this afternoon. The rule to prevent
the discussion desired by the democrats
mad been passed by party vote. Mr..
Richardson, floor leader, then an.
nounoed as debate would be fruitless
and as every one was for the bill, he
asked unanimous consent that the bill
be placed upon its passage at once.
His suggestion caused a sensation on
the republican side, but was accepted,
amid laughter and applause. The bill
was then passed unanimously by yea
and nay vote.
In the quickest time on record for a
treaty OF such magnitude and far reach
lug Importance the Senate this after
noon ratified the treaty for the purchase
oil the Danish West Iudias. The exc
cutive session lasted only one hour aud
a nall. There was no opposition and
the time was occupied principally in
the reading OF the document and in q
brief resume OF its provisions presented
by Senator Cullom. 1t was not even
deemed necessary to call the ayes and
nays upon the question OF ratification
when the motion was made it was car.
ried without dissenting voice.
