SENATE CLOSED TO VISITORS.
The New Rules Are Not Agreeable TO
Outsiders Nor to All Senators.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December 10
Some Of the regulations for the protec-
tion OF Senators from outside intrusion,
which have been adopted during the
present session Of Congress, are at
tractlng considerable attention, and
much adverse criticism from the
habitues OF the capital. Many Sen
ators also remark upon the regulations
as unnecessary, and object TO being put
in the position OF trying TO avoid meet
ing the public, and Say that the new
rules are not the result Of any general
consultation with Senators. There
are but two elevators In the Senate
wing, and the public is now restricted TO
the use of one Of these. The chamber,
which has ever since the establishment
of the government been open TO vista
tion and inspection by visitors when the
Senate was not in session, has also been
closed against the public. The privil-
ege of going upon the floor has always
been considered one Of the greatest
which the out OF town visitor could en-
Joy, but under the new regulations vis-
itors will not be allowed this privilege.
The Presidents room is also now
closed to visitors, except those who pos
sess Senatorial influence sufficient to
have the door unlocked.
The professed object OF all this soIic-
itude is to promote the business of the
Senate and protect Senators as far as
possible from outside intrusion while
they are attending TO business, and. as
in the case OF excluding visitors from
the Presidents room and the Senate
chamber to prevent the desecration Of
these places by relic hunters.
1t is asserted that some Of the Sena-
tors object to being josted by the crowd
in the elevators and that when they
choose to occupy their desks in the
chamber when the Senate is not in ses-
sion they prefer privacy rather than
the interruption to which they are sub
jected by throwing the doors open and
letting In the multitude. They are also
constantly beset by lobbyists, and since
Mr.. Ceveland's accession TO the Presi-
dency the Democratic Senators have
been importuned for aiding Office seek
until life has become almost burden.

A very striking statement regarding
free coal was made TO the Ways and
Means Committee yesterday by Mr..
Wm. A Baldwin, member OF the Bal
timore delegation which appeared be-
tore the committee for the purpose Of
securing a higher rate OF duty on cot
ton ducking. When Mr. Bald win had
stated the reasons why, in his opln-
ion, his industry would be injured by
the rate Of duty fixed In the Wilson
bill, Mr.. Bryan, OF Nebraska, called his
attention to the fact that the bill re-
moved the duty on coal aud inquired il
free coal would not compensate him for
the reduction In duty on his manufac-
tured productions.
"No," Mr.. Baldwin answered. THE
placing OF coal on the free list will do
US no good. 1t would costs me more 70
haul imported coal from the wharf at
Baltimore to my factory a distance OF
FIVE miles, than il costs 10 bring il 200
miles from Western Maryland and West
Virginia on the railroad without break
ing bulk. II is because OF the necessity
of breaking bulk 10 the case Of i'm ported
coal that makes Il unable to compete
with the domestic coal"
This statement by a disinterested
manufacturer gives out fully the argu-
ments OF those who contend that the
placing OF coal on the free list will not
affect the Maryland and West Virginia
coal industry.
