Washington April 1S.-Tht debate
on the bond resolution was resumed
Yesterday, Mr.. Hill continuing MS
speech, which was not yet completed
Mr.. Hoar supported the proposed BON
investigation. The debate is proVlg
attractive to the public, the gatlerls
being crowded throughout the day.
An exciting episode occurred late Ii
the day concerning Pacific railroad al
fairs. Mr.. Gear, chairman OF the Ia
cihc railroad committee, presented
bill providing for an adjustment OF the
railroad debt. This led Mr.. Alien CT
Nebraska to critictse Mr.. Gear for his |
alleged partiality to &c. P. Huntington
and his lobby"
A bitter personal alteration between
Mr.. Gear and Mr.. Allen followed, dur
ing which Mr.. Allen declared that MI
Gear had uttered a "falsehOod' CON
corning Gen. Weaver Of Iowa Mr..
Hoar called Mr.. Allen to order and de-
manded that his words be taken down.
Mr.. Allen was obliged to take MS seat
but on motion of Mr.. Faulkner ne was
allowed to proceed in order.
To avoid struggle for precedence,
the senate, on motion OF Mr.. Cannon
(Rep,) Of Utah, took up the resolution
directing the secretary of the interior
to open the Uncompaghre Indian res
ervation without further delay, the IN
derstanding being that the bond in
yestigation resolution should come UP
at Q o'clock as unfinished business
After Mr. Brown had spoken for the
resolution he sought to secure vote
but Mr.. German asked that action Df
deferred owing to the absence OF Mr.
Villas, who desired to be heard,
This brought ON warm coiICqUy

In the first intim0tiOn from q dlatin
g,yished senator on the other side OF tn
chamber that delays in public bIaineS
-. were occurring,
eve surrendered control as grace
fully as POSSIBLE to the other side
% said Mr.. German, "and we had hope
> business wCuld be pushed along, but
have observed with wonder that Il
:. senators in control have not mappt
out some wzll-defned policy"
"The senator understands and d
country understands" said Mr. Al
rich, in response to Mr.. German, "th
O. neither Of the great parties has III
Mt jorty in the senate
S: Mr.. German insisted thaa Inc cc1rT
$ O, the committees gave control OF t
I'd senate"
ce Does that control permit a tar
is bill to be brought in and passed here
u asked Mr.. Chandler, but Mr.. Corn
parried the question.
N. Mr.. Villas then prdreeted with
81 speech opposing the Utah resolution
