"All tho divisions have now joined

Seventy-first Day.- During mast of j
Clio entire session of the Senate Mr. i
Rawlins, of Utah, oeeuplod the floor in
a discussion of the Philippines ques
tion. He went deeply injo the con
stitutional phases of the question and |
his argument was largely legal and
technical. He is opposed to the hold
ing of the Philippines. Under special !
order the Senate convened at. 10 a. m.,
to-day, two hours heforo the regular
hour, being consumed in the reading I
of the Alaskan Civil Oodo bill. Mv.
Allen, of Nebraska, offered the follow
ing resolution, which was passed:
"That the President be requested, if
not Incompatible with public, interest, I
to inform the Senate whether or not
any communication has been received
by this government from its consular
representative at Pretoria, embodying
the request of the Presidents of the
South African republics for mediation
or intervention, with a view to ending
the war now in progress hot ween those
republics a.nd Great Britain, and re
ported 4-n the public press, and if not
incompatible with the public interest,
he furnish the Senate with copies of
such ? communication or communica
tions"
Seventy-first Day. - Personal . expla
nations were made in th^N Senate by Mr
Allen, of Nebraska, and Mr. "Riitler, of
North Carolina, of their, position on
the financial question. Both unnounc- j
ed ?their belief in the free and unlimit
ed free coinage -of silver at tho ratio of
lt> tol. The -statements w+ire called out,
by reports to the contrary which had
gained some circulation. Mr. Turner,
of Washington, made an extended
speech on the Porto Rlcan bill, but
did not conclude his remarks. He
maintained that tho pending measure
clearly was unconstitutional and ex
pressed Ills belief that it would be so
held, if it were pas-.'-d upon by the su
preme. court. Mr. Allen ro:se to a ques
tion of privilege to deny a published !
report th-it ho had abandoned his tree j
silvc-r coinage position. "Nothing that I
1 ever said" lie reman rked. "could by ]
any kind of torture, be construed as a j
lack of faith in .my party platform,
whivh 'declares for the free and un - j
limited coinage of 'Ix.'.ih gold and sJilver |

Mir. Ru'ller said that the report of
