Washington. Jan. 21.-For three hours today MT. Burnham of New Hampshire addressed the Senate in opposition to the omnibus Statehood bill. Becoming fa- ugued, he suspended his remarks until tomorrow.
 MT. Cullom explained the necessity for considering the Cuban reciprocity treaty and appealed to MT. Quay to permit an executive session. The latter refused and the matter was put to a vote with the re- suit that the Senate refused to go into executive session, s7 to 27, which was the hrst test vote on the Statehood bill
 After Burnham's suspension, Mir Cul- lom appealed to Mir. Quay to permit an executive session for consideration of the Cuban reciprociey treaty The request was not acceded to and Mir. cullom re- marked that he would see if the Senate under the circumstances would ..sit and do nothing and moved an executive ses- sion.

 The regular order then waa demanded by Mir. Quay.
 'Now. Mir. President" said he. ''we are ready for a vote on this bill."
 MT. Nelson was quickly on his feet and declared MT. Quay's course was clearly out of reason, as MT. Burnham had not concluded his remarks
 That question was practically deter. mined by the vote of the Senate" re. marked Mir. Quay.
 He said he was disposed to be coiirte. ous to Mir. Burnham and to listen to his remarks. but if first one Senator and then another opposed to the omnibus bill took up three or four days each 1t was not worth while to push the bill further
 "A conclusion he said, mo matter what it may be. should be reached in view of the important legislation awaiting &C., ton by the Senate.'
 He thereupon said he had no objection to the bill being laid aside until tomor- row, when he would move to take it ur and keep it before the Senate. Then turn. ing to MT. Beverldge, Mir. Quay said:
 T hope the Senator from Indiana will be prepared to put up his men,
