House Summary.


 Washington. Feb. 22.--washfngton's birthday in the House of Representa- tives was commemorated by a lively debate on the negro question.
 It arose out of an effort by Mir Hefin (Ala.) to amend the District of Columbia street railway traekage bill by requiring separate cars for whites and negroes. For over an hour and a half the subject was fought over, with the result that the amendment was overwhelmingly defeated. The bill was passed.
 It provides universal transfers on the basis of cash fares or six tickets for 25 cents. It also provides for street rail- way facilities from all parts of Wash ington to the new Union Station.
 Previously in the day the House was greatly amused by Mir, Camppelf CKan.) relating an experience last Sunday in the new House ofiice building when a number of children slSated down the corridors and greatly annoyed him.
 Ills remarks grew out of an active debate on the resolution to appoint a number of policemen for the building and Mir. Currier in charge of the meas ure hearing of the episode of the chill dren got Mir. Campbell to stand up and tell the House about it. in order to demonstrate the necessity for the number of men recommended.
 At f:35 the House adjourned until Monday.
