In the Senate Mr.. Allen moved that

up. The Senators who voted aye we're

that there was no sincerity on the Repub-

favor of an Investigation into the

join the Democrats in defeating the reso-

= Mr.. Sherman said the Senator from
Nebraska entirely misapprehended the
motives which guided a number of
Republican Senators in voting against
the motion. The question was one to
come before the Senate at the next
session, not this one. As to the general
or not the Senate has no right to inquire
into it unless it affected the election
of Senator.
Mr.. Chandler said that under the cir

large number, if not all the Senators on

SPECIAL DAYS FOR SPECIAL BILLS
Orders To Be Reported to the House by
Committee on Rules

Washington, May 18.-The House COM
mittee On rules agreed today to report d
special order setting aside today and
Tuesday for the consideration of oil i'm
migration bills on the calendar. The or
der specifically applies to the Mccall
bill, but 1T is intended that the Stone and
Corllss bills may be offered as amend
ments. The Mccall bill provides the
educational test for immigrants. The
Stone bill requires consular inspection of
intsnded immigrants. The Corliss bill
estops foreigners from coming to this
country and engaging in mechanical pur-
suits with no expectation Of coming
citizens.
1t is expected the committee on rules
will bring in another order Wednesday,
setting aside that day for the co nsidera-
tion Of bills reported from the labor COM
mittee. The remainder of the week will
doubtless be occupied with the several
election cases now on che calendar and to
be reported within the next few days.

LAW is CONSTITUTIONAL.
States May Require Railroads to Furnish
Separate Compartments for Colored
and White Races.

Washington, May 1s.-The Supreme
Court today, in the opinion read by
Justice Brown, sustained the constitu-
tionality of the law of Louisiana, requ-
iring railroads of the state to provide
separate cars for white and .coloEed
passengers. There were no interstate
commerce features in the case for the
railroad upon which the incident oc-
CURED, giving rise to the case, Plessy vs.
Ferguson. The East Louisiana railroad
was and is, operated wholly within the
state. The opinion states that by anal
ogy to the laws Of Congress and many
states, requiring the establishment OF
separate schools for the children Of the
two races, and other similar laws, the
statute in question was within the COM
petency Of the Louisiana legislature. ex-
ercising police power of the state. The
Supreme court Of the state, upholdlng
the law, was affirmed.
Mr.. Justice Harlan announced very
vigorous dissent, saying that he saw
nothing but mischief in all such laws In
his view or the case no power IL the
land had q right to regulate the ENJOY
ment of the civil rights upon the basis
of peace. 1t would be just as reasonable
and proper. he said, for states to pass
laws requiring separate cars to be fur
nished for Catholics and Proeestants, or
for descendants Of those of the Teutonic
race and those of the Latin race.

streets.
Exploding barrels of gasolene drove
the firemen out Of the burning building.

men and citizens prevented the confagra-
tion from being much more disastrous.
Large pieces of live coal, blown from
the roofs of burning houses were carried
half way across the peninsular, setting
fire to everything against which they
lodged. The cottage on the Samuel Rus
sell estate was the last to catch fire,
nearly quarter of a mile from the his
toric Longfellow house which was the
first burned.
NO houses to the leeward Of the Russell
cottage are between it and the water.
1t is undoubtedly owing to this that
the fire did not spread further. It
burned itself out for the lack Of more
material in that direction. The cottages
were: The Longfellow cottage, where
the poet spent his summers many years
and where the s"Bels Of Lynn" was
written, owned by Miss Alice Longfel-
low, daughter of the poet, and valued
at SIS, 600; two buildings on the Green es
tate, owned by Charles r. Green of New

and Cunningham cottages, the first
owned by the wife of Hon. Geo. Duncan.

and $40, 600. The Russell cottage was
valued at $50. 900. Several other cottages
Is all insured. The fire started in the
yard of the Longfellow cottage. It is
supposed to have been occasioned by 8
spark from the pipe of carpenter or
painter. A number of valuable paintings
in the Russell cottage were burned.
