their gateway have taken up internal
improvement plans for the territory be-
tween Chicago and the Rocky noun

WASHINGTON, April 16.-During the
morning hour in the senate Mr.. Berry
(Ark.) directed attention to the fact
that the house of representatives had
adopted resolution in favor of election
Of senators by the people, and he ap-
pealed to the committee on privileges
and elections, to which his resolution
for an amendment to the constitution
providing for the election Of senators by
direct vote had been referred to present
a report, either in favor of or against
the resolution. He regarded it as one
of the most important questions before
the country.
Mr.. Chandler, chairman of the CON-
mittee on privileges and elections, said
the committee had been very much en-
gagged thus far this session.
"But now that the opinion of the SEN
ator from Arkansas has been reinforced
by action of the house, doubtless the
committee will Immediately proceed to
consider the subject"
Mr.. Chandler said that personally he
was opposed to the election of senators
by the people, but he would be glad to
have the question considered.
