said he. They are the advocates OF dis
order and scandal. The Populist party
thrives on scandal. Their main purpose is
10 throw mud at the Democratic and Re-
publican parties. And the time has come,
declared Mr.. Hill, "for the old parties TO
make common cause, against these men
The Senator caused great amusement py
reading a letter he had received from MIS-
sissippi, asking him TO have the Senate IN

proceeded: But ! am opposed to. to the ,,ss sec
was another ripple in the galleries.
A LITTLE SENSATION.
At this point Mr.. Hill exploded distinct
sensation. He said the prevalence Of
charges of irregularity and wrong was
shown by the recent public allegations Of
Senator Chandler mat the friends or Mr.
Mckinley were conducting "a Doodle cam
paign" Mr.. Hill said he had nothing to
say against Mr.. Mckinley. He admired him
for his courage. He says he is a candidate
instead of saying he is 'in the hands of
friends" Mr.. Hills experience was, he
said that a man who started .'in the hands
OF his friends" wound up in the hands
OF the enemy. i nad supposed Mr. Mchln-
~
ceeded Mr.. Hill, until read the Cnand-
Ter statement.
The Chandler charges were sent to the
desk and read in full. Mr.. Chandler sat on
the Republican side smiling as the reading
proceeded.
After the reading had concluded Mr.. Hill
went on These charges had rot been met,
he said. No answer had been submitted 10
the serious accusations OF Mr.. Chandler. Re-
flections on his motives were no answer
TO the charges. Why. asked Mr.. Hill. was
there not an investigation? Here are charges
of q corrupt use Of money to buy presi-
Dental nomination." exclaimed Mr.. Hill.
Here are charges of a levy on the pro-
tected interests to secure platform in ,ac-
cordance with their desires. but no Sen
ator-not even the Senator from Kansas
asks for an investigation. Here Is an Of
fense against the franchise, stab at our
institutions, when IL is charged that $25O.uoO
for the presidency. and yet no investiga-
be investigated too. Let US do IL now be-
fore the heat OF this political campaign
comes on" Mr.. Hill next passed TO the
sugar investigation and ridiculed It's re-
suits. One Senator had the courage to say
to the investigating committee. Yes he had
dealt in sugar" did 1T hurt him?' asked
Mr.. HILL mo; to-day he is the candidate
and favorfte son of the leading Republican
State of the Union for the presidency, with
host of friends and supporters"
After ridiculing the fruitless investigation,
Mr.. Hill, at O'clock, said he would yield.
expecting to go on tomorrow. The Senate
at 5:l5 went into executive session and then
adjourned.

TWO GOOD CONTESTS
schaefer Defeats DAILY 900 to 2GO I'm
the Afternoon and Ives Wins from
GARNER 300 to 20s at Night.

BOSTON. Mass, April 1e.-Bilnard enthu-
siasts were given two opportunities to-day
to witness the contestants In the interna-
tional billiard tournament at Bumstead
Hall. Schaefer and DAILY were drawn for
the afternoon game, which resulted In favor
of Schaefer, 800 to go. In the evening Ives
and GARNER were matched, and the former
was an easy winner. the score being 300 to
2oS. All of the men put up some brilliant
billiards, but a draw shot by GARNER, fully
half the length of the table, on which he
scored. was one of the most clever wit
messed during the tournament.
In the afternoon game things were dull
for several innings, Sehaefer making four
consecutive goose eggs after run of twen-
ty-two in the first inning. In the ninth, by
great masse play, he redeemed himself
and counted for thirty-ffv,s. Daily respond
ed With fourteen, made on open table work
of a high order. Schaefer took rest until
balls going TO his liking till his score had
been Increased by twenty-nine. In the next,
by the same tactics, he scored twenty-eight.
DAILY kept pegging away at the balls with
wonderful patience, but 1t was not till mis-
twenty y-fourth inning that he had a third Of
is h tret6 innng w6en by run ahe eams eame oe
masse work, he counted for thirty. He
added twenty-seven in the thirty.third.
number OF cushion draws which aroused
the spectators to enthusiastic pitch.
When Jake had made fourteen in the forty
second inning Daily suggested that the balls
should. be wiped of, which was done. On
the very next shot Schaefer fell down and
retired to his chair with a look of intense
disgust. In the forty-sixth he again gath
cred the balls and kept them in the cor
ners for twenty-four. In his forty-ninth
DAILY put in some excellent billiards, scor-
ing his highest run--twenty-three. Schaefer
did little till his ffty-eighth inning when
he ran out with nineteen. Summarizes:

Nashville Fans Fuming.

1t created surprise when it was learned
that Nashville was not only not to be one
of the leading cities of the Southern
league, but was not to be in it at all 1t
seems, too, that there is deep disappoint-
ment among the rooters of Tennessee
capital Said Sundays Nashville sun:
There is no use in talking, Nashville
fans are clamoring, and clamoring loud
ly, for baseball during the present sea-
son, and some enterprsing lovers of the
diamond sport should get together at
once and make arrangements to hold the
team already signed and secure the fran
chise Nashville now has in the southern
league. The demand for the game is a
popular one, and though there is no gold
mine in it, there is certainly enough of
profit to declare a dividend not to be
laughed at. Time was when Nashville
was a Jonah in the baseball world, but
the people are now educated up to it, and
they want the game. All day yesterday
the cranks were lamentng the turn
which affairs have taken, and they all
want ball playing"
