WASHINGTON, FEB. 6.-The federal cleo
tion repeal bill occupied the entire ses-
sion OF the senate yesterday. Senator
Chandler concluded his speech, which has
extended through the past two or three
weeks, and was followed by Senator Pal
mer, who argued that the law having en-.
tirely failed OF its purpose and being gen
orally obnoxious should be repealed. An
animated controversy OF the franchise
qualifications of the state constitutions
of Mississippi and Massachusetts took
place between Senators Fry and IIoar on
one side and Senators Gray and Bate on
the other. The final vote is to be taken
on the bill before adjournment today.
The Hawaiian debate again occupied
the attention of the house, night session
being held to permit speeches by those
members who desired to talk The debate
is attracting much less attention in the
house than was anticipated. This is per-
haps partly due to the abandonment of
the policy of restoration of the admins
tration and partly to the fact that the
long thrift debate has surfeited the house.
Tho principal speeches yesterday were
made by Messrs. Johnson Uud), Routells
(Mel Patterson (Tenn. and Black [lllsD.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The senate judi-
eiary committee did not act on the Peck
ham nomination yesterday They dis
cussed the matter for nearly two hours
yesterday without coming to vote. Itis
the belief Of n conservative memb OF the
committee that the nomination will either
be reported back favorably or without any
accommodation. The members of the
committee who wore against Hornblower,
but who do not want to make report
against Peokham, think tho best way to
fix the matter is TO allow 1t to come be
fore the senate without any recommenda-
tion whatever, and have all that has been
presented to the committee laid before
the senate. There are only three members
of the committee who are actively opposed
to Peckhsm-Hill, Pugh and Teller-aud
the others are inclined to report without
recommendation.
