WASHINGTON, April 11.-By the mar
rowest kind of miss the Montana case
was to-day prevented from reaching o
vote. Mr.. Hoar called for a vote on the
resolution declaring Clark and MaRfnnis
not elected, and the roll call was about TO
20 on when i'm came Mr.. Evarts to make
his speech. That stopped the call and as
long as any senator wants to talk on the
subject he has only to stay In the chamber
and ask for time. The courtesy OF that
body will insure him q hearing. During
the last day or two, interest In the case
has been increased, and more attention is
now being given to the matter in the pa
pers. Evarts speech was expressive In
manner, but totally unintelligible. The
reporter for the senate had to take a seat
close to him and then had great difficulty
i'm catching his sentences correctly. II
was melancholy exhibition Of the great
mans physical decay. Mr.. George spoke
effectively for Clark and Maginnis. Mr..
Hoar gave notice that he should ask the
senate to set the case on Monday.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE con sidera-
ton of the Montana election case was
resumed, and as no senator sought the

being taken when Evarts suggested that
IL no senator on the other side desired to
speak he would make the closing argu'
ment i'm support OF the committee's re-
port.
Morgan said that after hearing the sena.
tor from New York he might feel himself
required to say something.
Evarts then proceeded to state in detail
the facts and circumstances OF the Mon
tana election, and to discuss the powers
of the territorial canvassing boards, on
which he said "there were no Limitations
imposed by the statute in words" BY
that means, he said, "its powers are
unlimited within the sense that belong to
the phrase TO which il was applied"
After a long discussion on the duties
and doings of the county and territorial
canvassers, i'm the course OF which he
criticized the governor Of the state fol
placing Janitor A. Cerburus at the door oi
the court house assembly to adj
init only such persons as wert
| the occasion jndge OF who were
and who not elected as representatives
| Evarts said the proposition on the demo
cratic side was that the senate was to be 2
canvassing board higher than the terri
toria NE s xhls sas sss that
senate had no such power OF revision
The latter, he said, was the proposition o.
the constitution for the safety Of thu
senate and of the equality of states.
Gray defended the governor OF Montanf
| from criticism made on account of his in
structions to the janitor and asserted tina
the only direction given the janitor was {
letter OF instructions that he should admi
