LEW ing on every train. Most of the
Democratic leaders are remaining to
make quorum i'll the case of an I'M
expected emergency on the tariff.
Tho Hou SO Committee on Judiciary
to day decided to fdvorably report
Senator Hills bill for the exclusion
and deportation of alien anarchists,
which passed the Senate.
The Democratic Steer ing Com
mittee chose Senator White, of Cali.
fornia. to ill the vacancy in the FL
nance Committee. While there was
some opposition to White on the part
Of the members opposed to the sup
elemental tariff bills, large majority
was favorable to his selection.
The attempt in the Senate to.fill the
vacancy by the appointment of White,
was objected to by Chandler. The
Republicans insisted the motion must
go over under the rules. After a.
spirited contest, Harris motion for
the appointment ofWhite was with
drawn. Harris later put his motion in
the form of resolution and it went
over until to morrow.
AS soon as the reading of the jour

Harris ON behalf of the Democratic
Steering Committee, moved that the
Senator from California (White) be
appointed to the vacancy on the FL

of Vance. Chandler interposed an
objection. Harris made point of

members of the several committees of
the Senate and no voice was heard in
objection. The course of Chandler
he denounced as most revolutionary.
Chandler declared it came with ill
Craze from Harris to condemn re-
quest made under the rules OF which
he (Harris) was such master.
Then Hill got the floor and plung

leg Station which the filling of va
ca ICY was designed to expedite.
AS far as the bills for placing coal,
iron ore, and sugar on the free list
were concerned he voted, he said, for
them when they were legitimately be-
fore the Senate and he was not trying
to escape from the record
Senator Murphey offered resolu-

tariff at this session. in view of the
Carlisle letter, Hc asked for the I'M.
