HOUSE AND SENATE WORK
CONTESTED ELECTION CASE
CONSIDERED.
There are Some Very Elementary
Truths stated For the BENEFIT
of SenatOrs-ApprOp

WASHINGTON, March 2.-ln the senate
today the Idaho election case was taken
up and Mr.. George stated the reasons
which would control his own action in
casting his vote for the contestant. The
question, he said, was very interesting
one and its decision was Of great mo-
meat, not only to the state of Idaho, but
to the whole country. There was no
room in the case for personal prejudices
or for the consideration of party advan-
tages, either now or in the future.
The senate's sol: duty and its sworn
obligation was to consider the question
impartially without being swayed by
any consideration whatever except a
desire to do right. The action of the
senate should he purely judicial. 1t was
the business of the senate, on this ques-
ton, not to make law, but to ascertain
the law and facts and to decide i'll accord
ance with them.
In the house, Mr.. O'Neill, Of Missouri
from the committee on interstate and
| foreign commerce, reported the senate
bill to fix the compensation OF keepers
and crews of life saving stations.
The house then went into committed o
the whole, Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee
in the chair, on the District of Columbia
appropriation bill, and Dockerv, OF Mis-
souri, in charge of the measure, made
brief explanation as to the reductions o
the appropriations proposed.
