SENATE.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-At the hour of
assembling, Acting Secretary Francis Il.
Schober read note from the president
pro tem,, Davis, as follows: "As shall be
absent from the opening of the session this
morning, under provisions of rule the
Hon. John j. ingalls,, senator from the
state of Kansas, will perform the duties of
the officie until adjournment today
Mr.. Vest made point that the presi-
dent pro TEN. had not the power to dele
gate a senator to take his place. which, un-
der the circumstances could only be filled
by an election OF the senate.
Mr.. Horr suggested that Mr.. ingalls, be
declared presiding officer for the day, as he
desired to avoid protracted discussion at
this time, when his own opinion was that
the action OF the president OF the senate In
| designating member to take his place was
| not more binding upon the chamber than
would the designation by that officer OF a
ruling by himself upon a parliamentary
question.
A long, and at times, an animated dis
cussion ensued, participated in by nearly
every senator present. In the course Of
which several motions to adjourn were OF.
fered. Finally Mr.. Sherman, after an al.
lusion to the apparent indisposition OF the
senate to commit itself by positive action
on the important question which had been
offered, moved an adjournment, which was
agreed to unanimously.
The senate accordingly adjourned until
Monday.

who were to decide the case. IL had been

the charge to be false.
Atherton.-"Very well; will show you

Then he quoted from the Washington Re-
publican to the effect that the green hackers
had been steadfast and true to the republi.

done to the law.
