] Senator Brown rose to a point of
order, explaining that the secretary of
the territory was a federal official. with
whom the senate had nothing to do,
no more than to call upon the United
States marshal or President for ex-
plantations. Mr.. Cooper, he said, had
expressed his willingness to explain
anything that might be desired, but
he did not believe the senate should
require this.
The matter was finally disposed of
by ruling from the chair that the
matter was not one to be properly con-
sidered by the senate, though he ex-
planned that the secretary was anxious
for any investigation which the sena-
tors might desire to make.
