His Nomination Rejected by the Senate
Yesterday by Majority of Six,
After Long Discussion.
FIGHTING THE TARIFF BILL
Connecticut Democrats Make War
on the Tobacco Schedule.
Three Amendments Offered by the Ways
and Means Committee Adopted
Features of the Debate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The legislative
session of the Senate to-day was short and
uneventful, nearly the whole day being de-
voted to executive session, in consideration
of the Hornblower nomination There was
an unusual flood Of petitions protesting
against the passage of the Wilson tariff
bill presented in the morning hour, after
the reading of the journal.
Senator Martin called up House bill
thorizing the Shawnee Heat and Light
Company. Of Kansas, to construct a dam
across the Kansas river in Shawnee coun-
ty, Kansas and it was passed.
At 12:45 the Senate, on motion of Mr.. HILL
went into executive session TO consider the
Hornblower nomination. Senator Hill
opened the fight against confirmation and
Senator Villas the only Democratic member
of the judiciary committee who supported
Mr. Hornblower in the committee room,
made a strong appeal for confirmation.
After a general discussion lasting through
out the afternoon Hornblower's nomination
was rejected by a majority of six.
A report was circulated to-day to the eff
feet that the fight made upon the nomina-
ton of Justice Hornblower was backed by
an important deal bearing upon the tariff
bill. It was stated that number of Dem
ocratic Senators who were fighting Horn
blowers nomination intended to join the
Republican forces in their warfare upon
the Wilson tariff bill, and that unless many
important amendments were to be made
to that measure 1t would be defeated on
it's final passage; that all Democrats OPP
posed to Hornblower's nomination would
stand with the Republicans in their war
fare upon the Wilson bill. The report, how
ever was not confirmed.

FIT OBJECTS FOR PITY.
Two of the Unemployed Who Have
Won an Observers Compassion.
Boston TRANSCRIPT

Speaking of the unemployed, a case which
may we'll be considered pathetic has come
under the Listeners direct observation at
the Back bay. There are two of these un-
employed. One is a young woman and the
other is a dog. The Listener knows that
they must be unemployed, because they sit
at the bay window of fourth-story fiat
a great deal more of the time than they
would If they had any employment. The
attire OF the young woman and the elegance
of the collar and carefulness of the groom
ing of the dog preclude the idea that the
pair have not money enough; the only
trouble about them is that they are unem-
ployed. The lady generally wears n creamy,
lacy, flowing garment in the morning, and
sits in the bay window. very Often with
her dainty chin resting the palms OF her
hands, and often with one band stroking
the dog. and looks lisuessly down the street.
Her eyes are large and dark. She looks
very solitary, very listless, very unem-
ployed. In the afternoon she reappears at
the window in a dark dress, with the dog,
and looks down the street. Here she

disappearing at intervals into the dark
depths OF the room, coming back and sit
