HOUSE PRoCEEDINGC.


Washington April 27.-This was
District of Columbia day in the house
and the pension bill was sidetracked
under an arrangement to give the Dis
trict the first two hours. Several Dis
trict bills were passed.
Mr.. Henderson (Rep) of Iowa, chair
man of the committee on judiciary, gave
notice that he would call up the bank
ruptcy bill as soon as the pension bill
was disposed of.
Mr.. Henderson, from the committee
on rules, then, at 1:30 p. M. brought in
special order for the consideration of
the Pickler pensionsbil for one and one
half hours this evening under the five
minute rule the previous question then
to be considered as order on the bill and
pending amendments with a provision
for final vote tomorrow Immediately
after the reading of the journal
Mr.. Crisp DEM of Georgia charac-
terized the rule as a remarkable one. He
said it pretended to do one thing but did
another, as only such amendments as
were adopted in committee could be voted
on. The practical consequence of the
adoption of the rule would be to force
| the house to vote on the bill without
| amendment.
Mr.. Dingley tRep.) of Maine replied
| that the rule was almost a literal copy
of the rule adopted by the last house
when the Wilson tariff bill was pending.
| "That rule permitted the house to vote
on the pending amendments when the
| time for debate expired" said Mr.. Crisp.
"The gentleman is not candid"
| Mr. DinpIpy insisted tha sDirit of the
| two rules were the same.
| Mr.. Dingley said he made no dis
| guse of the fact that the purpose of the
rule was to bring the bill to vote. He
said the situation must be taken into con-
sideration and urged all the friends of
the old soldiers to stand by the bill as the
| best that could he written on the stat
ute books at this time.
Mr.. Crisp reiterated his statement that
| the purpose of the rule was to destroy
| the right of amendment and followed
this with the charge that the bill had been
framed not by the committee on pensions,
but by the leaders in control of the house
| who had resolved that the house should
pass this bill as drawn or nothing.
"The committee on pensions" said he,
"spent several days and weeks perfect
ing a bill, and then the gentlemen who
control legislation and who manage the
affairs of this house made this bill out
in the speakers room. This certainly
is not the bill reported by the pension
committee. Then these gentlemen
brought in this bill to protect themselves
against the 80 Republican majority:
'If you adopt the rule you must take
this bill as it stands or nothing" he con-
cluded, sarcastically, addressing the Re-
publican side. "If you like the situation
you are welcome to it."
Mr.. Henderson ridiculed the virtuous
| Indignation of Mr.. Crisp.

voice of the star chamber rules commit

PACIFIC ROADS BILL.

Washington, April 25.-Chairman
Powers of the house committee on Pa
cifc railways today presented to the
house the report of the majority on the
Pacific railway bill. 1t makes very
comprehensive and exhaustive docu-
ment. The report sketches very briefly
the familiar history of the legislation
by which the government granted sub
sdy bonds to the Pacific roads and then
outlines exhaustively the provisions con-
grcss has made from time to time for
the repayment of the bonds.
Three possible lines of policies seemed
outlined TO the government, Chairman
Powers states, viz:
First-To enter into possession of the
properties. which would involve the i'm
mediate payment of SCI, $3.50 first
mortgage bonds.
Second-Foreclosur and sale of the
governments lien. which would prac-
tically reach the same result of the gov
ernment's acquisition of the roads.
The roads. if sold for what they would
fetch, would yield little or nothing for
the government on its debt.
Third-To make an arrangement with
the companies which should secure to
the government the payment of liked
amounts at prescribed dates as large as
the reasonably anticipated earnings
would bear
The committee, the report continues,
adopted the third plan and extended the
! government lien to embrace the whole
properties. including terminals, branch
lines, feeders and equipments.

Little Eva Morris, daughter of Mr..

An alarm of fire was sounded this
evening which drew the usual crowd.
The fire companies responded promptly,
but their services were not needed. The
cause of the alarm was slight flue fire

Went. 1t was now proposed that all ma

make. While in full sympathy with
every encouragement of American inter-
eests, yet the senator said he did not be-
ieve in having this sentiment used to
further enrich Il lot of millionaires.
Inc armor manufacturers were charg-
ing 5000 ton for armOr used by the
United States and at the same time fur
nishing armor to Russia at $500 ton.
Il am unwilling to see these million

hands in the pockets of Uncle SAM" de-
clared Mr.. Tillman.
officer who took part in making con-
tracts for armor was able to look ahead
to the time he would be on the retired
list and might enter the service of the
contractors.
In answer to question Mr.. Hale said
the experts before the naval committee
had shown that the cost of producing
armor was S2oO per ton.
Mr.. German called attention to the
grave suggestions of irregularity some
time ago resulting in en- investigation
by the naval committee in regard to the
cost of armor.
Mr.. German asked if the committee
had not succeeded in developing anything
more than the minor Importance as to the
retiring officers serving contractors.
Mr.. Chandler responded that this was
by no means all that the committee had
examined into. He would say, however,
that no imputation against any high Off
cial of the government was involved.
There had been some disclosures as to
the interest of naval officers in patents
used by the government and the pro-
priety of this interest was now under
consideration. The largest question to
which the committee had given it's at
tention was the price of armor plates.
Mr.. German went on to show in detail
the manner in which the armor contracts
had been placed in the United States.
Secretary Tracy had sought the Ameri-
can manufacturers and had induced them
to put in plants capable of turning out
armOr and as q result these works were
constructed. AS means of entering
foreign markets armor had been offered
to Russia at less than it cost until large
loreiSn cOntruCtS were secureu. IL gave
the prospect that we would be able to
compete with England in sending steel
blooms abroad.
Mr.. Tillman interjected the remark
that when these armor concerns claimed
they were furnishing armOr to Russia
at loss he did not believe them. 1t had
been developed in the committee investi-
cation that the original design was to pay
sufficient for armor to pay for putting
in the armor plate plants This had been
done, and this way the government had
practically established the Bethlehem
works, although the contractors owned
| it and were interested in getting the high
est possible prices for armor
After further debate the bill was laii
aside, and at 5:15 the senate adjourned.

REpURIJCAN WOMEN.

Springfield. Ills, April 27.--The politi-
cal woman is much in evidence today
in this city. The state convention of
Republican women.is to be held here to-
morrow, and many women are here from
all parts of the state. The delegates will
favor a woman from the central part of
the state for trustee of the University of
Illinois. The Republican women's gath
erings are getting more influential every
year. They are largely due to the eX-
ecutiye ability of Mrs j. Ellen Foster.
The Democrats tried to set the women
at work in 1892, and the Democratic
Influence clubs were formed. Mrs.
Mary Frost Ormsby of New York was at
the head of the movement. She got into
so many wrangles that the movement

The amendment was later offered in
another form and defeated.
The claims under the Bowman act
were ruled out on point of order. AS
thus amended the sundry civil bill was
passed.
Mr. Chandler asked for early action
on the resolution of the senate for inves-
tigation into Alabama elections. This
brought out a statement from Mr.. Allen

tnat of other Populists would be given
for the investigation, so that III forty
four Republican votes were given. the
resolution would pass.
Mr.. Pugh Dem.) of Alabama said it
would be the most remarkable event in
the history of the senate if forty-four
senators voted for this investigation.
At 8 p. m. the senate held an executive
session and soon afterwards adjourned.

MKINLEY FOR SOUND MONEY.
New York, April 27.-At meeting of
the Young Mems Republican club in
Brooklyn tonight letter from Senator
John Sherman was read.
Mr. Sherman says:
'"There can be no doubt as to the opinion
of Maj. Mckinley on the money question.
He is committed in every form by speech
and otherwise to the Republican policy of
maintaining the present gold coin of the
United States as the standard of value.
He. in common with myself and others,
believe that silver should be employed as
money always, however, to be maintain
ed at par with gold. The convenience of
silver for the mere transaction of life is
so manifest that no sound man will desire
it's continuance, but upon the primary
condition that its coinage should be limit
ed and its purchasing power maintained
by the fiat of the government at par with
gold. He believes, besides that tariff
should be adopted that will impartially
protect all American industries from un-
due competition with foreign productions
that can be made and ought to be pro-
duced in the United States.

SUNDRY CIVIL APPROPRIATION BILL.
1t Was Passed By the Senate, Carrying
$37, ,000 0O00-Picker Pension Bill
Discussed in the House-The
Grain Eulogies.

Washington, April 25.-The tariff
question made its appearance unexpect-
edly in the senate today and for a. time
it looked as though the routine of con-
sidering appropriation bills would give
way to a general tariff debate.
Mr.. Sherman endeavored to secure
action on the bill relating to fruit bran
dies and alcohol used in the arts.
Mr.. Chandler gave warning, however,
that if the bill was taken up it would
involve debate ON the entire tariff
question.
Mr.. Platt went further by stating that
if this correction of the revenue laws
was attempted, he would urge that the
entire Wilson bill be repealed and the
former Mckinley law revived.
After amendments. the vote on Mr..
Sherman's motion to proceed was fol-
lowed with great interest, resulting in
the defeat of the motion-22 to q.
The sundry civil appropriation bill was
completed and passed during the day.
As it passed the house it carried about
$30,000,00O; as reported to the senate
it reached $50. .000,000 and with amend
ments the total was raised to $37 7,OOO,-
600.
