Vasiii.ito, Oct 18. In lliecnnta
.Vustenluy nfternnoti .Mr. Morgun,
Doin HTat of Al&bsuni, in replying to
Seniilor Hill's remarks in frivor of
counting a quorum, salil lie wus not
fcurprisoil that the senator from Now
York (Mr. Hill) h:ul championed the
ru ings of the house tiiieauxu he was
ttK unfortunate Instrument when ho
r'n."i.lod over the senate of New York
In tlio Introduction of the heresy, not
only Into the Dciuocrut i.irtj and its
traditions, but also Into tlio constitu
tion il rights of legislative bodies. Ho
culle 1 it heresy becuiie to his mi nil
obviously it wasth.it tlio majority of
n leg slative body", ho suid, could take
care of itso'.f.
"Does tlio majority here takocaroof
itsulf?" asked .Mr. Washburn
"I will inform thn gentleman," re
plied Mr. .Morgan, "that lu hiniholf
has sometimes been in the majority
(leferring to Iheiintl-optlon bill) when
he wni not able to take care of him
self." "I have always besn able to t akc
care of myself in this body anil else
where," haul Mr. Washburn shnrplv.
'I have not n-cn it so wot Iced out In
the measure the senator has advo
cated," declared Mr. M. rgan.
' Tim senate passed that bill by a
handsome inijurity, but it failed iu
the house for the want of a two
thirds majority," said Mr. Washburn.
Mr. Morgun said ho did not wonder
that a politician b .rn unci raised in
Now York, where arbitrary force was
the moving ugeney m all political
machinery, both Democratic and Re
publican, had at last ionic to believe
that there was nothing else to be done
in politicb but Mmply to get a majority
of the votes and then use the power
which thut gave. He then went on
to speak of the "alliance und coali
tion" between ctrtain Democratic
senators and certain Republican sena
tors as certain to disrupt tuo De. no
eratic party, and ho ud.eil whether
his Democratic colleagues were will
ing to strike that fatal blow.
.Mr. .Morgan, in the course of his
speech, said he proposed to offer an
amendment to the bill to strike out
nil ufler tl.e enacting clause, and in
bert a section ro eallug the whole
and not a part of the Sherman law.
.Mr. Washburn thought over for
soiuo time tlio declaration of .Mr.
Morgan us to .1 coalition, und after
Mr. .Morgan had left tlio subject asked
him what ho meant by it
"1 mean an agreement, " said Mr.
Morgan, "between the Democrats ami
Republicans who favor tlio pending
bill, that it shall not bo amended in
any particular whatever. That is the
llrst proposition. Is that right."
"(Soon " urged Mr. Washburn.
"Is that right?" persisted Mr. Mor
gan. After tlio senator shall have made
his statement I desire to state there is
no coalition of any description." said
Mr. Washburn. "No agreement or
understanding of any character or de
scription, and when tlio senator slates
that there is a coalition lie docs a very
grave injury to every man on this side
of the chamber."
"I will not yield the lloor to tlio
ncnator toubusenie," said Mr Moiyun.
"I do not intend to," disclaimed
Mr Washburn.
"Then sit down," demanded Mr.
Morgan.
I want to defend myself," said Mr.
Washburn, "and my Republican col
leagues fimii the charge of tho senator
from Alabama."
"Tho senator was introdueiur him
Mslf In 11 matter In which I did not
have hlin iu mind," said Mr. Morgan.
"1 did not have him In mind us a
leader of tho Republican party."
I Laughter. J
"1 stand here as a Republican," re
pli d Mr. Washburn e.Ncltedlv. "and I
urn not to be stamped on and insulted
for my po.ition."
"I urn hero on th's lloor," declared
Mr. Morgan defiantly, "responsible
for every word I say, either in this
chamber or outside. You understand
that?"
"Perfectly," Mr. Washburn ropliod.
"IV-rfectly responsible," added Mr.
Morgun. iu emphasis of his original
MalemiMit.
Mr. Moigan then rosuuied his argu
ment In tho course of it ho alluded
to Senator .Sherman as ono of the
leaders of the coalition and Senators
Lodge and Hill ho called "Juveniles
from Massachusetts und Now York."
lie proceeded to argue against tho
tvisltlon taken by Mr. Hill, which
brought that senator to Ills feet to
taU what his position was.
"1 claim, lira'." said Mr. Hill; "that
It is within the power of the presiding
olllcer (in the absence of express .mlos
to the contrary) to determine tho
presence of a quorum. My second
proposition is that thoro is no rulo of
the senate which expressly or even
Impliedly forbids thut action."
On the question of cloture, Mr Mor
gan deli 17) tho senators to cstab.ish
Mich a niUi
Mr. Hill sa(d !;c hud not expected to
convince sunators u'ho hud no respect
for the supremo court and were not
willing to bow to its decision
.Mr. Hill then paid his respects to
Mr. Morgi.11. ' it was true," Mr. Mill
buid, "(here were polititiuus in Now
York, lfu supposed there were no
politicians In Alabama. They were
all statesmen from the lountry " Mr
Morgan had spokui of his life-long
devotion to the constitution- "1 sup
posed," said Mr. Hil), "thut for n
lirjef period my frlond wus snpportlng
UMnher constitution, but I may be
mistaken-" As to Mr Morgun's talk
jibout dying at his post, Mr Hill huij
Jieard like statements fr m men who
trr re golriff to "die In the last'ditch.
but," said Mr. Hill, "there are many
3f them left "
Mr. Sherman, Repnb'ican of Ohio
then addressed the senate, lie said
the rules of the senate were tnutk to
expedite public business In an orderly,
proper manner, und their object was
to enable the senate to legislate.
While that was the primary object of
ttllrules.it was equally important to
give tho minority full und frco op
portunity of debate Put mh.ii the
rules were used by tho minority to
obstruct legislation those rules should
at onco be altered Wh-nevpr a
minority used means of obstruction
unduly it created a revolution.
Mr. Sherman said the obsttuctlve
methods which had been pursucit in
the last two mouth had gone fnr
beyond anything ho had ever wit
nessed lu his senatorial experience.
In fact obstructive measures had been
res .r'.cd to which had never been
Invoked since tho senate was first'
organized.
If that continued, the senate would
no longer command the respect of act
ive and intelligent people and the
Americans were men of notion in all
departments of action, lie said the
responsibility in tho present situation
rested upon the Democratic f-enutoru.
It was said they could not agree. Ho
would say to them that they must
agree or else surrender their political
power.
Mr. Mills, Democrat, of Texas in a
long speech took the position that Mr.
Shernriii had shot to tho mark when
he said the responsibility rested upon
the Democratic party.
Mr. Itutlcr, Democrat, of South Car
olina Inquired whether Mr. Mills
would particinate lu ami be bound by
u caucus of Democratic senators.
Itefore Mr. Mills could answer the
question Mr. Hill asked Mr. Ilntler if
ho would go into a caucus of Demo
cratic senators and representatives
ami abide by the result.
Mr. Itutlcr said he wouid, and in
turn asked Mr. Hill whether he would
go into n caucus of Democrntlc sena
tors and bo bound by the result.
Mr. Hill preferred to go into a cau
cus where the entire body which had
power to legislute was represented,
and of that body the senate was only
a part.
On motion of Mr Voorhees tho sen
ate took a recess until 111 o'clock this
morning.

Washington. Oct li The storm
which broke iu tho senate yesterday
is an index to tho feeling of Impa
tience which has b.-en gra lually ac
cumulating. Sen itor Sherman only
amplified 111 his speech what he has
been saying privately for two weeks,
and the time may bo extended further
back still inrcferin,' to Senator Hill's
utterances Mr Sherman's taunt to
the Demo -rats fou filling to agree
among themselves had the elVect of
starting a caucus among the Demo
crats. Several of t iciu have been
trying lor the pa t two or throe days
to got their fellow Democratic sena
tors to agree to submit the cnt'io ques
tion to a pirty conference and abide
by tho result of its decision, and it is
understood that Senator (ioiman,
chairman of the ciuetis, has the ques
tion under advisement.
There is a possibility of u joint
democratic caucus of both the house
mid the senate, as suggested by Sen
ator Hill und acquiesced in bv Senator
ltutler. All tho senators are beginning
to feel thai tho present strain can not
last a great while longer, and that a
desperate effort must bo made to iind
relief in some direction The silver
men court adjournment and feel con
fident tho result would bo favorable
to them Senator Aldrich, e. chair
man, and at present a member of the
committee on rules, said the t me was
not yet ripe for notion on the rules,
th ugh ho thought the change might
be undertaken before a great while.
It is somewhat uncertain how the
committee would stand 11 rou this ques
tion. I.ltirii-n soui'i'ii'ri.

Washington, Oct 13. It need not
surprise the country if this week or
the next the end of this extra session
should come. The possibility of so
speed an adjournment ninv surprise
many Wasterni 1 but thoro Is much
more than nil evi i chance that the ad
journment will come and that lu tho
meantime congress will continue its
do-nothing policy
The situation today is this: If it
lies within the power of the friends of
the administration iu congress to
bring to an end this anomalous situa
tion, it will speedily ha done. Speaker
Crisp has already told his espe
cial friends "in the houso
that they must hustle to a conclusion
before Saturday any legislation iu
which they are mightily interested.
No other note of alarm has been
sounded. If tho administration can
hold in line enough of the house re
pealers lo carry 11 motion fixing an
immediate date for adjournment It
will bo done before Saturday. The
resolution, if adopted, will bo sent to
the senate where it becomes a ques
tion of tho highest privilege for
neither house can a Ijourn for more
than three days without the consent
of tho other. There is no question
but that the senate would refuse
assent to such a prouosltion. In that
event section 3 of article J of the con
stitution which provides that in case
of disagreement between the houses
with respect to the time of adjourn
ment tho president may adjourn them
tr) such time as lie mavsoo lit becomes
operative and it is the present purpose
of tho president to do what never yet
in the historv of tho republic has been
done adjourn congress
THE SENATE QUITE LIVELY.

Washing rox, O-t. 1 .Immediately
after the journal had been read iu the
senate yesterday morning, Mr. Dolph of
Oic'on uroso to correct It on the
ground that It was InaccuraN in full
ing to recite tho presence of Senators
Allen ami ICylo on sundry roll calls,
they having bejn present in the senate
und failed to vote. Ho said that it
had become apparent that if senators
could talk indefinitely and read from
books and papers without limit,
and if the senate was not to amend
its rules or to put a different con
struction upon them that the sen
ate must drift down the current of
endless tulle without neco upl shlng
any losult Ho believed ho could say
twenty-six Republican senators not
only fnvor.'d the repeal of the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman act,
but would bo willing to vote toamciid
the rules so that tho majority could
limit debate, lie regarded as ridicu
lous and farcical the proedurj iu
the senate when a senator suggested
the absence of a quorum and then
upon the roll call refused to answer
to his name lie charaeterued as dis
orderly and violative of tho spirit of
the rules of tho senate the refusal of a
senator to attend when requested by
thesergeunt-at-arms; or, when he did
respond, refused to vote. That course
was bringing tho senate int disre
pute and bringing scandal upon it.
He was getting very tired of that sort
of thing an I thought it was timo the
senate should have a little biekbone.
Mr. lllll of New York said that ho
had never shared in tho criticism that
In tho absence of rules the speaker of
the house hud not tho right to tell tho
truth anil to inako tho journal refuse
to toll a lie. To hold that the speaker
had not tho right to exorcise his own
senses, iin'd when a member sat right
in front of him and did not vote to
have the journal show the fact of his
presence, tho senator was clinging to
some traditions from past ages and
there wus 1.0 sense iu it, there was no
reason for it und never 'hud been.
Theie was no harm In what was pro
posed to be done. The rights of no
ono woum 00 invaded. Tlio ilutv of
senators was grcnter than that of
merely remaining in their seats. It
was their duty to take part in tho
transaction of business.
Tho vice president ruled that noth
ing wos iu order at this stage except
what pertained to tho approval of tho
journal and that therefore the resolu
tion of Mr. Djlph was not iu order.
Mr Dolph then moved that tho
name of Mr. Allen be entered in con
nection with the roll call at (1:30
o'clock yesterday Ho said that he se
lected Mr. Allen, as his name appeared
in the record at the timo of the roll
call when ho took part in n colloquy.
Mr. Hill contended at great length
that the presiding oftlccr of thesenato
had the power to count a quorum.
Mr. Sherman of Ohio, took the lloor
at the conclusion of Mr. Hill's re
marks, lie said tlio senate was surely
drifting towards a change In tho rules,
but a change was not posslblo pend
ing tho consideration of tho financial
question.

ono to ho from each of three dominant
pnrtips represented ut the last pre
vious election; that the Democratic
party was not represented at all and.
