THER SENATORIAL TILT
Hill Scores Morgan of Marina in a
Fine Speech.
KIDIOULES HIS ARGUMENTS
Sherman Comes to the Front with a
Strong Admonition to the Senate
to Get to Business.
Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 17.-At the open
ing of the senate this morning Dolph
asked that the Journal be corrected to
show the presence of Allen and Kyle
on sundry roll calls yesterday, they
having been present In the senate,
but having failed to vote. Dolph said
that twenty-six republican senators
not only favored the repeal of the
Sherman act, but would vote to amend
the rules so that the majority could
limit tha debate. He regarded it as
farcical for a senator to suggest the
absence of a quorum and then, on the
roll call, to refuse to vote. The senate
was being brought into disrepute by
such a course. .
The discussion on the point of order
wnetner Allen should be recorded as
present when present and not voting,
engrossed the attention of the senate
today. Hill contended at great length
that the presiding officer had power to
Quote a quorum. Morgan, . democrat,
of Alabama, said that he was not sur
prised that the senator from New York
(Hill) championed the rulings of the
speaker of the house, because he was
the unfortunate instrument, when he
presided over the senate of New York.
In the introduction of that heresy, not
only into the democratic party and its
traditions, but also into the constitu
tional rights of legislative bodies. Mor
gan went on to speak of "Alliance and
coalition between certain democratic
senators and certain republican sen
ators," as belnca certain to disrunt the
party, and he asked whether his dem
ocratic colleagues were willing to
strike the fatal blow. The coalition in
the senate had been created for the
defense of the national banks and for
the purpose of destroying the silver
money. Morgan proceeded to argue
rgainst the position taken ty Hill,
which brought that senator to his feet.
"I first claim," said Hill, "that it Is
within the power of the presiding offl
cer to determine the presence of a
quorum. My second proposition Is that
there Is no rule of the senate which
expressly, or even Impliedly, forbids
that action."
On the question of cloture Morgan
defied the senators to establish that
rule. "If I must die here," said Mor
gan, In closing, "I will die like an hon
erable man at my post."
Hill said he had not expected to
convince the senators who had no re
spect for the supreme court and who
were not willing to bow to its, decis
ions. Hill then paid his respects to
Morgan. "It's true," he sal.d "that
there are politicians in New York." He
supposed that there were no politi
cians In Alabama; they were all states
men from that country. (Laughter.)
Morgan had spoken about his lifelong
devotion to the constitution. "I sup
posed," said Hill, "that for a brief per
iod my friend supported another con
stitution, but I may be mistaken." As
to Morgan s talk about dying at his
post. Hill said he had heard like state
ments by men who tvere '.'going to
die In the last ditch," but, said Hill,
"there are many of them left." (Re
newed laughter.) Referring to the re
mark of Morgan complimentary to Al
len G. Thurman, Hill said he supposed
Morgan In making the tribute, hnd In
view all the record made by Thurman
In the senate. He then read from the
Journal of the senate when on one
occasion, Thurman being temporarily
called to the chair, and certain sena
tors refused to vote, he counted the
quorum. The galleries vigorously ap
plauded the recital of thin action on
the part of Thurman, and Hill said:
"There is a precedent which I ask this
body to Imitate. There is one distin
guished man whom I propose to follow
rather than the lead of the distinguish
ed senator from Alabama."
Sherman, of Ohio, then addressed
the senate. He said the rules of the
senate had been made to expedite pub
lic business In an orderly and proper
manner, and their object was to en
able the senate to legislate... But when
the rules were used by the minority to
obstruct legislation, the rules should
at once be altered. Whenever the mi
nority used a menas of obstruction
unduly it created a revolution. He
thought, therefore, that probably at
this session the time had arrived when
tha senate must adopt rules to pre
vent obstruction to public business.
The proper way to secure a limit of
debate was, at the next session of
congress, to have the committee on
rules strengthened In numbers and to
have It examine all the various rules
and report one that would give the
minority full power to express their
opinion and prescribe a time when and
where the final vote could be taken.
If the present vcondltlon was continued,
the senate could no longer command
the respect of active and Intelligent
people. Sherman said that the respon
sibility In the present situation rested
in the democratic slda. Thre eor four
Important matters demanded a solu
tion and the senate stood in the way.
We ask our brothers on the other
side to consult each other. If they do
not like the president's plan on sliver
give us some other, and in Gou b name
let us settle this important situation
for the people of our country."
Morgan asked If Sherman would vote
for the unconditional repeal of the en
tire Sherman act. "No," replied Sher
man emphatically, "and no other man
who understands the subject would
do It, In my Judgment." Morgan said
he. Intended to offer an amendment to
that effect soon.
In con elusion. Sherman said: "Break
down this barrier now maintained by
the United States senate; break up
this Insolent and violent obstruction
to the will of the majority; give the
senate free power, and In ten days
n-om tnis time the aspect will bright
en, business will resume Its ordinary
course, and all the clouds that have
lowered on our house will, In the deep
Dosom or tne ocean, be buried."
The senate took a recess until to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
The storm which broke in the senate
today serves as an tndetf of the feel
ing of impatience and resistence which
is gradually accumulating. Sherman's
taunt of the democrats for failure to
agree among themselves has the ef
fect of Increasing the prospect for a
caucus among the democratic senators.
There will possibly be a Joint demo
cratic caucus 4t both house and sen
ate as suggested by Senator Hill, and
acqulescd in. by Senator Butler. All
tha members of the senate are begin
ning! to feel that the present strain
cannot last a great while longer, and
a desperate effort will be made to find
relief In some direction. The silver
men court an adjournment and appear
confident that the result would be fa
vorable to them.
Washington, Oct. 17. In the house
the bloody shirt was waved for a
time this morning when the bill re
moving the necessity for affirmative
proof of the loyalty of pensioners of
wars previous to the dvH war was
called. Burrows claimed that it would
repeal the section barring from pen
sions all who were engaged In the
rebellion.
"Call the hell hounds off the track
of ' the Union soldiers," vehemently
said Burrows, "before you restore- the
who were false to the Union to the
pension rolls." (Republican applause.)
-pates said he had fought four years
for what he believed to be right, but
now he was devoted to the Uulon and
would shed more blood In Its defense
than Burrows ever did. He suggested
that the bill be modified to exclude
pensioners. The modification was ac
cepted and the bill passed. The house
then resumed its consideration of the
Cox banking bill, which also passed.
