A SUNDAY SESSION,
Continued From First Page.


| toXicantS to Indians, which had been
| objected to when brought up before,
was called up and passed. At o'clock
the conference report on the sundry
| civil bill was called up. When the
| proposition for an interna tional none
tary conference Ito which the house
| confereeS had acceded) was reached
the silver men demanded time. Mr.. Sib-
ley called attention to the satisfaction
with which the proposition for moic-
tary conference had been received by
the monometallic press of the East on
the ground that 1t might lead to some
adjustment by which the silver could
obtain larger legitimate use.
Mr.. Simpson said the proposition for
a conference was the same old game
twice played on the people, of holding
out promise that would never be
realized. 1t would postpone free coin
age at least six years, and six more
years of gold standard would so COM
plete the financial bondage of the coun-
try as to make it forever impossible TO
break the power of the gold kings.
Mr.. Pence, in ringing speech, argued
that no good could come of a monetary
commission. With some bitter sar-
casm, he detailed the history of the ad-
dress of the silver Democrats issued
last Friday. He commended the bold,
courageous and manly action of those
who had signed the ad; ress, but re-
buked some of them for already look
ing with favor on a proposition to go
abroad for further consultation. Mr.
Springer called Mr.. Pence's attention
to the fact that this proposition for a
cOnfaranca had am a aI from eli
yer men in the senate. not from the gold
men.
Mr.. Hepburn Rep., Io) favored the
proposition for a conference. At
time when the great gold countries
of the world were showing the first
favorable sentiment toward silver he
expressed his surprise that the avowed
friends of silver like Mr.. Pence and
Mr.. Simpson should oppose the propo-
sition for an international monetary
conference. BY neat parliamentary
maneuver. Mr.. Cannon got the floor
at this point and yielded his time to
Mr.. Sayers, who Immediately cut off
debate by demanding the previous
question. The conference report was
adopted and the sundry civil bill was
out of the way so far as the house
was concerned. Several bills We're
| then hurried through by unanimous
consent, including the following:
Senate resolution calling on the
president to insist upon Spain carry
| ing out her agreement with the United
| States relative to the claim of Antonio
Maxim Mora, amounting to $1,50O,0 900.
| At 10 p. m. Mr.. Holman presented the
final report on the Indian appropria-
| ton bill.
The senate yielded to the house on
| tho provision for the extinction of the
| contract school system at the end of
| five years, so as to remove the time
| limit. and the house yielded to the
| senate amendment for the purchase
| from the Ogden Land company of the
| title of the lands within the Cattarau-
! gus and Allegany Indian reservations
| to the extent of authorizing the Secre>
| tary of the interior to examine into and
| report to congress without appro-
1 priating any money. The report was
| agreed to. The military telegraphers
| bill was passed-164 to r.
| Then resolution was presented by
/ Mr. Bailey Dem., Tex.)i reciting the
| provision of the sundry civil bill au>
j thorizing the speaker of the house to
i appoint three delegates to bimetallic
| conference, and continuing:
| 1T Is the earnest desire of the house
/ of representatives that the speaker
l shall be one of the delegates on the
| part of the house. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That Charles Crisp,
| speaker of the house of representa-
tiyes,i Is hereby requested to designate
| himself as one of the three delegates
/ to be selected by him.
/ The reading was greeted with great
applause, the members interrupting
| the reading clerk In their enthusiasm
at the mention of the speakers name,
and the resolution, comforting a most
unusual compliment upon the speaker,
was adopted with loud shout and
| without dissenting voice.
| The senate bill to establish regula,
! tons for the payment of accrued PEN
| sionS to the heirs of dead pensioners
and exempting the pension money
from being held as part of the assets
OF the estates for the payment of
| debts was passed.
After further discussion the con-
| ference report on the whole general
deficiency bill was agreed to. The de-
| bate on the anti-toxine bill was then
| resumed. Mr.. Bryan Oem. Neb.)
urged the Importance of the measure
| and said 1t was in the interest of the
| public health.
| Mr.. McCreary Oem., Ky) reported
| for the house conferees on the diplo-
matte and consular bill that the senate
had receded from its amendment for a
| Hawaiian cable, and the conferees
| were consequently discharged.
Midnight was at hand, and the scene
In the house was becoming more ami
mated and informal. The entrance of
| Mr.. Reed and late diners-out in full
| evening dress gave an air of elegance
| to the assembly. Mr.. Bryan Dem.,
| Neb) moved to pass the bill to place
| anti-toXine on the free list under sus-
| pension of the rules. A second was
| demanded and ordered. A humorous
| debate was participated in by Messrs
| Ray Rep., n. " and Henderson
| Rep., Io), who did mot wish to COM
| NIT the country to the animal tortur-
ing business" and was Interrupted for
] the presentation of the conference re-
| port on the general deficiency bill. The

| pants in contested election cases gave
