HILL UPBRAIDS ELKINS
WEST VIRCJNIA.
OF
Tlic New Yorker Denounces the Proposed
Change In tho New Mexico Legislature's
Meeting; Time, and n Lively Kxchanco
of Word! Follows The Federal Fees
atllt raised.
Work In the Senate.
"Washington, March 8. When tho
Senate mot to-day tho legislative ap
propriation bill was then taken up,
the pending question being on tho
motion of Mr. Sherman to scriko out
all provisions rotating to tho change
of compensation from fees to salaries
for United Slates district attorneys
and marshals.
Mr. Allison spoko against itho prac
tice of placing "riders" on appropria
tion bills, but he regarded this reform
as exceptionable- and desirable.
"This position of the Senator from
Iowa" (Allison), said Mr. Hoar, "re
minds mo of the Scotch lassie who said
she had found tho best way to got rid
of a temptation was to yield to it."
At tho closo of tho discussion an
amendment by Mr. Vilas was dofeatcd
on a viva vooo vote. A roll call fol
lowed on Mr. Sherman's amendment
audit was defeated 13 to 20. This
was accepted as a test indicating tho
adoption of tho proposed chango from
the feo to tho salary bystem for dis
trict attorneys anil marshals.
Mr. Hill moved to striko out the
provision that tho legislative assembly
of Now Mexico should meet in May.
"This is u small, mean, couleniptlble,
political trick," ho exclaimed with
great vigor. "It is a provision sneaked
into this appropriation bill to forco
the approval of the President"
Tho Senator explained that tho pres
ent Legislature, which was Demo
cratic, would meet in December, but it
was attempted by this amendment to
put oil the meeting of the Legislature
till May in tho hope that a Republican
president might be inaugurated in tho
meautime. It was a contemptiblo
trick, to "sneak in" a political advan
tage. "What right have you to say 'sneak
ed iu?"' interrupted Mr. Elkins.
"What authority have you for such a
Btatcment?"
"Ah." responded Mr. Hill with unc
tion, "I thought I'd stir up tho sena
tor from New Mexico. 1 see besido
him tho author of this plan, who on
the minute is here to whisper in his
ear in support of it. What I mean by
aneaked in' is that it is unworthy
that thU political trick should tried in
connection with a great appropriation
bill."
"Hut the senator has made serious
charge," persisted .Mr. Elkins, "let
him continue his explanation to as
sertion of 'snenking in.' What does
ho ir.citi by that?"
"I mean that such a political plan
hns no place here. It has crept in,
sneaked in. Will tho senator deny
that thisis a political amendment?"
Mr. Elkins responded that tho
Hoiibo of Representatives in tho exer
cise of Its rights had introduced this
nroposed change.
" Mr. Hill reiterated that tho amend
ment had "crawled in." Of course
the senator from West Virginia would
deny it When ho denied that this
was a political trick ho showed his
capacity for emergencies.
Some senator in the n-ar of Mr. Hill
whispered that Mr. Elkins had not
mailo a denial. "Then If ho has not
denied it, ho will deny it," continued
Mr. II ill, "for he does not want to
father this petty little political plan."
Tho senator asserted that appropri
ation bills should not be made
"sewers" to receive all tho "scraps"
every ono might seek to put into
them.
Mr. Cnllom, in charge of the bill,
said that lie was surprised at this out
burst of excitement from tho Now
York Senator who, he feared, "would
have a spasm before he got through."
"Oh, no;'- interrupted Mr. Hill, "I
was never cooler in my life."
Mr. Cullom explained that tho
amendment camo from tho House in
the regular waj. He expressed the
hope that there should be no personal
reflection or. tho delecate from New
Mexico, to whom Mr. Hill had re
ferred as sitting beside Mr. Elkins.

tho Republican nomination for tho
presidency was formally launched
hero today by tho Kepublican State
convention, amid tho greatest 'en
thusiasm. Tho delegates camo with
only ono'natno in their minds as their
choice for tho presidential nomina

the man or his sentiments was1 tho
signal for cheers and applause, and
again and again tho building trem
bled with shouts and handclapplug,
cheers and waving of hats as the dolo
gations contested with each other In
manifesting their admiration for their
favorite.
Congressman Samuel W. McCall of
Winchester was chosen permanent
chairman. Ills introduction was tho
signal for a great ovation. In his
speech ho devoted himself principally
to laudation of Speaker llccd and his
words were cheered again and again.

presented by Senator Lodge, pledgo
unwavering support to the national
candidate; arraign the Democrats; call

"Massachusetts Republicans havo
never undertaken to pledge ox bind
their delogates to a national conven

Hut we think it fitting to declare our
decided preference among tho candi
dates for tho Kepublican nomination
to the presidency. We present to tho
national convention for nomination
as president, and we urge all our del
egates to glvo their earnest, united
and activo support to a fearless leader,
tried in many nurd coniitcts, a man oi
national reputation, of unblemished
ciiaracter, unswerving Republicanism
and great abilities, tho Hon. Thomas
B. Reed of Maine."
Tho applause was especially marked
when the Cuban and gold standard
planks and tho section referring to tho
separation of church and slate wcro
read, but all provious demonstrations
were not to be compared with the roar
that followed tho mention of Reed's
namo as tho nominee of tho Repub
licans of Massachusetts for tho Presi
dency. Then the enthusiasm rose to a
climax and round upon round of ap
plause rolled up through the hall.
Then followed tho election of four
delegates at largo to the national con
vention: Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
of Nahant, W. T. Murray Crano of
Dalton, Eben S. Draper of Hopedale

THE MAN FROM OHIO.
EFFORTS ARE MAKING TO HEAD
HIM OFF.
, Conference hjr Iteed and Allison to Dis
cing the 'residential Situation -Tho
Maine Man's 1'ropntats of Withdrawal
In Certain Kvent Coldly Itcrelvcd by
the Iowan Tho Nniun of Harrison.
Ileed and Allison Confer.
A8HIN0T0N, March 2?. A secret
conforenco, it Is said, was held at tho
oapltol Sunday by Reed and Alllson(
with Manley and other leading adher
ents of each man, nnd methods of
stemming tho McKluley tldo wcro dis
cussed at length.
Allison was asked whether ho would
withdraw in tho Interest of Reed If it
should bo found that Reed had much
moro real strength in tho national
convention. Ho dcolinod to glvo any
reply, llccd said positively that if at
any time in the proceedings of tho
convention Allison received moro votes
than ho did, ho would authorise his
supportors to voto for Allison, if Alli
son would enter Into a ltko arrange
ment with him In tho oent of Reed's
followers being moro numerous.
This plain proposition from tho
Maine candidate put Allison somewhat
into a corner, which ho attempted to
get out of by resorting to diplomacy.
Ho said ho was afraid that if tho
avowed candidates attempted to trans
fer thoir support to each other tho en
terprise ' would fail and McKinley
would bo the beneficiary. In his
opinion tho only safo mothod of pro
cuduro in order to defeat McKinley
was for the other candidates to agreo
upon n darlc horse who was not to bo
named in tho preliminary balloting or
to bo formallv placed before the con
vention. Reed asked whom ho had in
view in such an emercrencr. Allison,
after muclt scratching of his head nnd
pulling of his beard, Anally replied
that ho thought, taking it all iu all,
ex-President Uarrisbn was tho only
man that would fit such a situation.
Reed is said to havo objected vigor
ously to Mr. Harrison under any cir
cumstances and tho conference ended.
Allison's proposal has revived talk
of Mr. Harrison's withdrawal having
a btring tied to it, and it is said that
members of tho House havo .received
letters cautioning them not to bo too
quick to endorso tho candidacy of
others, but to hold themselves in
readiness to lend their aid to Harrison
at tho proper time. It is assorted that
letters of this tenor have been sent to
leading Republicans in Nebraska,
Kansas and throughout the South and
West The Indianans, although os
tensibly committed to McKinley, aro
ready for an emergency that would
vnulio Harrison a strong'probabilitv.
A new currency bill.
Nou-I'artlsan Commission of Nine Ex
perts 1'roposed.
Washington, Mnrch 27 At tho
opening of tho Houso to-day, Mr.
Hcatwole, Republican of Minnesota
introduced tho following resolution,
which was referred:
"Whereas, In lieu of our present in
adequate banking nnd currency sys
tem, it is dcsirablo that Congress
havo tho aid of sucli recommendations
as a non-partisan commission of ex
perts might be ablo to offer.
"Resolved, That the President is
hereby authorized to appoint nine
citizens, eminent in trade, political
economy and banking, to act with tho
comptroller of the currency as such
commission, and that such commission
report its conclusions to Congress."
The Treasury department has In
structed the New York subtroasury to
raise the premium on gold bars from
1-10 to 3-lo of 1 per cent The depart
ment s purpose in tho issuance of this
ordor is to do what can be done legiti
mately to prevent futuro exports of
Tho order lias a triple purpose:
First, it will raise tho prlco at which
gold can bo exported profitably, the
price exchange now beinc dangerously
near tho export point; second, it is re;
garucu as guuu policy vo get nu ui
coin instead of bars, because the
former frequently has lost weight
through abrasion; third, it is intended
to meet the action of the Bunk of
England in raising tho price of gold
bars to 7? shillings 10 pence, and thus
practically lowering tho rate of ex
change at which gold can be shipped
from the United States to Great llrit
alu to about 51.6a M to 84.88Jf.
Treasury otHciuls admit tho issuanco
of tho order, but will not talk further
concerning it.

A NEW COPYRIGHT LAW.
The House Patents Committee Flanulng

Washington, March 27. Tho inves
tigation of copyright laws, which has
been carried on for several weeks by
tho Houso committee on patents, will
probably lead to a moro or less Com
prehensive revision of tho copyright
system. Ono of tho principal changos
likely to result will bo the establish
ment of a bureau of copyrights in con
nection with tho Congressional libra
ry, which now has chargo of all the
copyright business, but which has not
a snflicicntly largo clerical forco to
properly hatidlo tills work.
Mr. Spofford, tho librarian of Con

present law which he considers desir
able, and when the commlttco has
discussed his recommendations, a sub
