A HOT TINE IN A SENATE.
THE PRESIDING OFFICER CHARGED
WITH UNFAIRNESS.

A Republican Demanded That His
Appeal from the Decision Of the
Chair Be Put, and the Presiding Off
Ger Refused to Oblige Him The
President Pro Tenn. Leaves in Dis
gust.
ALBANY, n. Y, April 1s.-On point of
order in the Senate this evening there oc-
Cured one of the most exciting scenes ever
witnessed in the chamber. Mr.. Erwin ire
publican) of st. Lawrence, in very heated
manner shouted that an appeal by him
against the presidents decision should
be put; that the majority
did not allow the president to
bulldoze them and that he would stand
where he was as long as there was breath
in his body, and compel the president to
entertain his appeal By this time all the
senators were on their feet, the democrats
calling Mr.. Erwin to order, and the other
side backing his appeal
RAPs FOR ORDER IN VAIN
The president raped in vain for order,
and it was some minutes before the con-
fusion was ended. Then Mr.. Erwin again
demanded that the president put his appeal,
and the president onca more positively re-
fused to do 50.
"Then we won't go on with business, ex-
claimed Mr.. Erwin.
He finally quieted down, however, and
took his seat.
Mr. Raines, republican, moved the re-
commitment of the New York City Rapid
Transit bill to the committee on railr Dads
and called for the ayes and noes.
Mr.. Erwin then again jumped up and
asked what had become OF his appeal. He
persisted in keeping the floor, and insisted
on being recognized, indignantly accusing
the president of unfairness and gross viola
tion of the rules.
FASSETT EMITS FIRE.
Then Mr.. Fassett. the republican presi-
dent pro tempore of the Senate, expressed
his opinion of the presidents action, saying
on behalf of the majority, duly
elected to the Senate by the people
of the state, he wished to enter
a decided protest against the arbitrary
and high-handed ruling of the chair He
said further that he would refuse to sit in
the Senate chamber under presiding Off
Ger who could be guilty of suca an arrant
breach of all rules of parliamentary pro-
cedure. Mr.. Fassett then left the Senate
chamber and the Senate adjourned.

AN ENGLISH ORATOR.
Pen Picture of Sir Charles Russell-His
Method OF Speaking.


From, the Netc York Times.
Sir Charles Russell himself Is not a
specially impressive personality outside of
the court room, where he seems nothing
more than tall, quiet, serious elderly gen
tleman; but once he is attired in his wig
and gown he becomes a veritable eighteenth
century type of vigor. breadth and power.
Americans can picture him almost perfectly
TO their minds eye by imagining George
Washington, with rather a sallow face and
deep-set dark brown eyes and wearing a
black silk gown. The contour of Russell'5
face, with its strong chiseled features in its
gray wig OF horsehair, is exactly like that
of the father Of his country, aud the
habitual gravity of his countenance in re-
pose has a marvellous Likeness to one Of Gil
bert Stuart's portraits.
Russell has most flexible and melodious
voice, which, without a trace of Irish
accent. still makes the listener feel that it is
not an English organ, but is Instead a kind
of Cosmopolitan voice watch, alike in Lon
don. Melbourne and New York, would set
a model OF classic English pronunciation.
His oratory, too, is Irish in the sense that
it is not English. He affects others by
making himself weep, and the auditor Is
moved as much by sight Of the speakers
emotion rs by the splendid eloquence OF his
diction a I'D the pathos Of his broken words

dence Men.
COLUMBUS, GA, April lS.-The police

good haul. Three negroes were working

trick, but they ran up on ''coon" that
didn't propose to be euchered out of his
money without making a kick They
fieeched him out of S., and he Immediately
complained to the police and it was not
long before the three thieves were lodged be-
hind the bars. They are now held under
a warrant sworn out by Henry Howard,
charging them with highway robbery.
THEIR ALLEGED NAMES.
They gave their names as Harry Lansing,
Harry Thompson and Win Stevenson.
Chief Palmer, however, says he is confident
that the two Harrys are Will and Monroe
Thompkins, two notorious confidence men
who have piled their nefarious slight of
hand tricks and other schemes of robbery
all over the country. They are almost
white and one of them had a summons to
appear before the recorders court in Ameri-
Gus in his pocket. They are also believed
to be the men who committed the recent
burglaries in Americas. Chief Palmer
will have them photographed tomorrow
morning.
LODGE ROOM OF THE ELKs.
The Columbus Elks will christen their

all the churches are open every night.

FLORIDA'S CAPITAL.
The Uppermost Topics in the Minds

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, April 1s.-The
legislative committees left this morning to
visit the convict camp and agricultural col
lege. The day has not yet been named on
which to visit the state insane asylum at
Chattahoochee.
Senator Dismukes returned to-day, and
the committee will probably report to-
morrow on the bill to amend the charter of
Jacksonville, about which so much has been
said. This Dill may be defeated in the SEN
ate, though the friends of the bill claim
| enough votes to pass it. Then it goes to
the governor for his approval, as it has
passed the House by a tremendous majority.
Gov. Fleming is now nominating in the
senate county commissioners in the several
counties of the state, and all are confirmed
without delay.
Many think that the matter of the judge
ship in the Sixth circuit will be settled in a
few DAYS. and the friends of Judge Hanson
claim that he will certainly be nominated.
Among the distinguished visitors to the
capitol to-day were Col. w. c. Bird of
Jacksonville and j. E. Yonge of Pensacola.
