 wAsHINGToN, Sept aS-The closure res- olution which was introduced in the sen ate by Mir. Platt was taken up soon after the senate met and discussed until nearly o'clock, when it went over in orSier to give Mir. Turpie an opportunity to speak upon it.
 The only two speeches upon the rcsolu- tion were made by the Colorado senators Messrs. WoicOtt and Teller. Mir. Wolcott said he would vote against it, but that he would make no prolonged opposition to it. and that he thought il could be very soon brought to a vote. As 10 the repeal bill it. self. II his associates should deem 1t best to contest that measure inch by inch. he would chcerfully and cordially join with them, and any attempt to impose cruel and unusual conditions would be resisted by every obstruction which the rules per mitted.
 Mn. Teller Objects.

 The repeal bill was taken up. and speeches against ir werC made by Mir. George, Mir. Hanshrouyh of North Dakota and Mir. Stewart.
