The Upper House of the Buckeye Legisla- tive Body in a Bellicose State, REPUBLICANS HOLD THE FORT. Differences Between the Democratic Majority and the Presiding Officer Remain Unsettled — Lively Scene Yesterday. Bitter Factional Feeling. Corvanrs, O., Jan. 25,—~The republican senate convened at 10 this morning with eleven members present and the democrats absent as well as the clerk, President Ken- nedy directed the reading of the journal of Saturday, after which nothing was done for want of 4 quorum. The president retained the chair waiting for the arrival of the demo- cratic members, Itis expected this will be the programme till 4 o'clock, the hour for hich the democratic senate adjourned on Friday. A good sized lobby was present, everyihing was quiet and the best of feel- ing prevailed. There seems to be no definite plan for the afternoon senate and nothing is being done by the republicans except to hold the fort, The president is still in the chair and will remain there till ¢ when the democrats come in and then there will, no doubt, be at once a conflict of authority. The majority has agreed on & gene line of action that 10 business be transacted until an under- standing is reached as to the powers and dif- ferences between the democratic majority and the presiding officer. The democrats wiil probably make an effort to secure the ap- mént of a - committee to de- mine these things, while the republicans — and the president will msist upon the order of business defined in the minority report of the committee on priv- ileges and eiections, which is to proceed at once to the consideration of the Hamilton county contest cases in open senate, The democrats by tii Tk and under the rule which have been adopted will in all pi bilito be able to defeat the programme of the republicans by declari adjow nment and absenting thems L This will destre the quorum. The feeling betyeen the f tions is much more bitter than this mornin. "here may be some demonstrations of a phy sical character this evening though the cooler heads on both are counselling against this and it is hardly probable that there will b disgracefil scenes, Some of the demoeratic senators who were out of the ecity over Sunday have been arriving on the forenoon trains, and it is believed that they were all here at noon, he Hamilton county democratic senators, wlio came in at that hour, were accompanied by John F. Follett and others of that county:. A caucus will be held before the hour of con- vening, and a committee will be appointed to have charge of the conduct of proceedings for the democratic senate, ‘The republican members hiad continued in session from 10 a. m., and it was the inten- tion to have adjourned at 4 p. m., unless the democrats put in an appearance. As the ter hour approached and it had been learned that a mojority or the members would be there on time, the senate chamber filled up rapidly. Half an hour before the time for the oint meeting, all the available space had een appropriated. -There was plenty of fun and any number who were ready to fight at a moment’'s warning, The sergeant-at-arms took advantage of thé situation before the arrival of the democratic members to clear the floors and xomrvl the spectators to €0 oufside the " railing. As a majority of the members filed in they were greeted with applause by the republicans, who appar- ently construed their presence tobe an ad- mission of defeat, The sergeant-at-arms soon quieted the dem- onstration, and taetics of the afternoon were proceeded with. - The call of showed all of the member A present, and a motion to dispense with fur- ther proceedings under the call would not be entertained by the chair, he holding that the call had been exhausted by the presence of all the members, Over an liour was spent in discussing an appeal from his decision, ‘which s afterward withdrawn, and the chair allowed a motion to dis- pense with further proceedings to be voted upon, ‘There was 1o apparent point 10 be gained either way in a contest over tl i motion.

Pavey yielded the floor to Cable (dem.) for a quesiion of privilege, and the member was proveeding to state his question and making a democratic caucns resolution a part of the same, but the chair held that nothing was in order pt rules in the contest cases, and also decided that Pavey was entitled to the floor. The democrats’ being unable to get their resolu- tion before the senate, a final motion was made to adjourn, and a demand was made by the democrats that the clerk proceed with the of the roll. he president at first endeavored to drown the voice of the clerk with the gavel, but finally became quiet and the roll was called through, twenty-six members voting for ad- journment. ‘The democratic members rose from their seats and out, while the clerk handed the roll call to the president to be announced. ‘Fhat official tore it in sepa rate pieces and threw it on the floor, while the crowd surged in from the railings and the greatest confusion and demonstrations pre- vailed. The clerks all left their places, and as soon as partial order could be restored, the president \»l'ocm*dml to read the rules himself whichi had been offered by Pavey. With one of the senators at the clerk’s desk, the republican minority voted on the rules, and they were declared adopted. In results the senate proceedings stand about where they did this morning.

WASRINGTON, Jan, 24.—At a recent meet- ing of the committee on labor of the house of representitives statements were made that the spirit of the eight-hour law was being openly - violated, ignored or evaded in certain of the government departments, and Chairman O°'Neill was empowered to present to the house a resolution of inquiry to the various secretaries, asking in direct terms whether the law was being entorced by them. Pending the introduction of the resolution, Mr. O'Nefll sought an audience with tie "president, which was granted yesterday, and lasted over an hour. On the matter_of the eight-hour law the president said: “I belieye that law is a sound one and a good one, and that it should be en- forced to_the letter. 1 have no information regarding instances of its violation or eva- sion, but it such instances are presented to me [ will see that the abuse is remedicd and the full spirit of the law is enforeed, which, I unaerstand, to be to pay workmen in the gov ernment eniploy for eight hours of work dauily what is_paid ‘outside of the government eniploy for a full day's work. e govern- ment cannot afford to'set an example of non- enforcement and non-observance of its own enactiments.” The president further said: 1 appreciate the effect upon mechanic ountry of the constantly increasing use of = labor- saving inery, and I can think of no nore relief for the unemployved surplus of labor than the occupation by it of public lands, T do not hesitate to say that I am heartily in favor of any feasible plan for the encouragement and assistance of the rospective American settlers upon the_ pub ic domain by the general government.”" In this connect the president expressed some very radical views upon the subject of the occupation of vast tracts of public lands by foreign capitalists, The president seemed desirous of impressing upon O'Neill his will- ingness to heartily co-operate with congress inany efforts it may make to clevate the working class and improve the social condi- tion of the bread-winners s il = FRUITS OF THE STORM Terrible Fatalities from Colorado Snow Slides.
