HAWKEY'S GUKAT SOLILOQUY.
Story of a 1'nlltlcnl Speech uuil the
ConRrntulutloiiH He Hi-oeUed.
The re-election of General Haw ley to the
seat la the United States senate be has HO
acceptably filled for three terms recalls an
Incident In that gentleman's political career
that occurred when he was a member of the
forty-sixth consrcBs. It afforded amuse
ment for both cloakrooms on the house side
for at least n fortnight. In those days thorn
was not that goodfcllotvshlp between the
republicans and democrats In congress that
now pre\ail8 , relates the Waihlngton Post
The democrats called the then occupant ol
the White house the " "
"Fraud. The repub
licans called Gramercy park "Cipher alley "
It was the era of the bloody shirt , and the
paramount lesue In congresa was John I.
Da\cnportlsm , as It came to be known.
The failure of the army appropriation bill
In the Forty-fifth congress caused on ex
traordinary session of the
Forty-sixth con
gress. During the first regular eeseion of
the Forty-sixth both sides
congress were In
tent on making campaign thunder. When
the army bill wns reported the republicans
demanded three days to debate It. The dom.
ocrats did not want to give thorn three hours.
The minority had the majority by the
throat , for the counting of a quorum wns
something never dreamed of when Samuel
J. Randall was speaker. All day the repub
licans filibustered , and just before adjourn
ment the democrats gave them their three
days.
days.H
H was the republican plan to stir up the
Hotspurs on thp democratic side. "Ho who
dallies la a dastard , and he who doubts U
damned" had been _ a regular plum tree to
the G , O P. of'which
, , out which at least ono gov
ernor of Ohio had been shaken besides num.
crous congressmen from the north and west
U was hoped that Phil Cook would make
some Indiscreet remarks , and It was espe
cially hoped that Qtnoral Chalmers would bestirred
stirred up , though , two years later , Chalmers
became a republican. Joe Blackburn was to
be baited and Van Manning woo to bo
prodded
The next day the house wont Into com
mittee of the whole on the army appropria
tion bill Immediately after the approval of
the Journal. General Haw ley took the floor
to make a speech on the bill. Ho bad scarce
uttered the words "Mr. Chairman" when
the democrats left the chamber lu a body
That grand old parliamentarian , John T.
Harris of Virginia , who was In the chair ,
and "Sunset" Cox , who was on the floor.
w ro the only democrats left in that pres
ence , It takes two to ra ke a flght. Cox
was busy writing letters and paid no at
tention to Haw ley's speech Harris , of
course , could not challenge him. For more
than half an hour he labored , waving the
bloody ehlrt manfully He got not a hand ,
and , what was worse , he provoked not a re
tort It was no labor of love be was en
gaged in , ( or there was no kinder heart
In congress than bit. It was a work of po
litical duty
He bad expected to speak two hour * and
the republican orator who wag to follow
him , probably Conger of Michigan , had gov
erned himself accordingly and was not on
hand , Before be had spoken forty mlnutca
Hawley saw -the whole campaign bail failed.
He halted , hesitated , itammered and sat
down. Cox dropped bit pfn , rushed over to
the republican side and with both bands
seized Hawley's fiand and , shaking It vigor
ously , Bald something like this : "Hawley ,

Edgar Foe took the Idea and made a story

deed was done. It Is rumored that Naples
Is not now the solo depository of the c pla > -
thlngs. In this city a few years ngo a death
occurred which a Jeweled snake , resting for
a second on a glass of champagne. Is believed
to have occasioned. The belief may bo un
founded , jet even so , the possibilities In It
are ornate , Possibilities not similar , but
connate were thoroughly appreciated during
the renaissance. That was the uge when
murder really flourished There were sixty
recognized modes of eliminating , without
fuss orecnndal , people who made themselves
disliked. It would bo fastidious to describe
them all. The most fashionable was Aqua
Tofana , which remained In vcgue up to the
beginning of the present century and ot
which now we only know that It was with
out color and without smell. Adepts used
to smear It on one aide of a gold blade , with
which they would then cut a peach nnd after
giving the poisoned half to the person to bo
eliminated eat the other half In his presence.
It Is difficult to regard that otherwise than
as artistic also. There was another prep
aration still more so. It acted not at once ,
but years later. The -victim became tooth
less , bald , desiccated and expired after an
agony relentless and prolonged.
Jean Richepln took the Idea , as Poe had
the earlier one , and made from It an ef
fective story. Effective , too , were the poi
soned candles , poisoned gloves , poleoned
flowers and poisoned kisses with which ,
under the Dorglaa , death was distributed
in Italy and which the Medlcls Introduced
In France , Effective , also , wan a knife ,
thin as a laming needle , and long as a dirk.
which , properly manipulated , spilled no
blood. U sank Into the heart and come
out again , leading behind ono infinitesimal
bluish-gray spot and death. That knife the
writer took and stuck Into a novel. An
other knife , more suggestive , perhaps , had
holes punctured In the steel. The holes
were poisoned , though with which modern
science does not know. It hag no knowl
edge , either , of the substance into which
the patricians dipped their needles. It has
no knowledge ot the venom which the gold
vipers distilled. Concerning Aqua Tofnna ,
the caracalla of the Borglas and the es
sences of the Medlcls It has surmises , noth
ing more. It has denied that a poison ca
pable of taking effect years after Its ad
ministration , ever existed. Dut whether the
toxicology of the past is not related to the
hydrocyanic of today it l unprepared to
state. "Tbero Is nothing , " a profound
thinker once lightly remarked , "as beauti
ful as a beautiful crime. " The cause Is
clear. It predicates great culture. It Is
for this reason that the assassinations which
loom at mention ot the liorglas or the Med-
Vls fascinate even the sedate. U Is for
that reason , also , that the Cornleh bromo-
sletzer caeo falls to allure. It Is not Qn
art.
