PROGRESS IN THE SENATE.
LESS PROSPECT NOW OF AN EXTRA
SESSION.

rEArEp IN ITS ATTEMPT TO TAKE UP THE
RAILROAD POOLING BILL-THE INDIAN
g11I. PASSED AND THE AIR SOME
WHAT CLEARED-A LIVELY
sPARRING BOUT.
inv TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE.]


u,.,r,,on Feb 2S-The defeat in the Sena .e
4. s.. ~, the decisive vote Of 42 to "a of Mr.. But
,.-.. motion TO take up the Pooling bill cleared
,h. atmosphere to some extent and revived the
r...onable hope that the necessary business of
Tho session may be completed before adjournment.
Although the Democratic Steering Committee had
,,ven its formal sanction TO Mr.. Buffers motion.
Ne chairman of that committee, Mr. German.
mucceeded in throwing about half the Democratic
vote against consideration. thus insurng the fail
ure Of the committees nominal purpose to give a
chance to the Pooling bill. On tho Republican
side the motion was opposed because IL was evil
dent that no time could be spared for the Pooling
bill while three great appropriation bills were
still pressing for consideration.
The signal defeat Of the Steering Committee put
the Senate in a somewhat better temper than has
been shown during the last few days and the
Indian Appropriation bill was finally allowed to
slip through without further obstruction. As no
other measures now hope to obtain the right
OF way over the appropriation bills, 1t seems prop
able that progress with the latter measures may
be somewhat expedited in which case the danger
of forcing an extra session Of the next Congress
will be greatly lessened.
To-day's session was marked by some keen per-
sonal sparring between Senators Butler. German.
Chandler and Wolcott and by the introduction by
the Colorado Senator of an International Bimetal-
lie Conference scheme an amendment to the
Sundry Civil Appropriation bill

modus vvend in 1892 (Article W, that any pros.
pective damages growing out of the application OF
that pa. tcular modus should be passed upon by the
arbitrators, but both Governments, through tner
agents at Paris waved all such rights In the only
court OF redress open to them. In addition to
this precedent Is against the awarding OF prospect

tration. when the United States demanded conse,
quential damages, the tribunal promptly ruled
them out. Omittlng all questions Of excessive ap-
praisements Of vessels and nigh valuations OF pros
pective catches. there are grave doubts as TO
whether a commission would approve such conse-
