HARLAN CONFIRMED.
Senators HawIey and Chandler Grow
Excited DrinR the Exeeu-
tive Session.

Washington, Jan. 22.--The senate, in
executive session Monday confirmed
the nomination of James S. Harlan to
be attorney general of Porto Rico. The
final vote was reached after a discus.
sion of more than two hours duration,
and when announced stood 43 to 81 in
favor of confirmation. All the repub-
licans cast their votes in the affirma.
tive, and two or three democrats voted
with them. The session was character
lied by a spirited colloquy between
Senators Chandler and Hawley, in
which bitter personal language was
used. The controversy between them
grew out of a letter written by Senator
Chandler in 1877, and which was read
by Senator Pettigrew, concerning the
controversy over the Hayes-Tilden
election, in which reference was made
to the part taken by Senator Hawley
and Justice Harlan (neither then oc-
cupying his present place. in the set
tlement of the Louisians controversy
at that time. In that letter Senator
Chandler stated that commission, of
which those two gentlemen were mem
beers. had been sent TO Louisiana by
President Hayes to destroy the Packard
state government. This having been
accomplished, Senator Chandler said
the president then undertook to "rec-
ognlze" the members of the commits
sion, giving Gen. Harlan the appoint
ment of an associate justice, and offer
ing Gen. Hawley the place of director
of the Paris exposition, which the lat
ter had declined, Senator Chandler
said. because of the inadequacy of the
salary.
When this point in the article was
reached. Senator Hawley interrupted
in a somewhat excited, manner to de-
nounce the statement as false. which he
did in very emphatic and plain Ian
guage. Senator Chandler replied in
like manner, saying that the article
haG been prepared by him 90 years ago;
that it had never before been contra
dicted and that he still stood by it.
He added that the whole subject was
ancient history, and announced his in
tention to vote for Mr.. Harlan's con-
firmation.
Senators SpoOner, Mason and Lindsay
made brief speeches. Senator Mason
spoke of Mr.. Harlan's qualifications as
lawyer, and, said thathe did not think
any the less of Justice Harlan because
Of his attachment for his family. SEN
ator Spooner said there appeared to be
no opposition except that of Senator
Pettigrew. Referring to Senator Spoon
er's remarks, Senator Pettigrew quoted
extracts from editorials in a number
Of newspapers in reprobation of Mr..
Harlan's nomination. He said he had
no purpose to delay vote. and when
he concluded the ballot was taken.
