Their Pay Causes Little Debate In
the House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-There was a
small attendance OF members in the cham
Der when the House met this morning, and
Mr.. Rogers OF Arkansas. noting this fact,
objected to approval Of the journal. On a
Yea and nay vote the journal was approved.
Mr.. Milliken presented q number of con-
Terence reports on public building bills In
every case the change made in the measure
was purely We, bal IN its character, and,
though this statement was made by Mr..
Mllliken, Mr.. Rogers Of Arkansas insisted
upon reading each report in full. The re-
ports were all agreed 10, but good deal of
time was consumed.
Inc Dill passed authorizing the coDstruc-
ton OF a tunnel under the Narrows ia New
YORK harbor to connect Middletown, staten
Island, and New Utrecht, Long Island
A motion to adjourn was lost.
AT the expiration OF the morning hour,
Mr. Henderson Of Iowa moved that the
House go into committee OF the whole for
consideration OF tho urgent deficiency bill,
with the So ate amendments thereto.
On standing vote no quorum appeared,
anu TINS point " as made by Mr. Rogers
Ihe speaker was unable 70 count a
quorum, and the yeas and nays were Or
dered. Mr.. Henderson's motion was agreed
TO by vote OF 1iS yeas to nays, and
DuEroWe COOK the chair.
HENDERSON MOVES CONCURRENCE.
Mr.. Henderson moved concurrence In the
Senate amendments, with ono exception.
This exception was the amendment provid-
ing for the payment Of Senate session en-
ployes, including clerks TO senators. He
said the committee on appropriations recon-
mended occurrence in the amendment With
an amendment striking OUT the appropria-
tions for senat prs' clerks, which virtually
made hem annual employees. At th1 last
session the Seaae had en-
deavored, in an appropriation bill.
to secure provision making the position of
senators clerk an annual one The House
had resisted this and its resistance had been
successful. 1t was now proposed to do by
lndirection what could not be done by direc-
ton.
Then followed political debate In which
little was said about tho bill before the
House. II lasted for tho remainder of tho

FORCE BILL ldEN SORE

They Think That Hoar's Policy of ST.
lence was a Blunder.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-Congress may
not take a recess formally, but it will do SO
in fact, for very little business is to be done
Christmas week. Senators and representa-
tives are taking French leave. The Senate
situation will probably remain unchanged
until after New Years day Senator Sher-
man, who has not as yet formally reported
his financial bill, is going around with a
paper trying TO get all the republican sen.
ators to bind themselves to vote for it, and
is not succeeding in getting the silver men
or any other OF the republican side to agree.
Senator Aldrich and his followers think
that no legislation is needed, or at all events
is preferable to such legislation. They
think If they can keep it pending so as to
keep free silver bill out without letting il
get TO vote they will be doing the country
a service.
THE SILVER MEN.
The silver men are still holding out for
free coinage. The prospect Of any financial
legislation is, therefore, slight. The force
bill senators were more tnan ever per-
suaded when ey heard Senator Spooner's
ringing and aggressive speech this after
noon that they made their great mistake in
not putting Senatnr Spooner forward in
stead of Senator Hoar as the champion Of
their bill. Senator Hoar's silence was q
bluuder, they think, and his inaction a
crime. Senator Spooner, they say, would
have forced the bill through by this time,
or at the very least would
have sent out speech or two
to break the dangerous monoto ~ of the
democratic oratory. The country, they
say, through Senator Hoar's biunder, has
heard but one side. Still, they say, few
more speeches like Spooner's will pass the
bill.
CLoTURE THE ONLY CHANCE.
OF course nothing but cloture Will pass
the force bill. This is still so far off that
Senator Aldrich did not try TO hold a
meeting Of the committee on rules to day
He is going to wait now, he says, until the
democrats are talked out II he does, he
will wait until March 4. Senators Ingalls,,
Allison and other republican leaders 20
home tomorrow for the holidays. There
will be no caucus until they return. and
none then unless the informal caucuses held
every day by the caucus managers come to
some agreement.
