He Proposed to Add to His ResoIu-
ton as Originally Introduced.
Washington, July 1l-At the opening
of business in the Senate today question
of precedence was raised between Mr..
Blackburn. who wished 10 proceed with
an appropriation bill, and MIR. Daniel,
who wished to have the resolution of Mr.
PETER, pop, of Kansas, taken up, with his
own substitute offered for it yesterday
Finally Mr.. Blackburn yielded and MIR.
Daniel took the floor.
After the resolution and the substitute
had been read Mr.. Daniel said that, on
consultation with several senators, both
democratic and republican, he would now
offer an additional clause to his Substi-
tute This additional clause was that,
while the Senate explicitly declares its
determination to indorse the executive
in the enforcement Of the laws and in
maintaining the supremacy of the consti-
tuition, il deems it proper, also, to
declare its adhesion to the prin-
ciple of arbitration Of diff
culties and controversies between the
employer of labor and the employees as
recognized in the laws of the United
States, and TO express its condemnation
of the refusal of party to
such a controversy connected with
the late disrbatunces at Chi
cago and vicinity to submit such difficulty
and controversy to fair and impartial ar
bitration, and it's determination also to
use in the promotion of such arbitration,
whatever constitutional powers it may
possess.
wEAKENs IT'S EFFECT.
MIR. Carey, rep, of Wyoming, regarded
this additional clause as a lessening of
the effect of the resolution offered yester-
day.
MIR. Gallinger, rep, of New Hampshire,
explained why he had objected to having
MIR. Daniels resolution reported yester-
day. He had not fully comprehended its
terms when it was read, and he had
asked to take some time to examine it.
He would very cordially vote for the res
olution, and for the amendment proposed
to-day.
Mr.. Dolph, rep, of Oregon, said that he
would be very glad to have substituted
for the resolution and pending amen d.
ment as a simple resolution indorsing the
action of the President in the matter. He
would not criticise the President, but
commend him. If he had been in the
Presidents place, he would have
done what the President did, even
if there had been some doubt in
his mind as to his constitutional
right to do so. II was fortunate for the
country that it had a chief magistrate
who had the backbone to do what he had
done. He minated that the senator
from Virginia had become afraid of his
resolution of yesterday and now proposed
TO throw sop to those who were engaged
In defying the laws, committing murder
and destroying property. Part of the
amendment proposed to-day was, he said,
"a covert condemnation of the Pull
man company for refusing to arbi-
trate" He (Dolph) wanted to know
more of the facts before he
expressed an opinion as to the merits or
dement's of the proposition. If he were
going to make a declaration on the sub
ject he would do it squarely, not by i'm
plication, not by a resolution which could
be read so as to have a double meaning.
He repeated that it was "a sop to conciA-
4 ate elements that are seeking to over
. throw the government" and he asked
MIR. Daniel to withdraw it.
HAwLEY AGAINST THE CLAUSE.
Mr.. Hawley also opposed the arbitra-
ton clause Of the resolutions, saying it
was a matter quite outside of and foreign
TO the field which the Senate had under
taken to occupy. He should be perfectly
satisfied with brief resolution declaring
that the Senate approves the course of
the chief executive in his efforts to exc
cute the law and preserve the peace. If it
covered ten pages, it could not say any
thing more than that.
Mr.. Daniel think we all seek COM
mon purpose in the right spirit. l do not
want to prolong this debate at a time
when the Senate has so many important
matters before it. If acceptable to the
senators | would propose to withdraw the
second clause as submitted this morning
and TO drop all of my resolution of yester-
day except the first and last paragraphs
Several Republican Senators-That is
right
DANIEL EXPLAINS.
Mr.. Daniel-The reason why I intro
duced the subject of arbitration was be-
cause of the statute on The subject, be-
cause of the Presidents message to con-
gress in 1886 recommending legislation on
the subject, and because of the general
policy of this nation to facilitate the
peaceful settlement of all questions. But,
preceiving it would involve criticism,
which we are, perhaps, not fully pre-
pared to meet and which might do in
justice with the limited information be-
fore us, | defer the consideration of that
question to a more convenient season.
MIR. George asked that the Presidents
message to Congress in 1856 on the subject
Of arbitration, be printed in the Record
in connection with this debate, and it was
so ordered.
Mr. Gallinger offered an amendment de.
claring that the Senate approves the
principle OF voluntary dFDlVFdLlOn as q
means of settling disputes between en-
ployers and employees Rejected-ayes
II, nays 80.
DANIELS RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
Mr.. Daniels modified resolution was
then adopted without division as a sub
stitute for Mr.. PETERS resolution.
1t is as follows:
Resolved. That the Senate indorses the
prompt and vigorous measures adopted by
the President OF the United States and the
memters Of his administration TO repulse and
repress, by military force, the interference OF
lawless men with the due process Of the laws
of the United States and with the transporta
tion Of the mails OF the United States and
with commerce among the states The action
Of the President and his administration has
the full sympathy and support OF the law
abiding masses Of the people of the United
States; and he will be supported by all de
partments Of the government and by the
power and resources Of the entire nation.
APPROPRIATION BILLS PASSED.
The Senate then took MP successfully
and passed practically without discus
sion, and with little more consumption of
time than that occupied by the clerk in
reading them, the diplomatic and con
sular, the invalid pension and the mill
tary academy appropriation bills The
pension bill appropriated a round $780,
