to Q seat from Oregon.
During Greater. part OF the senate'l
session Saturday the right OF Henry w
Oorbett to seat from the state OF Ore
gon was under discussion. Thurston. 3

| posed the admission of Corbett, whilt
Foraker. Kyle and Mantle supported
CeFbett's claim. The vote IN The case
l-it was agreed, would be taken today at

Tburston apprehended great danger TO

we're either eeated orturned away Dy q
mere partisan vote, but he believed the
vote in this case would not only be a
partisan vote, but it would besso decisive
as to determine ell similar cases in the
future. At the conclusion OF Thurston's
speech, thirteen private pension bills
were passed by unanimous consent.
Foraker, republican OF Ohio, address.
lug the senate on the Gorbett case, said
he did not propose to follow the preced
ent established by the Mantle case, as
he regarded the decision Ia that caae as

II want to assure the senator from Ohio
that 30 far as Was concerned the silver
question had not the slightest weight in
determining my vote in the Mantle case.
] voted against Mantle's admission, and
for similar reasons | expect to vote
against CoFbett."
Pasco, democrat OF Florida, said be
desired also TO enter disclaimer to the
statement OF Foraker. He thought that
the roll call on the Mantle case con
clusively intimated to him that the silver
question had nothing to do with the re-
fusal OF the senate to seat Mantle, as II
out OF the 35 votes against him were
east by senators who supported Bryan
for president. The names OF the seven.
teen are: Berry, Blackburn, Coke,
Faulkner, George, Gibson, Harris, Kyle,
Mills, Mitchell, Pasco, Murphy, PETER,
Smith, Vance. Vest and White.
Il am very glad" replied Foraker,
''to have the disclaimer OF the senators
Of New Hampshire and Florida, and

that throughout the country the impres.
sion was that the silver question had q /
