THE WEARY SENATE.
The Late Liveliness Succeeded by the
 Somber Routine.

SOmDST
 Washington, April 19.-Comparative- ly little business was transacted by the senate today, all of the senators being fatigued on account of their long vigil last night over the Cuban reso- lution. The consideration of the sun dry civil appropriation bill was re- stunned and the wide latitude of de bate permitted under the rules af- forded opportunity for some expiana- tions to be made concerning the ac- tion of the senate upon the Cuban question.
 Mr. Cockrell of Missouri and Mir. Bacon of Georgia explained the action of the senate in voting against the conference report in the early hours ensued between them and some of the republican senators were spicy and in- reresting. A running fire of debate was precipitated, which was partici- pated in by MT. Mantle of Montana, MT. Cannon of Utah, Mir Hale of Mis- souri, MT. Spencer of Wisconsin, and others, the discussion lasting about three hours.
 THE RESOLUTION SIGNED.
 At the opening of the session the exciting and momentous scenes of the past week had given way to a dull and somber routine. The attendance on the floor and in the galleries was small. At 12:27 message was received from the house of representatives announc- ing the signature of the speaker to the Cuban resolution. Eight minutes af- ter the vice-president had announced his signature to the Cuban resolution
 ALLEN STILL FIGHTING.
 In accordance with his announcement made yesterday, that he proposed to insist upon the independence of the Cuban republic, MT. Allen offered this resolution, which was referred to the committee on foreign relations:
 ''That the political independence of the republic of Cuba, the capital of which is located at Cubitas, is hereby recognized by the United States of America as the lawful government of the island of Cuba, and that the United States hereby pledges to said republic it's friendly office in the adjustment of it's financial affairs with the kingdom of Spain or the holders of Spanish bonds or indebtedness issued against or made agreeable to Cuba, and that so far as the influence of the United States may properly be exercised, it will insist that the said republic shall not be charged with the bonded or other indebtedness of Spain, contracted during or prior to hostilities with the respective governments of Spain and Cuba
 THE STOLEN HORSE.
 MT. Stewart of Nevada said the resL olution reminded him of the very an- cient and very sapient scheme of lock ing the door after the horse is stolen
 MT. Allen declared that he was quite satisfied that under the present arrangements Cuba would pass into the hands of financial cormorants and financial buzzards' unless the United States should at once take measures to protect the island and it's people. The senate then resumed consider ation of the sundry civil bill. ADJOURNED TO REST.
 Washington, April 19.-The house presented a most desolate appearance when it convened at noon as the result of the weary all night session. While the journal was being read, MT. Hager. republican of Iowa, chairman of the committee on enrolled bills, brought in the Cuban resolution which had been enrolled under his personal di- rection. The speaker immediately signed them and as soon as the read ing of the journal was completed he announced his signature. There was no demonstration.
 MT. Dingley stated that in view of the fact that the house had been sit ting all night and that the members were weary he would move to adjourn. Accordingly at 12:32 D. m. the house adjourned.
