SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.

NEWPORT, June This morning the
enate recognized the house by announc-
ing the passage Of the plurality election
resolution. and DIR. Garvin in the house
Immediately moved its passage in con-
currence.
The Democratic leaders were In con-
sultation this morning over the present
condition OF the battle. They say that
they were in n desperate position and
were trying to device some means OF
placing the party within the pale of the
law which 1t outraged last Tuesday.
Their feelings may be judged when
1t is stated that they actually proposed
to rescind everything done and to reor-
ganize under the original roll call. They
claim that il this is done the senate will
have no excuse for refusing to meet in
grand committee.
Those who suggest this course have
very long heads. aud are not bothered
about its inconsistency. They see that
il by any means the senate can be forced
into meeting the house in grand com
mittee they will elect their whole state
ticket beyond any question or doubt.
Would Elect the Whole Ticket
In such q case both Senator Watson
and Representative Barbor would vote
with the Democrats aud the Republi-
cans would have no show whatever.
There isn't any room to doubt this. Mr..
Barber has supported the Democrats on
every matter put to vote and this morn
ing Watson voted with them aud again st
the Republicans
For some reason or other Colonel
Honey does not favor resembling the
action already taken. This may be be
cause he does not wish to admit that his
tactics were wrong or revolutionary,
for the Colonel Is we'll known
to entertain the greatest confidence
in his own infallibility.
There is growing impression in GER
tain quarters, however, that there is
something deeper than this in the atti-
tude Of the the colonel. and it is being
whispered about among the Democrats
that he is not at heart In favor or seating
Baker. This Is given as the explanation
of his failure to take advantage of Mr..
Barber's detection from the Republican
ranks on Tuesday when he, and only he,
was aware of the Exeter mans senti-
ments.

The senate convened at 1920 o'clock,
