DmOCRATIO ELECTION METhODS.
The appropriation bill was temporarily laid
aslo to permit Mr. Chandler to make a
speech on "recont election methods of the
democratic part ) ' . " lie took up the election
of a number of democratic senntors. Con-
, corning Limo election ot Mr. Murphy ot New
York , he did not question its legislative security -
rity , but declared It was thought about by a
gerrymander ali various Corms ot election-
coring larceny , In which he Indicated that
the then ( governor and present senator from
New York was concerned , As to the elec-
te ot Mr. Martha ot lCansas , Mr. Chandler
said the senator , although a democrat , had
made a "closo connectIon" with the populist
connecton" populst
memher" ot the Kansas legislature , and emi
becoming a senator had secured all the demo-
crate patronage whIch time state of Kansas
received from the national administraton ,
The populsts , were thus deceived. "They
cheate,1 , to get hIm In , " said Mr. Chandler ,
"anll the results have been what might have :
been expected. " As to the seat now occupied
by Mr. Roach ot North Dalotn , ! r. Chandler
declare It Would bo fle ( by n republican
IC there had not been time basea t manipulation
maulpulton
In whIch time speaker of the house and his
confederates had Particliated. : Mr. Chandler
denonnce the "traitors" ot that transaction.
He then took up time investigation whIch time
senate began as to the private record of Mr.
Hoeh , and read from the record lo show how
action ou the investigation hall been avohleJ.
"And so , " said he , "the former cashier of
the Citizens National bank ot Washington
Continues to occupy a stat as n democratic
democrnte
sena tar. "
Mr. Roach mt at his desk throughout this
arrlgllment ,
I
Mr. Chandler then reviewed In detail time
proceedings ef the Kansas legislature In the I ,
election oC : Ir. Martin and declared It made
as vicIous a record as was ever presented
In electioneering Crnml. "lie Is still here , "
said 1r. Chandler , "and will remain until I
next Monday , when thc demecrtc congress
comes to an Ignominious cnd. "
As to Mr. Kyle and Mr. Allen , they had (
acted With the democrats ot the senate ns
Mr. Fairer had at thrice ncted with the republicans -
publicans , but : Ir. Chaniler did not criticize
these actions. But , he sahl , It made It pos-
sible , "wih the unlawful : and fraudulent
vote of Mr. Martin and the vote of Mr.
Roach , who should never have remained In
thc senate one day after the facts ot his life
were known for time democratic majority of
the senate to be maintained. "
Mr. Chandler closed with a , rerrrence to
11' . Gorman's recent figure at speeeb , "that
a bow of promise for democracy was In the
sly , " which , said the New Hampshire
senator , was merely a flash from the lower
region
I.HLL UP TO REPLY.
Mr. II was immediately on his feet when :
Mr. Challer hal fnlshell He said the
senate had witnessed an extraordinary spec-
tacle. The enator fro ! New Hampshire
sought at this , time closing hour of the senate ,
to stir up. sorc partsan bitterness. "Dut
this spectacle this senator has presented to-
night-Indulging In coarse statements against
!
a brother senator-does him no good and will
do his party no good , " said Mr. Hill , wi
imemently.
Mr : Cockrehl "
Interposed "I
Coeltrel : hope the senator -
ator from New York will smot ' take the speech
at the senator from New Hampshire ns nny-
thing but a jolto. "
"I hope the senator will proceed. I have
been trying for two years ' to draw him out on
New York election methods , " said Chandler.
"Anll you have drawn ie out , " answered
Mr. huh , ' 'and before I am through you
may conclude It might have been wel not
to have drawn 10 out " -
'Mr , II turned his attention to Mr. Chand-
ler's reference to Mr. Roach. Ho ( lull )
could have forgiven the ataclt on New
York or the attack on "Honest John Mar-
tin : " - "but , " said he , ' "I cannot forgive the
cruel , mean , contemptible malicious
conteinptble , malcious attack
on Senator Roach. "
Mr. HIl referred IronIcally to Mr. Chand-
ler's staement that he spoke of the subject
with regret. lie would as soon expect the
hyena In pouncing upon its victim to paue
with regret. And yet the New hampshire :
senator had "spewed out" this miserable
and contemptible attack . lie had revamped
an old and ancient charge , outlawed by the
statute et limitation , n charge never sustained -
tamed In a court or by n jury. "
! r. 11 drew 0 striking picture of the
coming and goIng at Mr. Roach In time
chamber , his plain and quiet habits. "And
yet time malice ot the New Hampshire senator -
ator , hyena-like , assailed this 1100r man. "
Mr. 11 said ho "hated hypocrites . " He
referred to the "traud by whIch the great
Samuel Tiden had been kept from time
, presidential chair , Then , turnIng to Mr.
Chandler , ho added : "We all remember the
course ot our friend Chandler at that time
tmo
In going to Florida and stealing that state
from the democracy. "
There was a tumultuous demonstration nt
this point , lasting hal a minute. The vice
president rapped for order and then warned
the spectators the galleries would bo cleared
It the demonstraton was repeated .
CALLED CHANDLER A BUZZARD
Mr Martin replied to Mr. Chanmller's refer-
once to him , saying no honest man ever
questioned his right to hIs scat. No man
had ever charged that he bought his seat In
the senate , but could time senator from New
Hampshire Bay as muth , I one-hal was
true that was charged against time senator
from New Hampshire Inltead of being In the
United States senate ho shoulll be In the
penitentiary . Insteall ot time eagles that hall
represented the great state of New lamll-
shIre , "a buzzard had taken their place. "
! r. Frye at once arose and called . Mr.
Martin to order Mr. Martin remained
standing , wher upon Mr. Mal\leron lIe.
mandel ! time rule be enforced that the senator
take his scat. Mr. Martin took his seat
Mr. I'rye wihdrew his moton calng the
senator from Kansas to order ! r. Hoar
at once renewed the cal , saying le weald
withdraw Il It Mr Martin would withdraw
his objectionable worts.
"I cannot withdraw them , " said Mr Mar-
tim ) , "I meant no ofense to tie senate , but
It Is only strong language that wi meet
some situations. "
Thcre was further discussion RS to whether
Mr. Martin should bo allowed to proceed.
lie finally went on , withdrawing the obJec-
tenable words , although he said he < oul !
never chante his fund as to their applca-
ton te the senator from New hiampeimire.
This closed the exciting event for a time
and the senate returned to the mmppropria-

, PARIS , Feb. 2S.-Cntrary to the reports
cable l C re. ; United Slates Ambassador Eusts
has not received instructions to prote3t against
the French exclusion ot American cattle from
this country. 1 seems that there Is a misapprehension -
apprehension ! In the United States-In regard to
the scope ot the decree , which applies only
to American live cattle and which does not
affect tinned or drersed bef. The exact word-
afect tnned E.
lag of the decree Is : "Censlderlng that conta-
gious diseases which do nol exist here arc prevalent -
alent In the UnitEd States among the bovine
species and cases have been establshed among
animals Imported to Europe from that coun-
try , It Is nEcessary to take measures to pre-
vent the introduction of timeoo diseases Into
our territory. Accordingly , upon the advice
of the consulting committee ot the epizootics
and the counselor of state , the director of
agriculture decrees that the Import Into or
transit through Franc ot all animals at the
bovine species from the United SLates Is pro
hibited , both by our land frontiers or by sea ,
until otherwise ordered. Animals shipped be- ,
tore February 24 wilt bo alowe entry I
hmealtimy. .
I Is learned that France took this step
with the greatest reluctance. M. Hanotaux ,
the minister of foreign affairs , says : "I my-
self was greatly opposed to the Issue of the
decree and It was only done lter the minIster -
Ister of , agriculture had assured us that
there was positive evidence that disease
among the cattle landed existed. ,
"I am not , willing to agree lo any step
which could bo construed a8 unfriendly to ,
the United States ; but Germany , Belgium I
and England Ilave already taken exactly the
same precautions and wo are the last na-
ton to do EO. "
Inquiries made by time Associated press cor-
respondent at the ministry ot husbandry
today elicited the following statement : The
measure was entirely based upon sanitary
considerations. Agriculurists throughout
France have for several months past been
pointing out the cattle diseases In AmerIca ,
ant they have been calling its attention to
its spread In Franco. The Agrlcl1ural society -
ciety and varIous representative bodies
backed up the appeals. Finally an Important
event compelled the goverment to adopt a
drastic measure. Germany and Belgium had
already forbidden the1mportatons ot cattle
and Switzerland was uneasy about the toler-
anco ot France , anti fearing a spreat of the
disease , Switzerland manlested her intention
to close her frontier to' all cattle entering via
France or ot French origin. In the presence
of this situation the minister of iusbaldry
decIded to prohibit the importation of American -
can cattle. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

PLATTSMOUTI ! , Neb. , Feb. 2S.-Speclal (
Telegram.-In ) one ot the narrow cells of the
Case county jail Harry lull , the condemned
murderer , Is passing his last night on earth.
The clock In the jailer's office Is ticking off
the few remaining hours lhat &eparate him
from his deem , Time death watch Is keeping
its grim vigil , and inside time Iron grate the
murllerer Is sleeping 10 quietly as n tired
child.
The preparations for the execution are all
completed all nothing Is heft to do but walt
for the fatal hour. Ot all those who are In-
tereslcl In the affair , the prisoner seems
the least concerned . He Is apparently fuly
resigned to hIs inevitable Cato all only wl91es
the hours to pS more quickly , ! that the
agonizing suspense may end Father Car-
ne ) ' , who has attended him alnost constantly ,
was with him most or the day , but left be-
fore supper ; The prisoner ate heartiy at
the supper hour , and then lit a cigar nnll"at
down In the Jai office anll chatted plea9-
anty wih Sheriff Elkenbery and his IItp-
\tle ! during the evenIng. The tranger who
sw him sitting there would never drtnm that
he had been condemned to die ; that he hal
seen time red sunset for the last time and
knew that its reappearance would be the
signal for his doom I he saw : In the darkness -
ness that curtained the little enclosure that
concealed the scaffold tIme symbol of the
darker shadows which lila soul must pene-
trate , ho gave no sign , but loungel at case
all chaltd wih hIs jailer , as complacent a
victim as ever stood beneath the gallows tree
and peered Into the ( ieapaning shadows oC the
mysterious beyond
DISLIKES REPORTERS. .
lIe has an exaggerated aversion toward
newspaper men , and at hIs urgent request
no reporter has been allowed to see him
during the last few days ot hIs life. Late
this evening a flee reporter was granted admission -
mission to the jai , and thIs was the first
time that time prisoner has spoken to a reporter -
porter since his fate was assured. Hi was
still sitting on a chair In time Jai office. As
far as any expressIon of anxiety was con-
corned nlmost anyone ot the hal dozen men
In the office woull bo selected as time pris-
oner before iminssehf. Ho was smoking n
cIgar , all ho looked up and smiled pleasantly
as the reporter was Introduced. Ho shook
hands heartily , and there was not a trace
ot emotion In the firm grasp of his muscular
lirigisme.
"I wont ' .to say to you , gentlemen , " said
Sheriff Etkenbery , "that f ho never' h'ad n'
better behaved prisoner that Huh , and I do
not believe that there 'Is another man in
Plalsmoulh tonight who Is mere resigned to ,
his talc nor happIer ! than he Is. Isn't that
so , Harry ? " he asked , turning to the prls
oner , and Hill smiled appreciatively as he
answered : "Yes , 1 am contented and happy ,
for truth has made me free. "
As soon as the visitor asked him a ques-
ton or two ho jumped to the conclusion that
ho was talking to a newspaper man and his
pleasant smile was succeeded by an expres-
don ot stolid indifference .
"In all the time that I have been In this
I Jai , " he declared , with some show ot spirit ,
"I have never , receIved justice from any
newspaper. "
He was assured that whatever ho had to
say \\ould be correctly reproduced , but ho
steadfastly refused to answer except In
monosyllables. Ho could not be made to say
directly whether he was guilty or Innocent.
Ho said that he still maintained the state- ,
mont that he made In the long letter which'
he wrote to Mrs. Akesen , wife of time mur-
dered man , last February , beseeching her
forgiveness . In this he said that ho did
not know Who shot her husband , but when '
asked whether he meant by thIs that he
'vaa Innocent , ho mid that was another question -
ton and refused to answer Curther.
IS CERTAIN OF SALVATION.
The one subject whIch ho seemed willing
to discuss was his own feelings on the eve
of his execution. Ho saId that his sins had
ben forgiven and that whatever his fate
might be In this world ho was sure of snlva-
tion In the beyond "It makes little difference - ,
once to mo now what they say about me , "
bo continued. "It can do mo no good or'
harm , I shah bo beyond its reach What
this world thinks ot me doesn't concern me
now , but I want only to say that I will walk
up that scaffold tomorrow without a single
pang , and that I I have ever Injured any
one 1 am sorry for it. I heave this life with-
out a hard feeling toward any one and I
ama only anxious for the end to come , "
come.
All the while that . ho was talking the
prisoner seemed as cheerful as his words
Indicated lie laughed pleasantly and slowly
exhaled time smoke from his cigar wll the
air ot serene contentment
BROUGHT A FLUSH TO IllS FACE.
Only once was his calmness disturbed. This
wns when the reporter asked him If there
was not solo ptrson In the world to whom
It would be a. . source ot satisfaction to know
that ho had died protesting his innocence at
the terrlblo crime for wlieh he was con-
demnec , This seemed , to strike some burled
chor that recalled a time before hIs hands
were stained with human blood , and he faced
time black menace of the gallows . lila face
flushed slightly , and pointing at the
reporter he appealed to the sheriff to put a
idol > to the interview Ills request was
compled with and no one but the ofcers
wi be allowed to see the prisoner until
tomorrow .
Although lie has grown somewhat thinner
durIng his sixteen months' confinement , time
prhoner Is n picture oC imeaitlm . His face
Is not wlhou 80me trace of refinement.
The worst feature Is his eyes , which are al-
ways partially veiled by his long lashes ,
giving his face a somewhat treacherous
oxpresslon.
lie was Plainly attired - In a black coat all
vest with a pair of light striped trous rs
and his collar was confined by a black bow
at a style of several years ago. Some time
before midnight ! ho retired to lila cell und
to nil appearances , was seen slEeping quietly .
Time cell Is of the regulatIon size and contains -
tains the narrow cot on one side ! and two
email tables on time other. One of these Is
occupied by articles ot toilet and 01 the
other , which stands at the head of the
, cot , t a smal crucifix and his prayer book .
