The Republican members of the Senate
committee on privileges and elections were
IN consultation during the afternoon over
the resolution which u was proposed TO
bring to the attention of the Senate to-mor-
row through she committee provided for
the suspension OF the two South Carolina
senators. None of the senators present at
the conference would consent TO disclose
the details OF their proceedings, but 1t was
learned I'm a general way that considerable
doubt was expressed by some Of the men,
bers as TO the regularity Of the suggested
proceeding, some Of the senator's holding
that the suspension OF senators. even by
the Senate itself. would be subject TO criti-
clsm. The feeling was quite general that
the problem is a difficult and intricate one,
and the opinion was expressed that II
would be impossible to formulate line OF
action that could be put into execution at
so early a date as tomorrow. Senators
Burrows and Foraker were appointed a
subcommittee TO consult authorities and
suggest a form OF proceeding either in the
line proposed or on other lines.

TOP PRICE WAS $3.50

Light hog receipts continue to be the
rule and the market keeps slipping down.
The slump yesterday did not shock the
sellers ike it did the previous day. and
the buyers just modestly demanded five
cents Of. That was considered very con
servative after the decline Of twenty
cents the previous day. The average
quality was fairly good and all offerings,
except one carload, that arrived late,
were sold. They would have been taken.
hut the seller had his idea TOO high for
the buyers. What the market will do in
the near future cannot be foretold. but
there was an element of weakness in the
market yesterday even at the decline and
buyers just bought the hogs as if they
considered it an unpleasant duty and each
buyer seemed pleased when some of the
other fellows took the hogs. The active
competition that is witnessed when the
markets are going up, was not in evil
dence yesterday.
