Washington, Special. April 4.-Thc atl-
journment of the senate is liable to oc-
cur the first or middle of next week.
Senator Mandcrson. on the part of the
Republicans, offered the Democrats Il
compromise regarding the election of
senate officers to the effect that no change
should be made until congress met in
regular session. This will probably be
accepted. as there is nothing else for the
Democrats to do. There may be IL quo
rum OF the senate ir town, hut there
would be no quorum if II vote were
called. For this reason the seating of
the senators appointed hy governors will
probably 20 over as we'll as the rcorgnni-
zation of the senate and the investigation
OF Senator Roach of North Dakota. AS
soon as the president notifies the senate
make adjournment will probably follow.
Senator Gurmun, the leader of the Der =
Gratis, practically admitted that to-d..y.

Election of Senator's.

Washington, April At appears from
resolution introduced in the senate to-day
as II the debate on the subject of election Of
senators by IL direct vote of the people was
to be renewed mt this extra session of the
senate. MIR. Hour introduced II resolution
lhtasohisiic TO that proposition, and gave
notice that as soon as convenient after to-
morrow he would address the senate on the
resolution. Til. resolution asserts that 1t
is iErXlrdicnt that the resolution sent to
the senate by the house during the last coll
sreSs should b" adopted, Tor such II method
OF election would essentially change the
character of the senate as conceived by the
convention that framed the constitution and
the people WHO adopted il. 1t would the
resolution continues. transfer the selection
of senators from the legislatures entrusted
with all legislative powers of the states, to
bodies having no other responsibilities,
whose election cannot be regulated by
law, whose members vote by proxy, whose
tenure of Office is for II single day, whose
votes and proceedings are not recorded,
and who act under no personal responsible
ity. 1t requires the substitution of plural.
tiles for majortics. transfers the seat OF
political power In great states now distrib
uted evenly over their territory. TO the
great cities and masses of population, Gre
ates new temptations TO fraud. and will give
rise to numerous election contests; VIII nb-
solve the larger states from the constitution
III obligation which secures equal representa-
tion of all states In TIL" senate by providing
that no state shall be deprived OF that
equality without It's consent. Such Il method
implies what the whole current of our his
tory shows to be mntrnc-thnt the senate has
during the past century failed to meet the
Just expectations Of the people. and that the
state legislatures have proved themselves
unfit to be the repositories of the power Of
electing senators. The reasons which re-
quirc this change. If acted upon and car
rlrd to their logical result. will lead to the
election by the direct popular vote, and by
popular najorities. of the president and OF
the judiciary. and will compel the placing
control 1t will result in the overthrow Of
the whole scheme of the senate. and, in the
end. of :le whole scheme of the national
