WASHINGTON. July 2a-SENATE-Not in ses-
sion Saturday
HoUsE-The Tucker joint resolution provid-
ing for an amendment to the constitution, by
which senators are to be elected by the people,
was passed Saturday, as the result of clever
manipulation of members and their votes It
was adopted by vote OF 1877 to 40, a two-thirds
majority being necessary, as it is an amend
ment to the constitution. Not even the most
sanguine Of the supporters OF the proposition
on the house side, however, entertains the idea
that it will successfully run the gauntlet Of
the senate, for this is the second time that the
house has passed such a resolution.
