WASHINGTON LETTER- our Jan. 97- A new scheme is being hatched by Senators to enable their part to the Senate after the 4th of March, that is as daring and audacious anything ever attempted in this country in the political line. he first step in this scheme was taken this week when Senator Chandler, who is an adept in tricky politics, offered a petition in the Senate from Henry A. Du Pout and eleven members of the Delaware legislature, asking that the Son- ate reconsider the vote whereby it declared Mr. Du net en- titled to a seat in the Senate. This scheme never would have been sprung had it not become certain that the Democrats would elect a Senator to fill the Dela- ware vacancy. Those who are behind it do not expect to seat Du Bat they hope by get- ting his before the Senate gain to prevent the seating of the Democrat who will be by the preset t Delaware With me vacancy the be a Majority, l he is filled by a Dim th- must have votes to control the Senate- he petition was referred to the committee u Privileges and Elections, which o five and Demo- but us Set of of th Republicans ma-- Mid have of the Senator who bat just re- turned from a triumphant revived the drooping spirits of those who believe that some- thing ought to be done for Cuba re this session of declaring his intention to devote his time exclusively to gelling something done for Cuba, because he believes that to be the most important question before this Congress.
