MATT QUAY LIONIZED
His Advent in Senate Occasion
Of Tremendous Ovation
FLOWERS S.Y THE WAGON LOAD
Such a'Demonstration Was Never
Before Accorded Any Repre¬
sentative at the Capital.
Matthew Stanley Quay, re-elected
as a senator from Pennsylvania took
the oath of office in the senate Tiimra
day. Mr. 'Quay had been assigned to
the second seat in the back row «jn the
Republican -side, the desk formerly
occupied by Mr. liana, of Ohio.
An ihonr before the senate convened
beautiful Ifloral presents began to be
piled on and around the senator’s
desk, liy the time the senate was
called to order, the messengers had
fournd it impossible to place to advant¬
age airy more of the floral offering.
Not in the'history of the senate has
a single seuotor'been the recipient of
such a profusion of flowers, beautiful
iu themselves and lavishly elaborate
in their arrangement, as the Pennsyl¬
vania senator received on this occa¬
sion. ’One of the handsomest pieoes
was a huge keystone arch of white im¬
mortelles, the keystone being of deep
red immortelles. It was several feet
in height .and bore the words: “The
Verdict of the People.” The flowers
were sent to the capitol literally uy
the wagon load, and it was found im¬
possible to display them in the senate
chamber. Many of them were allowed
to remaiu in the corridors.
Just before the senate convened Mr.
Quay entered the chamber. As h«
was recognized by his friends tre¬
mendous applause swept over the
crowded galleries. It was prolonged
for a full half minute. Meantime, Mr.
Quay was receiving the cordial con¬
gratulations of his colleagues on the
floor of the senate.
By this time the senate chamber was
thronged by senators and others en¬
titled to the privilege of the floor of
the senate. Scores of members of the
house had come to the senate side of
the capitol to witness the
of Mr. Quay into office^ among them
practically the entire Pennsylvania
delegation.
As soon as the senate had convened
Mr. Penrose presented the credentials
of Mr. Quay and requested that the
oath of office be administered to his
colleague. As no objection was offered
Mr. Penrose escorted Mr. Quay to the
desk of the president pro tempore,
Mr. Frye. Before taking the oath
Mr. Quay shook hands cordially with
Mr. Frye.
The president pro tem previously
had announced to the people in the
galleries that no applause or demon¬
strations of approval or disapproval
would be permitted. Thus no demon¬ had
stration occurred’when Mr. Quay
taken the oath. After he had signed
the roll at the desk of the secretary he
retired to his seat, where he was over
whelmed with congratulations. Within
a few minutee hundreds of people had
left the floor and galleries’ the floral
offerings had disappeared from the
ehamber and tho senate had resumed
its wonted appearance.
TROOPS TO QUELL RIOT.
Governor Keckham Called Upon to Stop
Trouble at Corbin, Kv.
Colonel B. D. Williams, with a com¬
posite company of Kentucky state mil¬
itia numbering eighty men, under
command of Captain Henry Hutchin¬
son, with Lieutenant James Dodd,
with one section of battery A, ten men
with one gatling gun, left Franklin

The first Bteps in the formation of a
$2,000,000 combination of four exist¬

KITCHENER’S SECRET ORDERS.
Alleged That Black Flue Has Boon liais¬
ed Against tho Boors.
The “stop the war” committee at
London has passed the following res¬
olution :
“Orders which a British officer re¬
ports he personally received reveal the
adoption by Lord Roberts and Lord
Kitchener of a policy having for its
aim the extermination of a heroic na¬
tionality by starving its women and
children and the deliberate massacre
of unarmed prisoners.” General
The latter clause alludes to
Kitcheuer’s alleged secret orders to
General Dewet’s pursuers to take no
prisoners.

Governor Stanley Hectare. Bynclier. Could
Not He Convicted.
Governor Stanley, of Kansas, has
decided not to offer a reward for the
arrest of the perpetrators of the negro
burning in Leavenworth. He said:
“If the guilty persons were arrested
they would have the first trial iu
Leavenworth county, and the present
public sentiment there would make it
useless to attempt a prosecution."
DAMAGING TESTIMONY

The slate haviug rested its ease
Tuesday night, tho day’s proceedings
began with the pre: eututiou by coun¬
sel of the case for the defense. Of
the three accused men. Death most
showed the straiu through which they
were passing. McAllister, on the
other hand, was comparatively self
.possessed; but Campbell was evidently
troubled and anxious.
Michael Dunn in delivering his ad¬
dress opening the case for the defense,
promised to prove that tile death of
Jennie Bosschieter was not cansed in
the commission of a criminal assault,
and also that the charge of willful
murder could not stand against the
defendants.
Mr. Dunn proceeded with a narra¬
tive of the events preceding the death
of Jennie Bosschieter, the purpose of
it being to show that the meetiug of
the four men, McAllister, Campbell,
Death and Kerr, was not prearranged
and that the girl made the first ad¬
vances that opened the way for the
meeting at Saal’s saloon.
In the saloon, according to counsel,
the girl drank freely, taking oocktails
and absiutke. She became drowsy.
Then she was escorted from the saloon
to the hack, McAllister and Death

The hackman, counsel said, was mis¬
taken when he testified that the ac¬
cused men assaulted the girl. De¬
spairing of succeeding in restoring
the girl to consciousness the men put
her back in the hack and drove for aid
to the house of the nearest physician.
The death of , Jennie Bosschieter,
counsel said, was accidental; her
drink was not drugged and her person
was not violated bv the defendants.
CHA1UJEI) WITH ARSON.
Merchant of Fairburn, Georgia* Lodged
In Atlanta'* Jail.
J. E. Thompson, a prominent mer¬
chant of Fairburn, Ga., was lodged in
the Tower, at, Atlanta, on the charge
of arson. Thompson was arrested at
the instance of J. B. Brantley, anoth¬
er Fairburn merchant.
It is alleged that Thompson fired
four stores in Fairburn on the night of
December 31st. Brantley’s store was
among the number of buildings buru
ed, and Thompson’s store was also de
stroyed.
Thompson is said to be a highly re¬
spected citizen of Fairburn, and his
arrest came in the nature of a great
surprise.
The prisoner was seen in his cell at
the Tower, but stated that he prefer
red not to discuss his case,
“ 0f course,” said he, “every man
who is arrested for a crime, whether
he is guilty or not, claims that he is
innocent, and there would be no use
in my saying I am Dot guilty. The
charge against me wili simply have to
be proven.”

Members of Courtnmrtial Anxious to
Know How Leak Occurred.
Members of the courtmartia) who
sat recently in Atlanta, Ga., to try the
cases against Captain E. E. Aldred,
Eieutenant G. I. S. Watt and Sergeant
P. H. Huff, are very anxious to ascer¬
tain if any oue connected with the
court has divulged the findings of that
body.
The publication of the findings of a
courtmartial prior to the action of tho
governor upon them means a leak
somewhere, which is equivalent to the
violation of an oath, aud it would not
be surprising if some members of the
court should insist on an investiga¬
tion, so that the responsibility might
be properly placed.

CLEVELAND’S VIEWS
Forcibly Expressed in Address
Before Holland Society.
Wh ARB “HOPELESSLY ADRIFT”
Country, He Declares, Has Suf¬
fered a Sad Relapse and Passed
Beyond Old Lines.
The Holland Society in New York
held its sixteenth annual dinner at
the Waldorf Astoria Thursday night,
The Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, presi
dent of the society, presided. On his
right sat ex-President Cleveland.
There were (500 persons present.
Mr. Cleveland prefaced his remarks
with an acknowledgement that on such
occasions as this he was a sermon iz-r
and pleaded as an excuse the pressure
of great responsibilities in the past
■and the need of “Dutch conservatism”
to steady popular impulse. He re¬
ferred to “this time of headlong na¬
tional beedlessness.”
Mr. Cleveland said in part:
‘’The question is suggested‘wheth
■eriu present conditions this conserv
atisin characterizes the conduct or
guides the sentiment of our people.’
There can be but oue answer to this
question. Conservatism has in a great
degree been jauntily cast aside, or
condemned as opposed to our couu
try’s welfare and glory. A strange
voyage has been entered upon without
eouut of cost and without chart or com
pa«8. * The tried and sure foundations
^ uberty an(1 natioual happiness
! have been discredited. Reverence for
I f“ laxed r “^ional and satisfaction traditions with has our been coun- re
try’s ^ mission has been undermined.
W ar, even with the world’s ad
vatwe(1 civilization, may still be some
tim.ee necessary and justifiable or not,
the demoralization that follows in its
taain can never he evaded It teaches
bloody instructions, which, in a coun
try whose citizens do the fighting, car.
not fail to leave their impress for a
time upon public and private life in
time of peace.
“Thirty years after the close of the
war for the preservation of the union,
a treaty of arbitration was formulated
between the United States and Great
Britain which, if completed, would
have gone far toward removing every
pretext of war between the two coun
tries. This treaty failed of confirms
tiou in the senate of the United States.
Less than five years passed and these
English speaking champions of peace
and arbitration are still operating on
parallel lines—one in the Philippines
and the other in South Africa—but no
longer for peace and arbitration.
Both are killing natives in an effort to
possess their lands.
“This indicates a sad relapse, and in
our case it is a most serious one. If
England succeeds in her attempt in
South Africa, she will but add another
to her list of similar acquisitions; a
brave host will be subjugated and be¬
cause of our engagement in a similar
venture in another quarter they will
miss the expression of American sym
pathy which we are accustomed to ex¬
tend to those who struggle for national
life and independence.
“On the other hand, with success in
our subjugating effort a new, untried
and exceedingly perilous situation will
be forced upon us. We can conquer
the Philippines, and after conquering
them can probably govern them. As
a distinguished bishop has said: ‘The
question is not what we shall do with
the Philippines, but what the Philip¬
pines will do to us.’
“Our country will never be the same
again. For weal or woe, we have al¬
ready irrevocably passed beyond the
old lines.
“The problem is a momentous one.
In the midd of reckless tumult and in
the confused rage of national greed
and bloodiness, let it be proclaimod
that American freedom aud popular
rule cannot perish except through the
madness of those who have them in
their keeping, and by the blood and
sacrifice of our fathers, by the lofty
achievements of the free institutions
they established, by our glorious vic¬
tories of peace and by our reliance on
the promise of God, let Dutch con¬
servatism enjoin upon our people a
faithful discharge of their sacred
trust.”

REVOLUTION IS THREATENING
American Interests are Reported
in Jeopardy and Prompt Re¬
sponse Is Made.
A Washington special says: At the
request of the state department the
navy department lias instructed the
commander of the Scorpion to pro¬
ceed at once from La Guira to Guan
aco, Venezuela, to protect American
interests, upon reports that therevolu
tlonar y movement ,, there is . increasing .
and the attempt is making to take pos
session of the arms of the New York
and Bermuda company.
The news came to the state depart
ment from a private but perfectly re
liable source, anil was made the basis
of immediate representations to the
navy department. Secretary Long re
sponded very promptly. Capt. Cowles,
acting as chief of the navigation bu
rean, conferred with Acting Secretary
of Stale Hill respecting the movements
of the naval vessels ami the character
of the instructions to be sent to Lieu
tenant Commander Savgeaut, of the
Scorpion, which happens to be the
only vessel available for immediate
service, and adjacent to the scene of
trouble.
Commander Sargent has been in
strncted to avoid bloodshed and the
destruction of property if possible,
Still, taken in connection with what
has gone before,'there is little doubt
that if the disturbing forces in Vene
zuelo, whether governmental or revo
lutiouary, are seeking to take action
toward disposing of the incumbents in
the asphalt concessions, in defiance ot
the agreement that there should find
be a thorough judicial inquiry, the
United States warship will prevent
that action, peaceably, if possible,
forcibly if necessary.
Guanaeo is not to be found on the
ordinary charts, but is said to be the
nearest point to the Scorpion, lying
up the Orinoco river about two days’
run from La Guira, so that the
warship should beat the seat of trou
ble before the end of the week,
The state department also is in re¬
ceipt of private, but trustworthy, ad¬
vices that the Orinoco Shipping and
Trading Company, two of whose ves¬
sels were seized by the Venezuelan
government, is an English corpora¬
tion. The vessels are under the Brit
ish registry, but fly the Venezuelan
flag.
The state department is unable to
intervene directly to compel restitu¬
tion, but as American capital is in¬
vested in the company, it has direct¬
ed Minister Loomis to use his good
offices, as far as possible, to protect
these American interests.
TO KEEP PRICES UP.
Committee of Cotton Growers’ Protective
Association Called to Meet.
Harvie Jordan, president of the
Georgia Cotton Growers’ Protective
association, V . has issued . call for the
a
committee to meet in Atlanta I burs
day, February J4th. xhree delegates
will be present from all of the cotton
growing states in the south.
The first work of the committee
when it meets will be to organize a
state association and elect a president,
vice president and interstate commit
tee. Headquarters for the assocm
tion will then be selected where the

conditions sent out to every farmer m
the cotton growing belt.
Assurance has been received from
the presidents of the Alabama Missis
sippi, North Carolina and South Caro
lina associations that they will send

the association, thus aiding in the
movement to cmersify crops, hold
down the cotton acreage and keep up
the price at a point fair to both planter
and buyer.

A VANDERBILT WEDDING.
Young Alfred Endows Hiss Elsie
French With His Name

Although in the depth of winter,
Newport, B. I., the well known water
ing place, took on a jemblance of its
summer gaiety Monday because of the
wedding of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt,
probably the most wealthy of the, third
generation of the Vanderbilt family,
and Miss Elsie French, a charming
Newport girl and former playmate of
the bridegroom, the daughter of Mrs.
Frederick Orme French, a resident of
the city for many years.
, The ceremony took place at noon in
the Zabriski Memorial church of St.
John, the Evangelist, far up iu the old
north part of the city, on the very
shores of Narragansett bay, once the
center ot Newport’s fashion, but now
far removed from the social whirl ot
Bellevue avenue. Miss French made
choice of her own place of worship
and her old home for the scene of mar
r ' a g e > instead of selecting the more
pretentious but less familiar surronud
