SENATE.

WASHINGTON, March &c, 1916.
SENATE.
MFR. Chalmers presented the credentials OIL
Hon. Thomas F. Rusk, the new Senator from
the new State of Texas.
After the dispotal of very little morning
business,
Mr.. Allen REQUIRED to his remarks of day
before Yesterday in reference to fixing period
when the Senate will come to a vote upon the
Oregon resolutions. Mr.. A. wished to have
an understanding that the debate shall be
closed tomorrow week.
Messrs. J. NJ Clayton, flanagan and Niles
sustained this informal proposition, while
Messrs Woodbridge and Jarnagn opposed 1t
so far as it was designed to be arbitrary; and
the subject was passed over without any vote.
The resolution of Mr.. J. NJ. Clayton-call-
iRg upon the President to communicate the
correspondence between this country and q.
Britain on the Oregon subject which had taken
place since the last which was published, or so
much thereof as was not incompatible with
the public Understanding up for considera-
ton,
Mr.. Allen hoped it might be suffered to lie
for day or two.
Mr.. j. NJ Clayton said it had already been
lying for two or three weeks, and now he wish
cd it passed
Upon this, an animated discussion occurred
between Messrs. Allen, Clayton, Crittenden
and Morehead, the former asserting that the
resolution had bad moral effect, as implying
a dis;rust of the President, and the three last
named gentlemen urged its passage, and claim
cd it as a right that the Senate should be as
fully informed, before voting upon the question
before them, as was practicable. Before any
question was taken on the resolution, Mr.. Al
len moved to lay it on the table.
Mr.. Phelps moved the special order, and
Mr.. Miller addressed the Senate at some
length in a sensible speech in favor of speedy
settlement by compromise of the Oregon ques-
ton. When he got through on motion by
Mr. Allen, the Senate passed into executive
session.
