country want it after all OF Its infamiss
have been pointed out. il they want to
walk into the trap prepared for them.
i am willing, and will give the measure
my support"
MIR. Hoar offered an amendment pro-
viding that no Injunction or other legal
process shall be issued which shall COM
pei the performance by any laborer
against his will OF q contract for personal
labor or service. The amendment was
accepted by Mr. Kyle. who had the yeas
ure In hand. Ii being impossible to
reach an agreement TO vote upon II. Mr..
Kyle gave notice that he would,ask the
senate TO resume its consideration.
After refusing TO consider the senate
bill restricting immigration, the house
took up and devoted the session to the
house resolution TO submit TO tho states
proposition to amend the constitution
so as TO provide for the election of sena-
tors by direct vote. The amendment
as reported left IT In the discretion ~
the states to elect their senators by direct
vote or through their legislatures. but an
amendment by Mr.. Underwood, making
election by popular vote mandatory was
adopted, and the resolution was then
passed.
Mr. Powers advocated a fixed uni
versatility of method OF election. Some
of the legislatures" he said. "have
shown themselves utterly unfit to exer-
else the function OF electing senators.
and II you leave the option with the
legislatures you simply provide for the
perpetuation OF the evils which IL was
aimed to escape" Speaking OF the in
huence OF bosses" in state legislatures,
Mr.. Powers was interrupted with Ques-
tion as to bosses In the Vermont legis-
lature. and he produced wave of ap-
plause by replying: 'T am happy to say
that we never have had bosses In Yer
mont. but we developed one week ago
Hast Sunday when Commodore Dewey
Won the battle of Manila"

amendment because 1t will remove" de-
clared Mr.. Cummings, zone OF the foul
est spots In our political system" With
this Introduction he proceeded TO a
vigorous denunciation of the action Of
the Republican Legislature In New York
In nxins an apportionment limiting New
york city to one-third of the assembly
men irrespective of the city's popula-
tion.
Mr.. Simpson. speaking in support of
the measure, devoted much of his time
to criticism of the rules of the house
which prevented 1t being a truly rep
resentative body. He said he held
strongly to the position that the house
was representative and the senate was
far removed from the people; but he was
inclined now to doubt the soundness of
the position. and to consider the senate
more fully reflective of popular will. AT
the conclusion of his speech, Mr.. Simp-
son occasioned a general laugh by
mounting the speakers stand and en-
gaging Speaker Reed in a manifestly
humorous conversation

HURT BY THE WAR.

Maine Fishermen Said to BE Afraid to
Venture Co the Great Banks.
The war has knocked the Maine fish
ing industry out completely SO far as
the offshore feet is concerned, for none
Of the Grand bankers will dare to go to
sea, that fishing ground being the most
crowded part Of the Atlantic and con-
sequently most likely TO be watched by
the Spanish privateers. Bucksport, Port.
land, Boothbay, Rockland, Lamoine
and other places along the coast have
large capital invested in tho banks fish
cries. and the loss Of this seasons trips
will be disastrous to owners and men
alike. Even the lobster smack mon are
alarmed, and the fishing this year will
be confined to shore waters. II is expect.
ed that the prices Of fish will be very
high for year or more.
The people engaged in the fisheries
are hoping that when the war is over
and Cuba shall have becomea free coun-
try there will be free trade between
that rich island and the United States,
for IL would mean brisk business and
big money for them. At present most
Of the dry and picked fish sent to Gu
ba, which IL q great consumer, comes
from the British maritime provinces
and much Of the trade In done i'm Span

MANY ITALIAN RIOTERS KILLED.

London. May 12.-It will probably be
many days before one is able fully to
estimate the gravity Of the riots and the
number killed and wounded in Italy. The
two suppressed papers, the Radical
Secolo and the Republican Italia OF
Milan, were undoubtedly chiefly respon-
sible for the riots there. The latter
journal has been in the habit for some
years OF giving Its subscribers Christ
mas gifts of revolvers and hatchets, the
latter inscribed in the Milanese dialect
with the motto, DALI al tronco" (Strike
at the trunk). The regular subscribers
were largely priests. II is said that all
the socialist editors throughout the
country have been or will be arrested and
detained until complete order Is re-
stored. Evidence accumulates that rail-
way men were chiefly responsible for the
risings. The order calling them under
arms is expected to have good deter
rent effect.

IAFRIKANDERS TO CUBANs.
A Ringing Word Of Cheer That Comes
From South Africa.

"A Ringing Word Of Cheer That Comes
From South Africa.
The rebellion in Cuba is not an at
tempt to get possession Of q rich coun-
try for the benefit of few greedy finan-
ciers. 1t is as genuine and justifiable q
resistance to unbearable tyranny as his
tory has any record Of. Every Cuban,
rich and poor alike, throws his energy
and his money into the common cause.
1t is struggle for freedom, for the
sanctity of the home and for everything
that man holds dear, and no nation ever
took up arms in more righteous cause
than the Americans would the event
of war being declared by the United
States. A nation like Spain, that has
lapsed into standardization, has no right
to be master Of race like the Oubans,
who in their logged determination have
so far defied the efforts Of 80, 900 Span
ish troops to compel them to lay down
arms.
Every Afrikander who knows the
facts must sympathize with them and
pray that at last an end will be put to
generations of tyranny by the crushing
of the Spanish dominion in the West
Indies. -Krugersdorp (TransvaaD Sen.
