Harrisburg, Pa, January 18.-The. feeling between the candidates, their managers and their followers in the great battle for United States senator has been intensified by the rulings of iLeutenant-Gov vernor Co., bin at today's assembly of the senate and house. MT. Gobln refused to entertain an appeal from his decision excluding series of rules regulating the proceedur of the confernce and declaring the assembly ad- 'journed when three-fourths of the senators and members voted otherwise
 The anti-Quay republicans and democrats were hurredy called together, after the conference adjourned, by Senator William Film, of Allegheny, republican, chairman of the anti-Quay organization in the gem eral assembly. A roll call showed 135 mem bers and senators present. Of these, five republicans who voted for Senator Quay participated in the meeting and indicated their sympathy with the movement.
 Series of Resolutions
 A committee was appointed to prepare a series of resolutions to be submitted to an adjourned meeting, which was held this evening in the hall of representatives. The hall of the house was crowded with legis- lators and politicians when the night meet ing was called to order by Chairman Bliss MT. Finn presented the report. It recites the excluding of the rules and the right 10 prescribe such, declaring that the presid- ing officers actions violated all rules and precedents, and resolves that "as the joint assembly has the undoubted right to govern it's own procedure and to elect or cnange a presiding officer at pleasure" the same rules be offered at tomorrow's meeting of the joint assembly and their consideration demanded prior to any ballot for United States senator
 This report is signed by 10 senators and 120 representatives, four more than attended the day meeting
 In explaining the resolutions, Mir. Finn said there was law or constitutional mandate that allows the lieutenant governor to preside at joint assembly of the senate and house to elect a United States sena- tor it was simply matter of courtesy.

Senator Hawley, he said the people were anxious for the separation of church and state in educational matters and that they seemed to want to be like the Americans in this as well as in other respects Speaking of Santiago city, he said the collections mainly from customs have been sufficient to pay all legitimate expenses and leave a balance of s2S0 900. which he meant to. de- svote to cleaning up the harbor. This har- bor he said, had accumulation of ten feet of filth, and with this removed he be- lieved the city would be as healthy as any American city.

GENERAL WOOD
 EXPLAINS SYSTEM By Which He Has Reformed Govern
 ment of Santiago. THE PRESENCE OF MILITARY Is Still Necessary for tte Maintenance
 of Order.
DOES NOT ANTICIPATE TROUBLE
The Cubans Are Permitted to Select Their Own Officers, and Are En- couragedto to Establish Self-Goy-
 ernment- Customs Receipts.

Washington, January 1S.-General Leo nard Wood, commander of the department of Santiago, was before the senate commit- tee on military affairs today. He gave a detailed account of his operations in the province and in the city of Santiago and also gave his estimate of the military force necessary to maintain order in the islands On the latter point he expressed the opin- ion that for some time the 7,5Oo men now in the province of Santiago should be con tinaed, but after a time, 1000 would be suf- ficient for the service He considered, how ever that military force would be neces- sary to the maintenance of order for some years, and said it should be sufficiently, ef- fectually and quickly check any trouble be- fore 1t could gain headway. This remark applied to the island as whole, and he thought as many as 5O,oo0 troops should be stationed throughout Cuba.
 Trouble Not Anticipated
 With proper precaution and tact he did not anticipate trouble, and he believed that the insurgent forces would rapidly disnte- grate in all parts of the island. Santiago had been a great stronghold of the Cuban insurgents under Garcia, but they had now practically disbanded. Outlining his mode of governing the province, he said he mad made no appointments to office except upon the recommendations of Cubans, and that he had in all cases put them upon their honor in making such recommendations. He had shown absolute trust in them in all matters, going among them always nn- armed and leaving the books of the admin istration always open to their inspection. He had Cubans in all departments and his private secretary had at one time been member of Gomez staff. Thus they al- ways knew how their money had been ex- pended and knew just what he was doing as their governor.
 General Wood said that his first effort had been to encourage the people of all the towns to establish sef-government, and he had been especially zealous in having them select their local officers. open the schools, establish courts, build roads, etc, and in cases where they did not have the money for these purposes he had aided them by making contributions from the general fund

This system was entirely different from the old one under Spanish rule, when ali the collections were forwarded to Havana and never came back, only 16 per cent of the revenues being devoted to local uses. He had found the people especially jealous of their rights in this respect, and the re- cent public meetings and protests against sending their revenues was due to this feeling. General Wood spoke especially of the establishment of schools and the build ing of roads. He said he had 2,oOo men makr ing roads and that he was getting many schools started.

This interesting story from New York will recall to thousands of persons in Bir- mingham and throughout Alabama, in Eu- faula and Montgomery. most especially, the sensa tional murder of Edward Martin, just outside of his office. in Twenty-first street, this city, in October. 1S90 The murderess was Julia Martin, nee Powers. Why she now calls herself Florence Martin is mat ter for conjecture. The man she murdered was the brother of the man who married her in Texas. Edward Martin sent a Bir- mlngham detective to Texas In the attempt to compromise his brothers wife, so the story went, and her revenge was bullet from a 32-calibre pistol fired at noon In Twenty-first street, between First and sec- ond avenue.
