WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--The oath was
administered to Mr. Chase, the newlv-
elected senator from Rhode Island.
The CHAIR laid before the senate the
credentials OF j. ID. Cameron, reelected
senator from Pennsylvania. Filed.
Inc CHAIR also laid before the sem
ate memorial from the legislature of
hansns, demonstrating against the es-
through that state. Referred.
Mr.. PLUMB, from the committee on
public lands, reported a substitute for
mousse Dlil forfeiling part OF the lands
granted in Iowa in aid Of railroad con-
stfuction. The bill. was taken up, but
the reading was interrupted by an OBJ
lection from Mr.. Harris.
After further morning business,
MIR. BAYARD called up his resolution
oil Saturday, and made short speech
to-day.
Mr.. BAYARD said he was better sat
ished at the lapse Of day, in asking
the senate now TO adopt the resolution.
because this body has this morning had
an opportunity to affirm deliberately
what naturally and instinctively
prompted the expression on tho in
slant Of receiving the information of the
uncivilized, cruel and a barbarous at
tempt to destroy human life, and with
IL buildings dedicated to the qoyern-
ment and Of laws, in vain hope, possi-
bly,, to gain relief from suffering, ,by Thus
overthrowing law in its very citadel. II
seemed eminently proper, Mr.. Bayard
added, that the law-making body of the
American people should express its
opinion that such deeds would necessa-
rily destroy all hope of liborty that could
only exist under law.
Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER moved that it
be referred to the committee on foreign
relations,
The yeas and nays were ordered on
the question of reference, and Mr.. Rid
dleberger addressed the senate in oppo-
sition to the resolution. He wished Tor
more information on the subject. He
had no sympathy with the dynamiters,
but would not vote for q resolution
which might be interpreted into an ex-
preston of sympathy with Ireland's
enemies. II was known here that there
was war absolute between England and
ireland, so far the Irlshmen without q
country could make war
Upon the yons and nays vote the mo-
ton TO refer the Bayard resolution to
the foreign relations committee was de-
ieRted-yeas, 2; nays, 5b-only Senators
Riddleborger and Van Wyck voting in
the affirmative.
Mr.. RIDDLEBERGER moved that
further consideration of the resolution
be postponed until next Wednesday.
He declared that the senate had not
sufficient information upon which to
base action of this kind. The body was
asked TO vote in way which would be
Interpreted as in sympathy with Eng
land and against ireland.
Mr.. HOAR said the senator from Vir-
ginia seemed TO treat the occurrence in
London as If 1t were warfare adopted
by the Irish people against England.
He (Hoar) had among his constituents
many persons of Irish decent-an intel
ligent, brave, manly people. He thought
he was justified in stating that the doc
trine expressed in the resolution was
their doctrine, as II was that of other
American people. Making war upon
nofiending women and children was as
repugnant TO these citizens as to any
other people. He saw that her malesty's
American representative had said that
America had been remiss In her duties
in some respects. America could not
undertake TO deal with mere violent ex-
pressions, and III 1t did, those things
would be moro dangerous in their re-
pressions than in their expressions. He
believed that the United States in the
future, as in the past, would perform all
her duties TO other powers.
hir. GIBSON said he thought IL emil
nently proper that the American people
kindred in institutions and kindred in
blood with the British, should give ex-
preston TO their views. The people
who used dynamite put themselves on
level with those who used poison. They
were assassins and murdarers.

pers that feelings were prevalent In
England on Saturday in favor of bring
ing some pressure to bear upon America
in this respect. He would vote for
the resolution, not as an
opology, not as an expression OF
sym psthy, but as an expression of alb
horrenoe for such crimes. The ex-
plosions OF Saturday shook the founda-
tions OF every capitol in Christendom.
But there was something worse than
dynamite: Those who denied the
rights Of mankind were taught by these
occurrences that behind them stood the
menacing spectre of yengence.
Mr.. RlDDLEBERGERread the pub.
lishcd report of tho attack upon Ameri-
can citizens by M ID in England. He
said the lrishmen were as much slaves
as ever were the oolored people in the
south.
Mr.. HAWLEY said tho American
people had twice had experience in as
sination and one expression had come
from every nation and every tribe, of
solemn denunciation. These crimes
were worse, far worse; what good could
the resolution dor He did not know
hut IL did him good to curse the acts.
II did the world good TO denounce them.
These works were not the acts OF the
taA al txt tttU n n
dash against humanity.
