(COnt1nueQ From F1fSt PaBe.) -----~---------~-------~- rado, to concur in the free home clause placed in the bill by the senate
 Two hours and half of the four hours agreed upon yesterday for debating in this proposition remained
 The debate was spirited on both sides
 Against Free Homesteads
 Mir Bailey, the democratic leader, an- nounced he would vote for the senate amendment because he stood committed to it by the Chicago platform. As origi- nal proposition, he admitted, he was against giving free homesteads to people. He rated nothing more important than that the people should have homes, but they should have them by their industry and frugality.
 Mir Dingley closed the debate with a brief speech in opposition to the amend ment. He called attention to the fact that all treaties ceding Indian lanGs by u United States had been ratified by con- gross with the understanding that the pur- chase money paid by settlers should be used to reimburse the United States Nev- CT had proposition been made to pur chase Indian lands for the purpose of do- hating them to free homes. To his mind it was an act of bad faith on the part of those who had induced congress to buy these lands.
 The vote was then taken and the house non-concurred in the senate amendment 99 to 136.
 The conference substitute for the sen- ate amendment to ratify the Seminole treaty which also ratified the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache treaty went out on a point of order and the senate amend ment was non-concurred in. The bill was then sent to conference and at 5:47 D. m. the house adjourned.

1t Will Not Be Taken in the Senate
Until Today.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-In the SEN
ate today the bill offered last Friday
authorizing the postmaster general to
establish postoffices at military posts
and camps was reported favorably,
and unanimously passed. Subsequent
ly. an amendment to the postoffice ap-
proation bill was agreed to, appropri-
ating $4,000 to carry the bill into eff
feet.
The postoffice appropriation bill was
under discussion during almost the en-
tire session, the subject of discussion
being the proposition to reduce the
compensation Of railroads 20 per cent
for carrying the mails. The amend
ment was defeated by the decisive vote
of 40 to s.
Mr. Butler offered an amendment
providing that the government should
own the railway mail cars, and that it
should pay to the railroad companies
only such q sum as the railways re-
ceive for similar service. The amend
ment was defeated without division.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Butler,
providing for the punishment of rail-
road companies, in case of their re-
fusal to carry mails on their fastest
trains, if directed to do so by the post
master general, was agreed to.
Mr.. Butler then offered an amend
ment eliminating from that section
of the bill which provides for an in
yestigation Of the question as to wheth-
er excessive prices are being paid rail
roads for carrying the mails, the clause
which extends the investigation to all
sources of revenue and expenditure OF
the postal service.
At a late hour it became evident the
bill could not be disposed Of today, and
it was unanimously agreed to vote upon
| it at 2 O'Clock tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The greater
part of today in the house was con-
Sumed by war measures.
Mr.. Hull called up the senate i'm
n.une volunteer and engineer bill and
an hour of debate on each side was
agreed upon.
Mr.. Hull said the senate bill was
wanted by the president and the sec
rotary Of war, and it's immediate pas
sage was urged because the time for
the use of troops in Cuba was at
hand, and the utmost haste should be
made to prepare the troops contem-
plated in the bill.
Mr.. Cox (Tenn) opposed the bill, prin-
cipally because it took out of the hands
Of the volunteers the appointment Of
officers. He commended that the i'm
munes would come from two or three
Southern states, and they should name
their field officers. To deny them that
privilege would be unfair and would be
discrimination between the volunteers
called out under the previous act and
those to be called out under the pro-
posed bill.
Mr.. King Otah) asserts that the bill
was Unnecessary, that it discredited the
bravery and power of troops in doubt
ing that 10000 men already organized,
aided by our fleet, was inadequate to
subjugate the island and establish
peace.
Mr.. Grow, Of Pennsylvania, and Mr..
Steele, Of Indiana. approved the bill,
while Mr. Savers, of Texas; Mr.. Lewis,
Of Washington, and Mr.. Lentz, of Ohio,
opposed it. Mr.. Bailey argued for the
naming of the officers by the troops to
be appointed by the governors Of the
states, in accord generally with the VOL
unteer bill formerly passed.
After a number of amendments in
tended to take from the president the
appointment of the officers of the i'm
mnne volunteers had been voted down,
an additional section offered by Mr..
Csrosvemcr co. was adopted.
1t declares specifically, that the pro-
visions relative to appointment of vol
urteers to the several states under call
by proclamation and to the appoint
ntent CT officers as made in the recent
act, providing for 125 900 volunteers,
shall not apply to the present act.
A motion to re-commit offered by
Mr.. Cox (TeX0, was voted down and
the hill as amended was passed.
While district of Columbia bill was
under consideration, Mr.. Bailey raised
the Point of no quorum, and at 4:50 o.
