SENATE.

WAsHlN ION, March 30.-ln the
senate to-day he bill to increase the
efficiency OF the army came up, and
Mr.. Logan continued his remarks in its
support. He argued to show the ne
cessity Of an increase and said that to
imply any motive but proper one for
this bill, was unworthy of debate. The
time would come when people would
approve the attempt now made to give
efficiency to the army.
Mr.. Teller believed he (Mr. Logan
had commenced this debate with the
assertion that there was combination
OF Senators here-at least that was the
way it was reported-there was comblna-
ton OF Senators to defeat this bill. He
CMr. Logan insinuated at least in his
speech that opposition came because the
Senator had reported the bill.
Logan SAID he would repeat what he
had said, for the Senator from Colorado
had INSTRUCTED him What he (Mr
IOgan) had said, was that the Senator
rom Col, Mr.. Teller had received en-
engagement from other Senators; that
was the language he had used and that
was the way it w3s reported, but he did
not know the Senator from Colorado
had taken it to himself for he did not
know that it fit him.
Mr. Teller said he understood the
Senator (Mr. Logan) to say, and that
was the way it went to the country. OF
course that was the fault of the press,
that there was outside opposition. He
understood it did not refer to him (Mr.
Teller or any member of this
body, but referred to a gentleman
whom il was, perhaps, not worth while
to mention.
Mr.. Logan said if there was anything
on earth which would induce him to
believe that there was a desire on the
part Of some gentlemen in this Senate
to cause bad feeling between persons, it
was the very remark that the Senator
had made now. He (Mr. Logan) had
said no Word-uttered no wOrd-in ref
eTence to.any man outside this cha mber,
nor did he insinuate what the senator
(Mr Teller said, and that the Senator
ought TO know 1t and attempt to have 1t
90 to the country, that he (Mr. Logan
was attacking any man outside the
Senate orln il, was an unworthy Sena-
tor.
AIr. Teller did not know what the
Senator had said. He knew what was
on record.
Mr.. Logan remarked that it was not
on record.
Mr. Teller thought there had been an
undue feeling OF complaint as to oppo-
sitiOn TO the senator from Illinois,. He
read from Mr.. Logan's speech, in the
Congressional Record, the following
My friend frem Maine, who is absent
and, therefore, I will not refer to him
don hflpsE god nv tho
opposition of other Senators to make
war on this bill from the start"
Mr.. Logan asked if there was any
thing there about any outside man.
Mr. Teller said that was the way
il was in the Record. He (Mr. TellerI
was only speaking of the imperfection
Of human hearing, when he said he had
underwood the Senator from Illinois
differently 1t was not the fault of the
Senator from Illinois, of course, but OF
himself { Mr.. Teller) The Senator from
Illinois had stated that some news
papers had said this was a war on
certain Senator, which Mr.. Teller pre-
sumed was so, because of certain sup
posed aspirations of a certain Senator.
Mr.. Logan denied having made such
statement. His remark, he said, was
that some newspapers had said that this
Dlu WAS not lOI tlc DuIpOSe VI 1udhiHS
the army efficient, but for other reasons
that had been suggested by Senators. |
The debate on the army bill then
closed. and Mr. Plat addressed the
Senate on the Washington Territory bill,
which he characterized as an enabling
act. He gave the statistics of popula-
ton and resources of the Territory, and
asserted that on this showing twas en-
titled 10 admission as a state. Mr..
Platt would not discuss matters that
had occurred there in regard to the
Chinese. Whatever had been done the
people had dealt with 1t themselves and
they were as well qualified 70 deal with
matters affecting themselves and to be
a state as the people of California, Ore
gon and other states having similar
questions to deal with.
Mr.. Voorhees, introduced bill for
the admission of the Territory OF Mon !
tana in place of the bill originally intro
duced by him. I he bill now introduced, /
Mr.. Voorhees, said, was an enabling act I
while the first bill provided for an inn
mediate admission of the Territory.
After executive session the Sen ate !
adjourned. -,
