WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 25-There was
warm political DEBATE in the house Friday
over the Norfolk navy-yard resolutions,
The Republicans ceased to delay proceed
lngs after time and the previous question
was ordered, and then Boutelle Of Maine
took the floor and recounted what was
alleged had been done at the navy yard
such as the erasure of inscriptions perpetu
ating the achievements of the Union forces
and the discharge Of union veterans for the
benefit of ex -Confederates. He called atten-
ton TO the numerous monuments erected In
the south to the memory of the chiefs of the
rebellion, and said that Il conciliation was
the order of the day it should not be so one
sided.
Wise answered Boutelle He first de-
elared that the acts complained of at Nor
folk navy yarl had never been committed !;
the dock which was said TO have been de-
stroyed by the rebels the rmoval of tablet
from which was one of the items in Bou-
telle's resolution had never been destroyed,
and no Union veteran had been displaced by
an ex-Confederaie He wanted to know
why no complaint had been made when Re
publican administrations had given Office to
such men es Longstreet and Mosby, and
closed with a reference to Charles Sumner s
appeal for Cancellation and the words of
Gen Grant m the same subject
The resolution was adopted as amended,
and the house took recess. An evening ses-
sion was held and about twenty pelsion bills

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 25-After Chairma::
Kennedy had made his statement in the
state senate Friday and it was sent to the
committee on privileges and elections that
committee made report asking further
authority to make the investigation, and
the minority of the committee made report
that the committee I've relieved from further
consi ieration of the contest cases and that
the matter be brought back to the senate.
Great excitement engued the Democrats
refused to vote and the chair declared the
minority report adopted While motions
and appeals were being made the lieutenant
governor put a motion and declared recess
The state of Ohio now has two senates

the absence of Lieutenant Governor Ken
nelly, president pro tenn. ONeill took the
chair. Twenty senators then answered to
their names, and motion to adjourn until
Monday was carried When the body meets
again there will probably be a conflict of
authority between Kennedy and the minor
officers, as he will undoubtedly order the
absentees to be brought in.
The feeling is growing intense and yio-
lence is feared. The Republicans are busy
arranging on some programme which will
restore order, but nothing las been put in
definite shape. Both sides are caucusing
and talk of supreme court interference to
test the right of O'Neill taking
kennedy's seat is mentioned. In short,
both sides are at sea, but de
terninei to make 10 concessions The
question hinges on whether the four Demo
cratic sslators from Cincinnati shall be
allowed to vote on their own cases. Ken
nedy refuses to permit them to do So giving
the Republicans a majority, while the rules
adop.ed by the Democrats at the beginning
OF the session allow the four senators to vote
on their cases
The Republican members of the senate
met at l0a III. Saturday, with all the Demo-

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. IS There has
been a great deal published of late respect
ing the attitude of the president in regard
to furnishing the senate with reasons for
removing federal officeholders, but the exact
facts in the case appear to have been exag-
gerated The United Press has the very
best authority for tho following statsment:
The president has received no communica-
tion or request from the senate for any pa
pers touching appointments Or suspensions,
and has made no announcement or stated to
any one what he viii do if such request is
made He has had no talk with
any Republican senator concerning
the matter and has in no manner
Requests for reasons for suspensions and ap-
pointments have been made by some of the
committees of the senate through their
chairmen and clerks, of the cabinet officers,
and they have responded with papers show
ing the fitness of the appointee and with the
statement that as yet they have not been
directed to furnish the presidents reasons
for his act of suspension.
In the case of Armstrong, the suspended
internal revenue collector at Utica, n Y,
the answer was substantially that the re-
moval was made for the good of the public
service and in the exercise OF the discretion
vested in him, the president No other
reasons have been given Wnen the presi-
dent is asked for reasons for his acts, he will
answer and until thea all announcements
