4 REMARKARLE SCENE IN THE SENATE or
THE TNTTRn STATES.
WASHINGTON. May 9.-The following
was telegraphed to the New York sun
last night: Senator Hoar, while great
" concerned over the Boston collector
ship, has managed TO keep his temper
until yesterday. 1t was noticed from
the galleries that he approached Sen
ator Rollins, became very red in the
face. shook his fist vigorously in the
air, and seemed 70 he uttering in most
emphatic language that which Mr..
Rollins did not regard as gentlemanly.
1t now appears that Senator Rollins re-
CARDS Mr.. Hoar's conduct on the floor
of the senate as SO insulting rs 10 re-
quire n personal apology before he can
resume even the relations of an ac-
quaintance with him. The circum-
stances, rs learned from unquestioned
authority, are these: Senator Rollins,
WHO DESIRED To LEAVE TOWN
temporarily, during debate yester-
day, said III IN undertone to Mr.. Hoar.
whose seat is near, "When are you go
ing to call up that matter"
"Dld you address me sir?" said Mr..
Hoar stelnly.
Il did" Mr.. Rollins replied.
"What matter do you refer tor
"Why, the Boston collcctorship, of
course" said Mr.. Rollins.
"What business is that of yours
What business have you to be intrud-
ing in matter that does not concern
you? asked Hoar.
"Well, have a VOTE" replied Rol-
lins, "and would like to give il ut the
time the matter comes up"
Hoar then arose from his seat and
went over To Rollins and burst out into
such uncomfortable passion as aston
ished Rollins.
Said he ~ want you to understand
that we don't propose TO be trifed with
III this matter. Iregard this nomina-
tion rs Il personal insult, an Infamous
outrage, and want TO inform you that
we may send men up to Concord next
year to take hold of the election up
there" OF course, this had reference
to Rollins approaching canvass for his
return 10 the senate Mr.. Rollins said,
quietly:
ION gel excited, senator. shall be
very glad to see Massachusetts men in
Concord, because they always vote
right
Thercupon Hoar's passion became
almost uncomfortable Shaking his fist
in the air, he said:
81 do not propose to be jested with
on this subject. II ID Il very serious
matter with me. ! want you To un-
derstand that we have marked all the
men who have put the president mp to
committing this Infamous outrage. II
is an outrage upon the people of Mas.
saehusetts. 1t is personal insult to
me, and those who stand by the p1esi-
dent are marked by us for future treat
ment"
By this time several senators had
gathered around Hoar and Rollins,
and one or two whispered in Hoar's
ear that he was making scene.
Thereupon Mr.. Hoar quieted down
and returned to his seat. Senators
who heard tho conversation regard it
as one of the most remarkable and in
sulting spectacles that has taken place
on the open floor Of the senate for u
long time.

HE MAKES A DECISION BASED ON A STAT
UTE REPEALED IN 1866.
WASHINGTON, May ct is amaz-
ingly strange that we cannot get an
attorney general for the United States
who is possessed of legal abilities above
a common police lawyer or corpora
ton shyster,' said statesman this
morning.
What is the matter now?" asked the
reporter.
why, sir: We have asked the attor-
ney general for certain information
and he has replied in such way as to
convince me that what Il prominent,
and, might say. one of the most pro
found, attorneys in this district said
the other day was true of Mr..
Brewster"
"And what was that?"
"It was that Mr.. Brewster was
IGNORANT OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCE
Piles OF LAW.
That he knew no law save Pennsylva-
MIA corporation law; that he was igno-
rant of the law as it exists in the re-
vised statutes of the United States. He
said that he had occasion few days
ago to call on Mr.. Brewster in regard
to matter in which he was interested
and to demonstrate with him about a
decision he had made. Mr. Brewster
sat in his office
WITH RuFFLEp SHIRT BOSOM
and ruff es around his wristbands, and
received him very cavalierly. The
lawyer said he laid his case before Mr.
Brewster, who spluttered around fol
awhile and said
Il am right. 1t j. the law Of the
land"
''Where, asked the lawyer, is it TO be
found?"
'In the revised statutes"
"Let's see it?"
Mr. Brewster turned To the revision
Of 1878 to read the section referl ed to,
but it was not there. Whereupon the
lawyer showed the attorney genera,
that that statute
HAD BEEN REPEALED IN 1866.
So, you see, that the attorney general
of the United States was depriving a
citizen of his rights because he was
ignorant of the law. ! tell you is nc

The employment of asylum lunatics
at farm and household labor has prov
ed to have a beneficial effect upon
them; to induce more reasonable
mood of thought and action, less bois-
terousness and more good sleep. In
many English asyiums restraint is
abolished, and sixty per cent. Of the
inmates are employed in some useful
occupation. 1t has even been found
better not to lock doors and bar win
dows, as the presence of such safe
guards operates as an excitant upon
the minds of lunatics. During the
last fifty years wonderful changes have
been made in the treatment Of insane
persons, all in the direction OF more
human care and less brutality. There
is just as much room for improven, ant
in the methods of treating criminals
and paupers, and fifty years more will
probably bring about great changes for
the better in their management.-Dr.

Withdrawn at her demand, Mr.. Glad
stone was waiting to grant her almost
any reasonable concessions. The
crisis has now come. There can be
no more temporarizing, no more dalli-
ance Coercion, violence, and
martial law, will all be useless.
What has to be done has to be done
quickly and must be wholly radical in
its nature. Mr.. Parnen may place
himself at the head of the only move
ment which can now close the war.
Every sentiment of justice and patriot
ism calls on him to take the lead and
show how Ireland can gain such of her
ends as are reasonable.

R LEAGUE MANIFESTO.
LONDON, May S.-The following man.
ifesto of the Land League was adopted
this afternoon at hurriedly summoned
meeting at Westminster Palace Hotel:
To the People Of Ireland:
On the eve of what seemed bright future for
our country, that evil destiny which has appar-
homes another blow which cannot be exaggerated
in its disastrous consequences. la this hour Of
sorrogful gloom snture to give expression to
our profoundest sympathy with the people of Ire
land in the calamity that has befallen our cause
through this horrible deed and with those who
determined, at the last hour, that the policy of
Cancellation should supplant that of terrorism and
national dstrust. We earnestly hope that the
attitude and action of the Irish people will show
to the world that an assassination, such as has
startled us almost to abandon hope for
our country's future is deeply and rehg-
iously abhorent to their every feeling and
instinct We appeal to you to show
by every manner of expression that amidst the
prevailing feeling of horror which the assassina-
ton has excited no people feel so deep detesta-
tion of its atrocity SO deep sympathy with
those whose hearts must be scared by IL, as the
nation upon whose prosperity and reviying hopes
it may entail consequences more ruiu0ns than
those that have fallen to the lot of unhappy Ire
land during the present generation. We feel
that no act that has ever been perpetTated in our
countrp during the exciting struggles of the past
Ireland as this cowardly and unprovoked assas-
the murders of CayendiSh and Burke are brought
to justice that the stain will sully our country's
name.
