many respects to "Divorce." The play
which has been much liked In other cities,

REGULATING IMMIGRATION.
SENATOR UONKLIha,s Speech.
He Will Rise Above Party In the
Present Crisis.

From the N. Y. Sun of yesterday.
WARRINGTON, Jan. An presenting the
petition Of the New York merchants and
bankers on the political crisis in the Senate
to-day, Mr.. Conkling said:
/ have been requested to present q petition,
weighty by reason of the subject to which
it relates, and by reason also of the number
and character Of those who signit. The Pc
titioners are citizens of New York, distin-
guished not only for their prominence Is
members of society, but for the large and
varied interests they represent. They are
men prominent in each of the political par
ties of the country. I observe among the
signatures names which at the recent Presi-
dental election were found on opposite
electoral tickets. observe the names of
eminent bankers, merchants, manufacturers,
shipowners, scholars, professional men, and
other names long and honorably associated
with leading enterprises and indust' les. It
would be difficult to select in any State of
the Union $50 individuals and firms who
represent greater sum Of property, intelli-
gence and character, or who, as petitioners,
deserve more consideration. The petition is
brief and will read it.
Mr.. Conkling then read the petition, and
continued:
In laying this petition before the Senate
1t may not be amiss to add an svowal of
my sympathy with It's appeal for orderly,
lawful, and patriotic action. In executing
The Constitution in any instance, and espe-
cially In an instance so grave 90 the one
referred to, partisan feeling as guide and
rule of action can rightfully have no place.
Obedience to law, observance of the Consti-
;ution, and the maintenance of truth 10 not

party and above party. Parties may con-
end, and believe it is wholesome In free
Government that parties should contend,
