WHAT THEY SAID.
The Opening Debare In the Senate
on the Resolution.

WASHINGTON, August 2O.-In the Senate
today Mr.. Edmunds asked and obtained a
leave Of absence for six days from tomorrow
on account of his health.
Mr. Quay's resolution fixing time for vot-
ing on the tariff bill, and designating other
legislative business to be taken up at this
session, was laid before the Senate.
Mr.. Hoar demanded the yeas and nays on
agreeing to the resolution and then offered
as a substitute for Mr.. Quay's resolution his
own proposition, making II In order that
when any bill or resolution shall have been
under consideration for a reasonable time for
any Senator to demand that debate thereon
be closed.
He also moved to amend Mr. Quay's reso-
luton by adding to it provision to include
in the business to be taken up the federal

time he would demand division Of the ques-
tion, meaning that he would ask separate
votes on his own resolution and on Mr..
HOar's amendment.
Mr.. Hoar then addressed the Senate.
he said that the purpose of Mr..

gress. The next session would last but 13
weeks, from which the Christmas holidays
would have to be deducted. There would
Dc 10 BItdb dppIOpfldblDu DlllS 10 DO passed.,
besides he.apportioDment bill, and other
business which pressed upon the attention
of Congress. That consideration should be
enough to defeat the resolution. Everybody
who voted for it committed himself forever
to the principles that the Senate had the
right, at its discretion, to cut off debate and
order the question. Those gentlemen, II
there were any, who once thought they
could not c0nscientiously vote to limit de-
bate in the Senate until every state had its
constitutional right to be heard there at its
own discretion were now invited to say that
that they would, 10 or II days beforehand,
make despotic order that debate should
close, although they could not then know
what amendments might be pending, or
what shape bill might have assumed five
minutes before the vote.
Mr.. Spooner moved to refer the Quay res
olution to the committee on rules.
Mr.. Frye made an impassioned address to
the Republican Senators against that motion
and in favor of an amendment TO the rules
providing for the adoption Of the previous
question. He said II 43 Republican Senators
would sit from 10 until every day, and all
night IL necessary, the rule could be changed
In three days; the tariff bill passed 10 days
afterwards, and the election bill 10 days af-
ter that. But cowardice never won battle
and never retained friend.
Mr.. Edmunds declared his opposition TO
the muZZling process. While Mr. Edmunds
was speaking the clock struck 12 and the
tariff bill came before the Senate as unfn-
ished business.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
JED PRoUTY.

While Richard Golden's play of "Old Jed
Prouty." is Familiarity named after Mr..
Prouty, it is said to aim at portraying only a
Yankees best qualities, with the laudable
object of demonstrating to the world.
through the agency of the stage, that the
Down-Easter is not such fool as he is usu
ally represented to be; on the contrary, Old
Jed Prouty's Yankee heart is likely to win
the same amount of admiration that his ma
tive Yankee wit has done. The play pre-
sents him as the hero of an authentic Incl
dent in BuckspoIt history. The tale is
claimed to be most poetic in its feeling, and
this without in any way sacrificing the COM
edy or the plot. 1t is booked at the City
Hall for tomorrow night and tickets should
be procured at once at Stockbridge's.

new in minstrelsy. They gave an entertain

unique originality"

FOUR HUNDRED BUILDINGS
Wholly or Partially Demolished by
the cyclone In WiIkesbarre.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa. August 2O.-Some of
the largest structures in the city were among
those destroyed in yesterdays cyclone. A
careful estimate places the number of build
ings demolished and partially destroyed at
400. The loss will probably reach nearly, If
not quite. a million dollars, although in the
present chaos no possible means of making a
close estimate exist. AT the City Hospita
several victims are cared for. Some of them
cannot survive. So far as can be ascertained,
the number of those instantly killed was II.
In addition, eight were fatally hurt, besides
big list of others injured.
The Ninth Regiment is on duty to answer
to proclamation by the mayor. The sol
diers are assisting the police in maintaining
order and are everywhere eager to assist and
do whatever asked. Unemployed men will
be impressed into service to raise the OBJ
structions laid upon very many of the
streets by fallen trees and telegraph poles.
