Washington, Feb. 23-Today's ses-
sion of the senate was unusually in
teresting from the very beginning. In
spite of vigorous and influential op-
position, Mr.. Penrose of Pennsylvania
succeeded in getting the Quay case be-
fore the senate and during the after
noon three notable speeches were de-
livered.
After a sharp parliamentary SQUAD
bic. Mr. Penrose moved that the reso-
luton involving the seating of Mr..
Quay be taken up for consideration.
On an aye and no vote the motion pre-
vailed-34 to Is.
The majority was so decisive as to
cause some surprise 1t is known that
some senators who viii vote if the
opportunity be offered. to seat Mr.
Quay, today voted against the consid-
Grafton of the case, while on the con-
traTy others who voted for cOnSidera-
ton probably VIII vote against seating
him. The vote cannot therefore be re-
garded as test of Mr.. Quay's abso-
Lutte strength in the senate.
Following the taking up of the reso-
luton, Mr. Daniel (Dem, Na) deliv-
cred speech in which he vigorously
supported Mr.. QUay's right to d seat.
Mr.. Vest (Dem., MOI and Mr.. For
