When the doors We're open ed the House
resolution to adjourn at 8 p. m was an
| nounced
Mr. Morgan made the point that the reso-
luton Coming from the House was open to
! amendment in the Senate, and, il neces-
| sary, to reference to a committee. He de-
sired the ruling OF the chair
Mr.. AldTich contended frat motion to
adjourn was privileged qGes lon, as were
all matters relating thereto.
Mr. Murgan-The House has no control
| of this body.
Mr.. Aldrich Its resolution, however, is
here for independent action
Mr Pasco contended that the resolution
| was not before the Senate; it had simply
been read
Mr.. Hoar admitted 1t was true that the
| to the Committee on Appropriations. but
| the Senate could act otherwise if it de-
sired.
THAT is true" said Mr.. Morgan.
Mr. Hoar moved that the Senate concur
in the House resolution.
Mr. Pasco said that this being a House
resolution, 1t should go over for one legiS-
| lative day.
Hr. Spooner wanted to know If resolu

| possibly be considered at any other than
some time before o'clock tonight. Could
| tt be considered, for instance, tomorrow
| Mr.. paseo said that it could under the
| rules. For the past ten years, he said,
| such resolution has always been referred

Mr. Morgan protested against having a
matter from the House passed on without

up the body that 1t could be kept in session

MI. Berry said that the rule read by Mr..
Pasco referred to all motions to adjourn,

"We all know why the adjournment is
hastened. 1t is on account OF the Pacific
Railroad resolution, which it Is desired to

| Mr.. Berry in insisted that the Senate owed

| Railroad resolution Would the Republi-

unanimous consent.
| Mr. Thurston here rose to say that Mr..
| Harris and others had used up all the
time OF the Senate which was allowable,
and the Senators who desired to speak
