FEDERALLAW MAKERS.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The session
of the senate consumed only few min
Iutes Some routine business was trans
acted, but beyond the introduction Of
bills nothing of consequence was &C
Icomplished.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 13.-The cur
rency debate in the house lasted from
III o'clock this morning until 1920 to-
, night, with a recess of three hours for
dinner. There has been little cross-fir-
! ing thus far and no exciting or dra-
matte Incidents So far as known
twelve democrats-eight from New
| York, two from Pennsylvania, and
one each from Maryland and Massa-
chusetts will vote for the bill. The
speakers before the recess were Fowler
of New Jersey, Lacey of Iowa, Cush-
man of Washington, Hamilton of Mich
Iigan, and Burton Of Ohio, republicans,
! for the bill, and Brundige of Arkansas,
! Wheeler cf Kentucky, Benton of Mis-
souri,, Fox OF Mississippi. Pierce Of
Tennessee, Sulzer of New York, Cow
herd of Missouri, Otey of Virginia,
Gains of Texas, democrats, and Mr..
Bell of Colorado, populist, against it.
The house adopted a resolution for a
holiday recess from Wednesday, Dec.
20, to Wednesday, Jan. 8. Mr.. Rich
ardson, the minority leader, asked that
the house adjourn over tomorrow to
give the members an opportunity to
participate in the Washington mem
orial exercises, but Mr.. Payne, the
majority leader, objected, saying
George Washington, if alive, he
thought, would be in favor of the house
proceeding with the transaction of its
business When the house met the
speaker appointed the following COM
mittees of the senate and District Of
Columbia in preparing plans for the
centennial celebration of the estaD-
lishment OF the seat of government in

man IN. ", Hemenway QndD,
Gamble IS. d., republicans; and
Bailey (Tex.), Devries (Cal), Cow

the feature was the speech of Mr.. Lin
ney On. c., the only republican who
voted for the Teller resolution in the
54th congress, in explanation Of his
change of position in favor of the gold
standard. The gold standard had
stood the test of experience and he
claimed had proved itself the ideal
standard. Other speakers were Messrs.
Robinson (dem., Va.), Connie dem.
MOI. Zenir (dem, Ind.1. Kitchen (dem.

sacrifice of life. 1t is expected he will
renew the attack shortly.
Immediately on receiving the news

CHICAGO LOSES 1T.
PHILADELPHIA CAPTURES THE
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Windy City Loses By One Vote
Payne Will Not Present His
Resolution

l. Washington, Dec. 1.-THE republi-
can national convention will be held
in Philadelphia Tuesday, June 10, next.
This was decided by the national re-
publican committee Friday after a
friendly contest for the honor of en-
tertaining the convention between the
city selected, Chicago, st. Louis ana
New York. The meeting was presto
ed over by Senator Hanna, chairman
Of the committee. Forty-three Of IS
states and six territories were repre-
sented. The proceedings throughout
were enthusiastic and harmonious,
every speech made emphasizing the
fact that President Mckinley should
be nominated and that the convention
should be held simply as ratification
meeting. Upon the first ballot Phila-
delphia received 13 votes, Chicago 20,
New York 7, ST. Louis g. On the sec
ond ballot the contest narrowed to
Philadelphia and Chicago. The New
York votes went to Philadelphia and
the st. Louis voters split Philadel-
phia received % and Chicago %. TN.
Jameson, national committeeman from
then suddenly discovered that
in the excitement he had forgotten to
vote. He demanded the vote should be
re-cast. This was accordingly done
but it did not change the result. Phil
adelphia won by the narrow margin of
one vote. After the appointment of
committees on arrangements and lit
erature adjournment was taken until
II o'clock this morning
After a conference late last night
with the president and prominent re-
publicans, Committeeman Payne de-
cided not to present his resolution for
the reapportionment of delegates to
the convention today, it being deemed,
at this time.
