prepared to vote upon it.
Mr. Teller regarded it as remarkable
that q measure of so much Importance
should go to vote without discussion
from all sides.
At the request of Mr.. Aldrich the finan-
cial measure was postponed until 2
o'clock Monday next.
The senate then agreed that when 1t
adjourn today it be until Monday.
DETAILS OF CENSUS.
Consideration Of the census measure,
comforting additional authority upon the
director of the census, was then begun.
Mr. Hoar withdrawing an amendment he
had offered.
Mr.. PettigreW offered an amendment d1-
recting the director of the census to col
lect statistics in regard to the dlStr1bu-
ton of wealth, in regard to the extent TO
which machinery had displaced manual
labor and in regard to private and corpo-
ration Indebtedness.
The amendment was defeated.
Mr. Allen (Neb.) proposed an amend
ment providing for the collection of sta
tistics relating to trusts, and that, too,
was defeated by a viva voce vote.
Mr. Allen demanded the yeas and nays
and wanted to know of Mr.. Carter If he
proposed to deny this information to the
people.
Mr. Carter replied that the amendment
was simply proposition that 50 day
enumerator or $500 clerk should deter
mine what institutions in an official docu-
ment are criminal He held that these in
stitutions were entitled to their day in
court. ''If these institutions are trusts,
he said, eff they are in violation of law,
they are entitled to be heard before the
laws Of the country shall be applied to
them.
Mr. Allen declared that the effort to
prevent the gathering of information re-
garding trusts was scheme to side track
him. '"There is hidden purpose" he said,
.in congress respecting this matter"
A sharp and amusing colloquy took place
between Mr.. Allen and Mr.. Tillman Is.
CO. The latter criticised the amendment,
and Mr. Allen charged that Mr. Tillman
had gone over to the side of the trusts.
In emphatically denying this, Mr.. Tillman
likened Mr.. Allen to a dog In Southern
opossum hunt, who followed the trail to
a tree and then reared up on it," The
tree was cut down, and no 'possum was
found The hunters went home In dis
gust, declaring that the dogs had been
chasing hant' (specteD That said
Mr.. Tillman, is what my friend from Ne
braska is doing. Uaughter0
Mr. Allen replied with some heat, oe-
claring that Mr.. Tillman would find Diff
ficulty in explaining his position to the
people of his state. He said there was
disposition among senators to say: The
public be damned" and he had no idea
there was any intention to gather 1nfor-
nation regarding trusts.
