SENATE.

AT the instance of Senator Perrose the
Senate today adopted resolution directing
the Secretary OF the Interior to report why
he had withheld payment to the Kickayoo
Indians residing in Mexico of the funds re-
ceved by him for the Indians as the pro-
ceeds of the leases upon their individual
lands in Oklahoma. Also other information
and correspondence relating to the Kick
apoo lands.
Immediately after the routine morning
business had been disposed of the subsidy
shipping bill was laid before the Senate
and its consideration resumed, with the un-
derstanding that II would be voted on be-
fore adjournment
Mr.. Gallinger offered a number of amend
ments behalf of the merchant marine
commission. One of them limits the num-
ber of officers and men in the proposed
naval reserve to lp,000.
Mr.. Gallinger referred to the letter read
yesterday from Mr.. Mosle of Galveston,
saying HE advocates free ships free crews
and free trade, and yet he has the audac-
ity to write a letter of advice to the SEN
ate bill which contenplates neither
purpose"
the representative of foreign ship line,
section of the country
Mr.. Culberson said that Mr. Mosle's let
ter had not been written for publicat ton
and he thought that the senator from New
Hampshire would better answer the argu-
meuts of the letter than to characterize
the writing of the letter an act OF au-
dacity.
Mr. GaiIlnger withdrew the offensive
word.

REco1NAeE OF SILVER DOLLARS
Into Subsidiary Coins Recommended
by House COMMITTEES.

The House committee on coinage, weights
and measures. in a report to the House,
heartily recommends the passage of the
bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treas
ury to cause the recoinage of silver dollars
into subsidiary coin. The committee says
in its report that there is a demand grow
ing every year with the increase in popula-
ton and business. There Is no bullion in
the treasury out of which to make this
money and no provision exists by winch
silver dollars, which by natural wear nave
become unfit for circulation, may be re-
coined There are many such now In the
treasury. If recoined into silver dollars
there would be considerable loss. They
may be recoined into subsidiary silver with
out loss.
"The small contraction in the circulation
of dollars would be offset by the increase or
subsidiary coin and a result the total
of money in circulation would be un-
changed In order to increase the amount
of subsidiary coin the Secretary must buy
more silver or recoin some of that we al
ready have
A minority report suggests that instead of
reeoining silver dollars the Secretary of the
Treasury be authorized to purchase silver
bullion for recoinage purposes.

Attorney Easby-Smith then addressed the
court. remarlxing that Mr.. Adriaans well
understood the general opinion that the
court was the best Judge OF the qualifica-
tfons OF the members of It's own bar. but
said that as the United States Supreme
Court had decided that such proceedings
partake of the nature Of punishment he de-
sired to note an appeal from the order OF

An order of disbarment was also entered
today by the District Supreme Court against

Arthur s. Colyar, another member of the
bar against whom charges were preferred
by the grievance committee of the local
bar. was today suspended from practice
before the District Supreme Court until

taken In view OF the fact that no personal

Against so-called Sabbath Protection.

A big petition, bearing over 5000 sigma
lures and protesting against the passage
of the bill for the further protection of the
Sabbath in the District of Columbia, was
presented to the District committee of the
House today by representatives of the re-
iigious liberty bureau of this city, The
petition protests against the passage of the
measure in question on the ground that II
would be inimical to one OF the fnndamen tai
principles OF the national government. that
of religious liberty, and also that IL would
prove a precedent for further legislation
along similar lines that might tend TO re-
ligfous fnteolerance and persecution. Among
the signers OF the petition are citizens OF

PRONOUNCED WHOLLY FALSE.
Reported Sale of IN Invitation to the
White House Wedding.

Secretary Loeb today declared that
there Is not one word of truth In the
published story that one Of the invita-
tions to the Longworth- Roosevelt we'd
ding has been sold for $4oo and that an
investigation is being made by the White
House. 1t is asserted that such a salo
would be practically impossible. as the
Invitations have gone to persons above
such a thing. The discovery of an act OF
this kind would mean social ostracism,
and there is not the faintest idea that
such thing has even been thought of.
There have been a number Of stories con-
nected with the matter. one Of them be-
ing that one invitation had been stolen
from the mails and the card or admission
obtained that way.
White House officials expect crop of
reports of all kinds, most of them with
out any sort of foundation.

FIRE ON TEXAN AT HONOLULU.
Tons of Water Pumped Into Hold
Cargo Surrendered.

HONOLULU, February 1i.-At 10 o'clock
last night the steamer Texan was lying at
her wharf with clouds of steam and smoke
issuing from the after-hatch and tons Of
water We're being pumped into her. The
entire cargo has been surrendered to the
underwriters. Water from between decks,
running into the hold. was being pumped
out, but It is probable that considerable
damage has been done to the cargo. Capt.
Lyons said there was absolutely no danger
OF the vessel being burned. A continuation
of pumping VIII probably result by tomor-
row in the stacking of all the lime on board.
and then il viii be possible to discharge
the cargo.
Steam was being forced into the COM
partmeuts containing the fire by heavy
pressure. and il was expected that this
would save the hull and beams from dam
age by heat. The smoke pouring out of
the hatch had strong odor of burning
lumber. This may have come from the
barrels con tanning the lime.
