A PROLONGED DEBATE.
Anything But an Interesting Ses-
sion in the House.


sion in the House.
Washington, Feb. PA few weeks
ago the house was the scene of a pro-
longed debate, full of bitterness and
personal accusation, concerning the
Pacific railroads refunding bill. To-
day another opportunity for a display
of temper and recrimination on the
same subject was given in the consider
alton of a paragraph in the deficiency
bill appropriating 81, 800 900 to pay a
judgment of the court of claims in ia
vor of the Southern Pacific. but the
matter was considered in a rather digni-
fed manner, with merely suggestion
OF feeling.
Mr. Sayers (Dem. Tex) led the op-
position to the opinion, taking the
ground that the Southern Pacific con-
trolled the Central Pacific road and
should not be paid any money while
the latter stood so deeply indebted to
the government.
The house, in committee of the whole,
refused to strike out the paragraph in
question, and also refused to make
some minor amendments designed to
curtail the benefits conferred by the
bill on the Pacific railroads.
Later on, Mr.. Sayers endeavored TO
have the deficiency bill sent back to
the committee on appropriations, WIN
instructions to strike out the Pacific
railroad paragraphs, but was defeated
on yea and nay vote.
The deficiency bill was passed with
few changes in its provisions.
The appropriation of $4,000 to refund
to members sums deducted from their
salaries for absence was eliminated, as
were likewise items providing for the
payment of annual salaries to the spe-
cial employees.
Mr.. Boutelle, the chairman of the
naval committee, succeeded in getting
up the naval appropriation bill before
adjournment. and after he had ex-
planned its principal provisions con-
siderable progress in its reading was
made before the end of the days ses-
sion, which came atsEi20 o'clock.
No exercises-in eSlebration of Wash
ington's birthday took place in the
house.

PRoDDING M'KINLEY.
Stone Introduces Resolution That
Will Worry Him.

Stone Introduces Resolution That
Will Worry Him.
Washington, Feb. 22.-Mr @. W.
Stone of Pennsylvania submitted to
the house today the report OF the com
mittee on weights, coinage and meas
ures, recommending the passage of the
bill providing for the appointment of
commissioners to represent the United
States at any monetary conference
which may be called hereafter.
Mr.. Stone referred briefly to the four
monetary conferences which have been
held, and says that since 1895 the leg
islatures of Great Britain, France and
Germany have declared in favor of
such a conference Continuing, he
said:
In the face of such explicit declara-
tions Of opinion by the legislative
branches of the three great monetary
powers of Europe, we cannot assume
that the governments of these coun-
tries would decline to join in a con-
ference, nor ought we to assume that
would misrepreSent or antagOniZe the
national sentiment indicated by the
expressions of the legislative repre-
sentatives Of the people.
The incoming executive has frankly
and unequivocally stated that the Re
publican party has declared in favor
of an International agreement, and if
elected president it will be my duty to
employ all proper means to promote it,
Your committee believes that the
executive should be aided in the per-
formance Of this duty by promptly
vesting in him full and explicit power
to use every appropriate means to
promote an International agreement
Your committee believes that the
American people intended and expect
that an earnest and bona fide effort
shall be made TO reach an international
agreement on the currency question;
and to enable the incoming executive
to- give effect to that intention and
meet that expectation, he should be
invested with full power, not simply
for three-fourths. or one-half, of his
term, but for every day and hour of il.
and it therefore recommends the
prompt passage of its bill before the
adjournment of this congress-
Mr. Stone will endeavor to have the
matter considered by the house at an
early date.

London. Feb. 22-The mission of
United States Senator Wolcott to
Europe. in the interest of bimetallism.
is the subject of a long article in the
Pail Mall Gazette today, in which the
paper says there is not a bit of evil
dence that Mckinley is in sympathy
with Mr.. Wolcott's mission, nor is
there the slightest indication that his
visit to Europe had even unofficial
sanction.
In conclusion the Gazette says:
Senator Wolcott came as a private
advocate of cause discredited by a
majority of his fellow countrymen.
Under such circumstances to expect he
would receive official support from the
foreign opponents in such a cause, re-
quired a degree of childlike simplicity
rare anywhere and which no one would
expect to find in Colorado. On his re-
turn, Senator Wolcott will find that the
newspapers alone will display any
anxiety regarding the result of his
personally conducted European tour.
1{e has met many distinguished people
in England. France and Germany, but
in not one of these countries did he find
that bimetallism was considered neces-
sary to its welfare. Though the mis-
sion was absolutely fruitless, it was
quite as successful as it deserved to

shopping and handshaking.

atmosphere. What little he performed
today did not seem to worry his
breathing apparatus appreciably, and
the Australian protests that he does
not feel any distressing effect after eX-
ertion. His chief concern is regarding
the weather. Unless he can do a few
miles on the road every day, he feels
that time is being wasted. Work on
his artificial half-mile track is being
rushed.
Corbett put in a hard days work.
Up before s o'clock, he took a light
breakfast before wearing out his
brother Joe at handball. Billy Woods
was harnessed up in his ife-preserver
and cheSt-protector and punched about
the court until he could no longer carry
his trappings. McVey is still under
blankets, and Corbett is begging for
work. All visitors are invited to play
handball or take a few drives at the
champion with gloves, but volunteers
are not plentiful.
Two hours of handball. boxing and
bag punching attracted a large crowd

afternoon, among them being num-

arrival of George Green and Jeffries.

much right to admission as they now
enjoy at theaters. Their presence
would tend to preserve order and give
tone TO the performance. A meeting
of Stuart's advisors will shortly be
held to consider the matter.
Forecast officials ventured on the
street today without fear. The ther-
mometer ranged from s below zero at
daybreak up to 40 above about p. m.
