not entitled to take his seat in this
body as a Senator from the State of
Pennsylvania"
That resolution was the judgment of
the majority of the committee. The
minority of the committe filed a report
declaring that Mr.. Quay was entitled to
a seat in the Senate.
CORRESPONDENCE AND TREATY.
Mr.. Pettlgrew, of South Dakota,
offered resolution, which on objec-
ton went over. calling on The Presl-
dent for General j. c. Bates report
relating to the treaty with the Sultan
of Sulu.
Resolutions were adopted calling
upon the President for correspondence
with Great Britain CONCERNING the
Clayton-B ulwcr treaty: with the CO.
lomblan Government as TO the Panama
Canal, and with the new Panama Canal
Company OF France.
The Allen resolution, calling upon
the Treasury for information as to all
communication with the National City
Bank. of New York. concerning the old
Customhouse transfer was adopted.
Mr.. Turner, of Washington. concluded
his Philippine speech begun yesterday
and Mr. Ross then spoke on his Phil
ipDine resolution. The Ross resolution
declared the constitution provisions do
not. unaided by act of Congress, extend
over the Philippines and Puerto Rico:
that the United States take Sovereignty
Of those islands unrestrained by the
constitution, etc. It was Mr. Ross
maiden speech.
The cesslon of sovereignty over a
country by one nation to another" he
said. affects only the political rela-
lions TO the inhabitants of the cedcd
country. and makes them subjects
thereafter of the nation receiving the
cession. Laws, usages. and munIcipal
regulations in force at the time of
cession remain in force until changed
by the new sovereignty. The consitu-
ton, therefore. cannot. of it's own in
herent force. extend itself over such
territory" He cited authorities in sup
port of this contention.

raign this nation before the bar OF ma

of his countenance. He spoke clearly
and earnestly. He asked that the

and minority OF the committee for a

RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Lacey, of Iowa, objected unless
it be understood that n substitute reso-
luton which he desired to offer should
also be considered pending. To this
Mr.. Tayler objected. He also objected
to having Mr.. IIacey's proposition read,
although appealed to by Mr.. Bailey, of
Texas, and Mr.. Richardson, of Tennes-
see. This proposition, as it subse-
quently developed, was for the eXpul-
sion OF Mr.. Roberts without swearing
him. The majority resolutions to ex-
cluda him and the PROSECUTIONS

expelled were laid before the House and
without any agreement as to a vote Mr..
Tayler. of Ohio, opened in support of
the majority resolutions
THE CASE OPENED.
Mr.. Tayler declared that the case pre-
ernmcntal life, the basis of which is
law. He said that though opinions
might differ as to unwisdom of certain
laws the people cannot stand for de-
fance of law and how much more must

FAMINE AND PEsTILENCE.
Horrors of the Famine in India In
creased by the Ravages Of Cholera.

London. May 5The report that chol-
era is strengthening its deadly hold
on famine stricken India brings the
pitifui condition OF that country more
than ever to public view. About s3, 500. =
600 persons, for this is the population
of the district affected. are sweltering
their existences away amid pestilence
and misery that show no signs of abat-
ing Hundreds OF thousands of pounds
in good British gold. good German
marks and American corn have been
thrown into the country, but, judging
from the latest advices. all this char
ity is merely a drop in the ocean. The
famine and its attendant complications
appear to exceed in virulence any two
previous visitationS.
The viceroy. Lord CurZoa OF Kedles-
ton, and the government are making
ceaseless exertions to meet the terri
BILE emergency, but the Stupendous diff
ficulties confronting them prevent the
present supplying OF relief to more
than 5000, 600. In the meantime the
native states are dotted with heaps OF
dead and dying and the roads are
crowded with CHASTITY bands seeking
to escape from the stricken ter
ritories, but, who, for lack of food and
water, mostly succumb in the at
tempts. Some of the most hopless fea-
lures of the whole affair are contained
in the statement of special corre-
spondent at Simla who writes:
Ten times the total relief could be
laid out in a single district without
fully relieving the distress. All We can
hope for is a succession of good years
to put the people on their legs again.
The British districts are reported to
be so far escaping the large starvation
and mortality that mark the native
states; but that their condition is not
enviable is evident from the follow
ing description by a Bombay CORE
spondent of the scene at -Ahmedabad
a city in the presidency of Bombay:
I'm an open space upwards of 20i
were seated, old and young, being
famine personified. The smell arising
from their filthy rags was sickening
and had attracted myriadS of flies
Some, especially the old men, were bony
frameworks. A girl. sucking two chill
dren, was ghastly to look at, but the
little ones with hollow temples, sunker
eyes and cheeks, and the napes OF
their necks falling in under their skulls
which seemed to Overbalance theil
emaciated bodies, and the wisp-like
arms and legs, were more dreadful
still. Many were suffering from disease
and numbers had the fever. Those who
could work were sent on where tanks
were being dug. Others We're given q
meal and passed on to the poor house
This picture is from a less seriously
affected part of the country. The suf-
ferings in the remoter districts, where
the famine is severe, where all the
cattle have long since died, where the
water is precious and where cholera
has now added it's dread Scourge, car
we'll be imagined.

THE GOEBEL MURDER.
Further Testimony Connecting Re-
publican Officials with the Crime.

Frankfort, KY, May 81. B.
Matthews was recalled by the defense
in the Goebel murder trial today and
testified that kilograms signed by
George Denny, of Lexington, and filed
Immediately after the assassination,
were sent to seven persons in different
parts of the state, saying that the riot
had commenced, and told the receiv-
ers to send different numbers Of men
to Frankfort at once.
Constable Davis Harrod stated that
he saw an unknown man run out Of the
secretary of states office and run down
into the basement few minutes after
the shots had been ffred.
Wharton Golden presented a num-
ber of letters from Governor Taylor to
Golden, in which the former pledged
him his support. They were read. Col
given in the examining trial. He gave
some additions to his former testi-
mOny. Among them was a statement
that Culton said the man who killed
Goebel was so drunk he could hardly
stand up. Another was that Caleb
Powers told him on the day before the
assassination that the best way to kill
Goebel would be to start an argument
in the Capital hotel and kill him there.
Power, the witness averred, said Tay-
lor would pardon the assassin.
At the afternoon session Golden told
again about Youtsey getting the key
to the secretary of states office from
John Powers. John Powers told him
two negroes had been brought here to
kill Goebel.
On cross-examination, Golden told
that Finley said if the contest was not
stopped, "Goebel and his gang would
be killed. Golden replied: 'I am with
you in that" Witness heard people
round the state house say that Goebei
would be killed if the contest was not
stopped.
George r. Hemphill, clerk in Secre-
tary Powers office, and also there
when Charles Finley was secretary of
state, followed Golden. He saw Yout-
sey in the office Saturday before the
assassination, with a rife. Hemphill
said the first shot sounded as If ii
was fired between the executive build
ing and the old state house, and the
next few sounded as il fired in the hall
of the executive building. Youtsey
came into the room a minute or two
after the shots. Governor Taylor came
into the room and asked what the
trouble was, and when told said: MY

Republican State Treasurer Walter
r. Day testified that a few days before
the assassination Youtsey left word
for witness to come to his office to see
him. When he got there Youtsey told
him he could settle the contest for
$500.
The commonwealth rested its case at
the conclusion OF Days testimony.
