In the Honse.

Washington, Jan. 81. - The anti
polygamy crusade which resulted in
driving afr. Roberts out of the house
of representatives at the last session
had an echo in the house yesterday
during the consideration of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill. When the
section making the appropriations for
agricultural colleges OF the several
states was reached Mr.. Lands of In
diana offered an amendment providing
that no o SHOULD be paid to the
college in Utah until the secretary OF
agriculture was satisfied that no trus-
tee or teacher in the institution prac-
ticed polygamy. The amendment came
as a complete surprise. Mr.. King, VINO
succeeded MIR. Roberts. tried In vain TO
head it eff with a point of order n
then inveighed against 1t as simply an
aftermath of the Roberts crusade. lie
insisted that polygamy was a thing OF
the mast. Mr.. Lands replied by AL
Ieginr hat two Of the professors or
the Utah agricultural college were
polysamists, and that one OF the trus-
tees had seven wives and thlrty-seVeh
children. Upon this showing the
house adopted the amendment, where
upon Mr.. King retaliated by Offering
an amendment providing that none or
the money should go to agricultural
colleges in any state whose
or trustees have engaged in lynchins
or been guilty of adultery or fornica'
ton. He afterward modified 1t so as
to apply only to h agricultural col
le.e Of Indiana. Subsequently when
the bill was reported to the house the
Lands amendment was stricken out
by a vote Of 50 to 10. The friends OF
the farmer were very much in evil
dence during the day and against an
aggressive opposition led by Mr.. Ma
hon of Pennsylvania voted into the bill
an additional appropriation OF $5o.ooo
for farmers bulletins" There was
also considerable discussion Of the ir-
rigation of the arid lands In connec-
ton with the paragraph providing for
an investigation of that subject. The
bill was passed.

The ship subsidy bill was kept to

progress was made, most Of the time

speeches opposing the bill n severe

Mr.. Jones declared 1t should be en-
titled "A bill to permit a select coterie
of ship owners to loot h United

Washington. Feb. .. The shipping
bill was kept steadily at the front in
the senate yesterday. and in order to
further expedite its progress a motion
was agreed to for a session beginning
at II q. m. to-day. Senators Rawlins
of Utah and Berry Of Arkansas ocCu-
pied most OF the time yesterday in
speeches Of vigorous opposition. To-
ward the close of the day a spirited
discussion a precipitated by an
amendment offered by Mr.. Clay of
Georgia, proposing to link the Mic
aragua canal bill with the shipping
bill. The proposition was strongly OPP
posed by Mr.. Frye and Mr.. Chandler,
as calculated TO embarTass and delay
the shipping bill. Mr.. Frye appealed
to senators to permit the majority, af-
ter fair debate, to assume its respon-
sibilities, as a majority, of passing the
shipping bill. Messrs. Jones of Ar
kansas and Teller Of Colorado took a
hand in the discussion, insisting that
there should be no limitation of debate.

the Nicaragua canal bill, expressed dis.
approval of the plan for linking the
