Again Goes Over-Work in
Both Houses.

WASHINGTON. May 1O.-Mr. Kilgore
promptly shut out everything else by
demanding the regular order, and after
the call of committees the house re-
solved itself into committee of the
whole for the further consideration of
the bill TO purchase a site for the cree
ton of a government printing office.
Numerous suggestions and motions
were made, interspersed with points of
order and parliamentary inquirers.
Finally, in order to get the bill before
the house and relieve the committee
from the situation in which it had been
plunged, Bankhead moved that the bill
be read and each section as read be
stricken out.
The committee then rose, the bill
was reported to the house and it was
recommitted to the committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds, in accord
ance with a resolution of Holman in
structing the committee to prepare a
bill for the erection of a printing office
on land owned by the United States.
On motion by Cummings, chairman
Of the committee on naval affairs, the
house went into committee of the
whole. on the naval appropriation bill.
for the year ending June so, 1895. AS
reported, the bill carries a total appro-
pEi1tiOn of $25.280, 96G, on estimates by
the navy department of S27, 1913.
The appropriations for the current
year amounted to S22, 104, 061. Cum
mings briefly reviewed the provisions
Of the bill, and explained the reasons
which moved the committee to make
the appropriations recommended.
In the course of this statement, Reed,
interrupted, to ask why the committee
did not appropriate outright the $780,
900 for three torpedo boats. instead of
authorizing the secretary Of the navy
to use the appropriation Of that amend
ment made in 1889 for a dynamite
cruiser, for that purpose.
Then at $40 o'clock the committe
rose and the house adjourned.
Eoar Opens the Sixth Weeks Debate.
1t required the usual call of senators
to secure the presence Of a quorOm be-
fore the reading of the day before's
journal.
The credentials Of John f. Gear, as
senator elect from the state of Iowa,
to succeed Senator Wilson, were pre-
scented by Mr.. Wilson,, read and laid on
the table, after Mr.. Hoar making his
usual criticism of their form.
At 1880 Mr.. Harris moved to proceed
to the consideration of the tariff bill.
At the same moment, Mr.. Allen, popu-
list, who had offered a resolution Mon
day in regard to the arrest Of Coxey
and two subordinates, and which reso-
luton had gone over, rose to claim pre-
cedence for it.
Allen, however, consented to his resO-
luton going over until today, and there
upon the tariff bill was taken up for
consideration and Mr.. Hoar addressed
the senate in opposition to it-this be-
ing the opening Of the sixth weeks de
bate upon that measure.
Hoar occupied the floor for two and
a half hours.
Quay then took the floor and deliv-
cred the sixth part of his speech against
the tariff bill.
Quay retained the floor until 4:4O,
when he yielded for a motion to pro-
coed to execute business.

senate the credentials of of John Pat
ton, Jr., appointed as senator from
Michigan, in place of the late Senator
Stockbridge, and they were read and
laid on the table.
The senate then proceeded to the
consideration Of executive business, and
at 6:t0 adjourned.
