For that reason he believed It proper that Mr.
Peclham should be confirmed
Mr.. George. a Democratic member Of the COM
mittee. who opposed the confirmation Of Mr..
Hornbower, consumed the time allotted TO him
In explaining why he now supported Mr.. Peck

two cases were entirely different and that In
Mr. Peckham's case they had been d!sproved.
THE OPPOSITION PRESSING FOR a VOTE.
1t had been the intention OF the opponents OF
Mr. Peckham to do no talking. but when Mr.
George had finished. Mr.. White OF California,
Democrat, and Mr.. Hawley. OF Connecticut Re-
publican. spoke perhaps three minutes each,
stating why they could not assist in confirming
Mr. Peckham each declaring his belief that
there was sufficient in what had come before
the Senate to justify its adverse action.
The anti-Peckham men discovered early In
the afternoon what they alleged was effort
on the part Of the Administration leaders TO
consume the time IN debate, and force a post
ponement Of the vote until Monday hasty
conference resulted. and a number of Peckham
Democrats declared that they would not counte-
nance such a proceeding. When it was then

given. and. after some time spent in straighten-
ing out the pairs, the Senate adjourned.

A jury in General Sessions yesterday found
Matthew Green, the foreman in the Street Clean
ing Department. who killed James Hastead

This decision was promptly arrived at. Assist
ant DistrictAttorney Weeks. who conducted the

To convict Of any degree of murder. He said
that his witness es did not give testimony which
convinced him that Green had had murder in
his heart. AS the prisoner used no weapon, the
jury told that its verdict must he guilty Of
manslaughter in the second degree. an
acquittal.
The killing occurred on July % last in First

dyer. and green, had quarrel in the birdstore
of John Kief No. $50 First-ave.. about the merits
of a canary hird. Green knocked Halstead
down. and. according to some witnesses. kicked
him in the head The deputy coroner. who made
the autopsy. however thought that the fracture
OF the skull was due TO striking the sidewalk.
William f. Howe yesterday morning made his
opening address to the jury. lie called Frederick
Adams the first witness. Adams Is bar
tender, and lives at Ne. 255 West Thirty-fifth-st
lie testified that July % he was going up
First-ave. and when between Thirty-third and
Thirty fourth sts. saw Green standing In front
of a bird store holding his hand 10 his left eye.
He saw Tlalstead come out an instant later and
heard him say to Green: "Aint you got
enough Green, according To the witness. an
swered that he had not. and was going 10 have
Halstead arrested. Then. the witness said. Hal
stead started to go away quickly and Green
followed him Suddenly Halstead turned and
struck Green. and then. in some way. both fell
To- the ground. They were both lying on the
ground when Adams turned down Thrty-fourth-
st. 10 the ferry
Assistant District Attorney Weeks succeeded In
getting Adams 10 admit that he had taken "A
great many drinks that day. and was feeling
pretty good when he saw Green and lialstead
Adams testified further that he had never known
Green before he met him three months ago IN
the Tombs He went there at the request OF
several of the defendants friends.
The defendant Green, was then put on the
stand lie said that the dispute had arisen in
the bird store over A bird. The passageway in
the store was extremely narrow. and. in turn

stomach Halstcad Immediately hit the defend-
ant over the eye

Washington Feb. 1.-THE Administration
suffered another crushing personal defeat to-
day in the Senate whensMr Cleveands second
nominee for the vacant Associate Justceship Of
the Supreme Court rejected by the decisive
vote Of Al to 80. Mr. Peckham's rejection has
been considered entirely probable for several
days, but no one in or out Of Administration
circles seems to have imagined that the ad-
verse majority against Hornblower would be
more than doubled on to-day's vote The in
ability Of the President and his advisers to carry
on n successful personal and factional contest
with the opposition in the Senate which has
been aroused by Mr.. Cleveand's arrogant and
offensive assumption OF dictatorial power In all
public affairs must now be admitted to be
demonstrated forciby enough to convince even
the bndest OF the "cuckoos." for on the super
cilIous and impolitc attitude Of the President
toward Congress the chief responsibility for his
recent revcrses I'm the Senate must unquestion-
ably be placed.
The causes which led 10 tha rejection Of Mr..
Peckham are entirely patent. The IIornbower

WHY MR.. LODGE OPPOSED PECKHAM.
THE NOMINEES AGE AND TEMPER. THE RAIL
ROADS EFFORTS FOR HIM. AND THE ADMIN
SITUATIONS $ USE OF PATRONAGE.

IsTRATIONs USE OF PATRONAGE.
Washington. Feb lG-In an interview with the
representative Of the United Press to-day Senator
Lodge said: "Yes, | voted for Hornblower and
against Peckham. The question of Senatorial
courtesy. about which much has been said in
the newspapers. had weight with me and has
very little weight, | think. with any Senator. The
same may be said Of the factional fight between Mr..
Cleveland and Mr. Hill. In both cases reached my
decision without any reference to either of these
points.
Il voted for Mr. Hornblower because / consider
him in all ways fit for the position for which he
nominated. and there were very few protests
and very little evidence against his fitness. In the
case of Mr.. Peckham. while there was nothing 20 be
said against his character Or professional ability;
there grave objections TO him on the score OF
age and temper. J. do not thlnk II wise 20 put on
the Supreme Bench over sixty years OF age.
ard the soundness Of this policy has been recog-
practice Of the Senate. There large number
Of protests against Mr. Peckham's confirmation. and
great deal OF serious testimony as TO ms not
possessing tho proper judicial temper OF which his
dispatch to Judge Caldwell. regulating in violent
language an order OF the Court was an unfortunate
'Iiut that which weigh cd most against him with
to be used by the Administration in the attempt
to secure votes for hts confirmation joined WITH
Of which the head OF the Governmen, was capable.
cannot conceive of anything worse or more de-
moralzlng than to nave COMBINATIONS 20 once s.
cured by appointments TO other offices. or by
threats of removal from office. Against such
methods / propose always to protest and vote In
accordance with my conception Of plain public
duty.
"In addition 10 this I was disguised by the efforts
Of railroad corporations through letters ana tele-
grams to secure vOes for Mr.. Peckham. Some OF
these corporations have suits pending. All are
likely to have them. and do not think that a
Judge OF the Supreme Court should be under any
obligations for support Of this character ! shall
always be ready to vote against the confirmation OF
any man for judicial Office IN whose behalf such
methods are employed as, on the best information
could get. believe to have been employed by
