SUMMARY OF THE
 DAY IN CONGRESS
THE SENATE.

Washington, June N.--,rhe Senate today took a position in accord with the Presi- dent and the House of Representatives by declaring for a lock canal across the isthmus of Panama. The result was reached few minutes after o'clock, and after days discussion that was almost devoid of interesting incident quite out of keeping with the universally acknowledged importance of the subject There was only one recorded vote in con nection with the disposition of the ques- tion. and that was negative In character, coming on motion to lay on the table the lock type substitute for the sea level bill reports by the committee on inter- oceanic canals. This motion was made by Senator Kittredge. the committee champion of the sea level plan. and was voted down 31 to S6. This vote was ac- cepted as decisive, and no one asked for a division on the vote on the acceptance of the substitute.
 The vote is generally accepted as end ing long contest and definitely settling the type of the great waterway. It terminates what at one time threatened to become sharp difference between the Senate on the one hand and the Presi- dent and the House on the other, for there is no denying that when the bill was reported from the committee the jn- dications in the Senate were all favorable to the sea level type. There has been recently steady gain by the lock advo- cates, notwithstanding the report of the canal committed. as well as the report of the board of consulting engineers were against them. The engineers report has figured prominently in the discussion. and frequent attention has been called to the fact that while eight of the thir- teen engineers reported favorable to sea level canal. all of the five dissenters were American engineers. while. of the other eight five were Europeans. Some senators avowed their preference for the all-American report.
 Senators kittredge, Cullom, Scott. For aker and Dick spoke on the bill today but none of them talked at great length.
 The remainder of the day was devoted to the discussion of tho amendment to- the sundry civil bill appropriating s25.OOo to pay the expenses of the President when travelling, and the subject was un- finished when the Senate adjourned for the day. Senators McIlair1n and McCsrm- Der criticised the provision sharply.

THE HOUSE.

Washington. June 21.-The unexpected occurred in the House today. Instead of taking up the consideration of the House substitute to the Hepburn pure food bill early in the day. as anticipated 1t was late in tho afternoon before J. R. Mann of Illinois proceeded to champion the cause of pure ingredients and honest food preparations. The delay was caused by long and earnest discussion of the conference report on the naval appropri- ation bill,e on which MT. Floss was de- feated by other House leaders.
 The House was not in a humor to ac- cept the partial conference. nor did it desire to leave some of the amendments without expressing it's judgment upon them. In consequence. by close. but effective vote. the conferees were in
