WHAT CONGRESS IS DOING.
What is Being Done Day by Day By
the National House and Senate.
Alcohol Bin Passed.

After considerable debate the SEN
ate passed the bill relieving dena-
tured alcohol from the internal reve-
nue. tax and then took up the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, which was
still under consideration when the
Senate adjourned. The disposition
of the alcohol Ell turned largely upon
the effect of the legislation on the
manufacture of wood alcohol, which
Senator AIdrieh asserted would be
geratly injured.
There was also considerable dis
cussion of the amendment sutnorlz
ing the purchase of samples of al
serums and antl-toxins for the cure
of animals, and it was denounced by
Mr.. Hale as another step In the df-
rection of poterua1ism which he de
precated In strong language Sena-
tor McCumber supported PROVISION
as In the interest of protection of the
public against poisonous and other
wise dangerous decoetions.. The
amendment was agreed to-
In connection with the provision
making an appropriation fsto origf
nate crops by selection, etc." Senator
Hale said this was an effort to i'm
prove ON nature, and he congratu-
lated Senator Proctor, In charge of
the bill on getting tfnearer the line
or absolute control by. the Federal
government than any one else had ever
gotten before.v
The Senate passed the se-ealled free
alcohol bill as it was reported from
the committee on finance. The bill
already has passed the House and
the amendments which the Senate has
adopted do not materially change It's
scope. It.does not go into effect until

Mr.. Williams Takes a Hand.

Mr.. Williams of Mississippi, the
minority leader, In answer to MI. Lam
dis, spoke of the conditions leading
up to the appearance Of General
Coxey's army on the grass about the
capitol. He stated that he had walk
ed through Coxey's army while it was
encamped on the grass in front of the
senate entrance to the capitol and at
that time the Wilson-Gorman bill was
under discussion in the Senate. He
insisted that the government was still
operating under the Mckinley bill at
that time, and that revenues were
being collected under that Republican
measure.
Nh. Williams said he was encourag-
ed in the fight the Democrats were
making in favor of tariff reform be-
cause of. the number of Republican
leaders who were dashing to the relief
of the protective tariff. He said the
sledge hammer debater, MI. Hepburn,
of Iowa, the chaste and brilliant
Boutell, and even the humorist of the
Republican side, Mr.. Cushman Wash
ington), had all been command
ed to support the protective
theory and he inferred from this
that the attacks were having effect.
1t was Dir. Williams solemn be-
lief that the worst thing about the
protective tariff. was that it brides
and corrupts the friends of good gov
eminent. He said the Republicans
would come into the Democratic par
ty and say to the friend of free trade,
eve will protect you against frost
we will protect you against hail, and
so the Democrats yielded and ever

Preparing for the Campaign.

The issues destined to be uppermOSt
between the two great parties during
the coming campaign r already be
ing joined, if the speeches now being
made In the house of representatives
are a sage index. Several weeks ago
Mr.. Rainey of Illinois made a careful
iy prepared speech ON the watch trust,
asserting that the watch manufae-
turers of the United States had one
price for watches at home and a les
ser price for watches abroad. Thurs
day In the house Mr.. Charles B. Ian
dis of Indiana, IN a sense, answered
Mr.. Rainey, frankly admitting that
American manufacturers had one
price 1t home and another abroad, and
ne defended the practice as In accord
with good business methods, insist
ing that all countries sold their wares
for less prices abroad than at home.
Mr.. Lands also paid some attention
to a speech made by Mr.. Bonrke Cock
ran IN. W, wherein the latter de-
nounced the policy of protection as
one of public plumber, the fountain
source of all conception and the cause
of total Generalization of the Ameri-
can republic. This Mr.. Lands de-
MED. He said hat every poor but
ambitious immigrant. who landed here
during the last ten years would re-
flute that allegation. Referring to
Mr.. Cockran's speech, he said:
"This is the best country on eart-l,
and not the worst country on earth.
And if [ thought about it as the geL-
tleman from New York, I would re-
sign my seat in this house, sell out
my belongings and move to some other
country nearer In harmony with my
