Proceedings of Congress Car
Isls.ThOsbs Contest Disposed of.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-In the Sen
ate to-day Mr.. Hoar presented the pc
tition oi the Governor Of Massachusetts,
the Mayofof Boston, presidents Of col
leges and large number Of other dis
tinguiohed persOns representing a mRss
meeting held in fremont Temple on the
18th Of November last, to welcome the
British peace deputatiOn. He stated that
this British dsputation represented ms.
jority Che belisvsd) Of this members oIthe
British Parliament, and s large number
OF p sOnn Of rank and Influence and dis
tinction In that country.
Mr.. Frye called up the motion 10 refer
to the Committee on Finance the Presi-
dent's annual message and proceed 10 dis.
cuss the messsge IN which he said the
President had clearly thrown down the
gauntlet Of free trade. There Was an at
tempt, he admitted, at disguise, but so
feeble that II ought not deceive anyone.
That message had been received vita un-
bounded 10y In Great Britain, and why
not? England had been seeking the
American market for years With per-
sistency which never tagged, courage
which never failed, a faith never hope
less, although for quarter OF century
she has seen her agGresaions met by
strong deisnses. Bat now the President
OF the United States declared
that these delensss were to
be erased. The British press had
at once proceeded to self congratulations
and to strip of mercilessly tho Presidents
disguise. These congratulations, he said,
would have continued II voice OF warn
ing had not bssn heard, The warning
was that such English expression OF OPT
MON hsd 10 be Curbsd, or the full iruition
OF English hopes never would bo enjoyed.
He quoted from the Pail lfdA GG:ette to
that effect, and said that stimmediately there
had been q transformation. The trade
papers oil Great Britain had dropped, at
once, their self congratulations and had
proceeded to congratulate the United
States and to prOphesy unbounded pros
perity for this country. Great Britain
had seemed suddenly to recognize the fact
that this country was her daughter, and
to evinCe to her friendship and affection.
He declared emphaticslly that England
had never, in one single instance, evinCed
any sympathy for this country, and that
they never had permitted an opportunity

HOW THE NEWS WAS TAKEN IN WALL-sT
REGRET AT Mr.. BLAINEs wITHDRAwAL-TAL
WITH TUF BROKRRs.

The Stock Exchange greeted the action OF the Con-
vention with cheers and Immediately began 10 guess
who would be the next Vce-Presdent The he-
publican members would not admit the possiDlhty
Of the defeat Of the Ticket although many expressed
regret that they could not show their hdel
fly TO Mr. Blaine The usual comment In wall Street
was a regret that Mr.. Blaine should insist upon With
drawa of his name, and confidence that the nomi-
nee would surely be elected.
At the Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Exchange,
the interest in the news from Chicago almost over
Swallowed ali concern about the markets. Mr..
Blaines nomina alton had been generally looked Tor,
and when prices Of stocks declined the announce
ment of the Conventions choice 1t was looked upon as
a reflection of disappointment. Some of tho brokers
turned the speculative change into handle for Jokes
and Republicans twitted Democratic friends with
having loaded up' in expectation OF a Republican
boom" Never mind prices now said one broker,
laughingly ~ have been living beer and sand
witches for several years and I'm going 10 vote the
Republican ticket whatever It U.s. and live better the
next four years" When the seventh ballot was
posted up at the telegraph Offices In the oil department
It was generally conceded that Harrison would get
the first place The announcement Of the final result
was greeted with cheer, and while the friendship
felt for the other candidates prevented exuberan en-
thusasm the defeat OF favortes, there was quiet
comment among Republicans that the ticket meant
growing strength and final victory.
John Jay Knox, president Of the National Bank OF
the Republic and formerly Controller OF the Currency
under Sherman, said: 81 have known Harrison for
many years and i know that he will make a good
President He Will poll the full Republican vote,
and have no doubt that he Will be elected. think
Sherman deserved the nomination by his loAg service
but am that Ohio Will not pay any attention to
the disregard of its wishes"
George f. Baker, president Of the First National
Bank, said that he had been somewhat disappointed
but that he believed Mr. Harrison would DO elected
Vice President Garland remarked: at was good
nomination or 1t would never have been made. sher-
might have been a stronger candidate, but every
body wanted Mr.. Blaine, and If somebody had not
given the secret away think that Dir. Blaine would
have been pamed.s
Harvey Fisk said that everybody was pleased win
the nomination. Mr.. Harrison is clean man. ho

WHAT COLONEL INGERsoLL MEANT.

DOG-FENNEL" DEMOCRATS
The expression used by Colonel Ineersor in his
speech last week at Chicago in which he characterized
the Democratic candidates Dogfennel candidates.
has been misunderstood by many persons Some DEM
ocratic papers have denounced Colonel Ingcrsou
violently for using such expression, exclaimlng that
dog-fennc' was, like skunk-cabbage, a poisonous
and offensive weed and that the term was coarse
and vulgar, as applied to the candidates Of a great
party
James X. Magie for many years Editor Of " The
Canton Register" Canton, Ill, says that the Dem
ocratlc comments on this expression msiudged
and incorrect The expression in this way
When the Knights Of the Golden Circle the Copper
head organization which during the days Of the
did all that I'm its power to embarass and obstruct
the work Of saving the Union, at the height OF its
activity its members met in fields In and around sundry
Villages where the weed dog fenne grow In profsIon.
The Republicans and Democrats IN the region near
Peoria and Canton Characterized the members Of this
COpperhead organization Dog fennel rangers" and
this became well-known term for them in that part
Of the country. Mr.. Magic feels, doubt, that this
Characterization In Colonel IngeSOlls mind and
that he meant TO characterize the Democratic ticket
very properly a COpperhcad ticket, and not specially
as a skunk-cabbage, or poisonous weed Ticket

A reporter visited yesterday number of German
business political and social centres TO learn how the

talked with some bankers, importers, lawyers and
politicians II Is an interesting coincidence that about
two-thIrds of tho men seen prefaced their remarks
with the expression: lie VIII MAKE STRONG cshdl

THE FEELING IN BROOKLYN.
REPUBLICANS AGREE THAT TIE TICKET Is
STRONG ONE.

STRONG ONE.
There was only opinion among Brooklyn Re
pubIlcans about the nomination, and TINT was that
the ticket was a strong one and would get the solid
Republican support. Here some Of their ideas
about the ticket:
General James McLeer: Harrison will win. Plain
Ben Harrison the soldier ard statesman, will surely
be elected. His record for patriotism and ability is
brilliant one, and in tie West where he lives he is
beloved by everybody"
Assessor Small, prominent Republican, said: 81
think that the ticket IS of the strongest that could
have been nominated. 1t will destroy any factional
feeling in Kings County. We are bound to win with
this ticket"
John Cox, prominent contractor II like it. We
can surely elect him. We will all take of coats
and work for his success"
Ex-Fire Marshal a. b. Thorn: 1t Is a ticket that
we can sweep the country with It will gain strength
each day"
Ex-t nited States Marshal S. C. Tate: I am glad
that we have nominated General Harrison. lie Is
good candidate, brilliant man and strong friend
Of the soldiers"
Alderman Henry A. Smith: The nomination is
great one. Now the question IS whether the Demo-
cratic members Of the Grand Army will vote for the
man who went 20 the front whether they Will vote
for Grover Cleveland. who stayed at home and hired
some one do his fighting for him.
Ex-Assemblyman COmstOck: " General Harrison Ia

MANAGER HILL CHARGED WITH ADDING TO THE
TELEGRAM WITHOUT AUTHORITY

president OF the Board Of Aldermen, and In faultess
attire, Margaret Mather again sat in the witness
chair In the Supreme Court, Special Term, before
Justice Ingraham yesterday, whore her suit for the
rnnulment Of her contract with Manager J. NJ Hill
was on trial. Ex.Judge A. j. Dittenhoefer, her coun-
sell interposed judicious objections when questions
that seemed to him improper were asked, and Miss
Mather each case waited patiently until the Judge
had decided whether the objection was well taken
before attempting TO answer.
She said that Mr.. Hill had overharged her for
furniture purchased for her mothers house in Buffalo,
but when his attention called to the matter he
rectihed the error. In regard to the telegram sent
to Manager W. r. Hayden Of the Lyceum Theatre, In
reply to his offer Of an engagement, Miss Mather
said that while In Philadelphia In March, 1887 she
received the offer She was standing the stage
in the wings waiting to perform Mr.. Hin said he
would answer it with her permission, and innedi-
ately wrote:
You are mistaken Ny pleasan. and profitable con-
tract with Mr.. Hill does not expire until 1893
