ment, but that in making it he violated the
law Of Pennsylvania. This. he claimed, the
Senate was bound to take cognizance of in
its consideration of the case.
Discussing the authority of Congress to
regulate the election of senators and repre-
senatives, Mr.. Quarles said:
Under the last clause of section f. Con-
gress has undoubted power to make COM
plete regulations as to time and manner of
elections, and thus to displace all local
regulations heretofore made, or it may alter
such state regulations.
Congress has never found 1t necessary to
exhaust Its power by debating to the states
the time when senatorial vacancies should
be filled. 1t may seem startling at first
blush, that Congress may prescribe to the
states the time when legislatures shall con-
vene, but a reference to the debates will
dispel all doubt that this is exactly what
the convention intended and insisted upon
in so far as might be necessary to insure
elections of members of the second House
THE power Of Congress, under the Con-
stitution to provide the time for legislative
action on senatorial vacancies cannot be
doubted. 1t would be competent for Con-
gress to enact the very provision that
Pennsylvania has put in its constitution
practically requiring all vacancies to be
promptly filled by the legislature.
Suppose the very language Of the Penn
sylvana constitution had been employ ed
by act of Congress in making regulations
for such election and the governor of Penn
sylvania had openly defied such law by re-
fusing to issue his proclamation and had
assumed to make a temporary appointment
How many senators this floor would vote
to seat his nominee and let the law so de-
prive the legislature of it's lawful func-
ton?
What Governor Stone has done his sue
cessor may do, and when this Senate has
once fixed the seal of its approval it will re-
quire less hardlhood on the part of sue
ceeding governors. There will be the
pretext of example added to the tempta-
lions of interests. Thus the power of tenn
porary appointment will swell the regular
patronage Of the executive office, and the
constitution of Pennsylvania will forever
remain dead letter.
1--WE are told upon this floor that local
political conditions were such as to justify
@ disregard aof the Constitution; that an
other session of the legislature would have
been barren of results, and therefore the
governor was warranted in multiplying the
organic law. This is the specious plea of
every man who finds it convenient to break
the law. This strips the law of its sane
tity. Constitutions are made to be obeyed
by governors well as by other men
Laws become a mockery If they may be
broken as often as the lawbreaker decides
that no good purpose would be subserved
by their observance.
This chamber Is the place where law
should be sacred for its own sake

HILL WANTS NEW ISSUES.
Popular Election of United States
Senator'S a EaNOrite Theme.


A dispatch from Syracuse, N Y, last
night says: Five hundred leading demo-
Gratis of Syracuse and northern and central
New York attended the jefferson dinner
given under the auspices of the local de-
mocracy by Mayor James K. Mcclure to-
night. Gold men and silver advocates
united in making the affair great political
success. Among the out-of-town guests
was former Senator David B. Hill. He
made the main speech of the evening. He
said, in part:
THE public interest would, in my opin-
ion, be promoted by the election of United
States senators by the people instead of by
the state legislatures. l hazard nothing in
stating that nine-tenths of the people Of the
country favor the proposed change, and
are much gratifed at the recent passage
of constitutional amendment to that ef-
feet by the House of Representatives, ard
which is now pending in the United States
Senate awaiting action The success Of
this reform would mean the death knell of
offensive bossism in the federal Senate a
contamination much to be desired.
Permit me to say, in this connection.
that a plank favoring an amendment to the
Constitution providing for the election of
United States senators by the people was
in the original draft of the Chicago plat
form in 1896. but was stricken therefrom by
the subcommittee on resolutions against my
earnest protest.
while not intending to discuss national
questions here this evening, I may digress
sufficiently to say that there is now every
reasonable prospect that such wise action
may be had that it can be truthfully said
at the conclusion of the coming convention
at Kansas City on the anniversary of our
nations independence that the stone which
the builders rejected is become the head of
the corner"

ciation's plans as declared by the comput-
ing engineer, showed that a man who
could come no nearer than that to the
facts, was not worthy OF confidence.
The Proposed Viadact.
Mr. Linton asked what had become Of the
proposition to have a beautiful masonry
viaduct for the tracks Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road?
Mr.. Henderson replied that not only had
a former plan provided fer beautiful ma
sonry viaduct but there was to be a boule-
ward along the line of the railroad to give
access to the city for the people living to
the northward.
Mr.. Linton said the computing engineer
had called the streets Of lexington Stub
streets. He wanted to Know whose fault 1t
was that these streets had not been car
ried through He declared 1t was no fault
Of the people of lexington.
DR.. Edgar D. Thompson said 1t was self
evident that the computing engineer had
made no effort to consider the interests or
the people Of lexington, and he thought
that these interests should be presented to
the Commissioners and to Congress.
The Brookland View.
Mr.. ]. H. Lane remarked that he had
noticed the Brookiand Citizens Association
had adopted resolution opposing any
modification of the bill before Congress by
the adoption Of the plan Of the association.
affected by the company's plan than was
the association of Georgetown. He had
met two or three members of the Brook
land association who had told him their
association had got mixed up in regard to
the railroad question, and that they did not
mean what they were on record saying.
He said their action was evidently a mis-
take and he wanted something done to as
certain just what they did mean.
Mr.. Linton said the railroad question, as
1t affected lexington, was illustrated by
the story of the man who was willing to
sacrifice all of his wife's relatives in the
war. lexington was to be sacrificed and
many people seemed to think they did a
patriotic duty in approving the sacrifice. so

DIED OF A. PECULIAR MALADY.
Doctors Think Mrs. Foerster Had Adj
disOn's Disease.


The New York Herald of today saws:
Suffering from a rare disease that turned
her white skin to bronze after four years
illness, Mrs. Marie Forester died on Satur-
day at her home. No. 3O2 East seth street
Physicians called her malady unique case
of Addison's disease.
After an attack Of the grip four years
ago Mrs. Foerster's face, hands and arms
began to freckle. The freckles soon spread
to all parts of her body.
Martin Forester, the woman's husband, Is
barber. He moved from Staten Island to
this city about year ago, and obtained
medical treatment for his wife.
The unique feature of Mrs. Foerster's
illness was that she remained in apparent
good health.
DR.. s. Strauss of No. III West 10th
street, after treating Mrs. Forester, came
to the conclusion that she was suffering
from Addison's disease. He had seen but
one similar case. that during his student
days in Germany; but he was puzzled Iy
the excellent health of the woman.
Shortly before her death DIR. Strauss pre-
scribed tabues Of strychnine and a pre-
scription of pepsin for the sick woman She
grew worse. Then he called DIR. Ludwig
sultation. Mrs. Foersters bronze color
grew darker and darker 1t was apparent
that she was dying on Saturday, and the
physicians were forced to tell the woman's
husband that there was no hope.
Martin Forester lost faith in the two
physicians when his wife died. He declared
that the pink medicine given his wife
only FASTENED her death. He reported the
an autopsy will be held by Coroners Physi-
clan O'Hanlon.
Addison's disease was discovered by Thos.
Addison, in London. in 1856 1t Is usually
supposed to be associated with tuberculosis

is OPPOSED TO QUAY
MIR. QUARLES' MAIDEN SPEECH IN
THE SENATE.
Argues Against Seating the Claimant
interpreting the Constitution
as Prohfbitive.

Mr.. Quarles CWis.) addressed the Senate
yesterday afternoon and took strong ground
against the seating of Mr.. Quay. While the
Wisconsin senator has addressed the Sen
ate briefly once or twice before, this was
really his maiden effort before the body
and attracted attention not only on that
account, but also by reason of the ideas he
advanced as to the authority Congress may
exercise over the election of both senators
and representatives.
He urged that Mr.. Quay should not be
seated, for II he were a new precedent
would be created and long line of adjudi-
cation would be disturbed.
In the course Of an extended constitu-
tional argument, Mr.. Quarles developed
some new points against the seating of Mr.
Quay. but his chief contention was that the
Constitution did not admit of the interpreta-
ton placed upon it by the friends of Mr..
Quay. He argued further that in this par
ucular case the governor not only had no
constitutional right to make the appoint

FOR AMERICAN TRADE,
Openings to Be Found Mt Para in
Brazil,

Consul Kennedy at Para, Brazil, has sup
piled the State Department with a number
of interesting facts relative to openings for
American trade there. The number of
houses carrying United States goods is
steadily increasing, says the consul, in mis-
consular district, which, from a business
standpoint, is the best part of Brazil The
consul records the opening of branch offices
of several firms at Para, and in one IN
stance, the Pittsburg Milling Company, an
innovation in the shape of direct sales to
the consumer. The Brazilian" government
has in contemplation large appropriations
for certain improvements which will IN
volve deals of much Importance to our cap
italistS and promoters.
A law has recently been enacted for the
establishment of a new steamship line be-
tween Para and New York in which the
governor of Para is authorized to give the
new company subsidy of $4,000 annually
for a term of twelve years Steamers of
the new line are required to make twelve
round trips the first year, and twenty-four
each year thereafter. The two lines now
plying between New York and Para are
said to be very unsatisfactory and the new
line, with low rates for both cargo and pas
sengers will, it is believed, greatly benefit
our export trade.
The long contemplated German steamship
line between Para and European ports has
been completed and is now in course of
operation. An attempt to obtain a fran
chise to form a company for the establish
ment of an elevated railway had been
made 1t is thought the grant will be given,
as the present horse-car line is very poor
and a new road would be very desirable.
An excellent opportunity in the hide in
dustry, says Consul Kennedy, is being sad
ly neglected, the quantity, quality and va
riety of hides in that part Of Brazil being
exceptional.
Excellent chances for the profitable in
vestment of American capital are also Of
fered in very many other lines of trade in
Para, and the consul states that an agent
on the spot, well supplied with funds, would
be wise in any deals, as the people cannot
be reached effectively by cable or long
range correspondence.

mittee would accept the amendments sug-
gested by the house committee. and that it
would act favorably upon the bill as
amended as soon as it should be passed by

the bill pending in the Senate prior to the

l.. W. Habercom, who for several years
has been connected with the Republican

sending campaign matter to the German
newspapers of the United States, came out
to-day In a statement repudiating the Re-

In his statement, which is regarded by
Chairman Richardson, of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee, as In.
dicating the support Of Bryan by the Ger
man Americans, Mr.. Habercom declares
against imperialism and militarism. He
says the foreign policy of the Republican
party makes the United States q world
