as a delegate.
The incident was brief, but was empha
sized by the personal manner in which
the senators addressed each other.

senator Chandler, reSuming the thread
OF ms remarks, spoke of the opportuni-
ties ahead of the republican administra-
ton IN checking the money power and

sion he said:
l declare my belief that President Nc
kinley and the other leaders of the party
III thelf advent to power may by wise de-
signs and virtuous deeds, Indefinitely pro
long the ascendancy of the republican
party IN this country. This can surely
pe done by making it the true party of
| the people, to the final confusion and dis
comllture of those pretenders, the blind

MARTY, on November last, all thrown
INTO the ditch together. If, on the con-
tfafy, this is not done, and the republican
party shall content itself with seizing and
enjoying the spoils of office, surrenderng
unTeservedly to the money power which
so effectively contributed to it's recent
victory, acquiescing permanently in tie

intended to be fulfilled, republicans will
ind the tide of political battle once more
turned against them, and they will soon
eAchanSe places with their now sore,
bleeding and PROSTATE foes.
10 the coming triumphant president

temporarily. Without action on the In
dian bill, at $3.50 p. M, on motion of Sem
ator German, the senate went into ax-
ecutive session.
The executive session was brief and the |
open session was resumed at 4:15 .. ul.
The bankruptcy bill was taken up and |
Senator Hoar spoke in favor of the bill
He said the pending bill sought to .f-
ford help to the 100000 bankrupts of the
country, as well as protection to the cred
itor class. The state insolvency laws
We're manifestly inadequate. as only 13
states had laws embracing voluntary
and involuntary insolvency. He explained
that the pending measure provided volun-
tary as we'll as involuntary bankruptcy
Involuntary proceedings could be sustain
ed on showing of actual insolvency.
Referring to the old bankruptcy law,
Senator Hoar said it had been brought
INTO disfavor by the scandals attending
It's administration, particularly in the
south. In Louisiana five judges had been
driven to resign for fear of impeachment
Ihe present bill carefully guarded against
possible evils of extortionate fees and ad-
abuse.
At o:l5 p. m. the senate adjourned.
