MASON'S MAIDEN SPEECH.
Wants Senate Sent Into Drydock TO Rid it
of Barnacles.

Washington, April Ex-senator Ma
son of Illinois made his maiden speech
in the senate to-day and signalized it
by some breezy criticism on the anti
Reed rules of the senate. 1t was such
a variation from the debate of recent
days that the senator was accorded
close attention and twice received the
hearty approval of the crowded gal
leries.
The speech was in support of reso
luton introduced by the Illinois sena-
tor directing the committee on rules to
report a rule by which debate could be
closed and the previous question or
dered. In this connection Mr. Mason
sarcastically referred to the inaction of
the senate on all great questions before
it, the long and fruitless debate on
Cuba; the delay of the arbitration
treaty and the inability to say whether
our difficulties are to be settled by ar
bitration or by the methods of Corbett
and FItzsimmons.
1t was time, he said, to send the SEN
ate into dry dock and rid it Of bar
nacles. Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts re-
piled briefly, pointing out that the other
branch of congress was more open to
criticism than the senate. He was in
accord with Mr.. Mason, however on
the need of new rules A vote was
taken on Mr.. Germans motion to refer
the Mason resolution to the rules COM
mittee, which prevailed, yeas 80, nays

A further discussion of the subject is
promised, as Mr.. Hoar has a pending
resolution to discharge the committee
on rules from further considering the
reform of the rules, Most of the day
was given to the bankruptcy bill. The
vote on the substitute and amendments
will be taken at p. m. tomorrow. 1t
was agreed that a committee of fifteen
senators should represent the senate at

REED AND G0MPERS MEET
SPEAKER DECLARES HIS VIEWS ON
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS.

Promises Head of American Federation
of Labor That Congress will Do All in
Its Power to Alleviate Any Distress
Federation Not Antagonistio but Believes
Eight Hour Law Not Properly Enforced.
Washington, April 21.-Speaker Reed
gave an interesting talk upon the pres
ent policy of the house and incidentally
declared his views upon labor organl-i
cations to-day, in the course of one OFF
the conferences which are of daily oc-i
ourrenoe in the speakers room. A dele-
cation from the American Federation
of Labor headed by Samuel Gompers,i
the chief of the order, called to requests
action by the speaker and the house on
matters in which the Federation Is in
terested.
They presented a memorial asking
the appointment of Representative
Gardner of New Jersey to the commits
tee on labor and also suggested amend-
ments to the eight-hour laws. Mr..
Gompers said there was great distressa
throughout the country. Mr.. Reed said
congress would do all in it's power to-,
alleviate the distress. Mr.. Gompers'
said they merely desired to express
their wishes. They regarded the eight-1
hour law as not being strictly enforced.
They desired 1t to be understood, how
ever, that they were not antagonistic, i
but believed in improvement OF existing
conditions by Legislation.
Speaker Reed in reply, expressed ap-
probation of the moderate and reason
able attitude of the laboring men. The
labor organization, he said, was q nec-J
essary concomitant of the factory sys-t
tenn. While in the old days laborers
had been individually independent, the
growth Of the factory system had
forced them to organize for the preser-
walton of their rights and interests.
He believed that results beneficial to-
humanity were coming from those Or
ganizations. While reforms Of thas
class they spoke of moved slowly, they:
did move. Public sentiment was now
in favor of the eight-hour law. Ha
could remember when every laboring!
man was expected to work twelve
hours.
Referring to congressional action, tha
speaker said that only one thing could
be done at a time and he was certain
all would agree that the first thing to
be done by congress now was to arrfve
at decision on the pending tariff bill,
one way or the other. AS to the special
request for the appointment Of Mr..
Gardner, the speaker said that would
be taken under consideration, as all re-
quests for committee assignments were.
In response to the complaint that the
last congress had not done enough for

vernon,s Condition Still Critical.

Philadelphia, April 21.-Billy Vernon,
the Haverstraw lightweight who col
lapsed in the fourteenth round of a
bout with Leslie G. Pierce of Camden
at the Olympic Athletic club at Athens,
Pa, last night, remains in a critical
condition at the Presbyterian hospital,
this city, and his death may occur at
any moment. The physicians cannot
say whether his condition is a conse-
quence of injuries received in the fight
or from natural causes.
At 1 o'clock this morning the physi-
clans attending Vernon held consul
tation and announced that the injured
pugilist would probably die within an
hour.
