THE REPUBLICANS DEFEATED IN
THEIR INFAMOUS SCHEME.

THEIR INFAMOUS SCHEME.
The Denoerats Will, the Aid or Six Re-
publican Senators Lay side the Closure
Rule-The New Received With wild
Cheers in the House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The Senate
met at noon in continuation Of the leg
i.latvc day of Thursday last. the pend
ing question being the resultion to
amend the rules by providing method
for closing debate.
Morgan resumed the floor auu con-
tinued his argument he began Saturday
in opposition to the proposed rule and
to the election bill, both Of which meas
ure he claimed Con the authority of the
New York Times) to be for the advance
ment of Harrison's project for re- cleo
ton.
Al 20 Wolcott asked Morgan to
Weld the floor to him 80 that he might
move to take up the apportionment bill.
Morgan said that he would do so
although he was at very interesting
poin. in his speech which he trusted he
would never have the opportunity 10
resume.
Wolcott then made that motion and
Dolph moved 10 lay it on the table.
The point Of order against the latter
motion was made on the Democratic
side, but the presiding officer overruled
it and held that the motion was in order.
The vote was proceeded with amid
great excitement and there was much
confusion and some i'll feeling in rela-
ton to the pairs.
Daniel said that he had been paired
with Squire. but as he was Informed by
the Senator from Nevada (Stewart) that
the Senator from California (Stantord)
was in favor of proceeding with the
business he would transfer Squire's pair
to Stamford and would himself vote.
Aldrich objected to the proposed
transfer and insisted that there was no
authority for it.
Stewart admitted that he had no direct
authority to PAIR Stamford with the Sen
ator in favor of the proposed rule, but
said that Stanford told him before leav-
inc the citv for New York that he was
in favor Of taking up the .apportonment
bill.
Aldrlch asserted, on the contrary, that
Stanford had told him distinctly en sew
sral occasions that he was in favor Of
the pending resolution and Of its con-
s.deration, and he (Aldrich) lntimated
that the proposed transfer would be
taking an unfair advantage of Standiord's
absence.
The controversy developed some acri-
monious feeling on both sides. but the
matter was settled by Daniel saying that
if there was any doubt or dispute about
it he would let his pair with Sqeire stand
and that was the upshot oft.
Some question also arose as to the
pairs of Shoup and Moody but the final
result was that the pairs stood as fol-
lows: Pierce and Grown, Plumb and
Gibson, Pettigrew and Pasco, Squire and
Daniel, Shoup and Colquitt, Sanders and
Ingalls,, Chandler and Blodgett, Moody
and Hearst, Higgins and VOORHEES,.
Stamford stands as absent and not
paired.
The result was announced as: Yeas
81. nays 35. 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 resented by
Edmunds, who insisted that the chair
should enforce the rules Of the Senate,
and that if there was any repetition of
the disturbance the galleries should be
cleared.
The following is the vote in detail:
Yeas-Aldrch. Allen, Allison. Blair,
Carey, Casey, Culiem, Davis, Dawes,
Dixon, Dolph, Edmuuds, Evarts, Far

The vote was then taken on Wolcott's
motion to take up the apportienment
bill and it WAS carried by like vote
yeas 50, nays 34-the only divergence
being that PettIgrew's pair MAS trans
ferred from Pasco to Call.
There was no distinct outbreak of
applause at the final success OF the
movement against the election bill and
the proposed rule, but the feeling OF
jubiation was no less great on the
Democratic side; and Blair interposed
the remark that when a man was down
that was the time to get up, and 80 now
this was the time to take up and pass
the education bill. Cries Of ''Order''
from the Democratic side.
The resolution for the amendment of
the rules having been thus displaced and
relegated to the calendar Gas the cleo sion
bill had previously been) the Senate pro-
ceedsd to the consideration CT the appor-
tionment bill.
The reading of the bill and the report
continued till 3 O'Clock and the bill was
then laid aside till tomorrow at = 2o'clock
when it comes up as unfinished business.
The Good News In the House.
When the vote was taken n the Sen
ate the House was taking vote on the
same question, and the Clerk had called
but a few names when Mansur aud
Heard, returning from the Senate side,
spoke a few words to their Democratic
colleagues, whersupon Rogers rose, and
interrupting the call, informed the House
that the force bill had been defeated.
Then the Democrats gave cheer aflcr
