wAsHrxaroS Aug. 31.-Certain Republican
| Senators are very indignant because Senator
Hill has exceeded them in industry and actir-
| ity during the present session and secured |
| from the Committee on Judiciary favorable |
report on the bill to repeal the Federal Elec- |
| ton laws. These Republicans are sayngver |
| mean things about Mr. Hill and the judiciary
| Committee and are threatening under their
breath to do all sorts OF dreadful things The
Senate is an easy-golng. sleepy old pody' anu
| often allows the most important legislation TO
| el,p through unawares Therefore when Sem
| atnr Piatt Of Connecticut member OF the Ju-
| djciary Com mittee. arose in his place yester-
! day and announced that he did not concur In
the report presented by Mr.. Hill, and that he
did not know that It was to be made.
IL was the first intimation. apparently that
the Senate had that the Judiciary CON-
mittee had taken any action whatever
ON this or any other subject. 1t Ia
uniusty intimated that Senator lIill and his
colleagues on the committee took snap judg-
ment by reporting the bill while certain OF its
Republican members were absent. IL IN true
that Messrs Hoar and Wilson have been out OF
the city during the present week. but senators
Platt. Teller. and Mitchell. three other hepuo.
