tiers upon which trouble might arise being
covered by the agreement between the two
bodies. As the association includes nearly

SENATOR TCRPIE TALKED,

BUT II IL Not Stated Whtch of His "Seven
Tongues" the Learned Hoosier Used.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Senate to-
day began the fifth week of its extraordi-
nary session with q fair attendance Of Sem
ators In their seats. and with q large audi
ence in the galleries. rhe rights of three
Senators from the States of Montana.
Washington and Wyoming to seats in the
Senate was discussed in affirmation of that
right by Mr. Turpie. Another question as
to q Senator's right to q seat was raised
to-day by the presentation of q petition
from Joseph w. Ady, of Kansas. asserting
that Mr.. Martin. who was sworn in rs o
Senator from that State at the opening of
this extraordinary session. was not duly
elected. and that he (Ady) was. and now
desires to be admitted TO the seat.
1t is the general impression at the Senate
that the extra session OF that body Will ad-
iourn the first or middle of next week. The
President will probably by that time be
ready to notify them that he has no further
communications 10 make. When the con-
tested election cases are disposed of it 10
not likely that q quorum Will remain In the
city. as there have already been some de-
partures. and many other Senators will
leave so soon as the cases are out of the
way. There are some who think that an

that the work can he finished by that date.
Though tho Republicans still claim that
they will push the Roach investigation,
and SO nave the SCOPE of the resolution ex.
tended that the manner in which Mr..
Roach's election was accomplished, and the
part the Democratic steering committee
played in it developed. there are few who
really believe that anything more will be
done this session than the reference of the
resolution to the committee on privileges
and elections. They may order an investi-
CATION. but no work will be done in this
direction until the session next fall.

BIZ. Hoar's View OF tho Proposed Change In

BIZ. Hoar's View OF the Proposed Change In
Method of EiectinR Senators.
WASHINGTON, April Sit appears from
q resolution introduced in the Senate, to-
day. as If tho debate on the subject of the
election of Senators by q direct vote of
the people was to be renewed at this extra
session of the Senate. Mr.. Hoar introduced
q resolution an tagonistic to that PROPOSE
tion. and gave notice that as soon as con-
venient after tomorrow he would address
the Senate on the resolution. Inc resolu-
ton asserts that 1t is inexpedient that the
resolution sent to the Senate by the House
during the last Congress should be sdopt-
ed, for suoh q method of election would
essentially change the character of the
Senate as conceived by The convention that
formed the Constitution and the people
who adopted it. Ii would. the resolution
continues, transfer the election of Senators
from the Legislatures. iDtrnsted with all
legislative powers of the States, to bodies
having no other responsibility, whose cleo
tion csnno be regulated by law. whose
Members vote by proxy, whose tenure OF
Office Is for q single day. whose votes and
proceedings are not recorded. and who act
under no personal responsibility. 1t re-
quires the substitution of pluralitIes for
majorities, transfers the seat of political
power in great states, now distributed
evenly over this TERRITORY. TO the great
cities and masses of population; creates
new temptation to fraud, and will give rise
TO numerous election contests, will absolve
the larger States from the constitutional
obligation which secures equal representa-
ton of all States In the Sem
ate by providing that no State shall
be deprived of that equality without
Ats consent. In conclusion. the resolution
says such a method implies what the whole
current or our history shows TO be untrue
that the Senate has. during the past cen
fury. failed TO meet the just expectations
of the people. and that State legislatures
have proved themselves unfit to he the de-
positaries OF the powers of electIng Sena-
tors. The reasons which require this
change. if acted upon and carried to their
logical result, will lead to the election by
the popular vote and by popular majorities
of the President and of the judiciary, and
will compel tho placing of these elections
under complete nsIional control. 1t will
result In the overthrow of the whole
scheme of che Senate, and, IN the end, of
the whole scheme of the national onstitu-
ton as designed and established by its
trainers and the people who adopted it.
