The Alabama Senators Protest.

Senator Allen of Nebraska yesterday al
ternoon concluded a two days speech at
lacking the recent elections in Alabama
In which he declared that the kolb or
popul;st ticket had been legally chosen.
At the close of his remarks Senator Nor
gan read a protest against the proceed
irgs in the Senate by himself ana cox
Ice que Senator Pugh, characterizfng the
speech as "a clear abuse of the parla-
nentary law in disregard Of the urgent
necessities of the public business and In a
eratuitous assault upon the rights or
Alabama as a state of the Union and up
on the character Of our government and
people"
They said the fact that seats In the
House of Representatives are being con-
tested should prevent the Senate from
any interference in that matter under the
ccnmonest instincts of prcpriety. Ihey
also claim that the Senate cannot inVes-
ticate the election of the governor under
anv circumstances, and that they are
barred from such an Investigation OF the
election Of the legislature. They assert
Senator Aliens charges are made up on
the hearsay evidence of men who expect
the reward Of office.
I'VE, as her representatives, they said,
decline on our part TO bring Alabama be-
fore the Senate upon such accusations or
to make answer to them In the form or
manner in which they are presented, and

test against this unprecedented wrong ana

SCOTS Emulsion of Cod-liver
Oil and Hypophosphites is so
useful in all wasting diseases,
such as Consumption, Anamia,
Scrofula, Rheumatism, Bron-

AN UNUSUAL PHENOMENON.
Washington Had n Parlelion on View
This Morning.

Washington saw a parhelion at o'clock
this morning. This phenomenon in usual
parlance is termed sundog and is pecu-
liar to more northerly latitudes than that
of Washington. The parhelion in question
was exceedingly brilliant and was observed
by thousands of people. The sky was hazy
and presented a duh, milky appearance
The outer circle had radius of about 80
degrees, the sun occupying the center of
the circle. The inner edge of the circle
was red and well defined and the outer
edge was not so well defined. The sky
within the halo was much darker than it
was for distance of several degrees with
out the halo. The light. as is always the
case in parhelia, was polarized in the direc-
ton Of tangent to the circumference
proving that the light had suffered refrac-
ton. This halo was formed by the refrac-
ton of the light of the sun through tie
crystals Of ice floating in the atmosphere
The simplest form of an ice crystal Is a
right prism whose SECTION is regular
hexagon and terminated by two bases per-
pendicular to the edges of the prism. When
a ray Of light passes through a prism it
is deviated toward the base Of the prism
prism in which the deviation is the least
possible. When halo is formed round the
sun a white light may be seen passing
through the sun parallel to the horizon
This parhelic circle Is produced by the re-
Election of the suns light from Ice prisms
or snow crystals whose surfaces have a
vertical position. When the air is tran
quill the fakes Of snow which are present
in the atmosphere descend slowly to the
earth, and they tend to assume that posi-
ton in which they experience the least
resistance from the air. Near those points
where halos cut the parheic circle there is
double cause Of light, and here the illu-
mination is sometimes so great as to pre-
sent the appearance of a mock sun. This
is what Washngtonans saw this morning
Parhelia are generally red the side
which is toward the sun, and they some-
times have prolongation in the form Of
rection comedies with that of the horizon
tai circle. At Falls Church arc of a
colored circle was observed, touching the
halo at its highest point. These arcs, with
far northern parts.

Gen. Carr on Statehood for New
Mexico.

MeAlcO
To the Editor of The Evening Stars
Here in the interest Of southwestern
growth 1 have met the statement, made by
republican Senators, that their friends in
New Mexico are not anxious for the admis-
sion of that territory to statehood. The
more progressive inhabitants" Of Spanish
descent you cannot call them Citizens"
till they receive the franchise, although
they and their ancestors have lived in
America longer than most Of those from
farther north and east and of fairer COM
pleXions) are In favor of statehood This
may be said of the majority of the Ameri-
cans, also, although long delay and diSap-
pointment may have somewhat dulied their
ardor.
Why should New Mexico remain a sa-
trapy of the general government after be-
longing to the United States for nearly
fifty years? 1t has s5OO00,OOO worth of
taxable property, 7e,394,363 acres of land.
three great railroads and a number of
branch lines, population Of nearly 100000,
and would, If admitted be entitled to two
representatives after the next census. 1t
has university, an agricultural college,
several collegiate seminafies, male, female
and mixed There are number of normal
high and graded schools with an enrolled
attendance of %, 70S. The territory has
many churches. In Albuquerque there are
half dozen churches, with three banks,
five or six hotels and two newspapers.
Among those towns with Spanish names
many have a large American populat ion.
Albuquerque more than half total about
10000, with university, military college,
large Indian school and high school, with
accomplished American presidents and pro-
fessors, besides the graded schools. All
the railroad towns have American settle
ments growing up about their stations, and
most of the business is conducted by Amer
leans. Santa Fee, the capital, has been
dominated by Americans for many years,
as is well known. l would not be under
stood to deprecate the Spanish population.
Many are full Of intelligence, energy and
push. There are some low-grade criminals,
but the great mass Of the people, although
taking things easy, as becomes their blood,
and giving occasion for calling it the land
of POGO tempo" and "manana," are hon
est, industrious. economical. pious and
moral. They elected last fall an American
republican to Congress.
Now,can't the Senators give us chance?
1t will take but a few minutes to pass the
bill, which must go back to the House for
concurrence in amendments. They have
admitted Utah, which had q smaller popu-
lation, more alien and bigoted and with
fewer good-sized towns.
