New York’s Lieutenant Governor Com- plains of Being Unjustly Assailed. Just before the gavel fell in the New York senate yesterday Lieut. Gov. Sheehan ad- dressed the senate as follows: “By the indulgence of the senate and through its courtesy, I desire to make a short statement. “Since the beginning of this session, it seems to have been the settled policy of some correspondents representing certain New York journals to misrepresent, pervert the truth and to deliberately lie with refer- ence to your presiding officer.* He has, with: out complaint, submitted to these calumnie: believing that personal rancor and dislike would soon disappear before the apparent injustice and cowardice of the attacks. But the height of these calumnies was reacned this morning, when, for the purpose of ip- fluencing and prejudicing the minds of ren- ators, certain of these papers published sensational and baseless charges connected with certain proposed Buffalo legislation, in- sinuating in a most cowardly and contempt- ible manner that he was attempting improp- erly to influence senators on this question. “What remedy has a public man against such acts? “There are many honorable exceptions to this rule, among them the representatives | of gome of New York's leading journals, ard the rural papers as well, and I want to pay publicly my respect to those honorable re- porters who record in their journals the pro- ceedings of this body impartially and truthfully. “Finally I want to characterize, in the strongest possible manner, as indecent, false and venomous all these articles which charge me directly or indirectly with having in any improper manner attempted to in- fluence or prejudice the judgment of sena- tors or members on this or any other sub- ject.” Senator O'Connor Joins Shec When Mr. Sheehan finished there was silence for a moment, and then Senator O'Connor arose and said: “I agree with what the president has said, and it also seems thaf senators upon this floor might make the same complaint. I remember that the chairman of the clection investigation | committee had Iiberties taken with his name | and also with those of his collggues. I agsert and think the time has come for this senate to assert its own dignity. There are none of us who object to honest criticism. | I object to the stiletto of the assassin; I/ object to the qwardiy sneak who has no basis for the charges he makes. How much are we going to submit to? Are we going to permit men who are on this floor by the courtesy of this body to insult its ‘presidiag } officer and impugn the motives of our col- | leagues? Are we so cowardly as not to bring these correspondents to a sense of the decen | cles they owe the public? I believe the ume has come for members of this body to assert themselves. I care nothing for the criticism of the public press, except so far as it Is honestly exercised. I have no objection to every act of my public or private life being , submitted to the fullest investigation, but I want no correspondent to deal in aspersions upon the character of any officer of this body or any senator of this house. I move this matter be referred to the judiciary com- mittee, with. power to take such action in the premises that it thinks meet and fit, and | to advise some way to protect the members of this body from attacks of this kind.” Senator O'Sullivan said that he spoke for | Senator Cantor, who was unable to tal, and who was charged with staying away to hamper proceedings in the senate. The moon of Senator O'Connor was adopted. In the afternoon, at the hearing before the senate judiciary committee, Lieut. Gov. Sheehan appeared to give his reasons for at-| tacking the newspaper pte He ‘said that in his ten years’ °xperience this was the first time he hgd ever had occasion to criti- cise openly the newspaper press. He had ro objection to the criticism of his actions: he but he aid even welcomed such ¢ jcism, object to the impugning of hi: the motives of senators on th then read the headlines of articles in certain New York papers, deciaring thet money was Ha be used by him to defeat the Buffalo bills. “If.” he continued, ‘the charges are true, my pface is not here before this committee but before a court of impeachment. I have ; no quarrel with the newspaper men, but! they seem to have a serious quarrel wit! me. tacks did not take place, but I do de2m that the time has come for me to protett my | reputation, a reputation T have strnwgled and striven for. It is time for the senate to make an example of the people who for- mulate these charges without any basis.”” Senator O'Connor asked if the lieutenant governor had any idea as to how the com- mittee should proceed. The Heutenant gov- ernor said: “I believe senate should in- vestigate these charges and find out from where they originally came, and if they are true.” “I move,” said Mt. Lexlow, “that the com- mittee present to the senate tomorrow a resolution allowing thts committee to inves- tigate all phases of this question.” ‘The resolution avas unanimously adop‘ed. An explosion occurred at a small arms testing factory at Liege, Belgium, fester- day. The director of the factory was killed and several persons were injured. ‘|and laid the foundations for the Ferry I will live just as long as ff these at-i A GREAT CHANGE A-Man Who Once Was Prominent in Publio Life NOW LIVING ALMOST A RECLUSE Incidents in the Life of Ex-Senator Ferny. FINANCIAL DISASTERS Special Correspondence of the Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 10. Living with a widowed sister in an old- fashioned white house near the raiJroad in Grand Haven, one of the deadest and quiet- est towns in all Michigan, is a man whose name was once a household word from the Atlantic to the Pacific; whose fame was more than national; whose every action was watched with ‘interest by the entire world. Once popular, powerful and famous, he has fallen into a seclusion and retire- ment almost that of a hermit, and the path to the portals of the house in which his father lived before him, which was once ‘worn deep with the feet of those who came from afar to see him, is now scarcely dis- tinguishable from the surrounding ground. This man is ex-Senator Thomas W. Ferry. Broken in health and spirits, sick at heart for hopes deferred, ang«mbitions unsatis- fied, and with scant fortunes to live on, he is a wreck of his former self. It is rarely that he is seen in public, and it has been long since anybody stopped over night in the run-down and worn-out old town to see him. In conventions his face and figure and voice would once arouse the wildest applause and enthusiasm, while now he would not be recognized by one in ten in any assembly of the party which he for- merly led, and all this has been the work of a dozen brief years. Mis Karly History. Mr. Ferry was born in Michigan. His father was a Presbyterian missionary, and in early days befgre Michigan had become a state he went to Mackinac Island to labor among the Indians. He built ag | Mission House, which every visitor to the fairy island must have seen, and which still stands substantially as he left it. In this house Thomas W. Ferry was born in June, 1827, long before the island had be- come famous as a summer resort. The northern climate disagreed with the mis- sionary’s health, and early in the 30's he moved up the lake to Grand Haven, at the mouth of Grand river, then a promising lake port. There he resumed his pastoral duties, and on the side became inter- ested in mercantile entetprises and lumber- ing. The dominie was a shrewd old fellow, fortunes, which popular rumor fifteen years ago placed among the millions, The ex- Senator was educated in the public schools d early acquired a fondness for public lifef He was elected supervisor and then to the state legislature. He served in the house six years, and in the state senate one term. He was Michigan's candidate | for Vice President in the national conven- tion in 1860, He was four times elected to | Congress from this district, and twice elect- ed United States Senator. As a supervisor he made a study of parliamentary law, and in the legislature, state senate and in Con- gress he perfected himself in the practice | !and became a master of the science. In the Senate he was ever ready on any question, and $pon the death of Vice Pres-| ident®Wilson, as President pro tem. of the. Senate, he presided over the deliberations | of that body. He was the presiding officer | during’ the exiting time of the Tilden-| Hayes contest and ascribes the present wrecked condition of his nerves to the! sleepless nights and intense strain which fell to his share at that time. He thinks he saved the country from a renewal of hostilities, and still preserves, framed and | kept sacred, the pen which he used in sign- jing the documeny which gave .the presl- | dency to Hayes. His Downfall. Mr. Fezry’s downfall came in 1883. He} was a candidate for re-election for a thira | term, Jay A.‘Hubbell, some of whose upper | peninsula> schemes Ferry had antagonized | in the Senate, was bitterly opposed to his! | re-election and led the fight against him. | | Other influential republicans: in the state were also opposed to him, and the oppo: | tlon united to kill him off. The republican had eighty-one members on joint ballot, and | it required sixty-seven to elect. Senator C. | B. Stockbzidge, then a private citizen, was{ the leader of the Ferry forces, and so con-} fident was‘ he of victory that he offered to| bet $1,000 to $10 that Ferry would be elected. Rice A. Beal, a great power in those days, was Stockb-iage’s chief Heutenant, and Ed. | P. Ferry, the Senator's brother, was also ‘on hand. The republicans called a caucus | and forty-six of the eizhty-one members signed the call, and six more agreed to sign it, while nineteen issued a manifesto! that they would not go into any caucus o-| be bound by caucus rules unless it should be agreed that sixty-seven votes would be! Fequired to elect. ‘The nineteen resolute | bolters remained steadfast, and when the balloting began, Ferry was able to com- mand sixty-two votes, but neither thzeats | | Ror bribes were sufficient to swell his tally | sheet. The balloting began on January 16, and continued until March 14. In all, | eighty-one ballots were taken. The end of | the fight came on the evening of March 1, when on the fifth ballot the Ferry fo>ces j began to weaken and scatter; and before | morning Thomas W. Palmer had been | elected amid scenes of the wildest confu- sion and excitement. Financial Embarrassment. In the early part of the contest rumors | were set afloat affecting Mr. Ferry’s finan- cial affairs, He was reputed to be im-| |mensely wealthy and the reports were that | {he was bankrupt. As the contest became hotter the rumors became thicker and more | authentic, and before the last ballot had | | been taken the sheriff was in possession of | | the Ferry mills at Grand Haven and Mon- | tague. Senator Ferry returned to Washing- | | ton, but soon left that city for Canada andj thence sailed for Europe, leaving his | brother, Ed. P. Ferry, at home to face the | music. The music proved to be fast and| furious. The entire estate was found to! be in the wildest confusion and assets far | beiow the liabilities. For several years the courts were full of the Ferry ‘litigation and some branches of it are still pending. Among the creditors were several rien prominent in Washington life. Banking cn | his high position and his reputed wealth, Ferry had made heavy drafts upon his friends, apd creditors rose up in every |quarter. Ferry was in Europe four or tive | years. and when he returned he was a | ¢hanged man, with nearly all the old-time |vizor in his voice and manner gone. He figured in the first Harrison campaign as a stump speaker, but could no longer arouse |any enthusiasm. In this campaign he met |the enemy who had led the fight against s re-election for the first time since that contest, and the writer was present at the interview. For an instant Ferry looked at Hubbell and Hubbell appeared not to re-| cognize him, and then Fery stepped for- ward with hand outstretched. Hubbell took the proffered hand, they chatted for a few and then parted. They have met tions and at party rallies since and Ferry seems to have forgotten and for- given the past. Hix Brother Broke Down, When Ferry went to Europe his brother looked after affairs here. He gradually worked order out of tne confusion, but it as a tremendous undertaking. He finally | settled up with most of the creditors, but the terms of the settlement were never given to the public. When he wound up the affeirs in this part of the country as nearly as possible he went to Utah, where he was interested in a silver mining com- pany and the profits from the mine were poured into the lumber failure hole end help&d to satisfy the creditors. The other stockholders in the mine did not like Ferry's management and voted him out of otfice. He went into other mining ventures and two years ago went to Washington to engage in lumbering. When last heard of he was in a private asylum for the in- sane near San Francisco, receiving treat- ment. Thomas W. Ferry, who was largely responsible for the wreck, is at his old home in Grand Haven in almost total cb- scurity. Another brother, Wm. Ferry, is in Utah, and under Cleveland’s first ministration was warmly indorsed for the United States marshalship. COMMONS COMPROMSE. Gladstone Yields om the Employers’ Liability Bil. ‘The British house of commons thronged yésterday, in anticipation of important movement against the house of lords. The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Wil- liam Vernon Harcourt, replying to a ques- tion put by the Right Hon. George Gos- chen, ex-chancellor of the exchequer, said that there was no intention of reopening the Indian’ mints ‘or of returning to the minimum rate for council bills. ‘There was also no intention, he added, to place a tax on the importation of silver, and, word, no change in the présent Indian pol- icy was contemplated. A Compromise Amendmen Mr. Henry Payton Cobb, member for the Rugby division of Warwickshire, pro- posed, as a Compromise amendment to the employers’ Uability bili, that any existing agreement between workmen and their em- Ployers should be excluded from the bill for three yéars. Mr. Henry Asquith, the home secretary, accepted the amendment. The Right Hon. A. J. Balfour said that the conservatives would resist to the ut- most the iliusory pretense of a compromise. | He was ci in that the house of iords amendment would be accepted by an over- whelming majority. Mr. Samuel Woods, member for one of the Lancashire divisions and a representa- tive of labor, on behaif of 360,00) miners opposed the compromise, dwyiaring that the miners preferred that the bill be deferred, as public opinion would soon force it through the house in its original form. Mr. John Burns, one of the members for Battersea, said that he regretted that the government had accepted a compromise, as if it had adhered to the original bili the lords must have yielded. Mr. Burns then warned the leaders of the opposition that if the lords rejected the bill the trades unionists, numbering joined by 4,500,000 members of friendly societies. Continuing, Mr. Burns remarked that if the government st™ck to the bill their ma- jority at the next election would be in- creased to 150. This statement was re- ceived with opposition cheers. Lords’ Amendments A; to. The house, by a vote of 210 to 1 then adopted Mr. Henry Asquith's motion to omit from the bill the house of lords amend- ment, requiring that ciaims must be taken from insurance funtis to which the em- | ployers have contributed one-third and in- volving an appeal to the law where the funds were not sufficient to meet the claims and the employers declined to cover the de- ficiency. i ‘The house adopted M Cobb's amend- ment by a vote of 2 and the.lords" amendments, as amended, were agreed to. The house then adjourned until Thursd. The unexpected smallness of the Giad- stone majority is explained by the fact that twenty Irish nationalists were absent and unpaired, and that several liberals voted against the government as a protest against any concessions being granted to the peers. In the house of lords the parish councils bill was read for the third time. —— +04 ——-—_ ALLEGIANCE TO McKINLEY. ae Meeting of the Ohio League of R: Hican Clubs.

The strip of laad should be condemned for the public use. 1 venture the assertion that there is not a man that drives, whether for pleasure or business, past the nuisance, that does not wonder why the Commissioners do not step up tq the mark and do their duty. Only last evening a fine span of horses escaped by the hair of their tails from destruction be- tween two cable cars. Let the nuisance be stopped at once by condemning the land— it is not improved—and give a free passage on both sides of the car lines. While about it the Commissioners might order two men and one cart to fill up the holes some of their own employes left just where the car-tracks stop and Park street begins—it may cost $10, but that is in excess rather than under the estimate of cost. If you will please suggest that the $10 might be got out of the money given to help the poor—give them some work to do; lend them some tools and wheelbarrows.
