WASHINGTON , I'ob. 1. No buslneai of
Iniportnnco was tranfacted by the senate
In open session today. The feature of the
ihort Region was a otatemont made by Mr.
Clark ( rep.Vyo ) as a wetter of personal
privilege , concerning his \oto In fiver of the
Teller resolution. Ho maintained that lil
vote was In no way Inconsistent with his
republicanism , anJ declared ho would not
permit anjbody to read him out ut the
party , .is he was satisfied the masses of the
ixirlv would not ccuvlct him of political
heresy.
Ilcv. IIiih ( ; J , Johnson , Cantor of the
Metropolitan Methodist ttplacopal cliurch ,
Vashlngton , delivered the Invocation nt the
opening of the Bftiato today.
Mr. Clark ( rep. , Wjo. ) presented ai a
question of purso.ial privilege a dispatch
fiom liln atato published In oisti'rn news-
p.Ters to the effect tti.it Henry O. Hay ,
c'mlrman of the I.itntnl'1 county republican
conimlttco had resigned because of the votei
can by the Wyoming ; senators for the Teller
resolution. Mr. Clnrk Raid that so much
lind been said concerning the votes of Wjom-
IIIR'I HetuHorfl nnd as to the slKnlflcanc1 of
those votes , Iliat ne deemed It wlso to make a
statement. He expressed surprise that the
motlViYi and designs of those voting for the
resolution should lia\o been Impugned. Ho
said that the attempt made to commit the
republican party to a line of policy never
la d down nnd e\cr contemplated by that
body , und the further effort to lead out of
thu party these republicans .who voted for
Urn i ( solution would full. As for himself , ho
declined must emphatically to bo lead out
of the republican party and was satisfied
that the masses of that party would never
convict him of political heitsy on account
Mr. Clark thought that the democrats
ought , in view ot their record , to have sup
ported the Nelson amendment providing that
gold and silver coins should be maintained
at u parity Ho thought that the vote ho had
cast was no .stain on his political honor anil
his vote for the Nelson amendment wan
rast i a piotcrU agalcwt silver monomotil-
lliin. Ilo fell that his vote was In line v\lth
the republican pollcj outlined at St. Louis.
Ho was earnestly In favor of International
bimetallism and was OB earnest : any man
In the chamber for the naticu to maintain
lln national honor He felt that to the re
publican party might be entrusted the duty
to sc-'ve the financial queotlon That solu
tion would not bu on the line of gold mono
metallism , ior on the line of silver monom
etallism , but on that of bimetallism Intcr-
natloral or otherwise Sooner perhaps than
many exported bimetallism would bo a real-
It ji nrd the time would be hero when gel 1
and nllvcr would bo received on cnual lerma
at the mints and every dollar ot the govern
ment would bo ma'intalncd ' at an equal value
and uao with every other dollar. That , Mr.
} riark concluded , was ono of the missions of
I the republican party and It would bo performed -
, formed with honesty and fidelity.
The resolution of Mr. Pcttlgrow ( S. U ) ,
declining It to bo the policy of the United
Slatea not to acquire torrltoij- defend
which a navy would bo required , went over
until tomorrow at the request of the author.
Mr. Morgan's icsolutlon presented jester-
day , calling upon the picsldent for corre
spondence and Information relating to the
arbitration of the Hrltls.Ii seizure claims , was
adopted. The senate then , at 12.40 p. m , on

chief performers were the boy artists , Hairy
nrlggs , pianist , and Karl Smith , 'cellist.
Seldom , If ever , In the history of American
musicians , have two ruch talents gleamed
forth at ono tlmo anil In one place. Sel
dom have two hovs , aged 15 , entertained an
audience so completely and at the Fame time
so disarmed criticism By this It Is not In
tended to say or Imply itl.ofo the performance
last evening was above criticism ; thu qurn-
tton Is not could It have boon , better , but
rc-thcr how It could have been so good ? It
has been said thnt musicians are born , not
made ; the cold facts are that birth H but
a point In the longi line of life and that suc
cess Is attained only after arduous labor , If
it is over attained These boys nio on the
load to aitls'Io success. They have the
talent ami they have Incontrovertible cvl-
dcnco tint they know how to work and aio
willing to persist In it. Opportunity Is their
great need and It Is the opportunity to
study. If there Is some appiccldtlvo man
or woman In this city who can affoij ta
dcvoto $2000 or $3,000 to the welfare of art
ho will look long before ho will find a moio
productive field for his Investment than In
the further education of these two boys.

Hcv. lioscoe H Kline of Llncoki was ai-
rested last evening by Olllcer Gary and locked
up at police headquarters , charged with be
ing a suspicious character. This charge is
made in older to hold Kline while the po
lice are Investigating a iclnrge ot attempted
kidnaping.
The attention of the police was called to
Kline by a tekohonc message from FrancK's
saloon asking that nn odlccr bo sent Im
mediately to Drown yark to arrest a man
who was trying to induce Anna Popper , a
12-jear-old girl , to leave her home and go
with him. After arresting Kline the police
also arrested Anton Dragoon , as It was
claimed that ho was assisting Kline in ills
operations. Dragoon sajs that Kline came
to him while ho was plujlng cards In a sa
loon and offered him $2 to make arrange
ments so that ho could adopt the girl.
Dragoon called on the grandmother of the
girl and suggested tbat Amna could find a
good home by going to live with a friend of
Uls The old woman , Slow ever , refuued to
enturtaVi the proposition , asserting that the
girl could earn $1U to $12 a week selling
flowers and fancy articles on the streets nnd
Ju the saloons. Kline was not to bo put off
by the refusal of the only relative the filil
had BJid ascertaining fiom Dragoon where
the child w3s attending school , went thcio
and after Introducing himself tp the teacher
was permitted to l.avo a talk with her. Anna
refused to leave her grandmother and latt-
on Kline , It Is clilmod , became Involved Ir
an argument with the Janitor of the building
and was ejected.

lightly and Insisted that he wanted to ndcnl
the child. Certificates were found on the

How < o Dcnl Out Charity.
According to a statement made by Coun
cilman SclnilU , chaliman of the finance com
mittee , the city has for two months past
been paying out from $120 to $130 a month for
charity. The expenditure of this much monej- ,
Mr Schultz cays , must atop , as the funds
are not in a condition to warrant It. Major
Knsor tajs the charity and ssnltary ques
tions are the most vexing ones ho has to deal
with , and ho would bo glad If the council
would devise some mearn of relieving him
of responsibility in the matter. It Is hard ,
ho sajs , to discriminate in deal'og out
charity end help must bo provided In cases
of object want. Very llttlo aid is being re
ceived this winter from 'the county for the
reason that a majority of the applicants are
new comorn and lor this reason the county
rcfusns aid , Thlo throws the whole burden
onto the cltjCouncllm.au Vtrisant suggests
that the able , bodied male applicants be put
to work on the streets and paid so much
each day , either in cash or grocery orders.
This suggestion will hardly bo adopted at
the present time , as there Is very llttlo work
to bo done o& the ptrcets during the wiener.
Some membero of the council consider the
whole expense for charity without warrant
of law and aio of the opinion that some ar
rangement ought to bo made to prevent the
further disbursement of the people's mccioy
for this purpose. In this connection U will
bo remembered that about three jears ago
the council appropriated J300 for the pur
pose of ecd potatoes , etc. , when the garden
farm plan was being tried and a largo
amount was saved the following winter cci
account cf mcoy poor famllltu having enough
vegetables on hand to last through the cold
weather. A woman applied to the mayor
jcstcrday for ali who said that she had been
compelled to keep her three children In beil
because there was neither food nor fuel in
the houso. The case was Investigated and
found to bo as stated by the applicant , cndi

There was conMdciablo surprise e\pressed
jeeterday at the report of the police rom-
mlttco In the matter of the charges of Ua-
vld McCourt against three police olllcers
The recommendation that Olllcers Sheehan
and Montague bo tuispcnded for fifteen an.l
.hlrty da s respectively has not jet been
acted upon by thu major. In connection
with this affair Major 'Ensor ' said jestoiday
ifternoon that In the fnco of the evidence
10 could not see how the committee could
arrive nt the conclusion It did. The evl-
Icnce , ho snld , went to show that McCouit
vas intoxicated and had been ejected from
f. ealoon for creating a disturbance. Offlcir
Mulcahy , ho thought , did his duty when ho
arrested him. As for the hnndcufllng of
McCourt to prevent him from rattling the
cell doors , the mayor did not consider tint
exceptionally harsh treatment. In view of
ho fact that the people boomed to object to
renting prisoners In this way the mavoi
said ho would suggest that a dark cell be
constructed similar to the ono in use at the
) maha police station , where prisoners who
ti3stcd ) ! upon making trouble might 1 e
placed until they were brought to their
cnsca. As for carrying out the request of
he council in suspending the men , the
mayor said he would take advice upon the
matter before ho Issued nny orders. He
Id not think that according to the charter
the police committee lias the right to imke
ny such recommendation , or the council
ny right to interfere in the management
f either the fire or pollco firces Such ac-
ion as , that of Monday night would , the
xecutive said , tend to Intimidate the police
nd they would bo afraid hereafter to arrest
lolatorj of the law for fear of being clls-
or suspended.
