slim SHOW FOR HELENA
Public Building Bills Set Back
to the Bottom Of the
Calendar.
The Finest Opportunity Of the Ses-
sion Slips Away from
Carter.
The Helena Rall was Next nm the I.ist.
The Helena Bill was Next ON the List
Tho senate Passes tho Original
Package Bill.

WASHINGTON, May q. The house devoted
almost the entire day to public buildings
to-day, and about every member interested
in building is in q very unhappy frame of
mind tonight. Those whose bills were not
considered IN committee of the whole are
unhappy because Of this fact, and those
whose bills were considered are unhappy
because the house adjourned before the re-
port of the committee of the whole was
considered, and this action leaves all the
bills favorably acted on just where they
were this morning, in worse condition, if
anything, because they will go to the end Of
the calendar unless the committee on rules
succeed in making their consideration a
special order. That may be hard thing to
do. The northwestern members are kick
ing tonight, some for one of the above
named causes and some for the other.
Carter, of Montana, had public building
building bill on the calendar for Helena,
which was not reached. Wilson, of Wash
ington, had one for Spokane Falls, and that
was not reached. Carter's bill was the next
in order when the committee stopped work,
and the bill for Spokane Falls came after
Helena, consequently Carter and Wilson
were especially warm at the turn in affairs.
Hermann, of Oregon, was interested in the
Portland bill, which WAS considered and
recommended for passage, and then went
into the indefinite future when adjourn
ment came.

Public Building Bills.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The house went
into committee of the whole on public
building bills. There was lively tilt on
the question of public building bills, brought
out by the bill for a public building at Bar
Harbor, $4,000. Mills had asked what the
direction of the committee was, and Milli-
ken replied that two republican bills would
be called up and then one democratic bill.
Mills Thought this unfair and that the COM
mittee should alternate between the two
sides. Allen declared that the whole system
was vicious and that politics should have
nothing to do with the question. The conn.,
mittee finally rose and the agricultural bill
was reported, and the house adjourned un-
til Monday,

WATER AND WHISKY.

The Senate Takes Turn at Irrigation
and Original Packages.
WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Stewart,
rising to question of personal privilege,
had read an article from local paper con-
tanning the statement made by Major Pow
ell, director of the geological survey, in
reference to Stewards recent resolution, in
which Powell spoke of the movement as in
stigated by land sharks and spectators for
the purpose of gobbling up irrigable lands
and establishing sort of hydraulic feudal
system. Stewart sketched an outline of
what had been done in the work of stimula-
ting irrigation in the far west recently, and
the appropriations therefor. Powell, he
asid had used more than half of the ap-
preparations in vast and expensive surveys
of no practical use for the object in view,
and intimated that Powell had enormous
power in both houses from his giving en-
ployment to lot of young men, sons and
relatives of members of congress, and that
he kept an enormous lobby in Washing
ton to control the actions of congress. That
bureau of geology and mineralogy was
nothing, StWart said, but mass of hum
bug and fOOlishness.
German defended Major Powell as a val
liable public officer, who discharged his
duties faithfully.
Teller introduced joint resolution set
ting forth that it is the determined policy
of the United States government to use
both gold and silver as full legal tender
money, under the ratio now existing in the
United States or which may hereafter be
established by the United States, alone or
acting in accord with other nations.
The imported liquor bill was then taken
up, the question being on the substitute by
Gray to the substitute from the judiciary
committees: That fermented, distilled or
other intoxicating liquors, transferred as an
article of commerce., or brought into any
state or territory from point or place out
side of such state or territory, for use, con-
sumption or sale therein. should not be ex-
possession thereof, be exempt from the OPP
Grafton of the liquor regulations, control or
police, or taxing power of such state or ter
ritory, affecting or applicable to all other
like property by reason of such liquors be-
ing in the original package of importation
or transportation as subjects of Interstate
or foreign commerce." Agreed to 26 to 20.
Wilson, of Iowa. offered substitute for
Gray's amendment, providing that liquors
transported into any state or territory for
use, consumption, sale or storage shall. on
their arrival, be subject to the operation
and effect of the laws of such state or ter
ritory, enacted in exercise of its police
power, and should not be exempt therefrom
by reason of their being in original pack
ages. Wilson'S substitute was adopted, %
to 20. The bill then passed, "a to 10. The
river and harbor bill was received from the
house and referred to the committee, and
the senate adjourned until Monday.
