Statement of the circulation of THR EVENING Star for the week ending January 17, 1891: THE FIGHT RENEWED. Tactics of Obstruction in the Senate Still Pursued, MR. GORMAN RAISES A FLURRY. In the House Time is Also Frit- tered Away. MR. SPRINGER AND SPEAKER. THE SENATE. The Senate met at It am. Mr. Blair had re- turned from his unsuccessful contest for re- election and was (while the journal of Friday was being read) cordially greeted and sympa- thized with by Senators of both partios, and, among others, by Mf. Ingalls, whose own re- election appears to be in such danger. 18 AN APPRAL DERATABLE? Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr. Gorman took the floor to argue in favor of a correction of the Record of Saturday where it described the action taken upon an amendment to the elections bill. : Mr. Gorman availed himself of the occasion to argue against the correctness of a decision of the Vice President during Fridays’s session to the effect that an appeal from the decision was not debatable because the question itself on which the decision was made was an unde- batable one. Mr. Gorman admitted that rule, although in direct conflict with all the author- ities now obtained until 1884, when the rule was modified so as to make it conform to the general parliamentary law. Mr. Hoar inquired what the motion was. Mr. Gorman said that it was a motion to cor- rect the journal. Mr. Hoar desired to have the motion stated formall; Mr. mer thought that Mr. Gorman might be allowed to go on and state his views without any particnlar formality. Mr. Gorman expressed his indebtedness to Mr. Spooner who, he said, was always frank and fair. Mr. Hoar explained that if Mr. Gorman de- sired to have the journal amended, either sub- stantial or formal, he wiched to have it stated. If, on the other hand, he wished unanimous consent to proceed with his remarks he (Mr. Hoar) would not object. MK. GORMAN STATES HIS POINT. Mr. Gorman stated that undet the rule, as it stood prior to 1834, debate was not in order on an appeal where the original question was not debatable, but that under the change then MONDAY, January 12, i801... 32938 | made a question of order might be raised at ‘TUESDAY, January 13, 1991... 32,700 | any stage of a proceeding, and should be de- ; cided without debate, “eubject to an appeal to WEDNESDAY, January 16, 1901 33,133 | the Senate.” Any peal taken “on any THURSDAY, January 15, 1991. 33,220 | subsequent question of order” should be FRIDAY, January 16, 1601, +. 32,889 | decided without debate.

Movement oF Siiver.—The issue of standard silver dollars from the mints during the week ended January 17 was $323,909. The issue during the corresponding period of last year was $210,843.

Tyler Fe gE 2 F i i, ie did not admit of two opinions, that the rule which had prevented debate on an appeal where the question itself was undebatable was then abrogated. Addressing himself specially to the Vice President Mr. Gormaa_ said that no Vice President had ever taken or ever could afford to take any advantage or make any arbitrary ruling in the Senate. From the first Vice President unti! now no man whom the people had honored by an election to that office had ever attempted to do it and in his opinior no one ever would. With the Vice President's t reputation in the financial world, in the Eiplomatic vervice and in all the relations of life he had, however, buta short time to become familiar with the rules of the Senate. It had been therefore due to the Vice President and due to the orderly conduct of business that for the moment he (Mr. Gorman) should submit to his decision without a more carnest protest, knowing that he would have the opportunity of bringing the law and the facts to hi attention and the attention of the Senate and with a perfect belief that no pride of opinion oF desire to be consistent would influ- ence him to do injustice. There, he continued, was the parliamentary law; there was the uni- form decision in every case from the beginning till now, and he trusted that the Vice Presi- dent would look over them and decide the uestion in conformity with the precedentsand Hee letter of the law itself. MB, EDMUNDS SAYS THE CHAIR WAS RIGHT. Mr. Edmunds said that he took the liberty of affirming, with great respect to everybody else, that the decision of the chair on the occasion referred to was absolutely right in point of parliamentary law. There was certainly no Tule of the Senate against it, and no reason of common sense against it. If the rule were as Mr. Gorman claimed, then ona niotion to ad- journ or go into executive session, or to lay « subject on the table, all of which ‘were unde- batable motions, the Senate might be kept in session indefinitely. Mr. Harris differed totally from Mr. Ed- munds. Mr. Hoar asked Mr. Harris whether he held that an appeal from a decision on a motion to adjourn was debatable, and Mr. Harris said that it clearly was, as rule No. 20° made no excep- nm. ‘THE MOTION WITHDRAWS. The discussion was kept up until 12:30, when Mr. Gorman withdrew his motion. The jour- nal of Friday was approved and the morning business proceeded with. BILLS REPORTED. Among the bills reported and placed on the calendar were the following: Senate bill to establish a life-saving station at Brant Rock, Marehfield, Mase. Three bills to confirm agreements with the Sacs and Foxes, the Citizen band of Pottawat- omies and Absentee Shawnees in Oklahome. ‘THE RLECTIONS BILL TAKEN UP.

Mr. Rogers (Ark.) suggested that there could not be any doubt of what the Speaker had said in vier of the result of the late election. was “a government of the people, by # Pe abide by the decision of the people. The Speaker had put before the people asa question to be considered his conduct in mak- ing his rulings, which he had denominated as the turning aside of the precedents of a hun- dred years, but which he hoped would be the making of precedents for the next hundred years. This question had been presented to | the American people and their verdict had been one of condemnation of the rulings of | the Speaker. He (Mr. Springer) regretted that | this verdict had been unheeded. More than 600,000 majority of the people had spoken in the election in opposition to the House in all its proceedings, not only upon the rules, but upon the McKinley bill, and especially upon the force bill. 4 COLLOQUY WITH THE SPEAKER. At this point Mr. Rogers (Ark.) rose to inter- polate aremark, but Mr. Springer did not yield, and the Speaker, with some sarcasm in his tone, renjarked that the gentleman from Illinois did not desire to be interrupted. Mr. Springer replied that he did not desire to be interrupted and especially by the cbair. The Speaker expressed no wonder at the gen- tleman’s apprehension. Mr. Springer manifested his willingness to yield five minutes of Lis time to the Speaker if | the Speaker desired to say anything. THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAM. How It Is Proposed to Pass the Cloture kule.

Of course this cannot be had, and he will then give notice that he will ask for a yote on Thursday. ‘This motion, when he makes it, will itself be | debatable and the indications are that there will be considerable time consumed. THEY LOOK TO THE VICE PRESIDENT. the rules is based on the expectation of arbi- trary action by the presiding officer in refusing to recognize democrats for debate. They have no promise from Mr. Morton that he will fol- low this course nor that he will call some one else to the chair to do #0. They are simply “going it blind” and trusting to settlement th ‘question when it arises. ‘The one thing that they al! understand is that to keep up this fight for the force bill means the failure of sll other measures and that the penalty will be an extra session. Even if they were finally successful in getting the cloture rule adopted by an arbitrary ruling, the time consumed would be sufficient to make the penalty of an extra session inevitable. Every republican who is asked to stand by Mr. Hoar in this fight understands. that it means the sacrifice of all other gmeasures and there is no longer any attempt on their part to deceive themselves. Mr. Gorman made a move on the republican works this morning when he got the floor and called in question in a argument the de- the chair made Friday night, in which it was held that debate on an appeal was not in order. It is by such a ruling as this foliowing any ruling, the chair may make on the cloture that the of the force bill hope to reach a vote. Mr. Gorman’s purpose was to cision of let in some light on his side of that question. SILVER MEN MAY DEFEAT A QUORUM. bt There was a quorum of republicans in the Senate today, but it is understood that the sil- ver republicans who are fighting the force bill will not vote to make a quorum on the proposi- tion to change the rules. As the fight approaches the climax the demo- crats show more confidence in their power than they have heretofore. It is stated on authority of republican Senator that the republican senators will oppose cloture. However, Mr. Hoar’s faith in men will be upon him by Senators that they should first ‘prove that the bil could not be passed yy inary met y ef trial of the physical endurance test before an attempt should be made to change the rules. Mr. Hoar regards this asa sort of promise that these Senators would vote for the ‘change of rules if he could demonstrate his ir.- ability to wear out the democrats by staying all night with them. The Senate met promptly at 11 o'clock this morning with about twenty-five Senators in attendanee, all looking fresh and well greaved after their Sunday rest, and apparently in ex- cellent condition and eager for the fray. The galleries were not well patronized, only a few persons having gathered there to witness the resumption of hostilities. ‘Among the first arrivals on the floor was Senator Blair, fresh from the encounter in tf | i Ht FE e ie i | sleighs.
