To Incorporate the Washington Cable and Elec- tric Railway and the Eckington ana Soldiers’ Home compaules, of the District of Columbia, ‘TUE CONSTITUTION CRNTERNIAL Mr. Hoar, from the select committee on the cele- bration of ‘the centennial of the Constitution, re- ported a jolnt resolution providing “in addition to Such other celebration as may hereafter be pro- Vided for” that the two houses of Congress shail inet in the hall of the House of Representatives: that the Chiet Justice of the United States shall deiiver au oration, and that une President of the United States, the’ justices of the Supreme Court, the members Of thé Cabinet, the executives of the several stiles and. territories, and such other per- Sous as may hereafter be devermined upon shall be {uvited co attend, Mr, Hale asked Mr. Hoar whether there was anything im the resolution by which Congress could be considered as committing itself In’ any form toa great industrial exposition in the city of Washington, Mr. How replied that the committee had not come to auy conclusion on that subject, and had hot even considered It. The comnattee’ had heard Some persons in regard tot, but lmd not taken it Up for action. ‘The committee, in reporting the Tesolution, bad carefully refratied trom anything Which would commit the Senate or Congress to any such plans. Mr. Voorhees (a member of the select committee,) sald that he understood the joint resolution tw be @ mere announcement that the centennial Of the Constitution would be celebrated, and to be anoutlin: of the manner in which it’ would be done. “He regretted that he had not been present at the Last teeting of the committee, Dut had Su, )posed that owe step would be take in regard to Invitations to the South American cyuntries. He asked Mr. Hoar Whether he contemplated offer- tng am amendinent In that sense. Mr. Hoar replied that the select committee had found that that matter was pending before the comi- mittee on foreign relations, and berove a subeomuntt= tee thereof, of wich Mr, Frye Was chairijun, and AU was wellknown that "that Senacor had in inind the desire to have a comercial consultation with the var.ous South American countries promoted by thls country. ‘The select cous uittee had not Wished to take any step wo embartass Or intertere with the judielary cominittee, Mr. Voorhees expressed himself #tisfled with the explanation, and added that taere was nothing La Une Joint resolution committing agyybody 10 an ex- Posiiion, Whatever wight be dene hereafter in Uhat direction the pending resoluy.on did not com mit Congress to any such Une of wcuion. Mr. Haie suggested the propriey, of oinitting the Introductory Words (iu quotation’ marks). He un- derstood, from tue remarks of Que Senator {rom Massachusetts, that the select efunumittee did ‘not propose to deal with the subject or uny otwer cele- ratio Mr. Hoar explained that whgt he meant was that” tue select committee would not deal with That subject Wituout conference With the commit tee on foreign relations, Which had charge of It. Of course the prinelval and most Important point in the Inatter Was tat of commercial relations, Mr, Hale sald he did not objec t to the Joint réso- lution wnless there lurked in It something more than was seen, nor did he Object to the oth T brazich of the eelebru commeretal conter- ence With South American stat es). But the greater question of a long-contiuied padonal or interna Uonal exposition, to be held ‘in’ Washington oF elsewhere, Invo.ved most serous considerations, and should be upproached very caretully,. ‘Time and place should be selected With cares, ag, how. ever proud they might all beet the city ot. Wash- Ington, and however glad tay migut be to have It built up, and digniiied and adornes, it was not Sumclentiy a seat of art, or science, oF Labor, oF Manufucture to Justify its selection for a great ex- position. For, One, tbereiore, he did nou want t0 comiattted to anything ‘that looked in that direction. MR. RIDDLEBERGER STICKING TO HIS TEXT. Mr. Riddleverger sald that tae pending resolu- tion involved an international matter, and in view of the fact {t seemed impossible for him to get the Senate to consider bis resolution for an open ses- sion in considering the Brittsh extradition treaty, he might be allowed to discuss she subject in con” ection with the pending matter. THE JOINT RESOLUTION PASSED. After long discussion the Jotnt resolution for the celebration of the centennial of the Constitution ‘Was passed.
