but if/it cannot they will take further time
and all that may be necessary to satisfy
themselves upon the points at issue. SEN
ator Hill takes a passive attitude upon the
question of time. He assures Senator's
whether of the committee or not, that he is
willing to have the committee act forth
with or delay action as long as may seem
proper.
The discussion in committee yesterday
was of the most general character and
quite non-commttal. The points of Judge
Peckham's alleged unjudicial temperament
was touched upon, and some reference to
his age was made, but very little impor-
tance was apparently attached to the latter
objection.
There was some talk during the meeting

! each busy hour of the Legislative morning
py presenting bushels OF petitions from
their constituents protesting against the
passage of the Wilson bill. Senator Sher-
man has, according to a statement made
by him on the fioor of the Senate yesterday,
presented so far upward Of 800 of such Pc
titions. The New England Senator'S es-
pecially those from Massachusetts, have
been very active in presenting memorials
from operatives and mill employees and the
files of the finance committee are rapidly
tiiling Up with these documents. There was
an interesting spat yesterday between Sen
atOr Dolph and Senator Vest, which shows
the tendency of the republicans not only
to present these petitions, but to get as
much of them in the Record as possible
and counter-tendency on the part of the
democrats to exclude this matter from pub
lication.
Mr.. Dolph had a petition from some
workers in a rope walk in Oregon, who
protested against the removal OF duty upon
hemp and binder twine, and he proposed to
read the petition, which was not long, as

within the rules, and claimed that the De-

however, insisted upon a ruling from the
chair, who decided that Mr.. Dolph was not
strictly within the rules that the petitions
shall be presented with merely a brief
statement of their contents ana appropri-
ately referred without debate This of
course choke1 off Mr.. Dolph, who. starting
all over again, made the brief statement
under the rules. Senator Vest took The
hoor at once when Mr.. Dolph sat down,
and set shining example for the reoublI-
can Offenders by presenting a number of
petitions, appropriately indorsed" in the
briefest possible manner.
Notwithstanding these efforts on the part
or the democrats, the republicans daily
manage to get in the Record considera bic
portions Of the petitions sent to them. AS
many of their constituents are supplic5
with copies of the Record, these memoranda
do much more effective work than indiyid-

There was slight delay in the departure
of the L. S. s. Kearsarge from Port au

protect American interests along the Mic
aragua canal, because of the failure of the
officers on the Kearsarge to decipher the
orders to- that effect first telegraphed to
ADMIRAL stanton 1t became necessary to
SEND another telegram. and as nothing has
since been heard from the Kearsarge it Is
supposed that she is now well on her way
across the Caribbean. Nothing has been
heard from Nicaragua since Saturday when
u was reported that the Honduran army
was invading Nicaraguan territory ard
threatening American interests along the
canal.
As to MIR. Smythe.
The departure of the Kearsarge from
