Washington, Dec. 28.?Rvldence ac? cumulate daily that the Senate is be? ginning to respond to th* widespread popular resentment against the ef? forts of certain influences in and out of the Senate to suppress the Lorimer .scandal, brushing aside as unworthy of consideration the vast mass of testimony and facts brought out to show the bribery and corruption at? tending the election of Mr. Lorimer. The situation has reached a stage now where the fight over the Lori? mer report, In which the Committee on Privlllges and Elections white? washes the Illinois statesman, prom? ises to be the sensation of the ses? sion. During the holidays a number of Democratic and Republican Senators who stayed In Washington have been going over the record ;tnd the more they read the more incomprehensible appear to them the committee's con? clusions. Considerable resentment Is also displayed by some members of the Senate over what they term the effrontery of certain men represent? ing big Interests whose presence in Washington was said to be in the in? terest of securing a unanimously fav? orable report from the committee for Mr. Lorimer and who, It Is as? serted ,1 e no business here except to i Is "vindication." from Towa today that ins will take part in the tenting of Lori ms from other Sen? ate and Republl ?al% certain that ' er< will I offfi d In the Senate a ?Solution thnl Lorimer be unseated, in i accomplished thn uptlon.

The Assembly's counterblast tookl the form of a memorial to the Throne, which recites In scatching terms the career of Prince Ching, whose otlice is that of adviser to the naval department, but who is of* such inlluence in the Government that he has borne a great share of the attack of the progressivei and that of his associates in the Grand Council, by whom it is asserted the country haj been steadily impaired. Arguing that a constitutional regime has been begun already and that .therefore, the Government Is n<> longer vested in its entirety in the person of Prince Chun, the regent, the memorial states that the Throne does not have the right assumed Inj the edict of December 18, in which| the memorial for the creation of ai constitutional governmi nt is reject* ed. i The memorial call* for the im-1 I o i dla te establishment of a ministry responsible to the people. it is reported that the Government! is moving the modern troops with the purpose of suppressing an outbreak.
