reporter, however, and stopped long enough 10 give
some impression Of his eNpe' fences.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE publication
In Philadelphia paper of a copy of an agree
ment signed on August 22d last by ma
jority of all the Republican members of the
Senate pledging themselves to vote at the
beginning of this session to take up the
Elections Bill and to keep it before the Sem
ate until it was finally disposed of, and also
to vote for cloture rule if necessary to get
vote on the Elections Bill has caused
great deal of talk among members of Con-
gress and others here, because of its furnish
ing absolute proof that at least six Repub-
lican Senators violated their word of honor
given in the form of a written pledge. The
agreement, which Teller signed in connec-
tlon with Cameron. Stewart. John p Jones
and Washburn, did not bind them to vote
for the Elections Bill. but it was in these
words: "We will vote first to take up for
consideration on the first day of the next
session the Federal Elections Bill and to
keep it before the Senate to the exclusion of
all other legislative business until it is dis
posed of by vote; second, to make such
provision as to the time and manner of TAX
ing the vote as shall be decided by a ma
lority Of Republican Senators to be neces-
sary In order to secure vote, either by a
general rule like that proposed by Hoar and
now pending before the Committee on Rules,
or by special rule of the same purport ap-
plicable only to the Elections Bill"
The point in this matter is that tha agree
ment was to secure vote Oh the Elections
Bill. and TO adopt rule to that end if
majority Of the Republican Senators so de-
decided They held caucus at Cameron's
house, and did so decide. They held another
caucus at a later date and agreed specifically
TO adopt rule in accordance with the writ
ten agreement signed last August Teller
deliberately violated that agreement, and
his explanation was a mere subterfuge.
He apparently tried to deceive the country
by statement that he was opposed 30 the
Elections Bill, but he did not deny that he
signed the agreement printed in the Phila-
delphia paper.
Senator Aidrich was asked about the po-
sition OF Stanford, concerninaE whose pair
there was some dispute at The time the
cloture rule was shelyed. Aldrich said he
believed himself to have had at that time
positive assurance from Stanford that he
would vote for the cloture rule and the
Elections Bill. He said that he wrote to the
Senator about the matter on that day, but
as he had never had any reply he now be-
llevvd that Stanford intended 10 vote with
Stewart and ether opponents of the bill
He had. therefore, given up any hope of
bringing the bill before the Sonata again at
this session.

FRENCH EXHIBITS.
Cooperation in the Worlds Fair-General
Grants Last Days.

New YORK, Feb 1T. c. Crawford in
the Tribune says: 81 asked Roustan, the
French Minister, this morning, if he thought
France would cooperate heartily in the
Chicago Exposition. He replied: There is
not the slightest doubt that the Invitation
not only will be accepted, but with the
greatest cOrdiality. There is absolutely
nothing in the talk about the contemplated
retaliation in France directed against
this country on account Of the Nc
French goods In this country have been in
creased since the new measure, and So con-
sequcntly the French merchants have no
cause for dissatisfaction. Prices have been
increased upon certain articles, but this ap-
pears to have made no difference with your
rich country
81 saw yesterday DR.. Douglass, the
physician who sacrificed his health
and practically his life through his
devotion to General Grant. He is to-
day .paralyzed in the right side, and an
invalid. His mind is as clear and strong as
ever, but physically he is helpless. The
doctor says he thinks that Grants
trouble would never have come if he
had not suffered such great men,
tai anxiety growing out of the
Ward failure. 1t put him into such con-
ditiOn that cancer was developed through
impoyerishment of his blood. He thought
that smoking had nothing more to
do with it than to locate it. Smok-
ing cigars made the roof of his mouth
sensitive, and the poison spot broke out
there. Douglass told me that he had never
been able TO find publisher who would be
willing to bring out the story of the most
interesting closing chapter in this great
mans life.p
