WASHiiiGTOMaroh iO. rThe han dreda of Spectators who thronged the Senate galleries today were treated to one of themoglt exciting scenes that baa been witnessed at the capitol dnriag (he present peuionbe prinoipal actors were Senators Riddleberger. of Virginia, and Logan, of Illihois. The occasion of this legislative emeuc was-a iisr irvm James li. Eads to Senator Logan, -which the latter pregented to the Senate yes terday and which today appeared in the Congr8sicmal:Re)ord. Jlr. Biddieberr ger, in a load tone of voice, demanded to know upon what authority a personal letter addressed to John A Logan, de nying certain statements made by. a brother Senator, should be spread npon tlie paes of the Record. ; Grow.g'm6re and, more bxcited aa he proceeded, Mr. Rlddlcbercr intimated that he wold Hold General Logan respODsible for the publkJatiqn infthe Record. While Mr Uiddleberger was gesticulatbg, ; the spectators in the galleries leaned forward to take in every word,, and Senators 4P' on the floor looked at eacb other in con ftternation and wondered what the junior Senator from Virginia would next say or do. As soon,, as Senator Logan found opportunity w:; speak he arose, and, turning to - Mr j iddleberger, said lie wu utterly astounded at the statements just inade.f He aaid he intended to cast no reflection, upon tao V iremia Sena tor when he submitted Mr. Eads's let ter:, and had simnl v 'presented it as a statement from an' honorable American citizen. Mr. Logan who is also iugn- stranS sppearied to be laboring under f. yA h ni ,rtnn , 12: - committee when Mr Riddleberger; re plied that he ui not seek a personal controversy with i General Logan, trot be would defend himself against such attacks' as tppeared iin tbe letter from iapUin JSads, which had' been slipped into the Record by Gen.

The Io Wa land-grant forfeiture bill wss taken up At 2 o'clock the matter went over. The ehair (aid before the Senate the resolutions reported rom the judi ciary committee as to the right of the Senate to papers on file in the depart ments. " ! 1 I;..' ;- .-The galleries presented their usual crowded appearance, and theU occu pants seemed to relish the change from the discussion of the land grants to one involving- the considerations of the ex ecutive prerogative and; constitutional law. -! 4 I , Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, addressed the Senate in ; support of the resolutions reported by the . majority ot the com mittee, .j 'I : Mr. Wilson said that for the first time in the progress of this government its executive power is now being used as a means of assault on the character and reputation of its citiiens. He stated the fact and would not now stop to de termine whether it was the result of a purpose, a want of thoughtful action, or any other cause whatsoever. It was an unexpected faot, however, and ! doubt less, it would have been guarded against if the framera of the constitution had believed such a result .possible in the administration of thejexeeutive power nnder, the provisions of that instrument as prepared by them. W ith this intro duction Mt. Wilson proceeded to argue that the cjmtest between the Senate and the President was one in which the Sen ate sought, to protect the character and reputation of the eitisens from assaults by the President, 'such assaults being removal or. suspension from ofiice, and the protection being the efforts of the Senate to: obtain knowledge of the rea sons for 'such removal or suspension. The existing situation Mr. Wilson de scribed as a curious political phenome non, the 4 result of an eaually : curious political i evolution. He attacked the j President ;:upon the ground of incon- ! sistency between bis civil service reform I utterances! and his actions. J "Who could have anticipated, "jsajd Mr. Wil sonj "that the political protoplasmic presence which floated on the bosom' of the Democratic platform of 184, and waose inaenniieness was expressed in tlie Words j"We favor honest civil ser vice: reform,' could have evolved a re sult' so harmful to the character and reputation; of the citizen as (he ; practice of the present national administjration.- Mr. Wilson traced" the development of political evolution which took its start in the protoplasmic presence upon that platform, i marked its various stages thenceforward in the Cleveland letter to Ueorge William Curtis, his letter of ac ceptance, lis inaugural address, and his first annual message to Congress. He said : "Those utterances bf Mri Cleve land as presidential candidate:, President-elect, and President, contained many things which thoughtful men ap proved, jj American politics! would be. greatly improved if this test which they ; induced eonld be carried on without regard to the posses sion as an: acquisition of; the thousands of offices treated by our laws.; . Mimi nate this factor from the ease and let the minds of bur people be given to ; the public measures, policies and; interests with which our political organisation deals and. I do not doubt that the most beneficial results will follow. 1. The be lief that this would be; so was enter tained. by many thousands and tens of thousands' of our most considerate citi sens, i It was the knowledge of this fact that 'caused the Democratic party to put into it piai;orm qi 4004 a pro to piasmic uncertainty which said 'we favor, honest civil service reform, '.and it Wss this knowledge which ' impelled iir. weveiana as presiqennai oanaiaate President-elect and President : to give utterance to the expressions which I have quoted. The convention gave him a bad start by its meaningless ex pressiqn and so we need 'not wonder that he has reached a like result. The politl call evolution whose several stages the President announced, had not produced a new species, itioau not eveUjimprovea i." , k itit-J i.: if J an oia one ine process; did not promise anything' better at the beginning, while the end had eiven somethintri infinitely worse. The high sounding phrases and generous platitudes which chad been thrown out and , around tbe uncertain and: meaningless expressions of the plat form had not changed it in the least: It was the same now that it was then. It was simply a political hermit-crab. Bto wed away 'in an appropriate shell of that better political organism called "re form," which had increased in Biie and elaborated its ugliness but had not changed its species." The people, Mr. Wilson continued, had given Air. Cleveland generous credit for sincerity. They had listenea to nis proiessions 01 reform and studied tnem riney nad appreciated the dimoulties surrounding his assumption of executive power, but they conld not reconcile his ; totioni In suspending competent and faithful pub. lid officers with his repeated assurances that such things would not be done. He had said that men would not be dis charged for partisan reason! bnt only for cause. The people had believed that be had the eonrage of . his oonvio- tions This resulted in the universal belief that charges other than political should be lodged against a public officer before his suspension . could be as sured. ; It had logioally followed that whenever an officer Was suspended the people believed that some grave charge had been brought against him. Indeed every suspended officer was by tbe President's own declaration made to stand before the country as unworthy of trust and confidence. If this were not a necessary conclusion, what must be the estimation placed by the people on the word of the President, and if it be a correct conclusion, what must be the President's idea of fair dealing with the citizen, i He had suspended 643 public officers and marshalled them before the country as persons unworthy of trust or confidence. . Many of those person! had requested to be informed of - the nature of the charges made against them. -This had been denied to them In this way the executive power, was' being used aa a means of assault against the character and reputation of oitisensitf the republic. No such outrages held been inflicted on our eitisens from the first year of our national existence until the incoming of the present administration, its pomp and circumstance of reform to the contrary notwithstanding To protect the char acters thus insidiously assailed Mr. Wilson held to be the duty of the Sen ate, and in this was to be found the im pelling motive of the majority of the Senate judiciary- committee in its atti tude concerning these suspensions. In bis further argument Air. Wilson fol- owed the line of Mr Edmunds' speech uesdayj that law and precedent were against tbe position assumed by the resident and his cabinet when they af firmed that the right bf suspension was distinct from that of appointment and was independent of revision by the Sen ate, adapting it, however, to his as sumption that protection of the charac ter of suspended officials was a prime factor in the contest Mr. Kenna obtained the floor to speak on the resolutions. Mr. Edmunds said he would next week press the Senate to 'stick to" these resolutions so as to get them finished and out of the way of other business. He did not feel dis posed to press them to a conclusion now, while One of our' members lies un- buried." The Senate adopted resolu tions of regret at the death of Mr. Mil- er, of California, and providing for the conduct bf his funeral by a committee of both houses, and went into executive session at 3.45 The doors were re- pened at 6 o'clock and the Senate at once adjourned. ; . ' HOCSK. Mr. Hammond, of Georgia from; the committee on, judiciary; reported back adversely the resolution directing that committee to inquire into the right of the United States to cancel patents for inventions and discoveries. Laid on the table. Mr Parker, of New York obtained eave to file a minority report. lhe House, in committee of the whole, resumed the consideration of the Indian appropriation bill. Mr. Weaver, of owa, occupied almost the entire session in an extended criticism of thj ludian policy of the present administration. W hatever part was taken in the debate by other members was in the nature Of questions and suggestions to Mr. Weaver. Pending; the discussion the committee rose. A resolution was adopted author- iiine the aooointment of a committee of seven members to join with a committee from the Senate in escorting tbe remains of Senator Miller to California. The House adjourned. The Railway ndeto th fttrlke. . AntavyoutBe SiDAUA, Mo., March 11.

Tuesday afternoon about eighty inmates of the alms-house were seised with vomiting and severe pains. Dr. Weiss, the at tending physician, was hastily sum moned and, at once pronounced it a case of wholesale poisoning. Measures were promptly taken to counteract the poison. Today most of the victims are suffering severely from nausea and twelve of thorn are in a critical condition. An in vestigation revealed the fact that all who drank ; of the coffee prepared for Tuesday's noon meal were sick and the doctor soon found the coffee pot, lined with a thick sediment of par is green. The vessel holds a barrel or more ana1 into this some person bad thrown almost four pounds of the poison. The physician is of the opinion that had it not been that the poison ;was too strong, causing in-1 stant vomiting, more than half the in mates of the almshouse would now be dead.

A NKW KSULAND GENTLEMAN S OPINION or TUB NEW WINTCR RKSORT. Glen's Falls (N. Y.,) Republican. Inquiries are quite frequently made by our readers concerning the new win ter resort now being developed in central North Carolina and we can doj no bet ter by way of answer than to copy a let ter, recently received from Mr. B A. Goodrich, a resident of Massachusetts: i Socthrrh Pisrs, N. C, Feb. 24. It may not be generally known that the constant use of paste-pot and scissors will, in a few years,' undermine the strongest constitution, but such is the fact; and this fact is one of the ' reasons why Southern Pines is a favorite resort for editors from the North. They come here lank and cadaverous, and a few weeks breathing of this enchanted air and inhaling the fragrance of the. pines makes them "tough." We; have a New Hampshire editor,, a j Vermont editor, a New York editor and, a Penn sylvania editor; all so charmed with this health-giving region that they are building pretty little eottages to live in. But we are not wholly given over to the Scribes. There are plenty of Pharisees too: A bank president from Vermont, a druggist from New Hamp shire, another from Michigan, j a doctor from New York, a teacher from Massa chusetts, a farmer from Minnesota, and, carpenters from all over thi country.Thej are all as busy as as twell-f-as pig9. I can't think of a better simile,! and Mr. Editor, if you've ever seen a Southern porker at work on the "root-hog-or-die" principle you'll see the force of it Southern Pines is growing right along. We don't call it "booming." because "booming" often signifies more noise than progress. We are not send ing out colored maps of our town, beautiful as a dream and just.$bout as real. Of course we want peopl4 to come here people who will be missed in the North but we don't propose to; set forth any impossible' advantages to draw them this way. Suffice it to say that a gentleman from Michigan, after spend ing part of the winter here and the rest of-it in various portions of South Caro lina, Georgia and Florida, comes back here to settle because this is "the best place." j ; W are having lovely weather, the mercury ranging the most of this month between 50 and 70 degrees above tero warm enough to sit or sleep (if one can get time) out of doors. Our fires of pine and oak in open fireplaces are often merely ornamental by day, but at night it is pieasant to gainer about tnem. From our windows we do not gaxe npon a lovely landscape of swamp and slug gish river, with here and there a grove of orange trees laden with frozen fruit. Wo daily thank the Lord that we are so situated that our farmers may know to a certainty what they can and what they cannot do. North Carolina does not Sropose to raise Valencia oranges or innesota wheat, but there are plenty of things she can raise in perfection and with no fear of failure. Here at South ern; Pines vineyards and peach orchards are; being cultivated and no one who knows anything about small fruits doubts the success of the venture. We have a climate and soil much like that of southern France, and a glance at the thickets of wild grape vines in' full bearing, as the writer has seen them, will convince the most skeptical that this is the native home of the grape. Our town is on a high ridge, in the very midst of the long-leaved pines, well Watered, beatiful for situation, wonder ful for health. We !want the best peo ple and are getting ; them. We won't nave rowdies, we won't hnve drones, we won't have liquor. : Among the "to be's" are a hotel and a boarding school, both first-class, before another autumn. We want the people in the North to know about us for their own good as well as ours. Let no shiverer in the orthern' blast imagine that we are far away.
