Who Killed Cock Robin

Special TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Aug, 20.-Crowds as
sembled in the senate galleries at 10
o'clock to-day expecting TO see great
political battle. Quay was moving about
with unusal activity, and the senate
chamber resembled great political con-
ventiou. Quay was bolstering up the
courage of the weakened and appeal
Ing to his friends to stand by him. Hoar
opened the discussion with a long winded
partisan and tiresome harangue. Mr..
Frye delivered a vigorous speech and dis
closed bad state of affairs IN the Re-
publican camp. The fight in which
there is the most bitterness is that among
the advocates of the election bill,
equally earnest in its support who differ
on the question of
THE CHANGE OF RULES.
He uncovered the caucus secrets with
great freedom, and the revelations made
were startling. He scored Edmunds
fearfully for sticking TO the old methods
of dong business, and said that coward
ice never won battle or even friend.
The Vermont senator retorted that cow
man, insinuating that the sort OF courage
Frye spoke of was that which assaulted
men and took their property. This was the
most dramatic and significant feature of
the discussion. The notice given by sew
eral senators that there were many yet
who wanted TO make remarks on the
subject, threatens a long struggle.
Meanwhile great effort will be made
RPTNG ARnTTT
by which date may be fixed for vote
on the election bill at the next session.
The intensity of the feeling between the
different factions does not give promise
of harmony or agreement. The dIscus-
sion after Mr.. Hoar's speech was prac-
tically an admission that the election bill
has been killed, and a dispute as to who
had done the killing. Some surprise
was manifested at Frye's speech and the
position he assumed, but he is now act
ing in accord with Blaine. The cause of
this Cancellation lies in the sudden growth
as political power of Reed. This has
forced the trIumviTate which so long
controlled politics In Maine to come to-
gether again for mutual support and
common safety, and hence Blaine, Hale
and Frye are
PULLING TOGETHER.
Blaine favors the Quay resolution or
any antics that will defeat the force bill.
He has no more faith in such measures of
political strategy now than he had when he
defeated the force bill fifteen years ago.
Then Hoar was disciple of Blaine. Now
Hoar is frightened by Lodges senatorial
prospects, which are very bright, and he
has abandoned his conservative course
for rash and bitter partisanship.
FIGHT YOUR OWN BATTLES.
The secretary of the interior has sent
the following reply in answer to Governor
Prince g request that troops be ordered
into New Mexico to prevent further out
RACES by White Caps:
1.-THE president will not interfere with
troops until it is demonstrated that the
sheriff or United States marshal, as the
case may require, is unable to preserve
the peace or to serve process because of
resistance. The civil authorities must
first act to the extent of their ability.
Instructions have been sent to the law
officers by the department of justice.
You will be supported, but you must 20
to the full length of your ability and
territorial force first.
