OAkEY AND GLYNN FOR MARSHALL
Opposed Bringing Him Before Bar on Charge of Contempt
Especial 10 the Herald.


 Washington, June 22-Members of the Connecticut delegation in the house do not favor action against United States Attorney Snowden Marshall of New York, who is charged with contempt of the house of rep resentatives by reason of criticism voiced by him concerning a special committee of the house that went to New York to investigate charges of impeachment against Marshall.
 Representative Oakley and Glynn voted agaist a resolution to bring Marshall before the bar of the house on the contempt charge. Represen- tative Hill voted "present," being paired on the question. Representa- tives Tilson and Freeman did not vote, being absent, from the city.
 To Curtail Debate.
 Senator Brandegee Of Connecticut is much interested in the proposition to curtail debate in the senate under certain circumstances. He says that he will devote his best attention to the matter. The proposition before the senate is as follows
 That if 16 senators present to the senate at any time a signed motion to bring to a close the debate upon any pending measure, the presiding officer shall at once state the motion to the senate and at the close of the . morning hour on the following calen- dar day lay the motion before the sefste and direct that the secretary call the roll, and upon the ascertain ment that quorum is present the chair shall, without debate, submit to %1aac tn IlIvo question:
 "Is it the sense of the senate that the debate shall be brought to closer"
 And if that question shall be decid- ed in the affirmative by a two-thirds vote of those voting: then said meas ure shall be in order to the exclusion of all other business, except a motion to recess or adjourn.
 Thereafter no senator shall be en- titled to speak more than one hour on the bill, the amendments thereto, and motions affecting the same, and it shall be the duty of the chair to keep the time of each senator who speaks. No dilatory motions shall be in order, and all points of order and appeals froras the decision of the chair shall be decided without debate.
 Brandegee Talks.
 When it came up Senator Brande- gee made a few remarks which re- ceived the approval of Senator Smith Of Georgia, in charge of the resolu- ton, as is shown by the following eolloquoy:
 MT. Brandegee: MT. President, I do not wish to debate the question now, of course, for I realize it is not up for consideration, but I want to say to the senator very briefly that as he read the resolution it impressed me that one of it's serious defects is that, even if it should be the desire of the senate to curtail debate upon the vote of tWo-thirds of it's members, To limit each senator to the period of 0na hour on the main bill, whatever may be, and all amendments, seems to me to be dangerous thing to agree C. I call the senator's attention to 3 situation that frequently happens: After a very important measure has been considered for days and unani- nous consent has been obtained for a.>yote on it, and all the pending amendment have been disposed of some senator may arise and propose an entirely new bill as a substitute. Bringing up entirely new features, upon which there has been no discus sion whatever, and it might very probably happen, under the terms of the resolution as it is now framed, that when senators are ready to vote on measure which they have de- Dated for weeks and an entirely new proposition may be thrust upon them, hey have gagged themselves, and haging exhausted their hour can not say a word.
 MT. Smith of Georgia I am glad
