The bouse went into a committee
of the whole on the private calendar
The- entire afternoon was devoted to
the cousideiatlon of li e bill to change
the rank of H< nry J Hunt fr< m e:d-
onel to m j >r geneial on the retired
list Finally a vole was taken on a
motion to report the bill favorably to
ll e house, and It was defeuted. Then
a motion was made to report it with
reertnn eudallon that it be laid on
tLe table end ‘he friends of the mea?*
ure refrained frem voting, leaving
the ermmittee without a quorum.
This tact was announced to the
htuee. which, at 4:30, tcek a recess
until 7:30, the evening setsion to be
for the consideration of pension bills,
sen atb.
The chair laid before the senate the
president’s message transmitting the
report of the civil service commis
sion. R ferred.
Among the bills introduced v a
one by Hoar providing for it quests
under national authority. Hoar said
the bill was srggested by the reports
of recent occurrences at Carrollton,
Miss The senate had had no infor
mation tnrtgard to iIkscoccurrences,
but the newspapers of both political
partbs seemed to agree about them
According to these reporis a wanton
and unprovoked crime bad been com
mitted, resulting in tho death of a
huge number of elt zsns In
which all the victims were
of 0 le race, and he presum'd of one
politic’.1 party, aud ail the murderers
of another. Such occurrences had
unfortunately been of fr< q lent occur
rence, but when invesugaied were
apt to take a political turn. The per
sons doing or apologizing for them
say they had no political siguifi ance.
Still the fact remained that it was
the opponents of the democratic party
that were killed and that the adhe
rents of that party were the murder
ers. This bill was to supply a method
of inquiry which would be removed
from politics. Referred to the judi
ciary oommittee.
The Edmunds’ resolutions were
then placid before the senate and
Ingalls took the fl ior.
Ingalls said be would take up the
question where.the opposition left It
He would btgiu where they closed
He conceded all that the democratic
senators demanded as the constitu
tional power of tbe extcuTveus to
appointments to 1 ffloe. The judicia
ry committee’s report did not impair
or infringe on the admailtted high
prerogatives of the president, I- galls
distinctly and absolutely denied tl a
the senate had asked fur the presi
dent's reasons fur suspending any
body from i ffloe. I 1 hie message
voluntarily sent to me senate, how
ever, the president salted ou‘
with an unfounded imputa'ioi
upon the position of the majority in
the eenate. He said the senators
and the committees had importuned
the executive for hia reasons for a
suspension. Ingalls denied this and
challenged anybody on behalf of the
adtninis.ration to point out one word
of tact on which ' ho president's Btae*
n ent could be justly founded. Uu
Itse some lenator should now, while
the del ate was going on, say some
thing iD support of iha' statement,
which 11 galii- denied, he would ns*
sutue that ms denial could not b*.-
met, , It had also been sa d that
“privale” papers had been tsbed foi.

(Laughter) He (Ingalls) was not
one of those who believed in non
partisanship in politics. Political
parlies were indispensable to a free
government. He had no patience
with men who believed it a badge of
virtue to belong to no political or-
gaaiza’.lon, or that it r«fl cted glory
on a statesman to efltot the inde->
pendenceof his party.
Ingalls was followed by HarrisoD,
Logan and E Imunds In sot speeches
with occasional interruptions by
democratic senators.
The question was then on Van
Wyck’s amendment providing that
in all such cases of removals the mat
ter of confirmations shall be consids
ered In open session of the senate.
Butler thought if there ever was a
time in tbe history of tbe sena’eor
the government when the injunction
ol seorecy should be removed from
the proceedings, this was the occa
sion. The senate bad been talking
about the star chamber pro
ceedings of the president and
attacking him because he
had not seen fl: to disclose lithe
senate the motives which prrmptrd
him, and at tho same time it had
been closing Its doors to consider
tirmlnatlots, which be (Butler)
would be very glad to have discussed
in open se-sloo, in or er that the
country might understand the
resenns and grouuds assigned by tbe
ins|ority of the senate for refusing o
eoi fl m nominations.
At the suggestion of Harris, Van
Wyck modified bis amemime o by
omitting the wordB “uf cot tiroia-
lion.”
Hoar raised the point that the
■mendmeut was not in order, inas
much as it charged the ruleB of the
s nate and uo notice had been given
of it.
The president pro'eraporesustained
the point of order aud an appeal ta
ken by Bu'ler was laid upon the ta
ble—yeas 31, nays 28 -a strict party
vole except that Vm Wyck aud
Riddleberger voted with the demo
crats. The vote is n it considered a
test of strength on the proposition
for open ex cutive sessions since re*
publicans who favor the principle
voted to table the appeal aud demos
easts who oppose it voted against
tabling it.
Harris having demand' d asepnrate
vote upon the resolutions, the first
resolution adopting the repi rt of
•becomwittee on judiciary was adopt
ed-yeas 32, nay- 26
The second resolution condemning
the refusal of tbe attorney-general to
send copies of papers called for by ihe
senate was adopted—yeas 32, nays 25.
Against the third resolution declar
ing it the duty of the senate to refuse
confirmation Gray raised the poiut
that it changed a rule of the senate
and was not in order.
The president pro tempore over*
ruled the point of order and Gray a, a
pealed from the decision.
Morgan, infeiring from some re-
maths ot Edmunds that he held the
senate to have tbe right to imprison
the attorney-general for refusing to
auswer the demaud made on him
on this resolution, iLquned of Ed
munds whether that inference was
oorrect.
Edmundsrep'ied that he waibound
to say for the progress of constitu
tional liberty and law, that any
officer of the Uaited States except the
president, about which he would go
iuto no discussion now, was lawfully
bound to answer the demand of either
house of congress, and that If he fail
ed he could be punished for con*
tempt.
Morgan—"The senator has stated
in his resolution that the attorney
general is lawfully bound to obey this
order.”
Edmunds—“Most undoubtedly.”
Morgan said that Eimunds evi
deutly meant to say that the senate
had a right to call him before it on
this issue and imprison him for con
tempt if he did not produce the pa
pers. That was the dcotrine that the
sanate now propused to assert,
though it had bieu carefully con
cealed.
Gray’s appeal was laid on the tt ble.
Brown moved to amend by strik
ing out the third resoiutiou alto
gether. The motion was not agreed

resolution it wan agreed to— yea* 30,

aud that every hour pa s.d w.thuut,
au Inuicatiou of unfavorable -ymp»

fatht i’s yslem iu good condition
and his pulse ass r nguud uu'uralub
tliut ot a person Iu health, and as I10
po sissed considerable vitality, his
amity were encouraged 10 believe
ibat he would coma through all

that hi* was iu u critical condition,
aud uot eulirely out of dat ger. Mr

of Albany, and MLs Mary
E Manning, tho siCietary’s
daughter, arrived hero tills luoruing,
Mrs D L.'hanty is the secretary’s sis
ter They were not summoned, but
came because of tbe alarming news-*
paper statements iu regard to the

that the secretary passed a ri sties*

It will be noticed, however, that the old
renowned Phillip Ucst Hrewing Company has
to record again, and is still maintaining its
proud prestige of being at tho head of thn
column, while tiie sales of its principal OOiOn
petitor ‘•how a marked decrease.
