HOUSE OPPOSES
HIGHER SAL ARlES
REJECTS SENATE AMENDMENTS
FOR RAISING PRESIDENTS SAL
AIRY TO 100000
CANNON Is WITH MAJORITY.
Presiding Officer Votes to Strike Out
Provision for an Increase in the
Speakers Allowance.
ALL PARTY LINES ARE WIPED OUT

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. o.
The House put on its war paint yester-
day and the Ratchet was swung right
and left, with the result that the salary
raising provisions for President, vice
president, speaker and federal judges
were hacked to pieces.
BY sweeping majorities the House
many times defed the Senate by reject
ing its amendments to the legislative ap-
preparation bill providing for salary in
creases and fol the creation of the offices
OF under secretary and fourth assist
ant secretary of state. Party lines were
obllterated completely.
1t was regular field day in the lower
body, where oratCry and confusion We'd
with each other for honors. Not during
the present Congress has the speaker
been compelled to WELD his gavel with
such force to bring about order.
Battle Waged for Six Hours.
The battle waged for more than six
hours, at the end of which the bill was
sent to conference. So much time was
consumed i'll consideration of the confer
ence report on that measure that night
session was made imperative in order
that further discussion of the Suudry
civil appropriation bill, which had
dragged along for several days, might be
had.
Although the members were primed
for discussion of the secret service, the
subject was allowed to go over until to-
day. The bill was less than one-third
completed when the House. about sos
p. M, recessed.
In opening the debate on the confer
ence report on the legislative, executive
and judicial bill Messrs Underwood
(Ala:) and Clark (AIo) criticised the Sen
ate increases III appropriations, especial
y in reference to salaries.
Messrs. Bingham PaD, Gillett Mass.
and Livingston (Ga.), the House con
ferees. strenuously defended their re-
port.
The Senate provisions for raising the
salary of the President vice president
and speaker were voted out by 1853 to
al votes.
Cannon Votes with Majority.
Before the announcement was made
Speaker Cannon directed that his name
be recorded in the affirmative.
An unusual scene followed. Members
were on their feet i'll a general scramble
for recognition for motions of one sort
or another. The speaker, unruffied Inv
his beSiegers, held that a motion bv Mr.
Watson Qnd.) to recede from the amend
ment and amend 1t so as to make the
salary $4,000 was preferential Mr..
Watson sought to shut off debate by
moving the previous question, and on
that proposition the roll again was
called
The previous question was ordered and
on the vote being taken on the adoption
of the amendment it was carried 1853
to 149, amid Republican applause.
The amendment will make the PreSi-
dents salary equivalent to the present
salary plus the $4,000 appropriation
heretofore allowed him for travelling ex-
penses, the latter appropriation being
stricken out.

House Committee Fails
to Make Report
Either Way.
SENATE TO HAVE CHANCEATIT
Senator Edwards of Rosebud
County Introduces Bill
in Senate.

Action on the Musselshell county
bill has been indefinitely postponed
by the committee on townships and
counties to which it has been re-
ferred. This means that the bill
will probably remain in the house
committee room until after the ses-
sion. As soon as the members of
the third house from here learned
OF the postponment, immediate ar
rangements were made for it's pre-
sentation in the senate, and it was
introduced in that body by Senator
Edwards of Rosebud Wednesday.
The fate of the bill in the house
committee was brought about by
purely political reasons, and the fact
that no report was made, either
favorable or adversely, shows that
the members of the committee,
who realize the merits Of the bill,
feared public disapproval. The
principle argument ad vance d
against the proposed county divis-
ion by the opposition, which con-
sisted primarily of Representatives.
Thompson and Conway, who are
members of the committee, is that
we are too young" 1t seems to
have been the one aim and desire
of Representative Thompson of this
county to see the bill defeated, as
is evinced by the fact that early in
the game he secured the appoint
ment on the committee on counties.
The bill will be pushed as vigor-
curly in the senate as it was in the
house, and it is not improbable
that the measure will fare more fav-
orably in this body. Passing the
senate the lower house will undoub.
edly concur with it's action on the
bill. AS a whole the house is fav.
orable towards the measure.

place, if the efforts of the CONNER
cial Club count for anything. Many
woolgrowers in the territory adjacent
to this city have expressed desire
to market their product here pro-
viding suitable accommodations
are provided. Much of the business
now goes to Billings for shipment
over the N. p. As warehouse at
this point would insure considerable
