Washington. Jan. 11.-After the dis

remainder OF the senate's session yes
terday except the time given to the
confirmation of nominations, was de-
voted to the discussion OF the question
as TO whether the Hawaiian treaty
should be considered in open session or
In executive session. After debate
OF almost two hours upon this point an
informal vote was taken. The decision
was overwhelmingly agaist an open ses-

The motion for open sessions was
made by Senator Gray OF Delaware VINO
urged that the question was one OF pup
lie concern involving no entangliIg com
plications with other nations, Shd one
which IL was therefore eminently proper
should be considered before the puohc
gaze.

Stan!ey'S Battle With the Bangsls.

The hardest and most furious tattls
Stanley had with the Congo natives
during his first descent Of that river In
1877 was with the Bapgala Some years
ago Muele, one OF the chiefs OF tie Ban
gala, gave to Captain Coquilhat, the Bel
gian commander the station at Bangala,
the native version of the great fight.
'We had never seen q white man, !"
said Muels, whose tribe thickly populat-
ing the river bank tor many miles, is
supposed to number 81, 900 souls. I'VE
had not the slightest idea that such be
inRs existed. One day, some dozen moons
ago, when the sun stood right over our
heads. great lot Of canoes, Of u form
we had never seen before, preceded by
the biggest canoe we ever saw, suddenly
came into view. They were Quietly pas
ing In front of our villages, In the swift
est part of the current. We saw that the
men, even to their head, were covered
with white cloth, and this surprised US
very much, for the richest chief we knew
fibre; and n sight that was perfectly new
to US. and that upset all our notions Of
men, was two white beinxs-yes, as
white as our pottery clay-who seemed to
command all the canoes. They had
about tho same form as other men, but
their hair, their eyes and their color
were very strange to us.

men sent from Ibanza, the mysterious
spirit, and why have they come upon our
riyerY Their purpose could only be bad
for suddenly they landed on an island
opposite us, instead Of coming to our
shore, ns all people did who were not hos
tile to us. At first, before we were able
to see them distinctly, we thought they
were party from our enemies of Mo
bcka. Our alarm drums sounded, and
we crowded to our canoes, all ready for
fight But the clothing OF the warriors
the straight form Of their weapos, and
those strange white men proved to us
that they were not our ola enemies. Still
we launched our canoes and rapidly ap.

ANTI-REFORMERS.

Conditions Under Which They Agreed
10 Close the Debate.
Washington. Jan. IA bold front
was presented by the Republicans Of
the house opposed to the civil service
law when Efforts were made by the MEM
hers of the COMMITTEES on rules To fparn
when the civil service debate could be
brought TO a close. The statement was
made that the close would be reached at
once il definite assurances were given
by the committee that the bill proposing
a material modification OF the law would
be given a hearing and vote at a
reasonably early date. Without this
assurance 1t was asserted that any rule
to close the debate would be voted down
by over 100 majority. Thirty names are
on the list OF those who desire 10 speak
and each man is expected to speak
about half an hour, leaving the end a
long way off unless some agreement
could be reached. Intimations were
ALSO made that an amendment might be
offered to the appropriation bin. adding
the Republican conference proposition
as a rider The steering committee
does not favor this course, but IL may
be proposed by individual members, and
will have a powerful support. The
canvass of Republican members now
in progress shows that by far the largest
number of Republicans favor a modifil
cation rather than a repeal of the law,
but il also shows that IS Republicans
are ready to vote for absolute repeal,

tending for the observance OF precedent

uously 10 the proposition that the sem
ate should take the public into it's con

took issue with MIR. Gray on the state
ment that no general questions were

dcted that the discussion would take a

| The pastor of one OF our churches de-
iiyered sermon on municipal matters
sunday, and among other undesirable
Manifestations be referred TO profanity In
| public places. According 20 the sum
mary OF his remarks made in yesterday :
News no wanted to know as to this: 81
wonder IL the policemen on our streets
have right 10 stop profanity on the
street, 1t il seldom that | am able to pass
along the street without having oaths
borne to my ears. Why not have the po-
llcemen known by their presence as those
who would punish by arrest the user of
oathsY'
We have pleasure In informing this
pastor that the policemen certainly have
right to stop profanity OH ou- streets.
Ihe law sgainst swearing is found in
chapter PSI Of the General Laws of Rhode
Island, "Of Offences Against Chastity.
Morality anu Decency." Section 10 reads
as follows:
Every person who shall commit BIAS
phemy shall be imprisoned not exceeding
two months or be fined not exceeding
two hundred dollars.
And section 10 as follows:
Every person who shall be guilty OF
profane swearing and cursing shall be
fined not exceeding live dollars 4"
AS matter OF record, an occasional
arrest is made undor the Inter section.
The last such that we recall vas made in
Newport and sentence was passed to tho
extreme limit--a fine of tse dollars. The
incident attracted some little attention as
being unusual.
We are surprised. though, il it is really
so often necessary to invoke the anti-pro-
family law as our pastor friend would
suggest when lie declares that he is
hardly able to pass along the street
without having oaths borne to his ears. -

walk very far or for very long on any of
the moro frequented thoroucbfares with
out hearing some profanity, nut If it Is
Of SO aggressive nature as to com mand
the attention OF any ybQdy than the per
son for whom IL il intended, or IL there is
30 much of 1t that it threatens the con-
tent or interferes with the business of the
pedestrian, that is something we have
never remarked. When IL becomes as
offensive as our pastor friend suggests a
policeman may usually be depended upon
to discourage 1t as he would any other
public offenoe. even though he may not
feel IL to be necessary to make an arrest
to preserve the public peace.
Profanity has been defined by philos-
ophcr as unnecessary swearing" aud
by that standard most swearing IL prob
ably IN the nature Of profanity. At any
rate il is always vulgar. Until we read
the remarks OF our pastor friend, how
ever, we had not realized that IL was
serious public nuisance In this COM
munity, Dut that may be because our
ears have become calloused to it-or per-
haps our occupation ana pleasure takes us
via other thorouahfares than our pastor
friend treads.
