After It had ilcsceodi d about 300 feet

i SENATOR BACON SCORED |
GROVER AND SATELLITES.
i The Georgian Denounced Olney's Grasping |
Desire to Assist in Cleveland’s
Dictation to Congress.
Washington. January I.l.—The feature of the senate today
was a strong, able and convincing speech by Senator Bacon
' against the position assumed by President Cleveland. Secretary
Olney ami th -ir senatorial satellites, who contend that the sole
power to recogniz ■ a government Is in the executive.
Senator Pa on had earlier in the session introduce.) n resolu
; t in <le hiring that this power belongs to congress, and it was
, < vl lent that he hid mad-- a close study of the question.
He was given close attention by the senate and galleries, and
replying to questions thrust at him by Hoar, Hale, White and
others, met every obieetion urged.
His cont -ntlon w that It wa< a legislative function; one ex
clusively for d. termination by congress. Even where the recog
nition was by the president, its validity. Mr. Bacon argued, was
i derived from the assent of congress, either direct or Implied,
i If the president had such exclusive power. It was greater than
, any which any constitutional monarch wielded.
Never. Mr. Baco.i said, was challenge of power more
sharply m id.' than f_- tie s -rotary of state In the matter, and
never was defiance of authority more boldly given.
.Mr. Paeon confined hinis.df to the constitutional and legal
points In the argument, refraining from every allusion to the
practical question of reeogu'zing tile republic of Cuba.
Mr. Bat on .poke f. r marly three hours, most ot the speech
I being delivered from manuscript. The Mills resolution re
| mains on the table. i
Senator B: con wis warmly congratulated by follow senn
| tors upon his spec. h. those who disagr. ed with him on his
| proposition agreeing he had presented it in a new light.

It Is uml-rstooil that the appointment <■(

It is an old custom, this of setting aside
a time for memorial services in honor of a

The tributes paid to the great Georgian
were honest and sincere, and in a number
of instances were marked with eloquence.
Men like General Catrhings, Amos Cum

Hermann, of Oregon. Congressman I’ins- j

members who spoke, gave evidence of deep

United States Minister Albert S. Willis

a. nt., after several months' Ilin; * Ti e
direct cause of his death was pneumonia,
which he contracted in San Francisco early
last year. His condition had I--a at tim-s ,
such" that it gnve bls family hopes of his )
ultimate recoteiy. and again it was pre
carious to a degree tnat tilled his physician
with grave alarm.
A few days ago his condition was much j
improved and his family remv.-d their
hopes, but the change tor the bett< r was |
but temporary.
Some time utter midnight Tuesday Min- '
ister Willis's condition began growing I
worse, and it was seen that the end was ‘
not far off. He lost consei>>usn< ss and
his breathing was difficult, and in this
condition he remained until dissolution
took place.
It is not know yet whether an escort
will be sent with the remains, but it sn ms
to la- the opinion ot u number of citizens
that representatives of tbe foreign ottiee
should be detailed as an escort to ac
company the remains to Louisville and
turn them over to the officials there until
tbe funeral takes place. A detail of gett
tlem- n, s'deeted by the minister of foreign
affairs, will remain at the Willis r« siden.-e.
I‘ireetly after the the
death of the minister was received by the
government, the flags on the judiclary
and at military headquarters were
lowered to half-mast. Most of the busi
ness houses and shipping followed suit as
soon as the d« ath w as known.
