time of the senate in explanation ana
defence of the course Of the admins
tration relative to the Moroccan con-
ference at Algeciras, Spain, and In
connection with Santo Domingo. the

the speeches Of Senator Bacon ana
Senator Tillman, and its purpose was
to justify the presidents act In poth
matters under discussion. There were
frequent Interruptions by Senator Till
man and some sharp exchanges Of re-
nsrtee between him and Senator
Spooner. Once or twice Senator Spoon
er showed that he was annoyed ana
once he made serious protest against
Senator Tillman's imputation that MS
appearance in the case was tnaI Oh
special advocate for the administra-
tion. There were also Interruptions oy
Senators Bacon, Morgan and other SEN
ators. In the Moroccan matter Senator
Spooner contended that the president
had merely followed precedent In ap-
pointing delegates and said that II ne
had failed to do so he would have been
guilty of dereliction Of duty, while In
the case Of Santo Domingo he asserted
that the president had made no eHort
to carry the treaty between Santo
Domingo and the United States into
effect In advance OF its ratification by
the senate. Senator Culberson foilo"-
ed Senator Spooner with a br1et
speech, in which he said that the pres

Washinton, January "a: When
the smoke of the liveliest legislative
battle of the session has cleared
away in the house. Speaker Cannon
and his organization were In com
plete control and the joint-statehood
program Of the administration had
been adopted. Forty-three Repuoh-
can "Insurgents" went down in de-
feat, having allotted vainly with the
Democrats to gain control and rule
the term which should govern the
statehood bill in its passage through
the house. The vote ordering pre-
vious question, on rule was, 1872 ayes
to 165 noes. This clearly defeated
the opposition the full strength OF
which was polled, and little interest
was taken on the vote for the adop-
ton of the rule, which Immediately
followed and was carried by ma
iority of thirty. The rule adopted
provides that the bill granting state
hood of Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory, as Oklahoma" and Arizo-
ma and New Mexico as Arizona,
should be debated until o'clock
tomorrow and then voted on without
opposition or amendment. Previous
to the vote the debate on rule pro-
ceeded under the highest tension.
Speeches were short, but words ut
tered were hot and full OF sting.
Every member who could be brought
to the city by special summons was
in his place. The galleries were
packed and participated with evident
relish in the succession Of laughter
and applause. The veterans, Payne,
Dalzell and Grosvenor upheld the
organization. Pitted against them
were leaders of the insurgents"
