SATURDAY, April 30, 1913
In the Senate. on motion of Mr. flanagan,
the reading of the journal was dispensed with.
A message was received from the President
OF the United States, with accompanying pa.
pers.
The message communicates an application
from the government of Yucatan, asking aid
Of the United States IN their defence against
the aggressions of the Indians, and offering in
return to transfer the sovereignty of that Coun.
try 10 the United States. The President re.
commends the subject to the consideration Of
Congress, and gives his views as to the policy
of our government, which ought 10 prevent
| the European nations from establishing colo.
MES IN North America. The danger of this,
in reference to Yucatan, should we refuse aid,
is dwelt upon.
Mr.. Hannegan moved the printing of the
message and documents, and their reference 10
the Committee on Foreign Relations.
Mr. Calhoun made few remarks condem.
natory of the grounds taken in the message
Had the propriety of giving aid been based
exclusively On the question of humanity, be
would have been disposed to go very far =
But there were suggestions in the message,
with which he did not concur, and the tenden.
cy of which was 10 lead us to dangerous re.
suits. He pointed out the sufferings which
had fallen on Yucatan as the unavoidable
consequence of elevating race, closely allied
to the class of slaves. TO an equality of rights
and privileges with the white race The re.
suit is, that they are turning upon and muT.
dering their benefactors. He had felt regret
at the ground taken concerning foreign lnter'
ference. In the present condition Of Europe,
there was no more probability that any foreign
government would take possession Of Yucca
tan than that he should.
Mr.. Hannegan said he was restrained from
replying at this time, although he felt very
anxious 10 reply, because the Senator from 5.
Carolina had clearly misunderstood the Pur'
port of the message-because it was the IN.
Outstanding of the Senate, from feeling Of

body now lying in the agonies of death, that
an immediate adjournment should take place,
lie had been two or three times in the SICK
chamber this morning, and would not 60 mo

MIR. Foote rose to reply to the senator from
South Carolina, but was restrained from puE'
suing his purpose
The motion of Mr. flanagan was then a.
greed TO, and
The Senate adjourned.
In the House, Mr. McCay filed motion 10
reconsider the vote of yesterday, directing LOO
Clerk to receive proposals for binding CERTAIN
extra printed documents.
i Three messages from the President OF h'
y. S. were then successfully taken and con.
sdered. The first, the message relative j"
the Slldell instructions, was laid on the taoIe
the second, that communicating desPalchte'
from our minister to France, was laid on tn'
table and ordered 10 be printed and uPon. M
third, that in relation to the affairs of the eaI
of Yucatan, debate arose on the subject Of Ee
ference, embracing also the question OF the pro
priety of interference on the part OF this gov
eminent, in which Mr. Rockwell, of Mass
led off with a motion to refer to the Commit
tee on Territories, but (under rule OF tht
House, was restrained from his course OF al
