C. Feb. 18. "If the amendment to the Constitution which is proposed is adopted, the members of the Senate ofthe United States will be chosen by the direct vote of the free people of the several Slates, and it will he, what it has never 3-et been, the popular branch of the Congress ol the United States." These were the words of Senator Palmer, of Illi nois in his speech in the Senate to-day, urging the election of United States Sena tors by popular vote and his arraignment of Ihe Upper Houteof Congress as a non-popular body as in language not often heard by the venerable members of that dignified assemble-. That this language, too, should have been used in the maiden speech of a new Senator va- not in fccepiug with the usual decorum and traditions of that aucnst body, but as Minator Palmer louiibt his way to a seat in the Upper Hou..e by the advocacy of the principle 01 popular election of Senators, and. indeed, to "-ome desiee, asnn opponent of some ot the restrictions involved in "en jitonal courtesv,"' he probably does not feel con-tiauied to observe with reverence all the barriers of tradition. The resolution presented bv Senator rainier, and which i now pending In the Senate, provide tor the formal submission of si constitutional amendment requiring United States Senators to be elected by direct vole of the people of the various States instead oi by the State Legislatures, as at present. Due notice of his intention to aduress the senate to-day havinj: been previously given, t'ie galleries were well tilled and inanv members of the House were present to hear the Illinois Democratic tenator advocate the gieat political piin ciple or v hicii he lias so Ions been the repie seutative 111 the West. M-nator Palmer's Trite Spech. Senator Palmer opened Ills speech by say JiV that 111 urging this constitutional amend ment he only obeyed the instructions given 1 im in the most impiessne manner by the people ol the State of Illinois. '-Tiic pcoplo ot Illinois," said jiei "me loyal to the Consti tution and are devoted to the principles of osdeily, constitutional nee government, but thev believe that the election ol Sen ators by the State Legislatures, under exist ing conditions, has faded of satisfactory re sults, and that the leiorm proposed by tho joint l-esolntion now before the "senate is de manded alike by correct principles and the highest considerations of public policy." llic Senator reviewed brielly the sreat Doulassanu Lincoln tenatoii.il contest in Illinois, and then detailed the successive fctepssind declarations that had been made by the Democracv of Illinois in regard to tlie subject, and winch had finally led to Democratic timmph in that Slate and the election of a representative of that principle to the United States Senate- "Upon the issues contained In the plat form adopted by tho State con rcntlon,'" sanl lie, "101 members of the State Legislature (01 being the whole number) vere elcctctl by an aggregate plurality of moie Ui:iii3j,0 o ote-. These 101 membeis of the LcgiUtuie, legaidtng themselves as electors chosen toicgister the will of tneir constituents between the 21st day of Janu ary, 191. and the 11th of Jlarch", voted for the candidate nominated on T3 ballots, and on the 154th ballot they weie joined by two members of the House of Representatives who were iavorable to the election of Sena tors by the ducctvoteof the people of the tcicral states. Oil that ballot a senator was elected." The Old "7ay No Longer Popnlar. OT course the "two members'' alluded to weie Representative. Jloorc and Cockrell, ot the Fanners' Mutual Item-fit Association. The Senator insisted that the constitutional mode of decline seiiatois bv the Legisla tures of tho States was no longer satislac tory to the American people. He did not anvan to make himself responsible lor the charges of bribery and undue influence that attended nearly eery senatorial elec tion by indorsing or resolving any ot theui. 2Ie relents 1 10 them in that slight manner only 10 emphasize the statement that the people no longei con fl led in, but werepio joundly distrustful ! the methods of clec ti.ig senators by the state Legwatuie-..

Organized as it was, it was able to direct its influence to the attainment of any ie-irable end. Bat pi operty had now nothing to tear Iroiu the agiessi"e action of the people or iroin their direct influence upon the Gov ernment. All that the neople could gain by The siroposed amendment would be enlarged powers of stli-de:ense.

Chicago, Feb. is. .SwnaLl E. Ellery Anderson, of Iv'ew York, said to-night: "Our only purpose in holding mass meet ings such as that in Cooper Union is to let the people know that the few poli ticians who control the party ma chinery do not faithfully or truth fully reptesent the Democracy of Xew York. If we come to the Chicago Convention with a contesting delegation lrom Xew York it will be only to tell the delegates from other States that the unit rule forced onsthe New York delegation speaks a lie when it savs that our State is unanimous for Hill. AVe will tell the con vention that the men chosen next Monday bv Hill's convention do not represenUKew York. "IF we find the popular dissatisfaction with the 'machine' as widespread, as we have reason, from the 500 letters a daywe receive, to believe it is, another convention may be called in May, at which ail the Democrats will be fre'e to express their preference. 'Ye think that if the matter of Hill or Cleveland being the choice of New York lor the Presidency was submitted to a full, fair vote by the Democrats of the Slate, Mr. Cleveland would win by a large majority. If Fill should be nominated by the Chicaeo Convention he cannot carry New York. His financial views would antagonize all business men, and his reactionary tarifl opinion would drive away the voters for tariff reform." FLOBENCE'S WILL CONTESTED.

On his deathbed he twice spoke of this codicil. In each case he was inter rupted. The objections were entered without the concurrence ot other members of the family. They formally state that the paper writing offered for probate is not the last will and testament of the decedent; that it was not executed according to the statute, and that it is illegal and void.

Harvard Replies to the Demands Made Ij Tale's Representatives. GENERAL SPORTING XEWS OF THE DAT There certainly is a big treat in store, for shooters and patrons of the sport in Pitts burg. Heretofore the annual shoots pro moted by Messrs. E. E. Shancr, Jim Crow and F. F. 'Davison have been very great successes, hut tliis year the indication? are that the annual event will be a greater success than ever. Enoch D. Miller, of Springfield, X. J., was in the city yester terday and guaranteed 51,000 lor the May shoot. Mr. driller represents the Inter-Sfato Gun Manufacturers and Dealers' Association and that means that the guarantee is not only absolutely safe, but that other benefits will also result. The gentleman stated that he will have about 15 of the best shots in the world here to participate in the con tests, and this certainly will give the event an unusual prestige. Mr. Shaner was delighted with the offer and during a cbnversation last evening taid: "Mr. Miller's guarantee will enable us to give one of the best shoots in the United States. Heretofore our guarantee for prizes has been 5300, but now we can give bigger prize? and we are clear of the responsibility of making them up if they don't fill. De- Eend upon it, we'll have a great tournament ere this year. "I think our tourney will take place at Hoiuewood Park in May, and we will have the contests divided into three classes, viz:' Experts, semi-experts and amateurs. Whenever it seems justifiable we shall move a competitor from one class to another; for instance, if a man in the amateur class is killing a big per eenta?e of his birds, he will be put'up a class higher. There will be no soft snaps. And we will have some of the best shots in the land here, and they will meet come good ones in Pittsburg. Our great object will be to give everybody a fair show anil, have some of the finest sport that shooters and the public can find." HAEVABD'S SIDE OF IT.
