ALDRICH FILIBUSTER
FIRST IN SENATE
Retards Progress With Argu-
ment on the Omnibus
Claims Bill.

For the first time this session. a fli-
buster was conducted in the Senate this
afternoon. Senator Aldrich. OF Rhode
Island, had charge OF H. For the nrst
time since the hrst Monday IN Deem
Der, he insisted on the journal being
read through
After that, the omnibus claims hin
was kept 10 the front Up to 2 o'clock.
Senator AIduCh's course, as he ex-
planned g 20 the Senate, Vgas prompted
by the fact that he wanted 10 call sno
attention Of the Senate and he country
to the increasing number Of war claims.
He said that Congress ought 10 pass
some legislation that would dispose Of
these claims and would prevent their
increase.
Senators generally, however, took an
other view OF the AldriCh hlibuster. The
opinion was freely expressed that il
was intended 10 prevent the Senate from
taking up a number OF measures such
as the Bever5dse measure regarding
dates on meat cans. the Government
compensation act. and the owen reso-
luton for election Of Senators by direct
vote
To Hasten the End.
It also was believed TO be Senator. AID
rich's purpose 20 hasten adjournment,
by preventing any more measures from
passing the Senate this session.
In the course of the warm discussion
on the omnibus claims bill. Senator
BeVeridge OF Indiana maze brief
speech, in which he said he wanted 10
call the attention Of the country 10 the
fact that the course of the Senator
from Rhode Island, in insisting on the
journal being read, and the forcing Of
the omnibus claims bill TO the front,
was preventing consideration not only
OF his bill regarding the dating OF meat
cans. buI also the consideration OF the
measure for compensation OF Govern
ment employees and various other i'm
pOTtfnt matters.
Opposed to Argument.
He called the Senate's attention to the
fact that he had given warning yester-
day that II the omnibus claims bill were
taken up, it would shut of a large
number OF important bills TO which the
Senate should give attention.
Senator Beveridge remarks did not
result however IN preventing the SEN
ate from proceeding with the omnibus
claims bill. Much comment was heard
about the Senate. 20 the effect that
hereafter the Senate would consider
nothing EXCEPT conference reports on
the supply bills and other matters OF
the utmost Importance. and that the
omnibus claims bill would be used as
far as possible 10 sidetracS any iegisla-
ton which the leaders do not want
uassed this session. This includes the
compensation measure, which the Presi-
oe..t IS anxious TO see passed.

Paris Doubts Story of Mar

PARIS, May Z3-Bent on extracting
either a confirmation or a denial Of the
report cabled from New York last night
that Prince Helie de Sagan and Nine,
Anna Gould were married by a Jersey
City Justice OF the peace at a hotel in
HObOken. April 10. a score or more OF
reporters from Paris newspapers are
beseiging Nine. G9uld's chateau in the
outskirts OF the city today
So far as possible the reporters ars
even kept OF the grounds. Those who
have succeeded in getting as far as
the entrance 10 the citadel itself and
brought responses 10 their clamor at its
portals. have had the door slammed in
their faces the minute they stated their

Planned Fight.

The statement given out at the Whits
House IS as follows;
THE story Is a mere invention. There
was no difference whatever between the
President and the Attorney General over
the New York and New Haven railroad
suit. Yesterday morning attention was
called from Massachusetts, TO the fact
that the Ma Sachusetts State courts had
already acted against the trolley lines
SO far as Massachusetts was con -erneds
and the suggestion was accordingly
made that he action should be brought
IN one OF the other States, inasmuch as
the purpose Of the suit had already been
achieved so far az Massachusetts, vas
concerned The President put the sug-
gestion before the Attorney General and
asked him to bring It UP at the Cabinst
meeting. which was then but half an
hour on
AS a precautionary measure the
newspapers that had the announcement
on the bringing OF the suit were asked
20 hold II up The matter was then dis
eussed n the Cabinet, and II was de-
cided tBat The action of the State courts
IN Massachusetts would make no dIf-
ference in the course OF procedure by
the Government, and the newspapers
we're at once notified that the announce
ment OF the bringing OF the suit would
stand.

President Mellen in Washington to
Take Up Charges Against
His Road.

The most emphatic denial was made
az the White House today Of the state
nent that az the Cabinet meeting yes
terday Attorney General BOnaparts had
rendered hts resignation. because OF q
difference OF opinion between himself
and the President on the question OF the
suit brought against the New York,
New Haven, and Hartford railroad.
Considerable indignation was express
I'd that the story had been given pub
lcity, and it was branded, in a state
ment issued by Secretary Loeb, as "a
mere invention"

No Dispute.

There was 40 division IN the Cabi-
net. and not the slightest friction or
even discussion Of any kind between
any or the Cabinet officers and the
President, or among the Cabinet Of
hcers themselves
The suit in question was determined
on some two months ago. The only
question discussed yesterday was as TO
where it should be brought"
II was said today that President
Charles s. 8IelIen, Of the New York and
New Haven road, had come 10 Wash
ington for the purpose Of taking UP
with some Government official the petit
lion which was fled in Boston yester-
day. Ar. Mellen, however did not call
at the White House,
Secretary Garfield, who was IN the
Cabinet room yesterday from II o'clock
until ,, the hour at which Mr.. Bona
parte left the White House, declared
that there not only was no threat OF
resignation made BY the Attorney Gen
eral. but that there was no disagree
ment between the President and his
Cabinet officer in connection with the
proposed suit.
Suit Planned Months Ago.
The White House statement says that
the suit was determined upon three
months ago, and this serves TO illus
trate the surprise Of the railroad Of
ficials who have expressed themselves
as absolutely confident that no action
would be taken against them by the
Federal Government. AS late as Thurs
day Vice President Byrne made the
positive statement that the Governments
would not bring suit against his road.
and Vice President Buckland has stated
on several occasions that he had been
assured that no action was contem-
plated.

Prince Is Her Guest.


Nine Gould is unQuestIonably At home.
and the prince IS presumed 20 be her
guest there He certainly went 10 her
chateau on their return from Italy, and,
had he transferred his headquarters
elsewhere, the reporters think some OF
his friends would have been sure 10
know It,
on the whole. Paris is inclined TO
doubt the marriage story. II can under
stand how q liberal distribution Of lar
gesse might have insured secrecy, but
the general impression is that. whatever
Nine Gould may think about it. the
prince wants his wedding not only legal.
but public, and ia due form.
There would be serious question
whether France would recognize such
marriage as the one described in New
Jersey, and full Official approval of TIE
union IN this country IS essential 10 the
protection OF many OF both Nine.
GOuld's aad the princes financial inter
esls, not % mention the fact that both
are anxious TO give Count BOni de Cas-
tellane no possible ground fer claiming
the custody OF his children.
Couple Attract Attention.
Though the couple have attracted
considerable attention by their lover
Ike behavior since their return 10 Eu-
rope, they have both invariably mani
tested a strict regard for all the pro-
prieties-rather stricter, OF at least more
formaI-than would naturally have been
expecte1 from husband and wife.
A reporter made an effort to interview
Prince Helie de Sagan.
lis it true that you and Anna Gould
were married in the United States, just
prior TO your departure?' was the ques-
ten put to the prince this morning,
when found in his hotel
Prince de Sagan seemed TO accunu-
late the wrath which he felt against
all journalists as ne looked the ques-
TONER squarely in the eye.
THAT is a question which 7 positively
refuse to discuss" said he.
Helie Refuses TO Answer.
But it Is reported that you and Nine
Gould were married ny q justice OF the
peace IN Hoboken within several hours
OF your sailing" persisted the inter-
viewer
To this the prince would vouchsafe
neither denial nor affirmation. After
a moment S silence he turned about and
hurried away refusing even to listen 20

THE DAY IS CELEBRATED
jefferson Davis Name is Hon.
Ored in Grenada.

The United Daughters OF the Con
federacy, Of Grenada, planned ex'
tensive ceremonies for the observance
of the one hundredth anniversary, OF
the birth of Jefferson Davis in this
city on Wednesday, June 3. Owing
to the rain the services at the ceme'
terry were abandoned. That part OF
the program which was to be carried
out at the First Baptist church was
executed. The church was very ap-
propriately decorated. Just over the
chancel was a life size portrait OF
Mr.. Davis with the words Lest we
forget" encircling the top.
DR.. B. F. Ward, Of WinOna, was
present by invitation and made an
address briefly reviewing the political
and marshal life of the SOuth'S great
chieftain which was thoroughly ap.
preclated by the audience. Col. o.
F. Bledsoe also made an address on
the same subject which was rich in
portrayal and full of lofty sentiment.
Col. Bledsoe dealt largely with the
personal and christian character of
Mr.. Davis. Had the weather not
been 50 unfavorable, a large crowd
would have undoubtedly participated
in the services.

BISHOP GALLOWAY AND WIFE,
Stop Over in Grenada Both in
Fine Health.

Bishop Charles b. Galloway "and
his wife came down from Oxford on a
DELAYED train Thursday and spent
that evening and night in Grenada.
They were both looking well and the
Bishop expressed much pleasure at
having attended the commencement
-xelcises at the University. His ad-
dress there on jefferson Davis will
perhaps be the most widely read ora
tion of the kind delivered
in the United states on that day.
The Bishop has a world wide reputa-
tion and is noted not only as a great
divine but as a man of wonderful
breadth of thought.

Hon. s. A. Morrison Not 4 Candi.
date For Congress.

Hon. S A. Morrison OF this county
authorizes the statement that he will
not become a candidate for Congress
at this election. This will be dis
appointing to Mr.. Morrison's en-
thusiastic friends throughout the dis
trict who have been urging him to
make the race. He is deeply SEN
sible of the confidence and esteem of
his friends but he deems it best for
him to apply himself to his profession
for at least few years longer when
he will no doubt be heard from in
congressional politics.
Mr.. MORRISON would have had a
strong following had he entered the
race. He bas demonstrated his ability
to take care Of himself as teacher,
at the bar and in legislative halls. He
is a strong man intellectually and a
bold and fearless thinker and he can
be depended upon to give good ac-
count Of himself wherever he is placed.

The concluding exercises Of the
public school ON Friday May 90 were
attended by large number Of the
patrons The work of the high
school department made splendid
showing. Those on the program
Friday morning acquitted themselves
with unusual credit. Those who com.
pleted the tenth grade we're awarded
diplomas, the board Of trustees having
discontinued the eleventh grade.
On Friday afternoon the music pu-
pills of Miss Eva Coney gave most
delightful and credltable recital. Too
much cannot be said in praise Of the
young girls who compose this class.
TriOS, duets, and solos gave a nice
variation to the program and each
pupil gave evidence OF thoroughness
and care in ber training. Miss CoDey
is an excellent teacher, and her many
friends will be glad to learn Of her re-
election as teacher CT music in the
city schools.

Col. BIedsoe on Sisson...sisson s
mo Platform" Still Haunts Him

To T. U. Sisson, as spoken in the
joint debate between Messrs Hill,
SisSOn and himself at Walthall, Miss.
! L have been accused of stirring up
this little tempest in the Fourth con-
gressiOual district by venturing out
alone against Hon. w. S. Hill, who
was then considered invincible. But
now as the prospects Of an opponent
gathering the congressional plum in
crease, the field is becoming full of
gallant RichmondS. A recent acceS-
sion, contrary to the wishes and hopes
Of many Of his friends, is my distin-
guiShed opponent. Hon. Il. u. SiSsOn,
who has first spoken. Now, Mr..
Sisson has been blamed by some for
rushing into the field at this time
against his old friend, Hon. w. s..
Hill. and after having previously ex
pressed an intention or resolution to
the contrary. But those who criti-
else should remember that his past
life shows that whenever Mr.. Sisson
shifts an office in the air it is impoS-
Sible for him to resist going after it.
Hence we should not Judge him too
harShly when he Yields to his conSti-
tutional intirmity, especially when
there is a salary Of 1900 ahead Of
the office.
Mr.. SiSSOn expressed the laudable
hope that there would be no scars in
this contest, and | am quite sure that
there will not be, for Mr.. SiSSOn
urges that he will not inflict any, and
| am absolutely certain that no scars
could be left on him, even if his op-
pOnentS should try to inflct them.
Mr.. SiSSon is like diSembodiCd spirit.
There is no platform or place or pro-
position that can hold him for any
length of time, and you had as well
try to impress a scar on an invisible
inhabitant of the air as try TO intlict
scar on him. But a Sadder result
than scars may follow. l heard in
WinOna that after this fight there
would be a political funeral over there.
This would be sad indeed, for if he
had held off from this contest he
might have been nominated for gov
ernOr the next time, as he lacked on
ly forty Or fifty thousand votes OF
being nominated in the last primary.
But such are the diSappOintmentS of
politics, and such are the wrecks
which are being constantly Strewn on
the political shore. Before bidding
him adieu l will say just here that il
Mr.. SiSSon should, even if sent tC
congress, rant about the big things he
proposes to do, like he has done here
today, he would be as far from accom-
pliShng anything as he is IN my view
from ans prospect of ever getting
there. Why, his speech was nothing
