There was much confusion and much
i'll feeling in relation to pairs. Mr..
Daniel said that he had been paired
with Mr.. Squire, but as he was in
formed by Senator from Nevada (Mr.
Stewart) that the Senator from Cali
foTnia (Mr. Stanford) was in favor of
proceeding with business he would
transfer Mr.. Squire's pair to Mr.. Stan
ford and would himself vote.
Mr.. Aldrich objected to the proposed
transfer and insisted that there was no
authority for it.
Mr.. Stewart admitted that he had no
authority to pair Mr.. Stanford with a
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 distinct
IL on several occasions that he was in
favor Of the pending resolution, and he
(Mr. Aldrich) intimated that the pro-
posed transfer would be taking an I'M
Iair advantage of Mr.. Stanford's ab-
sence.
controversy developed some acri-
nonious feeling on both sides, but the
matter was settled by Mr.. Daniel say
Ing that if there was any doubt or dis
pute about it he would let his pair with
Mr. Squire stand, and that was the up
shot of It
Some question also arose as to the
pairs of Messrs. Shoup and Moody, but
the final result was that the pairs stood
as follows: Pierce and Brown, Plumb
and Gibson, Pettigrew and Pasco, Squire
and Daniel, Shoup and Colquitt, San
ders and Ingalls,, Chandler and Blodgett,
Moody and Hearst and Higgins and
Voorhees,. Mr.. Stanford stands as not
paired
The result was announced as, yeas
81, nays S5.- So the motion to lay on the
table was rejected. The announcement
was greeted with applause on the Dem
ocratic side and In the galleries. This
was resented by Mr.. Edmunds, who in
sisted that the chair should enforce the
rules of the Senate and that if there
was any repetition of disturbance the
galleries should be cleared.
The vote was then taken on Mr.. VOL
colts motion to take up the apportion-
ment bill and it was carried by like
vOte-ysss 35, nays "a. The only di-
Tergence being that Mr.. Pettigrew's
pair was transferred from Mr.. Pasco to
Mr.. Call
Unemployed German Workmen.
