Washington, March 3.-The house has
entered upon the consideration of appro-
prlauon bills. The fOrtifcation bill, car
lying something over 100000 @ was
PISSED IN twenty-five minutes, and then
The pension appropriation bill was taken
up. This bill usually leads to consider
ablc display of political feeling and to-
DAY was no exception. An altercatiun oc-
Cured between Mr.. Meredith of Vir-
gina and Mr.. Funk of Illinois over the
formers attempt to prove that there were
many fraudulent pensions on the rolls
which almost resulted in a personal col
l!slon. Mr.. Meredith, who was the az
gressor. rushed over to the place where
Mr.. Funk was standing and shook his
hist In the lattCr'S face. Hot words were
spoken, but friends interfered, and the
speaker restored order before any blows
were struck. Hon. Galusha A. Grow,
recently elected congl essman from Penp-
sylvania, was sworn in.
Washington, March 5.-The Democratic
members of the senate committee on
hnance find il necessary to take at least
one more day to consider the tariff bill
before presenting it to the full committee.
While some of the schedules of the bill
have been agreed to for the time being
by the committee the work is not yet
considered finally concluded upon any of
them, and important changes are liable
to be made up to the last moment. For
this reason members decline absolutely
to give out any of the rates fixed. They
also refuse to confirm any figures
published, and while they do not gay
that the rate of 40 cents per ton on iron
ore and coal are erroneous, they assert
that whatever figures they may have
agreed to are still subject to changes.
The contest between members of the COM
| mittee and the disconnected element has
been very sharp. Senators Hill, German,
Brice, White, Caffery, Smith, and possi-
bly, two or three others constitute a very
compact organization and constitute an
influence which the committee IS hnding
il difficult TO resist. ii committeeman
do not believe that the opposition OF the
Sc: ators will go to the extent OF oppos-
ing the bill by their votes. Sugar IS
| still the most disturbing cement. The
Republican members of the committee
have not changed their purpose OF ASKING
for an explanation in committee OF inc
changes made, and they Will insist upon
| explicit aud comprehensive statements
| Senator Morrill, has reiterated his pur-
| pose to this end within the past day or
two. and other Republican members OF
the senate finance committee VIII sus-
| tain hin. If the Democratic members
| comply. as it is supposed they Will IN a
| measure, it is probable thai some 'lme
will he consumed, so that even though the
| hill no presented to the full committee
| on Tuesday, it cannot be definitely stated
| when it will be reported TO the senate
The Democratic members are pledged,
| however. to get it in at the earliest
| practicable moment. n.
The senate to-day took up the pruning
| bill. while the house devoted us ATTENTION
| to the appropriation bills.
