Senators Receive Harrison's Mes
sage on the Chill Difficulty.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. est was
evident at the senate end of the capitol
today that large number OF American
citizens had come to the conclusion that
they could "sniff the battle from AFFAIR."
A great many people-male and female
felt convinced that war with Chill was
imminent, so they crowded into the gal
lerieS soma time before the senate as
sembled. There was little interest taken
in the routine proceedings; everybody
was waiting for the message and no ore
would be satisfied with anything less.
MIR. Hoar, from the committee on
privileges and elections, made a report
In the case of Senator Chiffon, of Texas.
concluding with the resolution that MIR.
Chiffon is entitled to retain his seat.
He said that he would not ask action
upon it at the present time. q.
Private Secretary HalfOrd entered
the chamber at 12:40, and he was closely
followed by Secretary Pruden. Capt.
BaSsett lost no time in getting to the
door, and then the regular order was
interrupted by Vice President Nor
toms announcement that the senate
would receive message from the
house of representatives. He instantly
corrected himself and said 1.-The presi-
dent Of the United States" 1t was but
five minutes short of o'clock when the
presentation of petitions for the passage
of the Torrey bankruptcy bill, or the
closing of the worlds fair on the Lords
day came to an end. Then the message
was formally laid before the senate.
and minute later Chief Clerk Johnson
started to read the interesting dOcu-
ment Ordinarily, a presidential COM
muncation attracts practically no atten-
ton, and its reading is the signal for
senatorial disappearance to attend to
other duties. Things were different to-
day. Twenty-Five Democrats and forty
six Republican senators were in their
seats when the reading commenced, and
but one of them moved; that one was
Senator Sawyer, and he, that he might
hear more distinctly, moved down the
center aisle and took possession of a
chair alongside of Mr.. Hayes, the vet
eran Associated Press reporter. There
was no break in the general attention
paid by senators. Conversation was
not INDUCED in at any time, the Demo-
Gratis being evidently as much inter-
ested as the Republicans. No one
seemed to regard the matter under con-
sideration as being in any sense
Faulkner followed the reading,
they having printed copies of the mes
sage in their hands. Occasionally a
senator would be moved by particu-
larly strong point, and would say a
word or two of assent to a neighbor.
When mention was made of the fact
that one sailor had been dragged along
the streets of Valparaiso with iaSsO
around his neck, Senator Vest gave in
voluntary utterance to a sound which
was eSaily construed into an expression
of sympathy for the sailor and a demon
Stration of all anti-Chilian nature. The
reading of the message was concluded
at 80, when Mr.. Sherman, chairman of
the committee on foreign relations, rose
and said:
l move, Mr.. President, that the N essage
ana accompanying documents be printed
and referred to the committee on foreign re-
lation In view of the gravity and impor-
lance of the subject matter, do not think it
expedient to make any remarks. -5
The motion was agreed to ana 500 adj
ditional copies were ordered to be
printed.
MIR. Turpie, from the committee on
privileges and elections reported reso-
luton in the case of Senator Call, of
Florida, declaring that senator duly
and lawfully entitled to his seat. Placed
on the calendar.
d The vice president laid before the
senate communication from Chief
Justice Fuller, of the supreme court,
announcing the death or Justice Brad
ley last Friday. Remarks in eulogy of
the deceased Judge were made by Mr..
Mcpherson and Mr.. Hoar, and then, in
token of respect for his memory, the
senate adjourned till tomorrow.
