Washington. March 1.-THE last legis-
lative step in the enactment OF the
financial bill was taken by the house or
representatives yesterday when the
conference report on the bill was
adopted by vote Of 1866 TO 40; pres
ent and not voting, 10. The senate had
already adop,ed the conference report,
so that it remains only for President
Mckinley to affix his signature to the
measure to make ii O law. Representa-
tive Overstreet, the author OF the Dill,
will take il TO the White House to-day,
and the signature Is likely TO be Affixed
SOC n thereafter. Already arrangements
have been made for securing the pen
with which the president Will sign the
bill The debate on the report contin-
ued throughout the day. Mr.. Overstreel
Of Indiana opening, and Mr.. Brosius or
Pennsylvania closing in support OF the
measure, while Mr. Little of Arkansas
closed in opposition with severe ar
raignment of the bill. The vote was
on party lines except that nine Demo
Gratis joined with the Republicans In
supporting the conference report.
The senate.
Personal explanations were made
yesterday In the senate by Mr.. Allen or
Nebraska and Mr.. Butler OF North car
DINA of their positions on the financial
question. Both announced their belief
in the free and unlimited coinage or
silver ut the ratio of 16 to l. The
statements were called out by reports
to the contrary which had gained circu-
lation. Mr.. Turner Of Washington be-
gan an extended speech on the Porto
Rican bill He maintained that the
pending measure clearly was unconsti-
tutional and expressed his belief that
it would be SO held IL II were passed
upon by the supreme court.
The Senate. -
Washington, March 15.-Two argu-
ments were presented to the senate
yesterday in which almost antlpodal
positions were taken by two senators.
Mr. Teller of Colorado, in brief
speech maintained that the constitu-
ton could not extend over territory ac-
Quired by the United States, while MT.
Turner Of Washington elaborately con.
tended that the constitution embraced
the acquired territory the very moment
the United States took possession OF 1t.
Mr.. Teller held that this government
could make this outlying territory into
states or could hold it as colonies as It
saw fit; while Mr.. Turned maintained
that the United States could not main
tain colonies or dependencies. Abide
from the constitutional letters the two
senator's were In practical agreement.
Both were opposed to the pending bill
and both were opposed to any Of In
sular territory becoming part OF the
United States or any OF It's inhabitants
citizens Of the United States.
The House.
The District Of Columbia appropria-
ton bill was taken up In the house
yesterday, and under the latitude al
lowed Mr.. Adamson of Georgia dis
cussed the Nicaragua canal. Mr.. Cow
herd, the Philippine question; Mr..
Howard OF Georgia, questions relating
to the Philippines and the "open door
policy in the Orient; Mr.. Rueker OF
Missouri, the ACCESSIBILITY OF electing
senators by the people. and Mr.. Bou-
telle Of Illinois replied to Mr.: Cowherd.

The Senate.

Washington, March 13.-During al
most the entire session of the senate
Yesterday Mr.. RawlIns (Utahy occu-
pied the floor In a discussion of the
Philippine question. He went deeply
into the constitutional phase Of the
question. His argument was largely
legal and technical. He is opposed to
the holding of the Philippines. Eighty.
six private pension bills were passed
The House.
Yesterday, for the second time with
in a week, a Democrat was unseated
by the house and Republican seated
i'm his place. II. A. Wise was given the
seat hitherto occupied by W. A. Young
from the Second Virginia district Pre-.
vious to taking the vote John 5. Wise
of New York. who was formerly n
member of the house from Virginia,
and who is a brother of X. A. Wise and
his attorney in the ease. was excluded
from the hall by Speaker Henderson
on the protest Of the Democrats that
he was abusing the privilege of the
floor, TO which he was entitled by the
rules of the house, by interfering with
the debate upon the case. The votes
were exceedingly close. While none OF
the Republicans voted with the Demo-
Gratis, enough were absent and un-
paired TO reduce the Republican major
ity upon the final vote from 1G, the nor
nal majority, to I. The urgency de-
ficiency bill, carrying 81, i39,3So, was
passed.
