he committee on appropriations in reprint
ing matters of general legislation on arpro-
priation bills We're simply arranging for an
extra session. He criticized the recent bond
contract by which he said S62, 0O0 OF
bonds or the United States were sold for
fifteen per cent less than they were worth,
loss to tho treasury and the people of
about nine million of dollars. If there was
ever a financial transaction of the admins
tration that needed investigation il is that
purchase of gold and that sale of bonds. In
my belief there is great deal more beneath
the surface than the country is aware of. l
do not believe it was a translation which
Congress can afford TO let go without in
yestIgation. 1t is sure to be- investigated by
the next Senate. For the purpose of having
that investigation made thoroughly I hope
there will be an extra session called, and |
am constrained to believe, that that is the
expectation and purpose of the committee
on appropriations when siG brings in its
appropriation bills laden with general legis-
lation.
A message from the President was re-
ceived, returning without approval the
bill directing the honorable discharge
from the army of Henry Haldeman, who
deserted from the Second United States
Artillery, Decem Der IL, $780, The Pres
ident brushes aside the excuse that the
soldiers term of service would have ex-
pired before the regiment, which sswas
under orders for California, could have
reached there, and says she emoral and
discipline of ths regular army is directly
involved in the proposed legislation.
The desertion was deliberate and mex
cusabIe. If an honorable discharge is
given in this case it would be no reason
why every deserter should not be alb
faithfulness. The message and bill were
referred. to the committee on military
affairs.
After an executive session the Senate
