I The Roach case came prominently to e front today in the executive session ' of the senate and was the cause for some rather plain talk from both sides of the chamber. The senate only went into a secret session after a yea and nay vote in which it was developed that the democrats had enough members pres ent, added to the republicans, to make a voting quorum. As soon as the doors were closed, the republicans propounded an inquiry- as to what the other side meant by refusing to permit the Com mittee on Privileges and Elections to report the resolution relative to the contest of Mr. Martin’s seat by Mr. Ady, resolution that had been agreed upon in the committee at the meeting Saturday: and. further why they had exhibited. what appeared to be bad faith in the Roach resolution, a resolu tion which republicans contended, had been agreed to by democrats on the floor of the senate. This at oiice precipitated a discussion in which it was developed that the democrats were opposed to taking up the Roach case at this time and wanted to postpone any further action until the next session of congress. It was declared by democratic leaders, as had been stated by them before, that if the Roach case was to be gone into, there were others that should be taken up a-s well .The republicans retorted that they were afraid of no investiga tion concerning any of their members, but thev insisted that- some positive ac tion should bo taken in this particular case. The democrats said that they were willing the resolution should be modified so as to instruct the committee to report whether or not they had the authority to make investigation concern ing the previous acts of a senator, but the republicans urged that this did not go far enough, and insisted that • com mittee should bo still further authorized to go ahead and make the investigation, if they found they had such authority. It was this counter proposition that the democrats opposed, and after long dis enssioti of the two views, so vehemently adhered to by the respective sides, the question was laid aside without any def inite action being taken. The Martin ease was given its share of the debate, the republicans eonteml ing that the cmnniitei- on privileges and elections should report the resolution as adopted at its ineoting. and that the work contemplated tinder the resolution should bo prosecuted under the recess of the senate. From the debate that en sued the republicans assort that they draw the conclusion, that the democrats do not intend to do anything in this ease, and will if possible refuse to look into question of the legality of the seat now occupied by Senator Martin. The nomination of Mr. Eckels to be comptroller of the currency was reported favorably, but confirmation did not fol low. it going over a day under the rules, there being an objection to its present consideration. This objection found ex pression in some very oaustie remarks by republican senators in regard to what they called lack of wisdom manifested in the selection for so important an office of a man who. by his own admission, knew absolutely nothing of the business of banking. Sir Julian I’auncefote became dean of the diplomatic corps in Washington this afternoon by virtue of his reception by President as ambassador from Great Britain. As Sir Julian is the first am bassador from any country to the United States, the presentation of his papers to Mr. Cleveland was made a function of more than usual ceremony. Postmaster General Bissell has pre pared a circular letter for distribution to the various postmasters of free de livery cities concerning the official an nouncement of the recent decision of the supreme court reversing the decision of the court of claims upon the operation of the eight hour law pertaining to the employment of letter carriers. The cir cular is understood to contain specific instructions to postmasters regarding the work of letter carriers more than eight hours a day. and provides that in eases where it is necessary for them to put in extra time they shall be paid accord ingly. Washington, D. C., April 11.—The .arrangements for the trip of President ('leveland to Chicago to take part in the exercises attending the opening of the Columbian Exposition, on May first, will be completed in a day or two. So far as the arrangements now extend, they provide for a quick trip on a spec ial train on the Pennsylvania road. The day and hour of departure from Wash ington and from Chicago have not been definitely determined, but in order to suit Mr. Cleveland’s wishes it is prob able that the train will leave Washing ton on the morning of April 30. and start on its homeward trip from Chica go on the evening of May 1. 'Hie train was tendered by the World’s Fair com mittee on reception and it will be ele gantly fitted up for the distinguished party? All members of the cabinet have expressed a desire to accompany the President and they will probably carry out the intention. Mrs. Cleveland will not. as already stated, attend the open ing ceremonies but will press the button at the White House that will turn the molten metal at Chicago into the mold of the memorial bell to be used by the society of the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution. It is expected that several ladies of the families of the cab inet members will accompany the I’res ideutal party to Chicago. SI’JNATE. Washington. April ll.—The journal of yesterday having been read, the vice president stated that the business be fore the senate was a resolution for the admission of the three senators appoint ed by the governors of Montana, Wash ington and Wyoming. Senator Gor man thereupon moved to proceed to the the consideration of executive business. Senator Call claimed the floor in pur suance of the notice of his intention to address the senate on his resolution to increase the membership of certain standing committees of the senaite. He intimated his readiness, however, to yield for executive business. Senator Hoar did not approve of that course and expressed the hope that. Senator Call would proceed with his remarks in ac cordance with the unanimous under standing of the senate. Senator Coeken 11—“ The senator from Florida has a right to yield the floor.” "Certainly he has the right,” assented Senator Hoar, “and he has done it.” Senator Cockrell added that that de stroys the unanimous consent hereto fore given. Senator Gorman renewed his motion nnd Senator Chandler demanded the yeas and nays. We join in the request, said Senator Cockrell, with the air of a. person assured of victory. A vote was taken, and although there were three or four pairs announced, the result showed that thefle were 55 senators voting. 12 more than a quorum. Hie vote, 'which was a strict party one, (1 of fer voting With the democrats.) stood: yeas 39, nays 16. So the senate, at r’ -’5 proceeded to the consideration of executive business. T he senate remained in executive session until 3:lo and then adjourned until tomorrow. Exports of cotton from March were in value $15,218,000, against $18,832,000 in 1892, a decrease of $3,600,000. THE HOME RULE BILL. Michael Davitt Makes an Able Defense of the Measure. London, April 11.—The first speaker in i the House of Commons today on a mo- I tion for the second reading of the Irish home rule bill was Ellis Ashmead-Bart lett, conservative, who earnestly opposed the bill. He was followed by Michael Davitt, who made a forcible speech iu favor of the measure. Davitt said that the bill would be accepted by 13,000,000 of the Irish race as a pact of peace to be hon orably observed. He had changed his opinion since 1886, and now strongly suported the retention of Irish, mem bers in the Imperial Parliament., The bill was a compromise, and not the re sult of a revolution, ami therefore the friends of peace in Ireland and England took it as containing all the conditions of a lasting - union. The Irish, Mr. Dav itt continued, did not wish home rule to cost the British parliament a single pen ny, and they would not shirk their fair share of imperial expenditures. , In re gard to landlord and propertied 'classes, surely the nationalists, who were desir i ous of making Ireland prosperous under i self-government, could be trusted not to perpetrate an injustice upon aoiy class whose’ ruin would involve the ruin of the country. Davitt added that he had little love for Irish landlords, but he was certain that the natiomialfets would weigh carefully every measure affeting the land. GA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1893. ✓ » TO DISMISS THE RECEIVER. The Presence of Richmond Ter minal Officials Cleared Up. Judge Speer's Action Unusual and Without Precedent. Mr. Crawford’s Strong Speech Before Judge Pardee in Savannah. Savannah. Ga., April 11.—(Special.)— The mysterious presence of Richmond Terminal officials here cropped out to day. The case of the Central Trust Company, of New York. vs. The Central Railroad was called in the United States Court this morning and Hon. Henry, B. Tompkins, of Atlanta, endeavored to show cause why a separ ate and independent receiver should be appointed for the Savannah and West ern system, while Capt. Cunningham argued for the Central, stilting that Mr. Comer should be retained as re ceiver of the system in charge of the courts as it would best subserve the interest of both roads and all concerned that they remain parts of the same system. Mr. Lowrey, of Lowrey. Stone & Auerbach, followed in behalf of the reorganization committee and then Henry Crawford, Esq., attorney for flic Richmond Terminal, who was iu court with W. Q. Oakman, receiver for the Terminal, addressed the court and in troduced two motions tinder the Rowena Clarke bill. The first was to discharge Receiver Comer and to annul all con tracts made under the receivership on the ground of illegality, and the second was to dismiss the orders of Judge Speer in regard to the reorganization committee on the ground that they .were irregular anil erroneous ami that the court had no jurisdiction whatever in this cause to enter such orders and that the same are utterly void. These motions came like a thunder clap iu court., as no one anticipated such action, and no one knew what the Rich mond Terminal officials intended to to. Mr. Crawford’s speech in behalf of the Terminal was still more sensational. Ho charged the courts with co-operation with the reorganization committee and said the case of a district judge taking charge of an interstate system of rail roads under a receiver was irregular and without, precedent, and characterized it as a most, unusual proceeding. Ho further said the court had no right to appoint n receiver for a solvent corpora tion, and the Central was such. Mr. Crawford also stated that the action of the court in allowing the receiver to borrow money without showing what It was needed for was illegal and un usual. and that the most unusual pro ceeding was the contract made with Hollins A Co.. . with the permission of the court, to allow them to sell collateral securitjas of tlho company iwhen the bonds fell due* in case they were not paid. Crawford’s speech was the sensation of the day. The court adjourned before Im concluded to 10:30 tomorrow moru iu £- A BIG RAILROAD DEAL. That Is Said to lie What Went With Red wine’a Money. Atlanta.
