THE CLOUD LIFTED.


Senator German Withdraws His
Amendment, and the Senate Gets to
Work Again
Washington, d. c., February ~
When the Senate net to-day ii was
with the agreement that a vote should
be taken on the sundry civil bill at 3
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. The
final issue, which has hung like a great
menacing cloud over the Senate cham
Der for many weeks, was suddenly and
permanently dissipated to-day. For
four hours there was a storm of de-
bate, in which the most conspicuous
financial figures OF the Senate were lis
tened to by crowded galleries. And
then Mr.. German, whose financial
amendment had brought on the con
test, withdrew the proposition, and the
subject was summarily disposed of.
Thus, the financial issue which had
threatened serious delay TO the appro-
priation bill. was Unexpectedly swept
away. MIR. German made
THE PRINCIPAL SPEECH
in advocacy of the proposition for au-
thOrizing 500 100000 of debt certifi-
Gates to meet treasury deficiencies.
Mr. Hill, of New York, made a spir-
tied speech against the amendment
which involved him in several sharp
colloquys. Mr. Sherman, Mr.. Allison
and Mr. Aldrich supported the German
amendment. Mr. Voorhees,, chairman
of the Finance Committee. opposed the
amendment on the ground that it was
needless and was directly opposed to
the wishes of the President and Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Mr.. Mills spoke
vigorously against the issue OF bonds.
Mr.. Teller finally moved to lay the
German amendment on the table, and
this was the signal for Mr.. Germans
final move in Withdrawing the PROPOSE
tiOn.
Work on the sundry civil bill was
then proceeded with.
