WASHINGTON, May 2.-The proceedings Of tho
Senate dragged more tediously than ever to-day
Mr. Farley. Of California. sure that the people
Of that State would hold the Republican party To-
sponsible for the delay in the ratification Of the
Chinese treaties Mr. Dawes recalled the fact that
Senate, Democratic by a majority Of ten, for two
months had refused to act upon these treaties while
q Republican Senate had been for tho last two
months prevented from doing by the revolutionary
conduct of the Democratic minority. Mr. Farley
and Mr.. Dawes became entanglcd in a wordy con-
troversy over this subject which continued more
than an hour.
Then Mr. Beck had something to sav about what
be called a disscnsion among Republicans which
made them afraid to go into executive session
When Mr. Beck sat down Mr.. salisbury arose, and
for an hour nyeighed against the wickedness Of the
Republican party Mr. Salisbury always appears 70
enjoy that speech, and he ought TO for nobody
else seems 10 take much interest in IL.
While the couoquy between Senators Dawes and
Farley was in progress Secretary Blaine, ac
companied by the Duke OF Sutherland and bis party,
entered the diplomatic gallery and remained few
minntes They soon left, evidently not feeling much
interest IN the proceedings Wuch WeIe taAlhs

The Senate adjourned early and there was general
impression that a Republican 'aucus would be held
Immediately afterward. Several Republican Sena-
tors said however that they had received no nOtc
| that a caucus would be held to-day.
