did good days work and took II long step III
the direction of winding up the business, SO as
to lessen the probability of an extra session.
Few members of the House anticipated tho
smooth sailing that was met with to-
day. and when tho Senate amendments
to the sundry civil bill were disagreed to
informally and sent to conference there
was sigh of relief 1t was anticipated that
there would be Il stubborn fight on the sherman
bond amendment, and the fact that it was dis
posed OF so expeditiously was Il matter for
general congratulation. Under suspension of
rules the House also passed the Indian appro-
priation bill and removed the prolific subject
of debate from the calendar. One of
the surprises of the day was the ability
secure. under suspension of the rules, an agree
ment to the Senate amendment. The bill now
goes to the President. The conference report
on the military academy bin was also agreed
to- and inasmuch rs the report was also agreed
to in the Senate, that measure Is out of the way.

the Indian appropriation bill. Although more
than two-thlrds of the bin had already been
considered and agreed 10 in committee OF the
whole, and although Mr., Peel reques ed
that the reading of that portion be
dispensed with, Mr.. Kilgors objected and the
