SRT ALLEN’S SPEECH. The Nebraska Senator Makes a Defense of Populism. THE COPYRIGHT BILL IS PASSED, More Cuban Resolutions Introdaced in the Senate—A Resolution in the House to Lengthen the Terms or the Pres- ident and Senators. Wasutnaton, Dec. 15.—The final vote on the immigration bill will be taken in the senate next Thursday at four p. m., according to an agreement reached yesterday. Little doubt is entertained as to the passage of the measure, and as it already has passed the house it will be in conference before the holi- days. Mr. Call, of Florida, renewed attention to the Cuban question by three resolutions, one being a bitter denunciation of the manner in which it is alleged Gen. Antonio Maceo had been killed while under a flag of truce. Other resolutions by Mr. Call request- ed the president to demand the release of United States prisoners at the Span- ish penal settlement on the island of Ceuta, and also asked the secretary of state for a list of Americans held in Spanish prisons. The Call resolutions went to the committee on foreign rela- tions. Several spirited political colloquies occurred on the floor during the day. Mr. Allen’s spe protesting against intemperate criticism of populism in Nebraska led to a passage between him and Mr. Hoar, in which the Massa- chusetts senator declared that it was # new and novel departure for senators to appear as the representatives of po- litical parties instead of representa- tives of their states) Mr. Allen's speech was made on the resolution introduced by himself last week declaring the sacredness of contracts, and was in- tended to be a refutation of the charge that the legislation in states which had elected populist legislatures, such as Kansas and Nebraska, would be such as to retard, if not prohibit, the enforcement of legal contracts and of legal obligations. Mr. Peffer added a defense of Kansas against the attacks prevalent in the east that contract lia- bilities were being violated. He paid ahigh tribute to the integrity of his state. The resolution, with several amendments, was then referred to the judiciary committee. The senate agreed to the house umendments to the copyright bill, which passed the latter bpdy last week. The measure now goes to the president for his signature. Among the resolations introduced was one by Senator Morgan, of Ala- bama, calling upon the president to send to the senate copies of the papers relating to the Cuban affairs which were referred to in the recent report of Secretary Olney; also a statement of the claims of citizens of the United States against Spain growing out of the Cuban insurrection, and also all the correspondence with the Spanish government relating to the Competitor case. Senator Peffer also introduced a resolution for a commission of four, to be named by the president, to report on & monetary system. After the immigration bill had been considered for awhile the senate then turned to private pension bills on the calendar, and after passing 55 pension bills of this character the senate at 3:35 p. m. held a brief executive session and then adjourned. THE HOUSE. WasutnaTon, Dee. 15. —Beyond agree- ing to a resolution for a two-weeks’ holiday recess, beginning December 22, the proceedings in the house yesterday were almost entirely devoid of public interest. Most of the day was spent in a struggle over the bill of Mr. Morse, of Massachusetts, to render the laws regulating the sale of intoxieat- ing liquors in the District of Columbia more stringent. The opposition was inclined to filibuster against the meas- ure, but it finally was passed. The president’s veto of a bill to pension Lydia A. Taft, a divorced widow, was Sustained, 98 to 85, two-thirds not vot- ing to override the president's disap- proval. Several minor relief bills were passed. Mr. Miller's bill to divide Kansas into two judicial districts is meeting with unexpected opposition. So pro- nounced is the adverse sentiment that there is very little chance for the meas- ure passing at this session. Mr. Ray, of New York, from the committee on the judiciary, has re- ported adversely the bill providing that cigarettes transported into a state upon arrival shall be subject to the laws of the state, as though the cigarettes had been produced there.
