IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
Financial Issues Suddenly Side TRACKED in
the Upper Body.

the Upper Body.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-When the senate
adjourned yesterday it was with the agree
ment that II vote shall be taken on tho
sundry civil bill ut 3 o clock this afternoon
The financial issue, which has hung likea
great menacing cloud over the senate
chamber for many weeks, was suddenly
and permanently dissipated. For four
hours there was IL storm of debate in which
the most conspicuous financial figures of
the senate were listened to by crowded
galleries. And then Mr.. German, whose
financial amendment had brought on the
contest, withdrew tho proposition, and
the subject was summarily disposed Of A
moment later Mr.. Mills proposition to re-
peal the laws authorizing the issue of
bonds was cut off by ruling of tho chair
that 1t was out of order Thus the finan-
clal issue which had threatened serious de-
lay to the appropriation bill was unex-
pectedly swept away. Mr.. German made
the principal speech in advocacy of the
proposition for authorizing 800, 010 900 of
debt certip ates to meet treasury dcflcien-
cics. Mr.. Tcller finally moved to lay the
German amendment on the table, and
this was the signal for Mr.. Gorman's final
move in withdrawing the proposition.
Work on the sundry civil bill was then
proceeded with. 1t was not felt necessary
to hold night session.
Tho day was wasted In the house. SO far
as tho purposes for what the day was set
aside were conccrned-namely, to consider
bills reported from the committee on pub
lie buildings and grounds. Only one bill
was called up, that to purchase what is
known as the Malone site for now pub
lie printing office but after a wrangle of
several hours the house got into parlia-
mentary tangle which nccessitated the
abandonment of the bill. The conference
reports on the bill to prohibit the importa-
tion of goods in bond through the United
States into the Mexican free zone and on
the pension and postotlice appropriation
bills were agreed to. Several pension and
other bills of minor Importance We're
passed by unanimous consent.
