IN TIT E SENATE.
Immigration Bill and Proposition to Elect
 Senators by Popular Vote Discussed.

Immigration Bill and Proposition fo Elect Senator's by Popular Vote Discussed. Washington, Dec. 14.-In the senate to-day at o'clock, when the morning
 hour closed, the immigration bill came up as the unfinished business.
 MT. Mitchell, rep, of Oregon, sug-
 gested that preference be given to the
 joint resolution providing for the elec- tion of United States senators by the people, instead of by state legisla- lures.
 MT. Chandler, rep, of New Hamp- shire. characterized that proposition as
 "populistic" and said that at the late election Mckinley republicans, silver republicans, Bryan democrats and Pal
 mer-Bucl1ner democrats had all voted
 against popuiist schemes" He advised the senator from Oregon to "drop the | whole thing" MT. Mitchell resented the charscteri- zatioa of the proposition as popullstic, and reminded 15r. Chandler that the joint resolution lad been reported from a committee of which the majority was composed of republicans. MT. Chandler hunorously ascribed | that fact to the seductive influence of the senator from Oregon" and said that the proposition was wholly and utterly vicious"
 l MT. Mitchell gave notice that he | would move to proceed to the consider ation of the joint resolution at the ear | Hest opportunity.
 The immigration bill then went over on account of the absence of MT. Gib- son. dem., of Maryland, but with the agreement that vote on it's passage
 would be taken next Thursday at 1 o'clock.
 The amendments of the house to the senate bill relating to the tax on alco- hol used in manufacture and the arts were disagreed to and sent to a con- l ference committee-Senators Plat, rep, of Connecticut, Aldrich, rep, of Rhode Island, and Jones. dem, of Arkansas, being appointed conferees on the part of the senate.
 The senate then took up the pension calendar and passed fifty-five private
 pension bills-nearly all of them for
 increases of pension.
 Then after short executive session
 the senate at 3:30 adjourned until to- ] morrow.

to demand an end of the campaign of murder and destruction in that island,
 Mindful of the help which our fa- thers received in similar struggle we are constrained by a sense of gratitude to return to Cuba the kindness which was so effectively given to us.
 Tt is apparent to all thoughtful ob- servers that Spain has not the power to crush the Cuban patriots, and there fore, the continuance of the cruel struggle in Cuba can only serve to pro- long a sense of abasement and humilia- ton in the minds Of all men who are confident that this republic has the power to end it. and it is in honor call ed upon to do sQ for the highest good of all the parties directly concerned"
 This call was signed by all of the men above named. Other prominent signatures attached to it were those of General P. Clayton, A B. Hepburn, S. B. Butcher, General Christensen, Collis P. Huntington, General S. l.. Wood ford, Colonel William Brown, General MeMahon, Hon. Noah Davis, Warner Miller, General Howard Carroll and Alonzo B. Cornell.
 Colonel Allen said that the Spaniards had departed from the path of honora- ble war. and had become murderers and assassins, if the reports of General Maceo's horrible death were true.
 We want to intlame the patriotism and honor of our people," said Colonel Allen, into a torch that will kindle the honest effort of every liberty-lov- ing American. so that this horrible butchery shall cease. and the independ- ence of the island of Cuba be an estab- lished fact"
 A monster mass meeting will be held in Cooper Union next Monday night, when Senator Morgan of the foreign relations committee and Congressman Hit of the same committee of the house, Congressman Reed of Maine and Senator Cullom of Illinois will speak.

 New York, Dec. 14.-About 25O0 peo- pie attended the Mace Donovan bene- fit at the Broadway Athletic club to- night. In addition to the eX-heavy weight champion of the world and the one time American middle-Weight champion, host of other bygone stars were in evidence. The sceience of the present day was well represented by James J. Corbett. Among the specta- tors were men we'll known in the high CT walks of life, who were present to show their appreciation of the manly art.
 The fun commenced with a three round bout between Charley Norton and Dan Keefe of Newark Jim Hall, the Australian, and Pete Burns of Harlem gave lively "go," which pleased the crowd immensely. The veterans George Rooke and John Don aldsOn, were the next pair. They smiled as they played at ''jab and counter" for three one-minute rounds, and got a, great ovation. A trenlen- dous burst of applause greeted John L. Sullivan as he was announced to make a short speech. He received another ovation as he retired.
 Billy Edwards, the ex-lightweight champion, and Arthur Chambers Of Philadelphia then spared three rounds. Chambers was quite fat, but Billy was down fine. They didn't bother about the gong, but sat down when they were tired, and three rounds were more than 1z1@ |, colored heavyweight from Chicago, was pounds heavier and inches taller than Tommy Kelly of Hoboken, and the latter had a hard time to keep away for three rounds. Barney Aaron and Dooney Harris followed. George Dixon was heartily cheered when he was introduced, as was also "Kid' Lavigne. Neither would make the loudly required speech.
 A great reception was accorded to Corbett as he came into the ring to box three rounds with Jim McVey, his sparring partner Corbett looked in good shape. He was as lively as a kit ten and gave g. beautiful exhibition of science
 Mace and Donovan entered the ring at 10:30. Parson Davies was master of ceremonies. The veterans had on long white trousers and were stripped above the belt. Parson Davies an- nounced that there would be no de- Cision, as the set-to was to be q scien- tific exhibition of a friendly nature Donovan was very active on his feet and danced around the old English man, tapping him lightly on the face and body with open gloves. Mace, de- spite his years, was quick and used his left we'll Tn the second round Mace took out his false teeth and threw then to his second. In the third Mace showed his left in straight d couple Of times and Mike sent a pretty hot one to the jaw w.They did some lively tap ping in the last round ard the old fel- lows looked to be in earnest for a sec ond. When Parson Davies called time they shook hands and there were loud cries of 'draw,'' draw"
 A ten-round bout at 115 pounds be- tween Jimmy Rose and Jack McXeck, two local boxers, wound up the pro- ceedingS McKeck got the decision.

Permission to Bridge d Harbor

The Consolidated Railroad company has received permission from the war department to bridge the upper part of the hGrbor of Bridgeport, Conn.,. at a place a few hundred feet south Of the present structure. It is probable, how ever, that the tracking Improvement will not be begun for some time, the reason of the delay being not so much the pending suit of Bridgeport parties against the plan, as the other large and costly improvements which the com pany is pushing through on other parts of the system.

 The purpose of the conferences in to secure expressions of opinion from the different members respecting schedules and the advisability of changing them The first consideration will be to con- slider the amount of the treasury deficit for the next fiscal year, and to meet this, if possible, without any further in- crease of duty than is needed to pro- tect home industries. During the re- cess several members of the committee will be out of the city so that the con- ferences will be limited to the half doz- en or so who remain.
