washington. Jan. yh.-BN the ala Oi DIN iN'-
publican Scnators-onc of whom, Mr.. Wolcott
of Colorado made the motion which brought
about the rcsult-the Aldrich closure resolution
was sent back 10 the calendar. This was
effected by the passage Of a motion of Mr.. Wocott
soon after the Senate met. 10 take mp the Ap-
portionment bill. Mr.. Dolph moved TO Law this
motion on the table but this was reiectcd'by the
close vote of "a yeas and 81 nays.
II is an undcniabr fact that Senator Aldrlch ana
his Republican colleagues were completely taken
by surprise by this action There was no cN-
pcctation on their part that any important vote
wonld he reached today, and at least one he
publican Senator who was in the city was tod
that he might safely leave the Capitol 10 attend
10 some Department business. consequently he
was not present when the decisive votes were
taken. and il was with difficulty that a pair
coud he arranged for him.
Senator Stanford Is the only Republican recorded
as absent and impaired. Ills vote for the motion TO
table Senator Wolcott'> potion TO take up the
Apportiormcnt bill would have defeated the mo-
ton, as the resulting tie would have called Ior'h
the casting vote oi the Nlcc-l'rcSident "hI'"
would without doubt have been II favor "i li'c
continued consideration Of the closure rule. The
same result would have followed the arrange
,ncnt of a pair by Senator Stanford with a Demo-
cratic Senator
