SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
 PASSES THE SENATE
CARRIES A TOTAL OF $12o,ooo,o0 REQUIRES BUT LITTLE MORE THAN TWO HOURS coNsl0ERA- TIoN-NEW PASSAGE RECORD.

Washington, May 14.-The great sua- dry civil appropriation bill. carrying a total of about sl2,oOo.Ooo was passed by the Senate today after little more than two hours of consideration.
 This is the last of the large supply bills and it's passage places the Senate square ly alongside the House in the considera- ton of the appropriation bill and of the entire If leaves only the general deficiency and the military academy bills to be considered by either house.
 The sundry civil bill is generally de- bated at length and also as a rule re- auires much time in committee, but in addition to the expeditions disposition in the Senate the present bill received un- usually prompt consideration in commit tee.
 It was received from the House on the Sth instant, reported on the 18th and passed today.
 Senator Allison was in charge of the bill not only in the Senate but in com mittee and his friends point to his sue cess with the measure as an effective refutation of the report that he is not
 
 rendered by so many years as the head of the committee on appropriations.
 portion of the session was devoted to the consideration of the bill suspend ing the penalty feature of the commodity clause of the railroad rate bill. At 4;50 p. m the Senate adjourned.
 An amendment was adopted providing that no pension shall be allowed any officer or enlisted man of the revenue cutter service. either on the active or re- tired list, such restriction having by law been formerly applied to the army, navy and marine corps.
 When the appropriation for the inland waterways commission was reached MT. Bacon of Georgia called attention to statement by the President to the gov ernors convention that he had in viola tion begged Congress to provide for per petuating the inland waterways commits sion, to which he added that if Congress insisted in not doing so, he would find way to do so without the aid of Con- gress." There was at first some confusion of issues as to whether the appropriation In the bill was what the President desired but finally it was agreed that it was not. MT. Hale said it was only a waterways commission he knew about and all that had been asked for had been given.
 MT. Bacon thought the Presidents proposition ito perpetuate the commits son' meant that he would set the money from some fund and MT. Beveridge sus gested that there never had been any appropriation for the commission.
 Mr Teller remarked that If the Pres ident knows how to get along without an appropriation it might be well to let him do so."
 An amendment by Senator Gallinger ap- propriating $60o0 to enable the governor of Alaska to suppress the liquor traffic among the natives of Alaska was adopt ed Two revenue cutters, one to cost $225000 to take the pla' of the Dexter in Narragansett bay and one to cost ESQ., coo for New York harbor were appro- priated for

 Other Opponents.
 Others who spoke against the bill were Messrs. Hill of Connecticut, Gii- lespie of Texas; Keller of Ohio and Crawford of North Carolina, while among those who favored it were Messrs. Vreeland and Bennett of New York, Weeks and Lowering of Massa- chusetts Madden and Mckinney of Illi- nois and Kahn of California.
 Mr. Kahn offered the Williams biil as substitute for the Vreeland bill. He did so, he said, because he found no one was willing to stand sponsor for it, ''notwith standing MT. Bryan said it was the best bill before Con
 gress today" and in order that the democrats of the House might have an opportunity to vote on it. Reversing the order of things Mr.
 Kahn demanded the ayes and noes and all the republicans stood up The | democrats soon joined In the deman nd for the ayes and noes amid shouts of laughter.
 Leader Williams had instructed his colleagues not to put themselves on record and when one after anoth CT
 they answered present" the republi- cans went wild.
 few democrats broke away and voted against the bill. Among these
 were Messrs. DeArmond of Missouri
 Macon of Arkansas, Jones and Hay of
 Virginia, Moon of Tennessee, Moore and Slayden of Texas, Sulzer of New
 York, Smith of Missouri, Sherly of Kentucky.
 MT. Williams voted present" To a man the republicans cast their votes against the bill. The Williams bill was lost; ayes, 6 i; noes 232i present" 93. The democrats who voted for the biil were Messrs, Brundage, Floyd and Robinson of Arkansas, Cox of In1i- ana, Davenport of Oklahoma and Hack ett of North Carolina.
