Arguments by Eustis and Vest Against the

Arguments by Eustis and Vest Against the
Elections Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-In the Senate
this morning. as soon as the Journal of yes
terday was read, German moved 10 correct
it by striking out the words stating that
Aldrich's motion yesterday, to proceed to
the consideration of the resolution as to the
closure, was determined in the affirmative.
He asserted that the ballot occurred and
the result of the vote was never announced.
He read from the record to sustain his posi-
tion, and expressed his belief the Senate
would not permit a journal to stand which
declares falsehood.
Aldrich was willing to concede that the
Vice-President had not declared the motion
carried, and had no objection to motion to
amend the journal.
The Vicp-President said that from his
own recollection lie did not formally declare
the vote as carried, though he stated that
the ayes appeared to have it, and he would
therefore again submit the question.
After long discussion EustiS took the
floor and spoke against the Elections Bill.
lie said IL aimed at Southern communities
aud Southern States. Ii was intended to
revive, reorganiZe and rehabilitate the Re-
publican party in the South: 1t was in
tended as Il second reconstruction measure,
and it deserved defeat.
EustiS referred to the Boston riot against
the execution of the fugitive slave law, and
said that never in any Southern State had
there been such an exhibition of fierce, de-
termined and relentless opposition to Fed
eral law as that in Massachusetts, and that
riot he said, was headed by the first and
leading citizens of Boston, and in the face
of that record the Senator from Massa-
chusetts was constantly arraigning and
condemning Southern communities and
Southern States.
Hoar replied to what he termed diatribe
and philippe Of the Senator from Louisiana
and through it the most extraordinary spec
tacle of colossal assurance he had ever wit
messed. General Sheridan, when in COM
mand OF the Department of the South, de-
clared that more men had been murdered
in the State of Louisiana for their political
opinions than had fallen ON both sides DUR
ing The Mexican War. 1t was a State whose
annals are known by its terrible and bloody
history.
Carlisle addressed himself directly to the
question OF the proceedings of yesterday
and the motion to correct the journal.
Vest gave as a Justification of his address
ing the Senate now the fact that the shadow
of the closure rule rested on all that the
Senators might do and say now. He went
on to give a review of the Senate at the time
that the closure rule was proposed and

New YORK, Jan. 21.-Two officers OF the
Guatemalan Army are now in New York
City, purchasing quantities of arms and am
munition, and third representative of the
Guatemalan Government is here buying
horses for the cavalry and field artillery
service.
The officers mission appears to more than
threaten that the peace so recently estab-
lished between Guatemala and Salvador is
being broken.
1t is practically promise of war, and al
ready the preparations of the Government
of Guatemala have been a cepted by those
aware of them as a warning that with the
opening of spring hostilities will begin.
A letter received here, dated December

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-It is not ey-
pected at Washington that the action taken
by the Canadian Attorney-General on
the Behring Sea case in the Supreme
Court will cut any figure in the
diplomatic consideration of the question
1t is not probable that Blaine will give any
new instructions to Lincoln beyond those
conveyed to him at Washington during his
recent visit. These Instructions were based
upon the argument outlined in Blaine's
asst letter The State Department will
wait for Salisbury's reply to this letter be-
fore making any further suggestions. If
the English authorities do not feel compe-
tent TO deal with the case as presented by
the State Department, and will agree
to make up q case for the Su-
preme Court, and will arrange to
be bound by their decision, then there could
be no serious objection to having the Su-
preme Court act as the board of arbitration,
but where the English authorities come in
simply to seek to obtain something to be
used for the purpose of embarrassing a
diplomatic solution of the case, the court
will not for one moment lend itself to such
a proceeding. AT least this is the view in
Administration circles, and this is the view
which is sustained by the best legal talent

tr0duced into both Houses Iectifying the
error, but as yet they have not been passed.
Carter spoke quite earnestly on this subject.
The small countries" said Carter, "are
the most jealous of all in the matter of
treaties, for these are their chief protection
and safeguard. If the United States breaks
faith with us in this matter, where, then,
may we look. The Supreme Court holds, of
course, that the laws of Congress are the
highest in the land and overrule all treaties.
AS result of this. the defect in the final
copy of the Tariff Bill renders null and void
the existing treaty with Hawaii. This has
been the cause of great worry to the Hawaii
ans. not so much on account OF its effect up
on the commercial relations as because it
seems as though twere using them in bad
faith and were a breach OF international
comfy.
LAST OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION.
Both Houses favor an act remedying the
defect in the bill, but as yet rothing has
been done, notwiths tanding the fact that the
Presldent has called the attention of Con-
gress TO the propriety OF such action, there
seems to be general idea that this act es-
tablishes entirely new relations with Hawaii,
instead of simply restoring, as it does, the
old ones that were affected by the defect in
this matter," said Carter, "undoubt-
edly clouded the last days of King Kala-
kaua. The last official Communication from
him was telegram from San Francisco last
Friday, just before the final stupor over
came him. In this telegram he informed me
that his health was but Indifferent since his
return from the south. He then went on to
urge that ] use my influence to have that
clause restored to its place in the Mckinley
bill, and told me to ask Blaine to use his
best effort in getting what, in reality. every
one wanted. but what has as yet not been
