TwENTY-SEyENTH CONGRESS-.
WASnIXcToH, Nav IL. 1912.

May IL lo1-.
In the Senate, the special order :
called, being the bill for remedial JUS
ticc.
Mr.. Huntington of CT, was entitled TO
the floor, and spoke al lenghth in defence
of the bill.
During the day, the President Of the
Senate laid L message before the Senate,
from the President Of the United States,
announcing the gratifying intelligence
that the Florida val was al an end, and
that he had so declared in official COM
munications 10 Florida. He proposed
now that ii force should be left in Florida
sufficient only TO protect the citizens Of
the territory. There were but $50 In
dams III Florida, and only so ofthis num-
Der were warriors.
The President having made the Sen
ate acquainted with what he has done,
now proposes and recommends the sub
iect 10 the attention Of the Senate, 10 have
Florida settled by an agricultural popu-
lation. For this purpose an armed oc-
cupation is recommended, and all appro-
p%riation of bounty land recommended TO
encourage settlement.
Mr.. Preston expressed his belief that
the Senate ought to show some mark Of
respect 10 the distinguished officer who
had commanded in Florida.
The message ofthe President was then
laid on the table, and ordered to be print
ed.
The House of Representatives were in
session to 4 late hour last evening upon
the civil and diplomatic bill.
An appropriation for the New York
Custom House, for the iuliilment of a
contract made upon work for completing
the interior of the building, was the sub
ject OF a long and very spicy debate.
The amendment of the Senate was re-
iccted by a vote of Go TO 81, 4 bare quo
rum vote.
The next subject of debat was Gree
nough's statue of Washington. An APP
preparation of $4,000 was proposed for
a proper pedestal for the statue.
