RESOLUTION PASSED TO AMEND
THE UNITED STATES
CONSTITUTION.
VOTE STOOD Ga TO "a
RRISTOW AMENDMENT WAS LOST
BY A VOTE OF
46 TO 43.

Washington.-The Senate by Ga to
"a passed the resolution amending the
constitution to provide for election of
senators by direct popular vote.
The Bristow amendment giving to
the federal government supervision of
such elections was adopted, "A to "A,
the vice president casting the deciding
ballot
The House already has passed the
resolution.
Senator Reed of Missouri protested
against the vice president casting his
deciding vote.
An amendment by Senator Bacon,
qualifying the Bristow amendment to
prohibit federal supervision of election
unless the state Legislature refused or
failed to act, was defeated, 46 to 43.
The resolution as amended was then
finally adopted, Ga to "a.
Having determined to vote On the
resolution looking to the election of
United States senators by. direct vote
of the people, the Senate devoted it's
throughout the day and when night
fell was in such maze of speechmak-
ing that there was prospect for the
indefiniteS prolongation of the session.
The debate began shortly after noon.
1t drifted into a political affair, Demo
cratic senators criticised Senator Bris-
toW's attitude. Mr.. Bristow framed
the principal amendment in the nature
of substitute to the main prepara-
tion and he sought to continue the
supervision of the senatorial elections
in Congress, instead of deIegating it
House resolution.
The amended resolution now will go
into conference between the Senate
and House and some senators predict
that the House will refuse to accept
it,
The resolution as amended and
passed follows:
THAT in lieu of the first paragraph
of section three of article one of the
constitution of the United States, and
in lieu of so much of paragraph two
of the same section as relates to the
filling of vacancies, the following be
proposed as an amendment to the con-
stitution, which shall be valid to all
intents and purposes on the part of the
constitution when ratified by the legis-
latures of three-fourths of the states:
"The Senate of the United States
shall be composed of two senators
from each state, elected by the peo-
pie thereof, for six years; and each
senator shall have one vote. The cleo
tors in each state shall have the quail
fications requisite for electors of the
most numerous branch of the state
legislatures.
"When vacancies happen in the rep
resentation of any state in the Sen
ate, the executive authority of such
state shall issue writs of election to
fill such vacancies; provided, that the
legislature of any state may empower
the executive thereof to make tempo
rary appointments until the people fill
the vacancies by election as the legis-
lature may direct
This amendment shall not be so
construed as to affect the election or
term of any senator chosen before it
becomes valid as part of the constitu-
ton"

Trains Queer Freak.

To jump from, and then regain the
metals was the queer prank of the
engine of the Brighton and South
Coast train lately. The train was en-
tering the station when the engine left
the rail. The train ran on for ITO
yards, and then the engine remounted
the rails. One hundred of the chairs
upon which the sleepers rest were
broken off, and considerable damage
was done to the permanent way, but
the engine was undamaged and none
of the passengers were hurt.-London
