Quincy HERALD: As n candidate
Franklin Macvcagh is beyond re-
proach. He is gentleman and u
scholar. He has fought with pen
and speech for tariff reform for many
years. His work in this line ante
dates the famous message of Grover
Cleveland. One OF the most prac-
teal and argumcntative addresses
upon the need of tariff revision that
the writer ever listened to fell from
the lips of this same Macfcagh six
years ago. He is an every day busi-
ness man, but Mt the same time is an
authority on themes of finance and
taxation - twin dogmas that are
racking the craftsmanship OF the
time. 1t must be confessed that up
on these lines his opinions are more
profound and practical than those of
General Black. lie was in fact known
rs something of n tariff reform crank
in the days when Frank Hurd's
speeches in favor OF beating down
trade barriers were looked upon as
inccndiary and communistic.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, Aug. %.
SENATE.

The Senators present at the opening
of to-day's session numbered 2l-less
than half a quorum. The reading OF
Mondays journal was dispensed with;
and Immediately the Vice President
announced his signature to the deli
cheney bill which had previously been
signed by the Speaker of the House.
IL now goes TO the President for his
signature.
The absence of quorum having
been suggested by Mr.. Aldrich the roll
was called. Only 50 Senators answer
ed to their names. The Vice Presi-
dent stated that in the absence of a
quorum no business could be transact
ed and he inquired what was the pleas
ure of the Senate.
"Send for the absentees," Mr.. Gray
suggested in an informal way.
Meanwhile several democratic Sen
ators gathered around Mr.. Harris, the
parliamentary leader on that side, dis
cussing what should be done under the
circumstances, Mr.. Blackburn suggest
ing that the absentees might be as well
sent for to-day as tomorrow.
After f-w minutes motion was
made by Mr.. German that the Senate
do now adjourn. To that motion sew
eral democratic Senators expressed dis
sent, and Mr.. German withdrew it.
Then Mr.. Harris moved that the
Sergeant-at-Arms be directed to request
the attendance of absent Senators; and
that motion was agreed to without a
division.
The Vice President thereupon or
dered the Sergeant.at-Arms to execute
the order of the Senate.
Up to Lbs p. M, only 40 Senators had
responded to the call-90 democrats
and republicans and populists. Sen
ators Jones, of Nevada, and Quay: OF
Pennsylvania. were in the chamber but
withheld their responses until the DEM
ocrats could furnish another man to
complete the quorum.

and Senators Jones and Quay also re-
5ponded, a quorum being thus consti-
tuted.
Then on motion of Mr.. Cockrell the
Senate proceeded to the considera ton

CRIME is becoming so rife in Virginia
that, for the welfare of the State, some
more effective means for its suppression
than those ROW available must be
adopted. Owing to the constitution OF
the State, which can not be changed
without great expense, trial by jury
can not be abolished, but juries can
punish criminals as they please, and if
they would make hogging at the public

possibly to get American troops and

reserves sufficient to make 10000 All
are we'll trained. Even in Japan we
have far more applicants for places to
fight than we require. Our people are
anxious to volunteer, but we do not
need them. The volunteers would be
in the way of the trained troops. Our
people, too, are Offering money to the
government, but we do not need it,
and steadily refuse it. Since my arrival
a number of japanese and others have
offered their services, but ! have ex-

the 200, 900 trained men we have forty

is to move slowly, but it is discovered,

will avail nothing. The people are not
patriotic 1t is Tartar dynasty, and
they do not care if the country does go
