man Of the foreign relations committee.
the senate went into executive session
Remarks of Lindsay.
The provocation OF the resolution
calling upon Senator Lindsay 10 resign
was the charge that he had betrayed
his trust by voting against free coinage.
The senator from Kentucky called at
tention to the fact that the people OF
Kentucky at the last election voted
against free coinage. He referred TO
the legislators as political changelings
who altered their opinions whiic mire
remain the same" The senator showed
that in his first term he voted for the
repeal Of the Sherman law. against ali
free coinage amendments thereto.
against the proposed restoration of the
Bland Allison act and against the bill
directing the coinage of the seigniorage.
Immediately thereafter with a full
knowledge of these votes. the Kentucky
legislature reelected him 10 the senate
by the unanimous vote of the party. nc

Gus. Il am a senator from Kentucky
and not for Kentucky" he exclaimed.
Senator Lindsay said he was ready to
stand for local sentiment of his state
and to give due consideration To local
petitions. but to resign his seat in re-
sponse to so insolent a demand would
rob the senate of all its dignity. The
men who passed the resolution were
Ignorant OF the constitution and OF the
Democracy"

House Proceedings.

In the house a bill was passed TO
amend the act of Jan. 81. 1895, granting
rights of way through the public do
main for tramways canals and reser-
voirs so as to grant these rights for
cities and private corporations. AT
present the rights Of way are given
only for mining and irrigation pur-
poses Fleming of Georgia asked unani-
nous consen to set aside next Monday
for the consideration Of the bill report
ed by the Pacific railroad committee to
grant additional powers to the presi-
dent in the matter of the sale of the
Kansas Pacific road. The sale was to
take place Feb. II, he said. and it was
important if anything was to be done
that il should be done at once. Powers,
Republican. of Vermont. chairman of
the Pacific railroad committee. said the
consideration of the bill would be d
waste of time, as 1t had already been
demonstrated that the senate would
not pass similar measure.
President Has SUFFICIENT Power.
you are chairman of the committee
that reported the BILL" said Fleming.
us IL not meritorious enough to receive
considerations"
The bill is harmless replied Pow
ers. THE president already has sufii-
cient power"
but he distinctly asked for addition
al powers in his message" retorted
Fleming.
Shattuc, Republican, of Ohio. then
objected to Fleming's request. A con-
fiict then occurred between the appro-
nria tious committee and the cOmmi ttee
on claims. 1t was private bill day un-
der the rules. but the appropriations
committee desired to proceed with the
fortiflcatons appropriations bill and
contested the right of way with the
claims committee. The appropriations
committee was defeated on roll can,
l14-133. and the house proceeded to the
consideration OF private bills.

High Sense of Duty.

He wanted the jury TO understand
that IL was high sense of duty which
impelled him to devote to the case the
time and labor which he had expended
on it. Then he told the anecdote OF
Michel Angelo offering to transform the
unhewn rock on the street of Florence
into an angel. IL given three tools with
which to do 1t. Out of the ugly mass
of doubt, suspicion and misrepresenta-
tion surrounding Adolph l.. Luetgert,

fair play, the chisel of truth and the
mallet of justice to evolve olsen

and Judge Gary came in conflict once

moral crime of placing his client in a
false light before the public. The at

and pointed out it's failure to name the
means employed to perpetrate the crime
which it alleged had been committed.

most extraordinary and dramatic point
made by Mr.. Harmon was his recital OF
the fact that Luetgert was born one or
twins and his deduction therefrom. He
defed the prosecutors to produce any
criminalogist or any record from the
archives of crime to show that ever
one VINO had been born twin suffered
capital punishment for crime. Far
fetched as the point was, Harmon gave
it great stress, and. walking over to
Luetgert's chair placed his hand SOL

declared: This man was not born to

cent of crime, when his time comes he
will depart this life in the natural way
and meet his twin soul in heaven"
