length on what he termed the unrel1-

the Colombian government and assert
ed that a S10,O00,O00 cash payment to
Colombia was exorbitant. He declared
a recent chief executive of Colombia

to an agreement with such an unre-
liable institution as the Colombian
congress. Senator Cullom explained
a number of the provisions of the
treaty which Senator Morgan had
criticised and defended the course of
the administration. Adjournment was
suggested, but Senator Quay declared

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE house
today passed the sundry civil bill,
which has been in consideration since
Tuesday, and then broke all previous
records in the matter of private pen
sion legislation. It was the last OF
pOrtunity of passing pension bills at
this session and the calendar was
cleared, not only Of house. but Of sen
ate bills. 325 in all being passeG.
Three hundred twelve is the highest
previous record, made in the fifty
first congress. Among them was a
bill to grant a pension Of $500 a
month to the widow of the late Rep
resentative RUMBLE Of Iowa, who
died within two weeks. The omnibus
public building bill, carrying approx
mateIy $6,000000 was introduced by
Mr. Mercer Of Nebraska, chairman OF
the house committee on public build
ings and grounds. This is the bill
upon which the subcommittee has
Teen working for the last few days
and will be reported from the full
committee this week. Representative
Dick of Ohio introduced a bill prOvid-
ing that the superintendent of the ma
val academy shall make such rules,
subject to the approval of the secre-
tary Of the navy, as will etfectually
prevent hazing at the academy. The
senate listened to the reading Of the
Indian appropriation bill and spent
some time in it's consideration. The
greater part of the remainder of the
day was given over to eulOg1es OF
late members of the house represen-
tatives, including Charles @. Russell
of Connecticut, Joshua S. Salmon of
New Jersey, Amos J. Cummings of
New York and r. 0. Crump of Michf-
gan. During the day Senator AID
rich sought to secure consideration
of the national bank securities bill
and Senator Lodge Of the house bill

bills he would not yield another day
to the canal treaty. Senator Morgan
gave notice of 80 proposed amend
ments to the treaty. The house
made SLOW progress with the sundry
civil bill, covering only q pages and
leaving 40 pages still to be disposed
Of. Parleys were occasioned by the
rather protracted discussion of the
item in the bill for the maintenance
of the white house and considerable
debate upon appropriating 100000
for the relief of distress in the Phil
ippines. The amendment to cut in
half the appropriation for the relief
of distress in the Philippines was de-
feated
Washington, Feb. 13.-Under the
operation of a special order which cut
off the opportunity to offer amend
ments, the house after a debate of an
hour today by a vote of 241 to G
passed the Elkins bill to prohibit re,
bates to shippers. The six members
who voted against the bill were dem.
ocrats. Mr.. Littlefeld of Maine was
present but did not vote on either the
rule or the bill. The democrats pro
tested against the rigorous terms OF
the rule The remainder Of the ses
sion was devoted to the sundry civil
appropriation bill, which was practi
cally completed, but no effort was
made to pass it, as there was nc
quorum present The house adopted
an amendment to the bill apprOpriat
ing $4,000 for additional land for a
site of the government sanitarium fol
disabled volunteer soldiers at Hot
Springs, S. d. An immense crowd
was attracted to the senate to heal
the invocation of Gen. William Booth
! founder and cOmmander-in-chief Of the
salvation army. Among the occu
pants of the galleries were Booth
| Tucker, general chief assistant and
son-in-law, and a large number of sal
vatiOnists. When the statehood bill
came up Senator Depew resumed his
remarks. He attacked the Mormon
church, because, he said he believed
that its members still cling to the
practice Of polygamy. Senator Rawlins
replied, saying that if the Mormons
were not inteTfered with they would
work out their own destiny:
