WASHINGTON, April 15.-In the Senate
Senator PIstt spoke at length on the pro-
posed investigation of the record of SEN
afor Roach, of North Dakota, arguing
the right of the Senate to make the inves-
tigation. It was tho plain duty of the
Senate to do so. On an agreement that a
yea and nay vote be taken on the Roach
matter before adjournment a resolution
was passed for the appointment of COM
mittee to wait on the president and in
form him that the Senate was ready to
adjourn. Harris and Sherman were ap-
pointed.
The committee to wait on the president
reported that the president said he had no
further communication to make to the
Senate.
After further speeches on the Roach
matter Senator Lodge offered resolution
directing the secretary of state to inform
the Senate by whose authority the Ameri-
can flag had been hauled down from the
government building at Honolulu.
On demand of Mr.. German the resolution
was laid over under the rules.
Senator Butler moved to amend by adj
ding the words land by whose authority
the same was hoisted on said build
ing
Mr.. Chandler, rising to a question of
personal privilege, said he had not dis
tinctly understood yesterday whether the
senator from Indiana Mr.. Voorhees,
had said he Knight have heard, -
or he chad heard'' certain state
nlents concerning his action as sec
rotary of the navy. Mr.. Chandler said
he thought he kept pretty good track of
the various attacks made on him from
time to time both personal and official.
L
that ship built under his administration
was detective. The ships were the Chica-
go, Boston, Atlanta and Dolphin, and
these ships he thought were very much
Rfloat at this day. Contracts for those
ships were made with John Roaci and it
could not be to him the senator alluded as
one o. those who retired "rich, contented
and infamous"
Mir. VOORHEES, explained that his re-
marks yesterday were intended as an illus
tration of the position taken by the sena
tor from New Hampshire and other
senators on that side. The language
which he used in reference to Mr.. Chand-
Ter he had heard by others, and not at g
very remote period from the present time.
Mr.. Hansbrough also rose to question
of personal privilege, and began by ex-
pressing the hope that the Senate would
not adjourn without giving his colleague
(Alr. Roach the opportunity asked for
by him yesterday. Objection was made
by several Democratic senator's, and the
Senate proceeded to the consideration of
executive business.
At 500 the doors were reopened, and
resolution was a. reed to rendering the
thanks of the Sena- to the vice president
who presided over the Senate during the
present extraordinary session. A motion
TO adjourn sine die was then made by Mr..
Hill, and agreed to without discussion.
The vice-presldent said before an
nouncing the vote just taken: ''I beg to
uniform courtesy shown me by members
and officers of this body during the ses-
sion now closing. For the resolution per-
Eonal to myself and kindly adopted by the
Senate am profoundly grateful. In ac-
cordance with the vote just taken l now
declare the extraordinary session of the
Senate adjourned without day.
