attacks on the shift- ing ¬ and I Inconsistent course of the Itrpubllcans- as to pouch and principles ot legislation nnd their undevlatlntf consistency In pursuing a than purposes In every devious direction The discussion was distinguished by colldtrable- alcontro1on the part of Binator OConnor but rdeemlnr feature WA completely obscured- by the nastlnes and Indecency Indulged In by Senator HUpleton Ill language was fltly char ¬ acterised by Senator Cantor n more suluble to a barroom In a back street of Syracuse than to the chamber of a usually dignified and decent deliberative body It I U but just t say that Sen- ator Utapleton waited In vain for any support on Ibis own lid- lenatr Cantors arraignment of the bill It a a literary peach and the product of tho most extraordinary Ingenuity deote to the task of drafting th worst politi ¬ cl police bill ever Sean In tho Senate It pro- vides ¬ for four Commissioners not to be appoint- ed ¬ by the Mayor as In the btpartlsan legislation- to b Pe for Now York not by duly elected as Buffalo but by the Mayor tho Comptroller and th City Engineer of Troy Two of these are appointed officers who ow their appointment to a former Maysr and on who was defeated at the polls when up for re- election ¬ Tho proposition I therefore the plain one that the majority In the Legislature- want to control the police force of the city of Troy Irrespective of thl wishes of the majority- Of the people of that city Snator Kllburn admIte that the methods of to bill were said that the con- ditions ¬ t b met were extraordinary and ex- cused

answered Senator Kll ¬ burn and he added some more thing that he considered of no consequence Consistency was one of them Senator Gny described this rather flatteringly I M an eloquent attack on the

to fit a man to cut It out as clothes to fit some Repub lican Their legislation is always perlnal po litical and partisan Mayor V V repudi- ated ¬ by the people at the poll I Is reflected by the provisions of this bill to the ex- tent ¬ of making appointments of these Police Commissioners through the men he appointed You should have some appearance of regard for decency Even If you do not have it In your heart It would be good policy t make it ap ¬ A great deal of not too dignified talk ensued on both side all started from eome unintelli- gible ¬ reference of Senator OConnors to foot- pads ¬ and highwaymen Its tone was eucl a t encourage senator Stapleton to take The statesmanlike character of his oratory was indicated by the opening sentence As t the merits of this bill it concerns me little He finally achieved a series of similes based on terms of medical treatment that drew forth senator Cantors welldeserved rebuke The usual large number of petitions against Sunday opening of the saloons was received and the resolution to Investigate the Salt Springs preparatory to soIling them under the constitutional provision was adopted Senator Bradley put one of his feeble pushes behind his bill toreorganizetbellridgeTrusteee This is one of the vagrant fancies his poor old bead His opposition to everything that exists or ever old exist in bridge maUor is founded on an Incident that is told great glee up here It was a little personal matter between Col loll and the funny old Senator from who was not a Senator then resulted In his blnt called a rather I littling but t offensive name b memory of which eUI hunt his mind though he has grown rreat attack to ¬ day was as grotesque as He said that the administration nf bridge affairs had been so cor- rupt ¬ and extravagant that money enough had been spent to build a wall from New york to Brooklyn His bill would cut off the evils of the present situation and abolish sinecures he said It provides for three Commissioners one to be the President and the others and treasurer respectively at a eavlnl eecretar el aries which ha put at 315000- Hcnator Heynolds Informed the Senate that the people did not want the Bradley bill and were anxious to so If they could get a hear ¬ ing on the bill elJ asked to have the measure recommitted for a hearing and t allow for a proper measure to be drawn up senator Hrudley said this wa an attempt to delay bridge legislation contemplation- of such an outrage as delay In carnlnI out his Jotlont bridge matters lie reckless but did not say on what thy were founded that the authorities of New York and Brooklyn favored hl bill Then he Mid that he did tot propose bo governed by the corrupt Brooklyn ring that seemed to have reached Into the Senate and a hold on Ills associates U around this secure Such talk from any ole else would make a fuss but Sena- tor ¬ Bradley Is treated as though he was not entirely responsible when bridge topics are In discussion The Senate contented itself with voting against him Senator Coffey culled attention to his Onedollar Brooklyn las bill which had ben recommitted- on thu pretence that a hearing was to be given hut the Committee on Miscellaneous Corpora- tions ¬ had not met and the peopiewliowantod to b hear were reported to be sick He demanded bill be taken from the committee rue companies tied sold gas at 10 cents and then suddenly jumped the price up tol0 l and the public wanted to know why He thought that tbe committees action was suspIcious and gave notice that he would allow no juggling with his bill Ho

anti In nmkll the explanation of It which ho liacl pre- vented ¬ from doing Tho report and thu remarks had reference to tho claims fur sugar bounties and the effect was as tho Committee on Claims was equally divided simply to leave tho matter amounting to about 8000000 to be passed upon by the Committee on Appropriations and the Senate At the close of the days session suitable expressions of regret for the unpleasant occurrence referred to were made by both the Senators cud good feeling between them was restored The Diplomatic and Consular bill was then taken up the pending question being on the Item for the construction of a telegraph cable between the UnitN State and the Hawaiian Islands and controversy as to the status of American citizens In Honolulu who took part either for or against the existing Government- there which began yesterday was continued Mr Frye Rep Me called Mr Grays atten- tion ¬ to the despatches from San Francisco In this mornings papers Indicating that tho Drlt Ish Government held that British subjects In Hawaii who helped to maintain the existing Government there had not thereby forfeited their right of protection from their own Gov- ernment ¬ while under the orders of the Secre- tary ¬ of the Navy to Admiral Walker American Citizens under like circumstances had forfeited the protection which their own Government would otherwise extend to them Mr questioned the correctness of theirf- ormation ¬ that cant from San Francisco in re- gard ¬ to affairs In lawal Mr Palmer ridiculed the cable proposition as a notable cave of U Hlbcrntclsm providing a cable now for the use of a fleet which wi not be In existence before the next centur Ought we now he sid enter into- n engmtgonsentthat will cost 3000000 on ac ¬ count 01 in existing conditions or on account- of conditions such as can be fairly antici- pated ¬ I say no II pointed out tha tho annual exports from the United States to the Hawaiian Islands amounted to lees than this coot of thn proposed cable Mr Aldrich Hep It I called attention to the fact that Great Britain the commercial rival of the United States was seeking permls nlon to land a cable on one of the Hawaiian Islands end asked why that was Mr Palmer supposed that it wa because Great BritaIn needed It for extension to lirltlsh possessions And it is because we need it Mr Aldrich Interposed that we are supporting this propo ¬ sitionThe Senator Is right said Mr Palmer if he believes that I believe that we do not need It and therefore I act according to my belief I never could think of constructing a cable at the cost of S 1000000 to a country where our im- ports ¬ are 12 000000 a year and our exports only 1000000 I should regard that as In- volving ¬ an enormous amount of money that must necessarily be unprofitable The project is directed by political considerations that beglu and end In 1 the United States and In the Sand- wich ¬ Islands Ha purpose Is to give to the United States Government the means of com- municating ¬ with directness to Its forces at those Islands I do not favor either the an ¬ nexation or the acquisition of those Islands What would an American Congress do with those Islands If vi o were to annex them tomor- row ¬ Oh for an hour of Marcy andVeluter I said tha Senator from Colorado yesterday Mr Teller I say Oh for ono hour of Charles Sum ner who nould not consent to the annihilation of tire negro republic nf San Domingo In this place he confronted power and defended these ptople Is there no one who will rue anti speak for the helpless people of the Sandwich IMands who lowe been robbed and who are now gov- erned ¬ by agencies that aro as despotic as can be Imagined 7 1 he Government tIters is worse than a bastard republic It Is an oligarchic republic from the Government of which the great mass of people In excluded Mr Galllngcr Hep N 113110w does that Government compare with this government of this capital where suffrage is absolutely denied to all citizens Mr Palmer The comparison Is hardly a fair one because the Governors thero art robbing the people while hero the people are robbing us Mr C alTcry Ieui La opposed the amend ¬ ment preferring to leave thin cable to be con ¬ structed by an English company anti ha also oppnied this idea of annexation of the Hawaiian Islands At thq close of Mr Cafferys speech Mr Kyle Pop b IX obtained the
