WASHINGTON. Sept 28-The debate in
the senate yesterday was the most inter
esting and exciting Of the numerous de-
: bates which have taken place in that body
during the extraordinary session. 1t began
early In the day on the resolution intro
-duced on Tuesday by Mr.. Dubois of Idaho,
for the postponement of consideration of
the silver bill, the tariff and the federal
elections law until January next, so that
the vacant seats from Montana. Washing
ton and Wyoming may be filled IN the
meantime.
After a speech from Mr.. Dubois in favor
of the resolution and one by Mr.. Mitchell
against it.sMr. Chandler suggested it's
postponement for the present, stating that
If it should become probable that the vote
on the repeal bill would be so close as to
be affected in either way by three votes he
would support the resolution, but that
otherwise he would oppose 1t.
Mr.. Wolcott followed Mr. Chandler. He
advocated the resolution, protested against
the cruel and unusual test Of endurance to
which he understood the senate was to be
subjected by requiring senators to sit from
ii in the morning until midnight, and
made some unpleasant remarks about Sem
ator German, of Maryland, being
''steerer" for the friends of the bill on the
Democratic side and Senator Aldrch, OF
Rhode Island, being "a like "steerer" on
the Republican side.
This tannt stung to the quick both the
senators alluded to, and they repealed it
inIiUnnntlv Mn a
with an appearance Of much irritation he
defended his course, that Of Senator Voor-
hees and that Of the president, and turned
the tables upon the Colorado senator by
suggesting that he had got his informa-
ton ms to what was contemplated by lis
tening tcither personally or through caves
drorpers) at the doors of committee rooms
Mr.. WolCoit resented the iusinuation with
equal Indignation, and Mr. German toned
down the statements so ns to deprive it of
some OF its oiTensiveness
Finally the resolution was sent to the
calendar and the repeal bill itself came up
for discussion. Mr.. Pasco made speech
against unconditional repeal. hut saying
that he would interpose no obstruction to
Il vote. The days debate closed by a
speech from Mr. Teller, in which he de-
Tended Mr., Stewart against the animad
versions to which he had been subjected on
account of his discussing the presidents
course.
Three hours Of yesterdays session were
occupied in an effort to secure the adop-
tion of "A resolution TO which there was no
objection. This apparent paradox was due
TO the attitude assumed by Representative
Morse, OF Massachusetts. Several days
ago he made some remarks about Pension
Commissioner Lochren, aud stated that he
would include in his remarks in The
Record some newspaper clippings. These
clippings had been withheld from The
Record by Speaker Crisp because Repre-
sentative Morse had not formally obtained
unanimous consent of the house for their
insertion. Yesterday he made the re-
quest, but Representative Fithian, of Illi-
nois, objected, whereupon Mr.. Morse de-
clined to permit business to proceed in the
absence of quorum, and it was 3:l5 be-
fore MIR. Bland could get the resolution
passed which cal led on the secretary Of tho
treasury for the reason why he had not
bought 100000 ounces of silver in each of
July and August as required by the Sher-
man law. That having been finally nc
complshed, with no dissenting votes, tho
bill to repeal the federal elections law was
taken up, and Representatives Lawson
and Daniels, members of the committee
OH election of president and vice president
and representatives in congress- spoke re-
spectiyely for and against the bill.
