THE wHhK IN CONGRESS.
The dupont Case SIN Holds Its Place in
the Senate.

the Senate.
Washington, March S.--When the con-
ference report on the Cuban resolutions,
wherein the senate receded from it's own
resolutions and agreed to their passage, J
was presented to the senate Thursday
by Mr.. Sherman objection to present
consideration was made by Mr.. Hale of
Maine. Mr.. Sherman gave notice that
he would call the report up Immediate
ly after the morning business to-mor-
row. A conference report being priv
ileged, it has the right of way. Mr..
Hale it is understood, will take the op-
portunity thus offered to explain why he
voted against the resolutions when they
We're before the senate for considera-
ton. Mr.. Chandler, who did not parti-
cipate in the debate, but who voted for
the resolutions, may also make short
speech, in which he will state his views,
which are more extreme than those of
his colleagues. Mr.. Chandler holds that
the senate should not only declare for
independence but the United States
should set up that independence and
notify Spain and the whole world that
she is ready and able to maintain it.
The Dupont case, involving the legal
ity of the alleged election in Delaware
still holds it place Mr.. Turpie of In
diana has the floor for tomorrow. His
speech will be replied to by Mr.. Pritch-
ard of North Carolina. Mr.. Gray of
Delaware and Mr. Burrows of Michi-
gan will also speak on this subject
during the week. There is belief that
l;the debate will end this week for there is
no disposition on the part of the demo-
Gratis to delay the vote. Mr.. Gray, rep
resenting the democrats, says there is a
plain case against the legality of the
claim of MI Dupont and that if the
senate votes according to the facts as
they are presented. Mr.. Mitchell is
equally firm in his belief that there can
be but one side to the case, and that
Mr.. Dupont will be seated. The i'm
preston among republicans is that Mr..
| Dupont will get the solid vote of}the re
publicans with one and perhaps two
populist votes. This would give him his
seat The silver men appear to have
been carefully sounded on the subject,
and those interested in the case say
silver will not figure in the matter at
| all, but that the case will be decided
on it's merits, even though the seating
| of Dupont does mean one more anti
| silver vote.
The bill to prevent the determination
of the fur seals of Alaska has been
made the special order for Thursday.
This measure will cause some debate,
at least on the part of Senator Morgan,
who is bitterly opposed to its provisions
and was DEBATED in committee by a
majority of only one. 1t is the expecta-
| ton of the house managers to devote
| the coming week to the consideration
of appropriation bills and the contested
election case of Aldrich versus Robbins
from the Fourth Alabama district.
The postoffice bill is the pending bus
/ mess, and when it has been disposed
of the election case will be taken up
unless the illness of Mr.. Turner, dem,
Of Virginia, a member of the committee
reporting the case, should necessitate
a postponement.
/ The naval appropriation bill is next in
| line for consideration.
