SENATE.

During almost the entire session Of
the Senate today the Indian appropra-
tion bill was under discussion The
reading Of the bill was completed and
all OF the committees amendments We're
adopted. Subsequently several amend
ments of a minor character We're at
tachec to the measure. Mr.. Alien, of
NebraS ska, en'livened the proceedings a
few minutes before adjournment by
making an attack upon Speaker Reed.
he declared that it was impossible to
secure the passage through the Hpusc
OF any meritorious measure because one
man stood at the entrance of the cav
ems into which proposed lesisla ton
was dumped, and would permit moth
ahS To be done about that of which he
did not approve. He said THAT lin the
6--htr end Of the capitol this one man
stands for 32S, and his bold, unwarran-
ted, undignified action was disgrace
TO the Congress and to the American
people
sMr. Frye, of Maine, said the Senator
lAllenl was himself out of order while
Speaking TO a point of order.
Mir. Allen said he had no desire to vio-
nate the rules and did not think he ma
violated them as he had not referred
no any man by name nor to any partic-
ular end of the capitol
This was received with sarcastic
augaltsr by other Senator'S and even
MFR. Allen smiled.
q Further along in his remarks Mr. A.
..Hsl reverted 70 the power exercised BY
1.-THE Speaker of the House, declaring
that in view of the impossibility of Sc
curing consideration of meritorious
legislation the truth ought to be known
10 all people in the country. If he
