The committee had up for consideration
one of the Commercial Clubs street-im-
provement bills. Messrs. Miller, Bradford
and Claypool were Directing TO some Of itg
provisions. Mr.. Bradford suggested that an
amendment be tackled on the bill which
would prevent any property owner being
taxed more than a certain per cent. of the
value of his property for any Improvement
that might affect him. Mr. Bradford said
the assessed value of the property could be
determined by examining the assessors
books; hence il would not be necessary for
the Board Of Works TO appoint appraisers
to do this work. Mr.. Miller and Mr. Clay
pool were inclined to share the views ad
vanced by Mr.. Bradford. The latter said
he had no figure to suggest in fixing the
per cent. of value to be considered. but
he would be willing TO leave this to the
judgment OF the Legislature

Were Taken by the Beers

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-No business of

sion of more than two hours duration was

ton was adopted.

ing American methods in his work He
was deprived of the claims by order of

the judges were removed summarily from
office Subsequently, the new court dis
missed the case of Mr.. Brown, and he was
invited to institute a new suit. Realizing
that the court was packed against him,
he decided TO appeal TO his own govern
ment for justice and with view to Sc
curing his rights defined by the highest
court of the Transvaal republic Mr.. Tur-
ner said the claims of Mr. Brown were now
worth So, coo, 900 or $1,000. coo. In view of the
governmental change that had taken place

pose OF his resolution was to press upon
Great Britain the merit OF the claim of
Mr.. Brown. and to ascertain what steps

gard TO Ii since that government had as
sumed the responsibilities of sovereign

Bitter Personal Language Used by
Chandler and Haw1ey While En-
gagged i'm a COIIOquy.
NOMINATION OF ]. HARLAN
TO BE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF POR-
TO RICO CONFIRMED, AZ TO FL.
Americans Claim for Property Seized
by Bocrs-Opponcnts of the Ship
Bill Loaded with Speeches.

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 a discussion of more than
two hours duration, and when announced
stood 43 to p in favor of confirmation. All
the Republicans cast their votes in the af
firmative and two or three Democrats voted
with them. The session was characterized
by a spirited colloquy between Senators
Chandler and Hawley. in which bitter per-
sCnal language was used. The controversy
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 Mr.. Chandler stated that COM
mission, of which those two gentlemen had
been members had been sent to Louisiana
by President Hayes to destroy the Pack
ard state government. This having been
accomplished, Mr.. Chandler said, the Presi-
dent then undertook to recognize" the
members of the commission, giving General
Harlan the appointment of an assistant
justice and offering General Hawley the
place of director of the Paris exposition,
which the latter had declined, Mr.. Chandler
said, because of the inadequacy of the
salary.
When this point in the article was
reached Mr. Hawley interrupted in some
what excited manner to denounce the state
ment as false. which he did in very en-
phatic and plain language. Mr.. Chandler
replied In like manner, saying that the ar.
ticle had been prepared by him twenty
three years ago; that it had never before
been contradicted and that he still stood
by 1t. He added that the whole subject
was ancient history and announced his in
tention to vote for Mr.. Harlan's confrma-
ton.
Senators Spooner, Mason and Lindsay
made brief speeches. Mr. Mason spoke of
Mr.. Harlan'S qualifications as a LAWYER
and said that he did not think any less of
Justice Harlan because of his attachment
| for his family. Mr.. Spooner said there APP
peared to be no opposition. except that of
Senator Pettigrew. Referring to Senator
| Spooner's remarks Mr.. Pettigrew quoted
| extracts from editorials in a number of
newspapers in reprobation of Mr. Har-
| lan's nomination. He said he had no pu--
| pose to delay vote. and when he conclud-
ed the ballot was taken.
Senator Lodge gave notice that to-mor-
| row he will move an executive session for
