FRIDAY. NAY %.

In the Senate Mr.. Butler IN. c.. P.) renewed
his motion to proceed with the bond prohibit
Ion resolution, declining to accede to requests
from various Senators for routine business.
Mr.. Hill had remained standing from the
time Mr.. Butler made his first effort TO pro-
coed, and the New York Senator inter-
posed the objection that this was too mpor-
iant question to be considered without a
quorum" This was the first evidence of q
renewal of obstruction.
Mr.. Buffers motion was then put to vote
without further obstruction. Mr.. Hill demand

In the Senate, the proposition made by Sena-
tor German TO issue $l00,000000 per cent
certificates redeemsble in three years with
which to meet the excessively large appropria-
tions made by this Congress was rejected. The
amendment was laid upon the table by vote
of 40 yeas 10 nine nays. The latter votes were
cast by Senators Cockrel, Daniel, German,
Gray. Hill. Mitchell (Wis.) Smith, and Villas
all Democrats.
The proposition was opposed by Senator
Mills. who said that there were well-regn ated
methods 10 raise revenue without resortng to
this emergency scheme, and also by Senator
Sherman. who was particularly vigorous in his
remarks. lie said il was unexampled in the
history Of the country that such proposition
should be made in n time of peace TO keep the
Treasury from bankruptcy. 1t came at time
when the country was amply able to provide
revenue for the Government.
. i would tear up every one of these appro-
pration bills" said Senator Sherman in clos.
ing. rather than issue 100000 600 in Treas
nry certificates in single year"
Senator German. in reply, said that in 1893
Senator Sherman had PROF. Osed to issue $780,
100000 in certificates to meet all impending de-
hciency, but Senator Sherman denied that this
was the case. as the loan was to secure a sink
ing fund. Mr.. German insisted that the de-
fciency was then reality. owing to the pro-
hibitive rates Of the Mckinley law. The
failure Of the income tax feature OF the tariff
act and the too-liberal extension of the free
list had led 10 the present lack of revenue.
The direct appropriations and contracts author
lied this year would reach almost $500 100000,
while the revenue would be far short of that
amount. What was to he done TO meet this
deficiency asked Mr.. German.
The Notifications bill was passed.

MIR. platt Conn. RI opposed the committee

money TO private charities, whether sectarian
or not.
Mr. Gallinger IN. H., R. added protest
against the committee change, and expressed
his belief that If the present Congress failed
TO meet this question by restricting Govern
ment appropriations to strictly Government
purposes the reform would be carried out IN
the near future.

preservation, an immediate response swept
over the North like tidal wave and regi-
