IN THE SENATE


WASHINGTON, May 21.-The senate
had an hour of much excitement with
q resort to obstructive tactics and sew
eral heated personal controversies at
a late hour today. The early portion OF
the session had been given to the rout-
Inc of agreeing on conference reports
on appropriation bills.
At o'clock Mr.. Butler (Pop.. N. CO.
moved to take up his bill prohibiting
the further issue of interest bearing
bonds Mr.. Hill Immediately moved an
adjournment, securing an aye and nay
vote, in order to gain time. The mo-
tion to adjourn was defeated, where
upon Mr.. Chandler followed with a mo-
tion for an executive session. Mr.. Pet
tigrew asked leave to offer a supple
mentary conference report on the In
dian bill. Consent was given. Mr.. Hill
of the report. This was an unexpected
move for delay, as the report was very
voluminous. The presiding officer, Mr..
Faulkner of West Virginia, in the chair.
ruled that Mr.. HilPs demand was reg
ular and directed the clerk to proceed
with the reading of the report.
Senators Butler, Stewart and Allen in
terposed chorus Of protests. Mr.. Allen
said he hoped the senate would not vio-
late every decency and propriety by
these obstructive tactics.
What right have you to the hoor?"
asked MT. Hill bnATply, ADDRESSING Mr.
Allen personally. Then addressing the
chair, Mr. Hill added. HE has no right
to the floor
IT have, too" declared Mr.. Allen. IT
have the right to speak and propose
to do So"
"Others have rights ~ well as you."
responded Mr.. Hill. The tone Of the sem
ator showed feeling.
Mr.. Allen proceeded and said the OBJ
Btruction was manifestly aimed at a
Populistic measure.
IT am glad it is admitted to be Pop
ulistic measure" interjected Mr.. Hill.
Mr.. Butler interposed to state that the
flibuster would have been made against
the bill whether urged by a Populist,
Democrat or Republican, because it pro-
hibited bonds. At this point a very
heated colloquy occurred between Mr..
Hill and Mr.. Allen. The latter had con-
tinued to hold the floor. He spoke with
much feeling. saying he had never
known the spirit of unanimous agree
ment OF the senate to be violated and the
senator who committed such a violation
would regret it.
II would like to know If the senator
refers to me-" said Mr.. Hill, quickly.
There was a momentary silence, owing
to the suggestive tone of Mr. Hills in
quiry.
What does the senator want to know
for?"asked Mr.. Allen. with equal sig
nificance.
'T want to know If the reference is
made to me- replied Mr.. Hill.
II referred to the senator" said Mr.
Allen.
Then desire to say here" answered

Cay. said that with the cooperation Of
Canada and the United States two pro-
fessors of natural history will shortly
proceed to the Bering sea in order to
study the fur sealing industry.
Mr.. Curzon. replying to a further ques-
tion on the subject, said that the reeula-

were in some respects contrary to the
recommendations Of the British commits

Steps. he continued, were being taken

 THREE CONVENTIONS.

Three Democratic State Conven- tions were held yesterday (Wednes- day) as follows: Missouri, Colorado and Washington.
 In all of these States the advo- cates of the free and unlimited coin age of silver had complete control of their respective conyentio1s, and free silver delegates were elected to the National Convention, which meets at Chicago on July 7th.
 In Missouri, the only State in which the opponents of free silver made any determined effort to re- sist the crusade of the silverites, the former were defeated, horse, foot and dragoons, and failed to secure a single delegateat-large. In the Congressional districts, how ever, the sound money advocates jared better. The convention se- leeted two delegates and two alter mates from each of the sixteen Con- gressional districts, out of which number about eighteen are sound money men. Senators Vest and Cockrill, Gov. Stone and exMayor Geo. w. Allen, of St. Louis, were selected delegates t-large.
 In Colorado the convention was unanimous for free silver, and in the afternoon the delegates were ad- dressed by Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, who urged Demo- crats and Republicans alike to bolt their respective National Conven- tions should either or both of the convention fail to declare for free silver.
 In the State Convention of Wash ington an all-day fight was made for silver platform and silver dele gates to the National Convention, which was successful, and silver delegation selected and instructed to vote for free coinage candidate for President.

Spring Song.

When the ash tree buds, and the naples And the osier wands are red, And the fairy sunlight dapples
 Dales where the leaves are spread, The pools are full of spring water, And winters dead. When the bloodroot blows in the tangle. And the 1.-the brooks run, And the violets gleam and spangle The glades in the golden sun, The showers are bright as the sunlight. April has won. When the color is free in the grasses, And the martins whip the mere, And the Maryland yellow throat passes With his whistle quick and clear, The willow is full of catkins
 May Is here.
 Then cut a reed by the river.
 Make song beneath the lime And blow with your lips a-quiver While your sweetheart carols the rhyme The glamour of love, the lyric of life, The springtime, the springtime

Montraai,s Ex-Exhihition.

The mayor of Montreal has issued { card to the public in which he says that the projected British Empire exposition, private enterprise, which was never sanctioned by the city or government, has been abandoned.
 The project of holding all interna. tional exhibition ill 1897 is now under consideration. Meanwhile the public if warned against making any arrange ments for the Montreal international ex. hibition this year, which will certainly not be held.

another essential difference between the two leading candidates for Gov ernor. Harrod can also poll the full vote of his party in the September election, while Jones cannot, which is another point in Harrod's favor.
 In fact, Harrod is an able, more elo- quent and more available man in every particular than Jones, and is
 in every manner deserving of the Democratic nomination for Govern

 HE IS 4 DEMOCRAT.

Chauncey F. Black possesses much of the sterling senee, vigorous character and clear insight into great movements which made his father, Jeremiah s. Black, power ful force in national politics.
 He said in Washington Monday: q believe in popular government. I am opposed to the free coinage of silver. But if majority of my par ty decrees free coinage l am willing to accept it. There is more in De- mocracy for me than the money question.
 Western Democrats will now un- derstand better than ever why MT. Black has been by general consent retained so long as President of the National Association Of Democratic Clubs. He is Democrat by convic- tion, and through all vicissitudes remains a Democrat by fidelity to the permanent principles of the Jeffersonian party.
 He understands the full value Of government by party; and is not moved by the settlements of year to sulking or bolting.
 Mir. Black boldly and distinctly defines his views on the currency; but in the politics of party he places above his own preference the united judgment of the majority regularly expressed The candidates of the party will have his loyal support, and he will trust the masses of the party to settle alright the currency question or any other that is fully debated.
 We commend to all Democrats the cheering words of the Pennsylva- nian, who is a public man and a party leader without being profes- sionally politician. The Chicago Convention will witness Titanic struggle. The forces will be 6ivid- ed almost equally. Great leaders will contend on each side. There will be magnificent displays of ora tory and management. Feeling will be aroused to a degree unknown to the party since 1860. Both sides cannot win. Perhaps the conditions will not permit an acceptable com promise.
 Whether the result favors the Is to coinage men or their opponents, let every Democrat say with the President of the Association of Democratic Clubs: q believe in popular government. I accept as a guide for my political action what a majority of my party decrees. There is more in Democracy for me than the money question "-Repub- lie.

IF Dan Jones should happen to be nominated for Governor, the Pop ulists will doubtless not find it nec- essary to make a nomination this year. The Populist Dollar, edited by Rube CarlLee, at Little Rock, is already claiming Dan Jones as it's own, and upbraids him for advoca- ting Populistic principles under Democratic colors.

EDWARD HINES, ONCE OFFICE BOY,
 NOW LUMBER KING.

In 1878 He Dusted the Desks-In 1896 He Owns His Old Employers Business. Story of Hard Work and Thrift by Chicago Boy.
 Office boy in 1878, millionaire in 1896 That is the record of Edward Hines By deal just carried through, involving over $500, 900, Mr. Hines ab- sorbed the business i'll which he began as an office boy IS years ago. He now controls the largest lumber company in the world.
 It includes blaming mills, steam barges, blocks of docks and yards along the south branch of the Chicago river in the vicinity of Blue Island avenue All the schooling Edward Hines got was i'll the Chicago grammar schools. When he felt he had got pretty fail hold on the three K's, he looked around for job He found one as office boy for the s. K. Martin Lumber company, one of the greatest firms ill the business.
 Eddie, as they called him, kept his eyes open from the start He made up his mind he was going to master the principle of buying what some man wants to sell and selling to the man that wants to buy. He also made it rule to save a certain part of his pay, and he stuck to it.
 He soon secured thorough grasp ot the lumber business, and his service be- came invaluable to the company. He was promoted successively to be clerk, bookkeeper, foreman, superintendent est position ill the gift of the company. Meanwhile he had practiced the pre- cepts of Poor Richard, {" and his say ings amounted to snug sum.
 When he became manager, he tried to buy stock in the copmany. The firm s policy was against giving employees any interest but because Hines was such capable young man they made an exception and sold him few shares. This was shortsighted on their part. The few shares did not make him feel as if he were partner, and he wanted to be working for his own business.
 The most surprised man in Chicago was s. K Martin when he woke up one morning and learned that MT. Hines had resigned and organized rival com pany. Not only that, but MT. Hines took with him several other important employees of the old company. They combined their capital, secured credit and the Edward Hines Lumber compa- ny at once launched into business.
 It was a success from the beginning The new company secured docks and yards under the shadow of the old com pany's plant. A keen rivalry sprang up, but on Aug 19, 1894, the & K Martin company lost $500, GOO by fire, and the Hines company forged ahead. The strug- gle continued until recently, when in consideration of sum reported to be over $500, 900 the Martin company was absorbed by the Hines company There is now no Martin compa- ny It is all Hines In 1895 the concern shipped 150, 193, BOT feet of lumber, which breaks all records for shipments by single firms. The office boy who attended to business is now the greatest lumber dealer i'll the world New York World
