WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.--The house to-
day passed the fortihcatlons appropriations

for the protection of the president, spent
three hours wrangling over the Fowler cur
rency bill.
Afr half a dozen roll calls the house
finally got into committee OF the whole to
consider the bill, but 1t then being 5
o'clock, on motion OF Mr.. Fowler the house
adjourned.
The speaker laid before the house the
invitation of the st. Louis exposition com
mittee and the exposition company for con-
gress TO be present at the dedicstory, exer-
cises from April 90 to May O.. .,-
Mr.. Tawney, Mimi offered a Joint reso-
luton, which was adopted, accepting the
invitation on behalf Of congress and pro-
vlding for the appointment Of a committee
Of seven, senator's and eleven representa-
tives to represent the two houses.
A resolution was adopted to print. 10000
copies OF the memorial address on the late
President Mckinley delivered in the house
a year ago by Secretary Hay, 10000 for the
use of the house and 5000 for the senate.

tion of the president, which was adopted
without division. 49,.
The consideration Of the currency bill

to the Notifications appropriation bill,
Mr.. Hemenway (Ind), in charge of the
bill, explained that II carried s. 1920, 900.

Efforts to amend the bill proved futile
and it was passed as reported. Mr.. Hemen-
way then. called up the conference report
upon the legislative bill, which was also
adopted without debate.
Mr.. Fowler IN. j. then moved that the
house go into committee of the whole to
consider the currency. bill. Mr.. Padgett

of war claims, apd as this was Friday, Mr..
Dalzell, who was In the chair, ruled that
the latter motion took precedence, Mr.
Padgetths motion was voted down, 81 to 121.
Mr.. Bartlett (Ga.( attempted to raise the
question or consideration against the Fow-
Ter bill, declaring that II would be a waste
of time to consider a measure which 1t was
not intended should become law, but the
chair held that the, question was virtually
raised by the motion to go into committee
of the whole. Accordingly. the vote was
taken on the latter motion.
When the vote was announced 11S to- SO,
Mr.. Hay Wa,l- moved to adjourn. The
chair held that this motion was not In or
der, whereupon Mr.. Hay appealed from the
decision of, the chair. The democrats
forced another roll call, but the chair was
sustained, ITO 70 70, whereupon. the house
went into committee of the whoIo to con-

the action OF the committee was reported
In The Bee this morning and the point
brought out that these two Douglas county
men, citizens Of Omaha, had voted with
the committee TO adopt this amendment,
which was in direct conflict With the So
called tax commissioner bill, and doubtless
introduced for no other purpose than head
ing of this method Of taxation, for which
Omaha is so strenuously fighting. The gen
