Philadelphia Record: II is said there
will be a Repubican-Populist coalition
against the Carlisle currency bill such
coalition should not be unexpected. The
Republicans are responsible for our aWk-
ward financial position, and the PopuliSts

Chicago Herald: The people OF this
country without regard TO their political
affiliations desire David Il. Hill 10 sue
coed in his efforts TO secure the adopllon
of closure rule in the United states
Senate. The senator Is right when he
declares that the demand for change
is not limited by party environments, but
reflects a deep and general conviction
that the present rules are not favorable
to the enactment of laws essential 10
the welfare of the people.
Twice within the past fifteen months
has the public expressed clearly and
emphatically its condemnation OF the
methods of obstruction resorted 10 by "A
minority of the Senate under existing ar
rangements TO delay action upon impor-
tant legislation when immediate and de-
csve action was imperatiVely demand
ed by the interests of the whole country.
New York World: The best thing the
Senate can do with the Allen resolution
for the investigation of the Alabama
state election Is TO throw IL into the
waste-basket specially set apart for clap
trap.
fhefe Is no possible doHBt tHdt the
government of Alabama is Republican
in form. and there is therefore no posi-
BILE excuse for senatorial inquiry on
that point. Senator Allen knows this
well enough, and he ought 10 be candid
enough to acknowledge that what he
really wishes to get at is not a question
of form. but of fact.
Under the Constitution the Senate can
not interfere in the local politics of Ala
bama unless the form of the State gov
eminent ceases 10 be Republican. And
since this canno; be challenged MIR, Al
len can hardly cite as justification for
interfering the charge that there was a
heavy white majority against Oates
which was overcome by stufiing into the
ballot-boxes the uncast votes OF thou
sands OF negroes in the Black Belt.

Minister Terrell replied that IL was nope Of
his business, and told him TO leave the building.
Mr.. RAdigtAn agreed To leave the country at
once and went 20 the Russian frontier. At
Bartoun, In Russia, he secured Russian pass
port and in this way was able 20 go 10 his relA-
lives In HarpOoL In his letter he says:

rs JENKINS n CITIZEN
According to Decisions OF tho Supreme
Court He Is.

WASHINGTON Dec. 27.-The statement tele-
graphed from West Superior, Wis, TO the effect
that the seat OF John J. jenkins, Republican.
elected to the Fifty fourth Congress to succeed
Nils p Halgen. may be contested on the ground
that he Is not q citizen. he not having taken out
naturalization papers, has resulted in thor
ough search of the records at the Capitol for
precedents upon which TO form an opinion. 1t
is said that Jenkins came from England when
he was years old and located at Bara-
boo, Wis, where he has since resided.
He admits that he has never taken out
naturalization papers but says that his
vice in the army makes him a citizen. II his
father was naturalized, that would materially
simplify the situation-in fact, would settle it.
The Supreme Court, in the case OF Campbell
agt Gordon, decided that the naturalization OF
alien conferred the rights OF acitizen on his
infant son. who was at the time OF tho natural
ization a resident OF a foreign country. but was
q resident OF tho United States at the passage OF
the law of 1902.
In the famous case of Boyd agt. Thayer decided
Feb. /, 1899, the question whether or not faith
ers naturalization conferred the right OF citizen
ship upon his infant son raised and discussed.
Boyd having been elected Governor OF Nebras-
ka, Thsyer brought suit against him for posses
never been naturalized. In the pieadinGs il was
set up that Boyd's father was naturalized while
eRst justice Faer Who dsyefsdf IL. SbRnoS
OF the court quoted the decision In Campbell
agt. Gordon, and said:
I'VE perceive no reason for limiting the rule
TO the children OF those who had already been
naturalized. In our Judgment the intention was
that the act OF 1902 should have prospective
operation"
1t was held that Gov. Boyd's acts since arrlv-
ing at the ageof 81 years constituted virtual
compliance with the requirements OF the law.
The point made by Mr; jenkins, that his war
contest made against the seating OF Capt. J. B
White, elected 10 the Fifty-drst Congress from
the Twelfth Indiana district. Mr.. White was not
disturbed in his seat and that case may form a
precedent for determining Jenkins's right To his
seat. Capt. White, after the matter had bera
discussed, completed his record by taking out
naturalization papers In due form

mother reminded her husband that he was de-

NEW HAVEN, Dec. 27.-The police investipat-
ing committee Of which Mayor Sargent Is the
Chairman, made Its report 10 the Board OF Po-
lice Commissioners this evening. The investi-
gstion was instigsted by the Rev. DR.. Newman
Smyth Of the Law and Order League" who
made grave charges against the Commissioners
and police force in general. Among other
things the report says.
Your committee finds the facts 20 be as
charged; that there has been a lack Of vigilance
and efficiency on the part OF the police in the en-
forccment OF the laws for the prevention or sup
preston OF the various forms OF gambling and
other vices, and especially IN the enforcement
OF the laws against sunday liquor selling.
As TO whether any Commissioner has sought
position on the Board of Police mmssioners
for his business advantage, or has used or ap-
peared TO use his official position TO the hinder
ance or discouragement of the police in the en-
forcement of the liquor law, or has improperly
interfered with any policemen in the discharge
of their duty, considerable testimony has been
taken. and your committee finds the testimony
concerning these matters to be Of sufficient
weight TO establish probable cause of action"
This refers TO Com mlssioners John Clancy
and Daniel Gilhuly. who are in the bottling bus
mess, and were accused by DR.. Smith of wrong
ly influencing policemen. The committee also
ind that tips of individual raids have been
given by the police officers.

ALBANY, Dec. 27.-The Assembly speakership
candidates will open their headquarters in this
city tomorrow. and then the fight for the
coveted position will become much hotter than
II has been. The situation tonight according
to Mr.. Malby, remains unchanged. According
to Mr.. Fish II has changed somewhat in his
favor, for instead of having sixty eight votes
pledged TO him the number has increased TO
seventy. There are n number of out-of-town
Assemblymen here, and to-day more are ex-
pected Mr. Fish IL, in truth, over-confldent that
he will be elected Speaker, and there seemed to-
night to be a perceptibe weakening OF Mr..
Malbys confidence, which all along has been
very great despite the list OF pledges published
by Mr.. Fish.
Several Assemblymen who have not pledged
their votes and who visited the city yesterday.
said that IL WAS useless to pledge votes at this
stage OF the Speakership game. for II would only
tend to make enemies. One OF them said that
there was dark horse In the field. and that it
was not at all unlikely that the animal would
and pass under the wire a winner.
Tho inference Is that the dark horse Is the
leader on the floor of last years Assembly, Dam
forth Z. Ainsworth, who was a candidate 70:
Speaker at the last session. and who during the
present fight for the honor has not been doing
much active work. He Is working beneath the
surface, and IL Is thought by more than ono As
semblyman that he will be elected as q compro-
mise candidate.
