insidious, more pernicious than the for
mer, because it strikes at the very
foundation of free institutions, sets a
precedent for corrupt methods in all
official life and marks the beginning of
dictatorship and decisions Of the ma
tion.
"But, Mr. President, the use OF the
appointive power TO influence the action
OF members oi Congress is only one
means by which this power may be
abused. Federal patronage is also an
effective and dangerous power when
welded for the creation or maintenance
of political machine with the purpose
of forcing denomination of an executive
or the nomination of man OF his
choice.
Extension OF the power of the exec
utivc is the beginning of dictatorship"
No one knew the character OF speech
Senator Bourne intended to make when
he took the floor, and few senator's took
notice until he reached the patronage let
ter. From that moment everyone lis
tened. In spite OF the fact that senators
were surprised, no one said a word in
defense of the president nor attempted
to interrupt the Oregon senator.

RAILROAD SURVEYORS
WITH UNKNOWN MISSION
Are Running Lines in the Hill Section
to the East and South of the Barre
Granite Quarries.

The appearance of a party OF survey
ors in this vicinity and their act in run
ming lines through Orange and Wash
ington toward Bradford has caused no
little speculation as to the parties back
of them. The first report said that fif-
teen surveyors were running line be-
tween Bradford and the Barre granite
quarries and that the Boston & Maine
railroad was back Of the project, intend
ing to build line from its track at
Bradford.
A party OF surveyors has been stopping
in this city for several days Yesterday
three OF them were at work running
line in Orange toward Washington; but
the people in that vicinity did not gain
any information as to the parties back
of the effort.
The party of surveyors began opera
tions last week, surveying the highway
from this city to East Barre. From
East Barre the party has been surveying
the highway from that village to Wash
ington and also the highway to Orange.
1t is said they are also going to survey
up the valley from Kimball's corners to
Lords mills and from there through Fos-
ter's notch towards Waits River.
A portion Of the party stopped at the
hotel Otis in this city last week, but
all are lodging in different houses in

Ended at ll.5O Today With
No Result Reached
IN SENATOR LORIMER CASE
Session Held and the Tired
Senators Closed Up Yesterdays
Legislative Day Just Before
Noon To-day.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 2s.--All night
long the Senate struggled with the SEN
ator Lorimer case, friends of the junior
Illinois senator seeking to break down
the determination Of his opponents not
to permit vote unless important con-
cessions were made to them in relation
to measures pending legislation. AT s
this morning, recess was taken until
ii o'clock, and it was announced that
there was chance for an agreement
More and older members remained in
the Senate chamber throughout the night
than on any occasion within the recol-
lection of the most experienced legisla-
tor present.
When the Senate convened at IL
o'clock, it was stated that all efforts to
effect q compromise had failed, and that
the battle over the resolution affecting
Senator Lorimer's seat was exactly
where it stood when the Senate took
a recess at o'clock The Senate, on
meeting agreed on motion of Senator
eNNts0l Nnil ututHb NUuiu DC Lhktii
at ll:50, thus ending the legislative day
of yesterday
Vice President Sherman was again
in the chair when the Senate resumed its
Monday session to-day, Senator Bris.
tow, who was acting as relief for Sen
ator Crawford, was leading a flibuster
against the Lorimer resolution. He was
recognized by the vice president, but
he Immediately yielded to Senator Bev-
eridge Senator Nelson followed Senator
Beveridge and moved that when ad-
journment Of Mondays session was tax
en- it was to meet at ll:50. This was
agreed to.
Supporters Of Senator Lorimer during
the night advanced his case 10 a posi-.
tion where roll call might be started
any time the opponents Of Lorimer could
be caught mapping This was done by
the passage Of motion by Senator
Bailey that when the vote taken on the
resolution it should be BY calling for
the ayes and hayes.
This meant that roll call could be
started without a preliminary motion
and the response OF single member
as his name was called would prevent
interference until the roll was eompet-
ed.
At 1885 a. M. Senator Crawford, in
terrupted by call for a quorum, made
a mock complaint that his time was
being wasted recklessly.'
A decision by Vice President Sherman
that call for a quorum Of the Senate
was not in order when no business had
intervened since previous call, except
debate BY Senator Crawford in opposi-
tion to Senator Lorimer created consid
cradle feeling among the senators at
80 a. m.
However Mr.. sherman finally con-
sented TO a roll call. II disclosed the
presence of 80 senators. Mr.. Crawford

prepared. Instead of investing In ar

stitute may be made of ordinary fan

hemmed neatly and then soaked and
wrung out in boiling water. When
it is used, it should be laid In

or liquid jelly poured into 1t. The
four ends Of the flannel should then
be tied together and a stick passed
through the knots. The bag can then
be suspended over a bowl by means
of a couple of chains and left to drain
slowly until all the liquid has passed
through. A blanket should be thrown
over the top in cold weather, so as to
prevent the jelly from setting too
soon.
