Police bill by the Committee the Whole of theSenate today gave the Democratic Senators anopportunity to renew their attacks on the shift-ing
¬
andI Inconsistent course of the Itrpubllcans-as to pouch and principles ot legislation nndtheir undevlatlntf consistency In pursuing athan purposes In every devious direction Thediscussion was distinguished by colldtrable-alcontro1on the part of Binator OConnor but
rdeemlnr feature WAcompletely obscured-by the nastlnes and Indecency Indulged In bySenator HUpleton Ill language was fltly char ¬
acterised by Senator Cantor nmore suluble toa barroom In a back street of Syracuse than tothe chamber of a usually dignified and decentdeliberative body It IU but justtsay that Sen-ator Utapleton waited In vain for any support onIbis own lid-
lenatr Cantors arraignment of the billIt aa 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 bPe for Now York not by duly elected
as Buffalo but by the Mayor thoComptroller and th City Engineer of TroyTwo of these are appointed officers who owtheir appointment to a former Maysr and onwho was defeated at the polls when up for re-
election¬
Tho proposition I therefore theplain one that the majority In the Legislature-want to control the police force of the city ofTroy Irrespective of thl wishes of the majority-Of the people of that city
Snator Kllburn admIte that the methods ofto bill were said that the con-ditions
¬tbmet were extraordinary and ex-
cused¬
the use of unusual methodsSenator Cantor asked t Did not thee con-
ditions¬
exist under Mayor Whalen and are notthe two officials put into the hu the appointeeof Mayor Whalen
That is no matter answered Senator Kll ¬
burn and he added some more thing that heconsidered of no consequence Consistency wasone of them
Senator Gny described this rather flatteringlyI M an eloquent attack on the Constitution re-
cently¬
adopted In this State which ho a strongrovlslon In favor of uniform legislation fordUe lie knew better though than to xpect
uu UC WflJUiib 7ywas IvLn raKOUOrwarlegislation God forbid said he that I oranybody should accuse the Republicans of conBlutency Consistency Is no moro a part of theirnature than rectitude is Their whole object Iistmkelellslaton to fit a man to cut It out as
clothes to fit some Republican Their legislation is always perlnal political and partisan Mayor VV repudi-ated
¬by the people at the poll IIs reflected
by the provisions of this bill to the ex-tent
¬
of making appointments of these PoliceCommissioners through the men he appointedYou should have some appearance of regard fordecency Even If you do not have it In yourheart It would be good policy t make it ap ¬
A great deal of not too dignified talk ensuedon both side all started from eome unintelli-gible
¬
reference of Senator OConnors to foot-pads
¬
and highwaymen Its tone was euclatencourage senator Stapleton to takeThe statesmanlike character of his oratory wasindicated by the opening sentence As t themerits of this bill it concerns me little Hefinally achieved a series of similes based onterms of medical treatment that drew forthsenator Cantors welldeserved rebuke
The usual large number of petitions againstSunday opening of the saloons was received andthe resolution to Investigate the SaltSprings preparatory to soIling them under theconstitutional provision was adopted
Senator Bradley put one of his feeble pushesbehind his bill toreorganizetbellridgeTrusteeeThis is one of the vagrant fancies his poor oldbead His opposition to everything that existsor ever old exist in bridge maUoris founded onan Incident that is told great glee up hereIt was a little personal matter between Col
loll and the funny old Senator fromwho was not a Senator then
resulted In his blnt called a rather Ilittling but t offensive name bmemory of which eUI hunt his mindthough he has grown rreat attack to ¬day was as grotesque as He said that theadministration nf bridge affairs had been so cor-rupt
¬
and extravagant that money enough hadbeen spent to build a wall from New york toBrooklyn His bill would cut off the evils ofthe present situation and abolish sinecures hesaid It provides for three Commissioners oneto be the President and the othersand treasurer respectively at a eavlnl
eecretarelaries which ha put at 315000-Hcnator Heynolds Informed the Senate thatthe 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 measurerecommitted for a hearing and t allow for aproper measure to be drawn up
senator Hrudley said this waan attempt todelay bridge legislation contemplation-of such an outrage as delay In carnlnI out hisJotlont bridge matters lie reckless
but did not say on whatthy were founded that the authorities of NewYork and Brooklyn favored hl bill Then heMid that he did tot propose bo governed bythe corrupt Brooklyn ring that seemed to havereached Into the Senate and a hold onIlls associates U around this secure Such talkfrom any ole else would make a fuss but Sena-tor
¬Bradley Is treated as though he was notentirely responsible when bridge topics are In
discussion The Senate contented itself withvoting against himSenator Coffey culled attention to his OnedollarBrooklyn las bill which had ben recommitted-on thu pretence that a hearing was to be given

had not met and the peopiewliowantod tobhearwere reported to be sick He demandedbill be taken from the committee rue
companies tied sold gas at 10 cents and thensuddenly jumped the price up tol0l and thepublic wanted to know why He thought thattbe committees action was suspIcious andgave notice that he would allow no jugglingwith his bill Ho finally agreed ton alt anti seeIf Mr Donaldson would keep hid promise andhave a hearing on Tuesday

The negotiations with AustriaHungary forthe year have been principally upon the troublesof Unite States naturalized citizens burn Inthat country An Important case that of JohnBenlchof Chicago relative to the validity nf-hi auport which has been under considera-tion

more than a year lit been settled byAustria conceding every principle contended forby Minister Bartlett Trlpp Austria claimedthat tits roan had been fraudulently naturalisedand Ida passport wits therefore worthlessThe Unte States declined to recognize thoright an Austrian municipality t question-Its validity although after Benlch vm releasadfrom tho military duty Into which ho had beenImpressed and Austria had surrendered to theUnited States on every point an Inquiry wasInettute nt the suggestion of tito Deptrt

The case of John Hofmann another Austrianborn citizen of this country who ass expelledfrom Prague last July U for reasons of publicwelfare attracted considerable attention at thetime Tho reason for the expulsion as givenwas U because it appears contrary to publlopeace and order that persons who have evadedthe military law In this manner naturaliza-tion

tlement¬
of this and similar cases saysI am disposed to think the reason that Aus¬

called¬

withdrawn on that occasion anti In nmkllthe explanation of It which ho liacl pre-vented
¬
from doing Tho report and thu remarkshad reference to tho claims fur sugar bountiesand the effect was as tho Committee on Claimswas equally divided simply to leave tho matteramounting to about 8000000 to be passedupon by the Committee on Appropriations andthe Senate At the close of the days sessionsuitable expressions of regret for the unpleasantoccurrence referred to were made by both theSenators cud good feeling between them wasrestored
The Diplomatic and Consular bill was thentaken up the pending question being on theItem for the construction of a telegraph cablebetween the UnitNState and the HawaiianIslands and controversy as to the status ofAmerican citizens In Honolulu who took parteither 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 Inthis mornings papers Indicating that tho DrltIsh Government held that British subjects InHawaii who helped to maintain the existingGovernment there had not thereby forfeitedtheir right of protection from their own Gov-ernment
¬
while under the orders of the Secre-tary
¬
of the Navy to Admiral Walker AmericanCitizens under like circumstances had forfeitedthe protection which their own Governmentwould otherwise extend to them
Mr questioned the correctness of theirf-ormation
¬
that cant from San Francisco in re-gard
¬
to affairs In lawalMr Palmer ridiculed the cableproposition as a notable cave of U Hlbcrntclsm
providing a cable now for the use of a fleetwhich winot be In existence before the nextcentur 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 thoannual exports from the United States to theHawaiian Islands amounted to lees than thiscoot of thn proposed cable
Mr Aldrich Hep It I called attention tothe fact that Great Britain the commercialrival of the United States was seeking permlsnlon to land a cable on one of the HawaiianIslands end asked why that was
Mr Palmer supposed that it wa becauseGreat BritaIn needed It for extension to lirltlshpossessions
And it is because we need it Mr AldrichInterposed that we are supporting this propo ¬
sitionThe Senator Is right said Mr Palmer ifhe believes that I believe that we do not need Itand therefore I act according to my belief Inever could think of constructing a cable at thecost of S 1000000 to a country where our im-ports
¬
are 12 000000 a year and our exportsonly 1000000 I should regard that as In-volving
¬
an enormous amount of money thatmust necessarily be unprofitable The projectis directed by political considerations that begluand end In1 the United States and In the Sand-wich
¬
Islands Ha purpose Is to give to theUnited States Government the means of com-municating
¬
with directness to Its forces atthose Islands I do not favor either the an ¬
nexation or the acquisition of those IslandsWhat would an American Congress do withthose Islands If vi o were to annex them tomor-row
¬
Oh for an hour of Marcy andVeluter I
said tha Senator from Colorado yesterday MrTeller I say Oh for ono hour of Charles Sumner who nould not consent to the annihilationof tire negro republic nf San Domingo In thisplace he confronted power and defended theseptople Is there no one who will rue anti speakfor the helpless people of the Sandwich IMandswho 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 thana bastard republic It Is an oligarchic republicfrom the Government of which the great massof people In excluded
Mr Galllngcr Hep N 113110w does thatGovernment compare with this government ofthis capital where suffrage is absolutely deniedto all citizens
Mr Palmer The comparison Is hardly a fairone because the Governors thero art robbingthe 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 alsooppnied this idea of annexation of the HawaiianIslands
At thq close of Mr Cafferys speech Mr KylePop b IX obtained the Moor but yielded to
other business saying that he would make someremarks tomorrow
