Opening Skirmish in the Senate on Mr. Quay’s Resolution. oe MR. HOAR MOVES TO AMEND IT, He Urges Consideration of the Election Bill at This Session. TAKING IT EASY IN THE HOUSE- SENATE. ee . Mr. Edmunds asked and obtained leave of absence for six days from tomorrow, on ac- count of his health. “THE CONGRESSIONAL PETITION BOX.” Mr. Voorhees, by request of the Wage Work- ers’ Political Alliance, introduced a bill for the publication of a periodical to be known as ‘The Congressional Petition Box.” Referred to the committee on printing. MR. QUAY'S ORDER-OF-BUSINESS RESOLUTION. Mr. Quay’s resolution fixing the time for voting on the tariff bill and designating the other legislative business to be taken up at this session was laid before the Senate, MR. ROARS AMENDMENT. Mr. Hoar demanded the yeas and nays on agreeing to the resolution, and then offered a8 @ substitute for Mr. Quay’s resolution his own Proposition making it in order “when any bill or resolution shall have been under con- sideration for a reasonable time” for any Sen- ator to demand that debate thereon be closed. He also moved to amend Mr. Quay's resolution by adding to it a provision to include in the business to be taken up the federal election bill, and to have the vote on it taken on the 4th of (eo deed Mr. Quay gave notice that at the proper time he would demand a division of the question— meaning that he would ask separate votes on his own resolution and on Mr. Hoar’s amend- ment, MR, HOAR DEFENDS HIS AMENDMENT. Mr. Hoar said: “I suppose that ordinarily it would not be necessary to discuss at all the merits of a measure proposed to be inserted in sn order of business, but the motion which I have offered, to include one of the most im- portant subjects before the Senate and before the country among those to be dealt with at the present session, requires (as it seems to me) a& compact statement of eae shares the mech- anism and the necessity of the bill which I have proposed to place on the list of subjects to be disposed of. A MISREPRESENTED AND MISUNDERSTOOD MEAS- URE. “There never was a measure 80 much mis- represented or so much misunderstood as that which has been sent to us by the Honse of Representatives. It has been carefully con- sidered by a committee of the Senate, and has been demanded by certainly a very large and respectable proportion of our fellow citizens. 1 think that nothing has been heard of it here except @ threat, from one highly honored Sen- ator, of bloodshed if its provisions should be adopted and should be attempted to be put in force. I think it proper, therefore. to call the attention of the Senate for a few moments to a Proposition which is nothing more nor less than é A PROPOSITION TO REMOVE FORCE AND FRAUD from the election of members of our great representative chamber and to substitute for the election processes with which we are all, unhappily, too familiar the peaceful arbitra- ment of the courts of the United States.” Mr, Pugh—I desire to inquire of the Sen- ator if he alluded to what I said at the time he reported the bill from the committee on privi- leges and elections in relation to the effect of an attempt to execute it. Mr. Hoar—I did. MR. PUGH DENIES MAKING A THREAT OF BLOOD- SHED. Mr. Pugh-—I desire to say that I made no threat, What I said was a mere prediction. A mere expression of an opinion that has been repeated in the House and in the press—that the effect of an attempt to execute that law would lead to bloodshed, I made no threat. It is an utter perversion—I am bound to sa; a willful perversion—of the language I use ut the time that this bill was reported from the committee on privileges and elections to say that I made any threat that that should be. or would be, the consequence of the execution of the law. It was a mere prediction—a mere ex- pression of opinion. It was the expression of a fear and not a desire or intent that that would be, or should be, the consequence of an effort to execute that law. + DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PREDICTION AND A THREAT. Mr. Hoar—The difference between a predic- tion and a threat, coming from the leaders of the gentlemen who have managed elections in some parts of the country, bas, unhappily, been found in experience a pretty thin and nar- row one. Butif the Senator does not like that phrase I will withdraw it, and I will read from the Record what the Senator did say and on that we will both stand, PULLING THE RECORD ON MR. PUGH. Mr. Hoar read from the Record of April 25 the following report of what Mr. Pugh said: “If this bill becomes @ law its execution will insure the shedding of blood, and the de- struction of the peace and good order of this country. Its passage will be resisted by eve! eek ope method and every method al- jowed by the Constitution of the United States.” The Senator from Alabama (Mr. Hoar sup- posed) would not question the accuracy of the report, The ccuntry would determine whether that was a threat. SENATORS’ OATHS QF OFFICE. Proceeding to a discussion of the federal election bill Mr. Hoar said that every Senator before he entered on his office took an oath to support the Constitution, and the obli, lon of that oath attended him through his whoie serv- ice. It was the supreme law of his great office —the chief purpose for which legisiative power was placed in his hands. He (Mr. Hoar) sought to impose no law upon the conscience and un- derstanding of other men; but he had to keep that oath himself, as he understood it, The national election bill undertook to defend the Constitution of the Unived States against an at- tempt to overthrow it = depriving the major- ity of the people of their right honestly and freely to elect Representatives in the other house of Congress and by substituting for such election processes of FRAUD, INTIMIDATION AND BRIBERY. It related to a matter of national concern. Its main object was to provide for obtaining the evidence upon which the House of Repre- sentatives couid safely proceed in renderin; jadgment as to the election of its members. It teemed to him that it was the moat important single object of legtintien that thet spring of liberty should be kept pure. The House had sent to the Senatea measure which it deemed essential to its own preservation. The pro- visions of that bill were the result of a most satisfactory experience in the United States and in England. are was nothing i i that was new. It was simply blending ions a law which had poh in in Englen for twenty-two years (with general public satisfaction) with the provisions of a law that had been in operation in the United States for nineteen years (with equal satisfaction.) 1¢ struck at evil 3 IN ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY ALIKE. It only applied to the whole country, with special precautions and safeguards, north had applied to itself for years, The national i tion expected of it. The Constitution declared {article 1, section 4,) that the times, places and manner of holiling elections for Senators and Representativer shall be prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof; but that the Congress may, at any time. by law make or alter such regulations. Congress had exercised that power repeatedly over and over again, from the very foundation of the government. The whcle manner and time of electing Sena- tors was regulated by the act of 1868. Thatact compelled the two branches of the state legis- lature to lay aside all other business, to merge themselves into one body and to devote them- selves to the choice of a Senator until that was accomplished. It fixed the hour of their meet- ing, determined what they should enter upon their journals and compelled the executive and the secretary of state to sign and countersi the certificate. Provisions had also been m: long ago, and much against the will of some of the states, in regard to the election of Repre- sentatives. The federal election bill struck AT THE NORTH QUITE AS MUCH AS AT THE SOUTH. He did not think that bribery was generally believed to be a southern offense. It was the offense of large cities, of old communities. He could not affirm that his. cwn com- monwealth had wholl: escaped from it. Unless well-informed men were much mistaken there had been at least one election where it rained shekels even under the very shadow of Harvard College. Mr. Hoar referred at much length to THE ENGLISH ELECTION sY8TEM, which gave (he said) absolute satisfaction. Were the English judges (he asked) more trust- worthy than American judges? Were the learned and able men who adorned the Ameri- can bench incapable of the judicial function when the dearest rights of their countrymen were at stake? The election law of 1870 had been passed at a time when ‘I'weed had said that he did not carr who did the voting if he did the counting. ‘That law had encountered (as the pending bill had) an outcry from the whole democratic party. In that connection Mr. Hoar read some extracts from the New York World of October, 1870 (calling upon the citizens of New York to resist military interference), and said that he had learned on good authority that there had been no contested election case in New York city in regard to members of Congress since THE REPORT OF SUNSET COX. He quoted the report of Mr. 3. 8. Cox, chair- man of a committee of investigation, strongly commending the statute of 1870, and said that that law had been designed specially to effect cities having s population of 20,000 or upward. By the census of 1880 there were 99 such cities in the United States, all but 22 of which were in the north. The law has been enforced in 57 of those cities, of which all but 16 wore im the north, NOT A SECTIONAL MEASURE. How idle it was, then, to speak of the pend- ing bill as a sectional measure, or as threaten- ing bloodshed. How idle it was to tell ite friends that they were reopening the issues of the war. Was cheating at elections “an issue of the war?” Had Jackson died, had Lee gone through that struggle (more bitter than death) between his allegiance to his country and his love for his state, in order that ballot bores might be stuffed; that naturalization eee might be forged; that returns might be altered, and that votes might be falsely counted? IT WAS A FOUL WRONG upon the authors of the bill to say that it re- opened the iasues of the war. It was a fouler calumny of the mighty shades of the confeder- ate dead. A majority of the people of the United States believed firmly today that for fourteen years the House of Representatives had been‘s usurpation, and that, for four years, a usurper had sat in the executive chair of the nation; and yet, when it was songht to t the ascertainment of the will of the peopl such processes to the courts, the friends of the bill were met by the cry that they were rai ing @ race is#ue and that was a force ill. “Phere HAD NEVER BEEN A MORE SENBELESS UTTERANCE than to call that a force bill which transferred the settlement of a great public question from the shot gun to the court, unless it was to call ita bill to create negro domination, to create race issue. The bill only touched elections for Congress. The negro was ina large minor- ity in every state in the Union but four. What tendency, he asked, had the bill to put any state under the dominion of the African? The bill could not possibly create any frictioa be- tween the states. The republican party was pledged to the policy of the bill by everythin; that could bind a party. Among the proofs that fact Mr. Hoar QUOTED FROM PRESIDENT HARRISON'S INAUGURAL and from his first annual message; from Presi- dent Hayes’ second annual message of Decem- ber 2, 1878; from President Garfield’s inaugural; from the republican national platforms of 1888 and 1884, and from the state republican platforms of Massachusetts, Nebraska, Pennsyl- yak New York, Mississippi, Alabama and Mis- sour! Mr. Paddock here interposed the statement that atthe recent republican state convention in Nebraska not a word been said on the subject of the election bill Mr. Hoar eug- gested that thereason of the silence of the convention was that it did not deem it neces- sary to repeat instructions in that regard— trusting to the representatives of that state to do the will of the republican party. COMING DOWN TO THE QUAY RESOLUTION, ifr, Hoar said that no body doubted that its purpose was to defeat the federal election bill for this Congress. The next session would last but thirteen weeks, fsom which the Christmas holidays weuld have tobe deducted. There would be thirteen great appropriation bills to be passed, besides the apportionment bill and the other’ business which pressed upon the at- tention of Congress. Thatconsideration should be enough to defeat the resolption. Every- body who voted for it committéd himself for- ever to the principle that the Senate had the re at ite discretion to cut off debate and to order the pag tobe taken. Those gen- tlemen (if there were any) who had once comet that they could not comscientiously vate to limit debate in the Senate and that every state had the constitutional right to be heard there at their own dis- eretion were now invited to say that the; would, ten or twelve days beforehand, make a despotic order that debate should close, although they could not then know what amendments might be pend- ing or what shape the bill might have as- sumed five minutes before the vote. What consideration (he asked) did the resolution hold out to those gentlemen for that wonderful change of Policy or of opinion? It was this—and this orly— that the national election bill, to which the ad- ministration. republican Representatives and the republican party in national, state and lo- eal conventions bad been solemnly pledged, be defedted. No man, he ae would challenge the sincerity of his (Mr. Hoar’s) DEVOTION TO THE PROTECTION SYSTEM. But he should take little satisfaction in the pending tariff bill if its passage was to be the price of the dishonor of his country or of the was measure the wages of American labor, so that thereby American citizenship and Ame: might be exalted, It could be brought |MIGHT OF THE WIND. | The City of -Wilkesbarre Ground to | Pieces by a Terrific Cyclone. OVER A SCORE OF LIVES LOST.! The Old Colony Disaster Described | by Eye Witnesses. LABOR LEADERS CONFER IN NEW YORK epee WILKESBARRE’S CYCLONE. Latest Particulars of the Death-Deal- ing Storm, Wirxespanrnrt, Pa., Augast 20.—As a conse- quence to the terrible devastation and com: plete consternation that followed the cyclone | which traveled through this city late yesterday afternoon and the fact that darkness so quickly enveloped the valley it was impossible to gather much intelligence as to the extent of the damage and loss of life. As time grows on the severity of the cyclone is more and more demonstrated, and it is singular that so com- | paratively few lives were lost. Immense build- ings containing many people were unroofed | andin many cases almost destroyed in the twinkling of an eye, and this atan hour when | the people were about the streets amid firing timber and debris of every character. The city in ite most frequented part around the depots presents its worst appearance, and when it is remembered that passenger and freight cars were lifted from the tracks apon which they stood and laid on their sides, while other cars were rushed along the track by the force of the cyclone’s swirl, asmall conception of its terrific velocity may be obtained. The cyclone made its appearance so suddenly ‘and was accompanied by such portentous skics that at once the stoutest hearts were appalied, especially so when at a high altitude were seen tin roofs, timber and all sorts of movable things, and the skies were a thick black mass such as is shown at the time of an immense conflagration, About 5:30 o'clock a huge black cloud which had been gathering southwest of the town in the direction of Plymouth began | to discharge tremendous thunderbolts, ‘The lightning played with remarkable frequency and streams of the electric fre poured from midbeaven. That a heavy downpour of rain was imminent was readily to be seen and all sought shelter. Later an unusual center of activity was noticeable in the vicinity of Lee Park. The lower clouds began scudding in great circles at tremendous apeed. Their vor- tex seemed close inthe vicinity, but to the north of the cutlery works at South Wilkes- barre a sudden gust of wind sprang up and in & moment had increased to a roar, THE FIRST SHOOK. The Vulcan iron works, James Norris’ foun- dry and the Keystone Flour Mill felt the first shock, the wind dashing the heavy materials about like straws. The storm swept on up Main street, razing the buildings on the west side of that thoroughfare. Everything was touched with a heavy hand. The beautiful shade trees were cast into the street. Then it uck ,theshandsome residences. stores, green houses, pottery works, &c., along Main street as far as Academy street. The western edge of the m extended to the lower end,of Frank- lin street and Dana place.

It followed Washington street, wrecked St, Mary's Gaurch, then jumped to the Lehigh Valley depot, the Jersey Centra) depot, Stegemayer’s brewery and swept along the railroad to Five Points. Here it turned eastward again, swept up Pearl street, out by Baitimore Shaft, No.2, then dashed up the mountain side and spent itself in the woods. The scene at the Hazard wire r works was terrible. The immense building was badly injured, and in the debris lay the dead and | injured, the latter helpless until assistance | came to them. Here one of the worst phases of the cycione’s work could be realized. the ponderous machinery being mixed with brick, mortar and general debris in a confused mass. The number of seriously injured men at these works exceeds twelve, and there were two killed, ‘Terrible was the scythe sweep of the cyclone at Five Points, a portion of this city. Mothers with their children in their arms cried to | heaven for help. Their frail homes were about them, the sir outside was filled with falling buildings and debris of all sorts, They knew | not which way to turn and in their extremity called to heaven for help. Near the Delaware and Hudson railroad, on Scott street, were houses occupied by the families of James Mc- Ginley and James Henagun. All the members of these two families were at home while the fearful destruction was going on powerless to do anything for their safety. WHOLE FAMILY KILLED. Both houses were leveled to the ground and the inmates were held in the ruins by the debris, Mrs. Eliza Jane McGinley, aged about twenty-eight years, and the babe she held to her breast were crushed to death. Every spark of life was extinct when the neighbors carried them out of the ruins. John Mc(Gin- ley, aged thirteen was crushed to death. Mary Jane McGinley, a little daughter, was so severely hurt and crushed that but little hope is entertained of her recovery. — family of James Henagan could not found in the ruins of their home and fears are entertained that they ished.
