Washington. April IL. Some re-
marks which Senator Depew, Of New
York, made Thursday concerning the
proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton providing for the election Of sem
ators by popularsvote, in the course of
which he adVerted to southern cleo
ton methods, precipitated a lively
three hours debate in he.senate Fri
day. Senator Money (Miss.), to whose
state reference had been made by the
New York senator, replied tartly to-
pew, and defended the suffrage clauses
in the Mississippi constitution. Sen
ator Depew made a warm reply and
attacked the election methods not only
of Mississippi but of several other
southern states. He intimated thatif
fair methods were employed in those
states republican senator's would be
here as their representatives. His re-
marks drew a sharp fire from several
senator's. Senator. Money and his col
league, Senator McLaurin, explained
Mississippi election methods, and Sen
ator Simmons IN. Co. pointed out that
Senator Depew had been entirely mis-
taken about the operation of the con-
stitution of that state, and that his
statements were erroneous. Senator
Blackburn Ky warmly arraigned the
New York senator for his comments
on Kentucky elections, defended what
is known as the Goebel election
law, and asserted that the New York
senator was not informed as to the
facts of Kentucky politics. When the
Chinese exclusion bill was taken up
an agreement was reached that vote
should be taken on it next Wednesday
at one o'clock. Senator Teller (Col.)
supported the measure in a brief
speech, maintaining that it was nee
essary, and that it was not in con-
travention of our treaty obligations
with China.
Washington, April 12.-Debate on
the Cuban reciprocity bill continued in
the house Friday, the principal
speeches being made by Mr.. Long
(Kan:), member of the ways and
means committee, who from the first
ardently supported the proposition
for reciprocity and who originally ia
vored a reduction of 40 per cent, and
by Mr.. Shafroth (Col.), who vigorous
~ opposed the bill on the ground that
the sugar trust, which, he said, was
waging war of determination against
the beet sugar industry, would be it's
chief beneficiary. The leaders of the
9house, who have been much worried
as to the outcome of the controversy,
were considerably relieved. Friday
when Mr.. Watson (nd.) who is acting
as the republican whip on this occa-
sion, Informed them that after care
full canvass he was positive that when
the attempt was made to overrule the
chair in order to make way for an
amendment to abolish the differentia]
on refined sugar the chair would be
sustained. On both sides it is con-
coded that the uncertainty regarding
the fate Of the bill hinges upon the
question of overruling the chair. De-
spite Mr.. Watson's canvass there are
those among the opponents of the. bill
who still contend that they will win
the victory.
Would Accept Amendments.
Washington, April 12.-The house
committee on agriculture in order to
expedite the bills passage has de.
cided to recommend the acceptance of
the senate amendments to the cleo.
margarine bill. The opponents of the
bill believe there are parliamentary
difficulties still in the way of the final
disposition of the measure, notwith.
standing Fridays action It is claimed
that as the senate amendments make
changes in the revenues they cannot
be concurred in until the house has
considered them in committee of the
whole. This. it is claimed, will require
special rule and the opponentso Of the
bill claim to have ground for belief
that this special rule will not be
given. & -=
