The Thirty-eighth Congress held that in this case General Schenck was entitled to his seat. A great deal depends upon the date of acceptance of General Wheeler's resig- nation, he having sald himseif that it was tendered to the War Department on the 2th of November, 1889, two weeks before the assembling of Congress. The fact that Representative Bailey was the leader of the opposition to General Wheeler's retaining his seat in the Fifty-fiftth Con- gress makes his probable action at this time of much interest. cammead A Suicide at Napa.

There was also an entire absence of music, only the voices of hundreds of priests being heard in the “Gregorian Chant.” This was in aceordance with the dead prelate’s wish. The ceremonies began at 7 o'clock, when Cardinal Gibbons and each of the Arch- bishops celebrated requiem mass.
