Senatorial Claimant. &
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1s.--The
senate committee on privileges and
elections to-day decided to make an
adverse report upon Hon. H. W. Cor
belts claim to a seat In the Senate from
Oregon. The vote was four to three,
and was cast on partisan lines. except
that Senator Burrows, (Rep.) who was
absent, was counted upon his authority
In opposition to Mr.. Corbctt.
There were two votes, the first being
upon motion to declare Mr.. Corbett
entitled to his seat. which was support
ed by Messrs. Chandler, Hoar and
Prltchard. Republicans, and opposed by
Messrs. Caffery and Pettus, Democrats.
Allen. Popullst and Burrows. Republi-
. can. Mr.. Spooner, Republican, was
paired with Mr.. Turley, Democrat, the
former for and the latter against the
motion. q e
a motion was then made to declare
that Mr.. Corbett was not entitled to
his seat, and was carried by the above
vote reversed. 4. ~
The vote was preceded by a quite
general discussion based upon -epor:
prepared by Senator Pettus, on behalf
of the opposition. This report took the
position that the question involved Is
practically the same as that involved
In the Mantle case, and that this case
should be allowed to stand as prece-
dent. Senator Pettus made an argu-
ment in favor OF establishing q princi-
pie OF action In such cases., and allow
Ing It to stand, taking the position that
there was danger in changing the SEN
ate's course every time the political
complexion Of the senate changes.

5 1t was the Intention Of the house man
ayers to proceed with the diplomatic and

owing to the excited condition OF affairs
in Havana, and the wildly exaggerated
reports nHoat they decided to avoid the
responsibility of opening up Cuban de-
bate by relinqulshing the day TO the
committee on claims In charge ofbills on
the private calendar. z ~,
Before this order was entered upon the
agricultural bill was passed. Most OF
the day was consumed In filibuster

Company. was witness to-day in the
United States circuit court in the trial
Of the suit Of Charles NJ. Despeaux,' sur
viving member Of the firm OF Fenallle
& DespeauX, oil refners In France.
against the Pennsylvania railroad for
alleged discrimination in rates in 1881,
1882 and 1883 In carrying oil. The plaint-,
III contends that the Standard OIL Com
paEy and some private shippers were
given commissions or rebates and were
thus enabled to transport oil at a less
cost than he. r. i 81 q ~
Mr.. Rockefeller said in 1877 an agree
meEt twas between his company and
Thomas A. Scott then president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, that
the Standard company was for Pc
riods OF five years to receive q commits
sion on crude oil shipped over the road,
provided It shipped two million barrels
OF oil per annum. Mr.. Rockefeller said
he had no doubt this his company re-
celved the lowest rate for the carrying
OF Its oil that was possible to obtain.
Counsel for the plaintiff questioned
Mr.. Rockefeller as to various particulars
regarding matters that happened long
ago, 20 which witness replied that he
could not remember and that It was
probably due to advanced age. The Wit
ness was then questioned about rebates
and drawbacks and said he knew OF no
difference between them. The object Of
each was TO give lower rate. :
Mr.. Rockefeller was Than asked regard
Ing the agreement in evidence made be-
tween Daniel O'Day, the manager of The
American Transfer Company and Presi-
dent Scott in 1878, under which the trans
fer company was allowed percentage OF
twenty cents per barrel for the oil It
brought nr shipment to the railroad
company. Witness said the agreement
was abrogated in 1880 and that his
knowledge was received from an attor-
ney In New York. Since the termination
Of the O'Day-scott agreement, Mr..
Rockefeller said no rebates had been paid
BY the Pennsylvania company to the.
Standard under the agreements which
had existed prt'ir to thut time. 4 Il,
Court then adjourned and Mr.. Rookie
feller Will resume on Monday. f%43,s

no truth inEthe supposItlon that either
Cardinal Rampolla or the pope has any
Idea of even temporary alliance with
the Republican party, but yet, they be-
lIeve that. while peace with the kins Is
impossible. It might be possible with q
