il W. UTZIfiGEl,
Washington, Feb. 20. The session of
the senate was devoid of special Inter
est. Daniels concluded his "speech on
the Hawaiian question, and while sup
porting warmly the course that, had
been followed by tho administration,
declarjd that now there was nothing to
do but recognize the new government
and wish it God -speed.-
After Daniels' speech, the bill for ad
ditional Drintlnsr ofllce facilities was
taken up and discussed In a desultory
manner the remainder of the day. Mr.
Voorhees presented a petition signed by
4,000 citizens of Massachusetts In favor
of the passage of the new tariff bill, j
and Indicating that Buen legislation j
would be beneficial to Massachusetts' 1
industries. . 1
Hoa rcalled attention to the faet that (
this petition was really a petition for'
protection. In reply to an Inquiry from
Hoar as to the names of some' of the..
petitioners, Voorhees said: "I see one
petition names John M. Forbes, William
Lloyd Garrison, Stetson Endicott and
other names familiar In the history of
the commonwealth."
A resolution Was offered to amend the
rules to provide that executive sessions
Tho governor addressed them from the
sOate house.- He waa received with ap
plause, though he made no promises. An
attempt was then made by the leader to
get a petition before the- legislature,
then in session. A largo force of police
was called out to guard against -any
trouble. . .
The leaders tried to get Into the legis
lative hall to present their grievances,
while the crowd remained outside.- M.
' D. Swift, an anarchist and spokesman
of the mob, appeared at the -balcony
and announced that the legislature re
fused to accept the petition. The crowd
broke into yells of derision and con
tempt. ' Then Swift launched into a
tirade- of abuse of the legislature. His
1 threat to clean out Uho state house re-J
eelved shouts of approbation. A large
number of policemen soon gathered on
I the scene. Swift was forced to stop his
"talk and matters quieted down:
! The petition to tho legislature, after
I reciting the troubles, asked the state
, to commence operations upon the pro
posed Cape Cod canal, to establish' the
commission mentioned, and to provide
for Btate farms and factories.
