Mr. Hale said that senators might as
we'll understand that IL this question
were kept before the senate it would
be fully debated, and would substan-
TALLY confiscate every hour of the ses-
sion, leaving many appropriation bills
unpassed
Mr.. Hill said that the premier of the
next administration (Mr. Sherman) had
reported the resolution yesterday, or
had agreed to it's being reported, and
had expressed the hope that the senate
would take 1t up to-day, and pass 1t
and had then voted against it's con-
sideration to-day. Uaughter) If the
senate passed this joint resolution it
might have some moral effect on the
next administration,
Il differ with the senator from New
York" said Mr.. White, "and / hope
that the'chairman of the committee on
foreign relations will not be forced to
carry into his policy as secretary of
state the views which he has ANNOUNCE
ed in the resolution"
Mr.. Hill-"Why should he not be con-
sistent?"
TT is within his power" said Mr..
White, pleasantly, ito use his own
judgment whether he is to be or not
consistent" Gaughter.)
These playful illusions impelled Mr.
Sherman to defend himself. He said:
Il am in favor of the pending joint
resolution, and think it ought to
command the unanimous approval of
the senate. 1 believe that gross injus-
tice, almost barbarous injustice, has
been done to a naturalized citizen of
the United States, who has a right to
protection from the president. But
this resolution stands in the way of
appropriation bills. / trust that after
the debate has gone on while the
senate will see clearly the necessity of
taking up the appropriation bills and
passing them. l do not think there is
any inconsistency in that.
Il hope the senators who are oppos-
ed to the resolution will not stand in
the way of vote. 1t is great injus-
tice to say that we, who are in favor
of the resolution, are opposed to the
! passage of the appropriation bills.

he is a naturalized citizen. I am oppos-

| all in favor of protecting American cit

! by the senator from Ohio, ten days
from now, in less time than it can be
dealt with now"
Mr. White then made an elaborate
argument on the question of recogni-
ton of new government. Without
completing his speech Mr.. White yield

mittee on appropriations, who propos-
ed, by unanimous consent, a recess
should be taken from until p. M,
and that the Indian appropriation bill
! shall then be taken up.
Mr.. Hill objected to the latter clause
of the proposition, remarking that it
would be better to finish the Cuban
matter.
Mr.. Allison rather regretfully with
drew the suggestion as to the appro-
priation bill.
The recess was agreed to.
After recess no action was taken on
the Sanguilly case.
