Currency legislation was the chief topic
Tuesday. For nearly three hours Sen
ator Owen of Oklahoma spoke on the Aid
rich bill, claiming that he had, through
former Senator Jones of Arkansas, in
1900 proposed legislation somewhat SINH
lar to the bill under consideration, but
with essential differences, which he de-
clared would have prevented the recent
panic had it been enacted into law. The
Indian appropriation bill received consid-
GRAFTON during a part of the day. General
debate on the army appropriation bill
again furnished opportunity for free ex-
preston of opinion on the issues of the
day in the House. Mr.. Garrett of Ten
nessee and Mr.. Pau of North Carolina ar
raigned the Republican party for its poll
cies with regard to the tariff, while Mr..
Hayes of California denounced the fnan-
cial system of the United States as
patchwork" and the Aldrich bill as fall
ing far short of the remedial legislation
needed The only remarks pertinent to
the army bill were made by Mr.. Parker
of New Jersey, who spoke in favor of the
proposition of increased pay for the Off
GERS and men, and Mr.. FISHERMAN of
Wisconsin in support of restoration of
the canteen.

Two Senators with Indian blood in
their veins, and members of former Indian
tribes, carrying on an animated ard acri-
monious debate marked the proceedings of
the Senate Thursday. Senator Owen of
Oklahoma. member of the Cherokee Ma
ton. sought to have the word Late plac
ed before the designation of the Five
Civilized Tribes" Senator Curtis of Kan
sas. who is part Kaw Indian, took the OPP
posite view The Senate voted against
the contention of Mr.. Owen. Senator
McCreary of Kentucky spoke on the cur
rency bill. The committee on ways and
means of the House was put to rout and
by an overwhelming vote of the House
ordered out of the capitol to the new
House Office building, block away. Va
rious members of the committee strenu-
ously objected to the removal. The COM
mittees present rooms are desired for the
Speaker. The army appropriation bill was
discussed. ar.l the provision for pay of
non-commissioned officers and privates
was stricken out. Representative Lilley
introduced a resolution calling on the
Secretary of the Navy for all information
in his possession concerning submarine
boats.

In the Senate Senator Culberson of
Texas criticised the Aldrich currency bill
and spoke in favor of amendments he
deemed necessary Senator Nelson also
denounced the measure as of no import
ance in its present form. The bill was,
on motion of Mr.. Aldrich, made the I'M
finished business of the Senate. The bill
to revise the criminal laws of the Uni
ted States was passed. The climax of
general debate on the army appropria-
ton bill in the House came when Mr..
Dalzell (Pennsylvania) delivered an ex-
haustive speech in defense of the Repub-
lican party and its policies. The tariff
system was attacked by Mr.. Houston
(Tennessee), who charged that the trusts
owed their being to it. Other addresses
were made by Mr.. Sherwood (Ohio) in
support of his bill to pension soldiers of
the Civil War at 81 day, and by Mr..
BouteIl (Illinois). who referred to the
fact that the gold in the United States
for the first time had reached a billion
dollars. The army appropriation bill was
read for amendment and its considera
ton was not concluded when the House
adjourned.

after the arrangement, and those who
have looked over the list of pieces Sc
sured are enthusiastic over the pros
pect. As has been announced, the dis
play will take place after the excur.

concert by the Fort Huschuca band IS
also planned, and it is the intention to
have the display between intervals OF
the pieces by the band.
Another item is that the Japanese
umbrellas have been telegraphed for,
a sample here having been used in the
selection. These umbrellas are not
only striking in appearance, but are
substantiaI-such as one would think
could not be bought for less than a
dollar Yet they will be sold to the

with a horn that is guaranteed to !et

Another detail in connection with
Bisbee's end of the celebration that
has been settled is that Jim Kinney

Father Muerer, who was with him
about 1890, learned that he had a
