TWENTY-NLNTH CONGRESS
! ~ AIl FIRST SESSION.
Tur,pAr, December %, 1896.
IN SENATE.

The Journal of yesterday having been read, -
Mr.. WEBSTER stated that he had received by
the morning mail, memorials against the admission
OF Texas into the Union signed by many thousand
individuals; the bill for the admission of Texas,
however had passed the Senate yesterday, and
these memorials therefore were too late; perhaps,
however, they would do for Cuba, and he would
move that they be laid upon the table. The memo
rails were laid upon the table. e9
Mr.. JENNESS presented number of similar
memorials; which also were laid upon the table.
