MHO demanded such recognition.

It would txt desirable, from n strictly heoretloal standpoint, to avoid all suob mbarrasslng coiupllcutlons, but votes are necessary to pass a new tariff bill and nncosslnns luviot be made to obtain them. The very utmost that can bo hoped fur ly the next administration, oven allow- ng tor the seating of Dupont of Dela- ware, which Is an Improbability, Is forty- five In the senate, or just half of tho total membership. On ouch a showing tho 'Ice president would have tho deciding voto. But with that prospect In view tbo combined opposition will defeat the neat- lug of Mr. Dupont, making it absolutely necessary to secure recruits from other ouroos.

There nre only two directions from

which help can be obtained —viz.: from tba sound money Daiuiwrattj or the frco silver Republicans. Senator-elect McKn- erv of Louisiana has raid that be would vote for and support a tariff bill that would give recognition to sugar, Lut that Is indefinite, and outside of him there Is no assurance that any of tbe sound money Democrats would help out.

Washington, Jan. 23.—In tho senate

Senator Cullom presented it number ot letters favorable and unfavorable to tho Anglo-Auierlonn peace treaty.

Then Turpio (Horn. Ind.) caused a sen-

sation. Hu mild three weeks ago a formal utterance from the secretary of state rela- tive to tho Cuban question appeared in tho newspapers. At that time there was no resolution before tho somite. Under

Mich circumstances tho secretary's utter- ance wan a bitter dictum, most rude, most NWlft and of tho most voluntary character. Tho scniito might have passed this by, b.ut today tho pub:ioatlon op-

jn the newspapers to tbe effect that

a compact had been entered into between the secretary of state and tho new premier (Sherman) by which thcro was to oo' no further action touching Cuba during the present administration. "Allow me to say," proceeded Tutple, "I regard such course as a violation between the legisla- tive and executive blanches of tbo govern- ment, and has been done only onoo Uotore1

when Cunning"—lut this point Sherman Interrupted by saying, "if tbo senator **' fers to tbo publication of today I will say there is not tbe slightest warrant for tbe statement made. I Imvo not hod no 'vfcwd with Olnoy on tho subject and there has been no mention of the agreement or un- derstanding.") Turplo said he wns glad to accept tho disavowal nnd added, "What ever difference ot opinion there may he SB to the independence of Cuba I think ev- ery senator hero favors tbe independence

pli«bed in fact until tho senate bud exam- ined and passed upon It. In his judg- ment It was very poor policy to have tboso.rcpeatod utterances culling on sera- tors to act at once. What if it should turn out that there was some unintended advantage to Knglund or disadvantage to tho United States In tho treaty which both parties would correct.

Hoar sold no man was more desirous

than himself to see an ora of peace and good will, but he wished to enter n pro- test against meddling with the serious duty of senators. By this time tbe gal- leries wore filled and there was Intense In terest In the discussion. Sherman fol- lowed Hoar, there being added interest in bis statement la view of his early entry to the head of tbe state department, and bis present position as cbnlramn of tbe com- mittee on foreign relations. He said no onu was more ready than himself to con- gratulate the country on tho conclusion of this treaty. At tho same time the treaty was one involving such grave con- siderations that should bave the most careful, mature and dispassionate consid- eration. That was the present purpose of the committee of foreign relations. Tho members were about to take up tbe treaty to consider it article by article with tbe greatest oaro. Tho committee said It

would proceed with all speed compatible with interests Involved.

Thoro was no purpose to postpone or de-

lay action. Senator Allislon of Iowa,

how long tho treaty had been under

oonsldoratibn between tho governments. Sherman eald a year, if not longer. Gresbaru took active part in the early no- gotlatljns. Hour said tbo question had been up in one form or another for twenty years. Gladstone made a speech on It in tho house of commons twenty-five years ago. A delegation came from England

ten yoarg ago bearing a request from a majority of the members of parliament favorable to arbitration. Ibo delegation

was entertained in Boston and there came a favorable response throughout tho

country.

.1. A. Sorlmser and Edmund L. Hay-

llss, were before t!io houso committee on interstate and foreign commerce In tho Interest of the Pacific Cable company of New York, against Spaldlnir. company of New Jersey. Sorimsor sold eighteen

months after passage bis company would complete tho cable to Hawaii and u yoar Inter to Japan. Ho oald in case of war with England tbe cable communication with Europe would be out oft*. Ho said

tho Htorumont that Japan granted no oth- er cable connection wai ridiculous." His lino to Japan would give to the people of that country over one million dollars In tolls. Tho Spaldlng company would build to Hawaii and stop. In reply to a ques- tion from Patterson of tho committee, as to tho truth of tho statement that tho company would be dominated by English Influence, Sorlmser said, "Of course tho company expected to do business with British people." Patterson proponed that a provision bo Inserted In tho bill in rnso tho compnny[tn operate should come un- der llrltlflli Inlluenofg.

Tho president approved tho act for tho

erection of a government building at the Tennessee centennial exposition, without advertising for proposals; constructing tho law In reference to award of life sav- ing medals so they may lie awarded to persons not members of life saving crows and for exertions olfowlioro than adjacent to life saving stations.

Champaign, III., Jan. gi.'.—The annual

fracas between the members; of tbe fresh- men and sophomore olassoH of tbe Univer- sity of Illinois occurred last night. It leaked out late In tho afternoon that the freshmen woro to havo their sooialle In Uusy'a hull. Urbona, and at 7 o'clock sophomores begun to gather in tbe street In front of thu opera houso building. Mayor Hubhard hud boon notified that thcro would probably be trouble be-

tween the men of the two clusses.and, as a consequence, he had more than u dozen extra policemen on duty in the street in front of the building, and some of them were, located in different "parts of the building.

The flrst arrivals among tho freshmen

and young women accompanying them wore allowed to go into tho hall unmolest- ed, but ut about H o'clock the mob of up- por class men mndo a ohargc on tho en- trance to tho ball. They were repulsed by tho police, wbo stood with upraised olubs, and In tho scramble ono student was arrested and taken away to the city building. When tho sophomores saw that

they could not break through tho line of officers, they went to a building just across tbo alloy from tho opera houeo and gained entrance to one ot the second Htory rooms. From this point they were able to look into the dunce hall, and It was tbo work of only an instant to throw missies which broko out tho glass In at leant eight of the windows. This accomplish- ed, the dunce hall was Hooded with tho chemicals for which tho Unlverklty of Illi- nois students have uouonio noted.

Never in tbo history of freshmen socia-

bles has any class been able to inhabit u room into which tbeso chemicals woro thrown, nnd in loss than fifteen minutes tho hall wits nearly dosortcrt. Tbe fright- ened, freshmen retreated to another part of the-building, but declared that they would go on with their festivities as soon an tho hhll was "aired."

At 0:80 tbo sophomores made another

attempt to got into the ball, mid at this

Mayor Georgo Hubbnrd took tho

mutter In charge. Ho ordered out the Volunteer Fire department, and two

streams of water, under hlgH pressure, wore turned un the crowd of sophomores mussed in tho street. At first they show- ed no inclination to retro'it, but finally mado u rush pell-mell to tho shelter of hallways of adjoining buildings.

Wbllo tho firemen were fighting tbe

mass of the mob with streams "f water, a half dozen sophomores anil upper class- men were attempting to get more ahem- Icitls Into tho ball where the party was to bo held, and tbroo of them wore arrested In the attempt. They were taken to po- ll o hoaoqunrtors, and had not )>eon balled out by friends at 10."JO o'clock.

Miss Delia Hnbunbangh of this city,

who was being escorted to tbo party by a freshman, B. M. Thompson, may proba- bly lose her eyetght as a result of tho nlght'fl performance. While iiour tho en-

trance to tho hall sho and young Thomp- son were attacked by a'party (.f sopho- mores, who throw chemicals at thorn, and tbo fluid entered tbe oycs of tho young woman. She was assisted to the office of Dr. Bartbalow, and was In groat agony. After a hurried examination tho physi- cian said the eyes hod been seriously in- jured, and tliat perhaps the slgtt would be destroyed. A t 9:30 o'clock ho uald tbe patient was resting more eBBy, and that perhaps she would recover without seri- ous results.

At 10:30 tho streets wore clear of sopho-

mores, but It wns sold they bod not gone to their quarters, and tho polios were ex- pnctlng another attack later In tbe night, provided the freshmen should nttempt to proceed wltB their party. At II :80 o'clock nil the sophomores hart disappeared from i he atreit- and tho freshmen had resom their festivities nnd there was no further disturbance
