PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS
WHAT IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS WEEK
The Senate Spends the Week on Philippine
Government Bill More Naval Appropria-
tions-M aclay's Spanish-American War His
tory Excluded from Naval Academy and
Ships Libraries House Passes Naval Bill.

]
The Senate discussed the Philippine
bill Friday, and the House had an
other lively day, Philippine atrocities
and the Schley case coming in for con-
siderable attention, the latter in CON
nection with the naval appropriation
bill, which was also under considera-
tion Saturday. An amendment, appro-
priating S75, 600 to continue construc-
ton of naval supplies storehouse at
League Island navy yard was agreed
to, and the appropriation for buildings
at the naval academy was increased
from 100000 to $500, 900. After con-
siderable discussion, pro and con, dur
ing which two or three persons came
in for sneering and belittling mention,
an amendment was adopted providing
that none of the money appropriated
should be used in the purchase of any
history of the Spanish American war
written by Edgar Stanton Maclay for
use at the naval academy, in ships Ii
braries or in any other part of the
naval establishment of the United
States.'
The House Tuesday passed unani-
nous resolution, facilitating Cuba on
her independence.
Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa paid beautir
full tribute to the late President Nc
kinley and his Philippine policy in an
address in the Senate Monday on the
Philippine government bill. He said
that President Mckinley had put the
seal of his approval on the holding of
the Philippines by the United States
in trust for their inhabitants and the
action was pregnant with greatness
and humanity and held nothing of
greed or covetousness, and declared
that Congress is more likely to cede
back the valley of the Mississippi to
the lawful heirs of Napoleon the Great
than to leave the Philippine archipela
go to become the prey of anarchy or
the prize of some European power -
The House passed the naval appropria-
tion bill, after agreeing to an amend
ment providing that three of the ships
shall be built in government yards. A
bill for s hours work on all govern
ment contracts was passed, also one
authorizing the construction of ma
tional sanitarium for disabled soldiers
at Hot Springs. s. ID.

Appropriation bills carrying 500,
600, 900 have already passed the House,
additions of S225, 600, 900 TO which were
made by the Senate, and big appropria-
tions are yet on the tapis. Republican
leaders are apprehensive over the pos
sibility of billion dollar session, "
so disastrous from a party standpoint.

thraclte miners struggle. This plan,
if carried into successful operation,
would practically tie up the industries
of the country, paralyze business and
inconvenience the people throughout
the United States, directly affecting
449, 600 men.
The United States government Tues
day made motion in the United States
circuit court for a temporary restrain
ing order against the 'big SIX pack
ers of the beef trust, lines of prosecu-
tion and defense having been laid out.
The court will issue it, but will draft
new form. At Chicago Friday the
price of beef was again advanced by
the packers combine, and was higher
than it had ever been for 30 years.
That this was an arbitrary decree of
the trust was shown by the usual sup
ply of cattle at the stockyards. The |
New York inquiry into trust matters /
has been blocked by the disappearance /
of several important witnesses.
Many food riots occurred in New /
York last week as the result of the high /
price of meat. East Side Hebrew
have organized for war against
the beef trust and not only pledged
themselves to abstain from meat, but
to boycott butchers who sell at present
high prices. The riots were directly I
caused by certain Kosher butcher shops
whose proprietors persisted in selling
neat. Police lines were put out and
.lubs were used freely. Women and
children entered tenement houses
where people were eating their sup
1ers and threw out of the windows
Ill the meat they could lay their hands
IN. Several shops were wrecked and
he meats thrown into the streets. The
organization now plans to induce East
side women not to buy meat by arguing
