DByard, who set tha precedent for the new series
Of speeches, spose for six hours His speech
was unprecedented, and for the most part e1-
tampore. It WIS curious political mosaic, and
gave evidence OF culture and great physical en-
duianco- It Was tho same old Democratic
s1ory. The ghost OF imperialism WAS sum-
moned- Bayard believed the time has
cono when Republicans consider the success OF

1nent. The speech WAS dcsul.ory review OF
the Louisiana case The resolution vas charao-
terized as proposition to continue military
pzo.eetorate~
xere defeated, but the Democratic refused to tx
anr time next week when the vote shal be
taken.
THE xAGER or rHSBIcAL BATTLE
Was accepted. At o'clock. session until Sun
day morning seemed probable.
The Democrats at o'clock protested that they
intend to make no factions opposition, and
wished an adjournment until Monday The Re
publicane doubted and refused. At s o'clock the
Democrats broke their faith, and resorted to fill

erats very nearly let themselves into h trap
which would have forced an immediate vots on
the resolution.

ate order. Francis Keruan. OF New York, also
spoEe for the first time He advanced 10 new
theories Of the Louisiana question He spoke
With remarkable ease for new Senator, and will
eyidsntlv take commanding place IN his party.
Tho danger OF the nepublcans is their very
small majority. They have not more than five,
on account OF absentees. Some Of these are
fee.le and may not be able to endure the
fatiEuos Of the physicist contest.
EATON, or CONNECTICUT.
