BANKRUPTCY BILL PASSED.
Involuntary Feature Has Hat 10 Ma
jOrity-The Vote.

WASHINGTON, February 19.-After
four days of consideration the House to-
day passed the bankruptcy bill reported
by the House Committee on Judiciary as
a substitute for the Nelson bill, passed
by the Senate at the extra session last
summer.
The bill Is known as the Henderson bill,
and contains both voluntary and invol-
untary features.
1t Is considered less drastic than the
measure passed by the last House by a
vote of 157 to 81.
The involuntary feature, however, had
but sixteen majority. To-day, motion
10 strike out the involuntary feature was
defeated by a majority of nineteen, and
the bill was passed by a majority of
twenty-three, the vote standing, ayes 49,
nays, 125. Eighteen Republicans voted
against the BILL and twelve Democrats for
it, The Populists with one exception,
voted against II.
To-day the bill was considered under
the five-minute rule for amendment, but
the reading OF the bill which contains
eighty pages, only advanced through the
first section, and only one unimportant
amendment was adopted. II related 10
the definition of a term in the bill. and
corrected an admitted inconsistency. 1t

carried by narrow margin, the roll-call
extending beyond that hour. and the

vote. on the ground that the hour for

occurred, but the point was sustained by

but IL it were a submarine mine, no
traces will be found.
"All the American officers are inter-

is proposed to assemble the remnants Of
the ship.
The Luckenbach Company proposes a
different plan. Their bid contemplates
the use Of large barges, hauled by ocean
tugs. in bringing parts of the wreck to
Norfolk. In other respects. the plan Of
operations Of all bidders is to assume
the entire work Of furnishing appliances,
divers, etc, and delivering such material
as is saved at the Norfolk yard. A gov
eminent official is to make a general in
spection of the work as it proceeds.
The Luckenbach Company claims that
the use Of the barges will cost one fourth
less, and will give better results The
tugs drawing the barges make eight knots
an hour; the Orion makes ten knots. This
difference is said to be immaterial,
making a difference OF only two days in
the time of delivery at the Norfolk navy
yard.
NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS
While the disaster to the Maine has
created a temper in the House for liberal
appropriations for the navy, and while
ii is undoubtedly a fact that the House,
in it's present frame Of mind, would not
hesitate to vote for two new battleships,
one 10 replace the Maine. this temper is
predicated upon by the theory that the
Maine was blown up by external means.
If the official inquiry should develop this
fact beyond peradventure, 1t is believed
a sentiment i'm Congress will be created
against the expenditure Of millions in the
construction of warships that may blow
up at any time.
1t seems likely that a congressional in
vestigation would follow a report from
the Board Of Inquiry attributing the loss
of the Maine to an explosion Of her maya
zine.
