for J many J oars Mr lilaiuo has seldom
traveled 1 any considerable distance w'thout '
his 1 son Walker There were three of the
lilaiuo 1 boys All of then had many of the
facial 1 characteristics of their father , and
each had many of his trults of character but
neither of the other two hal bo many of the
fathers 1 characteristics as Walker Emmons i ,
the I second son , is n railroad man , and lives
at Baltimore Ho thinks of business and at

the ' trade of railroad machinist and a
though j ho looks like bis futhor , bo has as
little of his literary and political tnsto as
Emmons WnUor was a lawyer , a reader
of j books a student of literature and above
all i a statesman und a politician Ho was
with his futher bo much and had so muny of
his fathers characteristics that he could
mulntain bis father s policies on ail occu

I he father , in the discharge of bis ofllclul

upon i Walker , who was a cbugonlal com L
pamon truthful and faithful The death
of I Walker Hlu'no is something mora
than i r. family loss It is a loss to
tbo codntry His fathers aim was to
make him his worthy successor He hoped
tnat when bo laid down tbo cares of public

Mr Chnullor offorcd n resolution which
wik reforrcd to the committco on contl lgent
expenses , for an Investigation committee on
Immigration to investlgito vurious laws of
the United btates nnd of the several states
relating . . , to Immigration , nlso to investigate
the ' working of contracts made with the

took . up Mr Morgan's resolution rocognlJne
tbo United States of Hnml
J- as n free indo
} pendeut uud fovoroljn state , and Mr lurpio
proceeded to make n spocch in support of lt
Mr lurpio said ho had voted against the
reference of the resolution becnuso ho
thought the delay occasioned by the refer
once wholly unuecessary Ho favored the
lmmcdUto recognition of the republic of
Brazil Ho was uot ono of these who enter
tamed { ' the opinion tnat congress vvts boun 1
bj the action or non-action of the oxucutlvo
or of the state department ubout such n mat
ter as thu recognition of a now nationality
especially u new republic Congress might
co operate with tho30 authorities lho post
tlon , ha said , of the administration toward
the now republic of Brazil wus ono of
strict neutrality and suplno Indifference
lhoro was not in the message
of the president a worl of
sympathy or cncouruiomont to thorevolu
tionary movement As to the presidents
suggestion of aw litmg the popular assent to
the chuiito of government iu Brazil Mr
Turplo j suld a revolution was not the first
stop , but the last stop Inoro was always
popular asseut before a revolution became
fiagtnnt and successful Tbo assumption In
the presidents message that the revolution
ary * government of Brazil Ind been ostnb
lished 1 without or against the assent of the
people disclosed the ical nttttudo of the ad
ministration tovvaid the now govoriimont lt
approached very nearly a condition of
covert hostility It expressed a partly
conceded but vorv apparent assertion , oven
J sneer at the sovoremnty of tbo republic of
Brazil The time had come when the ox
istoni ' o and uuthority of the rcpublio of Bra
zilcould bo no longer cou'rovortod iu words
It could bo controverted only by wui lho
chairman of the committco on forclrn rcla1J
tiotis Mr Sherman , had told the senate it
should watt and inspect thu new constitution
of Brazil The United St itcs , howovoi , was
not concerned to know what were the i ur
ticulur provisions of that constitution ibo
president of the United States had
oecn long known as n republic in ,
using \ the word In its larcor and
better 1 sense but luipio feared in this in
stance ! the niesldont wns a very much belated
republican In the case of Brazil oven Mr
Blaine scomel to limp and linger iu the ro ir
of opportunity Ho contrasted the delay
with ' the recognition of the rcpublio of
j Franco in 1870 by Mr Wnshburno under
instructions . from President Grant 'Ho i
trusted the delay in recognition had not nl
ready led to a very serious misconstruction i
of , the ulterior motives and Intentions of the i
United | States government
j The resolution went ever without further
action , The senate then took up the calendar
and ' passed the following scnnto bills
Rotating to homestead entries In Indian i
Territory , to authonre the construction of n i
bridge j across the Missouri river within ono i
.
. mile of tbo mouth of tbo Kansas river , up-
proprlatlngtlOJ I 000 for the purchase of a site i

for a ball of records
. The Russian extradition tienty was rocom
mltted to the committee on foreign relations
. There was considerable disc ission on the i
clause . specific illy setting forth that thumur
dor or nn attempt to mur Icr the cur or any

I | olitlc U offense Without this speci il dellni
tion i the text of the treaty it was ur ued by
some : of tbo senators , placed tbo czar and the
peasant I ; on the same level and afforded them '
the I same protection It was no' necessary or
just ; they said , to hamper the couits in nd
vance by deciding for them that uny attempt ;
upon tbo llfo of a member of the Russian i
family was not a political crime It is the
impression ! that vv ith the clause relating to
the i czar nnd family eliminated the treaty
