WEDNESDAY. FEB. 81.


In the Senate, the Sundry Civil bill was
passed. Then the Legislative appropriation
bill was taken up and passed at the evening
session.
The Chamber was the scene Of extraordinary
demonstration at the session last night, begin
ming with sensational speeches and eliminating
with an exchange of personal epithets almost
without parallel in the history of the Senate
The Legislative appropriation bill was tenn
porarily laid aside at the night session to per-
NIT Mr.. Chandler to make speech on recent
election methods of the Democratic party,
and this led to the row.
Concerning the election of Mr.. Murphy, of
New York. Mr. Chandler declared that 1t was
brought about by gerrymander and various
forms of electioneering larceny, in which he
indicated that the then Governor and present
senior Senator from New York were concerned.
As to the election of Mr.. Martin, of Kansas,
Mr.. Chandler said the Senator. although DEM
ocrat had made "close connection with the
Pepulist members of the Kansas Legislature.
As to the seat now occupied by Mr.. Roach,
of North Dakota, Mr.. Chandler declared it
would be filled by Republican IL there had
not been the basest manipulation in the North
Dakota Legislature.
And So" said Mr. Chandler, 1.-The former
Cashier of the Citizens National Bank of
Washington continues to occupy seat rs 8
Democratic Senator"
Mr.. Chandler closed with q reference TO Mr..
Gorman's recent figure of speech, a bow OF
promise for Democracy was in the sky, which,
said the New Hampshire Senator, was merely
q fash from the lower region.
Mr.. Hill was at once on his feet when Mir.
Chandler closed. He said Mr.. Chandler bad
evidently something on bis stomach" and it
necessary Ito get rid of the offensive
bile"
Nr. Hill turned his attention to Mr.. Chsnd-
ler's reference TO Mr. Roach. He (HilD could
have forgiven the attack New York, or the
attack on Honest John Martin" but" he
said :" i can never forgive the cruel, mean,
contemplate malicious attack upon Senator
Roach"
Then turning to Mr.. Chandler, he added:
ave all remember the course of our friend
Chandler at that time, in going to Florida and
stealing that State from the Democracy"
There was a tumultuous demonstration in
the gallery at this point. lasting half a min
ute.
Mr.. Martin said no honest man had ever
questioned his right to his seat. No man had
ever charged that he bought his seat in the
Senate but could the Senator from New Hamp-
shire say as much? If one-half was true that
was charged against the Senator from New
Hampshire, instead of being in the United
States Senate he should be in the peniten-
tisry."

Up the fight and the amendment was adopted
The question Of the Bering Sea indemnity
fund came up on two occasions to-day: First on
resolution offered by Mr.. Morgan (Ala d.
TO refer the matter 10 the Committee on Foreign
Relations with instructions to inquire whether
there was any liability, and to what amount, on
the part Of the United States, and as to any
liability of Great Britain or Canada arising
out of the controversy. The resolution went
over.
The second time the subject came up was In
the shape OF an amendment offered by Mr.
Cockrcll to the deficiency bill, appropriating
$4,000 for the expenses Of the arbitration as to
the indemnity. That was aDtagonized by Mr.
Sherman Ohio, Il. as an unwige proposition,
which would result in much larger cost to
the Government, and in weakening the princi-
pie Of the international arbitration. He offered
a substitute for ito pay the $425, 900 which
was agreed upon by the Secretary of State. The
amendment was laid on the table.
The bill was passed.
