A Lot of Discussion.

tion of the urgent deficiecy apprOpria-
tion bill But little progress was
made in consideration of the bill.
which will be the continuing topic
for Monday.
The portrait of ex-Attorney Genera!
Knox for which the Department of
Justice has asked $2,615 was again
the topic Of comment. The most ami
| mated discussion of the day took
place on an amendment by Mr.. keifer
Ohio, to increase the amount for the
transportation Of silver coin.
Mr. Smith Uowa) declared that the
practice Of transporting silver coin
from and to sub-treasuries was graft
pure and simple and in the interest
of express companies.
Mr.. Hill Conn said it was Gun
adulterated graft Every Secretary
of the Treasury from Carlyle down, he
said had disapproved of the practice.
He said he could give a specific in
stance where an express company was
paid by the government $4,000 for
transporting It's own money from San
Fransisco to New York.
Mr.. Williams Miss) stated that of
the movement of silver was stopped
or restricted it would work hardship
in agricultural districts. The amend,
ment was lost.
Want License Record.
Mr.. Humphreys Miss discussed a
measure he has pending to make the
government records of Federal liquor
BILE as evidence. In prohibition and
local option sections of the country,
he said, the present practice of with
holding this information really placed
the Federal government III the posi-
ton of aiding the violators of local
laws. Persons operating "blind IL
gers,' said Mr.. Humphreys, obtain
Federal license and thus avoid pursuit
by government agents, but the govern
ment records were withheld by the
rules of the Internal Revenue Bureau
from being available by State officials
in making prosecutions. The rule of
the Internal Revenue Bureau, he said,
contravened the well-established rules
of evidence of our Jurisprudence.
Stating that there had been con-
siderable criticism of Southern cotton
planters i'll their efforts to decrease
their cotton acreage Mr.. Sims (Tenn. }

ment crop reporter on the subject.

preparation of $1,340,000 for govern
mental buildings and exhibits. The

pieces, the exposition to pay for thu

position expects to realize profit O.
about $SO0,O00 on the difference be

resentative Maynard believes ther
will be great demand for So silve
