LeeislatuSe q Petition.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3l.-Cullom pre-
sented two resolutions Of the House of
Representatives in the Illinois I.esislAtnre.
He said that they instructed the senators
from that state to vote for the free coinage
in the resolution. He regarded these reso-
tons, and asked that they be fled in the
records Of the Senate. So ordered.
Among the bills reported from the COM
mittees and placed on the calendar. were
Senate bill to amend the Law relating to the
residence abroad of the owners Of Amer
lean vessels in the foreign trade. Senate
bill for the exploration and survey Of the
interior of Alaska.
Mr.. Blair, rising to . personal explAna.
tion said thst he had observed circu.
lating In the newspapers Of the coun-
try what purported to be = copy Of
an agreement alleged to have been
entered into by the Republican senators
with reference to the consideration Of the
force bill-so cAlled--or the elections bill,
more properly called. The names Of GER
tain senators we're given as having violated
the agreement; and the allegation Was made
that all other Republican senators had
signed the agreement without condition.
As that allegation was so broad ard 90
general ss to include himself among those
who had signed that agreement without
condition, he desired to say that he had new
er signed such an agreement, except with
the clear qualification that il should not in
terfere with his efforts for the considera
lion of the education bill.
Mr.. Teller said that he desired to say now
that the statement, pretty generally circu-
lated, that he had been in favor Of the force
bill at any time, was incorrect; that the
further statement that amendments were
made to that bill in committee whenever he
asked TO have them made was also incorrect
and that the statement that he had ever
agreed to support the bill, directly or
indirectly was incorrect.
Mr.. Edmunds gave notice of an amend
ment to the diplomatic appropriation bill to
