WASHINGTON, May 10.-When the
senate met today bunch of La France
roses graced the desk to be occupied by
MIR. Patton, the new senator from Mich-
gan, appointed to succeed the late SEN
ator Stockbridge. Some routine bush
ness was transacted. The hearings
given by the joint committees of naval
affairs on the personnel OF the navy
were ordered printed. Mr.. Allen tP0pu-
list. Neb.) introduced bill to repeal
the act regulating the use OF the capitol
grounds under which Coxey and his
lieutenants were prosecuted. Mr.. Frye
presented the resolution of the National
Statistic association In favor of a thor
Ough reform of the consular service,
Mr.. PETER introduced resolution for
the appointment of special committee
of three senators to investigate the COIL
dition of the country. with especial
reference to the prevailing business de-
preston, and to report what legislation,
it any, Will afford relief.
The Allen resolution to investigate
the alleged police clubbing May then
came up, and Mr.. GOrdon Den, Ga.)
took the floor. MIR. Gordon said that
the Cuxey movement was the child of
paternal theory of government. The
remedies for existing conditions, he
said, were to be found Ill the decentral-
ization of power. Mr.. Teller favored
the resolution. Coxey was law-ablding
citizen. Ee and his followers had
trudsed here through the rain and mad
and were entitled to respectful consid-
Grafton. He did not indorse the statute
under which they had been arrested.
He did not think the senate could refuse
to Investigate the
POLICE CLUBBING.
He himself would furnish the names
of witnesses. Whether Coxey was
crank or not did not matter. His scheme
was absurd, as were many others put
forward in the hour OF distress; but 1t
was not wicked scheme; 1t only asked
congress to provide work for the unen-
ployed. Mr.. Stewart, of Nevada. main
tanned strenuously that Coxey had COM
mitted no Offense, aud drifted gradually
into discussion of the general condi-
ton of the country. which he attributed
entirely to the monetary policy of the
&c vernment.
Mr.. Hoar said Coxey knew that the
law under which he was convicted was
on the statute books. He came here
with the deliberate Intention Of violat-
ing it. He wanted to test the power OF
congress in the court. and when he
found both court and jury against him
he set up howl. "rhere is danger,i
said Mr.. Hoar. sin such assemblages.
They afford cover for one or two fanatl
les. 1t does not do to scott. Within
ten years an attempt has been made to
blow up the houses of parliament: with
in two years another attempt to blow up
the French assembly. Two presidents
of the United States have been murl

to whom the peaceab!e assemblageS
afforded an opportunity to escape. This
is why. in the provisions of the riot law
of every state, when the; magistrate
reads the act all people must gu home.
A man may be there with peaceable in
tentions. but if when the riot act is read
he refuses to go. he is liable to punish
Inent. Those who are peaceable shield
those who are not. 1t is needless for
me-" SAID Mr.. Hoar. drawing himself Up

Stewart, ITO declare that l sympathiZe

than some of those who always prate of

The galleries burst into ringing APP
plause at this utteranca, aud, in order
| to quell the demonstration. Mr.. Faux
ner, who was in the chair, was forced
| to use his gavel vigorously and threat
enst0 clear the galleries.
Mr.. Hoar closed with an impressive
| declaration that the senate would stand
on its constitutional rights, and that it
would not be frightened into doing
what was not best for the country by
any mob demonstration or by declar-
ations, whether they came from the
camp of Coxey or the seat of the senator

debate for the day with fe w vigorous
words. Until this morning he had op-
posed the idea of appointing COM
mittee to investigate
THE ALLEGED oUTRAGES
Oh the capitol steps. But when SEN
ator like Mr.. Teller. usually careful and
calm in his judgment. entered charges
of outrageous conduct against the police
of the District OF Columbia, he thought
the senate was entitled to know the
facts.
Mr.. Gray got the floor one minute be.
fore l O'clock. and was proceeding to
l<say that he had never seen anything in
connection with the Coxey movement
that warranted congress taking the
slightest notice of 1t, when the morning
hour expired and Mr. Harris insisted
upon going ahead with the tariff bill.
When the bill was laid before the
senate Mr.. Gallinger (Rep.. N. ~ Of
fered the amendment, of which he had
heretofore given notice, concerning the
tariff operations between this country
and Canada.
Other senators expressing desire to
speak upon the amendment. Mr.. CAL
linger withdrew it, with the intention
of reintroducing it.
The first paragraph in the tariff sched-
ules, viz: that Of acetic acid, the che
mical schedule, was taken up. and Sena-
tor Allison offered an amendment sub
shutting the provision in the Mckinley
law Oh this article for the provision in
the pending bill of % per cent ad valo-
rem. He called the attention to the
tact that acetic acid duty in the Mills
bill was in accordance with the specific
| system, and intimated that Mr.. Mills
had not in that instance been unfriendIv
to specific rates. Rising at this juncture.
