MI. w AlIei ueIn.j or CalltOfnld, OIIef-
 ed resolution instructing the commit
 tee on commerce to visit the Pacific
 coast during the recess to examine sites
 for a deep-sea harbor there, and MT
 Call, dem, of Florida, tried to get ur
 his Honduras resolution.
 MT. German, dem., of Maryland, re-
 monstrated against both. He said that
 after conference between senators of
 both parties it had been deemed best | that no committe work involving eX- penses should be undertaken during the
 recess.
 MT. Call appealed to the senate to
 take up his Honduras lottery resolu- | tion and declared that religious and
 moral people of the country would fur
 nish the expense of the investigation
 which "the senator from Maryland de- | sired to suppress" Daughter at MT. | Calls vehement attack on MT. Cor
 man.)
 It is known, MT. Call continued, be-
 coming more excited, that a great and
 powerful organization is striking at the
 very vitals of republican government
 a foreign corporation-and that the
 moral and religious people of the coun-
 try are indignant at it.
 He demanded the yeas and nays on his motion to proceed to the considera- tion of the resolution and the motion
 was carried by vote of 35 to IS.
 The lottery resolution being thus be- fore the senate, an argument was made | against it by MT. Blackburn dem, of Kentucky, who said that the steering committees on both sides had agreed to
 oppose the sitting of committees during
 the recess.
 MT. Aldrich, rep, of Rhode Island confirmed the statements of Senators German and Blackburn and said the proposed lottery committee was well known to be simply political com mittee intended to offset politics in Florida and having no moral purpose whatever. He moved to amend the res olution by striking out the provision for a select committee and leaving the mat ter to the judiciary committee.
 MT. Call broke out fiercely and in loud, declamatory tones said:
 q pronounce the statement of the senator from Rhode Island as without foundation. It has no warrant except that senator's desire to promote lot teries in the United States" Shouts of laughter.) "He spoke without truth or justification. There is no knowledge by anyone that this is to be a mere political committee
 MT Wolcott, rep, of Colorado. de clared that the purpose of the "steer- ing committees" on both sides was to prevent junketing trips during the re- cess and to prevent public money being frittered away. The attack made by the senator upon the senator from Rhode Island was utterly uncalled for, Only to-day an act had been passed at the request of MT. Hoar which bound the letters more closely upon lot tery dealers. There were laws on the statute books to-day which permitted more espionage than had ever been permitted under the old French mon- archy. There was law enough to abol- ish lotteries.
 MT. Call, dem, of Florida, indulged in a closing remark upon his lottery reso- lution. He taunted MT. Wocott with his readiness to speak out when the Interest of a foreign corporation (against the people of the United States) was involved.
 At a few minutes before 12 Senators | Voorhees and sherman, the committee to wait on the president, en- tered the hall and MT. Voorhees, re- ported that they had performed their and that the president "con- graduated congress at the conclusion of it's labors." At this announcement and am immense audience in the galleries indulged in loud laughter nr ronIa of I, I president made his parting speech, in which he said that the magnitude of the questions determined by the sen- ate and the ability with which those had been discussed had been surpassed in only few preceding congresses; and that this hour marked the close of long and honorable terms of service 0f senators, who would be borne in grateful remembrance by their asso- ,iates who remained. He expressed his hanks to the officers of the senate for he fidelity with which they had dis charged their important duties: and to senator's for their assistance and courte- " to the presiding officer, and said that he great debates and important legis- ation of the Fifty-third congress now passed into the domain of history He hen let the gavel fall and declared the enate adjourned without day.
