He Addresses Crowded Galleries and an Interested Senate. BIS VIEWS ON THE RACE QUESTION—THE CAU- CASIAN AND NEGRO RACES, HE SAYS, CAN NEVER MINGLE—THE OPENING OF HIS ADDRESS AT THE CAPITOL TODAY. Noon was almost an hour away today when the door keepers, whose duty itis to care for the limited space allotted to the public in the galleries of the Senate, ceased to do anything but inform newcomers that they really must desist from crowding up against the doors, be- cause the physical force of a giant would fail to find either a seat or even an opportunity to stand, In the outside corridors was heated, surg- ing crowd that swayed to and fro, lamented its tardiness and cried for help. There was no help for it, thongh, for Senators had taken great care to reserve pretty nearly everything in the shape of seats, and allthe dear public could do was to indulge in its inalienable right to “kick.” . Senators were rendered almost desperate, and it may be truthiully stated that some of them were driven to the pega] ewe of sundry liquorsin the obscurity of the basement by the pertinacity of friends and would-be-friends, who demanded gallery tickets in spite of the eperens fact that not even a hundred pounds of the most energetic specimen of the male or female Rind could Sua on entronce anywhere. A blue oasis of rest in a very lively desert of crowded discomfort was the gallery which is sacred to the diplomatic corps. Hundreds of those who ‘faint, yet pursuing,” stood around in the corners, gazed longingly at the ten rows of wunoccupicd seats and wished the diplomatic corps was unanimously in Jerusalem or some other distant city, so that its gallery might be temporarily possessed by that portion of the great American public which desired to hear Senator John J. Ingalls of Kansas talk fora couple of hours on the race question, ON THE FLOOR, On the Senate floor there was that calm which inevitably precedes a storm, When Chaplain Butler opened the regular proceed- ings with prayer there were lesa than ten Sena- tors in their seats and there was neither a fairly full attendance nor an enthusiastic attention to business until shortly before 2 o'clock, when everybody began to wonder when the Senator from Kansas was going to pat in an appearance, Members of the House egan to stroll in and find seats on the sofas or in the easy chairs, which are ranged along the walls Ex-Gov. Alger of Michigan. Gov. Shoup of Idaho and Secretary of Agriculture Rusk were prominent among the visitors on the floor. While the regular business of the day wes proceeding Mrs. Morton and one of her danghters took possession of the vice-presidential reservation on the east side. Delegate Clem Studebaker of the international American conference, en- tered the diplomatic gallery about the same time, it was ten minutes before 2 o'clock when the long-looked for orator, Senator Ingalls, en- tered the chamber from the republican cloak room and took his seat. Half a dozen big volumes were on his desk and there was a great array of typewritten preparation for a big speech. The Senator's entrance was the signal for such a buzz of con- Yersation in the galleries that Vice President Morton had to use his gavel several times be- fore business could proceed. MB, INGALL'S OPENING, When Mr, Ingalls rose and asked for the read- ing of the billin full the noise and confusion instantly ceased, and perfect stillness suc- ceeded, ife opened hls specch in a clear, ringing voice, saying: Mr. President.—The race to which we belong is the most arro- gant and rapacious, the most exclusive and indomitable in history. It is the conquering and the unconquerable race through which alone man has taken possession cal and the moral world. To our race is indebted for religion. for literature, It has a genius for conquest, for politics, for jurisprudence and for adminis- tration, The home and the family are its con- tributions to society, Individualism, fraternity, liberty and equality have been its contributions to the state, All other races have been its enemies and its victims, This is not the time, nor is it the oceasion to consider the profound); interesting question of the unity of raccs, It ix snfficient to say that, either by instinct or design THE CAUCASSIAN RACE at every step of its progress from barbarism to enlightenment has refused to mingle its blood or assimilate with the two other great human families (the Mongolian and the African) and has persistently rejected adulteration, A PARADOX OF GOVERNMENT, Mr. Ingalls went on to speak of the triumphs accomplished by the exiles of Plymouth who had ventured on on a hitherto untried paradox of government—in nich thoe who rule are those to be governed. the shield of the American fovernment, he said, every faith had tound its shelter, every creed a sanctuary and every wrong a redress. It had resisted the rancour of party spirit, the violences of faction, the perils of foreign immigration,the collisions of civil war snd the jealous menace of foreign and hostile nations, After culogizing the first century of American history, Senator Ingalls took up his real argument and said that on the threshold of the second century the country stood confronted with a problem that might, if not properly and carefally handled, ‘result in manional catastrophe. A glowing tribute was paid to the late Henry W. Grady, and the last speech of the southern orator was liberally qnoted from, Statistics were then produced to show tat according to the records there had been an increase in the col- ored population of 2,100,000 from 1860 to 1880, This increase, 8: e Senator, can only be ac- counted for by a gigantic fraud on the census, A laugh followed Senator Ingalls’ remurk that Frederick Dongla: greatest living representative of his rac sreater by his Cau- casian‘reiuforcement than by his African blood,” but the Senator was in earnest and there was nothing humorous in his words as he went on to insist that the Douglass idea of absorption of races wes empty and worthless, He insisted that the races could not, would not mingle, The ballot which was alleged to be in the hands of the negro he said, neither a sword nor a shield; suffrage was a mockery. RECORDED ‘\DEBTEDNESS, Cen: Agents at Work Gathering Sta- tistics in This District and Eisewhere, this continent, A force of clerks is at work in the recorder’s ofice making a list of the deeds of trust and other evidences of indebtedness recorded during the past ten years, The clerks are employed by the census office and are engaged in collecting +ta- tistics of recorded indebtedness as rapidly asthe appointments can be made. Special agents are being sent through the country for the purpose of collecting statistics of this char- acter. The records are kept asa rule at the county seats, and these pant will be visited by representatives of the census office. A large number of the special agents employed in this work are already in the field, It is the intention to collect the statitistics showing the entire recorded indebtedness of the people of the Dis'rict and an effort will be made to ascertain what proportion has been aid off, The actual indebteduess will then computed. In addition the rate of interest paid here will be ascertained and a computa- tion made as to the entire amount paid out as interest. A UNIFORM ESTRAY, Its Loss Blocks the Progress of the Naval Organizations Investigation, The naval court of inquiry appointed by Secretary Tracy to investigate the question of organizations among naval officers met this morning and organized, but owing to the tem- porary loss of Chief Engineer Loring’ containing his uniform, it was determined not proceed further than the formal organi- zation, After the order convening the court was read the doors were closed and the court proceeded to discuss the scope of its inv tion, It was decided to proceed on the basis of all or; tions thut exist at unless it be former or ot slsaans have such Charles McGee, postmaster of Holmdel, N.J., died yesterday from the effects of carbolie noid he drank, mistaking jared D.

The House Committee—Mr.Springer Says ‘Washington Must Not Be Ruled Out. ‘The world’s fair committee of the Nouse had 8 meeting this afternoon, but failed to take any action. The New York folks were strong enough to bring about still further delay. Mr. Flower made proposition to increase the subcommittee on the site question abd au- thorize them to further consider the Sprnoger resolution, the object, of course, being delay, Mr. Frank produced a long resoiution pro- posing the unveiling of a statue of Columbus and ® memorial ceremony to be held in some place not named in October, 1892—the world’s fair and exposition to be held a year later at some place not named. MR, SPRINGER ON THE SITE QUESTION. Mr. Springer spoke in favor of his proposi- tion to submit the question of the site to the House before the bill was proposed. Mr. Hitt said that the foreign affairs committee had found, after considering the matter with great care, that it was impossible to draw up a generai bill, bigscnibery ays “epetindoery exposition wi ari e site se ayaa iy comniiiee would find the same difficulty, no matter how long they sat, The bill would have to be drawn up witha knowledge of where the fair was to be held. ag financial pemanen et a arran; accordii e Bil lected.

No bill, he said, could be prepared which would appiy to the other cities entirely, without excluding Washington entirely. He vaid be would not agree to any proposition whien excluded Washington from a fair and equal show.
