DENOUNCED BY Mr.. HAWLEY
OLD CHARGES BY MIR. CHANDLER
READ IN THE SENATE.
The Hayes-Tilden Electoral Contest
Recalled During the Debate on
the Harlan Nomination.

The nomina ton Of James S, Harlan to be
attorney general of Porto Rico was con-
firmed by the Senate yesterday afternoon
after an exciting controversy between Sena-
tors Chandler and Hawley. The discussion
preceding the confirmation lasted two
hours, the vote being 43 to 81 in favor Of
confirmation. All the republicans cast their
votes in the affirmative, and two or three
democrats voted with them.
The session was characterized by spirit
ed 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 contro-
versy over the Hayes-Tiiden 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 contro-
versy of that time. In that letter Mr..
Chandler stated that commission of
which those two gentlemen were members
had been sent to Louisiana by President
Hayes to destroy the Packard state gov
eminent. This having been accomplished
Mr. Chandler said the President then I'M
dertook to recognize" the members of
the commission. giving Mr. Harlan the ap-
pointment of an associate justice and offer
ing Mr.. Hawley the place of director of
Tie TaFiS ekpOSltlOH, winch the latter HdO
declined, Mr.. Chandler said, because of
the inadequacy of the salary.
When this point in the article was
reached, Mr.. Hawley interrupted to de-
neunce the statement as false, which he
did in plain and very emphatic language.
Mr.. Chandler replied in like manner, say
ing that the article had been prepared by
him twenty-three years ago; that it had
never before been contradicted, and that he
still stood by it. He added that the whole
subject was ancient history. and announced
his intention to vote for Mr.. Harlan's con-
flrmation.
Senators Spooner, Mason and Lindsay
made brief speeches. Mr. Mason spoke of
Mr.. Harlan's qualifications as lawyer, and
said that he did not think any the less of
Justice Harlan because of his attachment
for his family.
Mr.. Spooner said there appeared to be no
opposition except that of Senator Pettigrew.
Referring to Senator Spooner's remarks,
Mr.. Pettigrew quoted extracts from edi-
torials in a number of newspapers in repro
baton of Mr.. Harlan's nomination. He said
he had no purpose to delay a vote, and
when he concluded the ballot was taken
Senator Lodge gave notice that today he
would move an executive session for the
consideration of the Spanish treaty.

A BRANCH SOLDIERS HOME.
Bill Passed by the House Locates 1t al
johnson City, Tenn.

cohAhSoh wy Achh.
/ In the House yesterday afternoon Mr.
Ray On. ", chairman of the committee on
judiciary, moved the passage, under sus-
pension of the rules, of bill to permit
subjects of foreign countries claiming in
demnty for injuries received in this coun-
try to bring suit in the court of claims.
The bill, by its terms, applies only to citi-
zens of countries according like privileges
to citizens of the United States and pro-
vides that the United States can set I'D a
defense against such claims that the
claimants have resided in the United States
continuously for one year. Mr.. Ray ex-
planned that the State Department had
been overrun with claims of foreign citi-
Gems for indemnity. and the proposed leg
islation was strongly recommended by that
department.
Mr.. Hit Qll) said the bill had been pre-
pared by former Secretary of State Olney,
and such legislation had been recommended
by many previous secretaries of state. AL
most all the powers of the world, Mr.. Hit
said, provided tribunal for the trial Of
such cases. Our system, he said, had re-
suited in the presentation and payment Of
+ eXtraVagant claims.
Mr.. DeArmond CMo.), on behalf of
| minority of the committee on judiciary, OPP
posed the bill, which, he said, proposed to
give to foreign citizens privileges not ae-
corded to our own citizens. The reci-
procity feature of the BILL he said, also was
| objectionable InlS legislation would Offer
a general invitation to speculative lawyers
| to rake and scrape the foreign population
| for pretext to bring suit against the gov
| eminent. Instead of being a measure in
| the interest of economy, this bill would
prove extremely costly.
| Mr.. Williams (Miss) thought the bill did
not go far enough. He believed that the
| circuit courts should be opened not only
| to citizens of foreign countries, but citizens
! Of the United States. The bill was defeat
| ed, 81 to 81.
| Mr. Brownlow Crenn) moved to suspend
| the rules and pass the Senate bill to es-
| tablish a branch soldiers home at John
son City, Washington, county, Tenn. Mr..
| Hull Qowa), chairman of the COMMITTEES
on military affairs. said that there had been
over 600 Union soldiers in Tennessee,
| Kentucky and North Carolina, and it was
only right that a home should be estab-
| lished within reach of the surviving Union
| soldiers of the south.
The bill carried an initial appropriation
of $4,000, but Mr.. Cannon Qll) said II
the home was built it would cost eventually
81, 10000
/ The bill was passed, also was a bill
to increase the salary of the commissioner
of education Of Porto Rico from $1,000 to
1900 per annum. At sos p.m the House ad.
