living with the afflicted Morgner family

vote was taken and the clerk handed the
chair roll call showing 20 yeas and ii
nays. The char had been keeping tally,
as had both the gentlemen by his side,
and all three agreed on 20 to IL. Lieu
tenant Governor Kennedy tore the roll
call to pieces and declared by vote of
IL TO 16, o majority of all entitled to vote
that the motion TO adjourn was lost
whereupon the mob rushed in, and the
hall resounded with yells and cheers for
the Democratic senator's, who formed in
line and left the chamber, resuming their
caucus in the auditor OF states office.
The mob attempted to disturb further
proceedings, but the sergeant-at-arms re-
NAMED, and, assisted by others, restored
order. Then Kennedy read the rules of
the contest, and the same were adopted
and motion to reconsider lost, so as to
clineh the action, after which the senate
adjourned until the usual hour tomorrow
morning.
The affair is pronounced disgraceful by

about calling out the militia are perfectly

CoLUMpus, Jan. 26.-The situation Of
affairs in the Ohio senate is quiet this
morning. Suggestions looking to COM
promise have come from both sides, but
nothing definite has been done. Neither
party is willing to be known Us proposing
compromise. The Republicans claim
TO be firm in their position and will agret
to nothing except il includes an immediate
proceeding under the rules adopted las
evening for the disposition of the Hamil
ton county contest cases in the oper
senate. The Democratic senate i
credited with the proposition that
special committee be appointed, equal il
membership politically, for the hearing
of the contest cases. The Republican
say they will not entertain the PROPOSE

form.
The Democratic senators met in caucu

Tho deiiverance of the court of oyer
and terminer last week, that there is no
warrant in Delaware jurisprudence for
entertaining IN application for the retrial
Of capital case and that the court will
hear no more such applications, was GER
tainly not looked for by the community.
The court, in making this declaration,
plants itself Lluarely, as we understand
it, on the ground that, in the absence OF
statutory provision or special rule
Of practice to the contrary, the verdict of
Delaware jury in capital case is a
fnality, unless, as in the Neal case, over
ruled by the Supreme Court of the United
States, or, as in perhaps too many other
cases, nullifed by executive clemency.
In taking this stand the court con-
yeys the impression TINT its record
of unbroken refusal of all such
applications in the past has been suf1i-
cient to establish, as a special rule Of
practice here, that no retrials are to be
granted and TINT, therefore, the hearing
of any future applications would not only
be waste of time but unjust both to the
community and the Notwithstanding 20
raise apprehensions of miscarriage OF
justice in the one and baseless hopes
of mitigation of his fate in the
other. But, as rule of cast-iron
application, the decision of the court
sounds severe. Gases can be imagined
however unlikely that such may occur, in
which undeniably sufficient reasons, il
equity at least il not in law, for the re.
hearing of capital case may be obviou:
and yet the executive power decline to in
i terfere. The possibility of such con
: tingency raises the question whether en-
, abling legislation is needed or advisable

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 24.-The Republl-
can senators held council of war to-
night, lasting until nearly midnight, with
General Kennedy presiding. 1t was re-
solved TO stand by the programme. They
will meet, pursuant 10 adjournment, in
the morning, when none of the Demo-
Gratis are likely to be present. On re-
assembling iu the afternoon, to which
hour the rump Democratic senate also nd
| journed, and they will proceed with the
regular order, approve the journals and
at once insist on the investigation of the
four Hamilton county cases as the special
order and only thing that can he con-
sidered. As Kennedy will rule that only
16 of the Democrats can vote on this
| question, it will either be proceeded with
in open senate or the senate will again
divide.
The Republicans finally decided not To
take any short cut, but if the Democratic
senators want touse their alleged ma jority
in adjoprning the senate from day to day
to let them go. 1t is reported, how,
ever, that il any of the Democrats art
unruly again they will be arrested by til,
sheriff and that after tomorrow there
will be an effort to bring absentees il
under arrest. Both sides have arranged
for arrests and getting their men free BY
habeas corpus.
The Senate committee of the Demo
cratic caucus has been in session all even

torneys, and they agreed upon no de6nit,

Revolutionary Proceedings OF the |
Republicans Ia the Ohio State |
senate In order 20 obtain Oontrol
OF That Body.
A Columbus, Ohio, special to the Phil
ndelphia Press, dated Friday, says;
The senate chamber was the scene of o
disgiaceful row that day. Lieutenant-gov-
ernor Kennedy, the presiding officer, is
Republican, and there are seventeen Re
publican senators and twenty Democratic
senators. The pending question was on
the contest of four Of the Democratic
senators from Hamilton county, and the
issue was on the ruling of Kennedy that
the four could not vote on questions in
volying the investigation into their title
to seats. This would leave the senate
stand seventeen Republicans to. sixteen
Democrats.
AS the Democrats had organized the
senate with the aid of the four sena-
tors from Cincinnati, who held Dan
Dalton's certificates of election, they had
so constituted the committee on privi-
leges and elections that it would not pro-
coed with the contested cases, and had for
three weeks retarded all investigation re-
latibg thereto. After the long delay it
was moved to discharge the committee
and hear the contests of the four pending
cases in open senate, and it was carried
by vote of II to IS, or rather by vote
Of IL to 0, as the Democrats refused to
vote when the chair held that the Cincin-
natl senators could not vote on their own
cases.
The last dilatory movement of the
Democrats, after the motion discharging
the committee was carried, was TO demand
q call of the Senate, and when all the
members had answered to their names
the chair declared that, the object having
been secured, further proceedings under
the call would be dispensed with and the
clerk should note that previously certain
senators who responded had been present
and refused to vote. Then followed q
scene of tumult, the lobby taking as
much part as the senators. Finally, O
senator on the Republican side moved Ia
adjourn, and the motion was put and car.
ried on viva voce vote. Lieutenant.
Governor Kennedy accordingly declared
the senate adjourned until Saturday
morning.
He had no sooner left the chair thar

A Strong Plea for the Proposed Inter
national ExpOsitlOns,


Referring editorially to the proposed
celebrations of 1899 and 1892, the
Baltimore Sun says this morning:
"There is a sense of fitness In choosing
Washington as the place for both Being
the National Capital, all the most imposing
buildings required for the transaction of its
affairs aud the enactment of laws for the
people are congregated there. 1t has
broad, well-paved avenues, well adapted to
celebrate the anniversary of the Consttu-
ton on scale commensurate with the dig
nifty and wealth and population OF the
United States. The presidents of fifteen
Spanish-Amercan Republics, who are to be
invited to assist ut the celebration, would
be received as guests of the Nation with all
the honors due TO their exalted position
and in u manner to testify to them aud to
the people whom they represent the
friendship and community OF interests that
exist between them and the United
States. If 1t were only to draw closer the
bonds between ourselves and the republl-
can States to the south of us 1t would be
an excellent thing. The Constitution of the
United States, with its delegation of power
to the central government, and Its reserva-
lion Of all other rights to the States, at the
date of the celebration will have withstood
for century the buiretings OF faction, and
has up to this time been a strong barrier
against the efforts that have occasionally
been made to weaken the local autonomy
Of the States. 1t has been initiated In
part, and with more or less success, by
the fifteen republics to whose chief execu-
tives 1t is proposed to extend invita-
tions. An international exposition
at the Federal Capital in 1892,
under the auspices Of the Government, in
honoring Columbus would do no less honor
to our sister southern republics, whose peo.
pie were the first to conquer and colonize
the new land he had discovered. All roads
and nearly all waterways lead to Washing
ton. II is becoming q winter resort to
numbers of wealthy people. To it are con-
tinually coming multitude OF those who
have affairs with the Government, suitors
to Congress, and visitors from abroad and
from every State In the Union. 1t has ad-
mirable grounds upon which the exposition
buildings could be placed to advantage,
and there is every reason to believe that,
backed as 1t would be by the resources of
the Government, the exposition would sur
pass anything of the kind heretofore at
tempted.

CAME DowN FROM LEBANON

As came down from Lebanon,
Came winding, wandering slowly down
Through mountain passes bleak and bro Hn,
The cloudless day was we'll nigh done.
The city, like an opal set
In emerald, showed each mnaret
Afre with radiant beams of sun,
And glstened orange fig and lime,
Where song-hlrds made melodious chime,
As came down from Lebanon.
As cane down from Ieban m,
Like lava, IN the dying glow,
Through olive orchards far below,
! saw the murmuring river run;
And meath the wall. within the sand,
Swart sheiks from distant samarcand,
with precious spices they had won.
Lay long and laDguldly in wait
TIL they might pass the guarded gate,
As came down from Lebanon,
AS came down from Lebanon,
] saw strange men from lands afar
In mosque and square and gay bazaar
The Magi that the Moslem shun,
And gave effendi from Stambou
Who sherbet slipped In corners cool;
And from the balconies o'errun
With roses CLEANED the eyes OF those
Who dwell In still seragllos,
As | came down from Lebanon.
As came down from Lebanon,
The flaming flower of daytime died,
And Night, arrayed AS Is bride
OF some great king In garments spun
OF purple and the finest gold
OutblOomed In glorles manifold,
Until the moon, above the dun
And darkening desert, void OF shade,
shone like keen Damascus blade,
As ! came down from Lebanon.
