WASHINGTON, March 25-(Senate.) |
There was much larger attendance |!
of Senators than usual at the opening
OF the session and the appearance of
grave pre-occupation of mind was man.
itest, especially on the part of the
members of the committee on foreign
relations. The morning business was
hurried through in a perfunctory way
and in less than half an hour after
the journal had been read, the
Senate, on motion of Mr.. Sherman,
went into secret session. At 2:5O
the Senate doors were opened. In
the brief interim before the time fixed
for the obituary references to the late
| Sena' or Hearst, Of California, a bill
was passed providing for public
building at Helena, Mont, at COS not
exceeding 100000.
Senator Stanford, of California,
gave notice of an intention to transfer
the silver debate from the House to
the Senate, stating that on Tuesday
next after the morning hour he would
call up the Senate bill to determine
the value of the legal tender dollar.
At 3 p. m. the Senate passed the
consideration of the resolutions on the
death Of Senator George Hearst, of
California.
Mr.. Stanford, his colleague, gave a
picturesque and appreciative account
of the early struggles of the pioneer
Senator, and of his vast mining and
other enterprises. He was followed
by Mr.. Vest and other Senators, and
at the close of the exercises. the Senate
as mark of respect to his memory,
; adjourned until Monday.
