WASHINGTON, Jan 26.-In the senate to-
day tue oath was administered to Mr. Chace,
the newly elected senator from Rhode Island.
The chair laid before the senate the Gre
dentals OF J. D. Cameron, reelected sena-
tor from Pennsylvania. Filed.
The chair also laid before the senate a
memorial from the legislature of Kansas re-
monstrating against the establishment of u
cattle trail across or through that state. Re-
ferred.
Senator Plumb, from the committee on
public lands, reported substitute for the
house bill forfeting part of the lands granted
in Iowa in aid of railroad con nstruction. Seu-
ator Plumb wished i'm ediate consideration.
Senator Bayard said he hoped it would not
interfere with the consideration Of the resolu-
ton offered by himself Saturday, meaning
that relating Z the dynamite explosions in
The chair said the resolution would be laid
before the senate when the proper order Of
business was reached.
Senator Plumb's bill was then taken up but
its reading was interrupted by obj, ctions
from Senator Harris. After further morning
business Senator Bayard called up his resolu-
ton of Saturday. Bayari said be was better
satisfied at the lapse of day in asking the
senate now to adopt the resolution, because
that body had this morning had an oppor-
tunity to affirm deliberately what naturally
and instinctively prompted the expression
on the instant OF receiving the information
OF the uucivilized, cruel and barbarous at
life and with it buildings dedicated 10 the
government of the laws, in the vain hope,
possibly, to gain relief from suffering by
thus ovcrthrowing the law itself in Its very
citadel 1t seemed emiuently proper, ,Bayard
said, that the law making body OF the Amer
ican people should express its
antagonism to the spirit which,
by destroying the law, would nee 4ssarily de-
stroy all hopes Of liberty that could only exist
under the law.
Senator Rlddleberger moved ii be referred
to the committee on foreign relation.
The yeas and nays were ordered on the
question in reference, and Senator Riddle
berger addressed the senate in opposition to
the resolution. He wished for more infor-
nation on the subject. He had no sympathy
with dynamiters, but would not vote for q
resolution which might be interpreted into
an expression of sympathy with Ireland's
enemies. 1t was known here there was war
absolute between England and Ireland, as
far as an Irishman without a country could
make war.
Upon the yea aud nay vote the motion to
refer the Bayard resolution to the foreign re-
lstions committee was defeated. yeas, q;
nays, So, only Senators Riddleberger and
Van Wyck voting in the affirmative.
Senator RiddlebergeT moved that further
con side ration Of the. resolution be postponed
until next Wednesday. He declared the sen.
ate had not sufficient information upon
which 10 base an action Of this kind. The
body was asked to vote in way which
would be interpreted as In sympathy with
England and against Ireland.
Senator Hoar said the senator from Vir-
ginia seemed 10 treat the occurrence in Lon
don as Il 1t was warfare adopted by the
Irish people against England. He (Hoar)
had among his constituents many persons
OF Irish descent, intelligent, brave, manly
people. He thought be was justified in stat
ing the dontrine expressed in the resolution
was their doctrine, as it was that Of other
American people. Making war upon un-
offending women and children was as re-
pugnant TO these citizens as 10 any other peo-
pie. He saw that her msjesty's American
representative had said America had been
remiss in her duties in some respects.
America could not undertake to deal with
mere violent expressions, and IL she did those
things would be- more dangerous In their re-
preston than in their expression. He be-
lieyed the United States In the future as In
the past would perform all her duties to
other powers.
Senator Riddleberger said he has not as
sumed that the explosions were the results Of
the methods OF warfare adopted by the Irish
people. de declared again he bad not suff-
cient information, nor had any ether senator
sufficient information for the proposed ac-
ton.
Senator Gibson said he thought 1t emil
uently proper the American people Of kin
dred institutions and kindred in blood with
the British should give the expression Of
their views The people who used dynamite
put them selves on level with those who
used poison. They were sssassins aud mur-
derers.
Senator ingalls, noticed in the papers that
the feeling was most prevalent in England
up Saturday in favor Of bringing some pres
sure 10 bear upon America In tnis respect.
He would vote for the resolution, not as an
apology. not as an expression of sympathy.
but as an expression Of abhorrence for such
crimes. The explosions Of Saturday shook
the foundations Of every capital in christen-
dom, but there was something worse than
dynamite Those who denied the rights Of
man kind were taught by these occurrences
that behind them stood menacing spectre
Of vengence.
Senator Riddleberger read published re-
port Of the attack upon American citizens by
a mob in England. He said Irishmen we're
as much slaves as ever were the colUred peo-
pie 10 the south.
Senator Hawiey said the American people
had piece Of bad experience in sssassina-
tions. and on each occasion there had come
back from every nation, from every tribe Of
Solomon indignant denuneiations Of these
crimes. What good could the resolution dOi
