Snarled Up in the Rules, They Make Personal Remarks, AND MR. REED ENJOYS If ALL Mr. Morgan and Mr. Hill Exchange Compliments. R. SHERMAN’S SPEECH. The entire Senate seemed to have put a great big chip on its shoulder yesterday. Beginning with the very acid spat between Senators Dolph and Harris, the discussion over the adoption of the journal drifted in- to personal channels until the air was thick with angry denunciations. Senator Mor- gan threw stones right and left, both at republicans and democrats. Most of them hit hard. Senator Washburn was his first target, and he suffered considerably from the bombardment. The tilt almost reached the coffee and pistol stage between them. Then Mr. Morgan and Mr. Gray paid their compliments to each other, and the Senator from Delaware showed more feeling than he is accustomed to exhibit. Next Mr. Mor- gan selected Mr. Hill as a butt, and he called him by uncomplimentary terms among which was “New York politician.” Even Senator Sherman was not free from attack, for Mr. Morgan spoke of him con- les and is Well Satisfied. temptuously as the assistant leader of the democracy. The most amusing episode of the afternoon was that of the triumphant entry of ex-Speaker Reed upon the scene. He came into the chamber just when Sena- tor Hill was arguing to show that a presid- ing officer had the right to count a quorum, and a smile of large avoirdupols wreathed the features of the man from Maine as he reflected that here at last was a public democratic vindication of his “czarism.” The jovial and rotund man who played such a havoe among the non-voters in the Fifty-first Congress sat on the back row be- tween Senators Teller and Dubois and talked playfully about the rewards of the patient and other good things, and he was evidently mightily pleased with the situa- tion, for he grew almost hilarious in his smile as the thunder ‘of the democratic disturbances rolled around his ears, It was altogether a Reed day. Senator Gray took the floor after the con- clusion of Mr. Morgan's speech, and out- ined his position as that of one who would like to see Senators counted to make a quo- rum, while he could not see his way clear to making them vote. He spoke for nearly half an hour. He pointed out the difficul- ties in the way of rules that would provide for ail contingencies, and held up to view the various loop-holes that have been worn through the present rules. He denounced all coercion upon representatives of the states in the national legislature as a step toward absolutism. He was followed by Mr. Hill, who made his second speech of the day on the subject of counting a quorum. He referred again to the decisions of the Supreme Court on the subject to sustain his contention that the presiding officer has the perfect right to count members who are present and. re- fuse to contribute to the quorum for the purpose of doing business. He grew in- tensely personal when he replied to the strictures laid upon him by Mr. Morgan, who had paid his compliments to the New Yorker in no uncertain terms, and had re- flected upon the honesty of the New York democracy in the matter of elections. Mr. Hill resented this and sarcastically inti- mated that of course there were no politi- cians in Alabama, nothing but statesmen, and that the Kolb case was in no way a | sample of dishonesty in election methods. Senator Morgan gave an apt illustration of how eloquently a statesman can remain silent under fire when Mr. Hill turned the stream of his satire upon his white head. “It does not lie in the mouth of the Sen- ator f-om Alabama,” vehemently continued Mr. Hill, “with the record of the election case of Mr. Kolb before him, to reflect upon the honesty of elections in the state of New York. The Senator has spoken of his life- leng devotion to the Constitution. I had supposed that for a brief period he was supporting another constitution, but I may be mistaken.” Senator Morgan was deeply absorbed in the pages of the Congressional Record, and did not see the angry fist that was being swung through the air behind him. Mr. Hill's sarcasm would have cut through nickel steel as he said. “And when he talks about dying at his post let me tell him now that I have heard othe> men say they were going to die in the last ditch, and they are all alive yet.” Just then the next chapter in the Record was the most interesting thing in the world to Mr. Morgan. ‘Then Mr. Hill made the Senate roar with laughter as he said: “The Senator has taken occasion to speak disrespectfully of the decision of the Su- | preme Court. Let me tell him g story. A | lawyer, pleading before a country justice, read a page of Blackstone, not for the pur- pose, he said, of convincing the justice, but of showing what a fool Blackstone was. I cite the decision of the Supreme Court, not Senators Morgan and Hill. to show that the Senator is wrong, for he fs always right, but to show what a fool the Supreme Court made of itself.” But M>.Morgan had found a passage in the Record that possessed the most enthralling charm for him, and he thus disappointed Mr. Hill, who gave over the attempt to draw words from the veteran Alabama Sen- ato ese democratic courtesies roused the Senate from the attitude of indifference which had been assumed after the first haif | hour of the debate. Mr. Hill quoted from | the Journal of the Senate of June 19, 1879, when Senator Thurman, then acting pzesid- ing officer of the Senate, caused a quorum to be counted when the republicans refused to vote and thus broke the voting quorum, though there were fifty-one Senators in the ckamber. Senator Hill remarked that he far pre- ferred to follow in the lead of Mr. Thurman | than in that of the Senator from Alabama. Senator Sherman took the floor to say that he would like to make a few observa- tions upon the situation, but would give | way if a vote was desired. Mr. Washbu:n | moved to table Mr.Dolph's proposed amend- ment to the journal. but after a colloquy between him, the chair, Mr. Dolph and Mr. Call, he withdrew his motion, and Senator Sherman proceeded. Mr. Sherman’s Speech. Mr. Sherman's speech was one of the most remarkable that has occurred during the @ebate. It was regarded as outlining the re- publican policy and sounding the keynote which will be followed in the political cam- paign. He warned the democratic party that they were responsible to the country and that it was their duty to provide the legislation necessary to preserve business in- terests from destruction and thousands of citizens from starvation. If they could not repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman law unconditionally, as Mr. Cleveland rec- ommended, it was their duty to do some- In @ tone between a taunt and an appeal he called upon the majority to get together. He gaid that whenever a minority pressed {ts means of obstruction unduly it acted in the nature of a revolution; it sought to break down the rules of the Senate and to use them as a means to deprive the Senate of its power to make laws for the people of the United States. He knew that the recent obstruction made during this heated contest had gone far beyond anything he had seen in his experience as a member of the Sen- ate. He had seen measures resorted to on the present occasion which had never been resorted to since he had been a member of the Senate or (as he believed) since the gov- ernment was framed. He said that the Senate would have to follow the example of other legislative bod- fes. It would have to follow the example recently set by the house of commons in England, and by the House of Representa- tives in ‘the United States, and which pre- vajled in France and all countries having an organized legislature. In every legislative body in Europe that he knew of there was a power to limit debate within the bounds of reason, so that the majority might exercise power and that the laws might be passed. In his judgment the best way would be in the next session to have the committee on rules strengthened to a larger number and to let that committee take and examine all these various rules, and (carefully Imiting debate and giving to the minority an oppor- tunity to express its opinion) to prescribe some reasonable rules by which the majority should fix the time when the final vote should be taken. ‘The President Republican Sen- ators, ‘The President of the United States,” he sald, “has expressed his opinion. We on this side have not obstructed the opinion of the President. We do not believe in him; we do not believe in his policy; we are under no obligations to him. And yet we furnish nearly two-thirds of the vote to pass the pending bill, while the party which the Pres- ident represents stands here unable to for- mulate a policy and to say what it desires. If they do not agree with the President on this bill, let them say so. Let them formu- late something else.” “There are three or four important meas- ures of public interest that demand solution at the hands of the Senate, but this bill stands in the way. One Is, whether you shall continue the purchase of silver bul- lion, On that honest men may differ. I be- Heved in that policy, and wanted to give It the longest and most beneficial experience. We have tried {t.and, according to our hum- ble judgment, we think that on the whole it is not wise to continue it farther. We have now 570,000,000 of silver dollars cgined, or we have the bullion to coin it. We have be- sides $77,000,000 of silver coined and in wide circulation as what is called subsidiary coin. We have silver bullion enough to supply all that can be coined in the next two or three years. Therefore, we acquiesce in the rep- resentation of the President that the pur- chase of silver bullion tends to create a disturbance in the markets of the world and tends to excite a want of confidence in our ability to maintain a parity of gold and silver. We have tried the experiment and we believe that it has failed. ‘The price of silver has decreased, notwithstanding the enormous purchases ‘of it by the govern- ment. Silver Not to Be Demonetizea. “This 1s not @ propositon to demonetize silver. We have more silver now in the United States than we ever had before in our whole previous history. No one propos- es to disturb that silver. On the contrary, we would be glad to join with our friends on the other side of the chamber to in- crease the subsidiary coin. That, I believe, is the coin which the people of this country desire rather than large dollars; and any other measure which tends to promote the use of silver we are ready and willing to help. The President suggests, however, that the best measure is first to kill all the present silver purchase laws. We think so, too. But the other side does not think so,and their vote is potent. They have the mat- ter in their hands. Let them agree upon something. “In times past we (the republicans) never shrunk from responsibility. We were repub- Hcans because we believed in republican principles agd men and measures. Rut whenever a question came up that had to be decided, we never pleaded the baby act, or said that we could not agree. We met together in conclave and there agreed, and in that way we passed all the great laws which have marked American history in the last thirty years. Of course democrats opposed us. I think that if the repyblicans were to offer the Ten Commandments or the Lord's Prayer the democrats would oppose them.” (Laughter.) The Bond Question. He said that the very important question of providing money for the current expens- es of the government was pressing. Con- gress was called upon to determine on the question of issuing bonds. Gentlemen ob- jected that they did not want to increase the debt of the nation. Did they not know that the debt was being increased every day? What they were called upon to do was to provide means for the payment of debts now accumulating. “I have seen a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury,” he said, “showing that there will be a deficit of fifty millions this year. That is a debt that is being con: tracted by the people of the United State: and Congress refuses to furnish the money to meet this growing deficit. If Mr. Car- lisle does his duty he will at once, today | or tomorrow, or at the earliest hour, stop the expenditure of all money where it is not fixed by law and where it is not im- perative. He ought to suspend the erection ef public buildings and all public improve- ments. The idea of going on and spend- ing at the fate of more than five millions @ month beyond our revenue is utterly in- defensible in a government like ours. The idea that we are not even willing to give our note for the payment of the money, referring to the issue of bonds, is a mon: strous one. Senators on the other side say that it is unpopular to increase the public debt. But we are increasing the public debt by owing. ‘We must decide this silver question one way or the other. If you (the democrats)can- not do it and will retire from the Senate chamber, we will fix it on this side of f chamber, and do the best we can with our silver friends who belong to us and who are blood of our blood and bone of our bone. But yours is the proper duty; and, there- fore, I beg of you, not in reproach or anger, to perform it. You have the supreme honor of being able to settle this question now: and you ought to do it. That is all that I can say.” A Recess Until Today. At the conclusion of Mr. Sherman's re- marks Senator Voorhees, at 5 o’clock,moved a recess until 10 o'clock today, but Mr. But- ler supplemented it with a motion to ad- journ, which was lost, yeas, 10; nays, 43. Mr. Stewart tried to get the recess post- poned until noon today, and so moved, his motion being lost, yeas, 12; nays, 45. Then Senator Voorhees carried ‘his point, by a vote of 46 to 5, and at 5:25 the recess was taken, without any business having been transacted, and with the journal still unap- proved. ° ‘Transfers of Real Estate.

CONSTITUTION AND RULES. If the advice of Mr. Leonidas L. Hamil- ton is followed the obstruction offered in the Senate to the repeal of the silver pur- chase law will be speedily overcome, or else the Senate will have one of the liveliest sessions that that or any other legislative body ever had. Mr. Hamilton ts a well known lawyer of Boston. He came here at the request of business men of Boston to present a memorial to the Senate in favor of repeal. This petition has already been presented. The names it bears repre- sent capital aggregating $360,000,000. Mr. Hamilton’s mission has not, however, been ended by presenting this memorial. He has come here instructed by the petitioners to aid in every manner in his power the ex- pediting of the passage of the repeal bill. Of course, the main question is just now how to overcome the obstruction in the Senate, and Mr. Hamilton has addressed himself to this matter with a view to show- ing the majority of the Senate a legal way of asserting its power. Mr. Hamilton’s method is, in brief, to make a record of the fact that every Senator who takes part in dilatory or obstructive proceedings at this time is engaged in a conspiracy to defeat legislation. When this fact 1s established he believes that if the point is made by any Senator a member of that body who rises to make dilatory or obstructive motions can lawfully be ruled out of order by the presiding officer. Mr. Hamilton, as a law- yer, bas made a special study of constitu- tional law, and he has called the attention to a few points of constitutional law bear- ing upon the rules of the Senate, and which, he says, have not yet been brought out in the discussion upon the rules. The suggestions which he makes were submitted by him in writing to Mr. Voor- hees, and at the instance of Mr. Voorhees were subsequently presented to the Vice President. The Vice President told Mr. Hamilton that as presiding officer he could not initiate a proceeding looking to a rul- ing such as Mr. Hamilton proposes, but if any Senator in the chamber raised the ques- tion he would promptly rule upon it, There- upon Mr. Hamilton drafted a letter which he sent last night to Senator Hill, hoping that that Senator would adopt the sugges- tion and undertake to bring about an issue which would render {t possible to secure a ruling from the Vice President. “Mr. Hamilton’s Pl In this letter to Senator Hill Mr. Hamil- ton explained his plan as follows: “Judge Cooley recently sent to the New York Evening Post an extra-judicial opin- fon upon the present crisis, (which was re- published yesterday in The Evening Star.) of which you have doubtless been informed, and whick I will quote briefly as follows: ‘When a minority of the members show by their conduct and even boastingly declare that they propose to avail themselves of a custom permitting unlimited debate (which the judge terms a revolutionary custom) for the express purpose of preventing the Senate exercising Its constitutional. author!- ty, by so doing professedly making use of the rules of the body for a disorderly pur- pose, the Senate is no more bound to sub- mit to their disorderly proceeding than it Would be to that of persons not members who should in any way attempt to prevent regular and legal legislatio “Permit me to add. Senator, that an emer- gency has arisen which demands the estab- lishment of a precedent. The question of the Senate's existence as a legislative body it at issue. The Senate or any of its mem- bers may champion its right of self-preser- vation by the unwritten law of every leg- islative body to exist as such. “The Senate is charged with the expres- sion of the will of the people by means of a majority vote in the enactment of law the right to that expression is transcen. dent, and needs no written law. It cannot be dethroned, except by revolutionary methods. Further obstruction is revolution, if It can be plainly shown that {ts object ig to end all attempts of the majority to legislate upon a measure objectionable to the minority. “The crisis must be met by constitutional methods. The rules of the Senate provided by the Constitution cannot annul any ex- Fress provision or even the spirit of the Constitution, either by an existing rule of the Senate or by any interpretation given to the absence of an express rule. “The object of the rules was the expedit- ing of the legislative deliberations of the Senate, and not obstruction. The exact meaning of rule XXII governing precedence of motions is clearly against obstruction. Tt reads as follows: “When a question ts pendin, shall be. received but to adjourn. Tis ule is intended to give precedence to the Pending motion to expedite business, and hot delay it. It means that the question pending must be acted upon, and nothing shall delay it but the motions following in their order. If this were not the clear meaning of the rule there would be no ne- cessity for limiting the pathway of ob- struction to tne list of privileged motions. ‘It evidently does not Imply in the list therein given’ that factious obstruction shall be permitted to interfere with the course of legislation until the Senate becomes in- operative as a legislative body. A Right to Come to a Vote. “It implies the right to come to a vote and that senatorial courtesy cannot be pro- longed to a complete surrender of the right of the majority to demand a vote. It means that unwritten Jaw shall provide for the lack of the letter and explicit provision. Its absence in words was intentional, be- he | cause to have suggested the necessity of such a provision in the written rules would have been considered, at the time of their adoption, an attack upon the integrity of the Senate. This interpretation has stood for over one hundred years and has almost without exception hitherto checked obstruc- tion. It provides the unwritten law, which is in harmony with tradition and the spirit of the Constitution ‘The absence of an ex- press rule prohibiting indefinite discussion gives no right to the minority to enter upon such discussion any more than the absence of a rule of the Senate prohibiting the vio- lation of the duty of Senators to obey the Constitution and the laws grants to them the privilege of overthrowing constitutional government and the right to defy the law. Senators who recognize the plain require- ments of the Constitution to legislate, as well as exercise reasonable deliberation, need no rule of the Senate to point out to them their duty, “The distinction between the right of free- dom of debate, granted by the Constitution, and indefinite discussion is clear. The right of freedom of debate has its limits, as free speech {s limited by license. “The declaration of rights in fundamental law does not release men from their obli- gations to society and their fellow men. Personal freedom ts limited by the rights of others in order that society and govern- ments may exist. “The right of freedom of debate granted to Senators who belong to the minority in the pending measure grants them no It- cense to escape their obligation to permit their fellow Senators who compose the ma- jority to carry out the constitutional du- tles of their office, even should the minori- ty Senators refuse to recognize their con- stitutional duty to respect the rights of the majority who are to bear the responsi- bility of the government imposed upon them as a sacred trust by the people. “The right of the minority to protest and record their votes in opposition to the will of the majority after due deliberation and freedom of discussion within reasonable bounds, fs all that a government by the people can grant without endangering the very principles upon which our government is founded. It has no more right to control, by obstructing the course of legislation than it hay the right to enact laws. The right to prevent is the equivalent of the right to enact legislation, which can not be permitted under any pretense in a repub- lcan form of government. ‘The Means Suggested. “May I be permitted, Senator, to suggest the means of bringing to a speedy conclu- sion all further obstruction, without the necessity of adopting a rule of cloture, should the latter remedy be found imprac- ticable? May it not be proved by the record that an unlawful conspiracy exists to stop the course of legislation and that the minor- The Senate Prevented From Exer-| ,,” THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. ©, WEDNESDAY.

Will the minority Senators who oppose bill agree to come to a vote upon it? If s0, when? “2.

If the answer to the third question is in the affirmative, or refused, the affirmative will be implied, and no excuse for prolong- ing the discussion can be given, which also will be proved by the record. If the answer to the fourth question is given or refused, it will only reaffirm by the record, that the plain object is revolu- tion, and the deliberate defiance of constitu- tlonal requirements. “Let this fact be proved by the record, and the imperative duty of the majority is man. ifest. The sworn duty, under the constitu- tional requirements to put into effect the provisions of constitutional government, de- mands that the presiding officer shall pre- serve the autonomy of the Senate as a leg- islative body and rule when called upon that obstruction must cease, for the reason that Senators have no right to join in an unlawful conspiracy to interfere with the course of legislation. To do so Is to be out of order.” When asked by a Star reporter today what the Senate could do if the inte-roga- tories which he proposes were put and an- swered in such a way at to establish the fact of a conspiracy, Mr. Hamilton sald: “When a Senator rose and made a dilatory or obstructive motion some Senator on the other side, would rise to a point of order and asserting that the.Senator was evident- ly engaged in a conspiracy to obstruct legislation and insist that he was out of order. Thereupon the Vice President would rule the obstructing Senator out of orde:, and the business of the Senate could pro- ceed in a regular way.” Mr. Hamilton as the representative of the Beston business men brings with him also a memorial suggesting the lines to be fol- lowed in legislation afte> the repeal bill has been passed. The President has been ap- prised of the contents of this memorial, and it will in course of time be presented to the Serate. The Boston men who sign it are opposed to any compromise whatever that makes provision for the further coinage of ver. Strong Feeling in New En; Mr. Hamitton sald that the feeling in New England on the subject of reptal is intense. ‘We have millions of dollars involved there,” said Mr. Hamilton. “The loss to the business men of Boston at this moment is impossible to calculate. ‘There ts danger of still greater losses in the future. Some of our largest establishments have enor- mous obligations that must be met. The fear of the financial future has almost para- lyzed business. Not only have merchants suffered great losses, but there {s no pros- pect of profit in the immediate future. To give an illustration of the feeling among business men let me mention one instance that is typical. I called upon a gentleman who is the leading member of a large dry goods firm, an establishment that deals in the manufactured products of New England mills, one of the largest in the city. Goods are today piled up in the house, reaching almost to the ceiling. The house carries 80 great a stock that the interest on the money Invested is a serious matter, in view of the fact that there is no profit in sight, per- haps for months to come. In addition to the losses incurred his traveling men, who have to be kept in the field, though they secure no orders, is great, andall com- bined seemed to have worked upon his nerves, When I called upon this man and spoke to him in relation to my trip to Wash- ington, as I had been requested to do by number of prominent business men, he acted almost as if Insane. He rose to feet, swung his arms wildly, walked swiftly bout his office, shouted at the top of his vioce, hurling opprobious epithets at the Senate and every one who was undertaking to encourage the obstruction of legislation in that body, which has resulted in such enormous losses not to himself only, but to the whole business of the country. It was some time before my efforts to calm him were of any avail. I gave him such hope as I could, and told him what was to be done on my visit to Washington.

The letter of the holy father was first read in the original Latin, to which prel- ates, priests, seminarians and collegtans gave their closest attention. The document Was then read in English, and to this Fe read- ing the great congregation ga ear, and being a congregation in a church Cathe- |and not an audience in another place only restrained the hearers from giving vocifer- ‘ous approval of the sentiments contained. Archbighop Corrigan’s Sermon. When Archbishop Corrigan ascended to the pulpit to preach the sermon every eye was leveled at him, so great was the de- sire to see and to know him. ‘The Serm Ps The text of the discourse was “For every high priest taken from among men is or- dained for men in the things that appertain to God.” (Epistle to the Hebrews, v:i.) ‘The archbishop said in opening: “Eminence, some twenty odd years ago your immediate predecessor in this most ancient see of the United States reached the silver jubilee of his priesthood. When asked a day or two later how he had cele- brated the event, he answered, ‘By an act of thanksgiving during my mass and by an act of contrition.’ In the same spirit your eminence would gladly have allowed the twenty-fifth anniversary of your episcopal consecration to pass unnoticed by men, and marke’ only by silent communion with the Supreme Giver of every good. But the af- fection of your devoted flock craved some public expression of thelr gratitude to God, and their holy joy on so notable an anni- versary, and they urged that if your modesty alone were consulted, they might seem not to appreciate the ties that bind them to their chief pastor, nor to honor as they ought so memorable an epoch in his life. With your accustomed gentleness, and your desire to contribute always to the hap- piness of others,sacrificing your own wishes to theirs, you have yielded to their pious tm- portunity, stipulating only, when you did me the great honor to invite me to say a few words on this occasion, that the ad- dress should be brief, and not assume the character of a panegyric.” ‘The sermon that followed was devoted to @ description of the duties falling upon a bishop of the church, who is the shepherd of his flock. The Banquet. ‘When the service was finished, the arch- bishops, bishops, monsignors and distin- guished priests entered coaches and were driven to the seminary of St. Mary of St. Sulpice, where a grand banquet was given in honor of the cardinal and his associates of the episcopate. Before the dinner the clergy of the pro- vince presented an address to his eminence, to which he made a short reply. . The Prelates Present.

Tn ‘this array of prelates Archbishop Tre- land at least divided honors with the anos- tolic delegate, Archbishop Satolli, and it fs not invidious to say that of the great number of priests present the venerable Sylvester Malone, pastor of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, Brooklyn, was the most observed. Like the other marked men his fame had preceded him. Decorations of the Cardinal’s Home. The residence of the cardinal was beautl- fully dressed for the jubilee. The leading {dea in the decorations is the representa- tions of the coats of arms of Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina, the states in which the cardinal has made his life's work. The Maryland shield is over the central bay window, while the shields of Virginia and North ‘Carolina are placed over the bay windows on each side. All the shields are surrounded with the cardinal’s colors. United States and Maryland flags and col- ors are freely used. Calvert Hall, the chief educational insti- tute of the Christian Brothers in this city, is resplendent in banners, bannerets and tableaus, aiso the schools of the sisters of charity.’ The city authorities had the route of the procession of prelates and priests thoroughly cleaned and an adequate police force regulated the entrance and exit of the people to and from the cathedral. ——___ J.
