OF Spain takes very deep interest and which il
has pressed upon this government since the year
1899 The bill has been passed or twice, think,
by the Senate but by both houses TO be
acted into a law and submit TO the Senate that there
are circumstances attending our recent relations with

Mr.. UNDERWOOD. hope the gentleman will name
more distant day. There are various other measures
pending here longer time and OF greater importance
than this. and cannot consent that shall have this
early day assigned TO IT, II will override everything else
want the Cumberland bill and the Louisville canal bill
acted These much more important matters,
which concern the country TO very great extent The
other which assigned for particular days
will consume all the time left between this and the
day mentioned and il we are 10 have special day,
hope will have time TO pay attention to other matters
which have been pending here actually for years
MIR MASON II is doubtless important. In the consid
Grafton Of the senator from Kentucky that those meas
affecting especially the interests Of his constii
uens, and those in the immediate should
receive the attention OF the Senate but submit TO him
that matter that involves the faith and honor OF the
nation, as apprehend this bill does is matter Of
importance TO the nation, and ought 10 receive earlier
consdc ration than those OF merely local interest II is
matter between The governments OF Spain and the United
States, and one in which think senator's will find,
investigating the subject that the faith and honor OF this
nation are both involved do interfere with
the business OF the Senate but must ask for the consd
Grafton OF the bill at earlier day than the senator
would propose.
