 has made you (still addressing the repub- lican senators) take step which will en- able you to throttle legislation. But you have taken the responsibility-meet it as we did in the last congress when we had only a majority of one."
 MT. Hoar asked MT. German if he could suggest a simple measure of doc Urine or principle which it was in the power of the republican senators to pass without the aid of democratic votes.
 That is true" MT. German admitted. s'I admit it. But the senator from Massa- chusetts knows as well as I do that when you take possession of every great com mttee, putting the democrats in a minor- ity on all of them save one, you put yourselves in position to affirm legis- 1ation or to stop legislation. It is the re- Sponsibility of the ma jority that you as- sume. If you had carried out the idea Suggested by the resolution of last ses- Sion-making liberal concessions on both sides-you would have been able to bring Together the better fought of the sen ate, so that men wh had the best inter- ests of the country at heart would have controlled the committees. I think we would have had better legislation than i've will have now. when the great finance jcommittee is, by the action of republican isenators, controlled by the populist par fy."
 Finally the debate came to an end, and
 
 olution, which went over till tomorrow, providing for a recess from tomorrow till Tuesday January 2.
 And then, after an executive session, the senate, at 4:50, adjourned until to- morrow.
 The senate executive committee refus- ed to pass the joint resolution introduced by MT. Cockrell providing for an ad- 5ournment from tomorrow until January z. After the confirmation of large number of nominations against which objections had been made, the matter came up on the suggestion of MT. Hill of New York and MT. Berry of Arkansas, both of whom said that they thought the congress, in view of the message of the president, ought not to take a recess flor any length of time. Mir Hill made a speech in which he went over much of the ground of his speech the other day. TIe called upon his associates to stay here and endeavor to pass some legisla- tion that would give the treasury relief MT. Hill was reminded that nothing the president had asked could be got through the senate and it was nonsense to ask the senate to stay and make an effort ito do what everybody knew was impos- sible. In view, however, of the objec- tions that had been raised, MT. Cockrell withdrew his resolution.

of the arbitrary line drawn by the mayor. Won't 1t be just as easy for the police to watch the saloons across the alley? How does that strike you?"
 A voice-Not at all. There's no reason in it.
 "No reason in the statement that an officer can keep a saloon just across an alley under surveillance?
 Why. of course. he can. The mayors recommendation is arbitrary" MT. White addressed his speech to the hard ships that would fall on the saloon men and the loss of revenue to the city.
 Attorney l.. c. Dickey followed with an earnest protest on behalf of his clients.
 The question was called for, but the mayor called Alderman Jones to the chair and spoke in favor of the recom- menda tion.
 Alderman Jones returned to his desk when the mayor had concluded and offer ed his minority report as a substitute for the question before the board. The mo- tion was seconded by Alderman Jackson. Before it went to the board Alderman McCartin spoke against the adoption of the minority report He prefaced his re- marks by stating that personally he would vote for prohibition, but deemed the adoption of the minority report an injustice to the saloon men.
 The following order of votes was taken from the board:
 Yeas-Mayor VanHoose, Aldermen Enslen, Jackson, Gillespie, Meade, Simms and Jones.
 B Nays-Aldermen McCartin, Mcknight, Ward Harrington, Pearce and Parker.
 The resolution is as follows: move that we concur in the recom- mendation of the mayor with the follow ing alterations: That the line be extend- ed south on Thirteenth street to Alley A, thence south of said alley to Seventeenth street, thence south on Seventeenth street to Alley c, to east side of Twenty third street, thence north on Twenty third street to Alley A. thence up Alley A to Twenty-seventh street, thence north on Twenty-seventh street to north side of Second avenue, thence west on Second avenue to Twenty-sixth street, thence south to First alley, thence to Twenty sixth street, thence to mayors lines. Three months license will be given the saloons to get inside the territory.

The principal negotiations will proceed in Berlin for per cent bonds, issued at about par. The London firms taking part in the syndicate include the promi- nent American bankers here. It is doubt full whether a public issue will be made by the syndicate, all depending upon the view which President Cleveland may take about the issue price.

MR.. EDMUNDS' VIEWS
Does Not See How Belligerent Rights Can
Be Accorded the Oubans
The Time May Soon Come When This
: May BE Done-OppOsed to
Annexation.

Ex-senator Edmunds, who Is in Wash
irgton today, says that he does not see
how this country can, under the present
existing circumstances, accord belligerent
rights to the Cubans however much We
may sympathize with their struggle for
liberty. There might at any time arise
situation which would admit of this recog-
rition, but at present we would not be
justified in such a course.
Caution in Former Times.
When the, Spanish-Amercan republics
were struggling for their independence
from Spain, about the time when the So
called Monroe doctrine was formed, he
says we did not feel that we could grant
them belligerent rights, though we had
better excuse for it than has yet be IN fur
nished in the case of Cuba.
Again, we grunbed about the action of
England and other European governments
recognizing the confederates as beliiger-
ents during the war of the rebellion.
though the confederacy had an established
government and occupied a considerable
part of this country, controlling ports and
having al established seat of government
At present Cuba is without seat Of gov
ernment and the rebellion has not advanced
to that point where We can give 1t recogni-
ton.
He did not mean to express any hostility
or lack of sympathy with Cube, but dealt
merely with the present SltudtlOil he
conditions might arise, he said, within
short time when it would be different, and
then belligerent rights would have to be
accorded regardless of the matter of popu-
lar sympathy with the rebels
Opposed to Annexation.
Speaking of the question of annexation,
the Senator said that he was opposed to
n,alsirg Cuba a part of this country, as he
was to the annexation of Hawaii. Sooner
or later if annexed the islands would have
to be admitted as states, and he Gid rot
think that the mass Of their people mad ad-
vanced far enough TO make it desirable that
they should be represented in the United
States Senate on an equality with the states
of the Union.
Their politics would be dominated by the
comparatively small class of intelligent and
rich planters, without respect to the ma
jority Of the citizens, or else the control
would fall TO the dominant class, which
was not up to our standard of citizenship
In either event, he did not think it would
be desirable. The question of recognizing
the Cubans as bell.gerents he said, was
however, entirely independent of that of
annexation.

THE CONSULAR BUREAU.
Gossip as to Why II New Chief is Not
Appointed.

The office of chief of the consular bureau
of the State Department, which was va
Gated several weeks ago by the transfer of
Mr.. Faiscn to the Office of solicitor Of The
State Department. still remains untitled.
The delay in the matter has given rise to
the report that it is being held open for
Mr.. Robert S. Chiffon of this city, tem-
pcrarily stationed at Erzeroum. Mr.. Chill
ton is Il clerk in the consular bureau md
was sent to Erzeroum to establish a CON
sulate in accordance with an act of the
last Congress. He has practically com
pleted his mission and would return home
at once but for the disturbed state OF the
Armenian country. Mr.. Chiffon was pri-
vate secretary to Vice President Morton
and was subsequently chief clerk OF the
State Department, giving way to the in
cumbent, Mr.. Renick. 1t is said that
Secretary Olney has selected him for the
bureau vacancy, but the report can hot be
confirmed at the department. MIR. Van
Syne, law clerk in the solicitors Office,
stands high in the secretary's esteem and
some people think he is more likely to be
appointed to the vacancy than Mr. Chiffon.
There is no certainty, however, that either
of the gentlemen named will receive the
appointment.
