Washinorow, March !<H. —When tha
Senate met to day tha lcglslaiWa ap
propriation bill was then taken up,
the pending question belug on the
motion of Mr. Sherman to strike out
all provisions relating to the change
of compensation from fees to salaries
for United States district attorneys
and marshals.
Mr. Allison spoke agsinst the prac- ’
tlcc of placing "riders'’ on approprla- ’
tlon hills, hut he regarded this reform
as exceptionable ami desirable.
"This position of the Senator from
Iowa” (Allison;, said Mr. Hoar, "re- j
minds me of tha Keoleh lassie who said 1
she had found the best way to get rid
of a temptation was to yield to it."
At the close of the discussion an
amendment by Mr. Vilas was defeated
on a viva voce vote. A roll call fol
lowed on Mr. Sherman's amendment
audit waa defeated— is to M. This
was accepted as a test Indicating the

trict attorneys and marshals
Mr. Hill moved to strike ont the
provision that the legislative aasembly
of New Mexico should meet in May.
''This Is a small, mean, contemptible,
political trick,” he exclaimed with
f’rext vigor "It is a provision sneaked
nto this appropriation hill to force
the approval of the (‘resident ”
The Senator explained that the pres
ent Legislature, which was Demo
cratic, would meet in December, but it
was attempted by this amendment to
pul oft th<- lueeLn,' of the legislature
till Mav in the hope that a Kepuhlican
president might, be Inaugurated in the
meantime. It wj» a contemptible
trick, to ‘ nbeak in” a political advan
l*.fM
"What right have you to say sneak
ad in'/' interrupted Mr. Elkins.
••What authority hare you tor such a
State wan IT”
"Ah,” responded Mr. Hill with unc
tion, **i tli ugbt I’d stir up the sena
tor from New Mexico, i we beside
him the author of this plan, who on
the minute is here to whisper in his
ear in support of it. What I mean by
‘sneaked in' is tha‘ it is unworthy
that thi. political trick should tried in
souneotiou with a great'appropriation
bill."
"lint the senator has made serious
charge,” persisted Mr. Elkins, "let
him continue hi* explanation to as
sertion of ‘sneaking in.’ What does
be ii can by that?”
"I mean that such a political plan
has no place here. Jt has crept in,
sneakeo in. Will the senator deny
that this is a political amendment?''
Mr. Elkins responded that the
House of Representatives in the exer
else of its rights had introduced this
proposed change.
Mr. Hill reiterated that the amend
ment had "crawled in.” Of course
the senator from West Virginia would
deny it. When he denied that this
was a political trick be showed his
capacity for emergencies.
Home senator in the rear of Mr. Hill
whispered that Mr. Elkins had not
made a denial. “Then if he has not
denied it, be will deny it,” continued
Mr. Hill, "for he does not want to
father this petty little political plan.”
The senator asserted that appropri
ation bills should not be made
"sewers” to receive all the "scraps”
every one might seek to put into
them.
Mr. Cullom, in charge of the bill,
said that he wav surprised at this out
burst of excitement from the New
York Henator who, he feared, "would
bave a spasm before he got through."
I "Ob, no;’ interrupted Mr. Hill, "I
was never cooler in my life.”
Mr. Culloin expiaiued that the
amendment came from the House in
the regular way. He expressed the
hope that there should lie no personal
reflection on the delegate from New
Mex ico, to whom Mr. Hill had re
ferred as sitting beside Mr. Elkins.

Speaker Tboma. Brackett deed fot
the Republican nomination for the
presidency was formally launched
here to-day by the Republican State
con vein ion, amid tne greatest en
thusiasm. The delegates came with
only one name In their minds as their
choioe for the presidential Domina
tion. Consequently, any reference to
the man or his sentiments was the
signal for cheers and applause, and
again and again the building trem
bled with shouts and handclapping,
cheers and waving of hate as the dele
gations contested with each other in
manifesting llielr admiration for their
favorite.
1 ongreatman Mamuel VV. McCall of
Winchester wan chosen permanent
chairman. Ilia introduction was the
Signal for a great ovation. In his
speech lie devoted himself principally
to laudation of hpeuker Reed and ins
words were cheered again and again.
Tlie resolution* which were then
presented by Renator Lodge, pledge
unwavering support to the national
< au i iate; arraign the Democrat*; call
for measures to insure a surplus to
provide for coast defenses, new war
ships and constant reduction of the
public debt; denounce the present tar
iff law and call for a new one to bs
framed for protection and reci
procity; denounce the present sil
ver agitation; oppose free silver coin
age and call for dollars aa good as all
other dollars; oppose state banks and
uphold the national banking system;
call for strict enforcement of the civil
service laws; demsnu restriction of
immigrstlon by strong laws; call for
rigid adherence to the American prin
ciple of the entire separation of church
and state; demand a vigorous foreign
policy, with protection of all interests
on the American continents and the
strict enforcement of the Monroe doc
trine; express sympathy for and wish
to the Cuban* su ccess in their strag
gle for independence and close;
"Maesa'-husetta Republicans have
never undertaken to pledge 01 bind
m ii«h iwmtcu'
tlon. We do not intend to do so now.
But we think it fitting to declare our
decided preference among the candi
dates for tin' Republican nomination
to the presidency. We present to the
national ^invention for nomination
as president, and we urge all our del
egates to give their earnest, united
aud active support to a fearless leader,
tried in many hard conflicts, a man of
national reputation, of unblemished
character, unswerving Republicanism
and great abilities, the Hon. Thomas
B. Reed of Maine.”
The applause was especially marked
when the < nban and gold standard
planks and the section referring to the
separation of church and state were
read, but all previous demonstrations
were not to be compared with the roar
that followed the mention of Reed'e
name as the nominee of the Repub
licans of Massachusetts for the Presi
dency. Then the enthusiasm roes to a
climax aud round upon round of ap
plause rolled up through the ball.
Then followed the election of foor
delegates at large to the national con
vention: He ns tor Henry Cabot Lodge
of Nahant, W. T. Murray Crane of
Ballon, Kbca ti Draper of Hopedale
arid Curtis Guild, Jr, of Boston—all
