heretofore yielded by PETER and re-
ferred to committee on education and
labor for the improvement for high
roads generally known as the Coxey

verHely. Quay offered a resolution that
the Senate shall hold session SATURDAY.
2lsr, from IL noon to hear committee
organization OF workingmen of the
United States in opposition Of the tariff
bill. The Vice-Presiden asked whether
this had any objection. Cockrell-Les
1t lie over; the resolution went over
without action.
The resolution offered Monday, April
:, by Wolcott, looking to negotiations
for the coinage of Mexican standard
dollars In the United States mints was
agreed to after a brief explanatory
debate.
1t. reads as follows: Resolved, that
the President of the United States, with
q view TO extend and encourage our
com mercial relations with China and
other Astatie countries, be requested, il
not incompatible with the pu bile inter
ests to enter into negotiations with the
republic of Mexico, looking to the
coinage by the United States, at it's
nints, of standard Mexican dollars,
under some proper agreement with the
said republic of Mexico as to seignior-
age, method, and amount of said ooin-
age; and that he be further requested to
report the result Of his negotiations to
the senate.
Aldrioh (Rep.. R ~ desired to make
a suggestion as to the order OF business
and, no objection being made, no went
on: Senators on this side, he said, are
very anxious to proceed with the dis
cussion Of the tariff bill in an orderly
manner-in manner that will consult
the convenience Of Senators, we on this
side OF the chamber, are willing, for the
present-at least, for week. that the
Senate shall meet at ~ o'clock; at the
regular time the tariff bill shall remain
before the Senate until o'clock each
day and that shall be no dilatory voting
ana no votes of any kind within those
hours.
I'm view of this suggestion, hope
that the Senator from Tennessee
(harris) in charge of the bill will not
call up, his motion for meeting ut IL a.
M, and also withdraw his demand for
the reading of tho bill; in the hope and
belief when the matter comes up again
there will be some arrangement made
between two sides on this subject"
harris assented to this proposltio
limiting its operation to tho present
week
Hoar said that ne had speech to
make which would not occupy more
than three seconds. and he asked to
have it read from the clerks desk. The
speech consisted of telegram from
Albany saying that the New York legis-
lature, by vote of 1O2 to 8, had adopted
a resolution thanking Senator Hill for
his appropriate address on tho Wilson
bill.
Gray remarked that the New York
assembly WAS overwhelmingly Repup-
lican.
but not" interposed Hale. "by any
such majority az these figures show"
ITO be historically accurate" said
Aldrich, there is Republican majority
OF fourteen in the New York assem- bly,,
and this resolution must have had about
forty Democratic votes"
The further urgent deficiency bill was
from the committee on appro.
priations, and the Senate thereupon, at
& p. M, adjourned until o.morrow.
