Washington, May 25.-The senate
passed the agricultural appropriation
bill, carrying 1900, 900, and without a
word of debate or objection from any
source added to it as an amendment
the bill providing for inspection of
fresh meats intended for domestic
consumption the packers to pay the
cost. The greater part of the time
spent on the agricultural bill was de-
voted to discussion of the provision
for government inspection of grain.
Senator McCumber made an effort to
have the measures so amended as to
require the issuance of certificates Of
such inspection, but failed.
The house was turbulent during
the consideration of a rule sending
the rate bill to conference, the fear
of many members being that the rule,
which disagreed to the senate amend
ments en- bloc, might have an in
fluence on the conferees and give
them opportunity, If they so desired,
to vote out the. express company, pipe
line and sleeping car amendments.
With the assurance that the wishes
of the house would be considered on
all amendments, the rule was
adopted. The need of service pen
sion bill was called to the attention
of the house by Mr.. Campbell of
Kansas, who said that If some service
pension bill were adopted the semi
monthly occurrence of pension cay"
would be thing of the past. He
urged the passage of his bill, giving
all persons who served 80 days or
more in the military or naval service
of the United States and who had
been honorably discharged and who
made application and proof of ident-
ity, pension of $12 per month. His
bill also amends the act of June u,
1880, by making the minimum pension
under that act $12 and the maximum
$40. He further provides a pension
of $50 per month for all persons who
served so days in the civil war and
who are now suffering from blindness,
paralysis, rheumatism or accident,
resulting in the loss Or Gripping of
limbs rendering any such person
helpless to care for himself.

| Washington, May 22.--The senate
devoted the greater part of the day
to consideration of the immigration
bill. The senate also adopted a
resolution directing the committee or
privileges and elections to consider
the course to be pursued in the case
of Burton. The agricultural appropri-
alton bill was reported to the senate.
1t carries s7,715,000, an increase OF
Szz3,560 over the house bill. The
items of increase include $1,000 for
the bureau Of animal industry, $751;
$40 for the bureau of plant industry,
$32,400 for experiment stations, $751;
900 additional for public roads, and
$4,000 additional to exterminate the
gypsy moth. Regarding free seeds
the report says: "a decided majority
of the committee expressed them
selves informally as opposed to the
distributing of common seeds as
authorized by law for many years,
but deemed it advisable at this SEES
sion to recommend change, believ-
ing that such could not now secure
the desired result, but trust that at
the next session liberal appropria-
ton for the distribution of rare and
valuable seeds may take the place
of the present very Objectionable
system.
For an hour or more the house
could not decide whether to go into
committee of the whole on the diplo-
matte and consular bill, or follow the
lead of Mr.. Gardner of Massachusetts,
and take up consideration of the i'm
migration bill. Speeches were made
on various subjects, the speakers
including Messrs. Jenkins. Wiscon-
sin, on the rate bill; Randall of
Texas, who arraigned the "horse ma
chine;" Bannon of Ohio, who urged
the retention of the tariff on raw
hides; Goulden of New York, who op-
posed the ship subsidy bill, and
Maynard of Virginia, who favored an
appropriation for the jamestown ex-
position. The so-called republican
machine was the subject of scathing
denunciation at the hands of Mr.
Randall of Texas, who said the lead
ers of the house who constitute and
run the machine" had done abso-
lutely nothing except make hypocriti-
cal pretenses as to some things and
to unblushingly advocate the "stand
pat doctrine in other things.

Washington, May 23.-The senate
devoted the session to the immigra-
ton bill, which was passed. The
bill consists of a series of amend
ments TO the existing law, ali of them
intended to permit stricter regula-
tons for keeping out defective
classes of aliens. The head tax is
increased from 50 to So.
Issues destined to be uppermost be-
tween the two great parties during
the coming campaign are already be-
ing joined if speeches now being
made in the house are safe indica-
ton. Several weeks ago Mr.. Rainey
of Illinois made a carefully prepared
speech on the watch trust, asserting
that the watch manufacturers of the
United States had one price for
watches at home and a lesser price
abroad.
| Today in the house Mr.. Lands OF

Rainey, frankly admitting that Ameri

c. G. A. TRIAL FOR FREIGHT

Chicago, Oct. 30.-President Samuel

R. R., was the first witness called to-
day in the hearing of the case of l..
H. Handbook and Sons, of Springfield,
Ills, against the C. & A. for alleged
discrimination in freight rates. 1t is
alleged by the plaintiff that the rail
o company charged as much for
hauling certain classes of freight
from East st. Louis to Springfield as
it did for hauling the same class of
freight from ST. Louis to Peoria. The
suit is one of 320 similar actions
brought against the railroad.
President FELTON, testified that he
knew nothing of freight rates, and
