Washington, Feb. 28. — The debate on the Porto Rican tariff bill brought out several notable speeches in the house y rday, including one by Represen Grosvenor of Ohio, who answered a number of questions as to the attitude of the president, an- other by Mr. McCall of Massachusetts, the Republican wnember of the ways und means committee who dissented from the committee report, Mr. Moody, another Massachusetts member, who sharply criticised the position of his colleague, Mr. McClellan of New York, and Mr, Brantley of Georgia also spoke yagaivst the bill and) Mr. Parker of New Jersey in snpport of it. The de- bate was continusd at a night session. The Senate. In accordance with a tacit agree- ment with the senators who were un- able, on account of the meeting of the Denocratie national con-mittee, to at- tend yesterday’s session, Mr. Penrose rained from calling up the Quay : as he had previously announced he would do, When he announced, however, his intention to call it up to- a brief parliamentary squabble e ed as to the rights by which the case would come before the senate. No conclusion was reached, the ques- tion involved being postponed for con- sideration until to-day. The Senate. Washington, Feb. 24. Yesterday’s session of the senate ¥ unusually interesting from the very beginning. In spite of vigorous and infiuential op- position Mr. Penr: of Pennsylvania succeeded in getting the Quay ques- tion before the senate, and during the afternoon three notable speeches were delivered. After a sharp parliamen- squabble Mr. Penrose moved that lution involving the seating of Mr. Quay be taken up for considera- tion. On an aye and noe vote the motion prevailed, 34 to 23. ‘The ma- jority was so decisive s to cause some surprise. It is known that some senators will vote, if the opportunity be offered, against seating Mr. Quay, who voted for taking up the case yes- terday, while, on the contrary, some who voted against it, will vote to seat him. So the vote cannot be taken as indicating a test of strength. In tak- ing up the resolution Mr. Daniel of Virginia delivered a speech in which he vigorously supported Mr. Quay’s right to a seat. Mr. Vest of Missouri and Mr. Foraker of Ohio delivered notable speeches anent the Hawaiian government bill. Both were constitu- tional arguments, Mr. Foraker’s being a reply to that of Mr. Vest’s, The House. An agreement was reached in the house sterday that the vote on the Porto Rican tariff bill be taken up at 8 p. m. next Tuesday, general debate to close Monday. The speech of Mr. Littlefield of Maine was the feature of the day. He added te his laurels won in the Rob- erts debate by speech against the bill, which for brilliancy, wit and logic rivals the best efforts of the recognized orators ef the house. He made a pro- found impression, and when he con- cluded it ¥ several minutes before the demonstration that foliowed could be quelled. Among the others who spoke were Messrs. Jones of Virginia and Maddox ef Georgia, against the bill, and Messrs. Russell of Connecti- cut, Bartholdt of Missouri, Gardiner of Michigan, Lacey of Iowa for it. The debate continued for a night ses- sion, Wiishington, Feb. 26—The debate on the Porto Rican bill in the ho of representatives Saturday brought out f speech by Representative ‘Lawney of Minnesota, scoring Mr. Littlefield of Maine for his speech of the day be- fore, and also two speeches from the Republican side by Mr. Tompkins of New York antl Mr. Powers of Vermont opposing the bill. Mr. Thayer of Massachusetts closed the day with @ defense of the anti-imperialists. The other speakers were Mr. Eddy of Min- nesota, for the bill, and Messrs. Clay- ton of Alabama and _ Broussard of Louisiana, against it. The Senate. , Throughout the session Saturday the se had under consideration the iian government _ bill. sion teok a wide range, but the basis of it was an amendment of- fered by Mr. Platt of Connecticut, pro- Hi viding th. the pr Jent should ap- point the chief justice and justices of the veme court and judges of the circuit courts, and that the governor of the territory should appoint the oth- er officers; the amendment limiting the tenure of oflice of appointees to four years Mr. Tillman of South Carolina embraced the opportunity to make a speech in the course of which he made an attack on Mr. Morgan of labama, and vigorously opposed any provisions of ihe bill, particu- larly these which related to suffrage.
