SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
The Alabama Election Case Dis
posed of

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The resolu-
ton for the appointment of a select
committee to investigate last years
election in the State of Alabama, and
to report whether a republican form of
government exists in that State, came
up to-day in the Senate, Allen of Ne
braska making motion that the Senate
proceed to its consideration. There were
only six votes in favor of the motion
two from the Populists, Senators Allen
and PETER and four from Republican
Senators, Chandler, Frye. Gallinger
and Morrell. The votes against 1t num-
bered forty-one.
Allen saw in the result of the vote a
proof of the insincerity Of Republican
Senators, but Sherman of Ohio justified
himself and his Republican colleagues
on the ground that the question was one
to come before the Senate at the next
session, not at this; and that as to the
general election in Alabama, whether
fraudulent or not the Senate had no
right to inquire into it, unless it affects
the election of a Senator.
Chandler of New Hampshire, who
voted for the motion, said that under
other circumstances, when there was no
appropriations directly before the Sen
ate, the resolution would receive the
support of a large number if not all the
Senators on the Republican side.

themselves without any equivocation
on the principles of religious freedom
which underlie our Constitution.
Catholics are devoted to both the
great political parties, in which the
individual is left entirely to his own
conscience. We are proud to say that
in the long history of the Government of
the United States the Catholic Church
has not been used or perverted its
acknowledged power by seeking TO
make politics subserve its own ad-
vancement. Moreover, 1t is our proud
boast that we have never interfered
with the civil and political rights Of any
who differ from us in religion. We de-
mand the same rights for ourselves, and
nothing more, and will be content with
nothing less
Not only is it the duty of all parties
distinctly to set their faces against the
false and unamerican principles thrust
forward of late, but much as 1 would
regret the entire Identification of any
religious body as such with any po-
Htical party, / am convinced that the
members of a religious body whose
rights, civil and religious, are attacked
will naturally and unanimously espouse
the cause of the party which has the
courage openly to avow the principles
of the civil and religious liberty &C
cording to the Constitution. Patience is
virtue, but it is not the only virtue.
When pushed too far it may degenerate
into pusillanimity. Yours faithfully,

A TOWN BURNING.
Destructive Fire at Wareton, New
JERSEY.

TOMS RIVER On. J.), May 1S-Word
was received in this place this after
noon that the town of Wareton, Ocean
County, was burning. The news that
the town was on fire came from the
telegraph operator in the railroad sta
ton, who summoned assistance. A
special train started from Manchester,
taking volunteer firemen from that
place and Toms River.
The fire was started by locomotive
sparks setting fire to the woods around
the town. The blaze spread until all
Wareton was surrounded, and then the
local residents, seeing they could not
control the flames, decided to summon
assistance.
The latest news received here was to
the effect that the fire was burning
fercely, and it looked as though the
whole town would be destroyed. The
fire will render many families home
less.
The volunteers from the surrounding
towns have made arrangements to
care for the families who will lose their
places of business and homes.

The convention closed with a public

sided over by Congressman Linton.
AT meeting of delegates to the Su-
preme Council representing twenty diff
ferent States, held this evening after the
council adjourned, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were adopted
unanimously:
Whereas, The Supreme Council Of the
A. P. A. of the United States at it's SEES
sions Saturday evening by unanimous
vote adopted the report Of the National
Advisory Board, which report Endorsed
the action of the Executive Committed
of said board and in plain language
said that the Executive Committee was
justified in publishing the political affili-
alton of Mckinley with the Roman po-
litical hierarchy, which utilization is
proven by the affidavits Of reputable
members of the order, and which affi-
davits have never been controverted ex-
cept by the unsworn statement Of Major
Mckinley himself; and whereas, Major
Mckinley did on May IA, 1896, to a
committee Of the National Advisory
Board in the city of Canton, Ohio, state
that he heartily approved the principles
Of the American Protective Association,
and on the following day gave an in
terview to the press denying that he had
met such a committee, thus giving the
lie to the report Of the committee, which
was composed of honorable and truthful
gentlemen; and whereas, the members
of the Supreme Council have, during its
session, been bounded and badgered by
a large Mckinley lobby, composed of
members and non-members of the order,

Council into a Mckinley ratification
meeting, and having signally failed to
clear Mckinley in consequence of his
pro-papal political record, to-day, after
two-thirds of the delegates had started
for home, attempted to take revenge
by abolishing the National Advisory
Board, and accomplished the same by a
vote of 80 to %;
Resolved, That we, the delegates in
condemnation meeting assembled, de-
nounce the unwarranted interference
of the said Mckinley lobby with the af-
fairs of the order, and denounce the de-
NAL by Mckinley of his Endorsement OF
the principles Of the order given by him
to our committee; and
Resolved, That because Of his record
| as reported by the National Advisory
Board, we herewith pledge ourselves to-

KILLING OF MRS. LANGFELDT
The Police Have Not Yet Run Down
the nurderer.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1S-In spite
of the efforts of the police to capture
the murderer of Mrs. Philopena Lang
feldt, whose throat was cut in her
apartments, 1925 Geary street, last Fri
day night, the criminal is still at large.
The supposed murderer. ]. E. Blanther,
had at least twelve hours the start of
the detectives.
Saturday morning Blanther met his
friend, George Dodge, at the Mer-
chants Exchange building. They went
to Oakland together and parted at
Fourteenth street. Dodge says Blan-
Their was In high spirits. They talked
upon theosophy and kindred topics
Dodge stated to the police that Blan-
Their wore a glove on his left hand The
circumstance Of the glove is important,
for 1t is believed by the police that
in the struggle Blanther's hand was
cut.
Blanther roomed at S22 Geary street
He has not returned to his lodgings
since early Saturday morning when he
left to meet George Dodge.
The room was searched yesterday
and in a satchel the police found q
bIoodstained night shirt
The statement published this morn
ing that the detectives had recovered
the stolen rings from pawn shop turns
out to have been made without founda-
ton.
Although Blanther has had plenty OF
money to get out of the way, the detec-
tives do not believe he went very far
In fact, they believe Blanther came
back to San Francisco after leaving
Dodge in Oakland, and that he is in
hiding in this city. Acting upon that
theory, detectives are watching all OF
the places that Blanther Is known tc
have frequented. and Captain Lees
feels very confident that he will soon
have the murderer in the tanks

CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT.
The Fourth Section Construed by the
u. S. Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The fourth
section of the Chinese Exclusion Act of
1892 was construed by the Supreme
Court to-day, the opinion being read
by Justice Shiras. The question in
volved was whether or not Chinese
person adjudged not entitled to be
within the limits of the United States
may be sentenced to imprisonment for
q year at hard labor, and at the expira-
ton of that limit deported by United
States Commissioner, or whether 1t
must be done in accordance with the
law.
Wing Wang and other Chinese ar
rested in Michigan under the law were
thus sentenced by the United States
Commissioner before who they were ex-
amined. and they appealed to the Fed
eraI Court for the Eastern District Of
Michigan for release on writs of habeas
corpus. That court refused to release
them and they came to the Supreme
Court.
Justice Shiras said they could not be
disposed of in that manner, and the
Judgment of the Circuit Court was re-
versed, without prejudice to the right
to hold and deport the appellants in
accordance with the law.

HE MADE A FOOL OF HIMSELF

D. Crawford of st. Louis, who
discharged some twelve of his clerks
for political reasons, has repented,
and offers to take them back, aud
let them vote for whom they
please.
His exposure was made last Sun
day by the Post Dispatch, and that
paper roasted him to a kings taste.
The St. Louis Republic came to Mr..
D. Crawford's rescue, and made
several attempts at denial for the
big merchant prince, but the evi-
dence of twelve trustworthy men,
stood against him, and there was
no denial.
The silver democrats of St. Louis
felt outraged at the action of this
political merchant, and they made
up purse to prosecute him and
put him in the penitentiary, where
the law of Missouri says all such
men on conviction shall be placed.
Mr.. Crawford saw striped suit and
shaved head staring him in the
face, and repented quickly, and in
an open letter says in part:
/ have invited dill of the men to
return to my store and to occupy
their former several positions with
