SENATE.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Senator In
gals (by request) introduced bill to
provide for the appointment of board
of arbitration. to examine and settle the
differences between railroad companies
and their employees. IE
Frye took the floor, and addressed
the Senate in support of the
resolution heretofore submitted by
him in relation to the fisheries.
The resolution declares il the sense
of the Senate that Congress onght not
10 provide for the appointment of a
commission in which the governments
of the United States and Great Britain
should be represented. or charged with
the consideration and fishery rights OF
the two governments on the coasts OF
the United States am British America.
He contenGed that Great Britain always
had the best of the United States in
negotiating treaties, and that this gov
eminent had never derived any benefit
from the treaty of Washington. Our
fishermen, he said, heard. with amaze
ment and Indignation, that Secretary
Bayard was making, without the inter-
position OF the Senate, a new treaty
recommending joint commission. The
fault of the Secretary was that he should
take counsel only of the enemy; that he
should not have consulted Mr.. George
Steele, president of the American Fis b.
ing Union, who was very DESTROYS of
presenting the case of the American
fishermen. II this hearing had been
granted. neither the President nor Mr..
Bayard would have fallen into the dip
lomatic traps Mr.. West set for them.
The Washington Territory admission
bill was then placed before the Senate,
the pending question being on Mr..
Eustis' proposed amendment limiting
the right of suffrage in the proposed
new State to the qualified male electors
only.
Mr.. Butler said he would vote against
the amendment.
Mr.. Beck favored the amendment and
spoke in its support.
Mr.. Teller hardly expected that the
Senator from Kentucky would have
thrown any obstacles in the way
of people becoming citizens of the
United States. If that Senator
were now in his own country. Mr..
Teller doubted very much whether be
would be "home rule"; he doubted
whether Mr.. Beck would be in SYM
patty with the struggling people of Ire
land or with the great statesman who
had just made the world ring with
noble utterances in behalf of self-gov-
eminent. Mr.. Teller characterized Mr..
Gladstone's speech as the greatest eyer
made on the subject TO which it related,
and as made by probably the greatest
man of the age. Reading one Of its
sentences which proclaimed necessity
for sympathy with the law on the part OF
the people. Mr.. Teller said, Gladstone's
words would live as long as the English
language lived. Referring to woman
suffrage. Mr.. Teller believed il would be
one of the greatest blessings 10 cIviliza-
ton.
After long debate on the merits and
dement's of female suffrage, Eustis'
amendment was rejected. Yeas ID. nays
p. The yeas were Messrs. Beck, Berry,
Coke, Eusts. Goldman, Gray, ingalls,,
