The Senate Episode Subject of Much
Discussion Yesterday.
By Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-There was an
exciting Senate episode towards the
close of the proceedings to day, only
part of which will appear in the official
report, and that part, without explana-
ton will not be understood except by
Senators and others who witnessed the
scene.
Just before the Senate went into
executive session the veteran Senator,
and Ex-Governor from Tennessee, Mr.. I.
G.. Harris, closed personal explana-
tiou with these words: "Under these
circumstances, Mr.. President, l used
language more vigorous, perhaps, than I
should have done, but these are the facts.
The ''facts" will appear in the report of
the Senator's remark; the Language"
will not The unreported language was
addressed to another Senator, and was
several times audibly repeated on the
floor of the Senate, that ought not in
public debate, and consisted in calling
that Senator "a d. scoundrel." Early in
the day Mr.. Harris as member of the
District of Columbia committee called
up bill for the incorporation of a dis
trict railroad company. Mr.. Sanders, of
Montana, offered an amendment which
caused the bill to 60 over in the morning
hour. Subsequently as Mr.. Harris
started to leave the Senate, Mr.. Sanders
voluntary crossed the floor to him
and said he would withdraw his
amendment and allow the bill to pass.
The biI.was therefore again called up by
Mr.. Harris by unanimous consent, but
was met by still another amendment from
Mr.. Sanders, which blocked its way, as
there was not quorum present, and the
Montana Senator demanded the ayes and
noes. Theupon Mr.. Harris, in very
pointed tones expressed his surprise, but
added 81 will not say why" he did not
say publicly hut he crossed over to where
Mr.. Sanders was seated, and shaking his
hand at him told him he was "a
scoundrel." Senator Sanders, retaining
his self command, moved away, withou
making any reply. Afterwards each tool

, the question of the encroachment on tn,
, public highways involved in his amend
y ment was one in which his constituent

felt bound to insist on yea and nay
vote upon it, believing the Senate would
