dency yesterday afternoon.
IL was done in open Senate, and there
was none to say nay. 1t was after he had
finished great speech On the division
OF the appropriation bills.
The effort was the strongest yet made
against the proposed rule. After he sat
down Senator Proctor said:
IF 1 had any doubts of the advisability
of nominating the Senator from Iowa Tor
President, they have all been swept away
now faa
Mr.. Allison blushed, and did not blush
unseen. There was b broad smile all
over the Senate and then the incident was
past
MR.. BURROWS SPEECH.
Another feature or the debate was the
speech of Senator Burrows OF Michigan,
1t was really his maiden effort IL was
generally acknowledged to be the strongest
presentation of the reasons why the rule
should be adopted, yet made.
Mr. burrows commanded the marked at
/ tention OF the Senate. The opponents of
the rule followed his remarks very closely.
I With duh subject 10 speak to the at
teirtion of his collea CUES was most flat
tering.
is most noticeable. Just recovered from
a severe attack OF grip, his voice was
remarkably full and clear. In a conyersa-
tional tone he emphasized each word and
proved clearly his ability TO occupy as
conspicuous u position i'll the Senate as
did when he was Speakership possibility
in The House.
The opposition fully granted him this
| Qf nd Mr. TaI Of
marked attention paid to this" tried veteran
of the House."
AT g O'Clock the Senate adjourned by
a vote OF 81 to 20. The vote was, TO
certain extent. a test, because Mr. Dubois
had given notice that he would press
his resolution to vote. The resolution
divides the appropriation bills among the
various standing committees OF the Senate.
The vote shows that Mr.. Dubois is losing
ground. Wednesday majority in favor
, Of the bill OF from anywhere from fifteen
to twenty votes. The adjournment yea
and nay shows, to say the least that the
/ majority has dwindled greatly.
, OLD MEMBERS AGGRIEyED.
: The older members of the Senate are
engaged in a fight just now with the
young blood, the like OF which has never
been seen. They are making a personal
! fight of the matter and a button-hoe
canvass. Already they have succeeded
in proselyting few of the young men
and they are hard at work with others.
They appeal TO these new members on
personal grounds. if they find they can
not reach them any other way. The old
men are determined that they must win
the fight. II they don't age will no
longer tell. They would be showed into
the background the same as any one
else. -r.n
: The members OF the Appropriations
Committee are specially eager in the
proseIyting.h They can put it on the
ground that PERSONAL Sights are offered
them if thes change is made. And this
kind OF pleading is telling. 1t may win
out yet. -
But the vote was rot reached without a
great tanglc over pairs. Half "a dozen
Senators were on The floor at tine, and
il took fully twenty minutes to get mat
tiers into proper shape. The vote was
taken on motion OF Mr.. Harris to ad-
journ. The presiding officer was going
! to declare on asTiva vocc vote, but the
: calls for yeas and nays could not be
avoided.
During the souahble, Mr.. Faulkner ques-
toned a statement of Mr.. Dubois as TO
u tie pair OF Mr. Warren. Afterwards he
u told Mr.. Gallinger that he knew the obliga-
tions of q pair, and Mr. GalIinger ''ac-
cepted the lecture.''
n Mr.. Dubois wanted TO transfer the pair
G Mr.. George lad with another Senator, and
y his statement was met with the point
c blank question: 'Win you be responsible
C for that statement?''
It MR. HARRIS RAISES A LAUGH.
e Mr.. Harris caused laughter by saying
in his most emphatic way: 81 have a
e general pair with the Senator from Yer
L mont Mr.. Morill. We are always to
gether on questions of-adjournment
Z / voted yes, and elect to have it stand.'1
u The fight will be taken up again today

: Just before the Senate took up the ar
n preparation resolution Mr.. Morgan

er The speech of Mr.. Allison chairman of tn
tn Appropriations Committee, against tn
e, resolutions distributing the appropriation
to was an elaborate argument. He recalle
the fact that up to a comparatively reeen
es time the appropriations were in control {
st the Finance Committee in the Senate and {
ed the Committee on Ways and Means in th
er House. Thepbilosophy of fthatarrangemer
sd was that axation and appropriation shoul

~ reached the modern idea of the goyernmer
