Senate. ----e-.a.4--
WASHINGTON, Aug. Sin the senate
Mr. Allison reported back the house adj
jourment resolution with an amendment
changing the time from July % to Aug. 4.
Mr. Hoar expressed his dissent to the pas
sage of this or any other adjournment reso-
luton until the senate had considered the
bill reported by him from the judiciary CON-
mittee on April 10, for "inquests under ma
tional authority. He referred to the mas
sacres during the last few years III louisiana,
South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and
other Southern states, and stated that in
every one of these cases, so far as was shown
to the people of the North by the press. a
negro and Republican was the victim and a
nnu0orat end . white man the aggreSsor.
Mr Kenna protested against the speech made
by Hoar, and Mr.. SALISBURY expressed
his surprise that the massachusetts
senator should depart from all legislative
propriety and stir up virulent sectional
discussion. Mr.. Eustis of Louisiana defended
his state. Peace, quiet and contentment pre-
vailed among all classes. Mr.. George was
ready to discuss the bill if no particular day
was fixed for adjournment. Mr.. Dawes stood
by Hoar's position. Mr.. Gibson declared
that the Massachusetts mans action had

coming from the Arctic region into an atmos-
phere of genial warmth. cheered by sunny
and generous patriotism. 1t was all indict-
ment against the entire population, from the
Potomac to the Rio Grande. 1t was an apple
of discord thrown into the senate in the
closing hours of the session. As to his own
state he bore testimony to the peace and
quiet that prevailed there, while on the con-
trary the country had seen the peace of
society stirred to its lowest depths in the
city Of Chicago and in the territory adjacent
to it. There they had heard the murmurings
of deep discomfort, threatening the entire
framework of society itself, the very origin
on which the title to property rests. And yet
in the presence of such disorders threatening
all the clements of society the senator from
Massachusetts turned aside and directed his
attention to the southern section where peace
and quiet prevailed. where the relations be-
tween capital and labor were undiSturbed,
where there was not strike, not tumult,
not a disorder, and where life and property
were protected under the laws. Mr.. Hoar,
liz answer to criticisms on him by Senators
Kenna and Salisbury for precipitating this
subject on the senate without notice or warn
ing, traced the several steps by which the bill
had been reported from the judiciary COM
mittee, had been indicated by the Republican
caucus as one of the important measures to
be pressed at the present session, and had
been mentioned by himself on various recent
occasions as u matter which he would ask to
have considered before final adjournment
Mr. George asked him whether it was his pur-
pose to ask the senate to take up the bill now
in an orderly way. Mr.. HOar replied that of
course it was, and suggested that, under the
explanation which he had just made the
senators from West Virginia and Delaware
would withdraw their criticisms. Mr. Kcnna
said that so far as the senator's declaration
of a purpose to have the bill considered was
concerned, he
HAD NO ISSUE WITH him.
but he could not see any cause or preteXt for
the senator's speech, when he knew that his
bill could not be and would not be consisered.
Mr. Hoar went on to defend the bill. What
was there in it that was to stir UP sectional
strife, or that was an Indictment against a
whole people? 1t simply provided that if three
citizens Of the United States Inhabitants of
any district) should under oath declare to a
court that there had been homicide or other
serious offense against life Or property (by
reason of race or POLITICS. the judge should,
th9reupon, do what is done in the case of
every coroner S inquest throughout the land,
inquire into the facts and report them to the
attorney general and to congress. Why
should such a bill be described as an indict-
ment against whole people? II included the
North as well as the South. 1t defended the
Chinaman as well as the negro. 1t defended
Democrat in Vermont as well as the Repub-
lican in Louisiana. Was an American citizen
to be safer in Mexico than in Mississippi?
Was the Mexican flax to give more safety to
American citizens than the stars and stripes?
Mr. Riddleberger denounced the bill.
