SENATORIAL TANGLE.
DUBOIS AND TELLER WERE RESPONSE BILE FOR IT. THEY LAID
 4 PLOT.
IT GETS WORSE.
Dubois Win be Made to Vote or MT, Villas Win Have Him
 GsDsured.

Inc tangle m which the senate finally found itself last night, and which resulted in the adjournment of that body, was the outcome of a cleverly laid plot originated by Sena- tor Dubois and executed through the help of Senator Teller. The sil- yer men knew on roll call where pairs would have to be recognized, the repeal members would not be able to obtain a quorum, though on call of the senate, in which pairs can be violated, a quorum was pres ent. The difficulty then became to obtain roll-call.
 Senator Teller examined the rules and discovered what proved to be a successful manner of brin2ing about the desired end. It is the rule of the senate that, except by uDani- nous consert, a public document cannot be read in that body if 1t has been previously read. Mr. Teller, during the call for a quorum, ex plained the scheme to Mir. Peffer, who was speak ing, and few moments later Mr. Peffer, frg4ss a mass of manuscript that he had on his desk, .esurrected public document, and began to read it with great delibera- tion. Immediately Mf. Teller was on his feet and objected to the read ing. He raised a point of order agairst the reading, and after some debate the chairman made a decison, from which an appeal was taken and the roll-call was otdered. This was what tho silver men were look ing for, and on the roll 1t developed no quorum was present. It was then the repeal men stepped into another trap. Mir. Villas tried to force Mr. Dubois to vote and long debate ensued. An effort was made to take vote of the senate not to excuse Mr. Dubois from voting, and on this roll.call another lack of a quorum developed, and the sen ate was forced to ad- iourn. The pending question now becomes an effort to have MT. Du bois vote and 1t is the intention of Mr. Villas to have Mir Dubois cen sured. This, it Is stated, will bring out nice constitutional question which will develope debate which, the silver men claim, will last for a month at least, and thus the time of the senate will be given to another question and the time of the senate will be in this much occupied.
 In the house yesterday a bill passed increasing the number of army officers detailed as military instructors at institutions from seventy-6veto to 100. Before the debate in the Chinese ex- tension bill was resumed an agree ment was reached by the friends and foes of the measure to vote on the bill Monday at 3 o'clock. Inyestsr- days debate the East were pitted against the West, irrespective of party lines, the former supporting and the latter assailing the measure. Mir, Raynor, of Indiana, made most brilliant speech in it's advocacy, during which ne attacked the decision of the supreme court, and. declared it tue almost upau nous opinion of the American bar that the Geary law was uucons i'utional
 Mir. Magure, If California, made a reply cn bshalf of the Pacific coast He claimed tho advocates of the bill had shoan the eleven foot. Trey d d not want the Geary act ex tended they wan'esi it nulliGed by an adverse decision of the supreme court.
 Mr. Bowers, of California, and Messrs. Draper, Morse and Mccall, of Massachusetts, were the other speakers.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. H. Considering the members of the senate did not find their beds until l2 or o'clock last night there was a liberal attendance when tue vice president rapped for order this morning. The long strain is be ginning to show itself upon the senators as individuals, however, and they are looking forward quite anxiously to Sunday, in which they, led by Senator Voorhees,, hope it will prove day of rest. He has made no public announcement of his intentions about further continn- GUS sessions, bet says privately and to the newspaper reporters that he will probably not ask the sena.e to sit to night, but about 6 o'clock will move an adjournment until Mon day.
 Senator Morgan took the floor during the morning hour to make a personal explanation in reply 10 some Alabama newspapers criti- cism, and delivered facetious speech which had the effect of putting the senate in good humor with itself and the world There was not a great amount of energy manifested on the part of any one.
