USELESS DISCUSSION on THE POWER OF THE VICE

USELESS DISCUSSION on THE POWER OF THE VICE
PRESIDENT TO COUNT THE ELECTORAL VOTE.
IBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-In some respects the session
of the Senate to-day was remarkable. 1t was long
session, and the entire time with the exception of
the first half hour consumed in the discussion Of
the Democratic caucus resolution declaring that the
Vice President has no power to count the electoral
vote. The remarkable feature OF the proceedings
the fact that the supporters of the resolution
which included every Democratic Senator except Mr.
Whyte. of MARYLAND, did not give a single valid
reason why the resolution should pass at this
time. while the Republican Senator's many of whom
declared their intention to vote for the resolution
did not make it clear why it should not pass. Now
that the Morgan rule is disposed of, the atempt OF
to-day is simply piece of postmOrt I'm fo0llshness.
The Republicans seem to have acted merely from
force of habit being unable to withstand 50 good an
opportunity to make the majority appear ridiculous
Senator Edmunds was in his element, and
enjoyed the proceedings in his usual sub
dued way. Senator Whyte of Maryland, gave
his reasons for not supporting the resolution and
voted with the Republicans. In the final vote upon
is presumed to be III position to move Tor recon-
sderation. No other Republican voted and as
many of the Democrats were absent there was no
quorum. 1hcreupOn a call OF the Senate was made
Ihe adjournment about q O'Clock was accord
with the general proceedings. FIRST yea and nay
vote was taken and the motion was lnS;. lbore-
upon some moved to adjourn and Senator An
thOny IN the chair put the question: Three or 1our
ErpuDlicans said aye while all the Democrats gave
fT emphatic nay. THE ayes have it, said the
Chairman. and the Senate adjourned with the reso-
ably pass tomorrow, although nothing is certain III
