THE SENATE.

An annual custom which has prevailed
In the Senate for many years Is the reading
by some senator. designated by resolution,
of Washington's farewell address immedi-
ately after the reading of the journal of
the Senate on Washingtons birthday.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Foraker. the sem
ior sena tor from Ohio, was selected to read
the address. 1t was a notable compliment
to him that when the Senate convened to-
day all of the public and private galleries
were crowded, and scores of people stood
in the corridors, unable to gain admission.
An unusually large attendance of sena-
tors was present. and all gave close atten-
ton to Mr.. Foraker's reading, which was
fine bit of elocution. At the conclusion
OF the reading he was congratulated by his
colleagues.
Mr.. Foraker had scarcely concluded the
reading of the address when Mr.. Penrose
Pa) rose and called the attention of sena-
tors to the announcement he had made
yesterday concerning the calling up of the
resolution involving the right of Matthew s.
Quay to a seat in the Senate as member
from Pennsylvania. Mr.. Penrose said that
while he would much prefer to have the
case considered Immediately he had been
Informed that number of senators desired
to be present when 1t was called up, and
as their request was entirely reasonable
he would not oppose a motion to adjourn
at this time. But he gave notice that he
would call up the Quay case tomorrow at
the conclusion of morning business.
Mr.. Foraker called attention to the no.
tee of his intention to move the considera-
ton of the Porto Rican bill after the Ha-
waiian government measure had been dis
posed of, but he added that he in no man
ner would oppose the suggestion of Mr..
fenrose.
Mr.. Chandler ONLY declared the question
of the right to a seat in the Senate was
privileged and it was not necessary to take
up the question by vote. A senator had
the right to address the Senate on the sub
ject at any time during q session. The
question, he said, could not be superseded
by any other business, not even the unfin-
ished business.
Mr.. Hoar (Mass.) made the same conten-
ton, holding that as matter of the high
est privilege the question could be called
up at any time.
Mr.. Aldrich held that neither the conten-
ton of Mr.. Chandler nor of Mr.. Hoar was
in accordance with the rules and practices
OF the Senate. and that it had been voted
down by the Senate on every previous oc-
casion in his experience.
Mr.. Hale (Me) said that while he did
not agree with the arguments advanced by
Mr. Chandler and Mr.. Hoar, all that could
be settled tomorrow if the question should
arise then. Meantime. in accordance with
the customs of the Senate, after the read
ing OF Washingtons farewell address, he
moved that the Senate adjourn At 1:O5
p. m, without the division, the motion pre-

THE INSURANCE BILL,
considered by the House Subiudiciary
Committee Today.

committee IOday.
The subcommittee on Judiciary of the
house District committee today took up
consideration Of the general fire insurance
Dill TAX Assessor Darneille appeared be-
fore the subcommittee, consisting of
Messrs. Jenkins, Allen, Smith and Sims
The assessor said 1t had been intimated
to him that the bill could not be nassed
with It's provision for a separate insurance
department, headed by a superintendent of
insurance. He was very anxious to have a
general law enacted regulating fire insur-
ance companies doing business in the civ
as the District has no Jurisdiction over q
1Tis anse OF the companies at present.
therefore, In order to make sure of the
passage OF the bill. he recommended thai
the execution of the law should remain
y" WIN n ehe assessors office. By the addition
OF one clerk at 81 800 his Office could do the
business, and the expense of a Separate ds
Part1neht De saved, although. If he had his
cholce, he would like to be relieved of the
Insurance business. VI N'
The subcommittee took a favorable viaw
OF thus proposition and will probably recon-
mend It to the full committee.
Mr. Jenkins said he thought a standard
form of policy should be adopted for the
District of Columbia, and to that end he
submitted the New York Standard noJicV
the bill. pofaeeo III
MI jenkins called attention to the nro-
Vsfon exemptlnS mutual insurance COM
pdntes rom tne requirement of a capftali-
cation OF 100000, as in the case Of otbar
companies. and wondered why this was
proposed He thought it opened the wav
in. eoiiihs
The members of the subcommittee tben
exchanged views upon the section taxing
insurance solicitors. The sentiment of the
subcommittee was decidedly adverse to this
tax. as representations have been MIS-
That 1t would deprive many persons OF a
livelihood. Mr. Jenkins was willing 70 nro-
hloit government clerks soliciting fnsur-
ahce' Out ne did not want to tax the general
run OF solicitors so that they would be
driven out of business " pe
