WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-There was
day while yesterdays journal was be-
ing road and two motions to dispense
with its reading were met with prompt
objections from the Republican side of
the chamber.
The resolution offered yesterday by
Harris for the appointment of White, of
CALIFORNIA, to fill the vacancy on the
finance committee was laid before the
Senate.
Henderson stated that there would be
no objection, he thought, to the consid-
Grafton OF the resolution this morning.
He wished to say for himself and some
others that the stand taken yesterday
meant no measure Of disrespect to the
Senator from California. Recognizing
the ability and fitness of that senator
there had been no personal feeling
whatever in the matter. But it had
been thought desirable that that i'm
portant vacancy should not be filled
without full consideration.
Mr.. Hill concurred in the expression
of the hope that the resolution might be
adopted this morning without opposition.
withouG division.
The resolution offered yesterday by
Murphy declaring that there should be
no further legislation or change in
revenue laws at this session was then
laid before the Senate.
German asked that the resolution be
laid aside temporarily as he wished to
make a suggestion to the Senator from
New York. The request was complied
with and German moved over to the
seat OF Murphy, where the two Senat tors
had short conversation.
In the meantime the Vice President
laid before the Senate the resolution
offered yesterday by Gray instructing
the finance committee to report back
the free sugar bill with an amendment
providing revenue duty ON all sugars
without any differential duty on re-
fined sugars. To that resolution a sub
stitute was offered by Henderson in
structing the committee on finance to
report back the bill leaving sugar free
and re enacting the provisions of the
Mckinley act for q sugar bounty.
A demand for division of the ques-
ton CT Manderson's substitute was
made by Turpie, And long discussion
ensued on the parliamentary point in
volved in it. The Vice.President ruled
that the vote should be taken on Man
dersoo's amendment, and that that was
not divisible. The vote was taken and
resulted: Yeas. 81; nays, 20.
As there was no quorum voting the
roll of Senators WAS called and ffty. four
responded. Then German suggested
that as there was evidently no voting
quorum present the resolution be laid
aside Item porarily and that suggestion
WAS agreed to.
Thereupon Murphys resolution was
again taken up and Murphy modified it
so as to read:
Resolved, That in the opinion of the
Senate the enactment of further legis.
lstion on contested matters at this ses.
sion is mpracticable and that Congress
should adjourn at the earliest possible
date.
The vote was taken and the resolu-
tion was agreed to-yeas 27, nays 16.
Lindsay offered resolu ton declaring
it to be the sense Of the Senate that
Congress should not adjourn until bill
shall have been passed removing and
disseminating all import duties on
refined or discolored sugars that operate
directly or indirectly for the benefit OF
the so called sugar trust.
Henderson moved to amend the reso-

Chandler also offered an amendment
to Lindsay's resolution to the effect that

ever name known, and whenever and
wherever it may be found, which passed
the House OF Representatives on Aug
