CFrom a Stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The house tonight passed the
omnibus public building bill as reported
to II by the committee on public buildings.
The bill passed by the house differs chiefly
from the bill passed by the senate Monday
In that It provides appropriations for the
purchase Of sites for public buildings in
various cities OF the Ulited States. The
bill will now go to conference and the prob
abilities are that the conferees will agree
upon every increase made by the house.
The house bill appropriates $4,000 for
sites at York and Grand Island, Neb. Tho
paragraph regarding the sale Of property
at Lincoln and future operations there
remains unchanged.
Webster City and Mason City. Ia, are
each given 5000 for sites for public
buildings.
The house today passed the bill amend
ing the existing law regarding the inn
portation Of breeding animals. ThS bill
| provides that any animal imported spe-
cially for breeding purposes shall be ad-
mitted free whether intended to be so used
by the importer himself or for sale for such
purpose. No such animal, however, is to
be admitted free unless Dure-b-ed and duly
registered In books of record established
for that breed.
Senator Aldrich. from the committee on
finance, today made favorable report on

The Rosebud treat bill. amended to meet
the objections of Representative Cannon
and others OF the house. passed the senate
late Friday evening. having been called
up by Senator Gamble. Its passage through
the house, however, in its amended form
is hardly looked for, In view Of the ugly
temper prevailing among the democrats,
who had served notice that they will de-
mand a roll call on every bill until the
speakers gavel adjOurns the Fifty-seventh
congress without day.
Representative Burke OF South Dakota
who has the bill in charge IN the house
said today he would not abandon hope until
the gavel fell. but his manner was that
Of a man whose cause was dead. The re.
publican leaders despair OF passing any
general legislation at this late day, II
view OF the determination to block all leg
i~slation by continued roll calls. Beyont
money bills, little Of a public character Il
expected TO get through congress during
the few remaining hours Of the presen
session. unless the temper Of the democrats
should change over Sunday.
Tonight things are chaotic at both end
OF the capitol and an extra session Of tn,
senate seems we'll night impossible.
