WASHINGTON, Sept. Representative
Kennedy's arraignment Of Senator Quay
and the the rest OF the Senate republicans
did not appear in the Congressional Record
this morning. Mr.. Kennedy withheld 1t
for revision ia the conventional phrase. In
asmuch rs it was in manuscript, and pre-
pared, as be says, with unusual care, 10 was
really withheld until Mr.. Kennedy could see
what Senator Quay would do about it.
Senator Quay has done nothing about it,
except TO get the Pennsylvania republicans
In the House, who are very penitent because
they had all gone home to dinner, and 50
were not present to interrupt the audacious
Kennedy last evening, to try to keep it out
of the Congressional Record. Senator
Quay has not a word to say about the
charges against him. 80 prominently pre-
sented by Mr.. Kennedy, nor does he say
anything about resigning from either the
Senate or the Craftsmanship of the republi-
can committee.
STILL SILENT.
He will not talk. About all that he has
said on the subject has been in condemna~
tion Of Mr.. Kennedy. He became more in
dignant the more he thought about it. and
when he first got TO the Senate actually
started no to pour out his wrath against
Mr.. Kennedy, but before the President pro
tenn, Mr.. Ingalls,, saw him he was pulled
down by Mr.. Cameron. who advised him to
keep quiet. Other republican senator's gave
him One same advice, and be accordingly
announced that for the present, at least, he
would treat Mr.. Kennedy's attack with
silent contempt In public. Privately, he
said, it was a cowardly, malicious and
utterly unparliamentary attack, which the
House ought to punish. The necessity Of
meeting the issue proposed by Mr.. Kennedy
seemed to be shut out OF his mind by his
personal resentment
HOW HE SPENT THE DAY.
He spent most of the day in the cloak
room, looking worried and nervous. From
time TO time Mr.. Mccormick, acting as the
representative Of the Pen sylvania reputli-
cans in the House. would come over to confer
with him. he assured Senator Quay that
the House would handle the matter 80 that
the senator would not have 30 do anything
about it. Senator Quay urged that first of
all IL be kept out OF the Record so that ID
by the democrats under their franks. The
Pennsylvania republicans and the acting
speaker. Julius Cesar Burrows, who did
not have backbone enough 30 stop Mr.. Ken
nedy as Speaker Reed would have done,
and now pleads that there was no precedent
for so doing, spent this afternoon In trying
TO carry out Senator Quay's wishes.
WON'T APPEAR TODAY.
They got Mr.. Kennedy to promise that
ha MI n Do f, -.
row mornings Congressional Record, and
then discussed for hours how to keep 1t out
altogether. Representatives Burrows Nc
Cormick, O'Neill Brosius and Dalzell also,
strange to say, who denounce the attack as
strongly as Senator Quay, got together in
the republican cloak room aud talked for
an hour steadily on the subject, calling in
Mr.. Cannon incidentally to pass upon the
question Of parliamentary taste involved.
They came to the conclusion that a great
breach of parliamentary courtesy and GUS
tom had been committed, but they did not
reach a conclusion as TO how they were TO
remedy it. The speech being in manuscript
the House stenographers took no notes of It,,
80 the House has nothing in its possession
that it can amend.
CAN DO NOTHING TILL 1T APPEARS.
Indeed until the speech appears in tho
Record 1t Is doubtful whether any official
notice can be taken of II by either house and
il it ever appears in the Record there is no
way of suppressng 10. Several resolutions
have been drafted by the Pennsylvania re-
publicans 10 prevent the publication of the
disagreeable portion. bat even If any Of
these could be adopted it would probably
could think Of as eff ective was to get Mr..
Kennedy privately to suppress it. This
Mr.. Kennedy positively refused to do. 81

ALL THE SENATORS STIRRED UP.
Naturally the Senate republicans are
greatly stirred up by the general attack Of
Mr.. Kennedy. They would not mind so
much the attack on Senator Quay, but they
do object to being included in the same
condemnation with him. Unless the House
does something they may record the protest
of the Senate. All representatives recognize
the fact that this is the worst blow the party
has received this session, and realizing the
disastrous consequences Of keeping Senator
Quay where he is as the master and leader
of the party in congress, they must now
stand by him, but they do it in fear aud
trembling for the party. 1--WE seem to be
swimming In scandals, said one republican
senator to-day. 81 do not wonder that
Vermont almost went democratic, and
shall wonder IL Pennsylvania goes repub-
lican.n
A RESOLUTION PREPARED.
The Pennsylvania republicans late this
afternoon prepared a resolution instructing
the public printer to refrain from publish
ing tho speech in the Record, as 1t consti-
tuted breach OF decorum and of the rules
OF the House. The resolution was entrusted
to Mr. Dalzell for presentation 10 the House,
but before that could be done Mr.. Burrows,
who is speaker pro tenn, was consulted BY
his advice representations were made TO Mr..
Kennedy, which induced him to withhold
his speech from the printer for few days,
and consequently the resolution was like
wise withheld.
