W~AsHIHoroS, Sept. 81. - 10 the
Senate tie resolution offered yester-
day by Dubois (Rtp.) Of Idaho, 10
postpone Legislation respecting fed
eral election laws, finance md tariff
until January 18th, because OF the
vacancies in the Senatorial rcpresen.
ta,ion OF Washington, Montana and
Wyoming, was taken up.
Dubois addressed the Senate in Gd-
vocacy Of its adoption. lie detailed
the importance OF the question in.
volvsd and the interest OF these but
partially represented States in tho
legislation engaging the attention OF
Congress. He had no doubt IL the
resolution ans adoI ted the Governors
OF these States would lay Gsiio every
other consideration than that OF the
duty 10 their States, ard that a full
quota OF Senators would be present
when Congress resumed the consider.
alton Of the matters referred 20 in the
resolution.
washburn (Rsp) Of Minnesota in.
CURED whether there Tas any more
prospect OF tho election Of Senators
from these States if THO resolution
was adopted than thoTc is now.
Dubois had not a shadow o. doubt
that the legislatures would 10 assem-
biod and Senators elected il these
matters were postponed. The people
OF these States firmly believed that
the Senate intendu d To rob them Of u
part OF their representation, tud then
pnss these laws before they could
send Senators TO the Senate. IIc re-
pudiatea that idea, but Said it was
prevalent III those Stntes.
Mitchell (liep.) Of Oregon regarded
the proposition OF the Senator from
Idaho rs n o. the most remarkable
over presented to tho Senate, and for
this reason, notwithstanding lis great
sympathy with the three States that
for tho time being were deprived Of n
full representation, he would oppose
tho resolution to the bitter end. 1t
was n proposition that could rot be
maintained for II solitary moment.
The GovsrUora Of these States had
not taken any steps 10 secure Il full
representation for their States, and
tho Senate was uskcu TO postpone leg
i5lltion 10 accommodate tho couven-
fence OF those States.
Chandler (Rep.) OF New Hampshire
suggested that the best course 10
pursue was 10 postpone tho resolution
Until the legitimate duUato on the 70
peal bill was exhausted.
Wolcott (Rep.l OF Colorado said
that although the resolution would
be OF no practical benefit, its intro.
duction was Il ource OF qualification
because 1t was Il notice to the people
Of Washington, Montana and Wyom
ing that thoir interests were not for
gotten Tho opponents Of repeal
knew the Democratic side OF tho Sen
nto did not favor c!oture. On tho
Republican side, outside Of tho silver
Senators, thero were many Senators
who did not favor clo,urc.
