been organized in tie interest of the demo-
cratic party and especially in the interest OF
the senator from Louisiana.
Mr. Reagan took the floor and argued against
the resolution, declaring that he meant to OPP
pose all petitions for an investigation
that simply meant political agitation.
Messrs. Teller, Edmunds and Butler also
participated in the discussion, which then
drilted from outrages in tho state of Louisiana
to outrages in the state OF Texas, and in this
discussion prominent parts were taken by
Messrs. Chandler, Blair, Spooner, Reagan and
Coke. The most notable incident in IL was
the fact Of Mr.. Coke being called to order for
supplementary language against MIR. Chan
dler.
Mr.. Coke's violation OF the rules of order
consisted in his denouncng the statement that
the republican party of Texas had failed to
pat a state ticket in the field because it was
afraid OF personal consequences, as absolutely
and unquaifedly" false without a particle of
foundation made for political effect with dis
honest and unfair purpose" and he added:
at is a statement not believed by the senator
himself who makes IL.
On being called to order by Mr. Chandler,
Mr.. Coke promptly said:
"Mr President, if L have said anything de-
rogatory to the dignity of the senate take it
back, and apologize for it.
The presiding officer-Tho senator from
Texas will proceed in order.
Mr.. Coke-The senator from New Hamp-
shire (Chandler) seems to be anxious that
somebody on this side Of the chamber should
kick him. / refuse to perform the operations
Mr.. Coke was promptly called to order and
was required to take his seat, while the presid-
Ing officer ruled that his language was not war
ranted by parliamentary law.
"Thcn," said Mr.. Coke, 81 withdraw the
language and apologize to the senate for hav-
ing used it,"
An Absurd RumOr.
WASHINGTON, September 29.-[Special. J.
The Critic, all afternoon paper here, printed an
absurd rumor that Mr.. Randall is suffering
from a mental disorder that is giving his
family and friends great anxiety. The article
goes on to say that 1t is rImored that one or
more prominent members of his party in the
house have recently received letters from him,
giving directions as to certain proceedings, in
which he signed himself as speaker of the
house. evidently laboring under the halucina-
ton that he was again the presiding officer
of that body. Mr.. Barnes and
other members of the appropriations commit
tee, who have been in constant communication
with Mr., Randall, pronounced the report as a
lie made of whole cloth. They say Mr.. Ran
dali writes in his own clear and forcible style,
been 50 rapid that he has no doubt of his abili-
ty to return to his duties at the opening of the
next session. Mr.. Randall's many friends
here are quite indignant over the publication
Of this absurd story.
Senator Voorhees, has returned from quite q
lengthy visit to his home in Indiana. While
there no entered freely into the campaign. He
travelled all over the entire state, and came in
contact with all classes OF people. He said
today, in speaking Of the situation in the
hoosier state: 1.-The prospects could not be
brighter. In my tour through the state l en-
countered every class of people. The labor
ing men, as class, are opposed to Harrison
and will vote for Cleveland His prosecution
of the strikers as counselor for the railroad,
has not been forgotten. The railroad en-
ployes, as o unit, are opposed to him, and will
not only vote, bnt will work against him. The
democrats are doing good work i'll my state,
and believe Indiana is as certain to cast her
vote for the democratic ticket as Georgia."
Betting on the Result.
Considering the near approach of the cleo
ton, there has been remarkably little betting
on results. More money is proffered here on
Cleveland than can find takers. The republi-
cans seem afraid to risk their money on Harri-
son. Out at "Monte Carlo" the great pool
rooms here, odds OF 800 to $50 are offered on
Cleveland on the general result, and $1C0 to
800 that Cleveland will carry Indiana. These
offers are posted, but the Harrison men are
very slow in accepting them. All the demo-
Gratis are very confident, while the majority of
the republicans show their fears of defeat.
