minutes the senate yesterday voted away
$40 900. 900 Of the public funds. The sum
is carried by the pension appropriation
bill. which. being a brief document. was
made the subject OF little discussion.
The railroad rate bill was laid aside for
the day, and the most OF the time was
devoted to the consideration of the forti-
fcations appropriation bill In that con-
nection the question OF the necessity for
seacoast fortifcations in those possessions
were eliminated from the bill. The con-
sideration Of the measure was not fin
ished.
There also was a brief discussion Of
the power Of a conference committee to
so amend the bill providing for the pun
ishmcnt OF the premature divulgence OF
government secrets as TO make the in
hibition extend TO senators and members
Of the house OF representatives. but the
subject was left unlisposed OF for the
