Harisnd, from the Judiciary com.
nltee--To provide for the establish-
OF Colorado. ''io'
Inc senate passed the house bin
autnorizing the Marsh national
oank OF Lincoln, Neb., to change its
name. The bill to provide for the sale
oil the Iowa Indian reservation In Ne
Draska and Kansas was read the
third time, and after short debate
passed.
The chair laid before the senate the
unfinished business of yesterday, he.
ing the pleuro-pneumonia bill,
In the course OF debate, Morgan said
iatitudinarianism seemed TO have be-
come the order of the day, and he
supposed a senator who protested
against the government undertaking
anything 1t pleased, was simply
considered as making himself ridicul.
Gus, but there had never been a more
dangerous and desperate piece Of legis-
lation than was this bill. The power
given by 1t to the secretary of the
treasury was utterly indefcnsible.
Plumb remarked that somebody must
execute a law. He had confidence In
the Judgment of the secretary Of
the treasury, and had no idea
that officer would abuse any power
given him by the bill.
Morgan said the dulcet tones of as.
surance given by the senator from
Kansas (Plumb) In the
officers of the government
were not warranted by recent
history. He (Morgan) had himself
within short time shown
the senate that a man who
had been indicted In the United
States courts and prosecuted by the
Acknowledgement ofthe United States,
for the crime of perjury had actually
been appointed United States marshal
of the middle and southern dis
tricts Of Alabama. The depart
ments of this government as senators
could not but know, were so conducted
as to subserve personal politics, even
party politics being given
but secondary copsidera-
| ton. The rewarded marshal
referred TO was circulating from coun.
| ty to county in his district for the pur.
ruse of influencing colored Republi.
cans to vote for Arthur for president.
| Miller of California offered as an
amendment the measure heretofore re.
ported by him from the committee
on foreign relations, pro
hibiting the importation O
diseased cattle, or those which had
been exposed to contagion, and au
thOrizing the president to prohibit tn,
importation of adulterated food pro
ducts from nations, thai
unjustly discriminate agains
the United States. He said any bill
relating to contagious cattle disease.
was manifestly incomplete thai
did not provide for tn,
exclusion of diseased cattle from
England and other countries, and tina
did not provide for the eXclu
sion of adulteratdd ard pois
oned food products from
all countries. These contagious cattl,
diseases complained of, Miller said
had not originated in America, but hat
come into the United States from
England. Undoubted proof had shown
that no trichinW had been shown any
where In the world in American
meats.
Mr.. Miller said 1t was question 70
the seuate to consider and decid
whether it was tine to give tn
president power to exclud
from the United States articles comm
from countries that causelessly o
without good reason, exclude fron
their own ports articles coming iron
the United States.
Beck said he brough. the matter TO
large to be attached as an amendment
to the pleuro-pneumonia bill.
Plumb moved to lay Miller's amend
ment on the table. Agreed to by yea
81, nays IA. The bill then passed, an
the senate adjourned.
