Mr.. Holman, from the committee on
appropriations, reported hack the sun
dry civil appropriation bill with Sen
ate amendments thereto. He asked
unanimous consent that 4 formal con-
currence be made to all the Senate
amendments except amendment 10
the Sherman bond amendment.
Mr.. Bland said that the Senate had
added to the bill new legislation of q
tar-reaching character = legislation
which opens up new financial scheme.
Mr.. Dingley-I object to debate.
Mr.. Bland-Then 1 object TO any
agreement and ask that the bill be re-
ferred to the committee of the" whole.
Mr.. Holman then moved that the
bill be sent to the committee OF the
whole.
Mr.. Bland-As l stated a moment
ago. in view of the fact Of this import
ant amendment, a fair opportunity fol
debate and consideration of it must be
had and we will not submit TO the
forcing of this bill through the House
in the closing hours of Congress when
all such Jobs are tried to be put through
under whip and spur.
Mr.. Holman-There is no such prop
ositon. On the contrary | intimated
very clearly that my purpose was TO
get the one question before the com
mittee of the whole, SO that ii might be
properly considered. trust that the
gentleman will not object at this late
hour-when the business Of the House
and Senate is so much delayed.
Mr.. Bland-That is always the plea
when the Senate puts on jobs at the
last moment.
The bill was sent to committee of
the whole.
Mr.. Peel moved that the House 60
into committee of the whole for the
consideration of general appropriation
bills.
Mr.. Hatch opposed this motion with
his anti-option bill.
Pending vote, Mr.. Hemphill pre-
scented the conference on the bill to pro-
vide permanent system of highways
in the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Hatch raised the question OF
consideration and the House refused TO
consider the report.
Mr.. Peel's motion was agreed to,
yeas 14S, nays 81, and the considera.
ton of the Indian appropriation bill
was resumed.
On motion of Mr.. Rockwell the para
graph appropriating $55S,00O for ar
rears of interest claimed by the Chic kl-
saw Indians was stricken from the bill
also the paragraph which appropriates
$4,000 to reimburse the Choctaw or

to go away they all became intensely excited,
climbing up the baustrade and utterng cries or

up TO the top OF the cage and clingng 10 the
