Senate’s Routine Work.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—Tho senate met
at noon today. There was a large attend-
ance of senators in anticipation of the vote
on the reorganization, and the galleries
Were well filled with holiday spectators.

Mr. Befier (Pop, Kan.) presented reso-
lutions from several G. A. R. posts in
Kansas offering their services to the Unit-
ad States in the event of war with Great
Britain.

Mr. Voorhees (Dem., Ind.) presented a -

communication from the charge d’aiiaircs
of the Argentine Republic relating to the
passage of the revenue bill passed by the
house and asked that it be referred and
printed for the information of the senate.

Mr. Hoar (Rep, Mass.) called atten—
lion to the rule of the senate against the
reception by the senate of any communi—
ratio!) from a citizen or official of a for-
sign government unless it came through
the department of state.

Mr. Voorhees stated that the matter
had gone to the state department. but in
deference to the technicality of the rule
the motion to refer it went over.

." At this point the clerk of the house an-
nounced the passage of the bond bill.

Mr. Chandler ' (Rep, N. 11.), who has
been waging war against the interstate
commerce commission for not putting a
stop to pooling arrangements, introduced
a bill to enlarge the interstate commerce

commission and modify and increase the

scope of its powers.
To Raise Lake Levels. ,
Mr. Brice ofi'ered resolutions instructing
the secretary of war to make an examina-
tion of the physics 'and hydraulics of the
great lakes and to report on the feasibil-
ity and cost of raising the level of the

l lakes by a‘serics of dams.

'Mr. Chandler offered a resolution call-
ing on the committee on naval affairs to
inquire into the prices paid by the United
States for armor plate—as to whether they
Were reasonable, as to whether they, were
in excess of the prices charged foreign
governments, as to whether the prices had
been increased by reason of new patent
procesgeg, and whether the navy depart-

 

 

fi

ment had expedited the granting of [ESQ
patents, and whether any officers of the
Unit-£13 States were interested in these
patch? processes. .

Mr. Lodge (Rep , Mass.) then took the
door to deliver an address on the Monroe
doctrine. Before he began Mr. Mitchell
Rep. Or.), chairman of the Republican
caucus contuittee, gave notice that at the
con‘pletion of Mr. Lodge’s remarks he
should ask the senate to take up the ques-
tion of reorganizing the committees of the
senate. A resolution offered by Mr. Quay
(B 9.1)., Pa.) was adopted directing the sec-

. rotary of the navy to inform the senate

whether, in his opinion, it would be ad-
vantageous to the naval service to new
contract for six battleships instead of for
the two at present authorized on the basis
of the bids now before the navy depart-
ment, modified as might be to the public
interest.

Mr. Lodgc‘s address was listened to
with attention by the senate.

Mr. Lodgc’s Speech.

Mr. Lodge gave a very interesting
sketch of the history of the Monroe doc-
trine and told how it was vitally involved“
in the Venezuelan boundary line controlI
versy. He then followed with a brief reia-l
tion ofthe pending dispute between Great
Britain and Venezuela, which, he said,
had. now reached a crisis affecting most
gravely the honor, the interests, the rights
and the well settled policy of the United
States. .

If England, with no authority but a
disputed claim. seized territory and de-
clined arbitration upon it, her action,’he
declared, did not differ from seizing and
holding new territory in the Americas by
right of conquest. If she could seize ter-
ritory under a claim which had grown
larger with each succeeding year, there
was nothing to prevent her taking indefi-
nite regions in South America. The sen-
ator referred to the claim made on Veno-
zuela. by Great Britain for reparation on.
account of the arrest by the authorities of
the former country of British subjects in
the disputed territory. But the question
of reparation, he declared, must not be
mixed up with the acquisition of territory.
If Venezuela paid the indemnity fixed and
demanded by Great Britain, she acknowl-
edged in so doing that the disputed coun-
try is British territory and made the whole
case void. We had, he continued, neg-
lected too long our foreign policy and the
great interests of the United States which
lay beyond her borders. We wanted the
matter of the boundary dispute settled by
arbitration because if settled otherwise it
was a blow to a vital principle of the Wel-
fare and dignity of the United States.
He did not believe the people of England
had the least desire to engage in hostili-

ties with the United States any more than

we .sought or desired hostilities with
them. "We have,” said Senator Lodge,

the atti‘tu‘dc they assume in Venezuela.
They are attempting to take land on the
Alaskan boundary. They have just do-
nounced the modus vivendi and reopened
in that‘way the perilous dispute of the
It is not by accident that
those events have all occurred or all come
to an acute stage within the past year.”

The senator closed by expressing the
belief that the questions between Engihnd
and the United States would be peaceably
settled, but he was very clear that such
settlement could only be reached by action
on the part of congress and the president
which should be as firm as it was temper-
ate, and which should maintain the Men
roe doctrine absolutely and at all hazards
wherever it justly applied.

The reorganization resolution then
passed the Senate—yous, 30; Days, 28—
thus insuring Republican control.

ARTISTS WIDOW WANTS $50,000.

A Damage Suit Against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 31.—A dispatch to
The Public Ledger from Norristown, Pa,
says that Mrs. Helen C.’ Hovenden, widow
of the artist, Thomas Hovenden, who was

against the railroad company on behalf of

Thomas Hovenden, Jr.. and Martha Her
read in, and claims $50, 000. The plaintiff
alleges negligence on the part of the rail-
road company in not employinga crossing
flagman. At the time the'artist met his
ieath 'Bessie Pifer, aged about 8 years,
was crossing the track, and it was in an
unavailing efiOrt to save her life that he
lost his own. The child's mother has also
brought suit for $5, 000. ~ The coroner’s
iury which investigated the circumstances
surrounding the two deaths censured “the
officials of the railroad company, who, in
View of the dangerous nature of the cross-
ing, grossly neglected to place safety
gates and a watchman there.” The case
will come up during the March term of
the circuit court. '

BULLET son A THIEI'.

But He Succeeded In Getting Away W'itli
Booty Stolen at Metuciien.

METUCIIEN, N. J., Dec. 3t.—-The house
of Charles Yingiing was entered by
thieves. Mr. Ying’ilng, his wife and his
son Robert went to Baltimore to spend a
few weeks. Mr. Yingiing is known to
have had large sums of money in his
house at times, besides many valuables.
His son Charles, Jr., is a business man
of Plainfle‘id, s13 miles distant. It was

arranged that he was to come home every,

night to watch the house while his parents
were away. .

When returning home, he saw two men

prowling around, and as the house had
been entered about amonth ago, when
valuables to a large amount Were taken
out of a room in which the occupants
were sleeping. he became suspicious and
got David T. Marshall, a neighbor, to
stay with him. He went to bed with two
revolvers and a shotgun handy.
‘ Marshall wa‘sawakened by a noise down
stairs. He ran down with a revolver in
his hand. He saw a'window open. A
man was on the front stoop. He fired a
shot at him. By the time he get outside
the man 'had disappeared, but thestone
walk infront of the_house was covered
with blood. There was also the print of a
bloody hand, denoting that the thief had
been. shot in the hand or wrist and had
fallen lengthwise. No further tracks were
found. In a few minutes half the neigh-
borhood wore out with lanterns. No
trace could be found of the thief. It was
evident that he must have had a wagon
In waiting, as the blood stains stopped at
the curb. . '

The house had been ransacked down
stairs. Drawers had been taken out of a
desk and dumped on the floor. Clothes

had also been taken out of, closets, and’the "

pockets had been turned inside out.

Many valuables were taken, but how
much they wore worth cannot be known
until Mr. Yingiing, Sr., returns. The
neighborhood has been infested by chicken
thieves and petty robbers for the past fort-
night.
