1t substantially as reported. Animated
discussion arose over series of amend
ments offered by Mr.. Corliss, of Michi-
gan. restricting the distribution of free
seeds and free vaccine. Mr.. Corliss
maintained that the Government distribu-
tions invaded the field of private enter
prises. His various amendments failed,
however, after extended debate. An
amendment by Mr.. Latimer Is. CO., was
adopted, increasing the supply of farm
ers bulletins" issued by the Agricultural
Department and distributed by members
of Congress-
At the opening of the session Mr.. Payne
On ", chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee reported back the Porto
Rican Tariff Bill from that Committee
with recommendation that the Senate
amendments be concurred in. 1t was or
deyed printed and placed on the calendar.

ers tVt.) called up the bill to create a
commission to make settlement with
the Sioux City and Pacific railroad Of it's
indebtedness to the United States, which
was considered. but not disposed of sew
eral weeks ago.

ment providing that the settlement reach
ed by the Commission should be referred

The House then resumed the consid-
Grafton of the. Agricultural Appropriation
Bill, the pending amendment being to
increase the appropriation for farmers
bulletins from $4,000 to $1O5, 900.
The Latimer amendment was resisted
by the Agricultural Committee and a
lively debate ensued, but the amendment
was agreed to-S1 to 80.
Mr.. Corliss (Mieh.), offered an amend
ment to the provision for the free distri-
button of seeds, providing that dinner
pals for the laboring people" be inelud
ed in this distribution. He said this was
done in good faith, as there was as much
reason to give dinner pals to one class
as to give seeds to another class. He
asserted also that the seed trust disposed
OF large quantities of worthless seeds
to the Government
This was finally lost.
Mr.. Corliss offered an amendment de-
signed to prevent the free distribution
of vaccine for the cattle disease known
as "black Leg He said this placed the
Government in competition with private
enterprises
After debate the amendment was de-
feated.
