.NANTLE'S RIGHT TOA SEAY
Senator Mitchell's Argument
Against the Majority Report.
A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
He Holds That Disastrous COnse.
4 quences Would Follow Its Adoption.
Party Organization and Party Discipline
He Believes Would Be Destroyed
Factions and FiIibustering
Encouraged.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The debate
started yesterday on the question of the
right to seats in the Senate of persons APP
pointed by the governors of Montana,
Washington and Wyoming, was resumed
this morning, Mr.. Mitchell of Oregon
making legal and constitutional argu-
ment against the report of the committee
on Privileges and Elections, which de-
clares them entitled to seats.
Among the disastrous consequences
that would follow the adoption OF the
majority report, Mr.. Mitchell mentioned
these: 1t would unreasonably augment
and extend the prerogatives of state ex-
ecutive over those OF the legislature, and
subordinate the constitutional functions
of the legislature to those of the execu-
tive, 1t would place premium on trea-
son to party organization and party dis
cipline. 1t would encourage factions and
minorities in legislatures in flibustering
efforts to defeat the election of Senators,
and 1t would tend to prevent a fair eX-
preston of the will of the majority
of the legislature. In conclusion he
expressed the conviction that a ma
jority of the Senate would vote for
admission of the three senator's. But
such vote would be one to overturn DELHI
crate precedent established by the Senate
after full consideration of over sixty-eight
years ago. 1t would establish precedent
that would result, inside of ten years, in
having one-third of the senators men who
owed their seats to executive appoint
ment, and it would infict fatal stab to
the greatest principle of Republican gov
erDment.
The matter then went over, Mr. Turpie
having the floor when the subject next
comes up After an executive session the
Senate adjourned till Monday.
The Senate confirmed the recommends
ton OF George j. Denis of California, at
ern district of California.

Cupid a Paok-Rorse.

The Emperor Hadrain made Cupid a
pack-horse to carry him to the throne.
PIotina, Traian's wife. was in love with
Hadrain, and desired to secure his sue
cession to the purple. But Trajan died
unexpectedly before Plotina's plans were
completed. and she thereupon hired q
person to represent Trajan, who lying on
his back in the dead emperor's bed made
a will nominating Hadrain his successor.
Hadrain repaid his benefactress by show
ing his regard for her so plainly and pub
licly that his wife, Julia Sabina, COM
mitted suicide. After PIotina's death
Hadrain erected temple in her honor
and commanded her name to be enrolled
among the gods.

A MARRIAGE Contest.

Theodosius the younger was married by
competitive examination. His council
lors resolved to provide him with a perfect
wife, and made proclamation throughout
the empire that all maidens who desired
to compete should come to COnstantino-
pie and be entered. At that time a young
Greek girl named Athenias came to the
capital to secure her share of the family
estate, and by singular good fortune at
tracted the attention of an officer of the
palace, who introduced her to the lady
having the contest In charge. She was
enrolled with the rest, over 800 in num-
Der, was chosen by the emperor, and soon
obtained a complete ascendancy over him.
In her old age she was uni Justly accused
by her enemies and was exiIed to Jeru-
salem, where she died.

Tho President Talks Plainly Regarding
State Delegation States.
WASHINGTON, March SO.-"But, Mr..
President, what are you going to do with
state congressional delegations fixing up
the distribution of local patronage?''
81 am going to smash them
This is the question reported to
have been put to the presi-
dent by a congressman. and the reply of
the president.
To make the matter little clearer, the
congressman learned that while an agree
ment OF delegation upon local officers
may have weight, the president will not
be bound by it. So plain has this policy
of the president become that the Alabama
delegation has decided to abandon it's
slate heretofore agreed upon. This lead
will be followed by other delegations with
the result that probably the contest for
Office will become free for all race and
each candidate will run on his own
merits. This viii be satisfactory to many
congressman for it will relieve them of
considerable responsibility.

Another Scheme TO Enable Chinese to Get
Into This Country.
WASHINGTON. March 3O.-Assistant
Secretary Spaulding has written the fol-
lowing letter to collectors on the Pacific
coast: The department is informed that
the practice obtains among Chinese
laborers in this country of entrusting
money to merchants which is treated as a
part of their capital in business.
Chinese laborers who made such dispo-
sition of their savings although not ac-
lively engaged in mercantile business
claimed to be merchants and thereby
entitled to leave the country and return.
The department desires you to closely scra-
tinize certificates which may be presented
at your port of returning Chinese and to
require evidence OF the landing to the
holders as bona fide merchants actually
engaged in business.
In no case should Chinese be permitted
to enter as merchants unless their right
to the privilege is clearly established, and
where it appears the practice herein
referred to is attempted, the certificate
presented should be ignored, the holders
arrested and the facts reported to this de-
Dartment

LIVERPOOL, March 3O.--Officials of the

the vessel was at the time, would have
