A resolution providing for the elec tion of Senators by direct vote of the people has been favorably acted upon by the House committee on election o President... The resolution which was introduced by Mr. No'riss of Ne- uidfejca, makes the tenn, of member- ship f the house four r - . years instead or two. Jioth propositions are to be accomplished by amendments to the constitution. Reason why the term,1 of member should be. four yeara. art stated to be because no party can inaugurate its policy in two years. Deliberations Tame. The deliberations of the House were tame as compared with the two pre vious days : which may. be attributed in a measure to the fact that there was no discussion of the fast mail appropriation for the benefit of tho Southern Kail way. No one 'subject has engendered so much bad feeling in the House in a long time, and it has not been confined to' either, of ' the parties. M There is mueh speculation as to the outcome of the vote, predictions of victory ."being -made by advocates of both sides. A vote may be reached soon, though iu order to do so, the i-egular order, will have , to be displac ed. All of the North Carolina members will be present unless Representative Blaebnrn, Avho is in Greensboro, re maius at home. Representative Pc-u aud Gudger got back to the eity and Representative Small Avill be back. Representative Small and Gudger are committed to the appropriation and Representatives Page, Patterson, Webb, Thomas, and the twa,Kitehens will Vote against it. Some doubt lias been expressed as to how Representatives Pou and Blackburn will vote. Mr. Pou has voted against the appropriation in the past, while Mr. Blackburn has voted for it. Representative W. W. Kitchin hopes to be able to get- iu under the five miute rule to reply to statements that have been made ih-debate! Discussion Near Its End. Iu' the Senate Mr. Aid rich express ed" the opinion- that the. end of the general debate on the railroad rate bill would become apparent before the end of the present week, and that then an agreement upon a day for a vote could be reached. The statement' was made iu response to a' request by Mr. Tillman for such fin agreement There was no other discussion of the rate bill during the day, owing to the fact that no senator was prepared to speak. It was announced that Mr. Spooner would reply to Mr. Bailey ?s speech. The session was almost entirely de voted to the consideration of the con-, fereisce'ireport on the bill providing for tjhe final settlement of the affairs of thp Five. Civilized Tribes of Indians and 'in connection with that report there was a sharp controversy over an amendment inserted by the senate which provided for the ratification of the dispursement of $186,000 of the Loyd Seminole fund made by Special Agent J. E. Jenkins and Administra tor A. J. Brown. " The debate turned ujmui the exceptional fact that the house was insisting upon', the reten tion of a senate amendment from which the senate was appearcntly anx ious to recede. , The debate was characterized by a numebr of spirited IiHSsagc? T between MrTillinaii on the one side and Messrs. Teller and. Ciapp on the other. The South Carolina senator contended that the Indians had been defrauded, while his oppon ents urged that if they had been the proposed legislation did not deprive them of their rights under the law. No conclusion was reached. Some Lively Discussions. After a brief speech by Mr. Lati: mcr-in support of the House railroad rate, bill, Mr. Foraker took :the floor on the measure and consumed practi cally all of the remainder of the. day's session. He . spent some time in the discussion of some of the amendipeuts h'e has suggested to the bill and then entered upon the consideration of the entire question of railroad rate regu lation, urging , again the unconstitu tioualitv of -the pending bill from va rious points of view. He was fre quently interrupted by other Senators. "Mr. Lodge spoke briefly in Support of the practice of granting lower rates on goods intended for export than on those used in domestic consumption. Mr Latimer in his speech said that at the present time seven corporations control practically all of the railroads of the country, and no, argument is necessary to convince a thinking man that his consolidation means the elim ination of competition .and the placing of despotic power in-the hands ot a few men. tiORIH CHI .
