SlNATE CONFIRMS HARLAN
JUSlgCE'S SON TO BE PORTO RIC1N
 ATTORNEY CENTRAL.

Vote Stood Az to 2I I-~Discussion Last Over Two Iodrs-.senutors Chandler and Hawiey uIash- -Bayes-Tiiden
 Letter Written by MT. Chandler in 1877 and Read by NEr. Pettigrew Yes terday.
 Washington, Jan. 21.--The Senate in
 executive session to-day confirmed the
 nomination of James $. Harlan to be
 attorney general of Porto Rico. The
 final vote was reached after e discus
 sion of more than two hours duration
 and when announced stood 43 to 21 in
 favor of continuation. All the republi-
 cans cast their votes in the affirmative
 and two or three democrats voted with them. The session was characterized by spirited colloquy between Senators
 Chandler and HaWley, in which bitter
 personal language was used. The con-
 troversy between them grew out of 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 occupying his present place) in the settlement of the Louisiana controversy of that time.
 In that letter MT. Chandler stated that a commission of which those two gentlemen were members had been sent to Louisiana by President Hayes to de- stroy the Packard state government. This having been accomplished MT. Chandler said the president then under took to recognize" the members of the commission, giving General Harlan the appointment of an associate justice and offering General Hawley the place of director of the Paris exposition, which the latter declined, Mr. Chandler said, because of the inadequacy of the sal- ary.
 When this point in the article was reached, MT. Hawley interrupted to de- nounce the statement as false, which he did in very emphatic and plain Ian guage MT. Chandler replied in like manner, saying that the article had been prepared by him twenty three years ago; that 1t had never before been contradicted and that he still stood by it. He added that the whole subject was ancient history and an- nounced his intention to vote for MT. Harlan's confirmation.
 Senators Spooner, Mason and Lindsay made brief speeches MT. Mason spoke 1 of MT. Harlan's qualifications as a lawyer and said that he did not think less of Justice Harlan because of his attachment for his family. Mr. Spooner said there appeared to be no opposition except that of Senator Petit | grew. Referring to Senator Spooner's | MT. Pettigrew quoted extracts | from editorials in number of news papers in reproduction of Mr. Harlan's | He said he had no purpose l to delay vote and when he concluded i the ballot was taken. Senator Lodge | gave notice that tomorrow he will | move an executive session for the con- sideration of the Spanish treaty.

Middletown, Jan. 21.-In to-day's city election, the republicans captured all the offices except those of city clerk and collector.
