The example furnished by Mr.. Williams is
one that but few cities in America eau equal.
Fifty years OF uninterrupted business expert

IN THE SENATE AND HOUSE.

A critical stage of the financial discussion
was unexpectedly precipitated in the Senate
at a late hour yesterday, just before Senators
were preparing to 90 home. Intermittent
references had been made to the subject
throughout the day, but it WAS without def
mite form and purpose, and the Senate finally
lapsed into a discussion of the District of
Columbia appropriation bill.
But the financial question arose incident
ally, and finally. at O'Clock, Mr.. German
launched into a speech which proved to be
one OF the most effective he has delivered at
the present session of Congress. He pointed
out the gravity of the Treasury situation iE-
timating that the facts were being held back,
and that an investigation would show start
ling deficiencies.
He defended the Senate against charges of
impotency, and declared that he had perfect
faith that this great body would do its full
duty before Congress adjourned. He said u
financial remedy would, if necessary, be
added as rider to an appropriation bill.
Spurred on by the energy Mr.. German had
suddenly injected into the question: the Sem
ate at once proceeded to consider and pass
three important resolutions, calling on Secre-
tary Carlisle for information concerning
every detail bearing on revenues, reserves,
deficiencies, etc.
A warm party debate occurred during the
day on the question of party extravaganza.
MI. SuduuicI, MI Iistli, duu OtucE Iapupli-
can Senators asserted that the total of appro-
priations for this Congress would reach
81 ,001. .000, 900, or a million in excess of the
billion appropriated by the Fifty-first Con-
gress.
The House devoted six hours yesterday to
the debate on the Pacific Railroad funding
bill, and although the speeches on both sides
were characterized by unusual earnestness
there were no marked sensational Incidents
Those who participated in the discussion
were Messrs. Powers and Lockwood, in favor
of the measure, and Me5srs. Boatner, Snod-
grass, and Cooper in opposition to it.
