CONGRESSIONAL NEWS

Washington, Feb. 1.-The senate
passed so or &c miscellaneous bills
and gave several hours to consider
alton of the shipping bill Among
the bills passed was one providing for
a delegate in congress from Alaska
and a number providing for light
houses, revenue cutters and fish Gull
tural stations. The greater part of
the time devoted to the shipping bill
was consumed by Senator Penrose il
support of the measure.
The house called for an estimate of
the cotton yet to be ginned, which the
director of the census has compiled,
but which he had no authority to
make public until March. This ac.
ton precipitated lively discussion in
which petulance was expressed that
the house should participate in fur
nishing information for the benefit of
spectators. On the other hand,
there were numerous members who
stated that the substantial int rests
of the grower spinner and merchant
made 1t imperative that such informa-
ton should not be allowed to be bot
tied up.
feature of the debate on the
state bill was a lengthy speech by
Mr.. Sibley of Pennsylvania, who ar
raigHed the legislation with argu-
ments of varied character. When
he charged that the legislation was
socialistic and was Il srep ,owarcs
government ownership ana the dream
of Bryan and Hearst, Mr.. James of
