Washington, March r3. Senator
Mitchell of Oiegon to-day reported to I
the senate from tho elections commit
tee the joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution, pro
v id mp for tho election of Senators hy
the direct vote of the people. Tho
committee says tho accompanying
report has approached tho subject of
the proposed change in tho mcttiod of
electing Senators with a (nil appreci
ation of tho gravity of tho subject
and of tho importance of the public
interests involved.
The objections thataro raised to tho
proposed change arc discussed fully.
'Die nmendment, it is held, docs not in
the bllghtcst degreo trench upon tho
s stein upon which tho government is
founded. The objection is not tena
ble that nny proposed change in the
mode of electing seuators can be
ptoperly regarded as an attempt to
deprive the states, respectively as
states, in their sovereign or political
capacity, of their legal representation
in'thc Semite. It proposes a chango
in the mode only tins nnd nothing
more by which the states respect
ively, and tho people there of, shall
chooc their roptcsentatives in tho
Senate. Why, asks the report.nre not
tin people, tho qualified electors of a
state, the proper mouthpiece of the
state in tho election of senators, and
if entitled to speak, then why not di
rectly and for themselves, and not
through their representatives in state
legislatures?
Ono weighty and principal objection
to tho present system of electing Sen
ators, sajs tlie report, is that tho
power and right of tho individual
voter are hedged about and circum
scribed, liis will Is manacled, his voli
tion puralied and he cannot vote for
his choice. It carries with it the im
plication that the people, the qualified
voters, are, for some reason, unlit for
the full exercise of the elective fran
chise. Again, it is held that tho pro
posed amendment is an enlargement
of the right of suffrage on the part of
those entitled to its exorcise under
existing laws, and it tends to render
impobblblo the use o improper
methods to influence Senatorial elec
tions. While it is possible that the
inducements of a wealthy and un
scrupulous aspirant for Senatorial
honors may rench and influence the
majority of a small body In the Legis
lature, such a thing would be impossi
ble were tho decision left to the great
mass of voters.
Another unanswerable objection tho
committee finds to the preseut system
of electing senators Is the great length
of time frequently consumed in the
election and the consequent distraction
tf the lcg'slative minds from business,
to "-ay no '.ilng of the strife, ill feeling
and contention that too often follow
in the wake of such contests. Another
vital objection to the present system
ix Unit in the election of the members
of tho legislature, when such legis
lature has as oue of its duties the
selection of a senator, every consider
ation is lostsight of except the -.olitary
one of how candidates, if elected, will
ote on the question of the senator-
ship, l'ublic opinion, it is argued, de
mands the change proposed; tho
demand is loud una emphatic; pro
nounced as it is imperative, earnest as
it heems to be, although 'unanimous
among the great masses of the people.
The tendency of public opinion, the
leport concludes, is to disparage tho
Senate and depreciate its dignity, its
usefulness, its integrity, its power. If
there is nny cause for this tendency
in the public mind, it should lie re
moved without delay. Tho adoption
of tho amendment will remove preju
dices now existing which are rapidly
becoming deeply und dangerously fas
tened upon the public mind, will dis
slpato all cause, excuse anil pretext
for unjust criticism and will tend to
elente tho character, advance the
dignity and increase the usefulness of
the Senate. .
The minority who oppose tho prop
osition probably will file a report
later.

.Strom; otc.
W siiinoton, March 21. Tho debate
on tins rcolutltm to censure Mr. ltay
aid. which has already occupied the
attention of the llouso for two days,
was resumed to-day under an agree
ment entered into yesterday to take a
vote at 2 o'clock.
Mr. Adams of l'ennsylvanin, who
was minister to llr.tjril under the Har
rison administration, favored the reso
lutions and said Mr. llayard's long
service and commanding position us
an American mnde his offense more
llagranland reprehensible. To show
Mr. llayard fully recognized his po
sition as the representative of tho
whole people, he read from n speech
delivered a year ago by Mr, llayard at
Wilmington, Del,, in which the am
bassador said: "t represent no party
as ambassador to Great Britain, but
my country and my own people."
Mr. Kalrchild of "Now York, took is
sue with the majority of tho foreign
affairs committee as to the character
of Mr. llayard's ofTensc, expressing
regret that the commlttco had not
hi ought in articles of impeachment
instead of censuro Mr Bayard's ut
terances, he nrgued, constituted a
criminal libel within the definition of
the law, and, In view of his exalted
position, a high crime against his
country.
Mr. Wheeler of Alabama, in oppo
sition to the resolution, said that this
attack on Ambassador Bavard cnino
from Massachusetts, a State that be
lieved in protection for protection's
sake. Major McKiuley hud, on this
floor, nrgued in favor of high protec
tion for iron cotton ties as absolutely
necessary to their production in tills
country." Cotton tics had been placed
on the free list by tho Wilson bill, yet
ho reud a telegram from Youngs
town, Ohio, chronicling the first ship
ment of cotton ties to Bombay, India.
After several other membeis had
spoken briefly it was decided to vote
on the resolutions censuring Mr. lltiy
ard separately.
The first resolution, beiug that cen
suring Ambassador Bayard, was
passed by a vote of IsO to 71. Six
Democrats voted for it nnd five He
publicans against it.
Messrs. r.'u minings of Now York,
Bailey of Texas, Latimer of South

Coekrell of Texas, voted with tho He
publicans for the resolution, and
Messrs Cook of Illinois, Draper of
Massachusetts, Willis of Delaware,
l'itney of New Jersey and Baker of

Democrats against it.

Senator Vent tin the 1'loor.
Washington, March ill. During tho
consideration in the Senate to-day of
a resolution to open the Uncomphagre
reservation in Utah, Sccrotary Uoko
Smith wns severely criticised by
Messrs. Cannon of Utah, Wolcctt of
Colorado, and Vest of Missouri.
Mr. Vest su'ul that tliere had been a
time when a cabinet olllcer who de
liberately disobeyed tho law would bo
broueht before the our of tho senate,
but that it was now quite common for
such officers to rcfuso to carry out tho
law. He said that tho opening of tho
asphalt reglous on that reservation
would result in greatly cheapening
the product.
Mr. Vest declared that this course of
mjllifying laws had grown to such an
extent that it had become reprehensi
ble, Koftrriug to the proposed notion
of Secretary Morton, in complying
with the seed resolution, he said It
would not be carried out so us to so
cut u an efficient distribution of seeds,
but that tho Secretary should act in
such a way us to place upon Congress
the appearance of wasting tho appro
priation. A to the rneoinpahgre
reservation and Secretary Smith, lio
declared that the Sect clary and tho
President the President acting on the
suggestion of tho Secretary decided
that Congress did not know what it
was doing. There wns a disposition on
the part of the administration not to
treat the people of tho West fairly as
if they did not know what they
wanted. lie leferred to the address
of the President to the Presbyterian
mission board in New Yoik, tho Pres
ident standing on the thresholds of
the rum holes and places of vice in
Isoiv York and saying that tho people
of the West needed missionary aid.
He had heard that the President hod
lately laid his heart at tho feet of
.lesus. He was glad to hear II. He
had feared that the President had do
nated all his adoration to tho mug
wumps and iucenso burners.
Senator Vest said that if the Presi
dent would hunt less ducks in North
Carolina and silver Democrats In Ken
tucky, it would be better for the coun
try. Ho declared the refusal of pub
lic ofiicors to obey the law had become
so llagrant that it demanded tho at
tention of tho legislative branch of
tho government.
Mr. Vest o ire red an amendment to
exempt asphalt lauds from tho opera
tions of the law opening the reserva
tion. Senator Vilas pleaded for time to
consider tho resolution. Its passage
would be a reflection upon the Secre
tary, and even upon tho President.
The Uncompaligro reservation bill
was finally laid nsidc after being mado

pending Arkansas claim bill was dis

Washing ton, March 21. In the

tjie journal dispensed with mid the
Cuba resolution taken up. Then Mr.
Sherman yielded temporarily to Mr.
Allen of Nebraska to state his views
or. Hie claim of Mr. Dupont of Dela
ware. The .statement had more than
jiasslug interest, a the six Populist
votes in the Senate ate regarded as
decisive in the contest and this was
the itr&t expression from u Populist
Senator. Mr. Allen contended that
Mr. liupont was not entitled to a seat
without a certificate of credentials
from the executive of the State and
that w hen this was lacking as in this
ease, the courts of the State compel
the issuance of the credentials by the
governor.
Messrs. Mitchell and Chaudlcr called
attention to the fict that senators
now sit in the chamber who did not
hold credentials from tho governor
and Mr. Mitchell sarcastically added
that this disclosed Mr. Allen as the

Many of tho new swell frocks would

young woman who & something of an
artist and who lays great streBS on tho
beauty of her gowns, designed by her
self, went to a celcbrnted designer for
n gown, but told tho great man very
decidedly that Bhe did not wish so
much as n speck of black upon it. "Very
well," said ho, and no black was used.
In duo time the gown was finished and
sent to her hotel. Tho result waB far
from satisfactory. "What ails it?" she
asked her friends. No ono could tell,
but nil pronounced It flat and lacking
in chick. In great wrath tho lady took
the gown back.
"It haa no Btyle," she declared.
"Very true, but if you will allow mo
to follow my own tastes, 1 will please
madam," said the designer.
The gown waB for a big dinner, and
was made up of brilliant rose, pale
pink and silver brocaded In soft tones,
with no decoration save its own rich

her gown It had n tiny edging of black
ostrich trimming on tho edgo of the
