THE WORLDS FAIR.
The subcommittee of the special hous'
committee on the worlds fair was in ses
sion yesterday engaged in carrying out tht
instructions to formulate bill providin!
for holding the fair in 1892. The Chicago
and New York bills we're used as bash
for the new bill, and such sections rs or,
acceptable to all of the competing cite
we're arranged in a manner prellminar,
to forming rough draft of the subcom
mittee's bill.
IN THE SENATE.
Senator Hoar presented resolution.
adopted at mass meeting held recent,
in Trenton temple, Boston, on the suffice
Of the cruel deprivation of the colorec
people of the right to take part in elec
tions in some of the southern states. Re
fprred to the committee on privileges anC
elections.
Senator Cockrell introduced bill to re.
peal the silver coinage bill of February %
1878. and requiring the purchase and coin
aye of 5000 900 month in standard sill
yer dollars. Mr.. .Cockrell respectfully re.
quested the finance committee, to which
the bill has been referred, to take imme-
diate action upon it and report it back to
4he senate for its action.
"A resolution heretofore offered by Sen
ator Chandler, calling on the attorney gen
eral for report of the United States mar
shal for the northern district of Mississp-
pi concerning the maltreatment OF Henry
j. Frauz, of Aberdeen, Miss, was taken
up for consideration. Senator Walthall
addressed the senate.
Senator Walthall criticised all proposed
remedies for the race trouble, including
deportation and disfranchisement, as i'm.
practicable and impossible. Such colored
men as Douglass, Bruce and Lynch, he
said, we're not types but prodigies but
some northern people, judging the whole
negro race by them, did not appreciate the
danger in which the southern pei pie
stand of negro rule.
Senator George spoke of the resolution
as unparalleled in the his orv of legis-
lation in this country. He admitted that
this fact had been correctly stated by the
senator from Kansas the other day, per-
haps with little coloring, and he had no
hesitation in declaring that the Frauz
matter was such as demanded OF the legls-
lature of Mississippi examination and
reparation to the man maltreated.
Senator Chandler advocated the resolu-
ton. If the senate was to be not only
tainted when wrongs of this kind were
,mnit.ea, by bong asked "WhdJ are
you going to do about it," but also was to
be told by the senator from Mississippi
"You have no right to inquire, and you
dare not inquire into outrages OF this sort"
then indeed had the senate fallen on
woeful and lamentable times.
Senator ingalls, spoke forcibly on the
matter, as follows.
1T may be you will succeed in procur-
lily Il utCld' dliOlI Lllut Jlc btLutB VI lllc
United States-that the government of
the United States-has no power either
to inquire into wrong against its citizens
or to protect them against invasions OF
their right, but l say to the senator if
Frauz had been citizen of Kansas, and
it should appear that the authorities of
Mississippi would not avenge that wrong,
and if it should appear that the govern
ment and the authorities OF the United
States were powerless to prevent such
wrong, ! will guarantee to him that the
citizens of Kansas would take it into their
hands to resent it and to exact repara-
ton" [Murmurs Of disapprova from the
Democratic side.
Senator George challenged the senator
from Kansas, or any senator on the Re-
publican side, to put his finger on that
clause of the constitution which Authorizes |
the federal government to punish or to
take the jurisdiction OF crimes committed |
within state and not against the laws of
the United States.
Senator Spooner asked Senator George
if he doub' ed the power of the senate to
charge an appropriate committee with
the power of investigating the depart
ment of justice and compelling the attor-
ney general to produce any paper on file
in his department.
Senator George repeated his challenge
Senator Wilson (Iowa) referred him to
section 2, article of the constitution, in
these words:
"Citizens of each state shall be entitled
to all the privileges and immunities as
citizens of the several states"
Senator Regan condemned the out
rage, but denied the right of the govern
ment of the United States to take juris-
diction. If sectional agitation would
cease, and the people Of the south were
permitted to shape their course to the
of the community without hav-
ing to guard themselves from attack
from the outside, there would be fewer
occasions for violations OF the law.
Senator George again took the floor,
and the resolution went over without ac-
ton.
