The Indian appropriation bill was passed
after having been before the Senate five
days.
The first business was the offering of
resolution to correct an error in the recent
Chicago public building contract, by which
the old building was to be sold to the
"lowest bidder" instead of the "highest."
Jones of Arkansas offered an amendment
authorizing the Muskogee or Creek nation
to sell the Indebtedness of 100000 to that
nation with interest due from the United
States, the same having been appropriated
in 1889 to enable them to make per capita
payment to the Creek company and to
ieuidate the Creek nations Indebtedness.
Morgan offered an additional amend
ment providing that a portion of the
seigniorage in the treasury shall be coined
into half dollars to pay the debt
An amendment by Aldrich to the Nor
gan amendment adding these words ''or in
such other lawful money of the United
States as the Greek nation shall desire"
was adopted, and then the Morgan amend
ment as amended was adopted without
division.
Butler moved to lay aside informally the
Indian bill and take up the pooling bill.
The roll was called on Buffers motion,
which was defeated-ayes "a, noes AZ.

PETER said the bill could not pass for
twenty days, claiming there were at least
twelve Senators prepared to debate it in

Butler said that PETER was franker than
other Senators in confessing determine

like to have an opportunity to give
them a chance to filibuster. PETER dis
claimed any desire to filibuster. German
then arose to reply to what he character
lied as Buffers assault on him.
German said many of the best friends he
had were among the great railway mag
mates of the country, and he then told how
he had been importuned by them in the
interest of the bill.

among the Senators to impute motives O
each other in their conduct with any
measure.
He then discussed the bill on its merits

Just as it came from the House. He tool
especial exception to the first and pre-
dicted it would never be passed by the
present or any Congress.
Butler resented Chambers reflection.
upon the integrity of the railroad men Of
the country. Chandler, he said proceeded

went on with the consideration of the
Indian bill.
