Senate Considers House
-. Joint Resolution.
HOAR IS OPPOSED TO IT
Chandler Resents Reflections on the
Senate Committee to Which the
Resolution was Referred.

Washington Apr:! 16.-The house joint
resolution in favor of the constitutional
amendment providing for the election of
United States senators by the people,
was laid before the senate. AS it was
about to be refereed to the committee
on privileges and elections, Mr. Butler
asked that it be read and then addressed
the senate briefly. He declared it was
the function of the committee of the
senate to consider, not to some other
legislation. He thought this question
had been 50 thoroughly considered that
it was not necessary to send it to the
committee. and therefore moved that it
be placed On the calendar.
Chandler, chairman Of the committee
on privileges and elections, said that IS
Butler was disposed to make impnt ations
on the committee, he desired right nav,
to inform him that he was most known.
IT do not he said, with snap, quite
like to have the senator attack the COM
mittee on privileges and elections in ad-
vance of it's actions on measure"
Hoar called attention to the gravity Of
the proposition and submitted that the
matter should not be considered by a
committee of the senate. He did not
approve of the proposed amendment,
holding that its adoption would give the
United States two executive bodies, both
chosen by people in popular elections,
the only difference being that senators
would have a larger constituency than
representatives. A motion to place the
resolution on the calendar was with
n nd ~,
mittee on privileges and elections.
Hale presented an additional urgency
deficiency bill and it was passed without
debate.
A bill providing for the removal to the
proper district, for trial of persons in
dicted in the United States was also
passed. Davis (rep.) presented from the
committee on foreign relations the fol-
lowing resolution and it was adopted:
That the secretary of state be directed
to send to the senate a copy of memorial
of Edward Gottfried, citizen OF
Wilkesbarre, Pa. and late consular agent
OF the United States at TrujillO, Peru,
sworn to March l, 1900 now on file in the
state department together with all pa

FOR DEWEY

Nww York, April 16.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says: To Ad-
miral Dewey has been given an opportun-
ity to explain his full position in regard to
the democratic party by a prominent
member of the democratic national COM
mittee who has sent to the admiral let
ter which may later be given out for pub
lication.
After expressing due regard for Ad-
miral Dewey, the writer Of the letter pro-
ceeds to explain that his allegiance to the
democratic party is such that he cannot
restrain himself from asking certain
questions. He was, he writes, happy to
learn that Admiral Dewey considers him.
self a democrat, but there has ben so
much talk Of a third ticket with Dewey
at the head that he considers it only fair
that more specific announcement should
be made than has yet come from Admiral
Dewey.
He then asks whether Admiral Dewey
intends to let his name be presented to
the convention that has been called to
meet in Kansas City. If so, he wants to
know neither the Admiral is prepared to
stand by any platform that may be there
adopted. The pointed question is then
asked as to whether Admiral Dewey will,
II he fails to secure the nomination, sup-
port the candidate named by the party.
Permission has been given to Admiral
Dewey to make public the letter and to
answer 1t through the press.
The only visitor at the adimrals coun-
try residenc Sunday to whom any politf-
cal significance is attached was Nathan
Strauss of New York who is an avowed
advocate of Admiral Dewey's candidacy.
Mr. Strauss spent several hours in con-
sultation with the admiral relative to the
forthcoming declaration of PRINCIPLES
which will be promulgated probably Tu-s
day next It is Well known that Mr..
Strauss is cooperating with Perry Bel
mont and other sound money democrats
who are interested in the Dewey moye-
ment.
The admiral declined to discuss the do .
tails OF Mr.. Strauss visit beyond savin,.

seemed to enjoy the beautiful surround
ings and the balmy weather of Easter

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS

Washington, April 16.-The house took
up the naval appropriation bill immedi-
ately after it convened Some difficulty
arose in connection with attempts to se-
cure an agreement for closing the gen-
eral debate.
Foss, acting chairman OF the naval
committee, suggested seven hours on
each side.
Underwood (Ala.) and Wheeler (Ky.)
thought there should be some general
debate on the live topics in the bill when
read for amendment. This was espe-
clally true, Underwood thought, regard
ing the question of armor plate. That
question had been vexing congress for
several years and it was important that
1t should be settled and settled right. All
efforts to secure an agreement failed and
the house went into committee of the
whole, Payne of New ork in the chair.

bate ahead.
F'OSS made general preliminary
speech. In opening, Foss paid tribute
to Boutelle of Maine. chairman of tine

re" Dbyb.
Frankfort, KY, Feb. 2-Alonzo
Walker, a stenographer employed by
the Democratic attorneys, was placed
under arrest to-day in the capitol
grounds, charged with conduct tend
ing to incite mutiny and riot. The con-
duct consisted in pinning to the door
of the private office of Governor Taylor
notice that tomorrow morning the
Democratic attorneys would appear be-
fore Judge Cantrill of the Circuit
Court and ask for an Injunction. re-
straining Governor Taylor from all in
reference with the movements of the
Legislature and from his announced
attempt to remove it to London in this
state. Walker was at once taken into
custody by orders of Colonel Roger
Williams, the commanding officer of
the forces now gathered around the
capitol.
Tomorrow the injunction will be
asked, and there is no doubt that it
will be granted Judge Cantrill has the
reputation of being man who will at
tempt, by all means in his power, to
enforce the rulings handed down from
his bench. He will most certainly use
all the power in his hands to secure the
operation of his Injunction. 1t is
equally certain that the Republicans
will pay no attention to Judge Cantrilf
or his writs. The Democrats claim
that the action of the Republicans in
arresting Walker while he was at
tempting TO carry out the orders of the
court, has placed them in contempt of
court and they will make all of the
point that is possible.
The Democratic members of the Leg
islature to-day effected n regular organ
ization for the first time since the
swearing in of Governor Goebel. A Sc
cret session of the members of both
houses was held in one of the parlors
of the Capitol hotel. at which the cleo
ton of William Goebel as governor
and ]. G. w. Beckham as lieutenant
governor was reafirmed, first in sepa-
rate sessions of the House and Senate,
and afterwards in joint session. Pre-
ceding this acton, the members of the
Senate elected as president pro TEN
Senator Carter, who was nominated
for that position at yesterdays caucus.

MINING MENTION.

ed. The cross-cuts on the different lev
els reach the vein at point vertically

east and west at an angle of a little
less than forty degrees. In the second

to this depth is now added 300 feet by

The magnitude of the workings al

startling. The vein is somewhat irreg-

extracted is such as has been taken
out in running the drifts. an average
of forty feet of slopes in the second
level west. Il small stope in the first
level and two or three small Slopes in
the second level east. and from this
comparatively small amount of ground
upward of $3.0OO.000 have been taken
out. The entire vein therefore prac-
tically remains untouched, the only eX-
ceptions being the height of the long
drift on the second level and the forty
feet of stopping in the east branch of
that level. The mine, therefore has not
