IN THE SENATE.

In the Senate, the chaplain in the
opening prayer, dwelt upon the terrible
storm which struck ST. Louis yester-
day, saying that the people stood aghast
ct such awful tokens of Divine power
and majesty, imploring mercy for the
stricken city, succor for the MANNED and
afflicted, protection and aid for those
administering relief and protec tion from
such another visitation Of Divine wrath.
The alcohol bill was received from the
House and referred to the finance COM
mittes. Mr.. Harris, Democrat of Tenn es-
see, stating that he would ask the Senate
to take it up, as soon as the conference
report on she Indian appropriation bill
was disposed Of
The conference report on the Indian
appropriation bill was taken up, Mr.,
Hale called attention to the provision in
the report for Indian citizenship. He
spoke of it as new body of law, which
had no proper place in the appropriation
bill, and for which there was no proper
foundation in the bill. He said an
amendment embodying some of its feat
ures had been offered in the Senate, dis
cussed for two or three days and finally
excluded on point of order. There was
Nd warrant or authority for the confer
ence committee to report such proyis-
ion of law.

that or any other misfortune. He said
he himself had received no informations
that these tents were needed, but no
harm could be done by the passage of the
resolution. He wanted to express his dis
sent from the custom of state and COM
ruunities that were entirely capable of
meeting any exigency, rushing to the
seat of the government Of the United
States to seek assistance on all such oc-
casions.
Mr.. Harris, Democrat of Tennessee,
expressed himself in full sympathy with
Mr.. Vests's remarks. He suggested that
the resolution should be amended by
making it a joint resolution and that
amendment was made
Mr.. Cullom, Republican Of Illinois,
agreed with Mr.. Vest that there was
probably no occasion for the passage of
the joint resolution. The states of ILL
nois and Missouri would be able to take
care of all interests of the people ON both
sides of the Mississippi river, but as the
House had passed the joint resolution, 1t
might be as well for the Senate to pass
| it.
