Especial to the SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, May 3.-Henry George OF
California, the author of Progress and
Poverty" lectured at Chickering Hall last
night on the " The Next Grand Struggle"
He was introduced by F. B. Thurber, OF
the National Anti-Monopoly League. In
the course of his remarks Mr.. George said:
~ measure my words, after looking at
many things and thinking of many things,
and it is my opinion that, as it stands to-
day, this great American experiment of q
free government is a failure. Men Of New
York, do you govern yourselves? 1t is
merely q question Of who will be your
boss. Even Judges sit at the Judicial
bench who buy their places. Has not
Brooklyn a boss? Look at Philadelphia;
for years and years she has been pros
trated at the feet Of a boss. The same is
true Of Baltimore and San Francisco. 1t
is not the problem Of municipal govern
ment we have to solve, but Of republican
government"
senator Farley Urges an Executive
Session..
VhonANtlONs hdy os-4A VIC ocuuto
yesterday, Senator Farley, in moving for
an executive session, said that politicians
were pouring in daily from the Pacific
Coast for action on the Chinese treaties.
Farley proposed to the Republicans that
they hold an executive session especially
for the consideration Of the Chinese trea-
ties, and after that they could resume the
fight just where they stayed. The Repub-
licans, however, voted solidly against an
executive session, including Senator Mil
Ter Of California. Senator Farley said
that in one of the papers he had observed
that he had been charged with retarding
the consideration of the Chinese treaty.
The record Of the Senate contradicted that
statement. For many weeks the Demo-
cratic Senators had daily invited the Re-
publicans to go into executive session.
Eight hundred or one thousand Cinnamon
were arriving semi monthly at San Fran
cisco. A ship-load OF Cinnamon arrived
with smallpox on board, and is to-day
lying at quarantine in the Harbor of San
Francisco, and the people Of California
were protesting against this neglect on the
part Of the Senate, for which neglect the
Republican party is responsible.
An Agreement Reached.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The committee OF
seven Senators appointed by the Republi-
can caucus last week to prepare a plan Of
action in regard to the contemplated hold
ing Of an executive session, reached an
agreement yesterday, which will be re-
ported to the caucus this morning. They
will recommend executive sessions to be
held forthwith for the transaction Of bust
ness in the following order First, to re-
fer to appropriate committees all nomina-
tiens now OF the table. Second, to take
up for final action the various treaties
which now await ratification, and in the
next place to consider all uncontested
nominations already reported from the
Senate committees The term "uncon-
tested, as used by the committee, is in.
tended to include every nomination which
is not objected to by mi Republican Sena-
tor from the State to which il belongs.
The report will not take the ground that
no other nomination should be considered
during the present session, but merely
that the programme Of business should be
restricted in this for the present,
or until other action Ii determined upon
by the caucus.
Meeting OF Republican Senators.
WAsH1YGroN, May S.-The Republican
Senators met In caucus this morning to re.
ceive the report Of their committee. A
discussion ensued which had not been
completed when the hour for the as.
sembling .of the Senate arrived, and the
caucus adjourned to meet again this after

morning. The discussion is understood to
have been confined mainly to the question

present.
sitting Bull VIII Not Surrender.
BISMARCK ID. IT,, May ga special
dispatch from Fort Buford says that posi-
tive information has been received Of Sit
ting Bull. He is now 40 miles from that
place. He will not surrender. It is
learned also from Poplar Greek that ennis
saries from Sitting Bull induced several
young bucks to leave the agency and Join
him. Sitting Bull refuses to surrender
because he believes the Government wants
him to complete the list when all Indian
chiefs will be hung. He told Captain Nc
Donald, Of the Canadian Mounted Police,
on the Goth Of April, that he would never
surrender.
Reversed.
WASHINGTON, May 81 The Supreme
Court to-day, in the murder case Of Neal
against the State OF Delaware, decided the
question whether it Is ground for appeal
from the decision Of the Court because col
ored men were excluded from the jury
which indict or try q colored man. The
Court holds that since there was improper
exclusion of colored men on account Of their
race from the juries by which Neal was in
dicted and tried, the State Court erred in
refusing to quash the indictment and and
panel Of jurors. Its Judgment is, there
fore, reversed and cause remanded with di-
r~ections to set aside the verdict, which was
the death penalty, as well as the order de-
nying motives to quash the indictment and
panels of Jurors and for such proceedings
| upon a further hearing Of these motions as
Is consistent with the opinions Of this Court.
Justice Field dissented.
