AGAINST MR.. QUAY.

Mr.. Carson presented an elaborate legal
and constitutional argument against the
seating of Mr.. Quay. He maintained 1t
was important that each states repre-
sentation should be kept full but he
regarded 1t as equally important that the
senator's from the several states should
be selected properly and in accordance
with the constitution. He doubted the
desirabHity of according to the state ex-
ecutive such authority as was exercised
by the governor of Pennsylvania in this
case to appoint anybody to the senate
whom he might choose. He urged the
committee and the senate, in consider
ing the case in hand, to follow the well
established precedent of the senate in not
recognizing the right Of the governor to
aEpoint where opportunity had been af-
foTded the legislature to elect; which it
had not employed $50 1-4es'..iz
= Mr.. Carson concluded his argument
with the declaration that the legislature
of Pennsylvania, had actually been pre-
vented from performing its duty of elect
ing "a senator by the governor of the
state, and that it was the first time in
the history of Pennsylvania that the
power of the executive had been exer-
cised in that manner.

MR.. !. EDMETNDS'2 PLEA. :


Former Senator Edmunds followed Mr..
Carson; celebrating some-ef the legal and
constitutional points. made by his coll
league. He declared that the authority
to make appointments was constantly
being trenched upon by executive power,
not only of the states, but Of the nation
Itself. The president was exercising such
power by making recess appointments of
men who previously had been rejected by
the senate This he regarded as danger
Gus, and urged the senate to take a Arm
stand against such usurpation of power
as protection to itself
Mr. Edmunds maintained that the va
cancy having occurred during a session
Of the legislature, and that after the va
cancy had occurred the legislature had
endeavored, but failed to elect, the gov
;ernor was barred-from exercising his con-
stitutlonal right to appoint He contend
ed that the case Of Mr.. Quay did not fall
within the authority conferred upon a
governor to fill a vacancy in the states
representation in the senate.
Attorney General Elkin closed the hear
ing with an argument in rebuttal Of the
statements and arguments advanced by
Mr.. Edmunds and Mr.. Carson
: In conclusion Mr.. EIkin held that the
. Judgment Of the governor as to the ne
cessity for calling an extra session of
the legislature, which had failed to elect
a senator, was final and conclusive. and
that he, the referee, had full authority
to exercise his constitutional right 80 an

sentatlon should be complete.

TREATIES IN HOUSE.
Unusual Procedure to Be Carried Out
In Present Congress.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 16.-It is expected
that an unusual procedure will have to be
adopted as to the reciprocity treaties now
before the senate, as the Dingley tariff
law. under which they were negotiated,
requires that such treaties must be zap
proved by congress" The California del
egatien has been looking into this pro-
vision. and 1t is the understanding that
after the treaties have been ratified by
the senate they will then be sent to the
house to be approved in accordance with
the law. This will be the first time that
treaties. have been passed on by the
house. and it is due to the fact that they
affect revenues. which are in the special
province of the house.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1e.--The investi-
CATION of the right of former Senator
Quay to a seat in the senate by appoint
mcnt of the governor OF Pennsylvania
was begun today by the senate commit
tee on privileges and elections. The hear
ing toIny Sas purely legal argument
on the right of the governor to make the
appointment under circumstances which
arose In the case Of Mr.. Quay-a question
which repeatedly has been threshed over
by the senate in other cases.
Hon, John H. Elkin. attorney general
OF Pennsylvania. stated that he would
address the committee on behalf OF the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
bonner Senator Edmunds announced
that he would appear for those who re-
monstrated against the seating of Mr.
Quay, and that he had as ccadjutors
Hampton L. Carson and George Wharton
Keeper.
w J. Bremen. an attorney of Pitts
burg, announced his appearance for the
democratic members Of the Pennsyl-
vania legislature, and that he had asso-
ciated with him James A. Stranahan
In the course of his opening argument
Mr.. EllIin commended that a sovereign
state was at all times entitled to full
representation in the senate according
to the spirit and letter of the ccnstitu-
ton. The intention Of the trainers OF
the constitution was to keep the repre-
sentation of each state complete, and he
maintained that the governor, having
authority to appoint senator TO fill
vacancy caused by death, resignation,
disqualification or expulsion, had also full
power to appoint, in the event the leg
is{ature failed of its duty to elect. He
held that the failure of the legislature to
perform its duty ought not and could
not operate to the states disadvantage
in the senate.
Attorney General Elkin, was followed
by Hampton L. Carson. AS he was about
to begin his argument, Senator Penrese,
Of Pennsylvania, interrupted to inquire:
do you not appear as the paid attor-
ney of John Wananaker ?f
Mr.. Carson replied that he did not ap-
pear In the pay Of Mr. Wanamaker or in
that of anybody else.
Former Senator Edmunds then seized
the opportunity to dlsclaim for himself
any connection with Mr.. Wanamaker in
the case.
