NAMES AGAIN ON THE ROLL
President of Senate Apologies to Mr. Turner for Overlooking His Appeal From Ruling of the
 Chair on Monday.

Washington. February 27.-Under spe- okel order the Senate convened at 1:45 a. m in order that it might attend in body the services in memory of the late President Mckinley, held in the hall of the House of Representatives at F O clock
 MT. Frye, the president pro tenn, said that by his direction on last Monday the clerk had not called the names of the two Senators from South Carolina they being in contempt of the body. On Tues day, he said he had directed the clerk to restore the names to the roll in the event of a roll call. He had done this, not be- cause he doubted the propriety of his ac- tion on Monday, but because a very grave question was involved which he desired to submit to the Senate itself.
 MT Frye said that the Senator from Washington, Mir. Turner, had taken an appeal from the decision of the chair OF Monday but amid the cloud of points of order and objections he. Frye, had over looked and forgotten the appeal and had proceeded with other business. For this forgetfulness he begged the pardon of the Senator from Washington. Had he done such thing wilfufly, . said. he newer could have forgiven himself.
 Could Not Hear TiIlman.
 BGp. Frye said he had received a letter from the senior Senator from South Carolina, MT Tillman, requesting that he be heard on a question of highest privi- lege. The chair could not entertain such a request tn the circumstances without the unanimous consent of the Senate, But at the proper time-perhaps tomor- row-saoh request might be entertained.
 MT. Turner called attention to the fact that he had asked that the protest of the senior Senator from South Carolina be spread upon the minutes. He had desired. he said, to mRist upon this request on Monday. but had been cut off by points of order and by motion that the Senate go into executive session. Since that time two adjournments of the Senate had interfered with the performance of his duty.
 Mr. Turner maintained that the filing officially of such protests was in accord ance with the custom of the British par Hament and with the best parliamentary practice of this country upon any question d
 ''The senator Is right" said the chair man, "and the protest will be spread upon the minutes without objection
 It was so ordered.
 Burrows Objected.
 MT Burrows, Michigan. chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, said at the proper time an opportunity might be afforded the senior senator from South Carolina to make his statement of privileges but just now he felt constrain- sd to object.
 MT. Hoar suggested that the protest spread upon the minutes be referred to the committee on privileges and elec- uons.
 q have no objection" said MT. Turner.
 MT. Bacon, Georgia said the protest was not a matter for further action by the Senate. It certainly was a question of too great importance to dispose of has, tily.
 MT. Hoar oontended that the protest was in the nature of petition and ought therefore to be referred to a commit tee. He did not insist upon his sugges- ton, however, in view of the doubt in Mir Bacon's mind.
 The Senate then at 1e:oa adioarned until tomorrow.
