DELAY IN THE QUAY Case
The Senate Again Fails TO Agree
Upon Time for Vote.
MIR. Chandler to Call the Matter Up
Todny-The Indian Appropriation
Amendment-Tbc Alaskan Measure
and other Matters Considered.

The Quay case was called up in the SEN
ate yesterday at the conclusion OF the
routine morning business, and Mr.. Bur
rows, who was expected to proceed with
his argument at that time. stated that he
was not prepared 10 do so, but that he
would be ready on Wednesday Of next
week. Mr.. Penrose appealed to the Sen
ate and Mr.. Burrows for the prompt dis
position OF the case, which he said has
already been pending too long.
Mr.. Stewart said he thought that in
view Of the recent unanimous consent
agreement Mr.. Burrows request that the
case go over was unusual and unreason-
able. The Senator has had months in
which to prepare his speech and now he
wants more months" said Mr.. Stewart.
In accordance with suggestion by Alr.
McComas, Mr.. Chandler asked that ySte
be taken next Saturday at p. m.
Mr.. Plat OF Connecticut said he did not
care to agree 10 that request, although he
thought IL possible a vote might be taken
then, or even before that time.
Mr.. Chandler in view OF a statement by
Mr.. Aldrich that the business of the Sen
ate would be facilitated by the fixing Of q
date for a vote upon the case, then asked
tina; it be -taEeu two weeks from today at
p. m.
Mr.. Burrows said that personally he had
no objection, but that he had just received
a telegram from an absent Senator who
desired TO participate in the discussion,
and who would be here today.
Mr.. Penrose asked Mr.. Burrows 10 state
the name of the Senator who had wired
him TO that effect.
Mr.. Burrows declined to give the name,
but after some further colloquy said he
would withdraw his objection.
The objection was renewed by Mr. Jones
OF Arkansas, who said he could not see that
6 delay of twenty -four hours would make
any difference in the fixing OF a vote sev-
eral weeks ahead, and the resolution as 10
Mr.. Quay's right 10 a seat in the S-nate
went over without action, Mr.. Chandler
giving notice that today he wculd make the
same request as TO fixing time for the
final vote.
The Indian Appropriation bill was then
taken up, the question being on the
amendment offered by Mr. Jones Of Ar
kansas, authorizing contracts for Indian
pupils at contract schools for the fiscal
year 1901.
This amendment which raised the whole
question OF Government support Of sec
tartan schools resulted Saturday al
spirited debate. The Senate reached a
vote on It late that afternoon, but rs the
vote disclosed the absence OF quorum, an
adjournment was taken, leaving The
