affairs in Cuba. To pursue a course
calculated to prevent this imputation
was to strengthen the Presidents
hands, and not to cast an imputation,
as had been charged.
Spooner contended that no franchise
could be granted of longer life than our
occupation.
Mason declared his opposition, on
the ground that we have no right to
traffic in the future of the Cubans. He
declared there had been no occasion for
the appointment of the board because
the administration of the War Depart
ment by General Alger had been clean
handed.
The vote was then taken on the
amendment, and it carried, AZ to Il.

following Senator'S: Allison, Fair

Platt of Connecticut, Platt of New

Tillman offered an amendment, which
was agreed to, providing that the Act
of January II, 1890, be so amended as
to authorize the payment to the legal
heirs or their representatives of the
officers or men who may have died or
may hereafter die in the service, the
extra pay due them under the law.
The bill as amended was then passed
without division.
Frye of Maine called up the confer
ence report on the river and harbor bill.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the report, Frye, in answer to ques-
ton by Carter said that the appro-
priation for the reservoirs at the head
quarters of the Missouri River for ir-
rigation purposes had been stricken
from the bill.
Carter addressed the Senate at length
on the action of the conferrees, main
tanning the vast Importance to the en-
tire western and southern country OF
constructing the reservoirs. In con-
clusion he said: Il am not prepared
| to see this bill passed as it is with in
consequential matters, over the pros
trate form of just and constitutional
proposition
| Pending further debate upon the con-
struction of the reservoirs, the confer
ence report on the Alaska criminal code
bill was presented and agreed to. IL
now goes to the President.
The river and harbor bill was again
taken up and Warren addressed the
Senate along the same lines as Carter.
While he was still speaking, Mantle
entered a motion to recommit the bill
to the conference with the idea of Sc
curing q recession of the House confer
rees on the reservoir proposition. This
motion aroused Frye, in charge of the
bill. and he took the floor and made an
impassioned, though brief, speech upon
the motion. He declared it meant the
death of the bill as it would be impos-
sible to obtain an agreement and have
it ratified in the few hours that were
left to the session. Pointing his finger
dramatically about the chamber, ne IN
dicated Senators who had grievances,
and he supposed everyone of them
would be before the conferrees If an
other conference was ordered.
Referring to some remarks made
about the Senate conferrees by War;
rep. Frye said: 1--WE come here with
the best agreement we could obtain and
a fight is begun on this bill in the last
night of the session. 1t is simply an
attempt to defeat the measure because
