Guilty Ones Punishe d. Havemeyer Want
ed Instead of Chapman.
After long period Of calm, the
United States Senate was considera-
bly, agitated to day, first in the discus.
sion Of the sugar Senate INVESTIGATION
aud then bv q preliminary skirmish
on the tariff bill TIE Allen reSolu
ton, to bring E!verton r Chapman
: before the bar Of the Senate, was de-
! bated in somewhat mcnotorous style
until Mr. Tiilman OF South Carolina
gave present interest to the subject,
referring to reports that Senators had
i within the last week sp:culated IN su-
ar stock.
The resolution relative to bringing g
Mr.. Chapman to the bar Of the Senate
was taken up as soon AS the routine
! business was out OF the way. Mr..
Allen said he desired to present some
additional facts bearing on the sub
| ject. He said the Senate should, in
justice to itself, take this matter in
hand and deal with it promptly. He
could understand, he said, the anxiety
OF Chapman to shield those around
him from the consequences Of the SEN
tence. "But, as the representatives oil
iseventy million people. proceeded Mr..
Allen, ''we cannot afford to permit
Mr.. Chapman, the representative Of
q powerful organization. which, it has
been charged, exercises great in1u-
ence over this body, to gounwhipped. "
/ The discussion assumed g legal and
Technical phase, MeSsrs. Faulker Of
West Virginia, White Of California
and Spooner OF Wisconsin, arguing
on the Jaw appjyiog 10 Chapman.
Mr.. Eoar moved to refer the resolu-
tior to the committee On privileges
and elections
| Mr. Daniel (Dem. Va) proposed g
modification Of the resolution, that
reference to executive clemency be
struck out, leaving the resolution to
require Chapman to appear before the
Senate and purge himself OF contempt.
MIR. Pettus (Dsm Ala.) urged that
the investigation &c opened afresh
requiring witnesses to appear and tss
tify, instead of Furnishing them for
past misdeecs.
Mr. Chandler OF New Hampshire
iasked why, ii a petition was being
Ecircuiated IN tha Senate for the par-
don OF Cnspman and Senator'S were
being importuned 10 sign it. it was
mol proper to consider resolution on
1.-The subject. Was It necessary, he
iasked, that q petition in renoostrance
