Senatorial dignity and rules were lost In the confusion, half a dozen sen ators were speaking nt once, clamor ing for recognition by the vice presi dent and to add to the din a storm broke over the capltol. pouring tor rents of rain on the glass roof over the senate, whl'.e lightning flashes vied with its lighting system. Sen ators could be heard only with diffi culty. McCumbcr and Reed started to ward each other when Reed, refer ring to McCumber's Invitation to go outside, retorted: “I never saw a blackguard yet who did not wart to go outalde to settle." They finally agreed to delete the remnrks from the record. Senators Intervened while Watson shouted “Sit down, and inveighed against the "cowardice with which soldiers were treated here today."
