Warm Times in Congress. The principle issue in the Senate continues to be the Brownsville incident. Saturday, Senator Tillman made a savage criticism of the president, alleging that he had lynched the negro troops whom he had dismissed. Monday, the president sent to Congress a special message covering the result of special inestigation he had made through agents at Brownsville, the tendency ot which was to remove ail doubt, as to tne gudt of certain of the negro soldiers for the disturbance. He modified his discharge order in so far as it prohibited the dismis.ied men from securing civil service under the government in future.

They may even re-enlist in the army, if the department is convinced of their non-complicity. Senator Spooner holds that Congress has no authority to I question the president as to what he does I as commander-in-chief of the army, but Foraker will push his resolution. Representative Gaines of Tennessee, who had introduced a resolution docking members of Congress for non-attendance, asserted in a speech that Mr. Mahon of Pennsylvania was absent of the time. Mahon denounced the statement as an untruth, whereupon Gaines rushed upon him and would have assaulted him had not other members prevented.

Apologies and a handshake followed. Randolph Topics in Vermonter. The la-t issue cf The Vermonter, published by Charles R.
