But the gentleman from Texas wye he Insists that all men Shall bear heir proportion of taxation. Why, then does he limit this IXr- to 85,000 persons? Why Is It that this system of taxation sets aside a aino.il rporion of tho population and forces them to boor this 'burden? If you o«i make Obis distinction for bur den*. you can make It for privilege*. If you can single out 85,000 .persons for special 'taxation you can single out 85,(W0 people for nficdhO privileges un der the government.

While you stand fast to that principle, you may be mistaken, but you can always retrace your steps. You may fail Into error; but your hearts will be loyal to the principle* of the parly whose faith you profeas. In whoso name you fight, whose commis sion you hold upon tills floor, whose history you should Vlndfieaie, whose fu ture you should try to secure. (Loud applause).

It wus not our policy, he said, to •-quire territory by conquest but by purchase. He reviewed the attitude of tho Untied Btatea tn the acqulallton of territory and argued that It waa within our power to In like manner engage In the conatruc- (ton of thla canal by guarantee. At the close of his remarks Mr. Mor gan said that he would tomorrow ask unanimous ronsant to bars a near time fixed for taktng a vote on the passage of the bill.

Mr. Crane waa alone with Seeley for about Uhirty minutes, and afterwards the repn-savtatlves ot the press were naked Into the office to see the two men. Mr. Crone stated, that Hedey hud absoOutrty refused to say anything In rego.rU to Ms defalcation until he (had consisted with tola atitor- uey, ‘Frank >W. Angell, In New York. Seeley said that toe had worked under Mr. Crane for fourteen years and knew no 'man In whom he would rattier con fide. but would refuse to answer ques tions put toy any one. Mr. Crane Mum rold: “I Waive asked Mr. Seeley question after question wIDhout soaring » ,wond of Informs tkat, but I wish to ask one more question and believe tt wfil he answered.•’ He sihi to Seeley: “Was any one be sides Frederick ‘R. iBuker Interested with you, directly or Sodlrootly?” “No, sir," proirrptLy replied! Seeley, “Baker was the man.” Seeley exhib ited consMeraMe feellrig when he men tioned the naJhe of Baker, and tihe look on his face Indicated ttiat he baaed even the ntane. ’’Geiulemen," continued Mr. Crane, "I can say to you that I believe Jlr.

A Weight has been lUted from his mind, and I know he feels relieved. He has done a wise thing Irr making a confession, nnd he ta perfectly willing to go hack to New York. He prefers, however, tc sunender himself to the United States authorities, aa his counsel has so ad vised. I came to Chicago to identify Mr. Seeley and also to learn ail 1 could from him concerning the defalca tion, but in the latter case, I have mot with a dismal’ failure. I had hoped to learn something of Importance, but Seeley stubbornly and firmly refuses to answer even the simplest questions. I am very glad to know that only he and Baker were Implicated, although In Jus Woe to tho other clerk* In the Phoe aud Leather Bank, I wish to say that none of thorn hao been suspected. I shall make no further effort to get lptorirntlon from him. I will return with the party tomorrow." Inspector Shea announced ilmt a United .States deputy marshal would take Seeley to New York. Mr. Crane said to the New York de tectives, who dime with him: ''Well, Mr. Nugent, you let the marshal take Seeley and you, can you caia take me. There seems to be nothing but har mony."

Berlin. l)cc. 12—In the budget debate In the relohstag today Count Posadowsky strongly condemned the members ot the Left for their antl-rural tendencies. Even tho Socialists In their recent convention at Frankfort hud permitted peasants to scats. It was a deplorablo condition of things, proving that the party of the Left was unable to digest tho German peasant wit'n his hob-nalted hoots. (Cheers.) This being the case, ho said, the government would preserve the peas antry. Latterly the population of tho cities bad largely Increased, to the detri ment of the country, where thore was not sufficient labor to supply grain for Germany’s own use. Baron von Manteufeil, Conservative, de fended tho financial policy of Finance Minister Mlquel. Lelbknecht, In speaking of the 'refusal of the Socialist members to cheer at the the mention ot tho empepor's name,spoke at some length. ••The Bpeedh from the throne," said Lelbknecht, "speaks of Justice, while It concurrent! ynnnounces the muzzle law. This Is hypocrisy." Here Lelbknecht was Interrupted by cries of ’’Oh. oh." and a storm of pro. tests from the Right. President von Levtezlow rang his bell and demanded order. When order was restored Lelbknecht resumed his re marks. Lelbknecht said that the capitalistic state was unchristian and contained the sources of all Immorality. Not tho So cial Democracy, but the corrupt social system, needed reform. Nothing In oxtst* lug conditions justified the proposed re pressive legislation. Tho Interpellation ns to the special protection of German sugar In this antl-Soclatlst MU will not come up before tho relchstug until after tho holidays. The relchstug committee has decided to discuss tlie question ot the prosecution of Lelbknecht after tbe closo ot tho dis cussion ot tho bill. One might ns well bo wflthout money ns without Price.

A Very Clever Performance by Miss Amy Lee at the Academy. Tlie play "P.nwn Ticket 210," given at the Academy of Music last night by Amy Lee and her company, enter tained and won the endorsement pf o lunge majority of the rather meagre audience present, and, considered as a whole, it deserved their approbation. The play Itself, following the old style, abounds In the couveititcM.il, fre quently verging on the hlxhCy Improba ble. buif it was not till conventional. And exactly the same thin* may be Justly said of the acting. Uncle Harris Levi, the Hebrew pawn broker, Is something apart from the usual stage types, nnd, ns rendered by Mr. P. A. Anderson, It seemed untalnt- el by exaggeration and very true to nature, ns seen on the Boweries of our larger Northern cities. The work of Mr. Anderson, who used to piny tho part of the Gypsy In Lot to.’, "Musette,” wus decidedly the best of tlie evening. His "Uncle Harris’ wus original nnd orttatic; there wus no strain about tt. The strain came chiefly where the author sought to work out an enter titinlttg plot, somewhat regardless of consequences, and to make Miss Amy Lee tho centra) figure. This little actress—for she used to be Ititte, once—lms been on the stage from childhood. She belongs to a family of players, find she Is not likely to forfeit the reputation of her family, all of whom have been at least respectable exemplars of their craft. As a soubrette. she is now a fraction bulky, but there Is abundance of "go” about her. and she doea not hesitate to pile on the modem* trimmings, which sho knows how to make effective. Attention ta apt to ba divided be tween her ncting. Iter slmting (neither of which is over toad) nnd her plump ness and Hamburg edging. There Is a decided "variety” tone about her performance, yet she easily demonstrate.* her versatility, nnd even touched upon the pathetic more than once but itigtot. As ’’JlonUFue Flash,” Mr. Frank Roane showed how useful are cour- ose. good nature and cheeky wap to cover up defects. His music seemed to have been chopped out In chunks with a hatchet, and yet nothing was more warmly encored. Jlr. Bland, as "Oslak Greg," was also wry good. He looked and bdiaved as If he had leaped out of the frame of one of Crlnkshortks’ famous Illustra tions of Dickens. It may be added that the company, considered in gross, is a pood one. Amy Lee is the daughter of Hose ■Watkins, who accompanies her on this tour. playiir-T a small part. Mrs. Wat kins Is nn old {Southern favorite.
