In course Of debate on the resolution
relating to the Sioux City and Pacific
Railroad, McDougall, Of Cal, charged
Conness with having personal interest in
the matter, and with discussing It without
regard to common interest.
Conness (excitedly) pronounced what
McDougall had said false.
A long collOquy ensued between Nc
Dougall and Conness, in which highly ex-
citing words were used. McDougall was
several times called to order.
Conness said: Senator McDougall
does not represent California, either polis.
ically or morally. He wal enfranchised
by that State five years ago, since when he
has not returned to see his constituents.
I have sat in my place when the Senator,
so far from representing that heightened
constituency was rather lying in his chair,
an object Of pity, before an audience here
from every State Of the Union. I have
covered my eyes more than once before
this spectacle. I was biding time when
McDougall, BY termination Of his career,

troversy-he rises and commits this last
offense.

would be better to discontinue discussion
of this kind.
McDougall said he would DO more re-
spectful in his language than his colleague,
whom he would not speak Of as a sober,
but as a superb Conness. McDougall
proceeded to illustrate by an anecdote, In
which the phrase Cd d-n s-n Of
b-h occurring, Vice President Foster
checked him and the colloquy ended.
