A GLENN OF Light.

THE FEATURES OF THE PROPOSITION AGREED
UPON BY THE SENATE COMMITTEE FOR
COUNTING THE VOTE.
NEW YORK, January ia Washington
special says: The proposition OF the Senate
Electoral Committee, which was under con-
sideration at Joint meeting Of the Senate
and House committees yesterday, provides
that the Senate shall, on the day named for
the counting OF the vote, meet With the
House in the hall of the latter body. The
ce-President shall open all certificates,
and tellers appointed for the purpose shall,
as usual, read, record, and sum up the
votes: but there are to be counted, in the
first place, only returns to which no obiec-
ton is made. Where there is one return
only from State, and that iG objected to,
the two houses will determine whether it
shall be counted, but the concurrence OF
both houses will be required to reject any
such vote.
Where two returns are made from one
State the dispute is to be referred to COM
mission or tribunal composed Of nine men,
bers of the House and Senate and the four
justices of the Supreme Court longest in
the service; the nine members OF the House
and Senate are to be selected by appoint
ment of five senators and five representa-
tives, and then dropping one OF the ten by
drawing lots. The justices who would be-
come members Of the commission by the
terms Of the proposition would be Nathan
Clifford, Of Maine; Noah: Q. Swayne, OF
Ohio: Samuel F. Miller, of Iowa, and Da-
vid Davis, Of Illinois.
This commission is to be authorized to
determine all questions OF dispute, and their
decision to be final. The disputed votes
having been counted in presence Of the
House and Senate, in accordance with the
decision of the commission, and the whole
number Of electoral votes having been
summed up by the tellers, the president OF
the Senate will announce the result In the
usual form, which will determine who is
to be President of the United States.
Justice Clifford Is Democrat; Justices
Swayne and Miller Republicans. Justice
Davis was also appointed by President Lin.
coin. He has been known for several years
as liberal Republican.
The bill has not the unanimous approval
Of the Senate committee.
II reports may be believed Senators Nor
ton and Frelinghuysen gave very reserved
and reluctant consent to the proposition.
1t has become clear, however, that no ar
rangement could be made between the two
houses which would determine positively in
advance Of the count who would be elected.
There is no middle ground OF compromise
on which the two houses can come together.
There can be no agreement, in fact, unless
the determination Of the questions in dis
pute is submitted to some fair and able tri-
bunal outside Of Congress whose action
cannot be absolutely foretold. The Senate
proposition is based on bill passed by the
Senate in the year 1900.
rive recently published full account OF
that bill.
The House committee are said to look
upon the proposition with some favor,
though prospects for final agreement cam
not be now estimated.

for Grover, who was elected under pledge to
vote for Ncsmith, and whose property'7"as
heavily mortgaged before the meeting OF the
Legislature, paid of some debts and cancelled
Ills mortgages Immediately after the ajourn-
mcnt Of the Legislatures; that be was seen to
display considerable sums Of money, and
changed so pieces frequently in Portland Just
after the Senatorial election.
WI. Miller, OF Wasco, testified that Butler,
q member Of the House from that county, who
was supposed Il, be in limited circumstances be-
fore the election, Immediately after purchased
half an interest in q steam saw-mill for <3,O00,
which occasioned surprise and rcma-Es among
bis neighbors.
The parties managing the investigation say
they arc only on tue threshold OF the testimony.
Moser, of Wasco County, Who approached e3-
Senator Ncsm;th and wanted money Tor his
vote, and afterward voted for Grover, and who
told Goodman, the Senator from Linn County,
that money could be had, and that it WIS right
to take it, Is keeping out Of the way OF the

Dlspatch 10 London Daily Ne,es.
ROME, June 15.-I give the following state
ment, very confidently made here, for what It
may be worth: The French Clcricals are im-
portuning the Pope to transfer his abode from
Rome to Francc, and it is even said that in thus
importunins him they have the support Of in
Auential political persons. There was talk of
his taking this step some weeks back, and, after
the Lyonesc pilgrims came, the request Is
believed to have been renewed with
greater urgency than ever. The Pope,
however, has been steadily dissuaded BY
his physicians from leaving the Roman climate,
There was moment, it is alleged, when he
seemed inclined to comply with this request,
and then he said to the Lyonesc pilgrims, Ill
come to Lyons you will receive mc as your M
ccstors received Innocence w." Within these
few days tile Catholic clubs Of Marseil1es aud
Lyons are reported to have again entreated him
to come to France, for the good Of the country
and the restoration OF fallen monarchy, aud at
the Vatican it Is believed he may yet bo pre-
vailed upon.

LONDON OFFICE OF The CHICAGO TRIBUNE,
SALISBURY STREET, ". c., July 7.-Follow-
ing the cue given by the Chancellor Of the
Exchequer, the Conservative papers adopt
non-committal tone regarding the recent
movement Of the fleet, and declare it does
not indicate threat towar,l Russia or to aid
Turkey, but it is no less threat Of the most
distinct kind, and is felt to be go by the
Gear.
The Spee1ato1. to-day, in arguing against
the move of the feet, curiously enough states
the very points which prove the real object
of the order. It says: "The order sending
the heet there does not strengthen the hands
of the Government in the East, for the fleet
was just AZ powerful, almost as near the
Bosphorus, and much more accessible to
emergent orders while lying off Pir1eus than
while stationed ct the Roadstead, which has
no recommendation other than that it is
Turkish"
A LAME AND 1NPorENr CONCLUSION.
New YoRK, July 7.-The Tines London
special says the Chancellor Of the Exchequer
made al ABSURD blunder in the House Of COM
mons when lie stated, in reply to question,
that tue object in ordering the British squad
ron to its present station was that Bcsika
Bay is convenient and central, and the
Admiral would be enabled more readily
to communicate from there with Layard
at Cou6tantinoplc aud with the Government
in Lon don.: This was the objection to sending
the squadron to the sucz Canal, a station which
be said is neither convenient nor central. Some
other explanation for scuding the squadron OF
seven powerful irou-clads and one frigate to
Besika Dav must be looked for. It is notorious
That the telcgruphic facilities represented by
the Chancellor to be- SO necessary are far better
ut tho station previously occupied byi it,

SALISBURY STREET, W. c., July IA dis

TIE SITUATION AS SEEN BY 4 CORRESPOND
To the Wtstern associated Press.
LONDON, July 1.-THE military situation now
appears to be as follows: The Turks have changed
front aud faced to the westward since the Rus
siaus' entrance into Bulgaria. The Russians
are deployinG, Will, their left flank resting on
the Danube, to face the Turkish line from
Rustchuk to Shunlla- When this movement is
completed d general battle may be expected,
unless the Turks fail back to the Balkans, or
the Russians mask the whole quadrilateral and
turn it by passing the Balkans. The Russian
forces coming through tile Dobrudscha are up
proaching the rear OF the Turkish Rustcl,uk
and Sl,amla line. This column is too strong to
be opposed by any force detached from the
Turkish main body, while the main body itself
cannot turn upon it without exposing its rear
to the Russian main force. This is the situa-
tiou, as the correspondent writes. IIc seems
entirely to ignore the existence OF Silistra, Var
M, and Kustendji, aud the latest information
fixes earrisons at these places respectively at
$4,000, 10000 aud 10000, which, operating on
the flank or rear Of the Russian Dobrudscba
force, would paralyze its efforts to cooperate
with the army in Central bulgaria Besides the
earrisons OF these fortified places, Su1eiman
Pasha's army, which is now stated te be en-
barking at Antiyari, could be landed at Varna,
which would make the number OF Turks on the
Russian flank alone ovcr $1,000. The Russian
Dobrudscha corps is stated to number only 30,-

have doubts whether partisan malice can drive

There is little doubt, however, that the position

The fn:t tclcgraphcd last night, that the

that tho vote was party vote, and George F.
Hoar, member of the Electoral Commission

assumption that the Packard Legislature

WAS the legally constituted Legislature of Louis
lana, anu that it did not, and does not, matter
what has become Of that Legislature since th:st
time.
The Republican managers will place them
selves upon Hoar's position,-that it is enough
for the Senate to know that the then LeSisi1-
