rELFeRAMs THAT NEVER CANA NEW YoRK
sKouEL TO A SCENE II THE SENATE YEsrER-
.DAY-THE CALIFORNIA SENATOR LAID Up IN
NEW YORK BIZ AN ACCIDENT.
From the New York SUM- Today.
There is highly interesting New York part
to the story of the laying aside of the force bill
in the Senate yesterday. The dispatches relate
that Senator Stewart and Senator Aldrich had n
disagreement on the floor as to the right of
Senator Stewart to pair Senator Stanford
against cloture, and Senator Stewards state
ment that Mr.. Stanford if he were there would
vote to lay the force bill aside. party of
statesmen arrived from Washington last night
and one OF them said that the difference be-
tween the two Senators has something a good
deal more lively than disagreement.
When Senator Stewart announced that Sem
ator Stanford had authorized him to pair him
against cloture Senator Adrich rose nnd. in a
parliamentary way. informed the Senate that
he knew personally that Senator Stanford had
gwen no such authority. and that Senator STAN
ford before leaving Washington on Sunday had
informed him SENATOR Aldrich) that he was in
favor OF the force bill, and proposed to stand
by it, Senator Stewart became exceedingly
angry at this, and fatty contradicted Senator
Aldrich. The discussion came down TO a per-
sonal matter between the two Senators, and
they were induced to abandon it for the time to
avoid O scene.
BLOCKED By THE BLiZzARD.
But neither Senator was satisfied. Senator
Aldrich at once sent telegram 30 Senator
Stanford asking him to arise in his might and
confound tho Senator from Nevada. Senator
Stewart also sent telegram to Senator STAN
ford asking him to telegraph at once and con-
firm the authority given verbally. which had
been sneered at by the Senator from Rhode
Island. Neither Senator bethought him that
there was little or no Geographic eommunica-
ton between New York and Washington and
both were on the anxious seat all day.
Meanwhile Senator Stanford was ut the
Windsor Hotel. resting after q carriage acct
dent he had had in the morning. He had also
been telesraphing. He had sent a telegram to
Senator Stewart, giving him the desired au-
thority to pair him against clOturc. But his
telegram did not reach its destination for the
same reason that the kilograms Of the heated
Senators in Washington did not get here.
After the two Senators in Washington had
waited all day for replies to their earnest APP
peals they decided to wait no longer. but to
come to New York in the evening train and
talk to Senator Stanford face to face. This
resolution was formed by each separately.
They were not speaking" after their little tiff
in the Senate. Their surprise and disgust
may be imagined when they faced each other
in the parlOr car. They sat as far apart as pos
sibls.
IhE ARRIVAL IN NEW YORK.
Arrived in New York, each hired him a car
riage and paid the driver extra to get him as
quickly Us possible to the Windsor Hotel. They
arrived simultaneously and faced the clerk
together. They handed him their cards. which
were sent up to Senator Stanfords room,
Pretty soon Senator Stanford sent down his
compliments to the Senators in waiting and
said that he regretted that his accident pre-
vented him from seeing them. lie referred

thy, who was able to be ont of bed. 1t was 30
late that Mr.. Mccarthy had retired. He re-
ceived the two Senators in an undress costume.
They both burst at him in the same breath
How about Stanfords pair in the force bill?"
Secretary Mccarthy smiled pleasantly at the
Senator from Nevada and then at the senator
from Rhode Island. Then he said to the
former:
did you not get Mr.. Stanford's telegram,
authorizing you to pair him against cloture?"
Senator Aldrich's face dropped until ii was
painful for to see. He then used language. 1t
was language stronger than that with which he
had addressed Senator Stewart in the Senate.
He said he was at a loss to understand how
Senator Stanford could call himself con-
sistent man. Then he left for Providence in
high dudgeon.
Mr.. Mccarthy was seen last night and asked
as to senator Stanford's position on the force
bill. Said he:
Senator Stanford has expressed himself
many eiucs vi tIut QutstlOn ne ID IN IaVOr
business legislation as against political legisa-
ton every time. He is in favor Of the Stewart
amendment to the force bill, or Of the silver
bill. or Of the blue, or red. or green bill. He
is not in favor of this waste OF time. But he
believes, Of course, in the principles OF the
force bill"
SENATOR srANFoRD's ACCIDENT.
Senator Stanford's carriage accident was
rather serious. He and his private secretary,
MIR. j. B. Mccarthy, came here Sunday night,
intending to return by the 4:5O train yesterday
afternoon to Washington. The Senator wanted
to see his horses, which are to be sold today
and tomorrow, and he started from the
building with his secretary about 1880 o'clock
They had one-hOrse coupe which the Senator
hailed at the corner Of 5lst street.
At Park avenue and 59th street the driver
tried to the Belt line car tracks in front of
a car. The car struck the coupe and turned il
completely over. The Senator was thrown ON
| his head and fell over on his secretary. They
crawled out Of one Of the cab windows. In
doing it the Senator was cut on the left side of
the forehead by a piece Of broken glass from
the window. They found the cab driver argu-
ing with the car driver They didn't wait to
hear the result of the argument. They walked
to drug store on the block below. A doctor
examined both and found few bruises, one
| severe one on the Senator's shoulder and one
on the Secretary's leg, and the cut which he
| dressed. The wounded men started off on
foot to see the horses then. They remained in
the Institute building an hour. They will start
for Washington on the 1910 train this morning
Senator Stewart will accompany them. Sena-
tor Stanford has an engagement to dine with
President Harrison this evening.
