SENATE. .- " Washington, Febi 24. -Mr. Chan dler, rising to a question of personal privilege, called attention to the fact that the Senator from Florida (Mr Call), in the debate last Thursday, had uttered words personally offensive to him, which he had not' then heard and had followed up that breach of order by changing and adding to the official jrepor of his Jre marks a paragraph still more offensive. He (Chandler), deemed it his duiy, be fore ; replying to the assault made upon Jiim. to bring the Senator's (Conduct jbej for the Senate for such action as ! might be deemed just and suitable for such, a transgression. tie tneretore onered a preamble and that : the Senator resolution. stating from Florida had charged him in debate; with personal Re sponsibility for the outraging of women and the murdering of children and the destruction of happiness of 'the house holds in (he South by men who were emissaries behind him, and' that the Senator had, in addition, inserted the following paragraph which he. had not spoken : ; ";!"!-. ; , ; j "The blood of Saunders, if the evi dence shall show his death was in any way connected with the prosecutions tin the U. S. Courts, with the rest of his conscience shrieking ghosts of Outraged and' murdered women and children, vic tims of a race who owe all that; thby know of religion and civilization to the. Southern whitepepple, and not to the Senator from New . Hampshire, will dis turk his sleeping and his waking hours. Like Banquo's ghost it will not down and certainly will not wash his blood stained hand from the guilt of "rape and murder of these tender white women and children." t i The resolution condemns such action as a breach of privilege, for which the Senator (Call) is jcensured, and orders that the words so inserted and the para graph so added, be stricken from the report in the Congressional Record. j Mr. Call j defended his course in the matter, asserting that he had fn debate expressed Substantially the same idea as was expressed in the additional ; park graph. He had Simply changed the phraseology, as he had a right to do, and therefore the statement made by the Senator from New Hampshire was not true.- lit was the first time in his eleven years' service in the Senate that he heard it claimed that it was not ad missible for a Senator to correct, to ex plain, to amplify language used by him, so as to expressj more clearly the idea intended to be conveyed. ! i . Mr. Chandler repelled the intimation that anything which he had said was not trueJ He desired to have the decision of the Senate on the question presented he only asked that the Senate Should decide whether such language might be used by one Senator in relation ta another Senator, and whether the Sena tor from Florida was to be permitted, with his pen, alone in his room, to write out additional charges and send them to the Public Printer, to be published throughout the country as if - they had been actually spoken in the Senate. He sent tne original oi me oDjecwonauic paragraphs by a page to Mn Call, aiid asked whether that was in his hand-' writing, i. . . ... . Mr. Call said' hat this was an extraordi nary performance oh the part of the Senator from New Hampshire, and he repeated his assertion that he had in de bate clearly and distinctly charged the Senator with the responsibility for the death of Saunders and for other in iquities committed in the South). The report when it came to him was not, he said, a fuil and accurate report of his Re marks, and he was authorized to correct and to transpose, and he had done 'no more than that, y ' l Mr. Teller expressed the opinion that i there should be no tamper ing j with the Record except to correct grammatical mistakes; cer- tainly nothing of a denunciatory char-j acter ought to be added to the report; Mr. Harris suggested that the resolu tion should be printed and go oyer till to-morrow, and the Senate could deten- mine the proper disposition of it. His own idea was that it should be referred to the Committee on Rules. "I Mr. Hoar spoke of the necessity that the Record should be one of i photo graphic correctness, as therein lay the sole saletvof everv Senator s reputation lor his action in the senate. - Mr, Vest ridiculed the idea of the ''photographic correctness" of the Record, and alluded to the; tact tnat a lew years aero some speech was published as hav ing been delivered Dy two anterent repre sentatives,! and had been prepared! by neither. '. !' j . ":,, i Mr.' Sherman thought that the proper disposition of the report would be its re ierer.ee to the . committee on i-rivneges and Election, and said that the' estab lished custom of the Senate had been that nothing of a personal character, which was; not uttered, should be inject H into thi renort.

Ttree questions! he said, presented themselves at the' thres hold, which would nawe to pe answereu in the affirmative by those who supports ed the bill These wefe First, is the bill ssnctioncd by the provisions of the red eral Constitution ? Second, are f its orovisions: which affectT the distnbu tion of the! fund between the "States and between the tjeo races in Jthe States iust: and beneficial? Third, is it the part of wisdom arid practrcaL states manship for the National Government to embark ion this boundless sea of restrained 1 unlimited legislation ? un He took the negative of t jwse three proposi tions, and went on to argue in support of his view of the question." ( Mr. Coke obtained the floor. I ' Mr. Blair said he Would furnish the Record certain tables in refutationJ of the. statements made DV Mr. Faulkner, Mr. Piatt said that he did not desire to insist that the discussion should gd on to-day.' He was willing that the Senate should indulge the Senator from IjTexas so that he miht mate his speecn tO' morrow. But the Educational bill had held its place as "unfinished business since the 3d of February, and he should insist, after to-day. that the bill; when taken uo should be discussed and its consideration continued during every available hour that the Senate would sit until a vote was reached The bill ought not to block the work" of important busi ness that was now on the calendar seeK ing for consideration, f ' I After a brief executive session the Seriate, at 4.30. adjourned.

All of these people had gatner- ed td Witness the' deciding struggle be tween the adherents of the cities of New York, Chicago, St: touts and Washing ton, upon the result I of which depends the location of, the World's Fair of 1892. Chaunccy Ms f Pepew, Mayor Creiger and a h6st df representative men were to be seen in trie reserved galleries. Representative O'Neill, of Pennsyl vania,. opened the .proceedings by pre senting John E. Reyburn, the successor of late Representative Kelly, of Penn sylvania. Mr. Reyburn took his place be- iore the bar and; was1, sworn in by the Speaker. : . f '- i- ; -:: 1 he Speaker announced that the total number of votes cast twas 805, and 153 was a majority. ? During the can many members Jcept tally for themselves, and so it happened that when ; Mr. Mason's name was called, he shouted out "sixty- five," meaning the total number of votes cast for Chicago up to that; point, but j 1.: ..ir r : i .i . t.rt-- luiiclicu iiinibcii linrneuiaieiy to : vni- cago to the amusement of the House. Chicago people were! jubilant upon the announcement of the yote but were re strained from j expressing i their feelings openly by reason of th Speaker's cau tion to the House to refrain from any demonstration, t During the recapitula tion of names there were signs of con sultation among the leaders, and the Chicago and Washington people looked with suspicion upon Mr. Dockery. of Missouri, when jhe approached Amos Cummings, of New York, and held a whispered conversation I with him for a moment. i. "! ! ; , . ; .. i .. i The Clerk reaxl the special order of the House, prescribing the 'method of voting upon j the site for' the Fair, re quiring some one place to have a majori ty of the votes, cast, i '!'; .

I There was' some applause as the first few responses i were made, j which was promptly checked by the Speaker. The vo.te ; 1 resulted Chicago 115, New York $2, St.! Louis 62, Washington 50, scattering 1. j As soon as thcj resu't of the second ballot had been announced, without af fording opportunity for discussion, the Speaker stated that no city had received a majority of the votes cast, and accord ingly directed the Clerk to again call the roll. So the strident voice of the j. read ing clerk agairi began the call. There was a good deal oi ill-suppressed excite ment visible, which was barely , justified by the result, although the New York and Chicago people professed their sat- staction. the othcial announcement was : 1 otal vote aufo ; necessary to a choice, 154 ; Chicago 127 ; New York 92; St. Louis 53 i Washington 34. As compared with the second ballot this showed a gain for Chicago of 6, New York; 9, and a loss for St. Louis and Washington of 6 and 12 respectively. 1 he clerk had no chance to rest for ig noring appeals of certain members, who had been at'luncheoii, to be allowed to record their ballots, a practice forbidden by the new rules. , 1 he Speaker agam directed the roil to be called. This was the fourth bal lot, and it resulted in the casting of the same total vote, 800. The details were: Chicago 134, New York 95, St. Louis 48, Washington 29. 1 he Chicago I men brightened visibly at the result, for they had gained seven v otes, as against a gain of only three for New York, whilst St. Louis lost live (the beginning of the end in their case), and Washington three. : i ! ! V i . . Even without waiting for a recapitula tion on the votes, the reaping Clerk, showing signs of weariness, began the monotonous roucau over once more. ,s the call progressed ths Chicago men begau for the hrst time to show symp toms oi uneasiness, and Mr. Mason and Mr. Springer, who were doing the larger part of the whipping-inj redoubled their efforts, hurrying pages Into the restau rant and committee rooms after absent members and , routing out others from the lobbies and cloak rooms. Mr. Flower was keeping tally for the New Yorks, and greeted every accession with sniile. tram his seat in the centre Mr. Hitt was doing the same for the Chicagoans. and he appeared to be the least anxious of a little knot of earnest whisperers in his vicinity. ! v 1 he fifth ballot showed a total vote of 312, and the apprehensions of the Chicagoans were justified, in a measure,. for New York gained htteen i votes, while Chicago added six to her column. All was ; excitement at the i roll-call again., it was apparent tnat southern members who had steadfastly supported St. Louis up to this point were . begin ning ; to break awayr and were i going over to News YOrk consequently the expectations of the Newj Yorkers were at the highest point, and ; indeed in this vote they polled their full strength, but gained only! six votes, While Chicago gained nine, J and St. Louis and jjWash- ngton kept up their steady retrogres sion, tne former ; losing ten ano tne lat ter jive votes. S ; i The New York people were disomfit- ted at their small gain, and began to realize that they could do ro more- The desertion of Mr. Wade, of Missouri, from St. Louis to Chicago, added to their alarm, so the ' reading of the vote was demanded, not to verify it, ibut to secure time j for consultation. Heads were to gether all oyer the Ilouse, and the result was shown just as the roHiCau was be gun, by Mr, Wilson's rising and moving a recess until to-morrow 11 o'clock. There was a shout of disapproval and derision from j the : compact Chicago forces, and when the Speaker attempted to put the question several Chicagoans were; on their feet with points of jj order, alleging that the motion came too late that the rollcall had begun!: The Speaker, however, declared that he had recognized Mr, Wilson before the first name was called, and put the question Without waiting for a viva yocie vote Mr. Wilton demanded the yeas and nays, and they were ordered, j There was much excitement oh the floor at this point. Mr. Flower, of New York, was hurrying about from one man to another, pointing at the clock,! which indicated the hour of 4:30 p. m., and urging a recess. Rumor ran over the western side of the Hall, where Chicago was in force, that it was the purpose of the New Yorkefs to arrange over! night for the transfer of their strength and that of St. Louis, to Washington, and the fact that Wilson (in charge of Wash ington's interest) was leading the move ment; tended to add currency to the ru mor. If such was the purpose, however, it failed signally, for on the yea and nay vote the West clannishly rallied togeth er,. and the House refused to take a re cess by a vote of yeas 138, nays 174. The i,niagoans were, in ieverisn. impatience, fearing some dilatory tactics that would lose them the advantage they held. Mr.; Mason rushed forward -to the clerk,! exclaiming, ! "call the roll," "call the roll, j JNewj Yorks backbone was broken, however, j and there was little further opposition. The clerk again took up his list and began "Mr. Abbytt,, etc.. down the rolli The result was 311 votes Chicago, 154; New York, 112 St. Louis, 29; Washington 17. The majority would be 156, and Chicago was just two votes short. ! i There was an agony of expectation when Mr. Mason dragged Mr. Keyburn, the new member: forward1.. He said he wished to change his viste from New YorktQ Chicago, and did so. He was ereeted with applause and evidently ex TmH a etamnflde for Chicaco but he was disappointed. Ndbody ioli lowed his example, and Chicago's total stood at J55 one less, than a maiomy.

Washington, February 25. The res olution offered yesterday byj Mr; Chan dler, censuring Mr Call for interpolating in the official report of the proceedings of the Senate, a paragraph that had not been spoken; and that was unparliamen tary and personally offensive was taken up,. and Mr.; Sherman moved its refer ence to ' the' Committee on! .Privileges and Elections. j ' j Mr. Call stated as a matter of personal privilege, thatthe Washington Posi con tained an article this morning with the head lines "Call's Bitter Remarks He Slipped a Paragraph! into the "Congressional Record." That, Me. Call said, ', was a falsehood.) It conveyed a false impression. He had slipped into the Congressional Record nothing that-had not been inj substance uttered on the floor of the Senate. That paragraph, with the . exception of a few words, had bepn literally uttered on the floor. He gave notice to the Senator from New Hampshire who had arraign ed him by the resolution, that he (Call) would arraign him (Chandler) before the Senate, and would demand an investiga tion by a committee for his making an accusation" that was untruei. The re marks of the Senator- proved that he knew that thi -.rrp-; true He (Call) would convict the Senator on evidence of his own, that would convince him before a! jury of respectable New Hampshire Republicans; that he; did hear and know that he- (Caliy had uttered on the floor pf the Senate sub stantially the j whole of the Charge ton tamed in thel paragraph, and, with very few exceptions, every word contained in it. He gave notice to that Senator that he (Call) would not submit tamely to the imputation put upon j him. ) He would not ask censure by the Seriase of the Senator from New Hampshire, but he would leave him to the just judg ment of public opinion throughout the country, for having heard his (Call's) remarks and j having" had neither) the courage hor manhood to resent them. Mr. Sherman declared that the rules of the Senate had just been violated; by the Senator from Florida, in as gross a manner as he! had ever witnessed, He had not chosen to interrupt the Senator; but the Record would show what he. had said, and he Hoped that the Committee would examine it. When the Senate of the United Stiates came to such a condi tion that the jword "coward T (Could be applied to k Senator, arid that a Senator could be charged with stating a thing falsely, it seemed to him thatthe Senate was receding from the dignity which had distinguished it from I the foundation af the government, j He hoped that the Senator from Florida would read oyer the report of what he had said, and not have published in the Record language which in any general assembly in the world would be regard ed as disorderly and improper. ; Mr. aii ti l nave vioiatea any iruie of the Senate! by any observations which I have made to-day or formerly, 1 with draw them arid I apologize to the Sen ate. 1.

If I am not at liberty, when? a resolution reflecting on me is offered 'here, to state that it is not true, and that I can proye that it is not true, and tha the Senator, when he made the charge, khew it was not true, then I do not understand -the rules of the Sen ate. Bui ff. in the judgment of any jen- ator, it is improper to use that language. I withdraw it, and apologize; for it; r Mr. chandler I will not teply to the gentleman from Florida this morning in unparliamentary language.. ! i nave sta ted in the resolution which is now be fore the. Senate, and which I am willing to have referred to the Committee on Privileges arid Elections; what the! con duct of the ISenator i f rora Florida has been. I have recited the words which he used, and the alterations which he, j ut o;.:i ; I Thu kits UlclUC III LUC U1UUU icpuil. lliu ia,w are stated in the preamble.; The j facts are true. The complaint which I made was that the jSenator had inserted in his remarks words which he .had! hot uttered. I did notcomplain in the.reso lution of the language which he did utter as being unparliamentary. When that questioij goes ! to the - commit tee with the resolution, I hope- that the committee will take occasion to in form the Seriate and the country, wheth er or not the language used by the! Sen ator was parhariientary, and j what language may be used by Senators in re lation to each other; wnetner in tne at tack or in Ithe defense. The Senator used the language about me which I did not hear; hef wrote lhe language in the report accusing me of all crimes n the decalogue, f nd he has now this morn ing cnargeaj me wun Deing acowaru ior not replying to that which I did not hear and to that which he afterwards wrote in the Record report, When the Senate has decided on tnis stage wnat language it is parliamentary to use, I will take occasion to defend myself from all imputations of the Senator from Florida. I i ; ! Mr. Hawljey-H suppose that the mat ter should go promptly to the Commit tee on Privileges and Elections, and that it is hardly proper to continue the dis cussion of it. But the remarks made a few minutei ago by the Senator from Florida, tenjpts me to say that, however much he may! reproach the Senator from. New Hampshire for not; hav ing responded o his bitter and personal onslaught, I, with most of the Senators on. this side, would have pro tested in language as indignant as if it was directed against tnem, against that gross violation pf parliamentary law, which; he says he committed ihe Other day, and which I say he did not. Mr. Harriss contended that the reso lution should be referred, not to the Committee on Privileges'and Elections, but to the Committee on Kuies. i The question was taken on Mr. Sher man s motion to reler the resolution to the Committee on Privileges and Elec: tions. and the motion was agreed to. It was also' ordered thatthe proceed ings of the Senate on the day in ques tion shall not be stereotyped until fur ther orders.! I I - Mr. Call offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the Commis sioner of Fish and Fisheries for infor mation as tq the production and gather mg of sponges in the united states, and as to the best means of increasing the sponge industry. At 2 o'clock the Blair Educational bill was taken up as "unfinished busi ness," and Mr. Coke addressed the Sen ate in opposition to it. He Opposed it, he said, because it clearly violated the Constitution, and because as a measure of policy it was most unwise and mis chievous.

" ) The Vice President The statement has been made by the Senator j from New Hampshire that a brief which he has prepared is a condensed statement of the petition. The Chair is of opinion that tnejbenator has the right, to com plete the reading of the paper, j! Mr. Berry If it comes from the Sen ator from New Hampshire himself J do not think that it can injure either the State of i Arkansas or the people of Ar kansas, ! Therefore I have no objection. Mr, cnanoier, lronicauy-f-i any very much obliged to the Senator frorn Ar kansas for the pleasure of being informed that the petition on this subject can be E resented in the Senate of the-United tates with the consent of the Senator from Arkansas. , . . - Mi! The statement was then completed, and the j resolution, with several others from Arkansas on the same subject, was referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. I i ! Mr. Call offered a resolution, iwhich went oyer till tp-morrow, in relation to lands claimed by the Florida central and Peninsular Railroad Company, between Waldo and Tampa, directing the Attor ney General to institute proceedings to prevent' any further sales of such lands until action be taken by Congress! j At 2 o'clock the Blair Educational bill was taken up as unfinished business. Mr. lngalls inquired as to the time when the bill was likely to be' disposed of., remarking that it stood in the way of many important measures,, and giving notice that he would insist that its con sideration. should proceed with dispatch. Mr. Blair said that the bill had ; been under consideration since; the -5th of February, and had been proceeded with as rapidly as the Senate was willing to proceed with it, rie was anxious to bring it to a conclusion as rapidly s pos- ible. There was no more important measure before the Senate, At least five or six Senators had notified him of their desire to speak upon it. . j ! Mn Reagan addressed the Senate-in opposition to the bill. He said that he naa presented to tne oenate in ine last Congress such views and authorities as seemed to demonstrate that the passage of the bill was not warranted by the constitution. It was not his purpose again tb enter On a full discussion of the character and provisions of the bin. Lven if he had not before done so, the learned and able discussion of the sub ject by the senator from West Virginia, ( aulkner), ana by his colleague, r Coke), had made it unnecessary for him- to do o. He should, therefore, limit ins re marks to presenting some of the authori ties which he had then used, to !show that there was certainly no express grant oi power in me constuunon iqt suwi legislation, and that' legislation as to local and domestic, questions 'in the States was left exclusively to thej States. Mr,; Wilson, of Maryland, also! argued against the constitutionality of the bill. Mr. Blair replied to some of the points made in Mr. Wilson's speech arid also in the speech a few days ago j of Mr. Faulkner's, He referred to a newspader report of an attempt being made in the State of Virginia to' restrict the! school tax raised from whites to the education of white, children, leaving that raised from colored tax-payers to be used for Colored schools, and he showed that un der one of the sections of the hill no State that made any such distinction could derive any advantage from the bill.. ;!-.-'- .; ' .. 4 '. " After a brief executive session , the Senate at 4.45 adjonrned. I ! HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr, Rowell, of Illinois.' called up the contested election case of! Atkin son vs. Pendleton, from the First'Dis- tnct of West Virginia. It was agreed that six hours of debate should! be al lowed, after which the previous question is to be considered as ordered. 1 1 The case of the contestant; wai cham pioned by M,r. Rowejl, and Mr. Pendle ton's claims were maintained py Mr. O Ferrall, of Virginia. Mr. Rowell was seconded by Mr. Lacey, of Iowa, and Mr. O'Ferrall by Mr. Wilson, Of Mis souri.
