SENATE.


| WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--The senate
again took up the resolution offered yes
terday by Senator Chandler, censuring
Senator Call for interpolating in the rec
ord a paragraph that had not been spoken,
and saying it was unparlamentary and
personally offensive. Senator Call gave
notice to Senator Chandler that he would
srraign him before the senate and de-
mand an investigation by a committee for
making false accusation. He would
convict the senator on evidence OF his
own that he did hear and know that he
(Call) had uttered on the floor of the SEN
ate substantially the whole OF the charge
contained in the paragraph. He would
not ask the censure by the senate of Mr.
Chandler, but would leave him to the
judgment OF the country for having heard
his (CaPs) remarks and having had
neither the courage nor manhood to re-
sent them.
Senator Sherman declared that the rules
Of the senate had just been violated by
the senator from Florida in as gross
manner as he had ever witnessed. When
the United States senate came to such a
condition that cowardice could be applied
to senator, and that senators could be
charged with stating q thing falsely, it
seemed to him the senate was receding
from its dignity.
Senator Call replied that if he were not
at liberty to state that resolution was
not true, and that he can prove it, and
that the senator whenhe made the charge
knew it was not true, then he didn't
understand the rules OF the senate; but ii
in the Judgment of any senator it is inn
proper to use the language he would with
draw it,
Senator Chandler once more explained
bis resolution, and added: "Senator Call
used language about me which did not
hear. He wrote language IN the report
accusing me of all the crimes in the deca-
logue, and he has now, this morning,
charged me with being coward for not
replying to that which | did not hear and
which he afterward wrote in the record.
When the senate has decided which Ian
guage it is parliamentary to use | will
take occasion to defend myself from all
imputations."
The Blair educational bill was taken
up as unfinished business, and Senator
Coke addressed the senate in opposition
to it.
Senator Reagan obtained the floor to
speak against the bill, and the senate ad-
journed.
The committee on commerce called up
and the house passed bills extending to
San Diego and Wilmington, Cal, the
provisions OF the act relative to immediate
transportation of dutiable goods.
On motion OF Mr.. Butterworth bill
was passed authorizing the secretary of
state to appoint two suitable persons to
represent the United States at the inter
national conference in reference to the
protection OF industrial property in Mad
rid, Spain, April /. The house then in
committee of the whole resumed consid.
Grafton OF the Oklahoma bill. Mr.. Hook
er moved to strike out the first section OF
the house bill, which is a substitute for
the senate bill, fixing the boundaries so
as to include the Cherokee outlet.
After long discussion Mr.. Hooker's
motion was defeated by vote of 24l to
129, and the house adjourned.
