The Right of the State to Elect Three Questioned in the Senate, THE REASON WHY I? WAS DONE. Senator Shoup Sworn In—The Cre- dentials of the Other Two Referred. THE CLOTURE BILL REPORTED ‘ SENATE. ‘The Senate met at noon. The Vice President Inid before the Senate a communication from the governor of Idaho, transmitting credentials of the Senators-elect from that state—Mossrs. George L. Shoup and Wm. J. McConnell. The credentials having been read, Mr. Hoar moved that, as Mr. Shoup was present, the oath of office be administered to him. ‘MORE SENATORS THAN THE LAW ALLOWS. Mr. Vance remarked that the new state of Idaho appeared to have elected more than its fair share of Senators, and he thought that the credentials should be referred to the commit- teg on privileges and elections. Mr. Hoar said that as he understood there were only two Senators chosen from that state. He thought that his motion took precedence of Mr. Vance's. SENATOR SHOUP SWORN IN. Mr. Hoar’s motion having been agreed to that Senator escorted Mr. Shoup to the clerk’s desk, where he took the oath of office and sub- scribed to it. Mr. Harris subsequently inquired what had becomeof Mr. Vance’s motion and said that Mr. Shoup hed been simply sworn on his prima facie case. NOT THE WAY TO Do IT. ‘Mr. Vance remarked that it was stated in the newspapers that three Senators had been elected in Idaho and that the legislature had gone to the extent of assigning to each of them the term for which he should serve. ‘That was contrary, he said, to the rule of the Senate and to the constitutional provision. proper, therefore, that the question should be determined by the proper committee of the 4 FALSE REPORT. ‘Mr. Mitchell said that he had reliable infor- mation that neither the legislature of Idaho nor the Senators-elect had attempted in any shape, manner or form to determine which of them should have the long and which the short term. ‘That was a false report. So far as the election of three Senators was concerned he held that that was regular and in order. Every one knew that the term of one of the two Senators whose credentials had been pre- sented would expire on the 4th of March next, and that being #o the legislature had the right to elect a Senator for the six years’ term to begin then. MR. HOAR SAYS THX QUESTION IS A SIMPLE ONE. Mr. Hoar argued thei iue question wasa very simple one. It was clear and unquestionable that one of the two Senators whose credentials had just been presented would go ont on the 4th of March, 1891, and the legislature (being in session) had elected a Senator for the term which would then begin. Beyond all question there would be a vacancy at that time, because one of those two (meee would have to go out on the 4th of March, 1891. XO RIGHT TO ASSUME. Mr. Carlisle argued that the legislature of Idaho had no right to assume (in advance of action by the Senate) that there would be a vacancy in the Senate from that state on the 4th of March, 1891. No election of a Senator to fill such a vacancy could take place until it was legally known that that vacancy would occur. After it had been determined by the Senate in a constitutional way that there would bea vacant after the 4th of March next the legislature Tdaho (if in session) might proceed at once to choose’ a Senator; and, if the legislature was not in session, an appointment of a Senator should be made by the governor of the state. He imagined that thers never had been a case, in the history of the country, where a state legislature had chosen three Senators at once. ‘A CONSTITUTIONAL VACANCY. Mr. Hawley—Is it not imperative under the Constitution that there shall be a vacancy after the 4th of March next? Mr. Carlisle—I think so. Mr. Hawley—Then how could the legiriature of Idaho be any more certain of that fuct three months hence than it is to-day? ‘Mr. Carlisle—Each one of these gentlemen holds precisely the same form of credentials. Now, I want the Senator to state what the Sen- ate would do in case all three of them sented their credentials at the same time? How would the Senate determine that two of them were legally elected and that one of them was not! cy of The discussion was continued by Messrs. Stewart, Sanders, Cockrell, Spooner, Reagan and Mitcheil. “ ‘MR. SPOONER’S QUERICS. Mr. Spooner asked Mr. Reagan whether the state of Idaho was not entitled to two Senators. Reagan—Yes. Spooner—The legislature of Idaho ado) A resolution to proceed to an election to fil tho two existing vacancies, and it elected Mr. Shoop and Mr. McConnell without specity- ing the length of term for either, leaving that to be determined by the Senate. How does that fact affect juestion legislature having clected @ third man whose term of office i to commence in the future? Xo QUORUM. Mr. Hoar moved té layon the table Mr. ‘Vance's motion to refer the credentials to the committee on privileges and elections. The vote was taken and it resulted: Yeas, 22; naj 15 (no quorum). The roll was then called ai fifty-three Senators answered to their names. ‘This showed the presence of more than a quorum, but several of Present were paired and could not vote. THE CREDENTIALS REFERRED. At the suggestion of Mr. Hoar the call for the yeas and nays was withdrawn, his own mo- ion to lay on the table was withdrawn and Mr. & | | i I i 3 if lH | Canada to oy ees caumtrckes = oe it i ‘ He thought it | Ser re- | saw Mr.J.M.

Mr. Aldrich offered his resolution for the amendment of the rules, which he had hereto- fore given notice of, and asked thatit be printed and laid ov Mr. Cockrell asked whether it was now in order to move to refer the resolution to the committee on rules. Mr. Aldrich—-Notnow. That motion will be in order when the resolution comes up. It is not before the Senate. See an eo r. Aldrich—By my asking that it q Mr. Cockreli—Then te ‘Senator. offers the resolntion and then objects to it, asking that it go over’ Mr. Aldrich—That is the practical effect. Mr. Cockrell—All right. The resolution went over. IDAHO'S THREE SENABORS. One of Them Sworn In—The Credentials of the Other two Referred. Afters prolonged and bitter struggle for statchood and the rights and privileges _per- taining thereto Idahois at last represented on the floor of the Senate, the senatorial oath hav- ing this mpage administered to George L. Shoup. Up to within five minutes of noon it seemed as though there would be very many lees than s quorum present, for Senator McMillan was the only Senator visible on the floor. Within a minute or two Senators Teller, Dolph, Stock- bridge, Allen, Pasco and Cockrell put in an ap- pearance and then came Senator Sanders in company with Senators-elect Shoup and Du- bois. While these latter were being grected | by fellow republicans Wade Hampton entered ent session; Mr. Irby was not in his sat down. SEX#TOR SHOUP SWORN IX. Chaplain Butler's prayer was brief and then came the reading of the journal, probably the Kast lengthy on record, it consisting of less than two type-written lines. As soon as it was of the Vice President. laid before the Senate the credentials of George L. Shoup, properly tied with an appropriate shade of ri on and adorned with a huge gilt seal—the seal of the state of Idaho. It wasan interesting fact in connection with the credentials that the election of Senator Shoup was certified by Gov. Shoup—one and the same individual, he having a gubernatorial honors for the higher ion. Senator Vance was with a motion to refer » BO he | Promptly on his feet 2 credentials both of nators Shoup and McConnell to the commit- tee on privileges and elections, at the same time intimating that Idaho had more than her share of Senators, having, ashe understood it, elected ree. Senator 8; said: “I wouldn't do that,” and Senator Hoar got up and moved that the onth be administered to Mr. Shoup. Senator Hoar’s motion had precedence und it was put. The nays could have been numerous the democrats known just what to do, but there was evidently no understanding on the subject, ‘so the ayes had it and Senator Hoar escorted Col. Shoup to the Vice President's desk and stood by him while he took the oath. Then Capt. Bassett took the new Senator in tow and conducted him to his new desk, which is next to that of Senator Warren of Wyoming. PROLONGED DISCUSSION. A long debate then ensued on the | proceed- ings of the Idaho legislature, which had culmi- nated in the election of three Senators, and there were those who were of opinion that the discussion was prolonged for the purpose of wasting some of the time that might otherwise have been applied to the elections bill. THE RETREAT OF GEN. SHERMAN. One of the interesting and amusing features of the debate was the retreat of Gen. Sherman before Senator Cockrell’s critical fire. The old general entered the chamber while the Missourian was engaged in argument with Sena- tors Spooner and Sanders ai ‘was straight- way surrounded by numerous Senators, Hawley, Evarts and Stewart being conspicuous. Very naturally there was conversation and then Mr. Cocl loudly exprested nis ‘illing- ness to yield the floor to the group that ciu:- tered around the old warrior. “ihe Missourian’s remarks caused the conversationalists to make a hasty retreat to the republican | cloak room. makes things | even. Twenty-five years ago it was Mr. Cockrell, who was ‘unavoidably doing the retreating, and Gen. Sherman was one of the causes. Today the rebel bi was in the saddle, as it were, and the Union forces move POSTMASTER, A Talk With the Brother of the Dead ‘Official. — MURDER OF A The killing of John Prentiss Matthews, the postmaster at Carrollton, Miss., by young Mc- Bride will probably turn out to beacause celebre. The shooting was mentioned in Fri- day's Stan. Matthews was shot down on the street by McBride. A Stan reporter yesterday was the repulican candidate for Congress against Gen. Hooker at the last election and who is also a brother of the dead man. Mr. Matthews had just received the follo ton: “John was murde: been notified by a dozen ra going to kill him that day ir guns an When be did this the sheriff arrtsted him and placed him under bonds.
