 Senate. ACTION TAKEN BY
 HOUSE COMMITTEE Sub Committee of Five Ap- pointed to Frame Legisla- tion for Immediate
 Relief.

Washington, Dec. A. Nearly q thousand bills were introduced in the senate to-day and all of them were referred to committees. No other business of importance was transact ed Almost all of these bills were ccnsidt<ad in the last congress and most of them were private pension bills.
 Contrary to general expectations, Senator Aldrich, chairman of the committee on finance of the senate, will not introduce a currency bill. His plan is to receive all suggestions for cur rency legislation, to lay them before his committee and to have them fully discussed in order that the committee itself may frame bill which may be reported to the senate.
 Among the more important measures introduced to-day were the following:
 By Senator Fulton: Amending the railroad rate law in such manner that change of tariff filed with the inter- state conamerce commission cannot go into effect where objection is made un- til the commission has declared the rate fair.
 By Senator Dick: The administration measure providing for an increase Of pay for members of the army, navy and marine corps
 By Senator La Toilette: Requiring that railroad rates shall be fixed so as to only yield fair return on the valu- ation of a roads property. By Senator Nelson: Extending the free delivery service to all towns hay ing postal revenue of $s,000 A short bill which may take the place of a regular ship subsidy bill this session was introduced by Senator Gallinger It provides for an increase of the mail-carrying rate for sixteen knot ships plying on the Pacific and the South Atlantic to an amount not exceeding the rate paid to flrst-class vessels. The bill is designed to meet the ideas set forth on ship subsidy in the presidents message.
 Two single statehood bills were iu- troduced, one by Senator Teller for the admission of,New Mexico and the oth- CT by Senator Stone for the admission of Arizona as a state.
