In the second place it never occurs in the morning but begins at 12-0’clock noon, except on the rare ovcasions when the senate meets at 10 or 11 o'clock.» Sena- tor Hoar of Massachusetts is respon: sible for the elongation of the morning hour so as to make it cover 129 min- utes. Prior to fourteen years ago the “morning hour,” while existing in the. afternoon, was but an hour in length, Hoar was adopted August 10, 1888, and | that provided that the “morning hour” should be two hours in length or that it should end at 2 ¢clock. This resolution provided “that after to-day, unless otherwise ordered,the morning hour shall terminate at the expiration of two hours after the meeting of the Senate.” The morning hour is devoted to the presentation of petitions, the in- tees, etc, and is the time when all sorts of little matter of that kind are attended to. At 2 o’clock the presid- ing officer lays before ‘the Senate the bill on the calendar, which is set aside as having precedence over other meas- ures, and that is generally the time for Jong speeches of all kinds unless unan- imous consent is secured to consider pension bills for a specified time or unobjected bills on the calendar.
