"I do not Know wheie you get your Information," answeied the senator. "This Is not the time not the place to discuss the Philippine eiuestlon." Then he made the following state ment' "The leport that I am to assist Mr. Quay oi will lead a fight in bis behalf Is very ridiculous. I nm a member of the committee on pilvlleges and elec tions, and for many yeais was Its ehaliman. It becomes my duty to study the constitutional questions which en- I governor has such light. It was the purpose of the constitution that the senate should always be full, and the finmeis of the constitution had such a contingency In mind undoubtedly. 'I think that It N distlnctlv Indi cated that they hud. by the language of the constitution.

"The Question came up later In the case of Mr. Corbett, of Oicgon and in his iiifco Mime benutois changed their votes and voted to exclude -Mr Cor bett because of his well known opinions on the Spanish question. Under the clicumstanees I said I should not hold myself bound by the action of the sen ators, but If the question evei came up again, If Mi. Quay or the most zeal ous Demociat of any state In the Union weie to present himself to the senate having been appointed by his governor in lecess of the legislatuie, I .should, according to my present opinion, vote to give him his seat without legaul to nny personal, political or party con cent. "But In this point, although I have no special Information, I do not s-e how It Is possible for .senatois who voted against Mr. Corbett, or senatois who voted against the fieu silver senators, to vote foi Mi. Quay without getting Into a veiy uncomfoi table position So it seems to mc quite unlikely that ho will bo seated. I have no especial ud vnntngu for forming an opinion, how ever." Engagement Denied.
