THE POPULISTS REFUSED TO YOTE They Declare They Were Under no Agree ment to Refrain From Voting Houae Leaders Fromlse no Further Tariff Tinkering This Session. Washington, Dec. 31. Tho committors of tho sennto yoatcrday passed Into the control of tho Republicans by ti voto of 3l to 23. Tho change In tho political com ploxlon of tho ooinmlttoes wa3 effected by tho mloptlou of a resolution organizing tho committtos an ngrooil to by tho lie publican anil Democratlo steering com inltteos. Tho I'opullsts, with tho excep tion of Mr. Kyle, of South Dakota, de clined to voto, and tho Republicans, hav ing a plurality of tho scnato, wero thus enabled to adopt tho resolution. Mr. Kyle voted with tho Democrats against tho re organization. A two hour debate followed tho adop ttonof tho resolution, tho purpose of which was mainly political. Tho Democrats, under tho loadershlp of Senator Gorman, ably seconded by Senator Harris, at tomptod to show that tho reorganization was effected by an nlllanco between the Republicans and Populists, contending that tho sllonco of tho latter, by making possible tho reorganization, Indicated quiescence They also Insisted that Re publican control saddled them with the responsibility of legislation. Tho Populists, led by Sonntor Allen, ol Nebraska, and Senator Cutler, of Xorth Carolina, denied that thoy wero In any fashion rosponslblo for tho result. As soon as the voto was announced Mr. Allen felt It Incumbent upon himself to make an ex planation of tho attltudoot tho third party men. Ho referred to tho fact that at dtf ferent times tho incmbors of his party had been referred to as "Domocratlo Populists" and "Uopubllcau Populists. Both terms wcro distasteful to them. Ho wanted the sennto and tho country to understand that, though small In number, they constituted tho nuole' i of a thoroughly organized party, cd'.iiplotoly independent In political principles and sympathies. In reply to nuostlons from Mr. Harris, Tennessee Democrat, Sir. Allen said that tho Popu- liBts realized that thoy held tho balanco ol power. "Wo havo got It," ho said, turn ing to Mr. Hnrrls, "and wo proposo to utlllzolt." Tho Republicans, undor tho leadership of Senator Mitchell, chairman of the Re publican stcoring committee, and assisted by Senators Hoar, Hale, Allison and Chandlor, combatted tho argument of tht Democrats by assorting most emphatically that tho Populists had ovon rofused to make any suggestions as to their commit tco assignments, and had, as a matter ol fact, boon loft by tho reorganization In tho positions to which thoy had boon nssignvfJ under tho Domocratlo control of tho son ato. Tho Republicans protested also against being hold rosponslblo for legisla tion. Beforo tho roorgnnlzatlon Henry Cabot Lodge, tho senator from Massachusetts, dollvercd an address on tho Monroo doc trine. Ho treated It from an historical standpoint, and gave an cxhaustlvo sketch of tho origin and progress of tho dispute over tho Venezuelan boundary. Although temperate in language, he took tho ground that, unloss wo insisted that Venezuela's disputo with Great Britain should bo sub mitted to friendly arbitration wo would surrender tho essence, spirit and vital prin ciple of tho Monroo doctrino, which ho con tended was as essential to tho safety and welfare of tho American as tho balanco ol power was to tho safety and welfaro of Kuropoan nations.

CHARGE OF ADULTERY PRESENTED An Inmate of the Hospital Hakes Affidavit Upon Which tho Accused la Arrested and Held Under Ball for Trial at Court. Onto again tho Schuylkill Haven alms house ilgures In a scandal. This time tho affair does not liingo upon rumor, or news paper talk, but upon a suit in which a serious chargo is mado against ono of tho officials, and ho is under bait. Tho accused otllclal Is Kdwanl Hujlios, ox Supervisor of this borough, and who was ap pointed a steward in tho hospital of tho almshouse last winter aftor tho election of Ncri Dietrich as ono of tho Directors of the Poor. Huglios was arrosted at tho almshouse Inst night upon a warrant issued by Justlco John Conrad, of Schuylkill Haven, and furnished $300 bail before Justice ltutz, of the snmo place, Wash Orme furnishing the security. The affidavit upon which tho arrost was made is sworn to by Thomas M, Murphy, a patient in tho hospital of tho institution, who alleges that Hughes committed adultery with Mary Malia, an Inmate of the placo. Murphy says ho was an eye witness to tho act and says it was committed on tho 11th of September, last. Murphy, tho informant, was a railroader and has been an inmate of tho hospital for tho past seven or eight months, receiving treatment for an injury to his hack, which was sustained while following his vocation on tho railroad. One of his brothers resides at Malianoy City. Mary Malia, tho young woman in the case, formerly resided at Jackson's. She went to tho almshouse as many of her sex havo gone before. She is now Mrs. Mary Harrow ami resides at Schuylkill Haven. Several weeks ago an Italian of tho latter placo decided to take unto himself a wife and sought one at the almshouse. Ho interviewed several of the young women who wero inmates of the 'institution and the ono who took his fancy was Mary Malia. Ho married her and they are now living together at Schuylkill Haven James Carlin, Kmi., a youug lawyer of I'ottsville, represents tho Commonwealth in the suit against Hughes. He spent several hours in town to-day hunting up evidence. A IIiuiAi.D reporter interviewed the lawyer just beforo tho latter boarded a train for I'ottsville after finishing his work here. Mr. Carlin spoke freely in regard to tho case, but wanted it distinctly understood that lie was not engaged in springing any political dodge. "This is a bona lido prosecution based upon tho positive and direct evidence of a respectable and trustworthy witness who lias no other motive other than to try and purify tho management of this institu tion for tho shelter of the most unfortu nate of unfortunates," said Mr. Carlin. "I say this in all truth and sincerity," con tinued Mr. Carlin, "and the peoplo may rely upon It that this is not a case that will be settled out of court, lot tho results or con tingencies be what they ma . I havo spent much time in examining and cross-examining the witness who swears out tho warrant, and am convinced that his story is a straightfor ward ono. More than that, I havo found in Shenandoah this morning two witnesses who corroborate the story as told by tho man who makos tho affidavit. My personal opinion is that the result of this proceeding will be a change at the alimlnmo that will inako it more lit for tho purposes in tho opinion of tlie people than it lias been considered in the past. I am interested in tho caso solely as tho representative of tho Commonwealth. Mr. Murphy, tho informant, employed mo. 1 do not know what Mr. Huglios has to say. I was not present when ho was arrosted and gave bail, nor havo 1 seen him. "Why is it so much time has elapsed between the time tho offense is alleged to havo been committed and the prosecution '!" asked tho reporter. "That is easily answered," said Mr. Carlin. "Murphy was highly indignant and im mediately after tho discovery plated the whole matter before tho Directors of tho Poor, They promised to givo it tholr atten tion, hut repeated offlirts wore made to hush the matter up. Murphy finally became dis gusted and decided to make a public charge, which lie has done." Theatrical Company Strandeil Here The All-Star Company, a theatrical troupe of lunch merit, stranded hero to-day aftor giving a performance at Sheppton last night to a poor house. Thomas Waters and wife, of town, wore members of tho company. The dull theatrical season is given as tho cause of the company's ill fortune, after a tour of nine weeks. Mr. Waters, previous to joining the company, closed a successful run of eleven weeks at lloston, and theatrical peoplo say be has few equals in his lino. Mr. Waters will probably make his appear ance beforo a Shenandoah audience in the near future. Jf tho arrangements can be mado lie will bo greeted by a largo audience. Tm-With Theiiti-i) Company.
