Il think il il Incredible that the Presi-
dent in view of his attitude towar ri the rate
hI should favor this amendment said
Mr. McCumber.
MIR McIaNrin dem, Miss J did not agree
with Senators that tho people wanted this
President TO go running about the country.
sIhey have no more curiosity to see him
than they have to see Aguinaldo." said the
Mississippi Senator. Nor do coDcede that
people want lot Of newspaper men carried
around to give the details of the Presidents
daily life, The people don't care when the
President gets up or what hour he goes to
bed or what he eats or drinks-provided
he doesn't drink Intoxicating liquors to ex-
cess Nor do the people have q curiosity
10 see the President IA il he were Q show
or a natural curiosity"
Mr.. Hale proposed that bill which had
passed the House and which was now on
the Vice Presidents table, covering the
same subject and carrying the same appro-
priaton, be voted on without debate.
Mr. Hale's object was to divorce the
debate on the item for the Presidents
travelling expenses from the Sundry Civil
bill and to permit the appropriation bill TO
go to conference 80 as to facilitate an early
adjournment Of Congress.
Mr.. Morgan OF Alabama objected.
Mr.. Hale offered to limit debate to one
hour, saying that unless the sundry Civil
bill was got into conference at once
Congress might be In session into the beat
of July
withdrew his objection, but Mr.. McCumber
threatened to object unless the debate
was extended to three hours.
Mr.. Morgan renewed his objection. He
said the cheats of July" did not distress
him. He had endured them with the Sena-
tor from Maine heretofore In the perform
anoe Of his duty in the Senate.
Il got very tired Of it, said Mr.. Hale.
sThe Senator from Maine may have tired
of tbs performance OF his duty, but l did
not retorted Mr.. Morgan. Il know Of no
higher duty than the consideration of
bin carrying one hundred million dollars
Mr.. Hale declared that he would withdraw
his srequest; but would ask for a night session
and require every Senator to be in his seat.
Mr.. Morgan said the proposed legislation
was repugnant to the rules Of the Senate,
sbut It continually comes up, which suggests
o mysterious but powerful influence back
of He said there was no public demand
for the legislation. Some peculiar influence
was nursing it. Either 1t is political
move or 1t is hippodrome we are pro-
viding for said he.
Mr.. Morgan drew q picture OF the Presi-
dent entertaining royal guests of Europe
at Western bear hunt. There would
be procession, suppose said the Ala
bama Senator, sled by the President, fol-
lowed by the man the President appointed
to office after his last bear hunt because
he could catch a bear with his hands and
choke it to death. Remarkable quality.
He would doubtless give an exhibition for
the royal guests
Mr.. Morgan, explaining the constitu-
tional inhibition, declared that if the State
of New York were to vote great summer
palace for the President he could not ao-
cept because it would be an emolument.
AS it is, we have two capitals Of this nation
-one in Washington and summer capital
in Oyster Bay. Nobody objects to this: it
is necessary for the benefit Of the health Of
himself and family. But l mention the
fact that donation of a summer residence
by sovereign State would be unconstitu-
tonal. He could not accept it. l say to
you, Senators, we are treading on dangerous
ground"
Mr.. Hale withdrew the amendment pro-
posing the s25 900 for the Presidents travel
ling expenses, saying he did so upon the
understanding that the House bill granting
thea appropria ton of $2b 600 should be ia ken
up as an independent measure and dis
posed of without debate.
The Senate then, by unanimous consent.
agreed 10 lay aside CONSIDERATION OF tne
sundry Civil bill and proceed to consider
the House bill apprppriating $4,000 for
travelling expenses of the President under
the ten minute rule, and to take vote
thereon at 8 O'Clock.
The first amendment was by Mr.. Car
mack Dem., Tenn } to strike out the appro-
priation for the current year. The amend
ment was voted down, ayes, II; noes, 80,
Mr. MoLaurin offered an amendment
limiting the expenditure to the President,
his family and attendants. This was voted
down without rolloall.
The bill was then passed, AZ to 20, strict
party vote, except that Mr.. McCumber voted
with the Democrats in the negative.
The sundry Civil Appropriation bill, car
rying approximately $iOOoOo,ooO, was also
passed.
