IN CONGRESS
The Senate viii Vote on the Treaty
Thursday Next.

Washington. Dec. 1S.--The senate
was In open session only an hour Mon
day. the remainder of the legislative
day being spent in executive session
upon the Hay-P -Pauncefote treaty. Mr..
Chandler IN H.) created little fur
ry by endeavoring again to get up the
resolution relating to the Montana
senatorial case. The effort was futile.
No legislative business, aside from
the purest routine, was transacted.
The senate reached an agreement
to vote on the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
next Thursday, beginning with votes
on the amendments at o'clock in the
afternoon.
At 1870 p. m, on motion of Mr..
Lodge (Mass.) the senate went into
executive session to resume consider
alton of the Pauncefote treaty,
and at AS adjourned.
Under suspension of the rules the
house MONDAY passed bills to divide
Kentucky and west Virginia into two
judicial districts, to create another
district judge in the northern district
of Ohio and to refer TO the secretary
of the interior for investigation on the
claim of the state of Texas for mon
eys expended on public improvements
in Greer county before the decision of
the supreme court placed it within the
jurisdiction of Oklahoma. An attempt
was made to pass a bill to give sol
dIers and sailors of the civil war, the
Spanish war and the war in the Philip
pines preference in the matter of ap-
pointment to and retention in posi-
tions in the executive departments of
the government, but it aroused oppo-
sition on the ground that it would
practically shut out of the government
employ for years to come all civilians
and was overwhelmingly defeated.
One hundred and two private pension
bills were passed.
Just before the house adjourned a
fine tribute was paid to Representa-
tive Chas. A. Boutelle, of Maine, who
served 10 years in congress and who
has been reelected to the 57th con
gress. Mr.. Littleield, of Maine, asked
unanimous consent for the considera.
tion Of a bill to place him on the re-
tired list as a captain in the navy,
Mr.. Boutelle having been in the navy
during the civil war. Mr. Littlefeld
said that Mr.. Boutelles condition was
such that he undoubtedly would re-
sign. The condition of the Maine rep
resentative was well known to repre-
sentatives. and although some of them
were inclined to protest against the
proposed legislation as establishing a
dangerous precedent, no objection was
made and the bill was passed.
The house at 5:15 D. IN adjourned
