Mr. Shrndor ( hid ) srdd thai every man on this floor \vas elected on a platform which plcdccd htm to vote for n usury law , mid tlmt till ? petition , coming from a corporation , was entitled to no consideration whatever and was nothing less than an insult to this house and therefore moved that the petition Uo laid upon the table.

IIowo defended the sacred right of the petition. Mullen ( hid ) of Holt was in favor of a usury law , but believed tlmt corporations should bo treated just the same as individu als , and that the petition should bo referred to the appropriate committee.

" Little attention was paid to the document because it was known to ho mi ox parto pres entation of tlio case. Tbo afternoon had well advanced when the document caught Senator Swit/.lor's ovo.

Ho emphasised the announcement that it had been printed uy omer 01 inn oumimuco on pruning 01 ttio Htato senato. Hedcsircd to ask tno chairman of that committee if ho had Issued any such order. Senator Pay rose nml said that the commlt tco on printing had no knowledge whatever of the document. Senator riwltzler then called on other mem bers of tup committee , and Senator K sleston said that bo hud no Information on the sub ject. Senator Hill also disclaimed all knowl edge of tbo proceeding. Senator Switzler then directed his atten tion to Senator Ktoveiib , in favor of wlio.so bill the pamphlet bud evidently been Issued. The latter gentleman In n somewhat oin- ban-assort man nor said : "My under.stumling is that n majority of the commlttco ordered It. " The words were not audible cither to the chair or half the senators , whereupon Senator Stevens was compelled to repo.it the explanation. Senator KwlUlerMay 1 uslc the gentleman \vhutlioumlurstamlsbva majority , it there are only ilvo on tlio comcitltoo und three of those disclaim all knowledge of the matter and Senator Shea is sick ! ' ' This question nettled Senator Slovens and a warm glow came to liis chceit. Ho rose , however , with considerable deliberation mid mortification mid remarked : " 1 am not on the witness stand. Hut If the gentleman wants in formation on the subject mid ho will proceed about It In the right manner I will turnlsh him with facts as to what he wftuts to kuow. I haven't aiiythmp-to conceal. " Senator Hwltzlvr said then that If the doc ument had not been ordered by the commit tee It should have no place mwn their dusks. Besides the senators already named Mr. Stevens Is also a member of the commlttco | on printing. It Isaciiic.stlonof voracity t boj j I tween him and Bonatow Day , Hill and JOgglos- 1 ton us regards the t-ource whence the order to print the book originated. H Is n difficult majority to overcome.

Tliero Is a fear , , however , that ho will bo supported hy all the republicans , because , thov hold , other things being equal , they would much prefer to strengthen their forces by another member. Collins is therefore In the midst of con jectures. Ills retention or rejection will menace half a doian Interests , those even of tbo majority of the .senate it-solf , It is for this reason , it is , believed , that the committee tins thrown the settlement of his casoluto the main body , where it unist be decided before - fore long.
