The execuiive sion continued from 12:30 until 3 o'clock Considerable time was spent in contention over the effort to secure a time for a vote and it was only after decided controversy that the opponents of ratification agreed to a date for voting on the amen iments. They based their opposition on the fact that there were a good many absentees whom hey considered it de=trable to have in the Senate when the vote shou'd be taken. The understanding as to the vote on the amendments was reached on a plan out- lined by Senator Hoar. It provides that the general discussion cn amendments shall continue until 2 o'clock on Wednesiay of next \.cek, when a vote is to be taken on those which may be pending at that time; that, in case any of the amendmen agreel to, the treaty 3 amende] shall be rrinted and returned to the Senate and shail SUI be open to ame but that the final vote on amendm 4 o'clock the following da ‘The main debate of the ¢ Chilton amendment providing ting all agreements for arbii under the treaty to the Seaa- | proval before entering upen a cou: tlement.

Senator Lodge made a strong the treaty without further amendm said that while alwa the principle of ar the first cont would render American put He feit satisfi that the modifications mad had accomplished completely and that the document as amerded was one that would command itself to every sup- porter of peaceable methods for the ad- Justment of disputes and to every friend of humanity. He thought no other amend- ments were necessary. He also held that ine committee amendments would in effect require the submission of all agreements under the treaty to the Senate. a, he im _commi is purpos>, Senators Davis and Hear made brief speeches, practically taking the same ground. It was apparent during the ses- sion that the friends of the treaty hold t the committee amendments will accomplish though in more diplomatic phraseology, the end sought to be attained by the Chilton amendment. Several senators, among them Messrs. Thurston and Spooner, asked if this were the case why it should not be explicitly stated, as In the Chilton provision. They advanced the idea that the adoption of this language migh: have the effect of preventing future misunderstandings ere ARGUED BE FORE JUDGE KEITH, Trying to Settle the Police Board Con- troversy im Alexandria. ning Star. RICHMOND, Va., March 24, 1897. A hearing took place today before Judge Keith of the supreme court of appeals in the controversy between the mayor and board of police commissioners of Alexan dria, Judge Keith having been requested to act as an arbitrator in the matter. Mr. A. W. Armstrong argued the case on behalf of the police commissioners, while Mr. Samuel J. Brent, the corporation coun- sel, looked after the interests of the may The conference, which was of a strictiy private nature, lasted two hours, and tho: present, when seen on the subject aft ward, said that Judge Keith would render his decision in a few days. The questions presented for the cons eration of Judge Keith arose under cc tain acts of the general assembly, amend ing the charter of the city of Alexand. and involving the management and contro of the police department of that city Prior to the acts of ISM8-04 the department was under the control management of the city council. The licemen were elected by that body ever two years, and, by an act passed in IS% the mayor was authorized to suspend or remove any police officer for misconduct in office or neglect of duty, and, the event of removal of police oificer, Le was directed to communicate the facts, with hi: sons to the city council without . that the vacancy might be filled. 1 in the event of the suspension of a polic officer, he was not required to make : such report. During the session of 1803-04 the ch: of the city was so amended as to lish a board for the government and man- agement of the police force. In the argument before Judge Keith this morning his honor’s attention was called to the ciarters of the cities of Lynchburg an Norfolk, which aithorize the mayor of each city to suspend*any policeman from office until the board of commissioners convene and take act‘cn in the matter. ‘The authority vested in the mayor of the city cf Alexandria is therefore different from that of thg mayor of the other two cities, and coungel for the mayor conzended that if the legislature had deemed it proper to take away from the mayor of the city of Alexandria the power of suspension vested in him by the act of 189) until the police board had convened and taken action in the matter it would have said so in clear and distinct terms, as it did in the charters of Lynchburg and Norfelk. An intent to change an existing law should fully appear and statutes shall not be so construed as to interfere with rights previously granted by the legislature until the intent to do so was clear. It is claimed by counsel for the mayor that the section of the act which Judge Keith is asked to construe invests but one power, that of removal, in the board of Police commissioners, while the power of suspension is exclusively vested in the may- or, who is the chairman of the board and has charge of the police force for the pres- ervation of peace, the enforcement of the laws and the good order of the city. 1f the mayer could suspend for cne day and then have his act of suspension reversed by the board, his authority would amount to noth- ing. His action, however, is authorized by the legislature and therefore cannot be re- versed by the board of police commission- ers. Judge Keith's decision will probably be rendered this week. ——— THE CABINET HIS GUES' Civil Service Commissioner Rice En- tertains Them. ‘The members of the cabinet, the secre- tary to the President, Mr. John .Addison Porter, and Messrs. John R. Procter and John B. Harlow, civil service commission- ers,were the guests at dinner Tuesday ever- ing of Mr. Wm. G. Rice of the civil service commission. But for the debate in the Senate yesterday there would be no ques- tion as to the object of the social courtesy shown by Mr. Rice to his guests. The criticisms brought out at the Capitol, with- out other knowledge, would give color of truth to the report that went about today that the-dinner was arranged to give op- portunity to taik over appointments, with a view to having personal assurances that the commission will be supported in the execution of the civil service law. It there- fore makes the little social event a little les interesting than it might otherwise have been to learn that Mr. Rice invited his guests the Sth and 9th of March, a fortnight before the Serate debate occur- red. Secretary Gage, who is a candid and earnest civil service reformer, accepted the invitation on the 10th of March, the others with the following two or three days. The object was whoily a social one, to bring about a better acquaintance between the commissioners and the members of the cabinet, with whom they are constantly in correspondence on official matters. It is quite possibly a fact that literature, art and science were not the only topics of conversation, and that now and then be- tween the courses a word or two about the civil service law and system came in by way of variety. —- 2 —__—_ “Want” ads. in The Star pay because they bring answers.
