Huntington as he to sec the roads pay 100 cents on the dollar, that it was the last great work of his life and he hoped to live to see all his affairs on 8 solid basis. Chairman Powers asked whether under the company's plan the Southern Pa cifio would be able to guarantee the payments.
 'The Southern Pacific is solid old company" Mr. Huntington replied, "and while would not like to do any thing to make it pay much money I would be willing that it should guaran- tee the payments because I am 80 sure 1t would be called on to pay. am only one of several, but have been running this thing for 30 years and what say generally goes. am willing to promise that the Southern Pacific will guarantee she payments. !"
 D When MT. Powers inquired if the charter of the Southern Pacific, granted by the Kentucky legislature, was broad enough to permit this, Mir. Huntington answered, "OhI thanks, this is broad enough to do most anything" and the committeeman laughed ''That is broad charter and clean charter," he added, land has done all we wanted it to dc"

 Appeal to the Mayor to Put Them


 House Chamber, Where the Joint Ballot Takes Place, and Democrats Appeal to the Mayor to Put Them out-Excltement at High Pitch.
 FRANKFORT, March 19.-The capitol is under constabulary rule. Mayor Ju- Han ordered about 90 extra policemen to remain on duty in the rotunda of the capitol. They are under the command of Chief Tobin, with instructions to keep the rotunda absolutely clear.
 This eourse was decided on by the mayor after consultation with the gov ernor who said to the mayor that if Frankfort was unable to afford police protection to the members, he intended to do so if it took every state guard in Kentucky.
 Shortly after the house opened Repre- sentative Kaufman walked down the aisle and began to gather up the papers about his desk Mir Dunlap was not present when work began.
 Senators James and Walton were in the house chamber ready to be on hand when the joint session began.
 Ks soon as the Democratic leaders found that two members of the senate, James and Walton, had secured admis- sion to the house chamber they raised a protest Mayor Julian, who was on hand with extra policemen, was found and asked to sec that the men were re- moved peaoeably from the floor of the house before the joint assembly con- vened in order that all trouble might be prevented.
 The mayor refused to do so and said that it was within the power of the house, if it chose to do so. to eject the two men, Senator Bronston argued for some time with the mayor, but without effect.
 The situation is very critical because the Democrats declare that if an at- tempt is made by the two members to vote it will surely precipitate trouble. The Republican leaders assert that both James and Walton have right to the floor of the house, and some of them are not slow to say that they will vote in joint assembly for United States sen- ater.
 Adjutant General Collier said that the only difference between the unseating of Kaufman in the house and the de- claring vacant of the seats of James and Walton i'll the senate was that Kauf- man was legally unseated. while James and Walton were not

1 HOAR ANIJ SHERMAN.
Leaders or the Debate on
 the Cuban Question.
GALLERIES PACKED WITH PEOPLE

Tho Discussion Was at Times Lively,
 but More In the Nature of PersonaI
 Compliments-The Question wns Not
 Settled Before tho Debate Limit Was
 Reaohed and Wont Over.
 WASHINGTON, March 13.-The Cuban debate in the senate has advanced to the stage of one of the great debates of the American congress, and the speech Wednesday of Senator Hoar was another eventful feature of this discussion. Tn this debate the senators and the crowded galleries arc kept at high tension by such stirring themes as war and patri- otism and liberty.
 Mir. Hoar's speech was not able in setting forth the conservative view of the subject and urging postponement of action until April 6, but it developed many sharp controversies with Mr. Sherman and other senator's Tn the main the speech was Q plea for calm, dignified and judicial action instead of the excitement and disorder of the mob and the impassioned speech of orators.
 Mir. Hoar characterized his colleague, MT. Sherman, as one of the greatest statesmen of the country, whose name would go down in history along with that of Lincoln, Fish, Seward, Grant and his illustrious brother, and besought the Ohio senator not to obliterate this brilliant record by nasty and unguarded notion on the Cuban question.
 Mir. Hoar said the secretary of state was clearheaded, oldfashioned Massa- chusetts Yankee who could be safely trusted with our foreign negotiations.
 The senator added like sentiment of the sincerity of President Cleveland in dealing with the Venezuelan question and declared that an action by congress attacking tho presidents course would be an attack on America.
 Mir. Hoar's resolution for the post- ponement lost its parliamentary status at 3 o'clock and went to the calendar. Mir. Sherman announcing that from this time forward he would press the privileged question-the conference re- port-aooepting the house Cuban reso- lutions.
 The senate then took up the Dupont case, and Mir. Turpie continued his ar gument in opposition to the claim of MT. Dupont, and Mir. Pritohard (Rep., N. 0. ) took the floor in support of Mir. Dupont's claim, but yielded at o'clock for an executive session.
 The house passed the postofflee ap- propriatien bill which has been under consideration since Inst Friday The feature of the debate was the attack on the spy system in connection with lot. teroarriers
