PROTECTION OF PRESIDENTS
The Measure Debated In the Senate
Yesterday.

Washington, March Occurring the
entire session of the senate yester.
day the bill providing for the pro.
lection of the president of the Unite!
States was under consideration. Mr..
Spooner, IF Wisconsin, contended
that the government had an absolute
and inherent right to protect itself
from assaults made either upon Il
self or upon any of it's officers. He
maintained that an assault on the
president was in the very nature Of
things an assault on the government. ;.
for there never was a time when the
president was not in the exercise uf
the duties of his Office. His argu-
ment was largely legal and constitu-
tional and throughout was forceful
and entertaining and instructive.
Mr.. Hoar, IN charge of the measure.
elucidated some arguments he had
made previously, and Mr.. Teller, of
Colorado, and Mr.. Bailey, of Texas.
spoke briefly upon the bill. The
Texas senator said he could not SUI
port the measure as it stands, be-
cause he could conceive of an assault
made upon tire president as a person
and not as an official of the govern
ment. The assailant, in that even.
ought to be punished precisely as IL
he had assaulted any other citizen.

SPECTACULAR AND SENSATIONAL
Were Movements Wednesday in Stock
Market-Some of the
Features.

New York, March 20-It is not Of
such a series of spectacular and SEN
sational movements as it was treate /
to Wednesday, and in rather dull
market at that. In fact, the dullness
in the general list was extreme and
prices of the important railroad
stocks moved only with the utmost
reluctance. The usual 'fayoriteS
among the industrials had a larger
share in the trading, both Amalga-
mated Copper and Sugar occupying
fairly prominent places. But it was
among the stocks which are traded
in only at intervals of weeks as a
rule that the speculation was fierce
and the price movement violen-.
Among other movements activity was
revived in New York Airbrake, with
a jump of l02 in price and subse-
quent relapse Of fully half that. The
rise Of 51a IL General Electric and of
3 in Westinghouse were due to ru-
mors Of consolidation, but both CT
these reacted sharply. There was con
siderable demand for Baltimore AMI
Ohio. The rise of rs in Sugar was
due to the agreement reached at
Washington upon the question Of the
Cuban sugar tariff, and also to the
certificate IF condition filed with the
Massachusetts secretary, showing
large increase in resources.
The bond market was rather dull
and irregular Total sales, par value,
$2,615,000.
United States bonds were all I'M
