Vile discussion a. In stgnt ana IL Is
expected that q compro-
mise resolution offered by Senator For

days session will be adopted.
Mr.. Foraker had the floor. to make
what. he expressed the hope. would
be the concluding speech on the sub
ject.
Mr. Foraker offered q substitute
for all OF his previous resolutions on
the Brownsville affair. AZ follows:

Tor persons and papers. to administer
oaths, to sit during the session OF
the senate, and 4 deemed advisable. at

OF the contingent fund Of the senate
Provision Causes Laughter.
The language Of this provision Is sat
isfactory to Senator Lodge and other
supporters of the administration In
the matter OF the discharge of the negro
troops and 1t Is believed by senator's
that 1t will be unanimously accepted.
A feature of today's debate was the
araignment by Senator Cafmack OF
republican senator's who have crit
icised the president for his action in
ttA A>l
1t as an attempt to unthrone the pres
ident as the leader Of the party and
declared that either the president must
be renominated or the platform on
which he stood returned to the demo-
Gratis.
Senator's Stone, Money and Knox fol-
lowed, each upholding the authority OF
the president to take the action he did
and favoring an investigation OF the
facts connected with the Brownsville
ARRAY. Senator Foraker started to
make his closing speech. but before he
concluded the senate adjourned for
the day, leaving him In possession OF
the floor.
Senator Carmack announced that he
heartily supported the president in his
action in discharging the negro troops
taking the same position met his per-
sonal views.
carmack Supports President.
Il think it proper to say that any
report that senators may have heard
that the president personally solicited
my support in this matter; that h
urged me to forgive and forget Ger.
tain personal remarks and begged ms
to stand by him and those twin enc
mics OF his administration, the sena
tors from South Carolina and Ohio. \

Carmack. Nor is it true that I hav
been given to undertake the presi

fatuated devotion to the man. I hav
a great admiration for the strong
brave. large minded gentleman. tn
secretary of war. My admiration TO
the president is more temperate ant

is no senator. always with the excep
ton of my friend from South Carolin;
(Mr. Tillman.) who is less hkely thai
myself to be suspected of excessiv

sshe< fact that the person supposed

a favor at his hands, but with suprem
