Two Hundred and soever, f en Members Present. But no Quorum Votes Senator Morgan Makes a Per sonal Explanation Cana- dian Annexation Dis cussed in Connection With the Tariff Bill. SENATE. Washington, April 11. The Senate took up the v pending Urgent Deficiency bill and discussed it without action upon any proposition until 1 o'clock, when the Tariff bill was taken up. Senator Hale took the floor, but yielded to Senator Morgan, who said that he de sired to make an explanation, or state ment, which miglit be called personal or political. He read an extract from an article in a New York evening paper of a recent date, commenting upon the man" ifesto of the Minnesota Democracy against certain Democratic Senators for their supposed oppo-itlon to the Tariff bill. "That," said Senator Morgan. "i3the French method of trying a man in his absence, and without serving a copy of tlie indictment upon him. I have tlie opportunity now, however, and I think it my duty to enter a plea of not guilty to this accusation from Minnesota, which doubtless, was manufactured here and sent to Minnesota. 1 am satisfied with the bill now before the Senate as it came from the Finance Committee, I pro pose to vote for it without any amend ment whatever. And if my friends on the other side want to delay action upon it in the line of filibustering, and if they notify me of that, I will take occasion to do as I have done before-sit up for several nights cocseeu tively to accommodate them. I was a tariff reformer before the gentlemen were born who have issued that diatribe against me; and I have not, in the least degree, relaxed my purpose and desire to have, in the United States, a fair, equal and iust system of tariff taxation that shall bear equally on all persons, so far as I can make it do so, and that shall not contain one single item of bounty to any person in the country. That is what I have to say." Senator ilale then proceeded with his speech on the Tariff bill and in opposi tion to it. In the, course of his speech an allusion to Canada waked up some discussion of the question of the Cana dian annexation. In discussing the question of duties on lime Senator Hale yielded to Senator McPherson, who put a long and rather involved question to him, the response to which was that the question contained so much knowledge on a subject which the Senator knew nothing about that he (Ilale) could not answer him. Laughter. Senator McPherson's retort was that Senator Hale's remarks on the subject were not worthy of consideration.

At 5 o'clock, p. m., according to the agreement.- the Tariff bill went over, Senator Pelfer not having finished his speech, and the consideration of fhe further Urgent Deficiency bdl was be gun.

New Yobk, April 11. One of the worst storms of the season struck this ity last night. Rain commenced falling during the afternoon, finally turning into snow, sleet and hail, and, accompanied bv terrific wind, has continued ever since. Along the coast, the gale still continues with unabated fury, and fears are ex pressed that many disasters to shipping will follow. The first notice of a wreck comes from Long Branch, where the life saying crew report a vessel ashore at Squan, ten miles below, and gone to pieces. It is said five men have been drowned. Telegraph and telephone wires are down in every direction and the city is almost completely cut off from all communication with the rest of the world. Pottsviiae, Pa., April 11. The storm in Schuylkill county is the greatest in point of snowfall in forty years. At Pottsvitle there is fifteen inches. At Frackville, the head of Mahanov plane. on Broad mountain, the snow is twenty eight inches deep. Not a ccal train has been moved and all the track laborers and extra hands are kept busy in.dig- gmg open the switches and the mam tracks, while engines with snow plows are at work clearinar the tracks to the mint s. The collieries are all idle. New Yokk, April 11. A fearful galo 8 wept the New Jersey coast last ngiht and continued to-day with almost una bated tury. lhe beach along the Atlan tic ocean from Sandy Hook as far south as Loner Branch, N. J., is strewn with wreckage. This morning allarge schooner was noticed in distress a short distance from the coast at Seabright, N. J. Owing to the heavy gale and tremendous surf, the life boats were useless and it was im possible to successfully land the iife lines. Bef ore assistance could reach the vessel it went to pieces. Six bod es have been lost in the surf. A heavy snow storm prevailed during the morning hours, and the life saving crew were unable to locate the signal guns which could be heard sounding at internals. A great many handsome cottages at Highland beach. Monmouth, Seabright and other points have been wrecked. Many pavilions at Long Branch have been damaged and at many points wharves, landings bath houses, etc. have been swept away. Reports received from points south of here as far away as Atlantic City, state that the storm has raged all night and it is feared many vessels have been wrecked and probably a great number of the crews drowned. The telephone wires connecting the life saving stations have been blown down and it is impossible to get details of the storm. Monascquan, N. J., April 11. At 4 o'clock this morning the Monasuquan life saving crew were notified of a ves sel ashore half a mile south of Seagirl. When they reached this spot with their apparatus the vessel's masfs had gore overboard. A line ,was fired over the hulk, but nobody was seen on board and no attention was paid to it, and inside of half an hour the vessel went completely to pieces. A piece of wreckage which floated ashore bore the name "Albert W. Smith." Nothing has been heard from the crew either living or dead From the apparent size of the vessel she probably carried a crew of eight or ten men. She was northward bound with some heavy cargo as none of it has come ashore. THE UPPER CAPE FEAR.

N. WILMINGTON, N. C, THURSDAY, APRIL 12, COURTSHIP BY PISTOLS. MADELINE OUT-KENTUCKTS KENTUCKY COLONELS. Colonel Thompson Hldicules the Idea of a Courtship anrt Promise of Mar- -riajfe In 1892 -Ma j. Butter worth. Comments Upon the Alleged Country Girl In nocency of the Plain tiff The Court Room Cleared. Wilmington, April 11. Col. Phil Thompson resumed his argument for CoL Breckinridge this morning in the Pollard-Breckinridge case before a very sparse attendance. Miss Pollard was not present, but the defendant was on hand. He took up the alleged breach of promise and asked if it were not a re markable thing that a man who had been living in adultery with a woman for nine years with the distinct under standing, so she said, that he would marry her if he were ever free, should tell that woman that he had something surprising to tay to her, and then pro pose. Everything in the conduct of the plaintiff last spring, he said, her attempt on the defendant's life, her threats to ' disgrace him, her promise to commit suicide and leave a written story of their relations for publication all these showed a character the reverse of that claimed by the plaintiff. This woman had laid her plans to bring a breach of promise suit had she not told Claude de LaRoche Francis of the pretended engagement and asked him to remember it, saying she might need his help by and by? "A courtship with pistols," cried Col. Thompson. "Talk about your Kentucky colonels, and having them come into court throwing up their coat tails to see whether they had pistols underneath them. I suspect there was one coat tail that was not turned up. that had a wea pon beneath it. Did you see the yicious look on that woman s face the day this case started? I was afraid, sitting there beside the colonel, that a bullet would come straight at us from that woman's pistol. Uh, what a courtship, with its only memento a pistol." lxl. lhompsou concluded at 10:50 o'clock. He was followed bv Maj. Ben. Butter worth, also for the defense, an eloquent talker. Mai. Butterworth began somewhat diffidently, but he soon warmed up to his worK, characterizing the suit as a far- reaching pestilence that should never have been brought to trial. Maj. But terworth said he had known Col. Breck inridge for many years as lawyer, friend, neighbor, colleague, brother. "and," he said, "you may speed it on the lightnings, gentlemen, that the man" to whom Ben Butterworth was a friend in his prosperity does not turn his back on him in his adversity." lhe popularity of the genial Ohioan and the belief in this eentiment was shown just here by handclapping from the spectators. Judge Bradley indignantly resented this breach of decorum. "Clear the court" he cried. "There have been enough disgraceful scenes here." The bailiffs were a little slow in clear ing the room ana Judge .Br. d ley or dered all who were not lawyers to go. "There are a great many here who are not members of the bar who are sitting in the bar seats they'll have to go" said the judge, and they went in droves. Fnlly three-fourths of the men sitting inside the bar rail went out, but their seats were filled again in two minutes. "It was a most remarkable tiling," said Maj. Butterworth, resuming, "how innocent this little school girl had been. They did not raise girls like that on the Miami when i I was a boy. I offered nothing in extenuation of the defendant; his friend, Judge Wilson, could not be more severe on him than he had been on himself. But as to the plaintiff, she had said: 'I was only a simple country 'gyrl,' Mr. Carlisle,' and what could a simple country girl know about men.' M that be your theory I denounce it as a vile slan der on every country girl in the world. A country girl knows the difference be tween the right and wrong. My mother wasa country girl playing with your mother, her neighbor, my good friend (turning to Judge Wilson) on the banks oftheMiarni, My sister ,was a country girl; so was yours. They needed no one to tell them the difference between right and wrong; they needed no watchful duenna to protect them from bad men. Don't you know that?" to Judge Wilson. No ' i es, and 1 11 speak of it again, said udge Wilson. But people say, could country girls resist the silver tonguer, l am sick oi thatp(t has been worked thread are." MajXButterworth went on to tell how he had heard and read comments on the defendants demeanor in court. "If he laughed, linfeeling wretch: if he was grave, ah, Hie feels his shame; x if he smiled, he wasxtrivial." But if the plain tiff smiled 'Ah, 6he wa3 smiling through a vale clears." "Now, Maj. Butterworth," said Judge Bradley, "please confine yourself to the case. The matters of xwhich you speak havexbeen picked up through the news papers or rumor, or something else, and have notmng to ao witn tue eviaenc You are losmg: time." " Maj. Butterworth, after a little debate with the court, acquiesced in the sugges tion of the court and resumed his argu ment. He picked Miss Pollard's charac ter to pieces, beginning with the letters she wrote to Owen Robinson, in 1SS0 Even then, he said.she knew about love and marriage ' and corresponded with young men this innocent girl who says she never knew a person, did not have a single friend, not eyena bowing ac auaintancethis innocent Hittle school "gurl." He said he did not believe her stories about her age that sli did not know until she was 12 years old about the vear she was born, and all that. Taking up after recess the Wessie Brown letter which he read, Maj. But terworth said that that writing told t)f experience in love father ret&arkatye ik . r, i. c.n :i i iw, uj an innocent little girl, who knew nobody, This led him to inquire why it was that while other girls in America went with out cheoerones, Miss Pollard was never trusted to walk alone with the boyg Why was Uncle' George, or Aunt Lou of Mrs. Kean alwavs with her.' Why was it that this frirt was so watched? She had been engaged to Bodes, she bad been finffasrei to Rosell. and she confessed a love for Aleck Julian mad - Prof essor ODermeyer. "Did she not have experi ence?" he asked. Taking up the letter dated July 20, ISSi, inviting Col, Breckinridge to call on Miss I cQard .t Wesleyan college, Highest of all in Leavening Tower. Latest U. S. Govt Report ABSCUlfElX PURS wnich the plaintiff pronounced a for gery, tm criticised the counsel for the plaintiff for trying to hold up the de fendant as a blackleg, a perjurer, a rorger, in the face of all the evidence that she wrote the letter. Shaking hi3 fist at Col. Breckinridge and rushing at him with a well simulated ferocity of countenance and manner, he almost shouted: "Its either the letter of Made bine Pollard or you'r guilty of forgery; youv'e disgraced your family, your tra ditions and your boy who 6its by your side; or else that woman lied." Contrasting the claim of iMiss Pollard that she was an innocent girl when she met Col. Breckinridge, with her own testimony and the letters she had writ ten, he said that if she were all she said she was, then there was some excuse for bringing the Suit. "If what she says is true," he saiqp, with his eyes turned up ward and hands high above his head, "then I am in favor of Congress offering a premium to every woman for pulling down a glittering star in the present or any other firmament." With no attempt to disguise his irony, he pictured Miss Pollard as she had made herself appear at the meeting with the defendant at Wesleyan college a poor, fluttering little creature, who tried and tried to tell this man of her trouble with Rodes, and was laughingly diverted and mVide to tell of herself and to listen to flatteries. He maintained that if Miss Pollard had been all she claimed and if Col. Breckinridge had made wrongful advances he would have been repulsed in a way that would have kept him from further conduct of that sort. "There is that about the vir tuous woman," he cried, "which chills every germ of lascivious approach. As for the carriage ride that nigtit, if she were a virtuous woman, at the first ap proach of lasciviousness on his part she would have cried and Maj. Butterworth made a rush at the white-haired defend ant and shook his fist in his face, shout ing his words in tones that could have been heard a block 'Take me back, you leper.' You would not have gone twenty feet with her," he said, addressing the defendant. "I don't care anvthin?ahont. your blandishments she would have run away from you gons to her mother to somebody for protection and so would every virtuous woman remilse such lecntrous advances. Then Mai. Butterworth nictured the little pricking piu of conscience that we may forget in the moment of tempta tion, but which comes back, after we have had a good night's sleep, with ter rible force and keeps us straight. Miss roiiaranaa said that after the defend ant had attempted to take advantage" of her one night and she had resisted, she went innocently to him the next dav. And if she were virtuous, he asked, could she have done that without that pulling DacK oi conscience.' In this course of his further argument Maj. "Butterworth compared the plain tiff to Delilah and 'Col. Breckinridge to Sampson; she got him in her power and led him by a single hair; and when she had-shorn him of his locks she cried: Sampson, the Philistines are upon vou" and then he pulled down the temple of his fame and accomplished his ruin. In all the years of the liaison, he said, there had not bee a a memento, a ring, any thing, given her as a mark of affection savo and except the little willow basket which had been the dead wife s. "And she claims herejfor no other purpose than to mate hu cucne more horrible, that he brought it to her with these words:; ' Madeline, this was Issa's; she cared for it and I want you to have it. , My God! Can it be that this man can be monster enough to drag in the name of his dead wife, to bring a mes sage from her grave to this woman his mistress? Whatever W imam C. P.Breck inridge may be guilty .'of whatever his shortcomings, he could not be guilty of insulting the memory of that dead wife, with her grave clothes still clinging to her dead form. And this woman tells how, in that carriage ride when he was trying to seduce her, xhe spoke of his dead wife (his first wife) and his dead little boy, and she haunts them like a ghost frontthe grave to parade them before the world, and every decent waman cries: 'My God! That cannot be so.' I do not condone the shortcomings of this grayx haired man, I do not seek to extenuate his fault, but is he the monster she has painted him? She tells us that she gave up her child after holding it in her arms two hours., Did ever woman live who would do that! Never! No woman would let her child be taken from her breast, but would pull back her child as if from the gates of hell." The fervor and intensity displayed by Maj. Butterworth at this point was felt by the jurors and spectators. The Ohio lawyer marched back and forth, shout ing and gesticulating and illustrating every idea with appropriate gestures. He contended that the description given by "Louise Wilson" (Miss Pallard) of the man who seduced her fitted old men Rodes, and that he was the father of her child. He had just reached this point at 3:40 o'clock, when he asked Judge Brad ley to adjourn the court. He was ex hausted, he said, and Judge Bradley readily granted mm the courtesy he bad extended to Messrs. Carlisle and Thomp son. -Base Ball. Savannah, Ga., April 11. Savannah, 6; Charleston, 17.
