WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. 14.-Stirring
interest was givon to the senate pro-
cccdings OF to-day by tho speeches OF
Senator German, Of Maryland, and
Senator lii, Of New York. on various
phases OF the tariff and financial situa-
ton. At times the debate between the
two distinguished Democratic senators
took OH an added interest from the
keen personal criticism, and satire
directed at each othur. Mr.. German
spoke for two hours. The speech was
mainly remarkable in Its arrayal OF
facts to show that the tariff law which
Mr.. German took so large a part in
framing was wholly insufficient in rails.
ing tho revenue absolutely requisite to
carry on tho government. In present.
ing this view, Mr.. German dwelt on the
personal features OF the contest over
the Wilson bill and arraigned Mr.. Hill
for his attitude then and since, on the
tariff question.
The speech oil Mr.. Hill was equally
personal and equally vigorous, and was
received with the same close attention
from his associates aud intense interest
in the galleries as had been shown TO
the Maryland senator. Mr.. Hill d.
rected his remark, mainly at Mr.. Corr
man, who sat only n few feet away.
Senator Allison, OF Iowa, also con.
tributed to the features Of the day by
short but very effective presentation OF
the need Of thsimmediate legislation on
the tariff to raise revenue instead OF
further iruitlcss agitation OF currency

II is noticeable that the anti.Camdon

AGAINST CLUBS.

Decision of Judge McClnng Respecting
Clubs Selling Liquors.
PlrTsBuRGH, Jan. l4.-Judge McClung
to-day in criminal court made n de-
cided ruling that places all Of the clubs
OF this city who sell liquor to their
members under the ban OF the Brooks
law.
His decision was given in a case
where the president OF regularly
organized club was on trial for violation
OF the license law. The defense was
that the president did not personally
sell any liquor. but the Judge ruled that
the president aud directors OF any club
selling liquor to members or o.hers
wero liable to conviction on that
charge.
II enforced, this decision will prove a
severe blow to many clubs here, and
will ba cited as n precedent for like
cases in other Pennsylvania cities.

The determined attitude OF the otli-

the car to be taken as far as Ninety

damage sustained was few broken

Tho strikors and the women who
gathered with them stood in its path
and threw volley OF stones at the
policemen guarding it, several OF whom
received insignificant wounds. The car
was housed amid scene OF great excite.

Some minutes later Superintendent
Quinn told Police Captain Murphy of
tho Eighth precinct. that no would
order another car to be taken over the

ground that such m action would be ILL.,

another conflict. Quinn maintained
that he had right to do so, and he
would.
Captain Murphy again demurred and
telephoned for, more help, tho result
being that the reserve forces OF the
neighboring precincts were ordered to

The matter was thoroughly discussed
IN the house to-day, occupying the entire
time of both morning and afternoon
sessions. the only attempt made by the
Democratic side being to gain additional
time for Prince by having the commit.
tee report printed in the Journal, thus
delaying final action one or mora anyl.
The facts in the case may be stated as
follows: At one OF the precincts in
Raleigh county, the returns from the
commissioners OF election to the board
OF canvassers showed that Prince re.
ceIred 9S votes and Ford 80 votes.
The certificate as returned had the
number OF vote, cast for each candidate
written and in figures. Tho board OF
canvassers caused the clerks OF election
TO change both words and igures, 40,
as they were written in the certificate,
TO n. as the number OF votes cast for
Ford The only evidence upon which
they assumed to base this change was
the tally sheet returned with tho poll
books, which seemed TO have "A tally
marks instead OF i9. BY making this
change they gave Prince 949 and Ford
.'iS votes in the county. II the votes
had been 'canvasaed and returned BY
the board according to tho sworn re.
turns. Ford would have been entitled
TO tue certificate OF election on the lace
ol the returns. Asa legal propositlon,
he claimed that the board OF canvassers
hat no power under the law and de.
cisions OF the court ofappeals to go be-
hind the sworn returns and change
them upon the slight evidence OF tho
marks on ths tally sheets.
Prince did not demand n recoun. OF
the ballots at the precinct in question,
as he had right to do. The whole
number OF votes cast there was lie.
BY making the change five ballots were
unaccounted for. which supported the
evidence that the certificate giving
Ford 40 votes was right. Upon this
state OF facts and the law. no was en-.
.iIled to the certificate which was given
10 Prince.

Mexican Financial Conditions.

The Me1icGn FIaGa1cier, an able and
reputable financial paper printed at
the City of Mexico, objects most
strongly to having that country held
up as q horrible example Of the evils Of
free coinage. 1t says: "There is a
good deal Of solemn rubbish being
printed In foreign papers about the
adoption of the silver standard as GER
tain to sink the United States to the
level of China and Mexico Now, we
maintain that Mexico can show bet
ter record during the recent hard times
than the favored land of Uncle Sam.
Our railroads did not go into the hands
Of receivers at the rate Of two week;
our banks did not fail; our factories
were actively employed; our cities
were not filled with hungry people out
of work, and bank cashiers were not
running away or committing suicide.
Suppose we should reverse the remark
above quoted and say that it would
pain US to see Mexico adopt gold
standard and sink to the level of cOun-
tries like the United States and Mo-
nRcO,"
