South Willie Asking Favors.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Many congress
men are commenting upon the action Of the
several southern legislatures in declining
to take steps t1 participate in the Worlds
fair pending the consideration Of the cleo
tions bill. Senator Cnllom, Of Illinois,
said he did not believe the proceedings
would have any effect on the senators fav-
orably disposed toward the bill. Represen-
tative Butterworth, of Ohio, said the ques-
tion was grave one, and if ten or a. dozen
states should decline to participate in the
fair its success might be joepardized. He
hoped the fair would be out of politics.
Representative Chandler, of Mafsl-
chusetts, chairman of the Worlds Fair
committee. said he did not think the senti-
ment OF the people was fairly represented
III the proposed action.
Representative Taylor, of Illinois, be-
lieves the fair will be success even il all
the southern states decline to participate.
he does rot think the action of the
Bcushefns legislatnt sa will irhnence any
votes on the elections bill. Senator Beyry,
of Arkansas, said he had not ATTEMPTED to
influence the Arkansas legislature in the
matter, but fully endorsed it's proceedings
Arkansas proposed to make liberal appro-
priation for an exhibit, but il the elections
bill became a law the business of the state
would be impaired and the flow of inmi-
grafton and capital stopped.

WASHINGTON, Jan. A.-The senate met at
IL o'clock in continuation of Thursdays
session. 1t showed that with but forty-tive
senators in attendance there was exactly "a
quorum. Stewart took the floor to address
the senate on the cloture resolution, bu:
yielded to motion by Frye for an exocu-
tive session on the assurance that il would
not occupy more than five or ten minutes.
Tho legislative session was resumed
at l145 o'clock, when Stewart offered
the apendment which he had given
notice Of on Thursday last. 1t con-
tains three propositions. the first being
to strike out of the proposed rule the words

amendments, If any of them are pending,
and upon the measure N its successive
stages, according to the rule of the senate.

first proposition. provides that "the order

Stewart then argued against the rule and
the elections bill. The principle of the lat

prejudicial to human liberty than secession |
itself, because secession would have still re-
tanned local governments. He went on to |
argue Mt length against the constitutional

all rules, and without taking the floor from |
some senator entitled TO ii. Those who op-
