tv siting tom, Dec. 2.—The delay in
(hf passage of the silver repeal bill
jivl the effect, incidental to most con
flicts of great length in the senate, of
arousing a number of senators to the
imiHirtance of a change which should
,a,o iu the hands of the senate the
to bring any issue to a close at
a definite time and to make the ma
joriiv the judge of the proper liinita
ti'ii of debate upon any subject.
Senator lilackburn, chairman of the
committee on rules, became so im
prcssecl with the importance of a re
form of this character that towards
tin' dose of the extra session he
a5l;,.,l authority, which was granted,
for bis committee to sit for the pur
pose of considering the question with
,l,t. view of suggesting a course of
joiion to the senate. The committee
has held no meetings daring the re
cfsSi but the subject will be taken m
liaml at an early date after the con
vening of congress, as Mr. Blackburn
hi, announced his intention of urging
action.
The committee will find abundant
material to work upon when it,meets,
as there are before it no fewer than
nine amendments looking to the ac
coiui lishmcnt of the end in view. -Of
tlnse Mr. Hill is the author of four.
Sir i'latt of two and Messrs. Voor
hees, Hoar and MaUderson of one
each. A majority of the resolutions
provide for the closure of debate and
the others jook to the determination
of a uiiorum.
Mr. Hill displayed greater interest
in the matter during the extra session
than others, and he and Mr. Voorhees
united upon the form of an
nmendment for closure, providing
that a majority of senators
could demand a vote upon any
bill which had been under debate in
the seuate for thirty days. Others of
his proposed amendments look to the
maintainence of a quorum — one by
authorizing the presiding officer to
count senators present who refuse to
respond to a roll call to determine the
presence of a quorum and another by
authorizing the counting of senators
paired ami present on a vote for the
purpose of making a quorum and
welting to prevent recourse to another
method of delay by prohibiting sen
ators from raising a question of lack
of a quorum while another senator is
speaking, and by also providing that
the question of the want of a quorum
should not under any circumstances
be raised uftener than once an hour.
Mr. Manderson's amendment is sim
ply an amendment to Mr. Hill’s pro
posed amendment concerning pairs.
The amendments of Messrs. Platt
and Hoar look to the closing of debate
but differ in time and method from
Mr. Hill's suggestion in tlje same di
rection. Mr. Piatt’s amendment pro
vides that upon a written request of
a majority of senators at any stage of
the debate upon any bill the vice pres
ident shall fix a date for the close of
debate five days afterward and Mr.
Hoar's that, after a bill shall have
beta under consideration for one day,
uuv senator may demand the close
and if lie is seconded by a majority of
tbe senate, the debate is to discontinue
forthwith and the vote be taken after
each senator shall have had an oppor
tunity to speak once not to exceed an
liir.’.v,
it is presumed that if any. changes
should be recommended by the com
mittee on rules they would be on the
lines indicated bv these proposed
amendments, as they cover about all
the ground. With power to count a
quorum and to prevent the continued
recall in t? of the roll, the vice president
would he in a position to expedite the
consideration of any measure, and
with the additional authority to fix
the day of voting udou any given
measure, there would probably be no
more ground for complaint of delay
“that body.
,, opposed to tue cnanges argue
that the complaint would be from the
opposite direction and that the coun
ty would soon come to have cause to
JPprehend more serious consequences
tom hasty legislation than it now
™ from tardv action.
“ the question bo laid before the
enate the country may expect to see
Me of the most animated debates ever
■blessed in that body. The subject

“ , never fails to arouse the strongest
tagronism and many personal allu
and heated word encounters.

A brief review is given of the coin
age legislation from 1792 down to the
present time. lie also reviews the
course of silver since 1848. The causes
of depreciation, according to the
director, were the demonetization of
silver by Germany and the Scandi
navian States, the suspension of its
coinage by the Latin union, the
Netherlands, Austria, Hungary and
Russia and the increased production
of the metal, this last being the most
potent.

SUPREME COURT VACANCY.
The Freniflent Expected to Renominate
Mr. Hornblower. •
Washington, Dec. 2.—The supreme
court of the United States is anxiously
awaiting the accession of a successor
to the late Judge Blatchford. There
are several cases of importance, most
of them involving constitutional ques
tions, the consideration of which has
been delayed by the court until there
shall bo a full bench, as with only
eight judges sitting there might be
danger of an even division.
It is expected that Judge Ilorn
blower will lie appointed again very
soon after the convening of congress.
While his nomination failed of con
firmation, there were no charges
against him, and if there was objec
tion to him upon the part of senators
it did not appear openly. Hence it is
argued that for the president to fail
to again tender the office to Judge
Hornblowcr, would be to cast a re
flection upon him. It would also
seem unlike Mr. Cleveland to back
down so long as there is a chance for
success. So general is the belief that
Mr. Hornblower will be reappointed
that no other name has been men
tioned for the place.
It was given out during the extra
session that the failure of the senate
judiciarv committee to take up the
nomination, was due to the fact that
it was impossible to secure a full com
mittee, but there was a belief preva
lent that some of the committee were
antagonistic to tho appointment. With
no business like the repeal bill press
ing and consuming all the time of the
senators there will be nothing to pre
vent members from attending
the committee meetings and
the nomination ' must soon be
taken up and passed upon on its
merits. Senator Hill, who is a mem
ber of the judiciary committee, is ex
pected to antagonize the confirmation
because of differences between him
self and Mr. Hornblower, growing out
of New York political complications,
but the judga’s friends think that
while those who oppose him may be
able to delay confirmation they will
not succeed in defeating with a long
session of the senate before them.
Mrs. M. Border and her son, Charles,
have been arrested for starting the
prairie fire in Lincoln county, Ok., by
which Mrs. I. T. Hall lost her life.
NOT A LOVE MATCH
PRINCESS COLONNA LEAVES
HER TITLED HUSBAND. ,
DAUGHTER OF JOHN % MACKAT.
SI* Month* Alter Their Weddln* the
Frlnee Wanted Money for III* liam
bllnr Debt* and Has Been Want
In* It Constantly Ever since—
Fabulous mini Thus raid
Out by the Afaokay*.
Loaixvy, Nov. 3D.—Princess Colonna,
the daughter ot Mrs. John W. Maekay,
has applied for a separation from
Prince Ferdinand Gallatro Colonna
and for the custody of her three chil
dren, Andrea, 8; Ilianco, 0, and Marco,
4 years of age. The marriage took
place in Paris in 1883. Mgr. di Rende,
the Papal Nuncio to France, officiated
at the religious ceremony, which was
one of the social events of that'season.
Two years before the marriage Prince
Colonna met Mrs. Mackay's daughter,
then Miss Bryant, in Italy. Ho fol
lowed her to Paris and asked Mrs.
Maekay for her hand. She replied:
“I don’t approve of her marrying a
foreigner; moreover, don't be deluded,
she is not Mr. Mackay's child, but his
step-daughter. She has no money of
her own; therefore she has no dots.
She is my dai^hter by my first hus
band, but she takes Mr. Mackay’s
name at his request.”
The prince persisted, and his uncle,
Prince Stigliano Colonna, wrote in his
own behalf, saying that money was of
no consequence, as it was a love
match. Mrs. Maekay eventually gave
way. The bride was married without
a dot or settlement, but Mrs. Maekay
allowed her an inaome of JUTS,00 > a
year, beside giving her many valuable
presents The prince and his bride
went to Naples. Six months after tho
marriage the prince began demanding
money of his wife. She then discov
ered that he had a taste for gambling,
horse racing and a fast life. She bore
his abuse, taunts and vulgarity until
Oetober last, when she left him in
Paris and took her three children to
the Hotel Brighton, where her grand
mother. Mrs. Hungerford, was stay
ing. Mrs. Maekay at the same time
came on from Scotland to her daugh
ter's aid.
An intimate friend of the family
says; “Prince Colonna and Mrs.
Maekay have not spoken for years.
No one would believe the enormous
sums Mr. Maekay haB paid for the
prince’s gambling debts—over 1,000,000
francs in five years, apart from the
allowance he made his step-daughter;
he also gave her the money with
which to furnish their home. All
went in gambling. When his wife
left their apartment the prince sold
all the tapestries and furniture, and
even her wedding presents, and is
now living on the proceeds. He fre
quently said to his wife: ‘X will take
your American independence out of
you.’ She replied: ‘You may if you
kill me.’ ”
Mr. John W. Maekay has written to
his daughter: “I am glad you have
taken this step. People will talk, of
course, but you do not live to please
other people and need not care what
any one says as long as you are hap
py and free.”
In the legal documents which have
passed between the lawyers for the
princess and those of the prince, not
the slightest charge of any kind is
made against the princess, whose
course meets with general approval
and sympathy.
The result is awaited with great
anxiety by tho family since the French
law is most conservative about a
father’s rights and Prince Colonna’s
only hope of touching the Maekay
monev now must come through the
children. As he is penniless himself,
he will no doubt make a desoerate
fight. Fashionablo society in four
great centers is greatly interested in
this latest case of domestic infelicity
resulting from the foreign marriages
■which still exercise such an attrac
tion over American girls.
The Prince Colonna ran over to
America for the Newport season this
summer, but the princess did not ac
company him. It is now reported that
Mrs. Maekay has not spoken to the
prince for venrs.

LEWELLINQ TALKS.
Vha Kansas Executive Discusses Mrs.
Lease, Turliriteform and Nationalism. 1
Excelsior Sprinos, Mu, Nor. SO —
Governor Lewrlllng is here for r few
days to drink water and improve a
temporarily impaired atomaeh which
hart been afflicted by indigestion for
some time. This is his only ailment
and ho insists that he is not quite as
ill as the papers put it.
The governor is coy in his talk
about Mrs. Lease and has nothing but
kindness to say of her, but his words
leave tho impression that while ho
■concedes her ability he does not con
sider her of thu temperament for a
political party leader.
When asked how tho new tariff law
squared with his views, Governor
Lewelltng said: “I have not read it,
but have some ldea*ot its scope. I
think, perhaps, that it has gone too
far for the present I am for free
trade, and believe that ultimate free
trude is what wo must come to—
should come to—but wo should ap
proach it by degreos. We cannot get
to it at one bound. I was raised at
the good old Quaker town of Salem,
Iowa, and imbibed my liberal views
in early life. 1 have ulwavs been for
tho progressive party. I would not
detract from tho career of the Re
publican organization. It has ac
complished a great work. It had the
courage to do things. Hut of late I
have felt that it had fallen away from
its high estate and gone off after
strange gods—was flirting too much
with the m< ney powers. ”
Continuing, tho governor said: "I
am a Nationalist mysolf. I might dif
fer with Kollamy and IIowolls as to
the details of the system, but they are
at work on the right principles. ' The
governments must themselves be the
administrators. Out of the National
ist r arty some groat party will yet
arise—perhaps it will be called the
National party. That is tho name I
was in favor of tho Populists adopt
ing, and still think it would have boen
on appropriate name for tho groat
party which is to stand for the rights
! of tlie people.”
NO A. P. A. PROSECUTIONS.

Bltfai.o, N. Y., Nov. 30.—It had
boen understood that prescutmeuts
ngalnst members of tho American
Protective association* butter known
as the "A. P. A.,” wore to be made to
the grand jury here and charges of
criminal conspiracy made, but it was
stated at the district attorney’s office
to-day that no such eases were or
would be presented to tho grand jury
An official added that such charges
could not bo sustained, and then con
tinued: “The A. P. A. is not a crimi
nal conspiracy. There is nothing in
our laws to prevent any otic from
joining such an organization. An
office holder would violate liis consti
tutional oath of office if he fixed a
religious test in making appoint
ments, but no ordinary citizen who
joins tho A. P. A. can bo accounted
guilty of criminrl conspiracy.”
