MR. HOAR’S STATEMENT OF THE CASE Why DuPont's. Case Could Not Now Be Reopened. ped Re OS IN THE gee MATTERS HOUSE As soon as the routine business of the Senate had been disposed of today Mr: Gray (Del.) arose and sent to the desk the credentials of Richard R. Kenney, as sen- ator from Delaware, for the vacant seat now existing. The credentials were in the ustal form, and were signed by Governor Tunnell, with the seal of the state attached: Mr. Gray stated briefly that Mr. Kenney Was present and desired to be sworn in and to take his seat under these creden- tials. This was the culmination of the long contest over the vacant Delaware - seat which has agitated the state and has found frequent echoes in the Senate. Mr. Chandler (N. H.), replying to Mr. Gray's request, said no objection would be made to the swearing in of Mr. Kenney on the credentials now presented. He believed, however, that the seat should be filled by H. A. DuPont, who, in the judgment of the senator, was legally elected to the: Senate. If, however, Mr. DuPont had not been elected, then, in the judgment of Mr Chandler, the legislature which named Mr. Kenney was not legally constituted, as ils organization was attended with fraud and irregularity. These matters would be brought before the Senate at a later stage and a full hearing asked. Mr. Chandler's statement cleared away all present opposition, and brought the contest to am unexpected close. . Mr. Hoar's Statement. Mr. Hoar (Mass.) said he concurred in the view that the credentials gave Mr. Kenney a prima facie right to a seat in the Senate which could be questioned only in subsequent proceedings. ‘The senator re- viewed the DuPont contest of last year and the recent effort of Mr. DuPont to have the case reopened. Such a course, !n Mr. Hoar’s judgment, would be clearly irreg- .lar. The Senate had passed on the Du- Pont ease, and its decision was as final and binding as that of any court. It could be reviewed only on newly discovered evi- dence, or when It was apparent that error had been made. But no new evidence, no rror was brought forward, and Mr. Du- Pont’s application was simply a request a reopening of the original case, which this great constitutional court, the Senate of the United States, had already decided once. With this view of the case, the com. mittee on privileges and elections today nad decided unanimously—with one excep- tion—that nothing further was to be done in that case. It was a most unpleasant thing for him, Mr. Hoar saig, to see Mr. DuPont denied a seat in the Senate. Yet, it was of pro- found importance to the country and to the dignity of the Senate that personal de- sires should not actuate the conclusions of the It followed, if Mr. DuPont was not elected, that a vacancy existed, and Mr. Kenney now presented credentials cer- tifying his rignt to that vacant seat. His right was prima facie, and might be brought in question hereafter, but for the present it was unquestionable. Mr. Kenney Sworn In. As Mr. Hoar closed Mr. Gray moved up the middle aiste and joined. Mr. Kenney. Arm in arm they proceeded to the desk of the presiding officer, where, with uplifted hand, the new senator from Delaware took the formal oth of office. There was no vote and no opposition. Mr. Kenney was assigned a seat on the democratic side alongside Mr. Hill of New York. The new senator is one of the youngest men in the chamber. He is broad sbouldered and athletic in build, with dark brown hair and heavy mustache. He was warmly congratulated by democratic sena- ters as he took his seat. Pacific Railroads Resolutions. The Senate then turned to the Allen reso- lutions questioning the right of the execu- tive to foreclose the Pacific railroad obliga- tions, Mr. Thurston (Neb.) continuing his speech in opposition to the resolutions. Micarngua Canal Bill. Consideration of the Nicaragua canal bill was resumed at 2 o'clock. Mr. Daniel (Va.) presented a letter from Lieut. Col. Ludlow, one of the army engineers, who made a recent report on the project, questioning recent statements criticising the work of the engineers. Col. Ludlow also arraigned Lieut. Menocal, the engineer of the canal company, for alleged inaccuracies. Mr. Caffery (La.) was about to begin a speech in opposition when Mr. Daniel made an unexpected move to take up the bank- ruptey bill. Mr. Daniel was prevailed upon to with- draw the motion, however. Mr. Allen (Neb.) spoke against the canal bill, saying it was a colossal undertaking which should not be considered when the country was bond-ridden and our financial condition was deplorable. Mr. Caffery (La.) spoke in opposition to the bill. THE HOUSE. This was private bill day in the House. Before the House proceeded with the reg- ular order the reports in favor of the dem- ocratic sitting members in the contested election cases of Benoit agt. Boatner, from the fifth Loutsiana, and Hopkins agt. Ken- dall, from the tenth Kentucky, were sub- mitted. There were sixty-three private pension bills coming over from the last Friday night session which had to be disposed of before any new bills could be taken up. The first bill, to pension George L. Benner, @ teamster in the employ of the quarter- master’s department, created a_ conflict. Mr. Terry (Ark.) ‘protested vigorously against pensioning a civil employe of the vernment because he happened to be “jammed against a tree by an obstrep- erous mule.” He declared that the pension roll should be a roll of honor. The bill was voted down. The conference report on the Military Academy appropriation bill was agreed to. While the House was considering private pension bills the President sent to the House a message transmitting the infor- mation that the final report of the world’s Columbian exposition had been made, and Was now at the State Department awaiting the order of the House. On account of its bulky nature it was not sent to the | House, as is usual with such communica- tions. Among the bills passed were the follow- ing: To Emily M. Tyler, widow of Major General Erastus B. Tyler, a pension of $50 per month; Edward ©. Spofford, sergeant S5th Massacusetts, $0; Shubael Gould, 8th Vermont, $50. to increase the pension of Major General Jultus H. Stahl to $100 (reduced by an amendment to $0, the amount he is now receiving); Hans Johnson, 27th Company, $0. —e-+- APPEAL FOR FEARSON.

The New National Theater has probably never held a larger or more brilliant audi- ence than gathered within that edifice this afternoon to attend the charity concert given for the benefit of the poor of tH® city. The concert is given under the direction of Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes. The house was crowded soon after the doors were opened at 1:30 o'clock, and by the time the program was begun there was noi a seat to be had and a great many persons were standing, not only on the first floor, but on the sec- ond as well. Not only was the audience an extremely large one, even for such an event a charity concert, but It comprised nearly all of the best-known society people of the city, and the spectacle, as seen from thé stage, was one long to be remembered. The first number was the “William Tell” over- ture by the United States Marine Band, Prof. Fanctulli, director. ‘This was follow- ed by Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes in Adams’ “The Holy City,” in which her beautiful soprano voice was heard to splendid ad- vantage. After Mr. B. Frank Gebest had played Chopin's Polonaise, in A fiat, Will A. Haley's band gave Wagner's overture to “Tannhauser.” The others who participat- ed and whose numbers will come later are: Miss Marie Collins, Mr. Eduard A. Lovy, the Gridiron Quartet, consisting of Messrs. Morsell, Hoover, Kaiser and Mosher; Mr. Frank Tannahill, jr., of the “Nancy Hanks” company; Miss Grace Hamilton Jones, Miss Ada Louise Townsend, Miss Anna Boyd, alos of the “Nancy Hanks” company, and the octet from Primrese and West's min- strels, The Marine Band will play in the second part of the concert Liszt's “Second Hun- garian Rhapsody,” written especially for the band, while Haley’s Band will give as the closing number, “A Cavalry Charge,” by Louendes. ‘The patronesses of the concert are Mrs. Hearst, Mrs. Brice, Mrs. Lamont, Mrs. M.

There was an exciting accident on the Metropolitan electric railroad near 10th and F streets this morning about 10:30 o'clock. A buggy, driven by Mr. Alvin Richards, came in contect with one of the cars. The buggy was demolished, but Mr. Richards escaped almost uninjured. It was said that Mr. Richards was at- tempting to cross the tracks in front of the car so close that the motorman could not Possibly have avoided the accident. The horse escaped injury.

ONLY FRACTIONAL DECLINES RESULTED Saari Volume of Business Small and Al- most Wholly Professional. GENERAIr MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Stai NEW YORK, February 5.—Lower prices in the foreign market were duplicated in the local trading during the first hour this morning. The situation in the east had a depressing influence on the Eurovean markets, but nothing beyond fractional con- cesstons resulted from apprehension in this particular. Routine developments were not of sufficient importance to materially change market values. The volume of bus- iness was small and atmost wholly profes- sional in character. On American Sugar, however, the early weakness’ was due to liberal selling by com- mission houses. The publication of the new tariff schedule is'éxpected during the com- ing week, and today’s selling is believed to have been based on the probable rates of the new schedule. The declining move- ment was not uninterrupted, the buying on the deciine being exceptionallly good. This willingness to buy resulted in a cov- ering movement later in the day, which fully restored the early loss. The wis- dom of higher prices oa the eve of a stren- uous tariff struggle is almost generally doubted, but thus far manipulation for the decline has been premature. Some sales of Chicago Gas and Manhat- tan attracted attention, although the causes for both movements are perfectly familiar in market circles, The general dullness of the market encouraged the customary de- pressing tactics of the room, but :the larger interests were not, apparently, concerned with the current ‘tendency of prices. In the bond market the buying of Northern Pacific bonds was the feature. A well-developed plan to control the traf- fic between the eastern and western sea- boards is believed to be the Incentive to the recent acquisition of these securities. Should this surmise prove to be corre: the sale of the Union Pacific under the government lien will not be so thoroughly a matter of legal form as has been gen- erally Supposed. ‘The failures are of small importaace in themselves, but reflect in some measure the causes which deter public interest in the security market. Business interests connected with the country at large are well aware that prosperity is a possibility of the future, and not a reality. For this reason important undertakings halt. The week’s developments clearly reflect the well-heeded lessons in caution administered through the medium of a series of devas- tating panics. ae FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, The following are the opening, the highest and the lowest and the closing prices of the New York stock market today, as reported by Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exthange.
