STATUS OF DR.. McLEAN.--The House COM
mittee on privileges and elections has not yet
formulated a report in the case Of the member
from Mecklenburg, Dr. Z. p. Mclean, whose
status has been questioned as result of his
refusal to take the oath. The matter was re-
ferred to subcommittee consisting Of Messrs.
Cumming, West and Heermans. Each mem-
Der Of the committee has formulated sepa-
rate report to the full committee, and while
all reach substantially the same recommended
ton, they do not agree as 10 the law and facts.
1t is said that the report Of Mr.. Heermans
the republican member Of the subcommittee,
may be adopted by the full committee. Ac-
ton in the matter is delayed by reason Of the
absence of Mr.. West, Of Louisa, who is quar-
antined. II would be rather remarkable if a
democratic committee adopted the recon-
mendation Of the only republican member of
the sub committee constituted by it.-(Rich-
mond Dispatch.

men be recognized in appointments
to positions to deputy collectors of
customs and internal revenue

Actions speak louder than words, Sc
the sincerity of Mr.. Hoar concerning
his antitrust bill may well be ques-
toned. When Senator Vest was max
ing his speech in the Senate on Monday
in advocacy OF his resolution in favor Of
taking the tariff off of coal it was more
than passing strange that Senator Hoar,
another Of the very old men of the
body, was alone inclined to be dis
courteous and could frequently be heard
making comments upon Mr. Vests
statements to those sitting about him.
But Mr.. Hoar is given to talking one
way and acting another.

ATTACKED BY HIS WFE.-C. r..
Kelley was attacked by his wife in his
attorneys Office in Norfolk yesterday
with a pitcher Kelley is a son of the
late Judge A. NJ. Kelley, of the United
States Court, who was also United States
minister to Egypt. He came to Norfolk
presumably from Richmond, to consult
James Z. Duncan. His wife, Mrs.
Dorothy Kelley, arrived from New York
during the morning and sought him at
the lawyey's Office. She demanded to
know his whereabouts, and upon being
put off she recognized her husbands
voice in the private office, which she en-
tered and, Selling pitcher, attacked Mr..
Kelley. Mr.. Duncan endeavored TO
pacify the wife, but she turned on him.
She was finally subdued. Then she went
to police headquarters and had lawyer
and client arrested for assaulting and
beating her. Mrs. Kelley was Dorothy
Doffrom, dancer in comic opera. She
came to Norfold by advice of Chief Detec-
tive Titus, of New York, where year
ago she secured decree of separation.

SENATE.


In the opening prayer in the Senate
this morning, the chaplain invoked
divine blessings upon s'those in whom
Thou hast implanted the grace of
Iiberality; and by the inspiration of con-
spicuous examples in philanthropy, may
all men knew the right use of wealth.
Mr.. Quay had read resolution from
Booth Camp, Spanish American war
veterans of New Mexico, petitioning for
statehood and calling particular attention
to the fact that 10 the late war that ter
ritory furnished one soldier for each $50
of its population.
A House bill amending the internal
revenue laws relating to distilled spirits
in bonded warehouse was passed.
Mr.. Foraker offered joint resolution,
extending the thanks Of Congress to
General Adna r. Chaffee, and the Off
GERS and men under his command, in
China, for their heroic services during
the recent military operations there.
Upon his motion it was referred to the
committee on military affairs.
The resolution of Mr.. Vest to place
anthracite coal on the free list, coming
over from the previous day, was taken
UP at 1890 clock.
Mr.. Aldrich, N speaking against its
adoption, said he took it for granted
that every one in the chamber symra-
thized with the serious condition pre-
vailing but he declared that the pending
resolution would prove of no avail in
afording relief If the duty was re-
moved, the coal that would be imported
would be the semi-anthracite from Wales,
the duty upon which would still he col
lected. Taking the coal importation for
last November, the total number of tons
we're 400, 900 of which only SO, 600 tons
we're anthracite, an infnitessimal por-
tion of the whole. Mr.. Aldrich said an
other feature involved was that of the
right of the Senate to originate revenue
bills. The adoption of the resolution,
he declared, would precipitate a discus
sion in Congress that would far outlast
the coal famine, for the House had long
insisted upon its prerogative and the
Senate had invariably receded. 'The
only reason / can discover for the intro
duction of the resolution is to furnish the
text for political speech or a series of
political speeches." said Mr. Aldrich
earnestly.
Mr.. Aldrich expressed the hope that
the Senator from Missouri would agree
to the reference of the resolution to the
finance committee, of which he as well
as the speaker is member.
In reply, Mr.. Vest declared that he
had been a member of the Senate long
enough to know that when the chairman
of the finance committee wished to de-
stroy a measure there were none so
adroit. He said that if he had not pro-
duced sufficient reason why the resolu-
ton should not be referred to the COM
mittee the remarks of the Senator from
Rhode Island would prove conclusiyely
that such reference would mean its con-
Segment ''to the tomb of the Capitol
The resolution went over without los
ing its place and the omnibus statehood
bill was taken up.
The Senate determined that when it
adjourned today to be until Monday.

HOUSE..

The House committee of the whole
gave consideration 10 the Philippine
consta5uIary bill. The bill aims TO pro-
mote the efficiency of the Philippine
constabulary by giving the rank and
pay of a brigadier general of the army
to the army officer of inferior rank, in
command of the service, and the rank
and pay of a colonel to officers serving
as assistant chiefs of the service. The
differences in salary by the officers from
the United States and the allowances
made under this bill are to be paid from
the Philippine treasury. 1t is contend
ed that the captains detailed to the con-
stabulary service have notsufiicient rank
to demand the respect of the natives.
Mr.. Cooper, chairman of the commit
tee on insular affairs, said that the bill
had the support of the Philippine Com
mission and the War Department of
ficers.
Mr.. Maddox said it was an outrage to
tax the poor people of the Philippines,
who are in actual want, by making them
contribute to the incomes of favorite of
ficers.

Beirut Troubles Exaggerated.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Chekib Bey
the Turkish minister to the United
States called at the STATE department
this morning and presened a dispatch
which he had received from his gov
eminent concerning last Sunday S
riot at Beirut. 1t says that eight per
sons were killed, one of whom was a
soldier and the others civilians and
so injured. The dispatch adds that
the incident had no other bad results.
Many persons who at the time fed to
Lebanon are returning and a state Of
perfect calm has been established.
The troubles were greatly exaggerat-
ed by some cOnsuls who received their
Information from panic stricken per-
sons and sent it to their governments
without information. Chekib Bey
says that HAHN, governor general OF
Damascus, who has been appointed
acting governor general of Beirut is
an exceptionally capable official, who
was for several years chief of police
at Constantinople.
The minister knows him personally
and he expresses the greatest conf
dence in mis- ability to maintain order
and settle the Magelssen case salts
factOrily to the government.

FURNITURE DEALERS
ARE AT WAR
With Manufacturers Regarding the
Sale of Furniture Direct to
Hotels

New York, Sept 11.-Furniture
purchases by hotel men are threaten
ing the peace of the furniture trade of
the United Sta7es. 1t has been the
custom of furniture manufacturers to
treat with purchasers for hotels on
the basis of wholesale buyers. Retail
dealers have taken formal action TO
force the manufacturers to consider
the hotel men as retailers and quote
prices accordingly. While there has
for a long time been grumbling by
the retailers, the matter has not
taken the form of an organized move
ment until this week. when the Ma
tional Association Of Retail Furniture
Dealers sent formal notification to
the manufacturers of furniture
throughout the United States that any
further sales to hotel men at whole
friendly act and treated accordingly
The manufacturers do not relish
what they term the attempted iicta-
ton Of the retailers and say they will
make sales at such prices to hotel
men as the trade warrants. On the
side of the manufacturers the claim is
set up that hotel furniture is, in a
measure, a class by itself; that the
buyer is not purchasing for his own
personal use. or profit, but for he
accommodation of the public; that nc
private individual buys or can be eX-
pected TO buy on the scale or in the
quantity that the hotel man does
that he is to all intents and purposes
Wholesale buyer and in conse-
quence is entitled to the same consid
Grafton.
The retailers association claims
that the hotel man purchases for his
own use AMI for his own house; that
in affording him wholesale rates
the manufacturers are deliberately
discriminating against the retailers
and taking from the retailers a CON
siderable source of profit; that such
action will not be further tolerated
and that the manufacturers who rec
ognize the retailers rights will re
ceive the bulk of the trade. The sit
uation has assumed so serious a
phase that it is now proposed that a
meeting of committees Of the Nation
al Furniture Manufacturers, associa
ton and the National Retail Furniture
Dealers association be held and a
thorough discussion of the matter
| had.
