II IS CLAIM WAS DECIDED INVALID
Voir W on 1'urtj- I.liim, Kxeept that
llurniud Wan Countrd on the
OiiiHinltlon. Wahhimito.v, Jan. 14. The senate
committee on prlcileges and elections to
day decided to miike an ndverRO report
on II. V. Corliett's claim to a seat in
the senate from Oregon. The vote wa9
4 to 3, on party linen, except that Sena
tor llurrowB, Republican, who was ab
sent, was counted, upon his authority,
us being on the side of opposition to
Corhett.
There were two votes, the first being
upon the motion to declare Mr. Corbett
entitled to his seat, which was support
ed by Messrs. Chandler, Hoar and
I'ritohard, Republicans, and opposed by
Messrs. Cutlery and I'ettus, Democrats,
Allen, Populist, and Jlurrown, Repub
lican, of Michigan. Senator Spooner
was paired with Turpie, the former for
and the latter against the motion. The
motion was then, made to declare Mr
Corhett not entitled to a seat, and the
motion carried hy the former vote, re
verBed.
Ihe votinc was preceded by quite a
general discussion, based on a report
prepared by Senator Pettus, on behalf
of the opposition. This report took the
position that the questions involved are
practically the same as those involved
in the Mantle case, and this case should
be allowed to stand as a precedent. Sen
ator IVttus made an argument in favor
of establishing n principle of action in
such cases, and allowed to stand, taking
the position that there was no danger m
not taking the same course' every time
the political complexion of the senate
changed.
