SENATORS TALKING.

1MWeulaLeIN alLtl tue uQuEu1l was Iedu
in the Senate this morning, Mr.. Dolph,
(Rep., Oregon rose TO correct 10, on
the ground that 10 was Inaccurate in
failing TO recite the presence OF Sena-
tors Allen and Kyle on Sundry roll calls,
they having been present in the Senate
and failed 70 vote.
Mr.. Dolph said it had become appar-
ent that II Senators could talk indehn-
itely aud read from books and papers
without limit, aud II the Senate was not
90 amend its rules or 20 put a different
construction upon them, that the Sea-
ate must drift down the current of end
less talk without nplishing any re-
suit. He believed no could say that
tweDty.six Republican Senators not
only favored the repeal OF the silver
purchasing clause of the sherman act,
but would be willing 10 vote TO amend
the rules so the majority in the Senate
could limit debate.
Mr.. D0lpb regarded as ridiculous and
farcical the procedure in the Senate
when a Senator suggested tho absence
OF quorum and then upon the roll call
refused 70 answer TO bis name. He was
getting very tired Of that sort OF thing
and thought IL was time the Senate
shOnld have little backbone.
Mr.. Harris (Dem., TennesSee) re-
GREETED that Mr.. Dh was tired, but
~ be were, the best remedy was 10 sit
down and rest. Laughter. il would
be a relief 20 him and a relief TO the
Senate. Laughter The Journal, be
said, recited the proceedings accurately
and the ScOlding administered by the
Senator from Oregon was not merited.
Mr.. Faulkner (Dem., West Virginia),
when the resolution was offered by Mr..
DOlph, that the names OF Messrs. Allen
and Kyle be recorded, said that there
was no power 20 count q Senator as
present, and justified his decision In
ruling the resolution out Of order.
Mr.. Hill, Dem, New York;, said he
had never shared in the belief that in
the belief that IN the absence of rules
the speaker Of the House had not the
right TO tell the truth aud to make the
journal refuse TO tell q lie; shat the
speaker had not the right 70 exercise
his ewn senses, md when 8 member
sat right in front Of him and did not
vote, 20 have the journal show the fact
Of his presence.
Mr.. Gray Dem, D5laWare) inquired
the rule there was any other method Of
Escertaining presence OF Senators than
BY their response 20 the roll call.
Eyes, " replied Mr.. Hill, emphatically.
"Of course the Senator from Delaware
will admit that the strict letter OF the
rule carried out TO It's legitimate con-
cluSiOn, involves an absurdity. l be-
lieve," continued Mr.. Hill, "that the
presiding officer OF this body has q per-
feet right under the rules upon q roll
call, either upon his own suggestion or
that Of any Senator, to first ask a Sen
atOr who is in his seat TO vote. IL the
Senator refuses 20 vote, then 1 believe
the presiding officer has the right TO
direct the clerk to enter upon the Jour
nal that the Senator was present and
declined 20 vote.
The Vice President ruled that moth
ing was in order az this stage except
what pertalned 20 the approval Of the
Journal, and that therefore the resOlu-
ton Of Mr. Dolph was not in order. Dir.
Dolph then moved that the name OF
Mr.. Allen be entered 10 connection with
the roll call had a. $50 o. N. yesterday.
Mr. DOlph said he seiecJed Mr.. Allen
as his name appeared in the record at
the time Of TIE roll call when he took
part In the~cOlloQuv.
Mr.. Morgan Dem, Alabama said
he was not surprised that the Senator
from New York (Mr. HID had cham
pionea the rulings Of the Speaker OF
t'dOuse because he was the unfOrtu-
instrument when he presided over
> Senate OF New York, in the intro
lc&on of that heresy, not only in the
I'D Democratic party and its tradition,
but also into the constitutional rights
of legislative bodies. Mr.. Morgan
" called ii heresy because TO his mind OBJ
viOusly the majority Of a legislative
body could take care Of itself
''Does the majority here take care Of
ftself?" asked Mr.. WaShburn.
II will inform the SENATOR replied
Mr.. Morgan, "that he himself has some
times been in the majority, referring
10 the anti-option bill, when he was
not able 10 take care Of himself
II have always been able 10 take care
OF myself in this body aud elsewhere"
bald Mr.. Washburn, sharply.
Il have not seen 10 so worked out In
ahe measures the Senator has adYo-
Gated, " declared Mr.. Morgan.
The Senate passed that bill by a
handsome majority, but 10 failed in the
House for the want Of a two-thirds ma
jority," said Mr.. Washburn.
Mr.. Morgan went on 20 speak or the
alliance and coalition between certain
Democratic senators and certain kepuo-
lcan senators as certain 70 disrupt the
Democratic party, and he asked wheth-
or his Democratic colleagues were will
iug 10 strike that fatal blow. The CO.
Riyion ia the Senate was reated in de-
tense OF the national banks and for the
uurposs of destroying silver money.
I'll wish 20 say tor myself, 'tEat that
IS untrue said Mr.. Gray. Dem., Del
eWare.
"If the Senator from Delaware" said
Mr.. Morgan, wants 20 make a personal
aUDlication of the remark have not
aDplied 90 h.m I cannot help it.
SIr. Morgan, in the course OF his
sDeech. said he proposed TO otter an
amendment 90 the bin TO strike out all
after the enactiug clause and insert
section repeating the whole ana not q
mart OF the sherman law.
Mr.. Washburn thought over Tor some
time the declaration OF Mr.. Morgan as
10 a coalition, and after My. Morgan
had left the subject asked him what he
meant by It,
II mean an agreement" said Mr..
Morgan. 'betWeen the Democrats and
Republicans who favor the pending OIL
atit shall not be amended in any par
tirnlsr whatever. That's the iirst prop
osltion. Is that right?n
$50 on" urged Mr. Washoarn'
