Mr.. Cockrell G1ically)-Or 9.
Mr.. Aldrich-lre is no objection on

Mr.. ingalls, sugsted a further under
standing that the isiness of the morning
hour shall be consiced closed at l o'clock.
Mr.. Allison did d wish it to be implied
that the Senate luld devote day to
morning business
JUST WHAT RALLS WANTED.
Mr. Ingalls, said did wish Just such an
implication. He re,rked that as soon as
the tariff bill, apprriation bills and cleo
ton bill were pass congress would un-
doubtedly adjourn pmptly. There would
be no waiting on theprder Of their going"
but they should ''gst once" Therefore,
whatever was TO be de between now and
the time of adjouraent in the consid-
Grafton of measures dthe calendar would
have to be done iIhe morning hour
He respectfully submAd that there were
several hundred bills the calendar that
were entitled to coIderation, that had
been reported from nmittees and that
ought to receive the atntion of the Senate
at some time. So far he was concerned,
he should, by his vot whenever oppor-
tunity offered, proceedO consideration of
bills on the calendar foryo hours after the
Senate met, believing lat that was the
only way in which alters of general
business would have az consideration at
ell
IGNORED BREED.
Mr.. Cockrell asked WIT was the use of
the Senate passing billwhen the distin-
guished gentleman in citge of the House
did not give any attentidto them. There
were now on the calen,r of the House
hundreds and hundreds { bills passed by
the Senate and no aention paid to
them. Among them vB the bill re-
funding the direct tax. Among them
were also two bills recdly passed and
regarded on the other sidof the chamber
as very important measur-the shipping
bils-and they were being,ft to ''sleep the
| sleep that knows no wakinn
Mr. Hawley did not quitagree with Mr..
1 CockreL He wanted his On ammunition
TO be in order, so that he ould go home
with clear record wIthoutegard to what
was done elsewhere. Th was not his
direct business.
The resolution as to meetVg at IL o'clock
and adJourning at 6 was aged to.
THE NAVY BILL TAEN UP.
Mr.. Aldrich moved to Ioceed to con-
sideration of the tariff bill, I'D the motion
was antagonized by motto by Mr.. Gray
to proceed to considerationof the House
bill for the transfer of the Nenue marine
to the navy departmes and the
by vote of 26 yeas 25 navs.
The republican senator's vdng in the
affirmative were Messrs. Canton, Ingalls,.
Manderson and Spooner. MrCockrell was
the only democratic senator wo voted in
the negative.
80 the Senate resumed conderation OF
the bill for the transfer of he revenue
marine from the treasury deartment to
the naval establishment, and n. Cockrell
continued his argument In oppdtion to it.
THE TARIFF BILL UP AAIN.
Mr.. Cockrell had not conclude his speech
when, at o'clock the presiding officer laid
before the Senate the tariff bill Is the un-
hnlshed business. Mr.. Gray mded to con-
tnue consideration of the revelbe marine
Dill, not desiring, he said. to ant Eonize the
tariff bill, but desiring to have tk revenue
marine bill brought to a concllhon. The
same view of the matter was slHained in
remarks by Messrs. Cullum and ,utIer.
MIR. Dawes opposed and criticised the
persistency Of the friends of be bill in
pressing it upon the Senate in Ne face of
the tariff bill.
Mr.. Frye declared himself friMd of the
revenue bill, and friend after athorough
Investigation. The friends of thaameasure
had occupied but an hour and lalf upon
time. ' - ''io
