would seek to have the Senate sit regularly
at night TO consider the measure. The
postponement until Wednesday is due 10
the absence from the city of some OF the
friends of the bill and 10 the fact that
others have social engagements for to-
night and Tuesday night. The present
plan is TO have the Senate take a recess
each evening at 6 o'clock until and then
TO sit until IL o'clock. the night sessions
to be devoted TO the shipping bill. Asked

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Two Important Bills Passed and the
Postofice Bill Considered.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-The House to-
day passed the Senate bill to create COM
mission to adjudicate the claims of United
States citizens against Spain. which the
government of the United States assumed
by the treaty of Paris. after having amend
ed the bill as to refer the claims to the
court Of claims instead of TO a commits
sion. A strong effort was made TO vote
Gown the amendment and pass the Senate
bill, but the advocates of this course were
defeated by majority of 35. A bill was.
without debate. passed TO extend the char
ters of national banks for another period
of twenty years after 1902, when the pres
ent extension expires. Bills to ratify the
agreement with the Crow Indians of Mon
tana and to provide for the redemption OF
Hawaiian coin at par were defeated.
About an hour was spent on the postof-
flee appropriation bill in the discussion of
the amendment to reduce the railway mail
pay, but no action was taken.

Right OF the Senate to Demand
Departmental Papers.
BILLS PASSED BY THE HOUSE
MEASURE TO EXTEND CHARTERS OF
NATIONAL BANKS AFTER 1902.
Senate Bill to Create a Commission
to Adjudfcate Claims Against
Spain Radically Amended.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-Two things
seem certain to-day, first that the shipping
bill will not pass at this session of Con-
g1ess, and, secondly, that there will be
an extra session of Congress next spring.
These things appear to be as sure as any
thing In the future can be. During the
early days of last week it looked
though the opposition to the shipping bill
I'm the Senate had grown weary of the con-
test and abandoned it; that they would let
the Republicans enact the subsidy legis-
lation if they so desired and take the re-
sponsibility therefor with the people. Sud-
denly last Friday, following visit to the
Capitol by former Senator German, there
was radical change in the tactics of the
opponents OF the bill. They began to pro-
pose all sorts of amendments that would
afford them infinite opportunities for end
less debate. They offered the Nicaraguan
canal bill, the proposed measure to
strengthen the Interstate-commerce Com
mission. the House antitrust bin, ana in
fact pretty much everything in printed
form they could quickly lay their hands
on. This course on the part of the Demo-
cratic and Populistic opponents of the
measure encouraged the Republican sena-
tors who, If not hostile, are at least in
different to the bill, and they began
to exhibit signs Of beginning a fight on
their own account. This took form when
Senator Allison last Saturday gave notice
that he would to-day call up the District
Of Columbia appropriation bill. This was
very bad for the prospects OF the subsidy
bill. but when Senator Spooner to-day gave
notice that he intended to antagonize the
shipping bill with the Jleomargarine meas
ure that passed the House some time ago.
the outlook for the former became yet
moro gloomy. There is no reason to doubt
the success Of Senator Spooner's attempt
to force the oleomargarine bill ahead of
the shipping bill whenever he sees fit to
make the trial. There is one argument he
uses that will have much weight with the
senators-that the oleomargarine bill. hav-
ing passed the House, needs only to pass
the Senate and receive the signature of the
President to be law, while, in the case Of
the shipping bill, there is grave doubt as
to its fate in the House. Considering one
thing with another. as Bunthorne says,
there appears to be no doubt of the two
propositions with which this dispatch be-
gins-that the shipping bill will not pass
at this session, and that there will be an
extra session.

TEMPORARILY sHELvED.
Senate Did Not Take Up the Shipping
Bill Yesterday.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The ship SUBJ
sidy bill was laid aside informally by the
Senate to-day to permit consideration Of
the appropriation bills. This action was
taken late in the day on Mr.. Aiiison's re-
quest that the District of Columbia appro-
priation bill be taken UP. Mr.. Frye, in
charge of the shipping bill, who had said
he would not give way to appropriation
bills without a vote of the Senate, was
not in the chamber at the time, but Mr.
Aldrich, Mr.. Hanna and others Interested
in the measure were present and joined
in the general assent given to Mr.. Alli-
sons request. The shipping bill holds its
place and as the unfinished business can be
taken up when the appropriation bills are
not occupying attention The District of
Columbia bill will occupy the attention of
the Senate tomorrow.
The subsidy bill did not receive at
tention to-day, the greater part OF the
time of the Senate being given to listening
to a speech by Mr.. Bacon, of Georgia, on
the right of the Senate to demand informa-
tion on file In the executive departments.
He took the position that the departments
are the creatures of Congress and that the
departmental denial OF any demand for
papers on file was preposterous contending
that for 100 years there had been practically
no refusal to recognize this right
Secretary Longs letter regarding Sam
tiago naval rewards caused a discussion in
which senators upheld their course in this
matter. Mr.. Pettigrew said there had been
an effort to promote Sampson over SchIey
notwithstanding Schley had done the
fighting and had previously outranked
Sampson. He said the President afterwards
had corrected this injustice and that having
done this because of the attitude of the
Senate that body did not deserve the secre-
tary's criticism" Proceeding, Mr.. Petit
grew declared that the administration was
disposed TO promote men who have never
smelt powder. like Corbin and Shafter."
Mr.. Rawlins presented the certificate OF
election OF Thomas Kearns as senator
from Utah to I'LL the vacancy. Mr.. Kearns
was escorted 10 the presidents desk by
Mr.. Rawiins. and the oath of office admin
istered by President Pro TEN. Frye. Mr.
Kearns was assigned seat upon the
Democratic side of the chamber. where a
number OF other Republicans are located
His desk was ornamented with wreath
OF American Beauty roses.

EXPRESS CAR ROBBED.
Miscellaneous Freight Valued mt
About $4,000 stolen I'm Transit.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. A car of
the Adams Express Company. attached to
the train which left this city at midnight
Saturday for New York, was rified by rob-
bers en- route. A quantity of miscellane-
Gus freight was taken, valued at about
$1,000 The robbery was not discovered un-
til some time after the train had arrived
at Jersey City. Express Messenger Thorn
as Barber, OF Trenton, was in charge OF
the cars belonging to the Adams Express
Company, but his orders required him to
remain in a car which carried diamonds
and jewelry and consequently he was un-
aware of the presence of the robbers in tne
other car 1t is thought the robbers en-
tered with a duplicate key.
