Food for DeSate.
Washington, Dec. 19.-Whether the
senate is warranted in %censuring a
senator convicted in a court of miscon-
duct and not assigning him to a place
on standing committees, yet leaving
his name on the senate rolls, was dis
cussed for two hours yesterday by the
senate and then dropped without a rul-
ing on the question. Several senate
leaders took up the subject. On ac-
count of the delicacy of the question
the debate naturally was not as open
as would be necessary for final de-
termination of the matter.
Mr.. Bailey raised the point by in
curing of Mr.. Hale when the latter
presented the new list of standing
committees whether every senator had
been provided with 81 place. MI. Hale
replied that every senator except Mr..
Burton of Kansas haa been given as.
signments, and he had been left off
the committees at his own request un-
til the charges against him had been
disposed of by the courts. Mr.. Mailey
protested against any senator's name
being kept on the roll unless he was
given work to Go. anG argued hat it
is the duty Of the senate to itself, to
Kansas and to the country, to investi-
gate the charges against Mr.. Burton
and determine whether he is entitled
to a seat in the senate.
Insurance, hazing, the suffering Rus
Sian Jews and immigration were all

Gray, it is alleged; peddled the ar
