Washington, Feb. 4.-The senate
passed the urgent deficiency appropri-
alton bill carrying s4,0S1, 900.
The house accorded the privileges
of the floor and the right of debate to
Benito Legardo and Pablo Ocampo,
resident commissioners of the Philip
pine islands. A bill appropriating
S4O3, 900 for the payment of Catholic
claims in the Philippines was reported
favorably by house committee on insu-
lar affairs. A debate on the Indian
appropriation bill occurred. Mr..
Williams of Mississippi, taking for
his text the presidents message, said
he disagreed with Hepburn's state
ment that the message met with th''
approval of the entire American peo-
ple." Indeed" he said, there are
things in it sensational, federalistic,
dangerous to the American public.
Mr.. Hepburn, he declared, had threat
ened the big four" Of the house,
the speaker and MessTs. Payne, Dial.
zell and Sherman-when he asserted
that the house would pass the RENE
dial legislation the president had rec
commended. He said he hoped to see
some of things spoken Of in the mes
sage enacted into law. He discussed
railroad rate legislation and insisted
it was of democratic origin. He did
not think democrats would endorse
hat part of the message which rec
commended the restoring to the rail
roads of the power to pool, OF which
advocated federal licensing OF corpo
rations. He referred to Paul Morton
former secretary navy and asked
Did he get out of the cabinet to go t.
prison after his confession of Ions
continued violation of these laws?'
No" he said, but instead he jumped
| into a lucrative position in private
life with a letter of commentator
from the president of the United
States"

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY

Washington, Jan. 31.-Representa.
tive Cary of Milwaukee introduced q
resolution for the appointment Of a
committee to investigate the govern.
ment printing Office. There has been
much and long-continued complaint
against methods In vogue in this
grea. shop where over $7,000,0O0 q
year are spent.
A bill introduced by Mr.. Cary has
for its purpose the prohibiting Of tele.
graph companies from sending mes.
sages by mail or express. 1t provides
also that if message is not sent
within one hour the sender is to be
notified; also If it is not delivered to
the addressee within one hour after
arrival at the receiving Office.
Representative Kuestermann OF
Wisconsin made tariff revision
speech in the house. He spoke for
half an hour and was literally ap-
plauded on the democratic side. Mr.
Kuestermann said he favored the
general principles OF protective
policy. The Rng.ey tariff act was all
right in 1897 but it did not cover pres.
ent conditions The tina has arrived,
he said, when some of the schedules
should be reduced, increased or abol.
ished. He said the lumber tariff should
be abolished both as a protection to
American forests and as an aid to
home builders. Mr.. Kuestermann pre-
scented statistics showing the profits
Of the steel trust, and declared the
time had arrived when that industry
could stand on its own feet.
A bill was introduced by Senator
La Toilette to limit the power of in
terstate railroads to remove causes
,of acton from state to federal courts
on the ground of diverse citizenship
Mr.. La Toilette says such removal
works hardship to small litiganis.
