After passing the House the bill
went to the Senate. 1t was referred
to the Committee on Appropriations,
and upon its recommendation was
passed with a few amendments and
but little debate. The c~oncensus of
opinion in the Senate was so uani.
nous in favor of the bill that a yea
and nay vote was not taken. The
Senators spoke of it as a loan.
Senator Plumb considered it a loan,
and in his remarks said:
"There are chances, and | think a
majority Of chances, that the govern.
ment will be repaid the money"
Senator Maxey. "When we made
an appropriation in the nature of a
loan to the Centennial Exposition in
1876 we gave a million and a half
dollars, and there was no objection to
that"
Senator Garland. "The bill has un.
dergone the scrutiny of the entire
Committee on Appropriations, and

in this respect. The United States is
in no danger in reference to getting
back this million dollars"

~endeavored to show the reverse as be-
ing true. That it was well considered
before given to the public is no longer
denied. That it is practical, or with
some notifications as to detail can be
made practical, is being discussed in a
manner that leaves no room for doubt
upon that point. AS to its being
strictly within the limits of constitu-
tional law, the amount and character
of the evidence given in this article
upon that portion of the question must
be considered by all fair. minded per
sons as absolutely conclusive.
What more can the friends of this
