The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-08-09
In the Senate,

The proceedings in the Senate to-day
were OF great public interest. The rou-
tine was the same as that of the House
until the Presidents message had been
read. Not often has an executive COM
municatiOn been listened to in the Senate
with such profound attention and interest
as this message was. Every senator was
seated and appeared to be on a nervous
strain not to lose a word.
MIR. Stewart of Nevada, had moved
down to one of the front seats ON the re-
publican side and kept his eyes fixed on
the reader. Messrs. PETER Of Kansas,
Mcpherson of New Jersey, and Hunton of
Virginia, had seats at either end of the
reporters table. Most of the other SEN
ators occupied their own chairs. There
was no difficulty, however, about hearing
the message in all parts of the chamber
The reading occupied about fifteen min
utes.
STEWART OBJECTS TO PRINTING 1T.
AS soon as it was ended Mr.. Voorhees,
moved that it be printed and referred to
the committee on finance.
Better let it lie on the table" said
Mr.. Stewart; 'We may want to make
some remarks about it"
IF any senator makes that request"
Nr; voorhees, replied ''of course will not
insist on the motion"
=, is the introduction Of bills in order?"
Mr.. Stewart asked the Vice President,
