MIR. Preston, called out tc adjourn, and
motion for tina, purpose was made ana
carried.
Il is pretty evident that Mr.. Clay coun-
ted TOO fast, when he announced the num-
Der of his adherents in the Senate as twenty
six. Appearances seem 10 indicate that he
will soon be convinced. that the power OF
appointing TO office. is moro than coun-
terpoise TO his great talents, his long 'expe-
rieuce. and his imperious will; and tha!
honorable Senator'S will more readily yield
their "favorite predictions" 10 the gonlal
influences OF Executive favor, than 10 the
blusterings of the Storm King.
In tho House. Immediately after Tie
reading oflhe Journal, 4 motion was made
to 60 into Committee of tho Whole. on
the Distribution bill, which was carried
MIR. Brown, Of Pa. ,hen took the floor, aud
spoke for upwards Of two hours III oppos'-
ton, TO the bill, and was followed by Mr..
Gilmer, Of Virginia, and MIR. Bidlack, ol
Pa, on The same side. At 3 o'clock the
Committee rose, reported progress, and
had leave 10 Sit again tomorrow. and then

WASHINGTON. July 2, 1911.
in the Senate to-day, Mr.. Pierce con-
cluded his remarks on Mr.. Buchannn's
resolution, calling for the names of those
removed from office. The Bank bill was
then taken up. aud Mr.. Choatc. the sue
cessor, and, as generally believed. the con-
fdant OF Mr.. Webster, addressed the Sem
ale in favor of Mr.. Rivcs's amendment.
aud implored with much carncslness the
friends of the administration TO adopt it,
Us the only chance of giving TO the people
at the present session this measure OF re-
lief which they so much needed. and so
anxiously desired. Mr.. Clay who during
Mr.. Choatc's remarks, was evidently much
excited, rose and with forced composarc,
inquired of Mr.. Choa,c the grounds on
which he had made so authoritative an as
sertation, that the only chance Of having 4
bank al this session depended on tho adop-
ton of the thing presented by Mr.. Rlvcs.
Mr.. Choa,c replied tina. he could not with
out violating the rules Of the Senate, nn-
swcr the question. The rule which i, was
generally supposed Mr.. Choalc ALLUDED to
is that the opinions oil the Executive on
any pending question shall not be quoted
during debate thereon. Mr.. Chonlo was
followed by Mr.. Simmons Of Rhode Island,
in very sensible speech against the
amendment. Mr.. Archer of Va followed
iu opposition to tho amendment, bu; his
speech was principally Trade against his
colleague, Mr.. Rivcs, abuses of Gen. Jack
soa and his friends aud the present Re-
publican party, winding up with fling al
the memory Of Jefferson, whose opinions
he said might be quoted on every sidc Of
the question. Mr.. Rivcs replied with
much spirit, and provoked pcals Of laugh
Ter from all sides Of the House nj his expo
sition Of the vasaries Of his whimsical col
league +; alteration Of personal charac-
ter in which question Of veraci,y was
mootcd heightened the piquancy Of the
discussion, but this was settled after the ad-
jourumeni. by the interference oflheir mu-
,ual friends.
While Mr.. Achcr, was speaking, en- al
lusion OF his brouGh, Mr.. Clay 10 his fec,
and a repetition Of the scene between him
and MIR. Choare took place, with improve
ments. Mr.. Clay had crossed from his
aud fu the dialogue between lhcm, he re-
manned standing, and with look as If he
regarded not wha, he considered The mere
puppct before him, but the master spIri, at
whose promplinss he had acted. The
Whole Senate parlook Of the excitement,
but Mr.. Preston had sufficient presence Of
al II, IN nd
they were compelled 10 take rhcr seats.
Mr.. Clay evidently regards the move
ment in the Senate as an attempt To pros
,ra,e him, and he has sufficient Of the bull
dog in his disposilic3 to resist 10 the last,
aud if ovcrpawcrcd to die game. While
this practical commentary on the text o.:
the ..union Of the Wings for The sake Of
the union was going on the republican
members acted the pa'i Of mere lockers OIL
in Vienna, The inh week Of the session
is nea, it's close. and the opinion is gaining
ground that no bank Jll will pass the pre-
scnt session.
In the House the Distribution bill was
debated. aud Mr. Pickcns, VIII" had obtain
ed the floor last evening. after Mr.. Bid
lack hau nnIsncu, now commenced an ar
Gumem, against the bill. He considered

fetal appetite for further donations from
the General Goverumet, throughout all

against the genius Of our institutions.
lie was followed BY Mr.. Winthrop Of
Mass. in favor Of the bill. aud Messrs Dean
Of Ohio, and Habersliam Of Georgia in OPP
position TO it. The latter gentleman had
not concluded when the House adjourned.
WASHINGTON, July 3. 1911.

pied the morning hour in commenting up
on memorial presented by him relative
