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 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. DuOTato Ofllclnl* Docldn Not to lUkl a Tost Case on tho Order. 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.” WORK OF CATTLEMEN. Protest* Against Kiowa amt Comaooho Opening Said to lie Crooked.
