senate.
In the Senate, among the bills intro
dnced and referred, was one by Mr..
Call TO provide for the erection Of a
Government warehouse and docks at
hey West, Fla, in place Of those de-
stioyed by fire. In introducing the
bill Mr. Call said the work was Of the
utmost immediate necessity, rs the re-
cent FIRE had destroyed the former
warehouse and docks, and almost the
whole city OF Key West.
MIR. Plat then took the AoOr on his
resolution relating TO open executive
sessions. The question was political
one, be said, but in no sense q question
Of party politics. II rose above all
party questions it Was the most i'm
portsnt question Of administrative re-
form 10 which the Senate could az this
time cevote its attention.
Mr.. Plati read the Senate rules re-
lstipg TO secret sessions, including the
rule which prohibits disclosure, by
either senator's or Senate officers, Of the
secrets Of the executive sessions, the
penalty for which is that senator's rem
der themselves liable TO expulsion and
officers to discharge. No senator, he
said, could bear that rule read without
q sense Of personal degradation. The
frat instance Of secrecy supposed On
senators, Mr.. Plat said, occurred in
January, 1920.
Mr. Morrill, asked whether twas not

row on the subject Of open executive

sessions.
Mr.. Logan said he desired to follow
M Butler on the same subject. -.
On motion Of Mr. Butler, House bill
was passed authorizing the Secretary Of
War to deliver 10 the lswfal owners, on
proper proof. certain classes Of pro-
perty captured ia the late war, consist
ing Of family heirlooms, silssrware,
watches, etc.
The fisheries resolution was then
placed before the Senate and Mr. Frye
resumed his speech on the subject.
A running debate followed between
Messrs. Frye, Morgan, Gray, and
George. Mr.. Frye's resolution vas
finally brought TO a vote and agreed
to-yeas. IS; nays, To- ofthe affirma-
tive votes &c were Republican and .
Democratic. The resolution declares
il to be the sense Of the Senate that
Congress should not provide for any
joint commission TO consider and settle
the fisheries question.
The interstate commerce bill was
then placed before the Senate in order
that it may have the right Of way at 2
O'Clock tomorrow.
Executive session.
Adjourned.
House of Representatives.
Mr. Turner. Of Georgia, called up as
the privileged question the Ohio con-
tested case Of Hurd rs. Romeis.
Mr.. Reagan, Of Texas, RETAINED from
antagonizing it with the interstate
commerce bill, with the understanding
that that measure should lose none Of
its rights as the special order.
II was agreed that the previous ques-
tioD-on the election case-should be
considered, as ordered after eight hours
debate.
In this case there are three reports
submitted by the Committee on Elec-
tions--a majority report confirming
the right Of the contestee, Romeis. to
the seat; a minority report unseating
he sitting member and declaring that
Hurd is entitled 10 the seat, and an
other minority report taking the ground
that neither contestant nor contestee
Was duly elected.
Mr.. Boyle. Of Pennsylvania, opened
the debate in support Of the majority
report. and quoted from the evidence to
support him in bis position that there
was not only no ground for unsestIng
Romeis, but scarcely any ground for
ceniestiDg the seat.
Mr.. Robertson. OF Kentucky. spoke
in Hurd's behalf, and asserted that in
Precinct d" Il" Of the Eighth Ward OF
Toledo not one of the statute laws oil
Ohio had been complied with. Dis
cussing the charges Of illegal voting at
this precinct, be denounced the methods
which, be said, prevailed in Ohio cleo
tions, and remarked that the tissue
ballots Of South Carolina and the bull
doing Of Louisiana must pale into in
significance when the country learned
the methods by which Ohio Republican
elections were carried.
M1. Martin. Of Alabama. and Mr..
Croxton. of Virginia, argued in favor
Of seating Mr.. Hurd, basing their con-
illusions on the ground that the charges
that intimidation and bribery had been
Iesorted to on the part Of the friends OF
Rcmeis had been sustained by the evil
dence.
After speeches by Mr.. Dorsey, Of
Nebraska, and Mr.. Vowel, Of Illinois,
in advocacy Of the right OF the con-
testee, and by Mr.. Henderson. Of North
Carolina, in favor Of the seating Of the
contestant, the House adjourned.

power OF tho veto proposed BY the bill,
Mr.. Gladstone stated that there was no
limitation to that proposition, and in
reference to income tax that would nee
essarily be ss separate IN Ireland IS 1t
would be in England. OF the bill gene
rally, be said 1t proposed to give to
the Irish people reasonable sat
isfaction CT their demands without
initiating the example set by former
Government in the case Of America.
The wants of Ireland were to be con-
sidered in relation to the fact whether
ii would be harmful to others that they
should be granted. lie ridiculed the
fear that had been expressed rs to
further demands on the part OF
Irish members If this bill were
passed; and as to the question OF
there having been no mandate
for this measure, he contended that
inasmuch as there had been no man
date for coercion or for maintaining the
law, so no mandate was necessary for
the proposal to strengthen the means of
maintaining the law. He COM
pared the criticisms on the bill,
and pointed out that no one speech
sgreed with another and speaking
OF the measure as a plan, be remarked
that il might be improved. But, at any
rate, it held the field, as also did the
subject. Loud cheers.l The bill, he
said, was produced under circumstances
of great pressure, but be contended that
the time had come when it was noces-
sary for Parliament to say whether it
would make q bold attempt to esta-
blish q system Of Irish laws under
an Irish Parliament, or whether they
should struggle on as before, leaving
England and Scotland to famine Of
needful legislation, and Ireland to a
continuance Of social disease and in
ternal discord. Loud and prolonged
cheers.
The motion that leave be given to in
troduce the bill was put by the speaker
and agreed to without division amid
protracted and enthusiastic cheering.
Mr.. Gladstone stated that the second
reading of the bill would be fixed for
the 9th Of May.

people" Irish cheers.l
Mr.. Goschen on rising was greeted
with loud cheers. He referred TO Har-
cout's speech as q melancholy reyela-
ton Of the impotence of Parliament to
deal with most important crisis.
Sir William Harcourt, he said, was
not the first Minister who suggested
certain calamities ensuing on the re-
ection OF the bill. Parliament was
icing almost terrorized to pass the
bill. They were told that there
was no power or spirit or con-
sistent policy in England to deal with the
crisis. Why should Harcourt, Morley,
and other speakers make these con-
slant references to the Irish beyond the
seas, unless they desired not TO deal
with the bill on its merits, but to ter
rorize Parliament: [Cheers.l The
Ministerial defence of the bill had been
slight. The bill had been torn into
shreds; yet there had been no defence
for it. Questions had been asked re-
gsrdipg the power Of veto, the two
orders sitting together, and finsn-
cial proposals; yet the defenders ofthe
bill had ignored these questions,
adducing the single argument that the
bill Was the sole alternative and must
be passed. They we're indeed told that
because Sc Irish members were deter
mined upon having hone-rule Il there
fore must be granted. Suppose these
sc members had gone further, and
asked for separation without any
checks, should Parliament be equal
ly bound to concede 1t? II they
accepted this doctrine, and Wales
and Scotland asked for separation.
