Washington. April 23.-Although by the unani-
nous consent agreement reached several weeks
ago the Senate is to vote at O'Clock tomorrow
on the resolution denying to Mr.. Quay
his recess appointment title, the outcome of the
fight to force the Pennsylvania claimants ad-
mission seems still doubtful ever. There
is no certainty indeed that a direct vote will be
reached the validity of Mr.. Quay's creden-
tials- Under the existing agreement Mr.. Quay's
opponents distinctly reserved the parliamentary
right TO offer motion to postpone the resolu
ton indefinitely or to kill II by laying II the
table A clean cut trail of strength is more prob
able. however. and a standup count IL is not
clear which side Will have the final majority.
At the beginning of the session the Quay man
ayers were predicting a reversal of the verdict
of the Committee Privileges and Elections by
at least ten majority. So many tactical blunders
have been made. however. In the conduct of Mr..
sQuays case that various reputed supporters Of
the Pennsylvania leaders title have been driven
into an attitude of neutrality and indifference.
1t is plain at least. that Mr.. Quay cannot be
seated unless Unexpectedly large number of
Senators who voted reject Mr.. COrbett'S title
views and help TO validate exercise Of power
which in 1898 they emphatically denied to the
Governor of Oregon
The two chief speeches made to-day on the
Quay resolution came from Senators Chandler
and Platt, of Connecticut, one defending and the
other assailing Mr. Quays cam to admission.
Mr.. Kenney, Of Delaware, and Mr.. Penrose, of
Pennsylvania also spoke In favor of seat ting Mr.
Quay and Mr. Quares, of Wisconsin, in opposi-
ton. If Mr.. Quay is admitted, the Governor of
Delaware has expressed his intention to give Mr.
