by MT. Cochran with: 1t is strange that with all the eloquence possessed by the gentleman from New York he should re- sort to that which is merely physical. Republican laughter and applause.l The gentleman wants to know why the unem- pl0yed are wandering about the streets when the Mckinley bill is in operation"-
 Mir. Cochran interrupted to say that he referred not to the Mckinley law, but to the long years during which the protective system had been in operation. At the end of that time, when the suspension did come, he said it was extraordinary that employers should have all the profits and labor should be walking the streets.
 That is precisely what I was calling at- tention to-" continued MT. Reed. You give a reason and state a fact. By simi- lar process might charge the present con dition of affairs to the unfaithfulness of the Democratic party. Prosperity has been arrested by the threat of another system not by the continuance of the present one. !"
 The applause on the Republican side and in the galleries was deafening when MT. Read sat down.
 1.-The conclusion of the gentleman's ar gument," replied MT. Cochran when order was restored, illustrates its beginning The beginning of too much tariff reform is physical; the conclusion of the protective argument is purely spiritual" Laughter and applause.l

Liliuokalani Cannot sue.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-The rumor that ex-Queen Liliuokalani is about to bring suit against the United States for a very large sum of money, passing her claim to damages on the presidents recent Hawaii an message and Secretary Gresham's let ter, has created good deal of interest in official circles. Suit cannot be brought by an individual against the government, and there is no method of procedure through the courts which the ex-queen could take to prosecute her claim.
 The only course which Iiliuokalani can pursue is to submit her claim against the United States. Congress would have to approve this before the claim could be ad- judged by the court of claims. In fact the only recourse of the ex-queen is to con- gress, where, in view of her present un- popularity, she could hardly expect to meet with satisfaction or success.

 WASHINGTON, Jan 16.-The senate after q contest of more than six hours rejected Che nomination of w. B. Hornblower of New York as associate justice of the su- preme court by a vote of 80 to 24. A great deal of interest was manifested in this case because of the fight which Senator Hill of New York made against the confirmation.
 The principal speeches of the afternoon were made by Senator Hill against and by Senator Villas of Wisconsin in favor of con- firmation- Senator Hill talked for over an hour and a half and Senator Villas for two hours. Both were powerful speeches from their respective standpoints and were spo- ken of highly by those who heard them.
 Senator Hill began immediately after the doors were closed in support of the adverse report of the judiciary committee. He maintained that the committee had care fully and deliberately weighed all the evi- dence before it; that the conclusion had been reached only after the most painstak- ing examination of all the facts and that the determination reached was based upon all the facts presented.
 HIll on Hornblower.
 MT. Hill dwelt at some length upon the importance of a position on the supreme bench and then turned to the legal qualifi- cations which Mr. Hornblower possessed. He said that among the many men who adorned the bar of New York state and who were Democrats stanch and true there were hundreds more capable of filling the position than MT. Hornblower. In state abounding with legal talent it was not necessary to select to occupy an exalted po- sition on the supreme bench men of medi- ocre ability. The office was of so much importance and dignity that it deserved to command and heretofore had commanded the most eminent legal talent of the coun- try. but in the present instance men of greater experience and of more general re- nown, if not greater personal integrity. could have been found for the office to which the president had appointed Mir. Hornblower.
 MT. Hill did not attack the personal char acter of the nominee, but reviewed the his tory of his practice in New York, and he
