END is NOW IN SIGHT
Brownsville Debate Near a Finish
Carmack Arraigns Republicans.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Senate lead
ers regard the end of the Brownsville
discussion in sight, and it is confident
ly expected that a compromise resolu-
ton offered by Foraker just before
the close Of the session will be adopt
ed. Foraker had the floor to make
what he expressed the hope would be
the concluding speech on the subject.
Whether he speaks today or tomorrow
1t Is expected that a vote will soon
follow, although 1t is possible that 9TH
er brief speeches may be made before
the end is reached.
The feature Of the debate was the
arraignment by Carmack of Repub-
lican senators who have criticised the
president for his action in the Browns
vile matter. He regarded it as an at
tempt to "dethrone" the president as
the Aleader of the party, and declared
that either the president must be re-
nominated or the platform on which he
stood returned to the Democrats.
Stone Money and Knox followed, each
unfolding the authority Of the presi-
dent to take the action he did and ia
voring an investigation of the facts
connected with the Brownsville ARRAY.
Carmack's speech was long, but
mighty interesting to his hearers. At
one point he paid his respects to the
president as follows: L think 1t prop
er to say that any report that senators
may have heard that the president per-
sonally solicited my support in this
matter, that he urged me to forgive
md forget certain energetic personal
remarks and begged me TO stand be-
tween him and those twin enemies of
his administration, the senators from
South Carolina and. Ohio, is gross
exaggeration. will not say that it is
an Infamous falsehood, because such
language belongs to the vocabulary of
presidential controversy rather than
that senatorial debate.
