CORBETTS CLAIMTO TOGA
MR.. CAFfERYS SPEECH A FEATURE OF
THE SENATE SESSION
Right of the Governor to Appoint
Under the circumstances Existing
in Oregon Denied by the Gentle
man From LOuisiana-AErIcu
turnl Appropriation Bill Passed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-One of the
features of today's session of the SEN
ate was speech by Mr. Gallery Q.aO
In support of the resolution reported bv
the committee on privileges and cleo
lions declaring that Henry w. Corbett
is not entitled to a seat In the senate
nom the state of Oregon. Mr. Corbett
was appointed as senator by the gov
ernor OF Oregon after the failure of
the legislature to elect a senator to
succeed Senator Mitchell. Mr.. Gallery
maintained that the governor Of a sta.
had no authority to appoint to fill an
original vacancy after the legislature
mad mad an opportunity to elect and
had failed to do So
Germany's order prohibiting the i'm
Iortation of American fruits into that
eEpire called out a resolution from
Mr.. Davis CMinn), chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, calling
uEon the president. if not incompatible
with the public interest, to transmit
the senate the correspondence and
other information bearing upon the
matter in his possession or in that of
the state department. The resolution
was agreed to.
In accordance with notice previously
given, Mr.. Caffery Oa) called up in
formally the resolution reported from
the committee on privileges and cleo
lICiS, uecldTIHS thaI Hon. Henry W..
Corbett is not entitled to a seat in the
senate from the state OF Oregon
Mr. Chandler On. H. who joined in
minority report, asserting the right
OF Mr. Corbett to a seat, gave notice
that he would call up the case again
tomorrow and press it to a vote at as
early date as possible.
Mr.. Catfery then presented an ex-
tended legal argument in support of
the resolution presented by the ma
jurity of the committee on privileges
and election.
Mr.. Caffery's contention was that a
governor of a state could not appoint
to fill an original vacancy-a vacancy
be ginning with a new term-especially
where the legislature had had an op-
portunity to elect and had failed to
do so. He maintained that the con-
sututional authority of the legislature
could not be transferred to the gov
oinor. He contended that the Oregon
legislature by intrigue or otherwise,
failed to elect; but that the senate of
the United States could not place
premium upon such dereliction OF duty,
on the part Of legislature, as would
enable the governor to appoint a favor
lite of his to a seat in the senate.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Caffery's
speech, Mr.. Lindsay (Ky) gave notice
that tomorrow. at the conclusion OF
the routine business, he would submit
some remarks upon matter personal
~ concerning himself, and In which
he thought the senate would have some
interest

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 1.-Two
cabinet officers were among the speak
ers at the annual banquet of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers associa-
ton, held here tonight. Secretary Gage,
Of the treasury, was the chief speaker,
but Postmaster General Gary was also
on the list, as We're Congressman
Dingley, Congressman Allen, of Mis-
sissippi, and United States Senator
Wellington. The principal toasts were:
THE Relation of Business to Gov
eminent Finances" Response by the
secretary of the treasury.
The Postal Service and It's Relation
to Commerce." Response by the post
master general.
Our Industrial and Business Fu-
ture." Response by Congressman Mel
son Dingley
Cuba" Response by Congressman
John NJ. Allen.
There We're nearly 200 covers and TIE
menu was an elaborate one
Secretary Gage, the first speaker on
the list, said, III part:
1T is the just complaint against a
government issue of paper money thai,
though obedient to the legislative will
1t is nevertheless not in harmony with
higher economic law. which blesses the
Obedient and Furnishes all violation
through ignorance. A true credit
instrument, truthfully evidencing thar
a thing Of value has paSSed-yet still
exists in fact-even if transformed In
shape and substance; such an instru-
ment is clothed with the quality of
legitimacy. If the fact be otherwise:
If the value passed has been consumed,
destroyed or lost. the credit instrument
itself becomes a commercial interloper,
a misleading token, nor can kings,
emperOrs or senate change the fact
II can only point out the fact that
our own legal tender notes, dear as
they are to the patriotic heart. service
able as they were in a great crisis. are
yet out of accord with the true eco
nCmic laws. The value for which they
were originally issued was Immediately
consumed OF destroyed. As now reis-
sued. they are evidences of a value
already consumed by the issuer or of
services already past. These notes
operating in the commercial field thus
differentiated from the true credit in
Etruments which commerce can create
and if left at reasonable liberty will
itself create-must somehow work in
jury, even if we cannot distinctively
point it out.
I'm my opinion, it is here that bust
ness received an injury general and
wide-reaching, through its forced re-
latIons to government paper money.
I wish it We're not so. I would be glad
in this regard to be in error. Neither
is it pleasant nor popular to bear this
witness, If it be true, but I know of no
higher duty upon the man who loves
his country, who desires 1t to march
in the vanguard Of progress and pros
perity among the nations of the earth
than to deal faithfully, according to
the light of his honest convictions, with
those great questions which affect for
good or i'll the country's welfare"

sugar. This every one knows-but who would
ever suspect innocent little match-sticks of
having the same propensity? Yet they pos
sess it, as can be very easily proved Take
shallow dish vessel of any kind and fill IL
with water; secure a dozen or so match
sticks and cut them IN halves If you like
you may leave them whole, but in this event
l should advise you to cut off the heads.
Hold a piece Of soap in the water al
the center Of the dish, and you will
very soon see the match-sticks hurrying
away from the soap to the edge of the pan.
l believe match-sticks object as strongly to
soap do some little children. But you can
very easily collect the sticks into the center
again. Remove the soap and in it's stead
hold lump of sugar in the water. Have
you ever seen flies gather about a pot of
honey or syrup? Well, in precisely the same
way-just as if they had the same instincts
as these little insects-the sticks will float
toward the sugar from all directions and fas-
ten themselves to it. 1t is wonderful
and amusing to behold the attrac
ton that the sugar has for these in
animate match-sticks. Looks like magic
doesn't it? But it isn't. The oil in the soap
tends to spread over the surface of the water
and in doing carries the sticks away with
it. The sugar, being full of pores, sucks up
the water, and the little current thus produced
brings them back.

OPPOSING NELSON'S BILL.
Conflict of Interests Develops In
Reservoir Land Matters

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-There is trouble
ahead for Senator Nelson's bill to restore to
public entry certain lands in the vicinity OF
the headwaters OF the Mississippi which were
withdrawn in 1881 for reservoir purposes. Some
CT those who made original entry OF these
lands want to have first chance when they
are again restored by proclamation of the
president, but other interests are against it
on the ground that original homesteaders are
not entitled to relief as proposed by the
amended Nelson bill. The lands lie near the
town of Walker. and there is some talk that
it is proposed to start another new town on
reservoir lands when they are reopened. The
house committee on public lands will prob
ably act on the matter soon.

ment of the Points of the Case.
The case of the State VS., w. E. Has
kell, manager of the Minneapolis
Times, accused of criminal libel, went
to the jury yesterday afternoon in
minneapolis, after thirty-three days of
hard work on the part of the attorneys,
the court and necessarily the jury,
which probably had the hardest work
OF any, by being compelled to listen
10 so much talk about what was prac
tlcally no concern of theirs. The case
has been a record breaker, the stenog-
raphers record being the longest one
known of in this county in any crimi
nal case, consisting of $500 pages, or
$500 fOlios.
No report has been made from the
jury room and none is expected until
late today, as there are so many points
no vote on a verdict is probable for
several hours.
Mr.. Jackson resumed his argument
to the jury when court opened yester-
day morning. 1t was not until late in
the afternoon that his talk was finish
ed
The court then delivered the charge,
a carefully drawn one, which was
unique in being drawn up in sections,
each section with its title, making it
document of value for reference.
He discussed the nature of the crime
what constituted publication under
the statutes; under what circumstan-
ces justification could be pleaded; the
liability of manager; presumptions
and burdens of proof; what constituted
valid defense, and what constituted
evident malice. He then went over
the evidence point by point, to make
it clear to the jury.
The charge was one which counsel
for both sides expressed themselves to
be well satisfied with, as clear and i'm
partial.
At the conclusion of the charge the
jury was placed in charge of a bailiff
and the trial was over, all but the
verdict.
