TO RENEW THE FIGHT TO-DAY
With the suavity which characterizes his every
move Mr.. Quay Immediately announced that he
would be glad to consent to the introduction ana

friends desired to offer. When this had peen
done, he demanded the regular order Now
Mr. President" said he. I'VE are ready for a
vote this bill.
Mr. Nelson was quickly on his feet. and de-
clared that Mr.. Quay's course was entirely out
Of reason. as Mr. Burnham had not finished his
remarks.
.rrbat question was practically determined by
the vote Of the Senate remarked Mr.. Quay.
He said he was disposed to be courteous to Mr..
Burnham and to listen to his remarks. but II

the Omnibus bill took up three or four days
each it was not worth while to push the bill
further "A conclusion" said he no matter
what it may be, should be reached, in view of
the important legislation awaiting action by the
Senate" He said he had no objection to the bill
being laid aside until tomorrow. when he would

said: Il hope the Senator from Indiana will be

THE SITUATION IN THE SENATE.
To rnany members of the Senate present

Senator'S Lodge, Fairbanks and several others
are anxious to secure the passage of the I'm
migration bill but strong pressure is being ex-

it, would be left the calendar, crowded out
by the prolonged Statehood fight. with great
complacency, and there are numerous Senators
in both parties who regard minimum or anti
