MeAfee and Carson G. Archibald, say that they will
,aho no part In any primary long the roll Of
Republican voters remains as It is. They demand a
new enrolment, and may send a protest to the state
convention against admitting the Gibbs delegation.

Washington May : (speciaD.-There were confer
ences to-day the floor Of the senate on the question
whether the Senate should take notice OF the I'M
parliamentary language used by Senator VOORHEES, last
Tuesday, and It was generally conceded that reso-
luton ought to be passed directing the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, Rules, to examine The
Record determine what parts Of the debate were con-
rary the rules Of order and to report what action
II any, ought to be taken by the Senate. Such reso
luton prepared to be offered by Senator Hawley,
but presentation delayed by the suggestion
Ing from Democratic Senators that perhaps action
might be initiated by Senator voorhees, which would
make any formal action by the Senate unnecessary
