WASHINGTON , April 21 , Speaker need
gave an Interesting talk upon the present
policy of the house , and Incidentally de
clared his views upon labor organizations ,
today , Iri'tno course of one of the confer
ences which are of daily occurrence In the
speaker's room. A delegation from the
American Federation of Labor , headed by
Samuel Gompers , the chief olllccr of the order -
dor , called to request action by the speaker
and the house on matters In which the Federation -
oration Is Interested. They presented a me
morial asking the appointment of Repre
sentative Gardner of New Jersey to the com
mittee on labor and also suggested amend
ments to the elght-hourflaw.
The speech-making part of the Federation
was done by Mr. Gompers and P. J. Ma-
gulre. Mr. Gompers said that there was
great distress throughout the country and
many unemployed , and expressed a hope
that congress would do all In Its power to
alleviate the distress. Ho remarked that
there had not been as much lenlslatlon In the
Interest of labor by the last congress as the
laboring men wished. They did not want to
bo put In the light of making demands
upon congress ; they merely desired to ex
press their wWies. They regretted that
the olRbt-hour law was not more strictly
enforced In Its application to government
works They desired It to be understood ,
however , that they were antagonistic to re
volutionary leaders and believed In lawful
and ordeily agitation , and In the Improvement -
mont of existing conditions by legislation
Speaker Heed In reply , expressed appre
ciation of the moderate and reasonable attl- "
tudo of the laboring" " men. The labor or
ganization , ho said , was n necessary con
comitant of the factory nvstcm. While In
the old days laborers had been Individually
Independent , the growth of the factory sys
tem had forced them to organize for the
preservation of their rights and Interests
He believed that results beneficial to hu-
marlty wcio comlni ; from thcso organisa
tions. While reforms of the class they
spoke of moved slowly , they did move Pub
lic sentiment was now much more tolerant
of the eight-hour system than It had been
ten years ago. Ho could remember when
every laboring man was expected to work
twelve hours Public sentiment had much
to do with the enforcement of the eight-
hour law. and ho had no doubt that under
1U Impulse conditions were continually
Improving. .
Hotel ring to congressional action , the
speaker said he wan certain that all would
agree that the first thing that should bo
done by congress now was to arrive at s
decision on the pending tariff bill , one way
or another. Ho hoped the delegation would
USD Us intliitnce to mould public sentiment
to aslc for as speedy action or * the tariff bill
as could IMJ obtained , It waa not thought
best for the hotiso to deal with other matters
until that qt cation wan out of the way , The
tarltf question once dlsposM of , there would
bo opportunity for consideration of the other
Interests asking legislation As to this upe-
clal reqiicbt for the appointment of Mr Gard
ner , the speaker Bald that would ho taken
under connlderatlon , as all requests for com
mittee atislRiuiionts were. In response to the
complaint tlut the last congress had not done
enough for labor , -Mr. Heed said that re
monstrances had been received by him com
plaining that congress had been too much
under the domination of the labor organiza
tions , This fuel would illuatrato that there
were conflicting Ideas In the country. In
conclusion Mr. Ueed expressed approval of
the policy adopted by the Federation. A
continual and constant pressure within thu
Uw waa much moro effective In securing re
forms than violent methods , h said Violence
lence always brought a reaction , and the re
forms so UK lit vveru likely to bo lost In the
turmoil of thu outbreak.

and song recital given them by Miss May
Luclno Potvin ol Chicago and Mrs. C. K.
Urquehart of Omaha. '
Miss Potvin Is a pupil of the Chicago Con
servatory of Music and a joung pianist of
promise. Her best playing was done , per
haps , In the Chopin numbers of the pro-
giam , which Included the Preludes , Nos. 1 , 3
and 13 ; the Nocturne op. 15 , No. 2 , and the
waitIn G flat. Hero her Intel pretatlons
vvero marked by that sentiment at once delicate -
cato and true , which is required to express
Chopin. Her Idea of the single Schumann
number of the program , "lllrd as Prophet , "
was not so happy , though It was unique. Tlie
technical demands of the program were con
siderable , but they were fully met. In this
connection might be mentioned the flue play-
liiK of the " .Magic Fire Scene , " Wagner-Dras-
sln , with the brilliant rendering of the Rhap
sodic , op. 73 , by Brahms , and. the Liszt polo-
nalso In E. Other numbers were Haydn's
andante and ivarlattons In F minor and the
familiar rondo of Utothoven , op 129.
Mrs. Urquebart's selection of songs waa
truly representative , Including selections
from German , Italian , French and American

WASHINGTON. April 21. Senator Mason
of Illinois innilo his nmldcn speech tu the
senate today and signalized It by some
bioezy criticism on the rules of the senate.
It was such a variation trom thojirosy de
bate of several days that the senator was
accorded close attention and twlco received
the hearty applause of crowded galleries
The speech was In support of a resolution
Introduced by the Illinois senator directing
the committee on rules to report a rule by
which debate could bo closed and the pre
vious question ordered. In this connection
Mr. Mason sarcastically referred to the In
action of the senate on all great questions
before It , the long and fruitless debate on
Cuba and the delay of the arbitration treaty.
Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts replied briefly ,
pointing out that the other branch of con-
giess was more open to criticism than the
senate Hens In accord with Mr Maoon ,
however , on the needs of now rules. A vote
was taken on Mr. Gorman's motion to lefcr
the Mason resolution to the rules commit
tee , which resulted Yeas , 32 , nays , 21.
A further discussion of the subject Is
promised , as Mr. Hoar has pending n resolu
tion to discharge the committee on rules
from further consideilng the reform of the
rules Most of the day was given to the
bankruptcy bill , The vote on the substi
tute and amendments will be taken at 3 p.
m tomorrow.
PETITIONS RELATING TO TARIFF.
The maturing of the tariff bill was
Indicated by the deluge of petitions re
lating to tariff rates presented to the
senate today. Mr. Spooner , repub
lican of Wisconsin , rent a bundle con
taining several hundred petitions urging a
re-enactment of the McKlnley rates on lum
ber. Mr. Mantle , icpubllcan of Montana
presented a telegraphic memorial from tin
Montana Stock Growers' association asking
an amendment to the- tariff bill so that adequate
quate protection would bo given the hide
Industry. Among the other petitions was
one from leading commercial hou cs In San
Francisco opposing the abrogation of the
Hawaiian treaty of reciprocity.
Mr. Morgun , democrat of Alabama , re
ported favorably from the committee on
foreign relations an amendment to the sun
dry civil bill proposing an appropriation of
$50,000 to Improve I'earl Haroor , Hawaiian
Islands.
A resolution by Mr. Haw ley , republican of
Connecticut , was agreed to , duly acknowl
edging the Invitation of Mayor Strong ol
Now York to participate In the coinlnp
Grant ceremonies and providing a commit
tee of ten senators to bo appointed by the
vice president to represent the senate.
Mr. Cullom's resolution , introduced yes
terday , calling on the secretary of the treas
ury , for information relative to internal
revenue taxes on dlbtlllcd spirits , was
agreed to.
MASON SPEAKS.
This cleared the way for an unexpected
and very brec/y speech from the new sen
ator from Illinois , Mr. iMason , who aroused
two outbursts from the galleries. It oc
curred on the resolution of Mr Mason , in
troduced yesterday , directing the committee
on rules to report a rule providing for the
closing of debate and for the previous ques
tion. It was Mr. Mason's maiden speech In
the senate , and ho was followed with great
Interest. Ho said he desired to have the
resolution go to the committee on rules ,
but ho gave notice that unless borne report
was forthcoming at an early date ho would
move to have the commlttea discharged so
that the resolution could be brought before
the senate. H was agreed on all hands ,
proceeded tno senator with a vein of sar
casm , that the United States senate Is a
great body. Ths.5 was the view particularly
of these within the body and on the pay
roll. But every one knew nlso that It was
the only legislative body In existence incap
able of doing business. iMr. Mason said lie
hoped ha would bo forgiven for these re
flections , for ho was still in the "kinder
garten class , " and he recognized that he
was threshing over old straw. But he pro
posed to keep threshing over this old straw
during his next sl\ years In the senate.
Mr. Mason referred to the approaching
tariff debate. The bill would be before the
senate soon. It remedied an act which
promised a "tariff for revenue" and gave
a "tariff for deficiency. " It was now pro
posed to give protection to American Indus
tries and to the American laboring man.
And jet the buslnes Interests were trem
bling on the verge of "despondency and
democracy , " because they know the fate of
the bill depended not on the majority , but
on the minority. "Everyone know ? , " he de
clared , "that while vvo profess to be a gov
ernment by the people , when we reach the
highest body of the government there Is
a rule of the minority. " Mr , Mason glanced
around the chamber and said ho observed
the smile on the faces of some of his col
leagues. They all liked power , and as soon
as a man entered these senate doors his
energies were directed to retaining power In
the old way.
MESSAGE FROM PEOPLE.
"I want to deliver a message from the
people before this hope of power possesses
me. " exclaimed the senator , and the gal
leries gave response by hearty applause
Mr. Mason spoke of the paralysis of busi
ness of the senate on all questions , Hero ,
at the close of the nineteenth century , the

great question was prcs.pn.lt'fl whether Inter
national differences were to bo settled by ar.
bltratlon ot by the methWi of Fltzslmtnona
and Corbctt. The senate. Imd listened to
speeches , but on this naan.all other ques
tions there was no act5n" ! .
The senator from Alal/anni ( Morgan ) had
presented a resolution to * to Cuba , Involv
ing the great Cuban qursUon "handed down
to us bjr O-rover II. " liul. vvhero was that
resolution ? It was Impossible to tear down
the golden God ot the peltate rules In o , dor
to act on Cuba. The fea&tor asserted that
there was a "majority of Insurgents" In
this body , a majority was ready to act , but
was held back by tho/mlnorlty In control.
It was time to do away-\vith these barnacle
rules. "I would not scuttle the old lilp , "
exclaimed the senator1' vigorously , "but I
would like to put her In dry dock long
enough to have her bottom scraped "
There was another round of applause as
Mr. Mason concluded
ilr Hoar , republican of Massachusetts ,
one of the veterans of thtf senate , replied
briefly to Mr. Mason. Ho pointed out that
little could be expected from the committee
on rules , s several ol the members vvero
engaged on the tariff bill and other work.
He was In accord with much that the
Illinois senator had said as to the need of
action , but ho differs ! from him on eomo of
the criticisms against the senate ,
Mr. Gorman , democrat of Maryland ,
promptly moved to refer the resolution to
the rules committee.
Mr. Mason protested , saving this com
mittee on rules was recognized ns the "al
together lonely graveyard to which are
committed the bodies of deceased meas
ures. "

The dlniculty which occurred In the
Arabian settlement on South Thirteenth
Btrcet a couple of nights ago and which
developed Into a small riot , In which heads
vvoro broken and bloodthirsty threats were
made. Is still on , but Is being Kept within
legal conllnca. Yesterday three moro of
the residents of the district were arrested
and accused of rtilKIng men and women In
the affray. They are cliaiged with assault
and battery. Their names are Steven Uahar ,
Cliarlcs Unices and Debs Hulas
It Is said by these who ate on the liiBlde
of the affair that the low was an attempt
at an Armenian mafbacro on a small eeale.
It He-Pins that both Chilstlans and Moham
medans live In the settlement and do not
alwa > 8 harmonize. The former are
Armenians and the latter Turks , but theio
jire no Greeks In the mixture This dlf-
fercrce In nationality had somi'thlng to do
with the trouble , although It started directly
out of n justice court case
The Christian won the ciso and tha TurK
who lost is accused of gathcilng some of
his companions , laving for the Christian and
assaulting him with tin eats to kill him. The
other Christians rushed to the assistance of
their countrvman and the result was the
TOW. When the two elements were In police
court yesterday irornlng each was afraid to
leave for fear of an assault from the other ,
and both made appeals for a police cs > coit.
They were finally Induced to dcpatt without
trouble
So far about eight of ( ho alleged ring
leaders of the affray have been arrested. All
the cases have been set for trial today.
