MAJORITY
AGAINST
Mr.. QUAY.
Two Reports Made as TO His
Right TO a Seat in
The Senate.

Washington. Jan. 23.-The reports Of
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions in the case OF NJ. s Quay, who
claims a seat in the United States sem
ate on the strength of an appointment
from the governor Of Pennsylvania
were presented In the senate today. The
majority opposing the seating Of Mr..
Quay was signed by Senators Caffery,
Pettus, Turley, Harris and Burrows. the
last named the only Republican signing
a.. The minority report bears the sig
natures Of Senators Hoar, Chandler.
Pritchard and McCOmas. all Republi-
cans and advocates giving the seat 10
Mr.. Quay. The ma jority report first re-
views the circumstances under which
Quay's appointments was made, in
Guiding the failure of Pennsylvania
20 elect a senator. 1t then says:
VACANCY CONTINUES.
After vacancy in the office Of
United States senate occurs or comes
10 pass, Il the next legislature does not
MI II IL continues 10 eXist.It is the same
vacancy not a new one Now the state
executive is given power to make tenn
porary appointments I'm case Of a va
cancy. not as dong as II continues or ex-
the legislature. which is then required
TO fill the vacancy. This clearly means
that the paramount intent TO have the
legislature choose the senators e. TO
prevah and that whenever the legisla-
ture has had the opportunity 20 sr the
vacancy either before or after ii occurs,
the executive has no power 10 appoint.
a long statement of cases and prece-
dents is made, which II is claimed show
that from beginning of the government
down 10 the present time, the senate has
never recognized the right Of a state
executive 10 make a temporary ,ap-
polntment where the vacancy hap
pened or occurred during session of
the legislature. 1t shows. further. that
fog 80 years the senays has refused to
recognize the right Of state eNecu-
tive TO make a temporary appointment
even where the vacancy happened or
occurred during a recess of the legis-
lature. II the legislature either before
or after il occurred and prior TO the
date or appointment had had an op-
portunity 10 fill IT,
The report concludes: THE fun.a-
mental principle thus established IS
that the legislature either Nefore ~
after the happening of a vacancy has
had an opportunity 10 MI it. tE"a there
is no cover in the state executive %
pproiut The result is fatal 10 the
claims Of Mr.. Quay No danger ror
evil has .ssulted to the government
from tn" enforcement OF this principle.
We. therefore. submit that the sem
ate. for its own honor ana dignity
snCLld stand by it's previous soiem1 anl
deliberate decisions,

Charged by Prof. wheeler with Rid
ing Roughshod Over Everybody.

HARTFORD. Conn.,. JAM 12.-Prof. Ar
thur NJ. Wheeler, of Yale University, spoke
in denunciation OF the attitude of the Brit
ish in South Africa toward the Beers in
a lecture given tonight in the South School
Hall. His subject was England and the
Transvaal." He said that whatever be the
result of the present contest the British
must lose in the end. Living on the islands
and surrounded by an almost impossible
wall, the English go through the world as
X there was nobody else in existence. The
Dutch element was predominant when the
English took possession of what is now
Cape Colony. The Beers were forced back
into the interior The Beers cultivated the
soil and established institutions, but the
English came in and took the fruits of
their labor. One of the grievances of the
English against the Beers is that the latter
will not live under British rule which is an
objectionable sin in England. He sharply
criticised the manner in which the English
obtained possession of the Kimberley dia-
mond fields and attributed all her Interior
ence in the Transvaal and Orange Free
State affairs to greed and rapacity. Other
claims made by the English were only ex-
cuSeS.

Cleveland district of the American Steel

designations with view of withdrawing
from the Rod Rollers Association. 1t is

as they say, they have no grievance and
believe that in the interest Of themselves
and the mill employees ii is unfair to insist

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. u - Rod-mill
boss rollers will stand with the organiza-
ton. The advance in wages asked for av-
erages about 101z per cent and ranges from
~ per cent. advance granted by the com
pany on Jan has not appeased the men.
who resent the fact that the company has
made no reply to the proposition. The com
pany was given until Jan. Is to
make reply. The men say they
will wait until the night turn has finished
work at 1880 Tuesday morning. when they
say, the day force will not resume unless
the proposition has been answered The
employees in the company's various mills
number 1l,000. The workers say that of
the twelve rod mills of the cor bine nine
are organized and that the others will be
before Monday. The company officials say
the boss rollers here do not belong to the
workers organization and will not act with
them.
