Washington, Aug. 17.—There wta n

Uiiiforiiiit, Mr Whnf.
Mr. Chandler objected to the oonsld*
er.itiorr of the motion now. It whs ro
sily a resolntio.n and tut such should go
over until tomorrow, under the rule.
“1 take it," said Mr. Harris, that
this Is a privileged motion, and is noit
subject to the rule as to ordinary res
olution*.”
"Has the senator any authority for
that proposition?” asked Mr. Cban-
dk*r.
"It ie privileged,” mid Mr. Harris,
in the fact tha»: it looks to the organi
zation of this body/t
‘it is rather tete/ln the day,” said
Mr. Chandler, sneerlngly, "to tulk
ibout the organization of this body.
Tr*e rules require rwointious to go
over one day, under objection. The va
cancy has exited for moutns, and now,

"it is not necessary,” Mr. Aldrich

side. It Is wfoerthdt we should consult
in regard to Phis nwtter. It can do no
harm, and It may do much good.
"Since the commencement of tariff
legislation there have been blunders.
A few days ago the chairman of the
committee on ways and means in the
house, presumably speaking ex cathe
dra, was demanding of the house of
repreaenttitive* that there Rhould be
free sugar. The Democrats of the
wuntry recognizedd that voice ns the
