Washington. Feb. H The right of

was again the subject of controversy in
the senato Thursday. Senator Stewart's
resolution came up under the rule, and
Senator Butler's motion to refer it to the
judiciary committee was the only oppo
sition. Senator Quay took a decided
stand m iavor of (lisjwsing of the matter
in open session, instead of giving it a de
cent burial by referring it to a committee
from which it would never emerged, and
intimated Senator Sherman gave to the
country an apparent justification of Sec
retary Carlisle's action when the Ohio
senator clearly knew it to be illegal. A
strong speech was made bv Senator
Teller, in which he deprecated the de-
plorablo financial condition of the conn-
try, and called upon liis Republican col
leagues to bear their fair share of the re
sponsibility of the causes and not attempt
to throw upon the Democratic party the
entire burden of devising remedies for the
