Friday nicht until ft Oi this mornlne In
that period of 12 hours and 10 minutes
four hours. rui .1 half ' ire consumed
In mllealls and va.Mous interruptions.
Shortly after fi this mornlnff Senator
Kenyon took the floor and held it with
Interruptions for TJoruni calls until
9:41. At that hour there was n call for
a quorum and about in o'clock Senator
Burton, who had had an hour's sleep
and breakfast, resumed He seemed In
good form, though his voice was husky
' "The" whole Senate was In a bad tm-
' per. The advocates of the hill were still
bent on holdinc the Stfmte in session
until a vote couhj be forred ind motion1'
to adjourn were' repeatedly voted down.
Whenever It was r'sflble durlnir the
lanp and exhausting session the flllbus-
ters demanded a quorum call and the
speakers enjoyed brief rests Several
times calls for a quorum failed to de
velop a. sufficient number of Senators
and a squad of deputv sertfrant-at-arm
bearinp; writs of arrest were sent out In
' ta.xlcabs to brine In the absentees. Sen
ator James Hamilton Lele, the Demo
cratic whip of the ' Senate was hauled
from his bed at the Army and Navy
Club by a deputy, after the latter hail
threatened to arrest servant' at the club
because they refued to disturb Senator
Lewis.
Senator Burton spoke slowly durlns the
long hours of the nlRht, evidently savlnc
his strength. He soon discarded his
frock coat and pot Into an alpaca Jacket,
and renlaced his shoes for bedroom slip
pers. In this costume he plodded up and
down, pointer In hand, before a number
of maps to which he now and then re
ferred. , JThe determined effort to wear Burton
aTid his friends out was best Illustrated
Just after Burton surrendered the floor
temporarily at S o'clock tnte morninc He
was attempting to set over to his office
for a nap when arrested by a deputy
serveant-at-arms, and haled before the
Senate to help constitute a quorum. He
had enjoyed one little nap. however. In
the President's room during one of the
quorum calls last nlcht After a short
t nap this morning he went .to the Senate
'restaurant for breakfast.

" .SENATOR WILLIAMS WHISTLES.
In the Interval between the call for a
quorum and the completion of the call,
the chamber was practically deserted.
Senator Ashurst. who occupied the chair,
was forced at one time to call Senator
Williams to order because he whistled,
"How Dry T am" in the chamber.
Senator Burton forced a vote on a mo
tion to recommit the bill with instruc
tions to strike out many of the items.
The vote showed 11 to 7 against the motion-
to-recommit. . ".
! After Senator' Kenyon took the floor
this. morning, he forced a call for a
quorum and during the wait Senator
' KanXdell proposed that the Uergeant-at-arms
be directed to request the attend

Joseph Westermeler, the chef-ln-chlef
aboard the steamship Prlnz Osknr, quit
the ship today.
He Is going to visit a brother In Hoyts
vllle, Ohio. He has not seen the brother
for ears because the chief was too busy
to make calls in the States so far from
the seaboard.
The Prinz Oskar has her mud anchors
out near the League Island navy yard.
Being a German liner with a decidedly
Teutonic name, the Prlnz Oskar Is tak
ing no chances by going to sea.
The ofliceis and crew of the ship were
hopeful of making a home port under
tho protection of a German gunboat.
DODGCS BRITISH WARSHIPS.
Then came the news that the Essex
and other cruisers of the British navy
were picking up German ships.
The Prinz Oskar sailed down the river
then and cast her mud hook' under the
friendly guns of the navy ard.
There were no passengers on the Prinz
Oskai, no guests, and even the captain
went on a vacation. What could a flrst
class chef like Joseph Westermeler do?
He made beef stews for the crew, but
the scullery boy could do that. No one
would complain or offer congratulations.
It was then that the che of the Prlnz
Oskar had a thought. He remembered
that he had a brother. He searched his
head and learned that the brother had a
farm at Ho.UsvllIe.
He started to Hoytsville today with a
pocket tilled with American dollars nnd
a few Bavarian coins to give as keep
sakes. CHEF IN FULL VNIFORM.
Chef Westermeler wore his ship's uni
form with a few decorations. His belt
was trimmed with prongs from tho
antlers of deer. The buckle bore the
picture of the late King Ludwig II, of
Bavaria. It was surrounded with edel
weiss that Westermeler had

Westermeler became disgruntled. He
longed to hear the pounding of the en-

More than 50,0i0 heads were bared or

ORANG-OUTANGS PASS
CENSORSHIP AT ZOO
Villa and Sylvia Declared Tree of
Tubercular Ailment.
Villa, of Borneo, and his mato Sylvia,
tho orang-outangs purchased by the Zoo
logical Garden a little less than two
months ago, have now passed the health
censor at the Zoo and are regular mem
bers of society there. Although members
of tho higher ape families are difficult to
raise In this climate, authorities at the
Zoo now believe that this pair will live
at least Ave years.
The animals were purchased from
Louis Rhue, a Now York nnlmal dealer,
who got them from the engineer and
boatswain of a tramp steamship. They
came to the local Zoo Juno 22, and were
Immediately Isolated for observation.
Such animals nro specially susceptible to
tubercular Infection, but Dr. Herbert Fox,
the Zoo pathologist, Is now assured that
Villa nnd Sylvia are sound of lung,
The orang-outangs will be placed on
exhibition with the chimpanzee about Oc
tober 1. Villa, the male, Is equipped with
a coat of coarse red, brown and black
hair, while Sylvia's coat Is of the same
coloring, but finer.
Superintendent Carson, of the Zoo, Is
surrounding the pair with every safe
guard to pievent a repetition of what
happened at the Brcnx Zoo, In Now
York, where the entire collection was
wiped out by tuberculosis. In addition
to being perfectly matched as to size, the
ornngs are well mated and so far their
domestic affairs have not been marred by
a single "scrap." The exact sum paid
for the pair has not been divulged, but
is said to be high. Each animal Is two
yenrs old. The formation of their hands
and llnger-nalls compares well with th3
human hand.
Tho number of typhoid fever cases re
ported this week Is tho smallest for sev
eral weeks. Twenty-eight new cases were
reported to the health department this
week, seven less than last week's num
ber. Two deaths were due to typhoid
