ATTACKING THE BOND ISSUE
Senators Severely Criticise the Admins
tration.
Mr. Lodge Causes Something of a
SensatiOn-Mr. WOlcOtt's
Declarations.

The attack upon the administration on
account of the bond contract, which was
made in the Senate today, was much more
direct than anything that was said in the
House Thursday. Wolcott's direct state
ment that the President had attacked the
credit of the country; that he had tried to
blacken the credit of the country; that he
had befouled our own nest, and that the
contract entered into privately was dis
honest, went far beyond anything that was
said in the House. as severe as was the
criticism there of the administration.
MIR. Lodges DenuncintiOn.
Still more severe was the calmer denun-
citation INDUCED in by Mr.. Lodge, who re-
peated the declaration that the recent sale
of bonds below market price was an attack
upon the national credit, and that the con-
tract made in secret was a disgrace.
Additional severity was given to Mr..
Lodges criticism by the fact that he urged
this alleged attack upon the national credit
as a reason why Congress should at once
come to the rescue by declaring that the
government should meet it's obligations in
gold-that is bonds and notes should all be
payable in the best money there is. This
speech coming from such man as Lodge,
and being delivered deliberately, evidently
made deep impression. as showing how
far the disapproval of the method Of the
bond issue has gone.
That these denunciations of the President
should be permitted to pass without any
one rising to his defense was regarded as a
remarkable indication of the spirit of the
Senate.
To Prevent the Bond Issue.
Some speculation was excited by the dec
laration by Mr. Wolcott that the bond con-
tract would not be carried out. 1t Is said
that there is under contemplation an at
tempt to prevent the bonds contracted for
being delivered.
10 accomplish this by resolution has
been repeatedly suggested, but that is not
practicable, as ii would not be permitted
to come to a vote. Another proposition is
that the assistance of the courts be in
voked to restrain the Secretary of the
Treasury from delivering the bonds at a
rate below the market price. Upon what
junction could be maintained is not dis

THE SHANTY GONE.
"Paddy" Burns Famous Cookie and
Spruce Beer House Torn Down.

After battling the storms of many
year, paddy Burns rare com oination
of restaurant and cottage has dlsap-
peared from the southeast end of the
bridge, near the "Three Ones" station.
The usual travellers over the bridge, TO
whom il has been familiar for so many
years, can scarcely realize that it is no
more, but such is the fact, for only few
bits of the wooden foundation, a lew old
newspapers, some OF them very Celtic In
their nature, alone mark the place where
the building stood.
1t was hard for the owner and proprie-
tor of the establishment to bow to the In
evitable march OF improvement which
the city is setting the line of on the
south end of Canal street The night
before last some linemen were removing
wires close 10 the old structure, and one
of them accidentally endangered the
safety of a blind and he was cautioned
10 be very careful and not hurt the "cot-
tage.n
But yesterday the humble building was
pulled down for IL had TO go, even as
did the Grosvernor Palace and as well
as other one-time glories of the city.
Still there was something pathetic about
even the end of the old mans spruce
beer and cookie depot, for Ii was taken
down by friendly hands, and the most OF
it carted away by those who knew well
Its owner, and can tell many pleasant
story about him.
The restaurant part OF the business was
not conducted with any pretence at
style Ii was not exactly dairy lunch,
nor was ii place that the most fearless
temperance advocate could object 10.
Many a rough. hard-worker has pur-
chased scanty, but hunger-stopping
meal there, given with which was some
dry remark by he, who was head waiter,
pan,ry man and everything else that was
required. There was but one day in the
old times that Paddy was not alone in
his glory and that was the Fourth OF July
Middle-aged men can recall the sandwich
stands, mostly kept by colored men and
women, on the national holiday, along
the bridge and sidewalks near the Provi-
dence aud Worcester depot. But Paddy
saw this opposition TO him practically
die away within the past few years.
II is understood by his former patrons
that owing to his advancing years Mr.
Burns will not again engage in business
and has gone to live with his sisters, who
have enough OF the worlds goods to
keep him from want, though some we'll
informed people say Paddy had neat
bit put away for his latter days. At any
rate, the old shanty is gone, and II will
have no successor, at least for few years
TO come.
