BELLIcERENT JUDGE GRAY
Wants To Be at Home When the Eiec.
ton SupervIsor Calls. Eszs

WASHINGTON, December 5.-In the Senate
today, the elections bill was taken up and
Mr.. Gray addressed the Senate in opposition.
taking up the fourteenth section of the bill
which gives jurisdiction on election matters
to United States courts. Judge Gray argued
that such extra judicial duties could not be
imposed by Congress upon the courts and
judges. He fortified his argument by quo.
tations from decisions of the Supreme Court.
II the powers described in this section were
judicial 1t was beyond the competence of Con
gress to confer them upon board of canvas.
sers. If they were not judicial they could
not be conferred upon court.
Mr.. Hoar asked Mr.. Gray whether he held
that state legislature could not authorize a
board of canvassers to count voters and de-
clare the title to the office and whether it
could not provide further that there might be
an appeal to the judicial power to revise and
control the action of such board.
Mr.. Gray replied that the correct answer to
the question depended very largely on the
constitution of the particular state He re-
ferred to the Improvement Of affairs In the
southern states since the reconstruction pc
rod and asked why that amelioration should
now be inteIfered with. 81 come to the dis
cussion of the bill, said he, mot on the lines
| of sectiOnalism, not with reference to the re-
| lations Of the two races in the southern
| country, but as great party proposition, to
| turn back the traditions OF one hundred
| years of orderly, rational and peaceful gov
| erDment under the constitution OF the United
| and revolutionize its ideas and sentiments" :"
| Coming to the section which provides that
| the supervisor Of elections may make a
| house to house visitation to inquire as to the
names, politics. nationality, ETC., OF the male
| inmates. Mr. Gray said: I'm all the meas
ures which provoked and goaded our ances-
| tors to resist the tyranny of the British
| King, none approached the infamy OF this
| provision and, moderate as l am in all my
| conceptions of my duty as citizen and a
man, law abiding have always been and re-
| spectful to the powers that be, | say now,
| when this supervisor knocks at my door,
| pray God shall be at home" lAppause..
| Mr.. Snooner. a member of the committee
| on privileges and elections, said that clause
| had been struck out by the committee.
But" said Mr.. Gray, ut Is in the bill as
| reported"
Mr.. Hoar explained that 1t was in by mis-
take either of the clerk or printer, and sub.
sequently admitted that the mistake might
| have been his own.
Mr.. Gray then moved that the paragraph
in question be struck out of the substitute.
Mr.. Edmunds expressed the opinion thai
it ought to stand. He regarded it as very
| proper provision.
Mr.. Teller, member of the committee
| joined in the statement that the committee
had agreed to omit the domieiliary clause
He said Mr.. Gray's denunciation was none
| too severe.
The Senate adjourned without action.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

Miss Lydia Thompson Is entitled to praise
in that she never allows her name TO be iden-
tilted with any entertainment that she Is not
certain will satisfy her audiences. ohe has
been before the public for some years now,
but the figure, the grace. the general charm
OF personality that gained her great Tepu-
tatIon in the past, still abide with her and are
potent to draw hearty applause. Her skirt
dance in her new burlesque Of The Daz-
zler," at Portland theatre last night, was an
exceedingly dainty, graceful and modest per-
formance and deserved the encore II received.
Miss Thompson also sings pleasiugly and
dresses most becomingly.
But Miss Thompson does not put herself
forward to the ignoring Of her company. IL
Is true that she is not surrounded by brave
band of beauties, such as dazzled the eyes Of
the rollickiDR lambs Of New York and Bos-
ton when she first came to this country, bu

having in tow the schooner D.GiffoId OF Bos-
ton, Capt Cosman. from Bangor for New
York with cargo of lumber.
The Clifford was caught in the gale OF the
Sd off Boone Island, sail was reduced to close
reefs and the vessel headed off shore. Dur
ing the heavy gusts sail after sail was blown
from the bolt ropes until becoming unmana-
geable she fell off in the trough Of the sea.
Heavy waves swept over the helpless craft,
smashing the only boat and carrying every
movable thing about deck overheard. A
long and anxious night was passed, the
bowling winds and binding snow adding to
the terrors Of the sea. Daylight Of the 4th
dawned and revealed the fact that a rugged
lee shore was none too far away. Forum
ately the wind veered to the westward aud
jib. the only sail left, was hoisted and the
schooner headed to the northward and east
ward. The wind increasing, good progress
was made and during the afternoon the Gif-
ford was sighted by the Woodbury. between
Cape Elizabeth and Seguin.
The wind by this time had increased to a
gale from west north west creating such an
ugly cross sea it was not deemed advisable
to attempt to lower boat unless the neces-
sity became absolute. The schooner was
signalled to hold her course; that the Wood
bury would stand by her anda hawser would
be sent as soon as possible. After several
hours watching lull in the wind occurred,
during which the Clifford was hove TO and
boarded and hawser made fast.
The Woodbury. was headed for Boothbay
reaching there safely as above. The crew of
the Clifford are much exhausted from cold
