By the Associated Press
WAsHNGroE, March 1.-THE house
committee OF the whole fniHhed its
work on the sundry civil bill today,
notwithstandin the fact that this was
st. Patrick's day. Quite number OF
members wore sprigs Of shamrock upon
their coats. At the opening of the Hes-
sion, Mr.. Reilly Of Pennsylvania, chair
man OF the committee on Pacific roads,
rose to q question Of privilege with re-
gard to the resolution introduced by Mr..
ECatner yesterday. instructing the pres
ioAt to employ special counsel to bring
suit against the Union Pacific for the
amount OF indebtedness to the United
States. This resolution, at Mr.. Boat
ner's reuuest, had been referred to the
judiciary committee. Mr.. Reilly thought
II should be properly referred to his COM
mittee.
Mr. Bailey made the point Of order
that Mr.. Reilly had not been authorized
by his committee to move the change OF
reference. The chair sustained the point
of order.
The senate amendments to the senate
bill to charter the Iowa and Nebraska
Bridge company, and to construct a
high wagon bridge at Sioux City, Ia,
were agreed to.
The house then went into the commit
tee OF the whole and the consideration
of the sundry civil appropriation bill
was resumed. The amendments to the
appropriations for the Missouri river
commission, which were pending when
the house adjourned yesterday, were
postponed until Monday.
Mr.. Reed made the point Of order
against the amendment governing the
fees of clerks of United States courts
as not germane. The chair sustained
the point of order.
Mr.. Bowers OF California offered an
amendment to the appropriation OF
$4,000 for special counsel to aid dis
trict attorneys so as to provide that
5000 of the amount be expended in
the employment Of special counsel in
the case OF the Southern Pacific rail-
road to set aside United States patents
now pending at Los Angeles. The
chair ruled the amendment out on
the ground that it changed the laws.
The committee then arose.
A resolution authorizing enlisted men
OF the army and navy to wear badge
on public occasions, on motion OF Mr..
Cultivate, was agreed to.
Then, at 2 80, in accordance with the
provisions of a special order, the re-
mainder of the day was devoted to
eulogies upon the life and character ol
the late Representative W. P. EnochE
OF Ohio.
