'TWENTY.EIGHTH CONGRESS,
FIRST SESSION.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY "a, 1914.
SENATE.


Mr.. HUNTINGTON presented petition for
reducing postage.
Mr.. WRIGHT, an invitation to the Senate to
be present, this evenings at an exhibition Of the
Blind in the House of Representatives.
Mr.. WOODBRIDGE, for improving the har-
Dor at Buffalo.
Mr.. BUCHANAN, for improving the harbor
at Erie.
Mr. BARROW the petition Of J. H. Caldwell
and others, who have been sued upon custom
house bonds given for duties on railroad irons !;
they pray to be relieved from the suit.
Senate bill (No. 33) appropriating lands for
improving the navigation of Fox and Wisconsin
rivers; the amendments heretofore made were
concurred in.
Mr.. TAPpAN proposed additional amendments,
which changed the character of the bill, and set
apart the land to be given to Wisconsin when the
Territory became State. as6
Mr.. KING was inclined to favor the object Of
the amendment, because he thought the improve
ment would be much better and more economi-
cally made by the State than by the Territory.
All Improvements were best made by those who
were directly interested in them. He would ask
the Senator FROM Louisiana what had become OF
all the money appropriated for the Improvement
Of the Mississippi! The money was gone, but
the snags and mud banks were still there. He
the Senator from Ohio might perfect his amend
ment.
MR.. McDUFFIE's BILL.
Mr.. BERRIEN rose to raise question of or
der before the debate on this subject was extern
ded any further. He insisted that the debate
ought to be confined to the preliminary question
that Of the jurisdiction of the Senate over the
bill they might 90 on and debate for weeks, and
what an inconsistency would it be, after such
an extended discussion, to decide that the whole
subject they had been discussing was not in the
power of the Senate.
The CHAIR had debefated much upon this
question, and was of opinion that there was no
power to restrict the debate as the question now
stood.
Mr.. ARCHER suggested a recommitment Of
the bill.
The CHAIR said that the preliminary question
of the jurisdiction of the Senate ought to have
been raised when leave was asked to introduce
the bill, but the bill having been read, referred to
committee, and reported on, it was now fully
before the Senate !; he would be glad, however.
| to hear the opinion of the Senate on an appeal
| from his decision.
Mr.. BERRIEN said as it was his wish to as
certain the SENSE of the Senate with regard to q
continuance of the debate, he would move to lay
the bill on the table, and leave the resolution tc
be acted on.
The CHAIR decided that the question could
not be thus separated.
| After some further brief discussion.
! Mr.. ARCHER moved to lay the whole subject
on the table, but withdrew the motion to allow
| Mr.. McDufie to answer the Senator from Maine
with an understanding that with his reply the de-
bate was to close M
The Senate then went into Executive session.

OREGON.
Mr.. OWEN moved to take up the adverse re-
port Of the Committee on Foreign Affairs on his
Oregon resolution
Mr.. O. proceeded with his remarks Of Yester-
day. He expressed his sorrow that negotiations
had been again proposed to Great Britain Twice
had we done this already, and now it was her
turn to propose TO us. The people Of Oregon
ought to be protected, and the Territory ought to
be settled by hardy pioneers, who should have
assurance of their rights of possession.
Mr.. THOMASSON agreed fully With the re-
port Of the committee, and thought it altogether
wrong to legis'ate Oh subject, when it was no.
torious that it was in course Of negotiation. He
thought with Mr.. Calhoun, that there was no
necessity Tor immediate action on this subject
The territory was, in process Of being sGttled,

Mr.. WENTWORTH was for taking speedy

*In the speech alluded to (made on the 10Th Feb
ruary, 1925 on the powers OF the Vice President as
presiding officer of the Senate) Mr.. Van Buren, COM
ments on the " attempt" Of Mr. Adams in his inaugu-
raj address, to trace the origin Of the two great POI
ltical parties" !" which, he adds, have divided
the country from the adoption Of the Constitution to
the present days" and, after rejecting Mr.. Adamss
theory, he gives his own in the following words /:
" They (the two great political parties Of Federalist
and Republican, arose from other and very different
causes They are, in truth, mainly to be ascrib-
ed TO the struggle between two opposing principles,
that have been in active operation in this country
from the closing scenes of the Revolutionary war to
the present day-he seeking to absorb, as far as
practicable, all power from its legitimate sources,
and condense it into single head the other
tagonst principle aboring assiduously to resist
the encroachments and limit the extent of Executive
authority.n
