A Warm Session of the Senate, In Which Mr. Allen of Nebraska Figured Prominently. WASHINGTON, March 21.-—The debate on the resolution to censure Mr. Bayard, Whfi‘hxhas already occupied the attention of the house for two days, was resumed today under an agreement entered yester- day to take a vote at 2 o’clock this after- I) 09 . . . EMT. Adams (Rep, Pa.), who was min- ister to Brazil under the Harrison admin- istration, in opening the debate today in favorpf the resolution paid a high tribute to the personal character of Mr. Bayard and his long service and commanding po- //%“ .12 / /"" I J‘; i s; ‘I 3 if" .‘ \sv *\ h EMBASSA DOR BAYARD. sition as an American that made his of- fense, while the representative of this country at the court of St. James, he said, the more flagrant and reprehensible. To show Mr. Bayard fully recognized his position as the representative of the whole people, he read from a speech de- livered a year ago by Mr. Bayard at Wil- mington, Del, in which the embassador said: “I represent no party as embassador to Great Britain, but my country and my own people.” Mr. Wheeler (Dem., Ala. ), in opposition to the resolutions, made the first reference to the tarifl today. He said this attack on Embassador Bayard came from Massachu- setts, a state that believed in protection for protection‘s sake. Major McKinley had, on this floor, argued in favor of high protection for iron, cotton ties as absolute- ly necessary to their production in this country. Cotton ties had been placed on the free list by the Wilson bill, yet he read a telegram from Youngstown, 0.. chron- icling the first shipment of cotton ties to Bombay, India. Mr. Hutchinson (Dem., Tex.) said he would vote for the second of the resolu- tions laying down the well‘ established general principle that our representatives at foreign countries should abstain from partisan speeches, but he could not vote for the resolution that censured Mr. Bay- ard by name. Censure Resolution Adopted. Mr. Fairchild (Rep, N. Y.) took issue with the majority of the foreign affairs committee as to the character of Mr. Bay- ard’s offense. They thought it was more- ly a censurable offense. He thought it an impeachable offense,.and he expressed re- gret that the committee had notradhered to Mr. Barrett’! original resolution to bring in articles of impeachment. Mr. Bayard’s utterance, he argued, con- stituted a criminal libel within the defini- tion of the law, and in view of his exalted position, a high crime against his country. Mr. Willis (Rep, Del.) was the first Re- publican to announce that he opposed censuring Mr. Bayard. Lise Mr. Hutchinson, he said he would be willing to vote for the second resolu- tion, but he could not vote for the resolu- tion for censure. First, state pride would lead him to vote against it. He respected Mr. Bayard as a man of force and distinc- tion. He did not think, however, that he betrayed any confidence when he said that Mr. Bayard was a born aristocrat posing as a Democrat. His instincts were feudal in nature... But his chief objections was that the adoption of this resolution of con- sure would appear to be partisan whether it was or not. Proceeding, Mr. Willis drew the mem- bers around him in throngs, and aroused great enthusiasm both on the floor and in the galleries by his eulogy of the value of the birthright of liberty and his outspoken contempt for American snobs, sycophants and simpletons, who discredited their own country and worshiped at the feet of the aristocracy and royalty of the old world. The resolution censoring Bayard was then passed by a vote of 180 to 71, five Democrats voting for it and three Repub- licans against it. . The second resolution, which expressed the general opinion that our foreign repre- sentatives should not make political or partisan speeches, was adopted by a vote of 191 to 59. In the Senate. The urgency felt in advancing the Cu- ban question to a finality in the senate was shown today by the abandonment of the usual routine business, the suspension of the reading of the journal and the im- mediate taking up of the Cuban resolu- tions. Having secured the right of way. Mr. Sherman yielded temporarily to Mr. Allen (Nob) to state his views on the claim of Mr. Du Pont. The statement had more than passing interest, as the six Populist votes in the senate are regarded as decisive in the contest, and this was the first expression from a Populist senator. Mr. Allen’s argument was of a legal character, the general conclusion being that Du Pont was not regularly elected and not entitled to a seat. He contended that Mr. Du Pont was not entitled to a seat in thesenate without a certificate or creden- tials from the executive of the state, and when this was lacking, as in this case, the courts of the state could compel the issu- ance of the credentials by the governor. Mr. Mitchell (Or.) rose to state that Mr. Allen stood absolutely alone in such a legal opinion, and that senators'now sat in the chamber who did not hold creden- tials from the governor. Mr. Mitchell sarcastically added that this disclosed Mr. Allen as the “wisest man in the senate.” Mr. Allen resented with spirit what he called a purpose to browbeat and taunt him. He cared nothing for the opinions Advertise in the GAZETTE. i of others, he held, and would not be hu- ' miliated by such suggestions. Mr: Chandler suggested that Mr. Call was sitting in the senate without creden- tials from the governor of Florida, to which Mr. Allen responded that in such case he ought to go back to Florida. Mr. Allen in cnuc‘usion said that at the proper time he would vooe against seating Mr. Du Pont. . Mr. Gorman moved that when the sen- ate adjourn it be until Monday. This aroused opposition, Mr. Lodge urging that Mr. Sherman, who was temporarily ab- sent, desired to go on with the Cuban question tomorrow. - Mr. Chandler pointed out the absence of a quorum, and on a‘iroll call 60 sen- ators responded. In the meantime Mr. Sherman had been summoned, and on en- tering the chamber stated that an adjourn- ment over tomorrow would be objection- able unless a definite agreement was made as to the time for taking the final vote on the Cuban resolutions. The Gorman mo- tion finally prevailed. BREWER IS FOR PEACE. He Writes a. Friendly Letter to the Lon- don Peace Association. LONDON, March ‘21—A letter addressed by Justice Brewer of the United States su- preme court and president of the Vene zuelan commission to the Peace associa tion is published here. Justice Brewer acknowledges the receipt of a statement of what the association has done in regard to Venezuelan arbitration and then goes on to say: “Permit me, in behalf of the commie. sion, to thank you for this. I may be per. mitted to add that we share with you th hope that the boundary‘question may be settled peacefully, and that nothing may happen to disturb the friendly relations oi your country and ours, which, continuing, speaks so much for the well being of both nations and for the advance of humanity.” The News says in an editorial on Justice Brewer’s letter: , “Justice Brewer‘s letter is peculiarly welcome as an evidence of the spirit in ' which the commission will conduct its la- bors. It ought to have a suitable recogni— tion. It could not be more suitably recog- nized than by leaving the work wholly in the hands of those engaged on both sides in effecting a settlement.” ‘ A Free Cooking School.

Novelty in Bicycles That Will Be- come Popular. ‘ \ Inaugurated in a Village Near New York —Paper Chasing Will Be a Leading ' Feature During the Sum- mer Season. Paper chasing on bicycles is a new thing in sport that promises to find many devotees next summer. A succes- ful and delightful meet for this pur- pose was held in a country towu not far from New York just. before the winter weather made rural wheeling impos- sible, and, barring an accident or two, collisions now and then being the un- attractive features of the sport, the env tertainment was a fine success. The chase started about 11 a. m., the usual hour for a. hunt, and the course, laid out by the leaders, was a most cir- cuitous one. All who took part, both men and women, were in cycling cos— lume. The women were in the neatest and most chic of costumes, with skirts just clearing the.g'round, worn over knickerbockers, jackets worn atop vests, which in several cases were of hunting pink, i. e., the brightest of scarlet—and hats which were distract- ingly coquettish and becoming. \Vlren the riders passer“ through :1 small hamlet en route with their bi- cycles “in full gallop,” they created quite a sensation. In their enthusiasm to be in first at the finish, they violated the town ordinances, if, indeed, the town was possessed of such rules, in regard to fast riding, and passed through the place like a. whirlwind. One feature worth noting in regard to a paper chase on bicycles—those who wish to see, but not to take part in, the hunt, find themselves very nuch “in arrears" if they attempt to follow in dog carts, victories or phactons. Of course, the more riders, the great-- or sport. And if the chase is given by a club it adds to the picturesquencss of the scene if the riders wear the club Colors. Violet and white ribbon badges were worn by the party, and there were about 50 riders. The party met for a “hunt” break- fast at high noon at the clubhouse. Immediately after the breakfast, two of the best. riders, with leather bags filled with bits of paper, acted as the “hares.” ' They were given a good start, and rushed along the well-made roads, turning this way and that, and drop-- ping bits of paper as they did so. The “hares" seemed to fear a hot pursuit, and, accordingly, ran a diflicult course for nearly four miles. When they were out of sight and some distance away the “hounds," some 46 in number, with a. whipper-in and master of hounds, started after them and had to follow the route mapped out by the bits of paper. They had to go over the same route, up hill and down dale, and now and then a “hound” got a. fall; no ditches or fences are negotiated naturally in paper chasing on wheels, which takes away something from the danger and also something from the run and ex- citement; . The “hares” laid their course to a clubhouse, where afternoon tea. hvas served. In summer a. beautiful glade, where a bountiful luncheon is spread, will be an appropriate finish. About ten minutes later the “bounds” came in, led first. by one of the feminine members of the party and her es‘cort, the whipper-in and second by two men, one the master of hounds; Miss was a good third. ‘ The gain of about ten minutes made by the “hounds” over the “hares” ex"- hlbitcd a remarkably speedy run. The first prize going to the young woman who was first in at. the finish consisted of‘a. silver bicycle lantern. The second and third prizes-a silver bell and whistle—were awarded to the next best riders among the women. There was a “booby" prize, which was pre- sented to the last man in at the finish. , Paper chasing on blcycles will be- come a. favorite amusement as riders become more expert, and bicycle meet-s will become as common as the conven- tional meets of the hunt club. It adds to the social aspect of a bi~ cycle paper chase, when the culminat- ing event is a. dance given at club with a- supper, a good orchestra. and lots of flowers and favors. It" the girls object to dancing in bicycle garb. dancing gowns may be previously dispatched. to the rendezvous. togethcr vith a chaperon. or two—N. Y. World. The Messengers View of Human Nature. A telegraph messenger probably sees as much of the other side of human na- ture as a. doctor. One told the writer of this recently that _ women never opened a. telegram without turnirg pale, and, when the message was not alarming, they looked disappointed. H‘e delivers about. two death messages a day, four birth messages, a. great many business messages, and once in a great while a love message that. makes him tired to carry it. He carried one recently to a young man in town that. read: "How are you to-day, darling?" The answer went promptly back by the boy and was to this effect: “I am bet.- ter, my love.” He once carried a mes- sage of death to a colored woman, and after reading it her emotions overcame her to such an extent that she caught the messenger in her arms and soundly boxed his ears. Another colored wom- an refused to open or sign for 3. mes- sage, but walked the floor and beat. her breast, and screamed, supposing it announced a death. When all the neighbors had come in, one more ven turesome than the rest read the mes- sage. It was simply a. notice that the woman’s sister would come up from Leavenworth that evening to see her. —Atchison Globe. ——Lawyer (a. few years hence)—“Make your mind easy. The jury will disa- gree”.
