washington, April 15.-In the senate
Platt spoke at length on the proposed
investigation Of the record of Senator
Roach, OF North Dakota, arguing the
right of the senate to make the inves-
tigation, and that 1t was the plain duty
of the senate to do so. On agreement,
yea and nay vote will be taken on
the Roach matter before adjournment.
A resolution was passed for the ap-
pointment of a committee to wait on
the president and inform him that the
senate was ready to adjourn. Harris
and Sherman were appointed such COM
mittee.
After further speeches in the Roach
matter, Lodge offered resolution d.
recting the secretary of state to in
form the senate by whose authority
the American flag was hauled down
from the government building at Hon
olulu. On demand of German, the reso-
luton was laid over under the rules.
Butler moved to amend by adding the
words, "Also by whose authority the
same was hoisted on said buildings"
The committee to wait on the presi-
dent reported that the president said
he had no further communication to
make to the senate.
Washington, April 15.-In the senate
today, Chandler rising to a question OF
personal privileges, said he had not
distinctly understood yesterday wheth-
er the senator from Indiana, voorhees,
had said "he-might have heard" VI
that he had heard" certain statements
concerning his action as secretary OF
the navy. Chandler said he thought he
had kept pretty good track of various
attacks made on him from time &C
time, both personal and official, put ne
had never heard before that ships built
under his administration were defect
i've. The ships were the Chicago, the
Boston, Atlanta, and Dolphin, and
these ships, he thought, were very
much afloat at this day. Contracts FOL
those ships were made with John Roach
and it could not be to him the senator
alluded as one of those who retired
''rich, contented end infamous"
voorhees, explained that his remarks
yesterday were intended as an illus
tration of the position taken by The
senator from New Hampshire and
other senators on that sidt and the
language which he used in reference to
Chandler he had heard used by others
and not at a very remote period from
the present time.
Hasbrough also rose to question OF
personal privilege and began by ex'
pressing the hope that the senate would
not adjourn without giving his col
leagu, Mr.. Roach, the opportunity
asked by him yesterday. Objection was
made by several democrats and the
senate proceeded to consideration Of
executive business. At $50 o'clock the
doors were opened and a resolution
was agreed to, rendering the thanks d
the senate to the vice president o. the
senate during the present EXTRAORDINARY
session.
A motion to adjourn sine die was
then made by Hill and agreed TO with
out division.
The vice president said before an
nouncing the result of the vote jus'
taken,
"Ibeg to express my earnest apI reel
alton of the uniform courtesy shown
me by the members and officers of this
body during the session now closing
and for a resolution personal TO myself
kindly adopted by the senate. IN ac
coradnce with the vote just taken,
now declare the senate adjourned with
| out day.
