WASHINGTON, October lin the senate
this evening, after the reading of the journal,
Edmunds,replying to question Of the
highest privilege, moved that the oath of Of
flee be administered to Nelson w. Aldrich,
senator-elect from Rhode Island. There
being no objection, the motion was agreed
to and Aldrich was sworn in. Edmunds
then made similar motion in the cases of
the senators-elect from New York. Nc
Pherson interposed and stated that he
desired to present petition pending that
motion. He had in his hands communi-
cation from certain members of the
New York legislature alleging certain
reasons why Messrs. Lapham and
Miller were not entitled to
to seats in the senate. With regard to
those allegations he knew nothing he did
not present the petition with any desire to
delay action on their admission. He Of
fered the petition, and would refer it at the
proper time to the appropriate commit
tee. Edmunds said that as the petition
as referred properly to the swearing in of
the new senator's from New York, he would
not object to its reception at the present
time. The petition was received and laid
upon the table, and the oath of office ad-
ministered the senators from New York
and Connecticut. A committee consisting
of Pendleton and Anthony was
appointed by the presiding
officer to wait on the president and inform
him that the senate was ready to receive
any communication he might be pleased to
