WAsHINGToN. March 18.-The Senate
was disturbed to-day by an unexpected
storm OF sarcAsm and invective from
Senator Vest, of Missouri, directed
against the President and members of
the Cabinet. comparatively minor
measure was under consideration Feiat-
ing to the failure of the Secretary OF the
anterior to execute the law for the open.
ing OF an Indian reservation in Utah.
This led to come sharp criticism, and
finally brought Mr.. Vest to his feet for
speech bristling with caustic personal
references to the President. The Sem
ator referred to Mr.. Cleveland's recent
speech In New York on using home
missions to Christianize and civillzs the
West, and declared that If our Presi-
dent would pause in hunting ducks in
South Carolina and silver Dem ocrsts in
Kentucky long enough to go West he
would find q God fearing, self-reliant
people.
"There was time" said Mr.. Vest.
when Cabinet officer who violated q
law would be brought before the bar OF
this Senate" Mr.. Vest then gave his
pa socai knowledge concerning this
subject. This reservation contained in
1t the greatest asphalt deposits in ex-
istencs-sufflcient to supply this coun-
try for centuries. Heretofore 1t was q
costly and rare article, taken mainly
from G small island. A company was
formed at st. Louis and large invest.
ments made toward bringing these de-
posits to cities for roofing and paving
purposes.
A law was passed. Mr.. Vest said.
direct ting the opening of the lands but
the Secretary OF the Interior nullified it.
The Secresary's course Was in behalf of
rich investors who were the only ones
who could bid at public auction of the
lands.
Among the bills introduced in the
Senate to-day were: By Mr.. Butler, of
North Carolina, for 9 postal telegraph
system, and by Mr.. Call, of Florida, for
