CHANDLER AND HAWLEY AT ODDS REGARDING SECOND CLASS CITIES
Slrlt'tl Controversy Ilrtrveen (he
Ke?V HarapSMtre un.1 Connecticut
Bettntorfl OtCI nn Kvrnt Connected
With the lluye.-Tllden Contest.
Washington, Jan. 22. The senate In ;
executive session yesterday confirmed
the nomination of James S. Harlan,
son of the supreme court Justice, to be
attorney general of Porto Rico. The
final vole was reached after a discus
sion of more than two hours' duralon,
and when announced stood 43 to 21 In
favor of confirmation. All the Repub
licans cast their votes in the affirma
tive and two or three Democrats voted
With them.
The session was characterized by a
spirited colloquy between Senators
Chandler and Hawley, in which bitter
personal language was used. The con
troversy between them grew out of a
letter written by Senator Chandler in
1S77, and which was read by Senator
Pettlgrew, concerning the controversy
over the Hayes-Tilden election, in
which reference was made to the part
taken by Senator Hawley and Justice
Harlan (neither then occupying his
present place) in the settlement of the
Louisiana controversy of that time. In
that letter Mr, Chandler stated that a
commission of which those two gen
tlement were members bud been sent
to Louisiana by President Hayes to de
stroy the Packard state government.
This having been accomplished, Mr.
Chandler said the president then nn
dertook to "recognize" the members
of the committee, giving Hen. Harlan
the appointment f an associate Jus
tice ami offering Oen. Hawley the
place of ilnei lor of the Paris exposi
tion, which the latter had declined,
Mr. Chandler said, because of the In
adequacy of the salary.
When this point In the article was
reached Mr. Hawley Interrupted in a
somewhat excited manner to denounce
the statement as false, which he did
In very emidi.it ic and plain language.
Mr. Chttndl r re lied i:. a like manner,
saying that Hie article bad been pre
pared by him 23 years ago; that it bud
never before been contradicted, and
that be still stood by it. He added
that the whoh Bubjecl was ancient his
tory and announced his intention to
vote for Mr, Harlan's confirmation.
Senators Spootler, Mason and Lind
say made brief speeches, Mr. Maaon
spoke of Mr. Harlan's qualifications as
a lawyer, and said that he did not
think any the less of Justice Harlan
because of his attachment for his fam
ily, Mr. Bpooner said there appeared
to he no opposition except that of 8en-
ni r Ptftttgrew. Referring to Sen r
Bp oner's remarksMr Pettlgrew quoted
ex racts from editorials In a num
ber of newspapers in reprobation oi
Mr. Harlan's nomination, He said be
had no purpose to delay a vote, and
when he com luded the- ballot W;.ss
taken.
The house yesterday, after devotinc
some time to District of Columbia
business, passed a number of bills un
der suspension of the rules. They
were to provide a home for aged and
Infirm colored people out of the fund
now In the treasury to thns credit ol
deceased colored soldiers, amounting
to about $230 000; to establish a branch
soldiers' horns at Johnson city. Wash
