Replying to Mr.. Edmunds.

Mr.. PUGH'S SPEECH IN THE SENATE THIS
AFTERNOON.
At 2 p. m. the Edmunds report and resolu-
lions, together with the minority report of the
judiciary committee, were laid before the
Senate, and Mr.. Pugh took the floor to reply to
Mr.. Edmunds. At the outset he accused MIR.
Edmunds of being cratic in his argument; of
being mariner who does not follow charts, but
follows his own peculiar course and who is ready
to lead a mutiny. Ntzhugh, then read the orders
suspendtng Duskin, the appointment of Bar
nett, and the law bearing upon suspensions.
He maintained that the resolution calling for
papers in this case manifested a purpose to
revise or review the act OF suspension ITSELF and
he read from the report of the majority to sus-
tain this position. 1t was a demand tor private
papers relating exclusively to the suspension,
Tor the purpose of enabling the Senate to decide
whether or not the President had acted properly
in suspending that official.
Senator Pugh continuing his remarks de-
clared that Mr.. Edmunds had raised q direct
question OF Veracity with the President upon
matter OF facts entirely within the knowledge
OF the President. He showed that the
resolution OF the Judiciary committee adopted
when Senator Thurman was chairman, calling
for papers, in case of suspension, related to a
territorial court, and that the tenure OF office
act especially excerpts judicial officers from
those TO be suspended by the President.
The galleries were again crowded, and the
people listened to the speech to the end.

A letter accompanying the bill from Chief

bureau TOR statistics it has no concern with. He
says further that the present organization
causes much unnecessary labor aud inconven-
fence; also that the functions and responsible.
ties of the chief are not understood: that the
position requires great labor and investigation

THE STORY WHICH SHOCKED AND AROUSED
EVANGELIST SAN JONES


After reading the requests Tor prayer AT the
meeting In Farwell hall, at Chicago, yes-
terday, the Rev. sam Jones said he had
received a letter Gated Ia a city OF y 900 in
habitants ia sister state which showed
a depravity ia that place that It Was hard To

women were confined In "a stockade there Md

without Inoicst~iiion. II was also stated In this
letter that some OIL the women had homes in
the nelghoorhooi. and THAI tuCy were not al.
lowed To return 10 their friends. The letter
closed with a request Tor the prayers OF all

Commissioner Edm0nds' Plan.

A PROJECT FOR MAKING GRAND PARK,
WHICH HE COMMENDS TO HIS SUCCESSOR.
District CommissioDo Edmonds stated to a
STAR reporter that he looked forward to the
termination of his commissionership with
pleasure, as he anticipated relief and rest. In
hastily reviewing his official course he did not
see much that he would change. He might
have made mistakes, but was conscious Of
having good motives in his acts.
The public Improvements which had been
made in part under his administration, he
thought, compared favorably with any which
had been made heretofore, and had he been re-
tanned in his place it was his purpose to have
devised for magnificent park and avenue, ex-
tending from the foot Of the Capitol west TO the
river front, taking in the Smithsonian, Agri-
cultural and monument grounds, and from B
north to b street south. He contemplated SUBJ
hitting bill to Congress providing Tor the cost
of opening this avenue. This enterprise, which
the whole country would commend, would
have to be LETT for his successor in office, and he
had no doubt 1t would be done. Some ad-
vances had already been made looking towards
the procurement of private ground, which will
be necessary to obtain in order to carry out
this project.

persons named were assigned to useful
