sarcastieaIly remarked that il was disored-
liable TO the senator to make . request 10
debate IL. Palmer thereupon asked unani-
nous consent that the request bs acseded
to. But whom Alien, Dubois and Butler
vi0o ously obieotsd. Palmer Withdrew his
motion.
A lengthy discussion ensued between
Hill, Palmer and Dutler as to the rights Of
the majority. The galleries applsuded in
diss,eetly and the vice. president threatsnod
to have them cleared.
Butler took umbrags at deaonstration
and said: IF the friends OF the senator
from New York are gathered. here for the
| purpose of expressinR appreciation OF his
Methods, shall be very glad, Mr.. Prssi-
dent. TO invite that senator out upon some
ct oct corner where he and can have u
| out for the benefit of the masses" He
said he had not invited the senator to meet
him on the street co orner to fight, but for
the urpose of a little legitimate stamp
speaking.
Then followed another lengthy and ami
mated debate between Hill and Butler u
to their respective positions on tho rul q
question. Mr.. Hoar, ,nterrupting, snid;
''If motion 10 made to amend the rules.
and After debate. in the opinion OF the
constitutional pre- idinR Officer, LAS ca chsd
point which implied to his mind that
further discussion is intended to prevent
action. it would be in his power. and would
be his duty, to say to the senate. Shall
put this question without further debate Of
dilatoty motionsr AMI thersupon tht
direct yeas and nays shall be called. per
miyting NO man to interfere. and IL II ma
jority Of the senate said yea. it would bs
his duty to put question"
Butler said as fair a man as the vice.
president should resent making him ths
depository of power to say whom debate
should terminate. because, in his opinion,
it WAS suLve sive Of the very foundation
principles upon which the government wal
framed. Teller withdrew his motion Il
