Close attention was given to the
reading of Aliens resolution and as il
closed. Gallinger of New Hampshire,
remarked:
Let it go over"
do ! understand the Senator to OBJ
ject to the consideration of the resolu
tion?" Asked Allen.
Gallinger answered that the resolu-
ton was very long. Senators had been
summoned to a committee room to
testify. He had been summoned and
had testified that he never owned a
coppers worth of sugar stock. The
resolution should be looked into before
this line of inquiry was resumed.
Allen said the resolution did not con-
template re-opening of the investiga-
ton. 1t was confined to a requirement
that Chapman purge himself as a pre-
requisite to pardon.
Gallinger said he had misapprehend-
would do no harm to let it go over "a
hours.
Il hope the senator will consent to let
the resolution go ito the committee on
privileges and elections began Hoar.
Certainly not certainly not. said Al
len, empna ideally.
Hoar with some asperity claimed the
floor and said that Allen could not say
what he (Hoar) hoped would be done.
He would go as far as any one. Hoar
said to see that this Investigation and
another one as to the sale of bonds We're
pressed to the utmost.
And | hope the Investigations will
touch bottom, added Hoar II have no
sympathy with anybody who would whis-
tie either of those inquiries down the
wind
Iioar spoke of the need of sustaining
the powers and authority of the Senate.
He felt that the opinion in the Hallet-
KiHbourne case had been construed far
beyond the purpose of the juriSt giving
il. The senator held that the Senate
should exercise its powers without refer
ence to the possible course of the Presi-
dent
This resolution practically gave away
the power of the Senate. the senator
maintained He would, he said. when the
resolution was considered, propose an
amendment by which the authority of
the Senate would be retained.
Allen replied briefly, saying that he re-
garded Chapman as a victim rather than
a criminal Allen said he believed Chap
man was more of an agent than prin
cipal.
After some further discussion the reso-
luton went over until tomorrow.
The Senate passed bills as follows: For
the relief of certain citizens of Montana.

laws: granting to Montana 10000 acres of

The immigration and kaleidoscope bills
were reached but went over on objection.

55th CONGRESS.
Senator Allen After the Scalp
,of Broker Chapman.
Wants Him to Answer Those Ques-
tons Before Being Pardoned.
Hoar Would Have Him Punished Unless Purqes
Himself OF Contempt.

Washington, May 12.-In the Senate
today, the sugar investigation of 1894
was recalled by the introduction of a
resolution by Allen of Nebraska, pro-
posing that Elverton r. Chapman be
brought to the bar of the Senate to
purge himself of contumacy as a pre-
requisite to pardon. Allen sought to
secure immediate action on the resolu-
ton but it went over on objections
from Gallinger of New Hampshire and
Hoar of Massachusetts. The latter
criticised the resolution as giving away
the authority of the Senate and said he
would, propose an amendment with a
view Of having Chapman punished IN
less he purged himself of contempt
without reference TO the question of
pardon. The consideration of the reso-
luton will be in order tomorrow. The
Cuban resolution also went over to
of the committee of foreign relations to
submit statement of facts bearing on
the subject. The calendar was taken
up later in the day and several bills
passed.
