THUAT APFEARS TO DB TIB DETBRMINATION OF REPUDLICAN BENATORS, Speciat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune. ‘Wasnmarox, D: C., Nov. 20.—There was an- other day of frultless taik in the Senate. Both parties met in caucus this morning for the pur- ‘pose of coming to some arrangement, {f possi- ble, na to the time when a vote should be taken in the cases of Kellogg, Butler, and Eustis. Tho Republicans had submitted to the Democratas proposition that a vote should be taken on Kel- loge to-morrow at & o'clock, on Butler at 6, and on Eustis at 8. This proposition belng submit- ted to the Democratie cancus, n very great dl- versity of oplalon was immediately developad. ‘The majority of the Democrats were' disposed to accopt the proposition in zood falth, save that ‘ some desired to have {t modificd so that all three shouid by c BWORN IN AT ONCH, or at leaat that an arrangement shanld be made that whichever tho Benate should decido wera entitled to theso threo seats sliould be sworn in atonce, But Ben HIl, Bavard, Baulsbury, Mc- Donald, and a few others opposed the propost: tion, Ben Hill declared that Kellogz was pere sonally oifousive to him, and ho desired to Lnve the wearisome, foolish conteat of last week cone- tinued, Bayart suspected a cat fn'the meal- tub, and thought there was somo trick fn the proposition. It was suggested, In opposition ta both Bayard and Hiil, that unless this proposl- tlon should be accepted it might happen that Butler would not be seated. The Democrats have G APPREIENSIONS OF JUDGM DAVIS' VOTE, and if he should be opposed to them, even If Conover and Patterson voted for Butler, the Senate would be tied. Bul no decision was reachod in elther caucus, and wearisome dobato agaln began, Befors adjournment was had, it bo:ame apparent that the Dewmocrats regretted thelr refusal to aceept tho Republican proposi- tion, This information was conveyed to the Republicans, wheu it was dlscovered that Ed- munds could no lonrer induco tho Republicans to agreo to the original proposition rlhu Democrats lost thelr opportunity, and "the ‘whole subject Is AGAIN AT 8HA. The debato was principally confined to Re- turning-Board questions and to tho Hamburz massacre. Ben Hill returned to his atrack of yesterday, and while assuming to bo a chivalrio Bouthern ‘gentleman, continucd to speak of Butlor as s descendant of Perry and Marfon, and of Kellogg as “that man.’ A Borator in private conversation stated the fallacy of Lilll's position tnan oplgrammatic way, Hoar eaid: #The fssue 18 not what blood is in Butler's velos, but what 1s tpon his hands." l Gov. Palmer's connectfon with the Loutsiana affair was again brought to public notice. Tha Democrats had charged that the new evidenca which they wished to produce in the Louisiana case was that of ; SOMMN OFFICIAL OF TIIR LETURNING NOARD, « who claims to have been & witness of tha alleged fraudulent manipulation of tho Vernon Parlsh retums. Even If this was truc, tho cotire matter was jrrclovant to tho question of seating Kellogg, for the reason that the mem- ber from Vernon Parish, whose electlon was claimed to bave been vold, was & Democrat, and was not present fn tho Kellogr Legisloture at its orgunization orat the time whon Kellogg was elocted, and had hio been woutd have voted ogalust Kellogg. 1n no sense, thercfors, coutd the legality of tho clection of this member have affected Kellogg's election, Theso facts showed T8 STALLOWNESS OF THE PRETRXT ot the desire for justico, and demonstrated the fact that the Democrats only desire delay. The point was made by the Republicans that these Returning-Board clerks might be actusted by & desire of. galn, as Gov. Pslmer sald that the famous Littlefiold was. McDonald, of Io- dlans, indignantly dealed that Palmer madosny such statoment. Ko waa soon alter referred to tho record, where Palmer sald these wordss 1 bad o my mind the oplnivon that Tilde, it elected, would give him (Littlefleld) & place somewhere outalde of Loulsians, somswhere in tho North. 1 bad a kind of geucral idearthat ho might be put fn somewhere, sud that he would bo rewarded in this way." . A FEATORN OF TUN DAY was Conkling's arraigument of the Democrsts for\thelr inconsistency. Two days sgo they 'were opposiog an investigation of Butler before he waa scated, on the ground that delay of that sort was an encroachment upon the rights of & soverelgn State. To-day they aro auxious to exsmine Kellogg on matters eotirely fmmaterial to his right to a eeat, . ‘The dcbate upon the Hamburg massacre de- veloped no new features. It consisted larzely of criminstion and recrimination, and untortu- nately is to be continued indefluitely, for f¢ Iy said thet Senator Patterson has a four-hours ‘writicn specch to deliver upon this znd other ques £0-IOrFOW.

E RUBTIS' CASE. fome Democrate_are Leginning to doubt the strength of tho Eustls case. ‘The truth s, Yastis has a weak case. The trouble is, he was not elected.
