Mr. Williams thought it worse than the tariff., because the latter professes a virtue, while this was a naked spec ial privilege. “It is class legislation naked, un blushing. running wild.” He said ho was willing to let stand a speech" in opposition made some time since by Speaker Cannon. Democratic and Republican Measure. Mr. Grosvenor. of Ohio, chairman of the committee on the merchant ma rine and fisheries, stated that Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, had said it was an anti-Domocratie measure, which he conceded, but he said that ship subsidy had been a Democratic measure down to the passage of the law of 1891 and that every Democratic statesman of tho past days had been its advocate. The difficulty with tho other side, said Mr. Grosvenor, “is that you arc trying to be Democrats and belong to the Democratic party at the same time. He said the b'll if passed would not take a single dollar of the treasury of the United States, but rather add to the profits, because it would enlarge the foreign mail service. Mr. Grosve nor said he had never heard a lawyer, except one from tho corn field (allud ing to Senator Tillman), who object ed to tho bill. “I would like to call the attention of tho gentleman from Ohio to the fact that it is the men who labor in the corn field who have to pay tho sub sidy,” said Mr. James, of Kentucky, I which caused a laugh from tho Dem ocrats. The rule was adopted by a vote of 158 to 122. Twenty-four Republicans voted with tho Democrats in opposi tion to the rule.

The vote was 43 to 19, which is one more than the ; two-thirds required, i Senators Bacon, Daniel. Carmack, I Culberson and Newlands criticised the policy involved as extremely unwise and as creating a precedent that may prove dangerous to this country. Sen ator Bacon closed a long argument by saying that h* was weary of tile whole subject and glad to get rid of it. lie declared that the President for two years had violated the law In that iie carried into effect, without authority of a treaty, relations with a foreign Government which constitutionally could not be enjoyed without tho sanc tion of the Senate. Senator Carmack opposed the r,;!id eation, but said if action unfavorable was to be had on the treaty. :ie- P\-esldent would go ahead with it any way and the Senate might as well take the action that would have him from disfavor. Other Democratic Senators nsse: led that tho President had. negotiated treaties with foreign countries which never had been sent to the Senate, and Mr. Bacon mentioned among tin -o one with Cuba concerning Guantar mo. Senator Clark, of Arkansas, n Senator Patterson made speeches favor of ratification and these Den- era ts were the only ones of that si who voted for the treaty. id Trial Promises (o Pursue A Novel Course Before Elided ATLANTA, Ga., Keb. 25—The Georgia mayors will meet in Atlanta today in the Gm-ernor’s office to advise os to Dl*>ns to raise balance needed for the battleship Georgia service and to arrange a time nd place for presentation.

EDI RICHMOND. Va., Feb. 25.—On this, the opening day of the trial at Cul pepper of James and Philip Strother, for the killing of their brother-in-law, William Bywaters, on the 15th of last December rapid progress was made. A jury was obtained in a very short time from the venire of fifty brought from Shenandoah and several witnesses were examined by the prosecution. It was made the question as to whether By waters was trying to desert his wife of an hour, whose life he had'ruined, and whose brothers had forced a mar riage to conceal as far as possible, the sharpe he had brought upon her, is the one around which will rage the battle. It is probable the prosecution will com plete its case tomorrow. The defense will consume probably three days. The commonwealth will take up more time in rebuttal than will be consumed in direct presentation of its side of the case. The defense has .not summoned any witnesses. It will pursue -the somewhat novel course of depending entirely upon wit nesses introduced by the State. It is thought not unlikely, however, that the defense will put one or two witnesses on the stand other than those the pros ecution has summoned. It is learned that tho prosecution will call Mrs.-Bywaters, although that side summoned her. It has been impossible to ascertain from counsel for the de fense whether they will have her sum moned. She may f>c summoned by the . court. John Keith, who presented the case for the commonwealth, confined him self to a simple outline of known facts and did not adduce all those in so far as giving anything like a complete his tory of the ease is concerned. Jle de nted that there was anything in the evidence which would be adduced to show that Rvwaters was attempting to desert his wife. Mr. Jeffries made a strong statement for the defense, relating all that Mr. Keith stated to the jury and much more dwelling effectively upon the in timate relations existing between the Strothers brothers and Bywaters.
