ELECTION
OF ]. S. SENATORS
By 2Se Majority Housed Passed
Rucker Resolution
REPUBLICANS PROTESTED
Former Speaker Cannon Declared
Measure Was Such as to Threaten
Federal Government With Loss Of
Control Over Senatorial Elections
Overwhelming Vote for BilI.

Washington, April 1.-THE house,
by vote of 296 to l6, passed early
Thursday evening the Rucker resolu-
tion. proposing constitutional amend
ment for the direct election OF United
States senators. This is the first of
the democratic program measures
passed by the house. Backed by a
solid democratic phalanx, 1t went
through without modification and with
a speed that brought protests from
the republicans.
The resolution, as the house ap-
proved ii, is In the form OF the Borah
resolution reported out OF the senate
judiciary committee during the last
days Of the last congress.
Mr.. McDermott, OF Illinois, was the
only democrat voting against the reso-
luton.
Former Speaker Cannon, Republi-
can Leader Mann and others of the
republicans who voted against the
measure declared that its form was
such as TO threaten the federal gov
ernment with the loss OF the control
over senatorial elections. They in
sisted. as did other republicans who
ultimately voted for the resolution,
that the direct election amendment
should be offered without any Ian
guage attached that might be danger
GUS TO the future congressional super
vision Of senatorial elections.
Democratic leaders declared that
the Rucker resolution was open TO no
such construction, and that il offered
the most nearly perfect constitutional
amendment that could be devised. An
amendment offered by Rep sentative
Young. OF Michigan. adding language
that resembled that of the Sutherland
amendment, adopted In the senate two
months ago. was defeated by a party
vote OF l21 10 1870.
The republican insurgents. led by
Representatives Lenroot and Cooper.
OF Wisconsin. forced a record vote on
the final passage OF the resolution.
The house voted Overwhelmingly I'm
favor OF the measure when Speaker
Clark called for the viva voce vote;
but the insurgents demanded a roll
call, in order to put the house on
record on the subject. The democrats
quickly seconded this demand.

vent firing into Douglas. Diaz was
attended by the Rurales Chief Barron

the Mexican border line
under any circumstances; If necessary
to communicate across the line do il
by civilians" was the purport of in

General Wood. commanding the army.
TO the army command in Texas. This
explains the use OF two civilians in
carrying a message to the Mexican
federal commander from Colonel
Skunk. commanding the United States
troops at Aqua Prieta.
General Wood has telegraphed in
structions that IL either the federal
or insurrecto troops of Mexico enter
American territory they are to be dis
armed and held and that everything
possible must be done TO preserve
neutrality. He has sent, through the
army officers. warning to the people
OF Doasias to keep away from where
the firing is going on. Adyices re-
ceiyed here say that it is reported that
the insurgents have built trenches
