Mr. Sherman offered a concurrent resolution (which was referred to the committee on for- eign relations) requesting the committee to in- vite, from time to time, as fit occasion arises, hegotiations with any government with whtcs the United States or may have, diplomatic relations, to the end that any differences or disputes between the two governments that cannot be adjusted b; Lo eameny agencies ma} be refereed te arbil and peacefully STORAGE ROOM. justed by such means, A resolution offered by Mr. Sherman in re- gard to storage rooms in the Senate wing was made the occasion by Mr. Hale of commenting upon the inutility of the vast space provided at _ expense immediately Putside of the building, and which, he said, had been - ised to supply desirable rooms for the storage of books and documents and for committee one poses, These rooms (thirty or forty in number) on the Senate side, were now, he said, good for nothing, not even for the storage of ks and papers, He was replied to by Mr. Morrill to the effect that if Mr. Hale would only have patience the rooms in question would, when finished, meet all the promises made about them. Mr. expressed himself (but with a shade of incredulity) pleased at having that as- surance. Mr. Turpie offered a resolution that the pro- posed penal enactments against trusts affectin; commerce among the several states shoul provide for the seizure of trust goods on law- ful warrant and information and- for the for- feiture, confiscation and sale of the same.
