LEY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBuNE.I


WASHINGTON, April 28.-The Senate nduged it.
self in another short season of war "reminiscences
to-day Senator Sherman made very short speech,
declaring ii to be his intention to vote for the re-
peal of Section 1918 Revised Statutes, forbiddng
the appointment of ex-rebels to the Army, and of
the test oath. At the same time he warmly asserted
his belief that these were wise measures and had
served a wise purpose. The treatment OF thc
rebels at the close of the war was liberal beyond
any example to be found in history. The prohibi-
tive legislation referred to was necessary but the
period of its usefulness now past and 1t might
well be taken out of the statute books He ap-
pealed to the Democrats to allow the whole matter
TO be referred to the Judiciary Committee the
pending measure having come from the Military
Committee), where several measures of like ma
ture had already been sent in order that the whole
subject might be considered at once.
Senator Beck made q pointed assault upon the
judiciary Committee because of its failure during
former sessions TO report back to the Senate bills
providing for the repeal of the "War legislation"
so-calcd.
This brought Senator Edmunds to his feet in de-
fence of his committee, in which, rs was to be ex-
pected he was abundantly successful. He said
there had never been time since the Senator from
Kentucky came into the Senate that he I'D
mundsJ was not ready, as one member of the Ju-
dietary Committee, to report upon the general ques-
tions referred to it. There had been Democratic
Judiciary Committee at one time and
he remembered that the Senator from
kentucky had hailed its advent with an expression
that they would now have Judiciary Committee
that would report such good measures as he had fa-
vored He (Edmundsl as a member Of the minority
had waited in patience for the majority TO act, and
had even suggested that the minority report on the
subject and put into definite form exactly what the
Democratic party wanted to do. And yet the meas
ures had not been reported because as he Thought,
the wise Democratic members of the Judiciary Com,
mittee saw that if the logic of the bills proposed
by the Senator from Kentucky was followed out,
il would be necessary 10 say-now that the war was
over and we were ali brothers-that, if the property
of Jefferson Davis was destroyed in the course OF
the war; as the property of loyal citizen was, lie
ought to be paid for it, He had heard that doctrine
stated from Democratic lips in the Senate. For
seven hundred long days this Democratic majority
of the Judiciary Committee had failed TO take the
first one of the steps recommended by the Senator
from Kentucky, because they didn't exactly

HANGING OF DIR. LAMSON.

THE CONDEMNED MAN BREAKS DOWN ON THE WAY
TO THE GALLows-THE FINAL SCENE.
LONDON, April 2S.-The hanging Of DIR. Lamson.
for the murder of his brother-in-law Percy Malcolm
John, student at the Benhem House School at
Wimbledon, by poisoning him, took place at 8
o'clock this morning in the Jail at Wandsworth.
Only three reporters were present at the hanging.
The procession entered the yard of the prison at
S55 o'clock, when the prison bell was tolling the
death knel. The chaplain headed the procession
He was followed by two prison officials with their
wands. The prisoner, who until the time of start
ing had been calm and composed, looked pale and
detected and was very nervous He was supported
by warders on either side and was with difficulty
able TO descend the steps to the yard. lie was met
by MelwOod, the executioner at the foot of the
steps. The prisoner bareheaded The opera
tion of piniOning him seemed interminabe. He
submitted without word and hardly seemed to
appreciate what was going From the steps
there was distance of about sixty yards to
traverse to the gallows Lamson supported
with difficulty from this point to the scaffold. He
swayed backward and forward and stared wildly
around him when placed under the moose The
chaplain, who appeared to be much affected, then

tremc despair. Death was instantaneous. The
drop was nine feet. The chaplain remained by the
gallows repeating the Lords Prayer. The body re-
manned hanging for one hour.
At the formal inquest the surgeon who made the
examination testified that he had been properly ex
ecutcd His neck was not dislocated and his fea
lures wore placid expression. With the exception
of slight red mark around the neck there was
nothing to indicate a violent death. The jury gave
a verdict in accordance with the evidence.
The Lancet says 1t utterly fails to perceive
particle of evidence demonstrating the insanity OF
Dr. Lamson. The NeWs believes that If DR.. LaInson
had been reprieved the ground of insanity it

and narcotics had weakened their physical and

large crowd of the lower orders gathered ont
side the Wandsworth jail early in the morning to
witness the hoisting of the black flag. The fact
that the flag staff was not erected until after dark
yesterday caused some to think that reprleye
would be granted at the last moment, on account of
the occurrence of the royal marriage. The chaplain
OF the jail visited DR.. Lams0n at z o'clock thus
morning and engaged in prayer with him. The
condemned man wore his ordinary dress, not the
garb of a convict. lie partook of good breakfast

FRAUDS IN THE FRUIT TRADE.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

BosToN, April 2S.-Ihe Journal exposes ex-
tensive frauds in the fruit trade heavily laden
with oranges and lemons have arrived from Palermo,
Messna and other ports at the rate of two or hree
week. This fruit has been consigned to large dealers
here to sell commission. The notable increase in this
trade and the low rates which the fruit appeared on
the invoices finally attracted the attention OF the Gus
toms authorities in Boston They began investiga-
tOn which las resulted In several merchants OF Palermo
and Messna refundDg thousands OF dollars TO Collector
Beard. on investigation il found that invoice
represented about half the actual value of the fruit and
the Government entitled TO double the amount OF
duties The Investigation here has led to similar dis

CHALMERS CLEARING OUT HIS DESK.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The debate on the
Lynch-Chalmers case to-day was of no great popu-
lar interest being confined in the main to the legal
questions involved. Mr.. Hooker, of Mississippi,
made rather ford if not torrd speech in defence
of the Mississippi PLAN" Messrs. Tucker and
Carlisle presented strong legal arguments designed
to show that while Lynch might probably have re-
ceived majority of the votes actually cast there
were technical faults sufficient to defeat him.
Mr. Robson made an eloquent and convincing
speech in behalf of Lynch's title to the seat. 1t
was devoted mainly to the discussion of general
principles and their application to this case, and
was one of the best speeches of the session. ,
General Chalmers appears TO have abandoned
hope, for he was busy this afternoon clearing out
his desk and packing up his books and papers lie
did not look very happy

PASSAGE OF TIE CHINESE BILL.

n
usUvcroy April 2S-The Chinese bill has
., heen nassed by both houses of Congress, but 1T
;1 have to 90 back to the House of Representa-
,;,,es for concurrence in the amendments made by
ba Senate These are unimportant. The measure
n in all important particulars similar to the vetoed
iii evccnt in respect to the length of time within
which Chinese may not come, which Is ten years IN
stead of twenty in the vetoed bil The fourteenth
and fifteenth sections retained the hrst proho-
ti,c Chinese naturalization by State Courts or other
,rihnnals. and the second declaring that the word
nlohorersv shall be construed to mean skilled and
uoskled laborcrs and miners. The latter sectioh
xas stricken out in Committee of the Whole two or
,hree days ago. but was restored by vote of 20 to
20 in the Senate to-day. These sections seem de-
nyned In spirit of mischief, and no good can result
from them.
II was shown by Senator Edmunds to-day that
The courts could not now confer citizenshlp upon
Individuals of any Asiatic race without especial af-
6rnative sanction by the legislative and executive
branches of the Government. and that no precedent
,xisted for declaring armativey thatindividuals OF
INV certain race should not be admitted to citizen
,hi, He proposed as a substitute provision that
,oth,g in the hill should be construed to authorize
The comforting of citizenship upon the Chlnese.
This was lost by vote of 80 to 10. In respect to
Tho fifteenth amendment it shown that the
treaty only authorized the exclusion OF Chinese la
borers and that the attempt to put an mterpreta-
lion upon the treaty like that proposed was SUD-
ect to the objection that it exceeded the limits OF
,nr rights under the treaty. The Interpretation of
the treaty should be left TO the courts All propo-
,itions to amend this section were voted down.
The Democrats, with the exception OF Senator
Brown, of Georgia, supported tho most extreme
yiews of the Pacific Coast Senator'S oy their
meeches and their votes Their purpose in this
course has been from the beginning to make polltl
sal capital on the Pacific Coast. in which they
ihey will rejoice if it is signed they will point to
he fact that they party supported 1t through
divided. and followed their individual preferences.
The eech-makng upon the bill to-day was com
monpace and was confined to the Democratic side
of the Chamber.
