VOL. XXX-NO. 133. HENSEL'S ABLE SPEECH He Keeps the Senators in a Roar of Laughter. HAS THE SENATE JURISDICTION? He Gives Authority to Show That It Has and Recites Cases.

NO SLEEPING SENATORS ON THE FLOOR The senate anjourned shortly before 5 o'clock last evening at the request of Mr. Gilbert, whose voice was becoming visibly weak from the severe strain of an all day address in arguiug the Boyer case. At 10 o'clock this morning when the senate was called to order by President pro tem. Gobin, Mr. Gilbert resumed his argument.

The feature discussed by him was the warrant drawn by the school department, at the solicitation of Mr. Boyer, to the Philadelphia school district, six months before the appropriation was payable. Mr. Gilbert contended that it was the opinion of the superintendent of public instruction that the warrant was payable at the time he drew the warrant, and the superintendent was right in his construction of the law. Mr.

Gilbert concluded his argument at 10.45 o'clock. Senator Woods offered a resolution to extend this session until the attorney general concluded his argument, and when the senate adjourns, it should meet again on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. The resolution was agreed to. Attorney General Hensel began his argument shortly before 11 o'clock. He said, as to the question of jurisdiction, he wanted to remind the senate that the first day of the session the senator from Lebanon, the chosen parliamentarian of the senate by his side of the fioor, presented a resolution demanding a thorough, prompt and searching investigation of all the charges made and that the resolution was adopted.

He called the attention of the senate to the fact that this senate, upon the petition of two bondsmen of a high sheriff in Pennsylvania, removed Sheriff Rowan, of Philadelphia, and if it had jurisdiction to act in that case it had jurisdiction to act in this case. In the case of Sheriff Rowan the petitioners did not have a public but a private interest. He also reminded the senate that it had also removed from office, Alderman Gilbride, of Scranton, for misconduct and dishonesty, and addressed the governor for his removal 011 same section of the constitution as governor quotes in his the messoge. He also cited the case of the remaval of Judge Kirkpatrick on the address of two-thirds of the senate, which act was much more extended than the power given in the fourth seetion of article sixth of the constitution now before the senate, as in that section the judges learned in the law were excluded from removal. Mr.

Hensel denounced the charge of counsel on the other side that the governor called the senate at this time for partisan purposes as an infirmity of those making it. He said the governor was not unmindful of the fact that the senate was largely republican in its majority. He further contended that the governor called the extra session immediately upon the information contained in his message without any thought of the election. He contended that removal by address was exceutive business and governor did have the power to call the senate in extra session and he cited many authorities to Drove the assertion. Mr.

Hensel's argument was interwoven with humor of the brightest kind and it was frequently punctuated with laughter. When he was citing the case of Alderman Gilbride, of Scranton, he said the charges were investigated by a committee of fifteen senators whom he named with McCreary and ten republican senators first on the list and five democratic senators with Lloyd last. He thought the order in which the senators were appointed and in which he named them might indicate their fitness to serve on the committee. The committee he said reported to the senate sustaining the charges and recommended the removal of the accused. At this point Mr.

Shapley asked the attorney general what the alderman's polities were. Mr. Hensel answered that he did not know, but as Senator Grady had called for the rules of the day when the report was presented he could infer what the alderman's politics were. He referred in sarcastic terms to the missing Cashier Livsey. Mr.

Hensel pointed his finger Treasurer Boyer, who sat immediately to his right and said he believed to be true what the state treasurer had declared after his return from Canada, that he had not spent a month there this summer in search of the missing cashier, but spearing the sportive salmon and directing his rifle shots at the swift fleeing deer. It is only due to Mr. Hensel to say that there are no sleeping senators on the floor to-day. Nearly all of them are present and the lobbies are crowded. Senators Robinson, Thompson and Grady are among the missing.

Mr. Hensel said it may be that Robinson retired on Senator November 1st to draw his salary in another capacity. A Petition in the Senate, A peptition has been going the rounds among the republican senators praying for the appointment of K. Frey as postmaster at York, to succeed J. B.

Small, whose term will soon expire. Frey is said to be the originator of the petition presented by Senator Gobin in the senate recently asking for an investigation of charges against FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 1891. A COAL FAMINE At the Chicago Docks--All This Kind of Fuel Exhausted OWING TO THE MINERS' STRIKES In the Pittsburg and Indiana Block Coal Fields. 7,000 MORE MINERS ORDERED OUT. By Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Nov. is 8 coal famine at the Chicago docks, where the steamers and tugs are supplied, caused by the strikes in the Pittsburg and Indiana block coal fields. Every available ton of fuel has been exhausted at South Chicago, and stocks have become so low that the steamers are anything they can get. 0. S.

Richardson Co. had 300 cars at Cleveland, which they intended to ship immediately by lake in order to relieve the famine here, but yestorday the firm found that the railroad company had confiscated the entire amount for its locomotives. The trouble extends to all manufacturing establishments heretofore using Pittsburg and Indiana coal. 7,000 ORDERED OUT By the State Convention of Bituminous Coal Miners at Terre Haute, Ind. By Associated Press, TERRE HAUTE, Nov.

The state convention of Bituminous coal miners yesterday followed up the action of Tuesday night in ordering the 7,000 miners out of the mines by voting for a determined strike in conjunction with the block coal miners, for what is known as the Columbus scale, seventy-five cents for mining bituminous coal and and eightyfive cents for block coal. The 2,000 block coal miners are all out. The scale that has prevailed since last May was seventy cents for bituminous and seventy -five for block coal. The operators say they would do nothing at present. They expect a long game of freeze out.

SPARKS FROM THE RAIL President McLeod of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad has purchased a house at Buffalo, N. and it said he will remove from Philadephia to Buffalo. The announcement of this purchase created a great deal of a stir in railroad circles. Considerable surprise was expressed that Mr. McLeod should leave Philadelphia, and many guesses were made as to it meant.

The house was owned by Herbert Bissell, a relative of Wilson S. Bissell, ex-President Cleveland's former law partner, and is situated at the corner of Linwood avenue and Utica street. The architecture is modern and handsome, and a splendid lawn fronts one hundred feet on Linwood avenue and surrounds the house. The price paid is stated unofficially to have been $37,500. At a meeting of the directors of the Western Maryland railroad company J.

M. Hood was re-elected president and general manager. This is the nineteenth consecutive year that Mr. has served in that capacity. The announcement recently made that all trackmen of the Reading railcoad had begun working nine hours per day instead of ten, as in the summer, and that the rule affected about 1,000 men, making a reduction of 124 cents per day in their wages, is somewhat misleading.

It has been the custom, time out of mind, on the Reading as well as on other roads, to make this change in the hours of the trackmen at this season of the year. The reduction is always expected by the men, and is partly due to the shortening of the days, but more particularly to the fact that the work of renewing, strengthening and extending the "permanent way" can be prosecuted to better advantage in the months between April and November. The roadbed, bridge structures, and track of the Reading system were never in better condition than now. It occurred on the Doylestown branch and is vouched for by a number of regular riders on the 6.50 train. A young lady, who is a frequent rider, was deeply absorbed in one of those popular paperback novels, when she was approached by the conductor and politely asked for her ticket.

A smile twitted about the mouths of the inmates of the car and the conductor looked astonishen as the young sweetly answered: "Please wait until I get to a period." He waited. PERSONAL. Mr. O. M.

The freight wreck at Longfellow station, three miles west of the Middle division of the Pennsylvania railroad, early yesterday morning, was one of the most extensive that has occurred on that division for years. An eye of the A A affair furnished a STAR-INDEPENDENT reporter, this morning, with the following particulars of the accident. "It was caused by the bursting of a wheel under a freight car while the train was ruuning at least eighteen or twenty miles all hour. The train was tugged by engine No, 469, and as soon as the engineer felt the jar behind him, he brought the train to stand still. The train was running over culvert over a a public road, and when Yost, the brakeman, who was standing on top of a car saw the mischief ahead of him, he jumped for his life.

He landed on the roadway and was injured as described elsewhere. He was picked up and given tion possible by a Lewistown sortoatton. til placed on a train for Harrisburg. Nineteen cars freighted with flour, cotton, immense polished horns from the west, and other merchandise, and tracks were so blockaded that trains were delayed over ten hours. I left Altoona, on a life stock train for Harrisburg at 2 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, and arrived at Harrisburg at midnight.

You know live stock trains have the preference of the road next to passenger trains, and we passed no less than twenty-three east bound freight trains all sidetracked, on our way down. It was a most fortunate occurrence, as you have already heard, that the Oyster express eastward bound was five minutes behind time. Had it been on time, the flagman of the wrecked freight train would not have had time to go back and it, and the train would stost assuredly have thundered into the the wreck with the most horrible consequences. Indeed the shock would have telescoped all the passenger coaches and the loss of life would have been another holocaust." CHEERFUL GIVERS. Donations to the Children's Industrial Home in October.

THE PRINCESS OF WALES Will Help Celebrate the a Silver Anniversary Wedding of the Czar and Czarina of Russia. (Our Special Cable.) LONDON, Nov. is said to be with the entire consent of the Prince of Wales that the Princess of Wales will be with the czar and czarina, at the celebration of their silver wedding, on Monday next, instead of helping to celebrate her husband's fiftieth birthday.

The princess will present also to the czar and czarina the gift specially manufactured for the occasion, in behalf of the prince. This gift consists of two large pilgrim bottles in silver, which are in their form and workmanship. They were sent to Russia by special order. The Duchess of Edinburg, the czar's only sister, will also be present, but without the duke, who is enjoying himself in London in the absence of his Russian wife. The Princess of Wales will remain with her sister, the czarina, until about the close of November.

The two sisters are strongly attached to each other and have not remained so long together in years as on this occasion. There appears, however, to be no ground for the gossip that there is any coolness between the Prince of Wales and the princess. NO GREAT PUBLIC DEMONSTRATION. St. PETERSBURG, Nov.
