 in the State.

New Haven, May 4-The temper ance committee of the New Taven Pastors union will send out tomorrow for signatures circulars to all the clergymen in the state, which 1t is intended shall form the basis of next years temperance campaign in the state. The circular recites that ex- perience in New Haven shows that in this state there is ample and suff1- ciently drastic law, but the trouble 'is in the administration and inter pretation of the law" The circular then calls attention to the alleged working of the certificate law in all lowing renewals of licenses after con viction of saloon keepers, it says that judges have interpreted the statutes too literally and that the certificate has been abused by the county com missions for the protection of the convicted saloon keeper"
 Amendment of the law is proposed making the certificate apply only to technical violations and allowing evil dence to be offered showing unsuita- biIity to the licensee and violations before and after conviction. and also holding principles responsible for the acts of agents. The circular also says that some of the Connecticut citizens favor a law for one license to each 1 900 inhabitants. That leading poli- tfcians say they will make a party ance sentiment demands it." and it also proposes a state excise commission of three persons appointed by the gov ernor in place of the present eight county commissions. The document is signed by nine clergymen of this city who constitute the Pastors union temperance committee.

 His very presence on the floor is apt to cause a little amusement"

 IT Cnl6 statement was meant to have modifying effect it went wide of the mark Mir. Hepburn appealed to the chair.
 NO senator on this floor is entitled to make a remark so full of inten- tional insult as that spoken by the senator from Connecticut" he said. The rules provide protection against such treatment"
 MT. BuIkeiey Makes Amends.

He demanded a ruling on the question of privilege which he had raised Yielding, the vice president held that the remark by the Connecti- cut senator was in disparagement of his Idaho colleague.
