WASHINGTON, Sept. 27,-In the senate
today the resolution offered yesterday
by Dubois, Rep, OF Idaho to postpone
legislation respecting the federal cleo
tions laws, finance and tariff until JAM
uary 25, 1894. because Of the vacancies
in the senatorial representation OF Mon
tana, Washington and Wyoming, was
taken up. Dubois addressed the senate
in advocacy of its adoption. He detailed
the importance of the question involved
in the interest of these but partially
represented states in the legislation en-
gaging the attention of congress. He
had no doubt if the resolution was
adopted the governors OF those states
would lay aside every consideration than
that of duty to their states, and that
full quota Of senators would be present
when congress resumed consideration Of
the matters referred to in the resolu-
ton.
Washburn (Rep.), Minnesota, in
quired whether there was any more
prospect OF the election OF senators from
those states, il the resolution was adopt
ed. than now.
Dubois had not shadow OF doubt
that the legislatures would be assembled
and elect senators if these matters were
postponed. The people of those states
firmly believed the senate intended to
rob them of part of their representation,
then pass these laws before they could
send senators TO the senate. He repud-
iok hot hrrt los, r.
those states.
Mitchell Rep of Oregon regarded the
proposition, as the senator sfrom Idaho,
one of the most remarkable ever pre-
sented to the senate, and for this reasorl,
Notwithstanding his great sympathy
with the three states who for the time
being were depr we'd OF full representa-
tion, he would oppose the resolution to
the bitter end. 1t was a proposition
that could not be maintained fora eoli-
tary moment. The governors Of those
states had taken no steps to secure full
representation for their states, and yet
the senate was aeked to postpone inn
portant legislation to Accommodate the
convenience of those states.
Chandler (Rep.) OF New Hampshire
said the course to pursue was to post
pone the resolution until legitimate
action on the repeal bill was discussed.
Wolcott (Rep.) of Colorado said, al
though the resolution would be of no
practical benefit, its introduction was q
source of qualification, because it was
notice to the people of Washington,
Montana and Wyoming that their inter-
ests were not forgotten. The opponents
of repeal knew that tho Democratic side
of the senate did not favor the cloture;
on the Republican side, outside OF the
silver senators, there were many senators
who did not favor the cloture. We are
meeting them fairly as men now, and
endeavoring to see this question pre-
eented fairly before the country. We
are not without definite information that
certain arrangement has been sought
to be contaminated between certain sen-
ators upon this side and certain senators
on the other eide OF the chamber that it
was initiated by a eenator who lie sup
posed TO be the steerer OF go many Dam
ocratic senators as have left their
party and it's platform and linked
themselves with the fortune of their
executive, and led on this side OF the
chamber by dominent apostle OF pro-
tectlon--the two senators, supposed to
belong on opposite sides Of rhe cham
Der, Duti who seem now to be sitti u
very close together, referring to Ak--
rich (Rep. of Rhode leland, occupying
seat directly in front of German Dem }
of Maryland.
"We understand" continued VOL
colt, that we are to be met with the
demand that the senate shall meet ct
II in the morning and sit until mid
night. Any ouch attempt to harrass
this body will be futile"
Allen OF Nebraska, debating the reso-
luton. referred to the groat distress in
New Yark city, when Hill (Dem of
New York suggested that the wieest
and easiest way to relieve the dietrsls
would be to repeal the Sherman act
German said he understood perfectly
that the resolution OF Dueois wac one Of
q eeres introduced for the purpose of
consuming the two morning hours. The
silver senators were doing more 10 be-
little the senate iii the eyes OF the peo-
pie of the country than anything that
ever before occurred.
Coming to the reference to himself,
Gormsn said he did not believe the een-
ator from Colorado would stand upon
the statement made, ''for | take it he
alluded to myself and the senator irotn
Rhode Islanu."
''OAiOtt w oo AAiOhty Oh hto itOe. fv6
have been advised" eaid he, that
there has besn consultation
OF senators going on for somc
days; that the senator from
Rhode leland has been marehaling the
forces of the friends OF repeal on this
eide, and that the senator from Mary
land has been marshalling the members
on that side who favor repeal with q
view to agreeing upon some further
more rigorous measures which shall
compel the senate TO sit longer hours
in order, il possible, by that method TO
force vote. ahall be very glad If /
am misiniormed."
" | have been member OF this body
12 years." said Gorman, land this :s
the first instance in that time that
have ever known a senator, through
himself or his agents, to Listen at COM
mittee room doors or from information
