ELECTION OF SENATORS By THE POPU.
LAR VOTE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The House
Committee on the Election of Presi-
dent and Vice-President to-day
agreed to favorably report a joint
resolution containing an amendment
to the constitution providing for the
election of United States Senators
by direct vote of the people. Sew
eral joint resolutions OF this char
acter have been introduced in the
House this session.
Chairman Corliss stated to-day
that the proposition had the approval
of the Legislatures of thirty-two
different States whose resolutions
were before the committee.
The Senate Committee on Priv
leges and Elections held It's first
meeting at noon to-day and this
body also took up the subject of the
election of Senators by the popular
vote.
Six States, through their Legisla-
lures, have formally asked Congress
to summon a constitutional oOnven-
tion to take up the subject Of popu
lar election of Senators, If thirty
States make this request Congress
has nothing to do but to call the
convention.
The matter was taken up infOr-
mally before the committee to-day.
Some interesting discussions ensued.
Several members of the committee
expressed the opinion that thirty
States must request the convention
in a single Congress, but the majority
appeared to think it was only neces-
sary for thirty States in the aggre-
gate to make the request, regard
less of whether it was made in the
existing Congress or in preceding
ones.
The committee for the first time
has a majority in favor in favor of
popular election of Senators The
chairman, Senator Burrows, has
long been an ardent advocate of the
change, and the Legislature of his
State is one of those which has asked
Congress to call the convention.

sCHLEY's APPEAL BEFORE THE PRRsI.
DENT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Admiral
Schley's appeal was presented to
TO President Roosevelt this after
noon. Is contains, including ex-
oerpts from the testimony, about
35, 600 words. The argument itself
is about 5000 words in length. II
embodies all the points made in the
original protest to Secretary Long
and many others in addition. The
appeal was taken to the White House
by Mr.. M. A. league of Admiral
SOhley's counsel.
Speculation on President Roose-
velt's action upon Admiral Schley's
appeal has a free hand to-day. The
fact is that the President can do al
most as he pleAses. As commander
in-ohief Of the army and navy, Pres
ident Roosevelt may approve a ma
jority report of the court as endorsed
by Secretary Long; he may differ
with their findings, and expressing
himself, abruptly close the case, al
lowing the report of the court to
stand upon the Navy Department
records, but with his comment ao-
campaigning it; or he may disap-
prove of the verdict and order the
court to amend its report in accord
ance with his views.
It is the general opinion here,
however, that the President will do
nothing without first consulting the
cabinet. The personality of the
master of the White House makes
forecasts of his probable action diff
cult, but on a question of such i'm.
portance it is believed that he will
at least obtain the opinion of his
official family before taking the final
step.
