WASHINGTON, April 15.-'Ihe senate
to-day continued the debate on the Mon
tana election cases, and agreed TO take
a vote on them not later than 5 p. m. to-
morrow. The senate passed resolu-
ton calling on the secretary of the i'll
terror for the report of Jesse Spauldlng,
government director Of the Pacific rail-
roads as to the general management OF
the Pacific railways; also resolution
calling on the secretary OF the treasury
for information as to whether China
men permitted to pass through the
United States have failed to leave
the United States under the
terms of their admission in transit.
House bill increasing the limit OF cost
for the postoffice building and site at
Scranton, Pa, to S25O,O00 was passed.
Mr., HaWley gave notice that he would
try to call up the worlds fair bill on
Friday. The Montana election case was
then resumed and Mr.. Morgan adj
dressed the senate. After long argu-
ment tending to show that the claim
made in the majority report thai the
constitution of Montana required the
auditor to call the legislature to order
was incorrect, he referred to the recent
elections in Montana, particularly at
Butte, in Silver Bow county, in which
the Democrats were successful, as an
indication that the particular district
about which the whole controversy ex-
listed, was
Democratic in Sentiment.
He declared that if the state of Mon
tana were now seeking admission as a
state, with all that filth clinglng to her
SKIRTS" she would be kicked from the
threshold, and he insisted that no man
had the right to claim seat in the SEN
ate as a senator from Montana unless
he had certificate signed by the gov
ernor and the secretary of state. Neither
of the claimants had certificates so
signed, the Democratic claimants GER
tificateS being signed by the governor,
and the Republican claimants certitl-
Gates signed by the secretary OF state.
He thought the small attendance OF
Republican senators during the debate
might be caused by fear that their opln-
ions might be changed by argument.
He appealed to the Republican side of
the chamber to le3 the case be settled
on the principles of law and ascertain
ment of facts. 1t would not be very
long, he said, until the little cloud in
Montana would become cyclone and
tear the Republican party to fragments.
Mr. Daniels argued against the major
ity report, which he characterized as a
"padded and stuffed record. made up OF
make-weights which do not belong to
the question" Mr.. Vance interrupted
to read telegram which he said had
been received from Montana at 2 2o'clock
this morning. 1t read as follows:
For bO wiz q a
rightl
Hurrah for law and hberty-the people won
the fight!
Republican corruptionists went weeping to
their fate
For the voters placed the ban upon the men
who stole the state.
The mourners speak in whispers-there's
Grape upon the door
The &. o. p. was killed by stealing precinct
thlrty.four!
Mr.. Hoar said that, as he understood
the facts, the Democratic majority in
Butte, which year ago was 800, had
been reduced to about $50; and that at
Precinct 81 there was not sin
gle voter left. All of those apparent
voters had gone, like last years snow
bank. lie left, he said, his ''friend from
North Carolina to his comic almanac"
1.-The senator from Massachusetts de-
rives as much comfort out of small ma
ferial as any senator on this floor," said
Senator Vance. "My information is en-
tirely different. The city of Butte gave
a Republican majority last year; and
there has been a great turn over in
consequence of subsequent proceed
Ings.'" Mr.. Hoar remarked that if
Senator Vance had been in bed at 2
o'clock last night his ideas would have
been clearer this morning. Mr.. Daniel,
resuming his argument. criticized the
majority report. The action of the re-
turning board of Silver Bow county in e2-
cluding the votes at Precinct "a, and OF
the act of the territorial returning
board. he said was an open and notori-
Gus development of conspiracy, per-
meRting all the officeholders of Montana
in order to getcontrol of political power
by fraudulent practice, sharp device
and unjust methods. The whole ma
chinery of the administration of the
law in that territory, he said, had been
prostituted and debased, and tortured,
and corrupted, in order to exclude from
the legislature Democrats who would
have voted for Clark and Maginnis, who
were here asserting their right to the
title, and asking equitable Judgment
Without concluding his speech Mr.
Daniel yielded for motion to adjourn
and after an agreement that the vote on
the Montana question would be taken
at 5 p. m. tomorrow, or earlier, if the
senate should be ready, the senate al
$50 p. m. adjourned.
