The House Friday passed the agri-
cultural appropriation bill without ma
terial amendment. The usual discus
sion of the provision for free seed dis
tribution was INDUCED in, Mr.. Lilly of
Connecticut characterizing it as petty
larceny. The relative value of the cot
ton statistics as supplied by the census
bureau and Agricultural Department also
furnished the theme for lively debate.
The army appropriation bill was sent
back to committee after Mr.. Williams of
Mississippi had objected to unanimous
consent to concur in the Senate amend
ments and send the bill to conference,
and after Mr.. Hull had refused to make
a motion to accept the Senate amend
ment regarding retired army officers as
signed to active duty. Through his coun-
sci, consisting of former United States
Senators Anthony Higgins and John NJ
Thurston, Judge Swayne appeared in the
Senate to make answer to the summons
in connection with the impeachment pro-
ceedings against him as judge Of the
United States for the Northern district
of Florida They obtained Il weeks time
to make complete response. and the time
for the beginning of the trial was fixed
at Feb. 10. The discussion of the state
hood bin then was resumed, and Messrs.
Gallinger, Bailey and Stewart spoke on
the Gallinger prohibition amendment con-
corning the sale of liquor in the Indian
territory.
