STEWART sCHEe.k THAT FAILED.
There was much eoafusion and much i'll
feeling in relation to pairs. Mr.. Daniel
said that he had been paired with Mr..
Squire, but as he was informed by the
Senator from Nevada Mr.. Stewart that
the Senator from California Mr.. Stanford
was in favor of proceeding with business
he would transfer Mr.. SQuire's pair TO Mr..
Stanford and would himself vote.
Mr.. Aldrich objected to the proposed
transfer and inslsted that there was no
authority for it,
Mr. Stewart admitted that he had no di-
rect authority to pair Mr., Stanford with
Senator in favor of the proposed rule, but
said that Mr. Stanford had told him before
leaving the city for New York that he was
in favor of taking up the apportionment
bill.
Mr.. Aldrich asserted, on the contrary,
that Mr. Stanford had told him distinctly
ON several occasions that he was in favor
of the pending resolution and of it's con-
sideration. and he Mr.. Aldrichl intmated
that the proposed transfer would be taking
an unfair advantage OF Mr.. Stanford's ab-
Bence.
The controversy developed some acrI-
monious feeling on both sides. but the mat
ter was settled by Mr.. Daniel saying that
he would let his pair with Mr.. Squire
stand. and that was the upshot OF it. Some
questions also arose as to the pairs of SEN
ators Shoup and Moody. but the final re-
suit was that tho pairs stood as follows:
Pierce and Brown, Plumb and Gibson, Pet
tigrew and Pasco, Squire and Daniel,
Shoup and Colquitt, Sanders and ingalls,,
Chandler and BloGgett. Moody and Hearst.
Higgins and Voorhees,. Mr. Stanford stands
as not paired.
The result was announced as, yeas. "a:
nays, 80. So the motion to lay on the table
was rejected. The announcement was
greeted with applause on the Democratic
side and in the galleries. This was resent
Chair should enforce the rules of the Sem
ate, and that if there was any repetition of
disturbance the galleries should be cleared.
The vote was then taken on Mr.. Wolcott's
motion to take MP the appOrtionment bill.
and it was carried by like vote-yeas. 35;
nays, S4 the only divergence being that
Mr. Pettlgrew's pair was transferred from
Mr.. PascO TO Mr. Call.
The resolution for the amendment of the
rules having been thus displaced and rele-
had previously been. the Senate proceeded
to consideration of the spportlonment bill.
The reading of the bill and report contin-
tinued until o'clock, and the bill was then
laid aside till tomorrow at O'Clock, when
il comes up as unfinished business.
The next question was on Mr.. Gorman's
motion to amend the journal of Tuesday
last. It was agreed to without dissent,
and the journals Of Tuesday and Wednes-
day were approved.

cipally from the Western States; also, for
and against the Torrey bankruptcy bill.
Among the pension bills reported and
placed on the calendar was one for Mrs.
Mary Ann Doherty-a bill for whose relief
was vetoed by Mr.. Cleveland two years ago,
attracting at the time much attentions: also
the House bills to pension Gen. Nathaniel
p. Banks and Gen. Franz Sigel.
The army appropriation bill was reported
and Mr.. Allison gave notice that he would
call il up this week.
