IN THE HOUSE.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE House had
another inning. today, over the sale of
the New York custom house by Sec
rotary Gage. Mr.. Sulzer of New York,
the author Of the resolution for an in
vestigation of the .secretary's transac-
ton with the New York banks. started
the ball rolling by charging that the
mandate had already gone forth to
suppress it. Mr.. Sibley. a Pennsylva-
MIA Democrat. formerly a radical ad-
vCcate of free silver. who is now out
of sympathy with the Democrats in
the House. warmly commended Mr..
Cages course. These two speeches
preciptated debate which lasted
about three hours. Mr.. Grosvenor of
Ohio. explained that the committee on
rules to which the SulZcr resolution
had gone, had not acted because no
evidence had been produced before the
committee to warrant the ordering Of
such far-reaching investigation. Not
a single person had appeared before
the committee to press it. Mr.. Hep
burn, Rep. Iowa. assaulted Mr.. SulZer
for some of his eXtraVagant statements
and declared there ought to be some
way to rebuke n member for SANDER
ing honored officials. Later in the day
during the discussion Of the appropri-
alton for the army. Mr.. Cannon. in
charge Of the bill, challenged any mem
Der to move to strike it out. Mr.. Will
liams. Dem. Miss. replied to Mr.. Can
non in an eloquent speech in which he
affirmed the loyalty Of every Ameri
can citizen to the flag ana charged Mr.
cannon with shrewdly issuing 4 chal-
lenge that he knew would not be ac-
cepted, He maintained the right how
ever of members to criticise the policy
Of the government, asserting that 10y
atty to the flag was often COMPOUNDED
with loyalty to n policy Of the govern
ment. The urgent deficiency bill was
passed with only one. unimportant
a amendment.

Roberts Investigating Committee Will Repor,
Against Seating the PoIysamist.

Washington, Jan. 17.-An agreement
was easily reached in the Senate, to.
day, to take final vote on the pending
bill fixing gold as the standard of value
in the United States, Feb. Is. In the
intervening time the measure will be
discussed
After several days of debate the drag
net resolution of inquiry regarding the
conduct of the Philippine war was
adopted. 1t was introduced by Mr.
Hoar, Mass, and practically was
adopted as a general substitute for
resolutions Of a similar but less ex-
tended character offered by Mr.. Petit
grew and Mr.. Lodge. Beyond a yigor-
Gus speech by Mr.. Pettigrew. the reso-
luton aroused no debate, as ii is with
in the discretion Of the President tC
send or not to send any information
required.
The resolution offered by MIR Hale
Maine, as to the seizure Of -four by the
British authorities, was adopted. but
only after a spirited debate ana after
the resolution had been marterially
amended. Mr.. Davis, chairman Of the
committee on foreign relations. made
a sharp attack upon the resolution, but
withdrew his objections after il had
been amended.
Mr.. Teller Silver Rep, con, al
dressed the Senate upon thu financial
bill and will continue his speech. To-
morrow.
In the tOday's executive Session of the
Senate Senator Jones If Arkansas
moved to Reconsider the vote by which
the Samoan treaty was ratified, yester-
day. He based his motion upon a
statement which he said he had seen
in the press To the effect that the
American flag had already been run
up on the island Of Tutuila. If this
report was true. he thought the Senate
should know Of the fact and have an
opportunity to deal with it in accord
ance with the treaty. Senator Frye re-
piled that the report to which Senator
Jones referred was without foundation.
No action was taken upon the motion,
but il was decided to recall the treaty
which had been forwarded to the Pres
ident with notice Of the Senate's favor
able action upon it. The Senate also
received the favorable report of the
committee on foreign relations upon
the eytradition treaties with Peru and
Chilli the boundary treaty with Mexico
and The Hague peace treaty.

1t is said at the war department that
there is no special significance in the
fact that Gen. Wheeler has been re
leved from further military duty in
the Philippines and ordered home. AL
though he made no complaint. it is
understood that the active duty in the
field has undermined Gen. WherlerS
health and that il was dangerous for
him to remain in the tropical climate
of the Philippines much longer. While
/ ii is not officially admitted that Zen.
Wheeler has resigned his commission.
it is stated positively that if he has
taken such step. the President will
suspend action until he has had al
opportunity to confer with him on the
subject with view to dissuading him
from such a course. He is nearly "a
years of age. the statutory limit of
active service in the army and but for
that fact would have been appointed
brigadier general in the regular army.
The President is said to favor legisla-
ton which will authorize the appoint
ment Of Gen. Wheeler, Gen. Lee and
perhaps one or two others, to be brig
adler generals on the retired list in
acknowledgment of their faithful SER
vices to the country during the Spanish
war. 1t is said that is one of the rea-
sons why Gen. Wheeler is summoned
home at this time. His orders which
were issued several days ago. require
him 10 come to Washington, by way of
