Washington. Feb. q. - Yesterdays
session of the senate was unusually
interesting from the very beginning.
In spite of vigorous and influential OPP
position Mr.. Penrose OF Pennsylvania
succeeded in getting the Quay ques-
ton before the senate. and during the
afternoon three notable speeches were
delivered. After n sharp parliament
tary squabble Mr.. Pc1rosc moved that
the resolution involving the seating Of
Mr.. Quay be taken up for considera-
ton. On an aye and noe vote the
motion prevailed, 81 to %. The ma
jority was so decisive as to cause
some surprise. 1t is known that some
senators will vote, if the opportunity
be offered, against seating Mr.. Quay,
who voted for taking up the case yes
terday, while, on the contrary. some
who voted against it, will vote to seat
him. So the vote cannot be taken as
Indicating test of strength. In TAX
ing up the resolution Mr.. Daniel of
Virginia delivered a speech in which
he vigorously supported Mr.. Quay's
right to 4 seat. MIR. Vest of Missouri
and Mr.. Foraker of Ohio delivered
notable speeches ancnt the Hawaiian
government bill. Both were constitu-
tional arguments. Mr.. Foraker's being

The House.
An agreement was reached in the
house yesterday that the vote on the
Porto Rican tariff bill be taken up mt 9
y. M. next Tuesday, general debate to
close Monday.
The speech of Mr.. I4ittlefield Of
Maine was the feature of the day. He
added to his laurels won in the Rob
erts debate by a speech against the
bill, which for brilliancy. wit and logic
rivals the best efforts of the recognized
orators OF the house. He made pro-
found impression, and when he con-
Guided it was several minutes before
the demonstration that followed could
be quellcd. Among the others who
spoke were Messrs. Jones of Virginia
and Maddox of Georgia, against the
bill. and Mcssrs. Russell of Connccti-

the Hawaiian government bill.
The discussion took wide range, but
the basis of it was an amendment Of
fcred by Mr.. Platt of Connecticut, pro-
viding that the president should ap-
point the chief justice and justices Of
the supreme court and judges of the
circuit courts. and that the governor
of the territory should appoint the 9TH
er officers; the amendment limiting
the tenure Of Office Of appointees to
four years. MI. Tillman of South
Carolina embraced the opportunity to
make a speech in the course of which
he made an attack on Mr.. Morgan of
Alabama, and vigorously opposed
many provisions of the bill, particu-
larry those which related to suffrage.
