Senators Beck and Burtmde , Bayard
gaVev-n'itiee\hatihe would like to dis-
cufsthe.questioaof.the houtaaajnat-
iWaj | argament.Jt' * * f ( if * '
Mr. Sherman was clad to know that
tome one on the .democr tc * ide was
'willing1 to--discuss - the * ma'ter on'
the principles at stake. The question
* not BO mush as to who should
occupy the offic-s of the senate , as to
whether the majority of the senatj.
should rolg this maj irijy was nofde-
pendeat on , .tbd vjce-presidt-nr , as
' ' Th "aesti-r"
sh'own'by-precedentsr * -
of law , " if nut i f p'tlitics ' ( Bdmundr ) ,
had openly declared that he thought
the senate cffijt-rs should go wuh the
committees , and his absence , with * nt
making pair , gave the actual majority
of the senators in favor of the pend-
iug resolution. The right of the mi-
_ nuri'y should bs protected. They
had the right of debate and of gain
ing necessity delay , but in the end
the wish of the majority must prevail.
The majority fa * a majority , largo
or smalt. Its , voice was the v oice t f
G id. The senator from Delaware
could throw no light on the subject ,
lor it wasclearas , day. The prece
dents' < f .this ani all countries upheld
the rale of 'the Majority.- The tpeak-
sr denounced the often aHomed plan
of both sides of witholding votes to
prevent a quorum. He never would
do It. He further stated that he
was glad > > co-operate with the sena
tor from Yitginia ( Uahone ) , and her
ald his action as the dawn of a better
day in the south.
Senator jBayard wished that "a republican -
-publican voiao had beea beard in de-
aunciation of ; withholding rotes in the
last session , when that ( republican )
party led in that action. He coincided
with the laat speaker in 'this denuncia
tion in regard to the powers of the
majority , but he could not forget the
right of the minority. The . senator ,
from Ohio should bear In mind that
thirty-nine of the senators on the
floor had voted for Hancock. He
urged thn retention of the present
officers of the senate on the ground
that they would be at great disad
vantage hy being turned out find
denly. The speaker did not care to
discuss at length tbe ! question as , to
whether the republicans hoped ito
carry the coming Virginia election.by ,
the patronage of the United States
senate.
Senator Logan asked if the senator
thought the election of a Virginian to
the office of Bargeant-at-arms of the
senate would turn the political tide of
that sUto.
Senator Bayard hoped it would not.
It wunot to mnch th amount of the
goods stolen M the way in which they
were obtained.
Senator Sherman replied tnSsnator
Bayard , that because- minority of
the senators voted .for Hancock it
was to reason thev should continue
to be a party to .all * the democratic
' . " " "loa ot commifuon.
The majcrlty was cleirly defined , and
had expressed their wish. The people
ple of the country- would never , ap
prove of any * attempt to defeat' the
will ; of the majority. Sherman poke
j > ritfly , aud was followed by BecV ,
JfSo ; reiterated the charge , that the
-openly admitted object of the present
situation of tbe. republicans wi s.to
control .the comiaj .election , in Yir'-i

THE BERLIN MISSIOH.
The official notification of the reslg-
, naiion of the United States minister
at Beilin-has.not been received at
the department of state The only
information received here was con
tained in a private letter to the presi
dent , in whichMr. . White-repressed
a desire to'resign ' at once. Until hit
resignation is officially communicated
to"the secretary of state no action
.will ba taken in the matter , further
than to receive applications for the
position.
t
tBOYXOK'S CASE.
The secretary of state has not yet
opened correspondence with the Brit
ish goverment relative to tbe arrest
and imprisonment in Ireland of young
Boyton. The matter baa been pressed
upon the attention of the secretary in
private Jettera received froJi different
par tiesin New Yirk" and elsewhere.
One ; gentleman writes from Now York
that he has known Boyton alibis life ;
that ; helw i born in New York and is
entitled to the protections of the
United States government. All the
writers use the sterotyped expression ,
"He is languishing in a British
prison , ' " and urge tbe secretary of
state-to rescue him at once. The
writer who attests to Boyton having
been born ( n New York , says he be
came enthusiastic over the exciting
eventsiin Ireland , went" over and be
came .interested in the land question.
The' matter of Boy ton's arrest ia being
investigated by the department of
state. When all the facts are gath
ered the , secretary will decide what
action to take unofficially. It is well
kncwn that Boyton was arrested for
violating British law on' British soil ,
just .the same as we would arrest a
ijritinh subject who here might violate
our laws. The only thing the United
States can do ia to use "it Influence
with the British government to have
sBoyton treated tenderly.
THE DEAD LOCK.
Great anxiety is 'expressed in gov
ernment circles to have the dead lock
in the senate broken , that nomina
tions may receive immediate atten
tion. The publio service is actually
suffering for the attention of officials
whose nominations are bung up In'
the Senate.

The Contest in Cnicago.
Sp cUI Disp&tch to The Bee
CHICAGO , April 5 4 p. m. It is
a jtright cold day , fine for election.
The polls are crowded , opening at 8
o'clock , and both sides expect to get
out a full vote. The interest appears
to be mainly on the part .of the paliti-
clans , as to which party shall control
the city government. The republicans
want to elect J. M. Clark , and their
full ticket. The temperance people
will mainly support Clark because
they profess to have some assurance
that he will enforce the Jaws against
the saloons. The Irish will support
Clark because Harrison gave them
the cold shoulder in the land league
movement. The Germans will mainly
support Clark besanse "Boss" Mess
ing says so , and they know that Hess-
lag will see that they have all the beer
.they want. Notwithstanding these
formidable elements working agtinat
Mayor Harrison , he has the machin
ery of thbcity government , the police
and the firemen , and a host of street
laborers on his side , and he is con
fident of re-election.

The board of education of this city

WIRES.
New York.Tribnnc.
"Oh , it'o not half as dangerous ai it
looks' . lam used to working up high
in the air , and. mind it no more than
working on the ground Besides ,
I've got a clear bead and strong
nerves. When the wood is good and
solid there is mighty little danger ,
and I dig in my spurs tight and feel
persuctly secure sixty .five . feet up in
the air.
The speaker was a telegraph repair
er , or lineman , who had just descended
from a telegraph pole. ' The appara
tus which enables the lineman to as
cend. a telegraph pole with the agility
of a monkey consists of leather leg
gings fastened tightly about the legs
with straps and buckles and steel
spurs on the feet. The spurs are fiat
ars ma'de of steel , passing under the
instep , with a sharp pointed attach
ment fastened at right angles to them.
The latter is the part that is forced
into the * cod by the weight of tbe
body bearing upon it.
"There are twc. kinds of telegraph
repairers , Ifnemen , oz climbers , and
ground men , " continued the speaker.
"The climbers are the men _ who go
up the pol3 and do the repairing , and
gat from forty to seventy five .dollars
a month , The ground men carry the
wire , d'g ' hoi 33 , plant poles and do
other odd j ba. They get ordinary
laborer's wages. The toola I use are
a vice , a pair of pliers and a strap.
When n wire snaps in fwo I catch the
broken euda with the vica and strap ,
and then salice.thum with the plieia.
Of course I don't tie the wires quite
tight together , but a little slack ,
for wneu colder neither comes
they would contract and anup
again. In ci'.ios it U alttays
easy to find out where there's a break
when thd televraph won't work , aud
the damigo is soon repaired. There
are-always a lot of line men kept t
headquarters , and they are ready to
ba sent out at any time. If notice
comes in that there's a break and a
pole has toppled over , the men go to
the. place , drag off tbe broken pole ,
dig out the stump , put in a new pole ,
and then up this climbers go and
splice the wires. Sometimes a new
hole has got to be dug , and we use a
machine called an 'earth auger' which
does the work' very much better and
quicker than a spade "
"Hivrt yon ever been a lineman in
the country V
"Yea , for a short time ; and mighty
hard it is when there is any work.
Each man has a beat of twenty-five or
fifty miles , over which he must make
an inspection tonr at least once a
week. If hia route Is along a railroad
track he usually goes on a hand car.
If the poles don't run alongside the
track , but across open country , he has
a beat about twenty-five miles lee ? ,
and goes out on horseback. He's got
to live near .a station , so that he can
be quickly notified when there's a
break , and must be ready to go at
any time , day or night , in rain or
snow , cold orhot. I had a cross coun
try bpat once. "
"Have yon ever enconntsred any
great difficulties in the performance
of your duly 1"
"Well , I should say so. I wan
called out In the middle of the night
once in January In a blinding snow
storm , and tbe thermometer waa ten
degrees below zero. The snow lay
several feet deep on the mountain
path I had to zide over , and kept fly
ing into my eyes , blinding me so that
I could not see the wires , and I had
to climb up every other pola
for a couple of milas before 1
could find the break and repair
it. I 's a pretty hard lift when there's
stormy weather and there are many
breaks. But then , again , you may
not have to go out in a month , and yon
can just loaf- around while your wages
go right on. But you've got to be al
ways ready for a call. Poles are either
chestnut or cedar. Cedar looks nicer ,
but chestnut lasts a good deal longer.
Wires are usually destroyed by rust.
They usually last from Siven to eight
"
years
