V:0RliI)'S PAIR CHICAGO THE V.NS THc PRiZi EIGHTH BALLOT- ON I La Ilallott Civfn in Detail Kxcitlnc S--ie Durinc YeMertlay' S-lon-Tli Houe Atlioiirnx AtnttUt au Uproar -Senator Chandler'ft 3Iild Objection to Senator Call's Kemark Aout Jiim. Washington, Feb. 2 1 f Senatk., Senator Chandler, rising to a question of personal privilege calfed attention to the fact that the Senator from Flor ida (Call) in debate last Thursday had uttered words" per.-onally offensive to him, .vhich he had not then heard, and had followed up that breach of order by changing and adding to the official report of his remarks a paragraph still more offensive. He (Chandler) deemed it lu's duty, before replying to the as sault made upon him, to bring the Sen ator's conduct before the Senate for such action as might he deemed jut and suitable for such a transgression. He therefore offered a preamplo and resolution, stating th;.t the Senator from Florida, had charged Iiira in de bate with, personal" responsibility for the outraging'of women and murdering of children and the dcotruoti-m of hap piness of households in the South by men who were emissaries be hind hjm and that the Senator had, in addition, inserted the following par agraph which he had not spoken: The blood of Saunders, if the evidence shall show his death was in any way connected with the prosecutions in the United States and the Courts will rest on his conscience shreiking ghosts of out raged and murdered women aud chil dren, victims of the wild luts and pas sions of thrt race who owe all that they know of religion and civilization to the Southern white people and not to the Senator from New Hampshire, will dis turb his sleeping and his waking hours; like llanquo's ghost it will not down and certainly will not wash his blood stained hands from the guilt of rape and murder of these tender white wometi and children. The resolution condemns such action as a breach of privilege, for which Senator Call is censured and orders the words so inserted and the paragraph so added, to be stricken from the report in the-Congressional-Record. SenatorCall defended his course in the matter, as serting that he had in debate expressed substantially the same idea as was ex pressed in the additional paragraph, lie had simplychanged the phraseology as he had the right to do and therefore the statement made by the Senator from New Hampshire was not true. It was the hrst time in his eleven years service in the Senate that he heard, it claimed that it was not admissible for a Senator to correct, to explain, to am plify tho language used bv him so as to express more clearly the idea intended to be conveyed. Senator Chandler repelled the inti mation that anything which ho had said was not true. He desired to have no discussion of the Senate on the ques tion he presented. He only asked that tho Senate should decide whether such language might be used by one Senator in relation to another Senator and whether the Senator from Florida was to bo 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 the original of the objectionable paragraph by a page to the Clerk and asked whether that was in the Senator's hand writing. ScnatorCall said that this was an extra ordinary performance on the part of tho Senator from New Hampshire and he repeated his assertion that he had in debate clearly and distinctly charged that Senator with responsibility for the death of Saunders and for other iniquities committed in the South. The report, when it como to him was not, he said, a full and accurate report of his remarks and cho was authorized to correct and to transpose, and he had donp no more than that. Senator Teller expressed the opinion that there should be no tampering with the record except to correct grammatical mistakes certainly nothing oT a denunciatory character ought to be added to the re port, rl Senator Harriss suggested that the resolution should bo printed and go . over till to-morrow and the Senate could determine the proper disposition of it. His own idea was that Jt should be referred t the committee on rules. Senator Hoar spoke of tho necessity that tho record should bo one of pho tegraphic correctress,as therein lay the sole safety of every Senator's reputa tion for his action in the Senate. Senator Vest ridiculed the idea of the photographic correcUvss" of the record and alluded t the fact that a few years ago the speech was publish ed as having been made by two differ ent representatives and had been pre pared by neither. Senator Sherman thought the proper disposition of the re port would be its reference to the com mittee on privileges and elections, and said that the established custom of the Senate had been that nothing of per sonal character which was not uttered snouid be ejected into the report. Finally on objection of Senator Harriss a. jji a ,wu'"uu went over until to-morrow. A communication from the Attorney General with the report of Marshal Miz ell as to the assassination of Saunders, United States Deputy Marshal in Flor ida was presented and referred to the committee on privileges and elections. At 2 o'clock the Blair educational bill came up as unfinished business ad Senator Faulkner addressed the Senate in opposition to it. Three questions, if Sat! ,,rele-nJed themselves at the threshold whick would have to be answered in the affirmative by those who supported the bill. These were; First, is the bill sanctioned by the pro visions of the Federal Constitution? Second, are its provisions, which affect the distribution of the fund between tho States and between the two races hi I th StHts lust and beneficial? intra, , I is it part of wisdom and of practical Utatesmanhip for the National Gov- I ernment to emoarK on mis oouuui. .

Senator Blair baid he would furnish for the lUcord certain tables in refutation of some of the statements made by Senator Faulkner. Senator Piatt raid 'that he did not desire to iusist that the discussion should go on to-day. Ho was willing that the Senate should in dulge the Senator from Texas so that he might make his speech to-morrow. After a brief execution session the Senate, at 4:30, adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. In spite of the bad day, with rain fall ing and the skies so dark that a full head of gas blazed above the ' glas panels of the ceilingkJL the hall of the House at high noon, when tho Speak er's gavel fell the galleries were packed with spectators and crowds obstructed the corridors. All of these people had gathered to witness the deciding strug gle between the adherents of the citie s of- New York, Chicago, St, Louis and Washington, upon which depended the location of the World's Fair of 1S92. Chauncey M. Depew, Mayor Oreiger and a host "of representative men were to be seen in the resevered galleries. Representative O'Neill, of Pennsyl vania, opened the proceedings by pre senting John E. Key burn, successor of the late Representative Kelly, of Penn sylvania. Mr. Reyburn took his place before the bar and was sworn in bv the S exker. ' ' . The Clerk read the special order of the House prescribing the method of voting upon the site for the fair, re quiring some one place to have a ma jority of the votes cast. Mr. Blount, of Georgia, -wished to know if there would be an opportuuity offered to pass upon the question as to whether there shall bo a fair before select ing a site. The Speaker replied that under the special order this oppor tuuity could not be had and immediate ly directed the Clerk to call the roll. " There was some applause as the first few responses were made which was uromptly checked by the Speaker. The vote resulted Chicago, 115; New York, 72; St, Louis, 61; Washington, oG; Cum berland Gap, 1; (Skinner, of North Carolina.) Total 305 majority 153. The other ballots were as follows: Second Ballot Chicago, 122; New York, 82; St. Louis, 54; Washington, 16. Necessary to a choice, 153. Third Ballot Chicago, 127; New York, 92; St. Louis, 53; Washington, 34. Necessary to a choice 151. Fifth Ballot Chicago, 134; New York,-95; St. Louis, 48: Washington, 29. Necessary to a choice 151. Fifth Ballot Chicago, 140; New York, 110: St. Louis, 38; Washington, 24. Necessary to a choice 157. All was excitement at the sixth roll call. It was apparent that the South ern members who had steadfastly sup ported St. Louis up to this point were beginning to break away and were going over to New York. Consequently tho expectations of the New 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, and St. Louis and Washington kept up their steady retrogression. Sixth ballot Chicago, 149; New York,. 116; St. Louis, 28; Washington, 19; necessary for a choice, 155. There was much excitement on 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 Chi cago was in force, that it was the pur pose of the New Yorkers to arrange over night for a transfer of their strength and that of St. Louis to Wash ington, and the fact that Mr. Wilson, who was in charge of Washington's in terest, was leading the movement tended to add currency to the rumor. If such was the -purpose, however, it failed signally, for on the yea and nay vote tho West clannishly rallied to-, gether and the House refused to take a recess by a vote of yeas 13S, nays 174. On the seventh ballot the vote stood: Chicago, 154; New York, 112; St. Louis, 27; Washington, 17; total 311. Necessary for choice .156 Chicago being just two votes short.There was an agony of expectation when Mr. Mson dragged Mr. Reyburn, the new mem ber, forward. He said he wished to change his vote from New York to Chicago, and did so. He was greeted with applause and evidently expected to lead a stampede for Chicago, but he was disappointed. Nobody followed his example and Chicago's total stood at 155 one less than a majority. The New Yoak fcr-es were retiring in good order and contested every incn of ground. Another roll call was necessary, It was the eighth, and the last, for Chicago achieved her victory, the vote being Chicago, 157; New York, 107; St. Louis, 54; Washington. 18. Necessary to a choice 154. The announcement of the result waa greeted- with tremendous applause by the Chicago adherents. They shouted and cheered while Mr. Law ler waved his handkerchief around his head and shook hands with everybody within reach. The House adjourned at six o'clock in the midst of an up roar.

It was learned to-day that officers of the State Farmers' Alliance had called uporMhe commissioner of.sgriculture and requested full information in" re- c-ard to the fertilizer companies . who had paid the license tax; also as to those who had offered to pay it under protest. The purpose of this action is to see what manufacturers are in the pool, and to prepare a circular which will instruct Alliance people not to nurchase from firms in the pool. The X m mm policy of the commissioner in regard to licenses is having a powerful effect upon the manufacturers. He will issue no llcenes wk3ie protest is made.

The first intimation of the a:- mlKng disaster was a souud resembling thunder, and at the Fame instant a per pendicular wall of water fully, fifty feet high, came rushing dowi the narrow valley with almost incredible force.

The ruined dam is cut from the top almost to the bottom as though' a sec tion had been dragged out and the water above is only a few feet deep. lbaw rains have fallen for several days, and it was apparent that the water in the lake was approaching the danger line.
