WASHINGTON, Jan. N--The res
olution now before the senate, ex-
presaed the indignation Of the senate
a. the blowing up of certain build
ings in England because. forsooth,
they were buildings In which the
Laws OF Eugland were made-laws
which guaranteed liberty to the sub
jects of ureat Britain. That reason
vas MT sufficient, to Riddlsberger.
He could not, he said, be expected to
approve oil the methods Of the Irish
people,, but while I'VE ourselves are
preparing and experimenting with
dynamite tn blow vessels out of water
and to drown people in the ocean, it
scarcely becomes us to cay that =
people who did not constitute gov
eminent. and could not make q
proclamation of war, should not
use the same instruments Of
war that we woulduse under the
mescircumstancez. Put any of Us
In q country where we could not ex-
ercise the God given right OF owning
foot of land, even though earned
with the swta. Of our faces, and
then see what methods we would
employ. He did not mean;to justify
the method. but he, would not vote
Tor any fesoinf onttat' smight be dis
tortsd into an expression Of SYM
pathy or even common fellowship
with a. country that knows nothing
but cruelty and gives none of her
subjects the exercise of that liberty
that we, on this side of the Atlantic,
believed to belong to- every
people. Only q short time
ago both houses Of congress
heard of a judicial opinion rendered
= over yonderp furnishing some Irish
man In which the judge violated
every principle of common law. every
principle Of the bill of rights, every
principle of their magma charter,
every principle of the constitution in
determining question of fact for the
jury. Had any expression of tndig-
nation been heard Ia the senate No.
IF an ;Eng glish judge having an Irish
man on trial could say to the jury
these are the facts" without elicit
ing any expression of indignation on
the part of the U nited States senate,
he (Rlddenberger) must beg to be
excused from expressing sympathy
for the blowing up Of building In
which laws were made that were
administered by such judges. 1--WE
are 40 neutral here" he continued,
that some. senators think we ought
not to dig q ditch. (alluding to the
Nicaragua canal) without the consent
of EDgland: so neutral We could not
give an opinion about anything re-
Qarding England except an adverse
opinion about poor, struggling Ire
land" Although. Ireland's natural
increase, Riddlebereer continued,
had been equal to that Of England,
there were not, by nearly two mil
lions, as many people In Ireland tc-
day as twenty-four years ago, Such
was the result Of oppression. Any
resolution that might be passed here
would be construed as q resolution Of
sympathy and fellowship with gov
ernment of :, cruelty and tyranny.
The resolution before the senate he
regarded as q mere expression of SYM
pathy with the British government
and he would not vote for 1t.

were approaching Poughkeepsie when the

out from the depot and got under way we

and catching the breeze gained on u.s. and
then like white-winged doves skimming
the surface Of some fairy lake, they flew
over the CLASSY surface and by US with
lightning speed, and for moment or so
we imagined our train had stopped, or was

we darted, and away flew the boats, now
and then rounding up" or crossing TO the
the other side, then back, and away as be-
fore, until the smooth surface some twenty
miles in length, was gone over, where they
turned aud left us, To continue the race
back with some fast trains going north.
