The session had not progressed far
when Hepburn Of Idaho, called up the
pure food bill, but A,drich suggested
that the bill should be read in full for
information and it went over under an
objection by Tillman.
Iiilman inquired Of PIatt of Conncc-
ticut concerning the status Of his rcS0-
luton directing the committee on the
Judiciary to report to the Senate the
effect Of recess nominations. He eX-
planned that his interest in the rcsolu-
ton was due to the nomination of w.
r. Crum to be collector for the port of
Charleston, S. c., to which he is Op-
Ioscd. Platt said that the resolution
had failed to receive consideration dur
ing the past session because of the ill
ness of Chairman Hoar and he rroinis-
ed to bring the matter up at the next
meeting of the committee.
Tillm1n said he did not intend TO
make any faCtiouS opposition to the
rrum nomination for the purpose Of
thwArtinC the will of ne President. but
that he felt called on 10 antagoniZc con
