Tho Senate session opened at 1 1
o'clock with a .speech by the venerable
Senator lroin Vermont, Mr. Morrill,
who said the House had promptly re
sponded to the President's message

silver substitute for the bond bill, liu
said, may not be the tlr.st time when
bread had been asked for that a stouu
has been presented, but it In the tlrst
time that a committee, of the ben
ate seems to have perpetrated n prac
tical joke, almost good enough for
the clown of Itanium's menagerie.
'l'hc Senator thought that a Uotleteiit
national Income should not be less
swiftly remedied than excess, saying:
"The present administration, 'how

deferring to the assertion that
France maintains silver at par with

"Some whispered threats have limit
ed in the ulr that the extreme silver
men, now fraternizing hern and at
home with tho Republican party,
would bund themselves together on
ono denoinlniinl Idea and, with aux
iliary Democratic aid, hitch onto tho
tntl of some great Kepublican measure
at the tlrst opportunity somo tinkling
silver amendment, honing to sceuro
thereby u silver triumph of a hybrid
combination, although the grand old
Republican party might perish. Hut
there lb littlo fear of these eruptlvo
threats; for, If carried out, the riot net
wight bo read at home to the o (Tend era,
upon whom puiillo opinion wotiht uot
fail to place Its brand, and whatever
party might survive, uot all of thu
garroters of tho Republican parlv
would be among its meinbuis."
Mr. Morrill then dwelt upon the in
Jury that would bo done the South if
tho world had the opportunity to lim
its cnttou crop wlth'eheap silver. He
enlarged on tho ndvantage.s of protec
tion and controverted tho argument
that there was a gold standard party
In America. Thu HenubUcan party
intended to retain both metals in olr
illation and "the election," said Mr.
plorrill, "of Republican governor
in such states" us New' Jersey,
Maryland nnd Kentucky indi
cates that the old Whig slates
of thu South are wheeling inlo liuu
with their former position on ques
tions whteh concern their industrial
prosperity. The Republican party, at
its earliest opportunity, will seek tho
co-operation of leading nations in tho
coinage of silver and will meantime
aim to maintain the Integrity of busi
ness all'iiirs and the honor of tho coun
try by tho iii'ilntenaiiee of every dollar
of money in the hands of the "people,
without depreciation, at its full fnee

Mr. I'ayard is deserving of censure
therefor. It continues tnat it ,ls ini

SALISBURY HEARD FROM.
for the Monroe Dm trior lis Monroe lie-
liinil It.
London, Feb. a, The banquet of
the Non-( oiiformist I'niouist associa
tion at the Hotel Metropole last night
was tlm occasion of an address by
the Marquis tif Salisbury, prime min
ister and secretary of state for foreign
affairs. In the course of his remarks
he said with lefereuce to Yene.uela:
"I have been held up ns the de
nouncer of tho Monroe doctrine. Asa
matter of fact, although the Monroe
doctrine is no part of international
law, my dispatch to Mr. Olney, the
seeretaryof state of the United States,
supported It, as a rule of policy, in the
strongest and most distinct terms.
Rut when I stated in that dispatch
ami lelterate now, that, as a rulo of
policy, we are the advocates of the
Monroe doctrine, we mean tho Monroe
doctrine as President Monroe under
stood it. (Cheers). In that sense you
will uot llud any more convinced sup
porters than we arc."
Lord Silisbury then turned abrupt
ly to the Armenian question, and here
reproached the tellgioiis communities i
with laboring under a mistake when
they supposed that Fngland had
bound herself in honor to succor the I
Armenians, which means to go to war '
w itli the Sultan in order to force him to ,
govern thu Armenians well. The Her- ,
lln treaty, Lord Salisbury said, tneie- I
ly bound the signatory powers that if j
the Sultan promulgated certain re- i
j forms they would watch over tho exe- ;
j eutiou of tho-o reforms. Nothing '
I more. He did not think anyone could
! interpret that as an undertaking to
! go to war. j
j "If you ask why we hnve not inter- '
i fered, I can only answer for Kuglautl j
that we could have threatened, what I
i inuy call annoyances, in the seizing of
i customs here and there, but uliunjou
, urn dealing with the rising of a whole.
. fanatical population against a popula
tion with whom they have been at
' bitter eiiiuits for ages, mid who are
i situated in mountains far removed
i from the seashore, you arc deceiving
I yourselves if you imagine that Hug
land's arm, long as it is, could have
done unvthliiir In uiltliriitton. N'otliimr
but a military usurpation could -have
done it, anil Kugliuid does not possess
the power of military usurpation at
that distance.
"I am not bound to answer the ques
tion why Hurone did not intervene. I
say confidently that none of the pow
ers wished to' interfere, and 1 believe
that their view is that, with patience,
the Sultan's prestige, which istheonly
power left in the country, will ulti
mately re-establish order and allow In
dustry and commerce to take their
usual secure course. That Is their
view of it, ami it is our duty to give
the Sultan time. It Is not for me to
pass judgment on that view, but no
other remedy Is suggested. It Is somo
encouragement to llud that already
some degree of order is being restored,
if you do not act with ttio great pow
ers you must act against them, and
produce calamities far more awful and
terrible than the Armenian atroultics."

( liu i. o. Feb. ::. The Tlmcs-lleral.l
prints tlie following from its New
York cot respondent: .
One thoiis-inil delegates of the supe
rior council of tlie American 1'ioteet
ive association met in annual session
lust Tui'idu.v unit Wednesday in Ro
chester. Tb" eoiiiention representel
an actual voting strength In this State
of 31.1.00(1, and in the nation of about
l.MiO.oo'i. The bitslnessof tlm conven
tion was conducted with such secrecy
thu I not even the wide awako Roches
ter newspaper reporters hud a sus
picion that a meeting of vast concern
to the public ami politicians was be
ing held in that city, and that in
Mam street, Rochester's Rroadwiiv.
From one of the heads of the associ
ation was obtained the facts that are
glieti here nnd that will form the
most important and most sensational
story of secrut political development,
and actual, active political strength
that lias been made public in many
ycarc
One of the peculiar features of tho
convention was that in tlie resolutions
that were adopted no mention was
made of any candidate for Ficsideul
or liny olllce. State or Territorial.
Discussion of candidates came up
either informally on thu lloor of the
hall or else lu committee. The superior
council, in following out the require
ments of Its constitution, declared it
would indorse only that party or those
parties who should nominate candi
dates whoso records are not opposed
to tho principles of the association,
upon a platform which should embody
patriotic utterances consistent with
these principles.
One of the startling statements
made by a member from Albany was
to the 'effect that Senator David II.
Hill had acknowledged to a friend ii
lack of political foieslght when he
undertook to carry the Stale for thu
Democratic party in I.-. 'I upon an ami
A. I. A. platform. Another candidate,
who was declared to be persona nou
grata to many lu the association, was
Rosivell I'. Flower.

ocratic us well as Itcpiudiciii, art:
aiiti-Tammany through and through.
They will not support for president or
for any other otllce candidates who
are nominated mainly through thu
help of the hall. Notwithstanding
Ins nominal association wlin Tam
many as a representative Democratic
organization. W. C. Whitney did not
seem to have many enemies among thu
Democratic members, Many favored
the nomination of some man like Colo
nel Morrison of Illinois or ov inventor

There was evinced a considerable
antagonism to the candidacy of Thom

spoken against the A. I'. A. in nn in
terview in the Columbian of Portland.
Me., the only Roman Catholic news
paper in that state.
No charges were preferred against
Covernor Morton. c.v-Covcrnor Mc
Kinley of Ohio, Senator Allison of
Iowa, Robert T. Lincoln of Illinois,
Covernor William O. Rradley of Ken
tucky, or a n v other Republican candi
date Mr. Cleveland, were he to bo re
nominated, would not receive tlie sup
port of the Democratic members of
the order, although Mr. Olney, secre
tary of state, was not charged with
any act inconsistent with public prin
ciples. The support which Richard Kerens
of Missouri, where the association is
very strong, and Thomas Carter of
Montana are giving to (ieneral Har
rison's ciiiidhlacv, has caused some of
the members of the association to
question his availability. This ad
verso sentiment, however, i, being
counteracted by the publication of an
interview lu which W. .1. Tiaynor, the
siipiemo piesiilent, advocates tho re
nomination of (ieneral Harrison li.

Regarding the personnel of its mem
bersliip, an Interesting icport was
read at tlie Rochester meeting. It
was said that Id.' members of Con
gress, the governors of four states,
majorities in the legislatures of se oral
states, the school boards of "I I cities
and towns, mid a mujorlti of city and
town olV.cuils in Jovery 'Central and
Western state are members of oriillicd
with the A. P. A. The membership In
this state is growing at tho average
rate of fourteen councils a week, to

cording to the report, Is divided as

His vanguard was in the neighbor

Canella is one of the best tl,-htcra in

early in tlie week with a picked force
to meet mid head off MaceoV advance.
Reports of tho engagements that fol
lowed are meager, but indicate that
Canella was at least temporarily de

mand being caught between tho (ire
of Maceo's advance und Come.'s rear
guard. Tho latter came up in time to
harass the Spanish in the (lank, while
Maceo fiercely attacked them in

Canella made a gallant stand, using
his Held piece effectively, but he was

of its purpose: "President I levelniid,

Is not accorded to American companies

"The (iernian policy of retaliation
against American life companies has
thus far been confined to Prussia,

A PATENT ON "BLOOMERS."
".e Women" .Mint Hereafter 1'uy n
Ito.ialty to ii llronl.lii .Man.
U.isiiiNorox, Feb. I. After a six
mouths'. search through ancient and
modern hintory. the patent olllce litis
issued a patent on bloomers. The
man who gets the otllcial credit of In
venting this "up-to-date" article of
wearing apparel is Thomas II. Royce
of llrooklyn. lu the future tlie "new
moiiiiiu" will have to pay Mr. Royce a
royalty on such nether garments.
Application for the patent was filed
uigust II, : fell."., when the bloomer
craze was at its height. Rovco did
not claim to bo the originator of this
form of feminine "trouserettes," but
claimed to have invented some of the
most essential features of the ac
cepted style of bloomers. The delay
In granting the patent was due to a
discussion among the patent olllce ex
aminers as to whether bloomers wore
patentable.
Numerous patterns of ancient and
modern pantalettes or "trouserettes"
were taken before the examiners by
Mr. Royce. The llowing neilicr gar
ments worn by the inmates of Turk
isli harems and those of the modest
maidens of Persia were compared with
the latest style of bloomers worn by
the "new woman.''
An Interesting point In connection
with the granting of this patent was
the olliclal decision and lecognltion
of the word "bloomers." it being held
that, the term was of American origin
ality, without icgard for the apparel
for females of the old world or of an
cient times.

hung jury lat year.
The teriiblo'criine with which ho

two inquests mid the former trial, thu
defense put on thu stand a number of
the most prominent physicians in the
State as experts to prove Dnestrow's
insanity. Lquully eminent experts
testitled on behiilfof the State, and
throughout the trial then: was an
almost constant warfare between the
opposing counsel.
Arguments were finally begun on
Saturday morning in a crowded court
