Washington, April 26.--In the SEN
ate Mr.. Spooner spoke for three
hours on the railroad rate question.
| He addressed himself especially to
| Senator Bailey's amendment taking
from the inferior feoeraI courts the
right to enjoin against the execution
of orders of the interstate COM
merce commission, contending that
such an exercise of power would
be the first step toward the destruc-
ton of the power of the judiciary
and result in an undesirable blending
of coordinate branches OF the govern
ment. He also discussed at length
the distinction between jurisdiction"
and judicial power" The address
was technical and consisted largely
of quotations from legal decisions.
The bill appropriating 100000 for
the employment of extra labor at the
Mare island California; navyyard,
was passed.
The agricultural appropriation bill
again furnished theme for discus
sion in the house, although but few
references were made to the subject
matters of the BILL Under the lati-
tude of general debate the leaders of
the republican side began medicine
making" for the approaching con-
gressional campaign. Mr.. Hep
burn of Iowa predicted that tariff re-
vision and protection would furnish

Illinois referred to the watch trust"
speech of Mr.. Rainey of Illinois,
while Mr.. Sulzer of New York talked
on the American merchant marine
and Mr.. Marvin Sims OF Tennessee
spoke on free rural delivery boxes.
vania introduced a bill authorizing
the president to apply $1,000,00O of
the Chinese indemnity fund to the
purchase of ground for the erection
of buildings for consular offices in
China. Corea and Japan. Chairman
Fowler of the house committee on
banking aud currency made report
on the bill favorably acted on by his
committee several days ago, provid-
ing for the deposit of government
money in national banks without
security and on which the banks are
to pay two per cent interest. The
report contends that the present
system of locking up government
money in sub treasures is hurtful to
commerce and losing plan to the
government from the standpoint of
economy. In q years, 1t says, if
the proposed plan had been in opera
ton, the government would have re-
ceived from the banks $4,000 900 in
interest and would not have lost
dollar through failures.
Washington, April 27.-In conclud-
ing his two-days' speech on the rail
road rate bill Senator Spooner took
cognizance of the charge of mis-
quotation against himself. which he
said had been made in connection
with Senator Bailey's speech, though
not in the speech, and quoted at
length from his previous remarks to
show that the criticism had been
without foundation. There was more
discussion of the necessity for fixing
day for a vote on the rate bill and
Senator Tillman gave notice that
after Monday he would insist that
the senate proceed to vote if sena-
tors are not prepared to speak.
The tariff debate was further con-
tinued by Mr.. Williams of Mississippi,
minority leader in the house. For
two hours he stood the fire of the
republicans, holding the attention of
members throughout his presentation
of the democratic doctrine of tariff
for revenue only. The house passed
the emergency appropriation bill,
carrying $4,000 for the benefit of
the sufferers at San Francisco and
the employment of laborers at the
Mare island hayward.
