Over the Bill.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, February "a
In the stnate a wrangle occurred over Sen
atcr Pears resolution to pay the expenses
incurred by the joint committee in enter
tanning William ]. Bryan last Saturday.
The Pear resolution contained an itemized
account of the expenses incurred in receiv-
IL g and entertaining Mr.. Bryan. The whole
amount was s93. and he asked that the
senate pay one-half of this out of Its con-
Urgent fund and the house pay the rest
The heavy items in the account were due
to young woman from Illinois, who, be-
cause OF her energy In pushing the sale of
campaign buttons, is facetiously known as

THE HOUSE.

At the opening Of the session of the
House today Mr.. Powers (Vt.) called I'D
the conference report on the bill to define
the rights of the purchasers under fore
closure sale Of the Atlantic and Pacific
railroad.
He explained that the decision of the
Supreme Court, made since the bill passed,
confirmed the validity of the act forfeiting
the unearned land Of the Atlantic and Pa
cifc. and said this removed the objection
to the House amendment on that subject.
Mr.. McRae (Ark) criticised the language
of the forfeiture clause, which he thought
might be construed to nullify the Supreme
Court decision and validate contracts made
by the railroads for the sale Of forfeited
lands under the act of 1887. He thought
an amendment should be agreed to which
would remove all ambiguity.
Mr.. Powers said Mr.. McRae's object
was purely technical. The report was
agreed to-l00 to a

According to a communication laid before
the Senate today from Acting Secretary

Quate for The purpose. and there is i'm
mediate necessity for the construction and

irgton, ID. c.. used for the safe-keeping of
bonds held on account of national banks to
secure circula ton AMI deposits of public
moneys, and bonds hell on account Of the
various trust funds, with the earnest re-
quest that an appropriation of SsoWW be
made to provide for the construction and
erection of a burglar-proof extension and
Tor making the present vault burglar proof
This estimate is submitted as :he result of
a careful examination by the experts con-
nected with the office of the supervising
architect.
The extension is to be entirely burglar
PROOF. with two modern doors five inches
and three inches thick respectively: the
front of the vault to be three inches thick
and Sides ceiling and floor to DE one and
one-half inches thick. The back, sides,
floor and ceiling of the old vault ara to be

The aggregate amount of bonds held in
