The President pro teni laid before the Senate the credentials of Senator-elect Hill, of New York, and they were read and placed on file Turplo's Idea ot Electing Senators. Mr. Turpie then proceeded to address the Senate in support of the joint resolution, introduced by him December 10, proposjng an amendment to the Constitution providing for the election of United States Senators by a direct vote of the people of the several States. Mr. Turpie said that in the course of 100 years the country had thrice waged war; once for the Enfranchisement of commerce upon the high seas, again for the security and amendment of the national frontier upon the South and "West, and lastly for the supreme issues of Federal unity and the national life. In the storm and stress at tending these several trials of the American form of polity, parties might have erred, administrations might have failed and fal tered, but the neople had stood firm and fast not the rich, not the privileged, not the few favored by birth and fortune (their love and services would not have sufficed), but the man-. It was those who had no rank, and who belonged to no class, who had fought the battles of the country, enlarged its borders, and rescued liberty from its enemies. In A ccord IV 1th the Nation's Growtlu The passage of the proposed amendment would be (he said) in accord with the law of national growth. It would bestow upon the people a gift entirely worthy of their acceptance, and of the Senate's proffer. In conclusion he said: We are preparing fcr tho Exhibition Of a splendid international pageant commemora tive of the discovery and settlement ot this continent. In the imperial commercial metiopolls of the Great Lakes, that urban miracie oi tne century we are to suow, irom our own country, we ari to behold from others w hatever is most excellent in nature, art or industry. Manv a medal will be cast, many a souvenir will be designed in honor of an event so notable. It would be most felicitous should we signalize it by the submission and adoption of this amendment. Thus publishing to this grand commercial council of the woild's commerce and exchange that tho great republic of the West had given to its people direct con trol of, the legislative department of tho Government. Such an act w ould bo a mon ument of the age worthy of its genius and foi tunes more enduring than the Eiffel tower, more Imperishable than tho column of Trojan or tho arch of Vitus, which hve for centuries marked and adorned tho site of the Eternal City. Here In the right truly divine of self-government sovereign rule and dominion of the people would be pro claimed, vindicated,Jnstifled and glorified in the eyes of all earth's inhabitants to tho latest posterity. At the close of Mr. Turpie's speech the joint resolution was referred to the Commit tee on Privileges and Elections. Al bit ration With Foreign Nations. Mr. Mitchell offered the following reso lution, which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations; Resolved, That the Committee on Foreign Relations be and is Hereby instructed to in quire into the advisability of appropriate action looking to the invitation of the gov ernments of the woild to a conference to be held in connection with the World's Colum bian Exposition at Chicago for the purpose of discussing and recommending measures by which the principles of uibitration may be incorporated in tieaties, conflicting nnd international laws harmonizedand an inter national court established having jurisdic tion in cases which governments shall fall to settle by negotiation and to report by bill or otherwise. Mr. Mitchell also introduced a bill pro viding for the construction of two first-class revenue cutters for service on the Pacific coast, one of which shall be of at least 450 tons and the other of not less than 600tons displacement. Each of the cutters is to be constructed and equipped so as to secure a speed of 15 knots per hour. Senator Stewart on Free Coinage. Mr. Stewart then proceeded to address the Senate on that part of the President's message relating to free coinage. He said that the President was laboring under a misapprehension when he stated that the advocates of free coinage believed the act of 1890 would raise silver to par and keep it there. That act, he observed, was opposed by the Democrats, who had voted solidly against it. The anti-silver Republicans, with the votes of the free coinage Repub licans, had passed the act as a compromise measure. The act provided lor the redemption of Treasury notes in gold and silver coin, and it was the duty of the Secretary ot the Treasury to coin enough silver to provide for such redemption". There was no warrant of law, Mr. Stewart said, for the sale of bonds to buy gold for the purpose of ledeeming Treasury notes issued under the act of 1890. The redemp tion act of ISTo had authorized the sale of bonds for the redemption of.greeubacks out standing on the 1st of January, 1879, and for no other purpose, and there was no reason to suppose that sufficient gold would come into the Treasury for the redemption of notes issued under the act ot 1890. Con sequently, thev had to be redeemed in sil ver. He contended that the act of 1890 amounted to a pledge that the Go ernment would maintain free coinage. It was ex pressly declared in that act that it was the established policy ot the United States to maintain the two metals on a parity with each other upon the present legal ratio. Mr. Stewart argued at length in favor of the free coinage of silver. Some More Kills Introduced. The following bills were introduced and referred: By Mr. Sawyer Amending, in several ways, the act ot the last Congress authoriz ing the sale of timber on lands reserved for the use of the Mcnomonee Indians, "Wis consin.

The Eomantic Career of an Admirer of Mrs. Frank Leslie. HE GAVE HIS SOUL TO MEPHIST0 And Visited in Morning Jackets That Were Visions to Behold. NOW HE LANGUISHES IN A PRISON CELL rrrrcr.li. telegram to tite dispatch, i Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 17. Confined in the jail here awaiting a four years' sentence for uttering a worthless check is a young man with a most interesting career Albert Hope, the poet, actor and spendthrift. Al bert is a descendant of one of the best known Creole families of Louisiana, and in his day has basked in the sunlight of Mrs. Frank Leslie's smiles, and was on such fa miliar terms with her that while in her presence he "wore morning jackets that were visions. " "When Albert was but a stripling his father died, leaving him a fortune, and his bringing up was thrown upon a mer chant of Clinton, Ark. Albert attended the Clinton Academy and finished his education at the Southwestern University at Jackson, Tenn. In 1885 he was relieved from his minor disabilities and his guardian turned over property valued at?24,000. Excited over the fact that he ALBERT HOPE IN STAGE TOGS. was his own master, Albert sold the prop erty lor 511,500 cash and began a most romantic career in New York. While his money lasted he lived in princely style and moved in the highest social circles. It was at a reception given by Mrs. Cleveland, in honor of Horace Greely's daughter, that he met Mrs. Frank Leslie. In the intimacy which followed, Mrs. Leslie persuaded him to move to the Gerlach Hotel, where he had apartments in close proximity to her own. Be Had an Elegant Time. According to his own story his board at this hotel cost him ?380 per month, and during the year he lived there he paid the hotel keeper 7,000, but he says "I had an elegant time." He was a member of Augnstin Daly's company at this time, and it was while at this hotel that he met Tommy Bussell, the original Lord Fauntle roy, with whom he became great friends. "When Albert's funds grew short in Sep tember last he visited his old home in Clin ton, where he succeeded in inducing his former teacher to indorse a draft for him, stating that he had ?10,000tohis credit in New York. This drait he cashed, but his teacher had to pay the money, and he was indicted by the grand jury, tried and found guilty. "While in jail at Memphis he was visited by a correspondent, who asked him if he had heard from Mrs. Leslie since he had left New York. He said that he had re ceived several letters, but most of them were in his trunk at Philadelphia. He only had a portion of one letter with him; MPA TPJV.XK LESLIE-WILDE. the other part of it, as well as his diary, he accused the detectives of stealing. This letter was written in Mrs. Leslie's well known handwriting and bears her crest, the reindeer and the motto, "Tout on rein." Bfs r.ove for Her Was a Safeguard. It was written April 1G, 1890, and the portion remaining in Hope's possession reads as follows: "Mr Dear Alrert I was very glad to cet your nice, chatty lettor. I took it instead of my breakfast. Wnat c strnzgle yon had to get lodgings. It put me in mind ot my experience in New Orleans during Mardi Gi as, only you were more fortunate. I send joun paper about dear little Tom. My ankle is doing well and I am able to nse it without awkwardness. I shall miss you ever so much, dear, when the crowd comes; hut, I daresay, the changcwill he of benefit to you. Von are so alono In the word, dear, that the love you have for the boy and my self Is youronesafesunid, and I want you to cling toitastoaraft in shipwreck, for this is all that keeps you as the poem runs from being ruined." "The other pages four were stolen from me," said Albert. "Inotice she speaks very affectionately." "Yes," said tho prisoner. "Bead thia clipping," handing a newspaper clipping which read as follows: r-he Was Sorry He Was in Distress. "lie was such a pretty boy," said Mrs. Frank Lesllc-Wilde last evening In the Ger lach, at No. 55 West Twenty-seventh street, speaking of young Albeit Hope, who Is under arrest In Memphis for uttering a worthless check. "He had the daintiest hands and feet," she continued, "dark, dreamy eyes and black, wavy hair. His manners wcro lovely, nnd lie had the most exquisite ta&to in dress. Ills morning Jack ets were visions. I am so sorry Albert is in distress. He Came into my life about two yeais nco. He hnd Just come to New York with a lortune inherited from his father, a cotton merchant in New Orleans. Ho Is a Creole, of the same race as myself, and he was presented to me by Mrs. Cleveland, 4RSo ifiii sister of Horaco Greelov.- I took a fancy to the boy and he to me. Ho came heru to J live, ne said, to ue near me. AiDerc was as generous as a urince. He gave costly up pers and spent his money without stint. He would bring me roses costing $2 apiece." "Did he spend all his time in social frlvolt tlcst" I asked. "Oh, no," Baid Mrs. Wildo. "Ho spent all his time with me. Tommy Eussell Little Ijnrd Fauntleroy) and I were hli dearest friends. He wore our picture In a mlnature locket hung around his neck. Of course ho wns one of thoso 'girl boys,' and he wanted to be near me all the time. The mils worshiped him, but ho told me that he did. notcaie lor tnem ana tuns ne usm uht kissed a gill In his life." He Gave His Sonl to Mephlsto. Hope's diary gives a full description of his rapid life, "in it he tells how he made the acquaintauce of Mrs. Leslie, and fre quent allusion is made to her in his diary as one whom he had wronsed. The ruin ot his life, he says, was his love for Tommy Eus sell, tho original Little Lord Fauntleroy, and it was to this infatuation for the boy actor that he attributes the beginning of a series of swindlings and a passion for absinthe. The confessions are of the most remarkable character, at times reading like the wildest fiction, but. showing him to be well read and finely educated. Page upon page are addressed to the boy actor in the most en dearing terms. At one place he speaks ot absinthe, to which he had then become a slave, as "Thou fairy with the green eves," and passionately writes: "Come, Mephisto, give me my love; my soul is thine to torture as thou wilt" Included in the book are a number of poems, some of which are good. It contains a total of 100 verses. A dispatch from New York states that Mrs. Frank Leslie was interviewed at her apartments at the Gerlach just after she had returned from a dinner party. Ills Poetic Tendencies Wore Noticed. "Yes," she said, "I knew that misguided young mau very well. In fact, I received a letter from him to-dav tellim? me of his conviction and speaking iu a hopeless way J GET Profit by the quieter morning hours, when you can walk about with pleasure instead of being carried by the crowd.

He came to me about four years ago with a letter of in troduction from the daughter of Horace Greeley. He had other letters, and it was generally supposed that he wbs very wealthy. In fact he was thought to be a millionaire. His father and mother were both'dead, and lie took apartments here at the Gerlach.' The difference in our ages was such that no one would suppose that he wanted to marry me, and I saw a great deal of him. He lived in a very expensive way and attended my receptions regularly. He was a handsome boy, well-mannered and evidently of good family. Frequently he dined with me. He had remarkable musical talent, and I don't .think I ever heard a young man who had a better touch of the piano. He also wrote some verses cleverly, but not good enough for publica tion. He became a most devoted friend Of little Tommy Eussell, who played Little Lord Fauntleroy, and they were together constantly. "Finally he came to me one day, about two years ago, and said: 'Mrs. Leslie, the sorrow of my life has come. I have lost an important lawsuit and I must cut down my expenses. I want you to loan me some money.' I told him that I had taken a vow never to loan a man money. I could give it.to him, but if he took ft he would tall in my estimation. He said that he would never accept it as a gift. Finally, however, I did loan him money, about 5250, I think. He was a brilliant' boy, but lie was unable to turn his genius to account. For a time he had a minor part at Daily's Theater. He became addicted to absinthe, however, and he filled his head with the worst class of French novels. It ruined him. So far as I knew, he had been up to that time a very exemplary young man. He was passionately fond of Tommy Eussell." She Head His Diary and Was Sorry. "Have you his diary that he had when arrested?" asked the reporter. "I have read it," answered Mrs. Leslie, AN EARLY START. THAT'S THE SECRET OF SUCCESSFUL CHRISTMAS BUYING. Fancy Sets id Boxes.

It was unspeakable. The diary was dedicated to Tommy Hussell, to read when ne Decame 21 years old. Its contents showed that the young man's brain had been weakened by absinthe, and" it was filled with the ideas that he had gathered from his French novels. I think there was a poem in ft dedicated to me, in which he accused me of trifling with a bov's heart or something equally absurd. "When I read that diary I thought that he should be punished. I feel sorry for him now, however, and if I could help" him I would. I sent an agent to see if he could aid him in any way.
