Several minor amendments were
adopted and about half the bill was
considered. There was deal of ex-
temporaneous debate during the day,

presaging the passage of the pending
measure, it is not regarded as indi-
eating the final vote on the bill. The
feature of the debate yesterday was
the speech of Mr.. Beveridge Gnd.).

tween the United States and Porto

The House.

Washington, Marcel, 28.-There was
some lively debate in the house yester-
day during the consideration of the
army appropriation bill. Little of it
was pertinent to the measure. 1t
covered a wide range of topics, Porto
Rican tariff, the Boer war and the
Philippines. The charge that the
Porto Rican tariff bill was the result
OF deal for raising Republican cam
paign fund was again referred to yes
terday by Mr.. Pierce of Tennessee,
but Mr.. Hull declared that the anony-
nous author of the charge would
never dare avow himself and be brand
ed falsitier. Mr.. Sulzer of New York
made an appeal for the extension OF
Official sympathy. to the Beers in their
struggle for independence, and Mr..
Lentz Of Ohio delivered scathing de-
nunciation Of militarism and the war
In the Philippines. His attack aroused
the sentiment and Indignation of Mr..
Marsh Of Illinois. who, in a bitter ex-
coriation of the Ohio member declared
that the latter's speech was disgrace to
the American congress. He declared
that he was responsible for what he
had said before on and off the floor of
the house. His heated language did
not draw rejoinder from Mr.. Lentz.
The Senate.
Little progress was made by the
senate with the Porto Rican tariff and
government bill. 1t was under discus.
sion for nearly three hours, but the
greater part of the time was consumed
In the consideration of free coinage
amendment offered by Mr.. Morgan.
The amendment is still pending. The
Alaskan civil code bill was considered
during the morning hour. An amend
ment offered by Mr.. Carter setting
aside power hitherto granted to the
secretary of war for the mining of gold
under the sea on the Alaskan coast
precipitated a lively debate.
