The Senate resumed consideration of tho
S300OOO0 appropriation passed March 3. 1891.
and suspended by the President in payment
for the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian lands,
Alr. Dawes continued bis argument IN favor
Of the pending resolution which recited that
for the reasons set forth IN the accompanying
report Of the Committee on Indian Affairs
tho Senate was of opinion that there was no
sufficient ground for Withholding the eNecu-
ton of the law making the appropriation.
After further discussion the resolutions
were passed-yeas, 43, nays l3.
Mr.. DOlph, according 70 notice, called mp
the bill TO make crimes against foreign clt-
zens of the United States punishable in the
United States court. concuuently with the
State courts. according to the penalties pre-
scribed by the laws of the several States.
Dir. Harris SAID this was most important
departure in criminal iurisprudence and lie
thought It should at least receive the sTutlny
of the law committee Of the senate. and be
moved 20 refer IL O. the judiciary Committee.
Alr Hale concurred with Alr. Harris.
Mr.. Morgan one of the Committee on For
eign Relations which reported the bill sar-
castcally remarked that the law committee
of the Senate was undoubtedly composed OF
the greatest lawyers ln the world, and only
few scattering fragments OF lawyers hac
found their way into the Committee on For
eisn Relations. He instanced the Italian in
cident in New Orleans as showing the neces-
sity for the law. and said he saw no grounds
for the wild apprehensiOns Of the denial of
States rights which some senators seemed
10 entertain.
