 Quarrel Over Quay Case
 Scarcely had the Porto Rican measure been disposed of when quite unexpectedly serious snarl over the case of former Senator Quay arose.
 Acting under the unanimous consent agreement reached on March Is that the Quay case should be taken up today.
 Subject to the consideration of appro- prlatlon bills, conference reports, the pres ent unfinished business and senate hill 23J5,' the Spooner bill as to the govern memt of the Philippines, MT. Lodge moved that the Spooner Dill be made the unfin- dshed business. This objected to by the friends of MT. Quay, and Mir Vol cott. republican, moved to adjourn. The MT. Lodge then renewed his motion. It was antagonized by MT. Chandler, and after some further discussion MT. Wolcott again moved to adjourn, the motion being de- feated, % to 31. It became evident that there was fight on and the senators en- gagged in the controversy manifested much feeling. The whole question of the unan- tmous consent agreement was gone into the entire debate upon it being read Mr Chandler then asked Mr Lodge a question about the construction he placed upon the agreement and the Massachusetts senator replied: 'I am not engaged in placing con- structions upon unanimous consents am acting within my rights to make this mo- tion and the friends of MT. Quay refuse to permit 1t to be voted upon"
 Wanted Their Dinners
 MT. Wolcott referred to the long hours In sire of senators to get their frugal din- ners," and moved an executive session
 Tt is perfectly obvious," interjected MT. Lodge, that I can attain no good by de- calming the senate. The purpose of MT. Quay's friends is plain. That is all I de- sire to show. I have no objection to the senate either \ adjourning or going into executive session, but consider the unan- mous consent agreement at an end"
 - do not know how the senator from Massachusetts classifies himself" retorted MT. Wolcott, whether as a friend or . . an enemy of Mir. Quay. It is hard to tell who are his friends or who are his enemies But when any suggestion or intimation Is made that there is any unworthy or un- righteous purpose in pressing the consider Ation of that case as a matter of highest privileges the person who makes that state- ment goes far out of his way to state that which Is unqualifiedly false"
 Mr. Lodge-"I made no charge against any one. said that I had been deprived of tho right which thought I clearly had am not going to press it, and I am no, going to hold the senate, and if the unani. mous consent agreement does not hold oi course that Is the end of it. Of course il cannot be binding In one case and not bind- Ing in aN."
 MT. Chandler-"Unanmous consents would better come to an end if they mean what senators now declare them to mean With the situation still strained and sen- ators looking pale and serious the senate
