SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Mr.. Teller Makes a Personal Attack on
Mr.. Van Wyck.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-In the Sem
ate to-day, Mr.. Hawley, rising to ques-
tion OF privilege, called attention to the
omission from the Congressional Record
of some of the remarks made by Mr.. Van
Wyck yesterday derogatOry to members
of the South American Commission, which
omissions he said rendered the subse-
quent remarks of other Senators some
what unmeaning.
Mr.. Van Wyck explained that he had
stricken out soma parts of his remarks,
after consultation with Senator Vest, as
matter of kindly feeling, and not because
he thought ne was wrong in his asser-
tions.
A very lively debate ensued, during
which Mr. Van Wyck introduced formal
resolution directing the official reporter to
repubIish the proceedings of yesterday.
Mr.. Teller made spirited defense Of
his administration, which was inciden-
tally assailed yesterday by the Senator
from Nebraska. He had decided not to
pay any attention to the remarks of yes
terday, since tie Senator had told him
tfat he would strike them from the Record,
but now that the Senator reiterated them
re said that the Secretary of the Interior
vas required to execute the law, rot to
listen to demagogues. The Secretary of
the Interior had been fortified in the ac-
tion which was criticised by the opinions
of the Attorney Generals, who were as
much superior in acquaintance with the
law or morals to the Senator from Ne
braska as it was possible for one man to
be superior to another.
Mr.. Van Wyck's resolution was
adopted.
Mr.. Frye reported resolution from the
Committee on Rules directing that COM
mittee to prepare an official seal for the
over.
The Senate at 2:40 O'Clock went into
executive session. At 3 O'Clock the doors
were reopened, and the Senate adjourned
until 10 O'Clock Monday morning.

fer the appointment Of a special commit
tee of five Senators to inquire and report
not later than the second Monday of next

with the understanding that 1t should not

be necessary for his health. If he does
not improve after breathing the perfume

mander Of the French forces in Cochin

In Paris reports that China has made
Overtures for peace are discredted. Ire
negotiations, direct or Indirect, have, it is
said, been opened, and there are no symp-
toms that the government at Pekin is in
timidated or anxious to secure peace on
any terms unfavOrable to China. The
members Of the Chinese Embassy in Lon
don express themselves as hopeful for a
cessation of the war, but they say
that it should be brought about
by France accepting territorial
concessions formerly made by China in
TOnquin without any indemnity. From
China direcS come reports that the army
of the Empire has been reinforced, and
has been put in readiness to resume Offen-
siye operations in TOnquin. At he Lung
the French remain practically in a state
of seige. The war in TOnquin and For
mOsa, members of the Embassy say, has
not perceptibly affected the internal pros
perity of the Chinese Empire, although
the Treasury Of the Imperial Government,
il is admitted, needs funds.
