SENATE REFUSES TO
ADOPT CLOTURE RULE
Try Associated rress.1

WASHINGTON. February 1s.-There
was lively debate In the Senate to-day
upon Senator Quay's resolution dec'arir s
It to be the sense o. the Senate that the e
should be vote on the statehood ill
before the adjournment Of Congress. To
this proposition Senator McComas re-
offered Senator Platt's cioture resolution,
introduced two years ago. and motirn
was made to refer the whole proposition
to the Committee on Rules. This was
pending when the Senate went into ex-
ec,itlve session.
The discussion of the subject brought
out the fact that the Senate was strong
" opposed to cloture in any form. The
debate was very general, a dozen S"ra-
tors expressing their oninion uron the
subject. Among the Senators who ex-
pressed themselves against the c'ot"re
were Meesrs. Spooner. Teller. Cockrell.
Lodge and Bacon.
Mr. Bacon expressed the opinion that
the debate had been profitable and he
thought finally put at rest the question
whether the Senate will adopt cloture.
The resolution went over without ac-
ton. as several Senators desire to ex-
press their yiews.

J WASHINGTON. D. c.. Feb. ls.-Tho
House to-day by a majority Of 2 to /
rejected tho conference report upon the
army appropriation bill. because OF the
provisions 1t contained for the retire
iment OF Civil War officers at AN adj
vanoed grade, and for permitting officers
to deposit money with the government
at three per cent. Interest. The House
emphatically voted against both prop
ositions. and sent the bill back to con
ference. The proceedings upon the con-
ference report were enlivened by sharp
passage between Mr.. Hull. Of Iowa, and
MIR. slayden, Of Texas. The remainder
Of the day was devoted to the naval
bill. but slow progress was made. only
twenty pages being considered.
Mr.. Hay Of Virginia. one Of the con-
ferees on the army BILL strenuously OPP
posed tho adoption of the report, be-
cause Of the above provisions. He char
actelized 1t as ''paternalism run mad"
Mr.. Slayden. OF Texas, charged Mr..
Hull with bad faith in not giving the
House chance for direct vote on the
deposit amendment. He said Mr.. Hull
had promised such vote.

Is cheap form of debate which permits

Mr.. Mann. ~ Illinois. said he WIS sur
prised that Mr.. Slayden should use an
expression 'far worse than that employed
by MFR. Hull"

to me-" replied Mr.. Slayden. who pro-
ceeded to say that only very strong
provoca,tion Ped induced him to say what
he had
Mr.. Cannon protested against the man
ner in which appropriation bills were
loaded by the Senate with all sorts of
legislative provisions that were not In
order.
"In the House." said he. I'VE legislate
under rules. In another body (the Sen
ate) they legislate by unanimous consent.
Gentlemen. know what that means
