IL AG46AOA
WASHINGTON, March 19.-Curtain, Chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
reported, as q privileged question, the fol-
lowing resolutions
Resolved, That the resolutions refer
ring to the death of DR.. Edward Lasker,
adopted by this House January 8 last,
we're intended as q tribute of respect to
the memory of an eminent statesman, who
had died within the United States, and as
an expression of sympathy with the Ger
man people, for whom he lad been an
honorable representative.
Resolved, That this House, having no
| official concern with the relations between
| the executive and the legislative branches
of the German Government, does not
| deem it requisite to its dignity to criticise
the manner of the reception of those reso-
| lutions or the circumstances which pre-
| vented their reaching their destination
| after they had been communicated through
| the proper channels to Germany.
Curtain Immediately demanded the pre-
| vious question. The House had made
apologies enough for having been insulted.
Cox of New York moved to lay the
whole matter on the table; that was the
only way to treat the German Chancellor.
The lotion was lost by 8 to 20. The pre-
vious question having been ordered,
Ochiltree rose to debate the resolution.
He yielded to no gentleman in his esteem
for and confidence in the distinguished
members of the Foreign Affairs Commit
tee, and ordinarily was disposed to rely on
their judgment; but this affair had gone
beyond the domain of red tape, and the
circumlocution it had assumed was a
phase which called IN each and every
Representative to look to it to see that his
individual honor and dignity we're pre-
served, and in 30 doing. to defend the dig
nifty of the people. 1t was not becoming
the dignity of this body to enter into ex-
plantations as to the meaning OF the orig
inal resolutions.

PROVIDENCE, March 19.-The Democratic

a motion to declare Corliss the nominee

Election o Delegates.
PHILADELPHIA, March 19.-At the pri-
mary election Of the Republican party last
night for delegates to the State Conven-
ton. brought out a fuller vote than usual.
A glance over the field leaves the impress :
sion that the element Of the party repre-
sented by ex-Secretary Quay, popularity
supposed to be in the interest Of the Ma
tional Administration. has been defeated,
and the element of which men like Leeds,
| Chairman Of the City Committee, is
headed, and said to be favorable to Blaine,
has been successful in a majority OF the
representatives of the districts. The re-
| suit of the convention work this morning
confirms this idea.
