The Minority Report on the Contested Elec- tion Cases Not Ready. | Mr. Call (Pla.), rising to a question of privi- lege, sent to the clerk's desk and had read a newspaper correspondent describing the hostile feclings of democratic Senators and Representa- tives against President Cleveland in connection with sppointments to office, and stating that among the loudest in his criticism is Call (Fla.). He does not disguise his disgust. and talks about Cleve- land’s slowness openly in the @orridors and in the eievators of the Capitol after the Senate has adjourned. t statement, said Mr. Call. has been ex- tensiveiy circulated by the land grant corporae tions of Florida for the purpose, I e, of creating some prejudice against’ me. And I wish to state in my place in the Senate that it is absolutely false: that I have never criticised the President's poliey either in the corridors or im the elevators, in public or in private. I know of nothing in it to disapprove, and I ex- pect to give him my loyal support. The Vice President having presented a pati- tion concerning the Bell Telephone Company Mr. Gorman (Md.) expressed the wish that, by common content, petitions in regard to legisia~ tion shall not be presented at this session, but shall be filed with the secretary, to be presented at the regular session. After some remarks that course was agreed to. | THE IMMIGRATION ACT. | Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire offered two | Tesolutions, which. went over until tomorrow, [one calling on the Secretary of the Treasury | for copies of orders, regalations, manifests jand certificates prepared in’ execution Jof the immigration act of March | } San@ the other instructing the committee on immigration to inquire into the condition and | | character of alien immigrants, into the working | | of the new law, with power to sit during the | | recess and to send for persons an: | Mr. Hoar (Mass. ), from the cominitiee on | privileges and elections, presented the majority report in favor of seating the Senators ap- pointed by governors, Mr. Vance (N.

He hoped t e them ready tomorrow and suggested that | the order to print should be withheld, 0 that the majority and minority reports might be | printed together. It was so ordered. To EXAMINE THE CIVIL SERVICE. The resotution heretofore offered by Mr. Call in relation to the commission authorized by the last legislative appropriation bill to examine into the civil service of the executive branches of the government was called up. The commission consists of three Senators and three Representatives of the pres ent Congress appoinied by the two presiding oflicers of the last Congress, and the resolution declares that provision of law to be in derogn- tion of the constitutional rights of each house and to be absolately nuli and void. ‘Mr. Call addressed the Senate in elaboration of the principle declared in the resolution and at the close of his remarks Mr. Harris sug- gested that the resolution be referred to the committee on privileges and elections. It was stated, however, by Mr. Allision that some Senators desired to speak on the resolution and it was therefore passed over without action. ‘The Senate then, at 1 p.m., went into execu- tive session. At 2:25 the Senate adjourned until tomorrow. ———— THE CLAIMS DISALLOWED For Extra Services in Connection With the Rock Creek Park. | First Controller Matthews has disallowed the | claims of Judge C. C. Cole, Assistant District | Attorney Taggartand Mr. R. Ross Perry forextra | compensation, amounting to $30,000, for serv- | ices rendered in connection with the ac- quisition of property for the Rock | Creek Park. Mr. Cole and Mr. Taggart each submitted a bill for 25,000. Mr. Perry | claimed $20,000 in addition to his per diem as member of the commission, The first con- troller held that the bilis were excessive and re- | fused to pass the accounts. It is understood that he is sustained in his action by Secretary Carlisle. An effort is being made to have the | matter submitted to the Court of Claims for | adjudication. pect Peo oer ieeateed ANACOSTIA, Yesterday as Mrs. Catherine Simpson was | | driving across the Anacostia bridge her horse | | became frightened and ran away.

There was 2 home missionary service last | night at the Anacostia M. E. Church. Mrs. Van Anderson was to have addressed the | meeting, but failed on account of sickness to put in an appearance. Mrs, Aldrich | of Grand Rapids, Mieh., spoke earnestly | on the chosen topic and called forth sincere ap- | plause and good cash returns.

To the Editor of The ..venins Star: Apropos of Tae Stan's righteous {fight against that great marplot of this beautiful city—gr: crossing—I desire to relate the following inci- dent: On Saturday evening about 5 o'clock as grip car No. 19, having attached to it two passenger coaches, was going south on the 7th street cable | line, as’ it neared the crossing of the Baltimore | and Potomac Railroad Company's tracks a train | on the latter road was approaching. When the | grip car was at a distance of fully 100 feet from the crossing the gates began to lower as asignal for it to stop. The gripman’s attention at this | time seemed directed to something to the right and be stood, picturesquely leaning on | his grip or brake handle, gazing westward un- til his Car was within a very short distance of the guard gates, now entirely lowered. At thie moment he seemed to love his head and instead of letting go the cable and putting on both | brakes he took a tighter grip and with set | teeth and pallid face “let her go,” tearing away and breaking down the gates on both sides of the track. The stout and elastic timbers of the guard gates broke with loud reports and the pieces re- | maining snapped and against the side Poste of the car, making « terrifying noise | throwing the splinters, large and small, in all | directions, greatly frightening the ladies, children and many other passengers, some of whom sought safety by trying to get under the feats. the driver of the engine attached to the steam ning slowly, and was thus enabled to prevent the catastrophe which would have been the nat- | ural sequence of the gripman’s inattention to his duties It must be added, in justice to the | street railroad company, that ‘the gripman was | at once suspended on the report of some of the | Passengers, |" Mareh 27, 1898. mee ee Lucky Graduates. ‘The graduating class of the Naval Academy is larger than usual this year, but it is believed that every member of it can be provided for. ‘The class numbers thirty-six four, of whom are siated for assistant naval constructors, leaving thirty-two to be provided with other commis- sions, At the present time the vacancies actu- ally existing are twelve in the line, fourteen in the engineer corps and five in the marine corps. ‘Two more are assured in the line by reason of the retirement of Admiral Harmony and Com- likeli- ‘the two officers named.

Majority Report of the Committee on Priv- fleges and Elections. Ty HOLDS THAT THE GOVERNOR OF A STATE | ¢ HAS THE POWER TO APPOINT WHENEVER A | VACANCY OCCURS, AND ADVISES TRE SEATING | OF MANTLE FROM MoNTAXA, The reports of the majority and minority on the contested election case of Lee Mantle, « Senator appointed by the governor of Mon- | tana, were made to the Senate today, Mr. Hoar | submitting the report of the majority in favor of seating Mr. Mantle and Mr. Vance, ebsir- man of the committee, the report against reating. There are two other cases, those of Mr. Beckwith, appointed by the governor of Wyoming, and Mr. Allen, appointed by the | governor of Washington.’ Inasmuch as the | facts are the same the test will be made in the | case of the Senator upon whose credentials the report is made. It is not unlikely that as this is decided so will be the others. Both reports are rather lengthy and quote voluminously from the earlier decisions of the Senate upon cases dealing with the same question. | The majority state that they began their in- quiry with the primal. and controlling mandate of the Constitution resting upon them that the Senate should be kept full and the separate rep- resentation therein of each state was the most |amportant and unchangeable single obliga- tion which the instrument creates. The Con- | stitution provided that no state should ever be deprived of its equal vote in the Senate | except by its own consent toa change in the Constitution itself, and this consideration was held to be of infinitely more importance than the question whether the appointment should be made by the legisiature or the executive. THE ARGUMENT OF WEBSTER. In discussing the subject of vacancies the committee reproduce a part of the famous de- bate between Webster and Calhoun, and re- afiirm the doctrine laid down at that time by | Mr. Webster when he took his stand against | state soverei Upon thts line and in reply to the assertion that a failure by the legislature 10 be represented, the majority make a twofold ‘answer—that the Constitution of the United States did not mean to permit a state to refuse to be represented and that this constitutional | purpose has deen carried out as far as possible by the statute of 1866. Second. ‘The inability of a state legisiature, where there ix more than one candidate, to agree upon a Senator is by no means equivalent to a refusal of a state to elect one. The majority set out in the argument with the clear, unquestionabie purpose of the Con- stitution to keep the Senate full,and the fact that every other purpose of the Constitution relating tosuch matters is accomplished by holding that the power in question resides in the governor. The innguage of the Constitution, says the | majority, is quite as well suited to co: fer the power upon the governor of ap- Pointing to a vacancy occurring at the ginning of @ term, or to a vacancy which began to exist when a legislature was actually in cession and continued after the ad- journment of the legislature, ikely to be used. After quotin; nitions of the word “‘vacancy’ majority come to the conclusion that the words of the Constitution convey to an ordinary apprehen- sion the simple meaning, “if there be a vacancy, by resignation or otherwise,” the ex- ‘utive may make temporary appointments, &e. EVERY STATE TO BE REPRESENTED BY TWO SEN- aToRS. “The language of the Constitution,” says the majority, “it seems to us, was carefully designed to apply to the case not of @ single vacancy, which might occur only in a single recess of the legislature.’but to every case where a legisla ture having adjourned without action « second or third vacancy should occur, which, under the language of the Constitution, may be provided for by temporary ap- pointments.” This position is supported by | numerous decisions which are quoted after laration by the Constitution that that purpose is to be accomplished by the authority of the executive of the state when the legislature has failed to eléct » Senator. Third. The use of g in the Constitution which, ac: cording to good and esgablished usage sufficient in its — ordin mean- ing to confer this power on the executive in fhe case of a vacaney existing for any cause whatever and at any time whatever while the Jogisiature isnot sitting, whether contingent or otherwise. Fourth. Where like phraseology is used im the Constitution in regard to other | offices it has been uniformly held to have the meaning we attribute to it here. Fifth. The consiruction given by the very able supreme court of Indiana to language substantially identical. Sixth. The Senate has for many Fears past invariably recognized the control- | ling obligation of this purpose of the Constitu- | tion, even where the Innguage is doubtful or where a literal construction would lead to another result. AX USPROREN LINE OF DECISIONS. After quoting in extenso from the Bell case (New Hampshire) the majority conclude their report as follows: “It was shown by an un-| broken line of decisions, with one possible but | tained the authority of the executive to appoint | toa vacancy which occars at the beginning of a term by reason of the failure to elect. We do not think it necessary to insist upon the im- portance of an adherence by this high court to precedents in judicial matters such as the title | to its seat, ‘The only alternative is in the judg- | ment of the Senate, whether the rights of the states are to be dependent upon the changing | political majorities of this chamber. It ‘seems quite as important that the con- struction given by the Senate to the Constitu- tion in proceedings of a judicial nature should | be inflexibly adhered to, except in cases of clear error. of the’ grave and serious | attempt which must beset this tribunal beyond all others to depart from them in times of high political excitement.” E Boos eee THE COSTA RICAN MINISTER. He is Formally Presented to the President by Secretary Gresham. Senor Don Manuel Maria Peralta, tho new minister from Costa Rica, was formally pre- sented to the President this morning by Secre- tary Gresham. addressed the president as follows: Mr. President: The people and the govera- ment of the republic of Costa Rica have scen with the deepest joy the accession of your xeellency to the chief magistracy of ” the United States of America. ‘This great nation, trusfing you for a second time the direction and custody of her interests | and dignity, has given the highest proof of regard for your rightfulness and devotion to | the public good. “Costa Rica knows through her own expe- rience how strong ix your lovp for justice aud she will always remark with gratitude that to | your wisdom and arbitration she owes the final settlement of her boundary question with Nicaragua. “She then could not fail joining with the American people to rejoice and hail your re- seat and succession of George Washington. “The president of Costa Rica bas honored | me with the special mission to come, at this propitious juncture, to congratulate your ex- celiency and to represent the republic near your government as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, as bear testimony the credentials I have the honor to place in your hands. ded as follows: ote, Minister: Tt has afforded me much P tthe gree ‘ou offer me in Tcqsmaot ane goveumet ton people of Costa Rice, upon my elevation for the second to the chief magistracy the United States.

LOOKING FOR AN ANONYMOUS LETTER-WnITER. One of the belles of Georgetown is being an- noyed by agonymous communications. These letters con&in all manner of obscene language, mean epithets and cowardly threats. The case hes notbeen put into the hands of the post office authorities because the male members of the young lady's family and several of her friends are working on a clue. If the clue ds to the end to which the amateur dete Pot dl believe it will, wn is prom shooting sensation. The young iy and her sister were rudely accosted last Friday evening near the corner of 38d and N streets by ® man of good appearance, who in- sulted them and used several phrases similar to those contained in the objectionable letters. The young people were not able to make much of a disturbance.es the neighborhood was very quiet and they feared physical harm. On retarning home they gave a pretty minute description of the man and it is on this clue that the brothers are at work. If their efforts are unsuccessful the postal authorities and the police will be called to take hold of the matter. The family is much distressed over the troubleand deplores the publicity which will result if the case is turned over to the police. GEORGETOWN WHEELMEN.

Mr. Bradley, who has considerable fame in Georgia as a preacher,and is now taking a special theological course at Howard University. He closed his argument for the observance of ist’s precepts, the practice of Christian duties and the exercise of charity with a stir- ring plea for liberal contributions. The plea was effective, and the coffers of the church realized a magnificent sum. ‘At the morning service Rev. Dr. Armstrong. financial secretary of the African Methodist coval Chureb, held forth on the subject of the extension of Christ's kingdom. ‘THE CHEVY CHASE CLUB RUX.

Sanitary Inspector Dennis O'Donnobue is mach pleased at the manner in which the Georgetown people are helping him: in his | work of ridding the town of dangerous nui- sances.

This line is whooping it up in the freight carrying trade, and it is ouly a question of a very little time when additional steamers will be puton the route.

But It Took the Entire City of Philadelphia to Do It. ‘The Philadelphia Whist Club sent an aggre- gation of their crack players over to this city, and on Saturday night they met the crack players of the Capital Bicycle Club. The latter sustained for the first time im their brilliant career in the whist field a defeat. The contest embraced three rounds of duplicate whist, each olub showing six teams of four men each. There were eight players in each section, the second table of each section replaying the hands played at the first table. By this means all chance was eliminated and the contest nar- trowed down to oneof pure skill. The visitors won bya total of ninety points, or forty-five tricks. The victory is accounted for in one way by the fact that while the visitors had all P jphia to draw from, the Capital bors had but forty players from whom to select their team of twenty-four. An invitation was extended to the Capital Bi- cycle Club for a return game to be played in Philadelphia, and it will doubtless be accepted. ‘The visitors admitted they played the game of their life and were naturally jubilant over their fine showing.

Condemna- tion ings were begun, and, according to the language of the act, the circuit court took no account of the value of the company's franchise. In this, continued Justice Brewer, we think the court erred. The right of the company to charge tolls for the use and benefits of the improvements it had made is a factor that must be considered in fixing the amount of damages to be awarded in case of this kind. The judgment of the cir- cuit court is, therefore, reversed. Justice Brewer stated that Justice Shiras, having been of counsel in the court below, and Justice Jackson, not having been a member of the court when the case was under considera- tion, took no part in the decision, ee THE NEW COURT OF APPEALS: The Appointments Expected by the Bar ‘This Week.

In considera tion of his higher rank Sand the so- cial duties incidental to it it is ex- pected by other diplomats that this sum will be raised to $50,000.
