The New York Senator's Speech. When the applause subsided Senator Hill thanked the legislature for the honor it had done him, and then said that scarcely ever till November two years ago and November next "did popular elections put in issue such extreme dangers or so large a deliverance. The ground upon which the Democrats of the state of New York have taken their stand is the whole Democratic faith and tradition not some corner of it merely, not some splinter of it merely, tut the whole. This is the ground upon I wonld see the Democrats of the state or Mississippi with all Democrats of the north, south, east and west, both ot the regular organization and the Farm ers Alliance, unite and take their stand in the approaching contest. He Anticipates Triumph. "Other dut ies for another day. For, like the victory of Jefferson, this Union, this victory will close a chapter of history; will doom to final disintegration a degraded party, and will fix the direction of our po litical progress for some, decades in the century to come. ine Demo cratic party is stronger than any man or set of men. No man is ever indispensa ble to its success, for its strength is with the people; it is greater and more power ful than any class, however numerous.". BELIEVES IN STRICT CONSTRUCTION, Uut Notes a Case Where the Constitution Wan Larking:. Continuing Hill urged a close adherence and strict construction of the constitution of the United States, which, he said, was "the standing marvel in the history of civilized men. The powers which it grants are few and specified, and it concentrates and centralizes those few. It is not any legalized excursions by congress outside the constitution which explains why we etill live and move and have our being be neath its irgis; it is the declaration of state rights; it is the reservation ami surrender of the residue to the states, respectively for the people, by which we have truly lived and still bear our life.

Cooper then asked Raum whether a pension attorney had loans him money, and if he had not promised to promote a pension clerk in consideration of a loan. Fayson declared the question outrageous, and Itaum said the implication was false. He had borrowed flOO from Attorney lockwood for three days and paid it when due. He denied that he had given Indiana soldiers the preference in pension matters during the campaign of 1SSS, and ad mitted that he had put Dunbar, Cooper's opponent for congress that year, on an equal footing with Cooper, but said it was a courtesy shown to all prominent men. This ended the dav's work. the statement to be presented afterward. Brosius said if Raum had the right to make the statement now is the time. Cooper then took up theinqairy and asked Itaum if he hud any relatives in the pen sion bureau. Haum said he had not; he had recommended his daughter, a widow, for appointment as confidential clerk, bus she had not yet been appointed. Those lluginesa Knterprises. 1 n answer to a question Raum said he was president of the American Mining company, and Cooper said he wanted to ehow that Kaum had used his official po rtion to further the interests of the com pany by taking into partnership attorneys having large business before the bureau. Judge I'ayson said the statements of that kind were false and Raum refused 4o say whether Colonel Dudley, Uradley Tan ner, or a lawyer named Fleming were asked to take stock while practicing before Congress in Brief. Washington, March 16. reffer intro duced a bill in the senate yesterday to pre vent discrimination in favor of gold by the treasury. Some criticism of the treas ury was indulged in for tardiness in put ting in estimates on deficiencies, by which additional deficiencies were sent to the senate after the house had acted on the original suras. The conference report on the urgent deficiency bill was adopted. The military academy bill was passed. An executive session was held without re sult on Judge Woods' case. A bill to repeal the mail sulisidy act was introduced in the house. The conference report on the urgency deficiency bill was agreed to. and the remainder of the day was devoted to the free wool debate. Morrill Will Die In Harness. Washington, March lti. Although gen erally supposed to be at t he point of death, Senator Morrill has no idea of quitting at present either politics or the earth. When the doctors told him that he could see no one outside of his own household he said he must see Senator Frye. "Impossible," replied the physicians. "Gentlemen," said the aged senator, "while I live I shall be master in my own house. I shall have Senator Frye sent for and when he comes 1 shall see him." And ho did see him. Yoorhees Fights Woods Nomination. Washington, March 1G. Iu executive session yesterday Senator Toorhees ad dressed the senate at length in opposition to the confirmation of J. C.

It must be admitted that for a few brief years our constitution did not perfectly avail to insure domestic tran quility. That was in the last generation, and broken hearts must be healed by time or death, and one or two more generations must pass away." Been Long in the Wilderness. After paying the south a compliment for its industrial and commercial achieve ments since the war the senator said: "Not for one hour during the last thirty years has the Democratic party possessed. nor now does it possess,the power to repeal or amend the laws passed by the Republi cans in that period, the fount and origin of every present disturbance to the general peace and prosperity. A little while the Democratic party had the senate, a little while the executive for longer periods the bouse of representatives, but not for a moment during thirty years has it had all three, so that all these evil-producing laws have been absolutely beyond our reach and went on operating and go on operat ing now just as if the overwhelming Dem scratlc majority in the house of represen tatives were a Republican majority." Other Subjects Treated. The senator arraigned the Republican party for the "billion" congress; the re peal of the sugar tariff, and generally and specifically on the McKinley bill, which he said gave millions to the rich but did not belp the poor one cent, and should be wiped off" the statute books; for the Sherman silver bill "into which every Re publican monetary heresy is crowded," In THE MODUS VIVENDI MATTER. What A British Columbian Member of Parliament Sayo. OTTAWA.Ont., March 16. Thomas Earle. member of parliament for Victoria, Brit ish Columbia, speaking to, The Ottawa Free Press of the attitude of the United States government because of Lord Salis bury's refusal to renew the modus Vivendi of last year, says that the British govern ment cannot consistently assist - iu enforc ing regulations prescribed by the United States congress for the protection of seals in the Behring sea, while at the same time time denying t he right of congress to make any such regulations. A New View of the Case. "It seems to me," said Mr. Earle, "that the question of jurisdiction or ownership over the seal fisheries of Behring sea should be determined before any action is taken toward protec ting the seal. If the Americans have no jurisdiction over those waters then any laws made on the sub ject of seal protection by the congress are null and void and incapable of enforce ment. Until the court of arbitration has declared that the United States has exclu sive jurisdic tion over the Behring sea fish eries it would be absurd for Great Britain to agree to the enforcement of regulations made by the American congress for the protection of such fisheries. The people of the United Stales must see that the position of their goverment upon that point is untenable.1 A Kitluupeil Hoy Kftcapes. Shamokin, Fa., March 10.
