Re WORK OF CONGRESS Washington, Jan. 31. — There seems to be no prespect of an abatement of the polit’ debate which has been in progress in the house during the con- sideration of the appropriation bills. Again Saturday almost the entire ses- sion was consumed in the discussion of political topics. The controverted question as to whether prosperity had arrived attracted the most attention and interest, and testimony pro and eon was offered throughout the day. at times considerable acrimony was displayed, but as a rule the debate was good natured, both sides seeming to recognize that it was merely a struggle to secure political advantage. The house went into committee of the whole and resumed the considera- tion of the District of Columbia ap- propriation bill. ‘The general debate covered wide range. The Teller reso- lution, the Cuban question, Hawaiian annexation, the tariff and other politi- eal topics were At the conclusion of the general debate the bill was taken up for amendment un- -der the five-minute rule. ngton, Feb. 1—The house of represer luticn deel United States the bonds of the yable in silver under majority of fifty votes. The Kepublicans were solidly arra in opposition, with two exceptions, Mr. Linney of North Carolina, who yoted with the Democrats and Popu- lists, and Mr. White of North Carolina, the only colored member of the house, who nswered “present” when his name was called. ‘Che desertions from the Democratic side were Mr. Mc- Aleer of Pennsylvania and Mr. Elli- ott of South ¢ Both voted with the Republicans against the proposition. Speaker Reed, although it is not customary for him to vote, had his name called, and amid the cheers of his followers, went on record in opposition to the resolution. The vote Vv reached after five hours of debate under a special order adopted at the opening of the session. The lim- ited time allowed for debate and the pressure of members for am oppor- to be heard ¥ so great that aders on both sides were com- the pelled to farm out the time by min- utes. continuity a This detracted much from the of the dis ion, but it in a measure, intensified the in- st in the galleries which were crowded all day, and the combatants on the floor were cheered by their respective sympathizers. Many of the senators from the other end of tbe eapitol were also present to listen to arguments. The majority, under the Jeadership of Mr. Dingley, who made a carefully prepared speech sounding the keynote sumed of the opposition, as- the position that the last solution was in reality aration for the free while the assaulting , under the direction of Mr. intained that the defeat of olution was another step in the the res direction of the establishment of the gold standard, to which they alleged both the president and Secretary Gage had irrevocably committed the Republican party. The debate was at times fast and heated, but there were nsational incidents beyond the issing of Mr. Rheat of Kentucky when he said that as the author of the “Crime of '’73,” the hottest place in hades would be reserved for the pres- ent secretary of te. The vote on the resolution wv 2 to 182. In the Senate. The session of the senate lasted six hour Two of the general appropria- tion bills, that for the army, carrying 243,492, and that for the legi: judicial and executive depart- ments, ng $21,658,520,. were passed, the ter consisting of 121 pages, occupying the attention of the senrte during the greater part of the session. After a brief executive ses- sion the senate adjourned. Washington, Feb. 2.—No business of importance ¥ transacted by the sen- ate in open session. The feature of the short se: a statement made by Mr. Clark of Wyoming as a matter of personal privilege concern- ing his vote in favor of the Teller reso- lution. He maintained that his vote was in no way inconsistent with his Republicanism, and declared that he would not permit anybody to read him eut of the party, as he was satisfied the masses of the party would not convict him of political heresy. In the House. The house devoted most of the ses- sion to the District of Columbia appro- priation bill but had not completed it at the time of adjournment. Some politics were injected into the debate just at the close, the feature of which w a bitter denunciation of Mr. W. A. Stone of Pennsylvania by Mr. Ma- ny of New York for the former's ion in favor of the immigration . Mr. Stone did not see fit to re- ply. Before the District bill was taken up several bills and resolutions of minor importance were passed. Washington, Feb. 3, — Beyond the reading of the agricultural appropria- tion bill and agreeing to the amend- ments proposed by the committee the senate transacted no business of im- portance in open session. The greater part of the afternoon was passed in executive session, the discussion be- ing upon the Hawaiian annexation treaty. In the House. The house, after three days spent on tthe District of Columbia appropriation Dill, mostly in political discussion, passed the measure and then took up the bill to provide fortifications and coast defenses of the country. Several of the Democrats, notably Mr. Me- Clellan of New York, criticised the measure because it cut down appro- Pp! ions for these works below what has been appropriated in recent years. Washington, Feb. 4.—In the senate Mr. Cullom called up the agricultural appropriation bill. After a discussion on the action of the committee in strik- ing from the bill the appropriation for the purchase and distribution of seeds, the amendment to the agricultural bill offered by Mr. Warren providing for the investigation of the methods of constructing irrigation canals and of storing and distributing water and the reclamation of arid lands, the whole to cost $21,300, was discusse briefly by its suthor and by Mr. Stewart of Ne- vada. It was maintained that the adoption of the amendment would be of enormous value to the Western country. ‘Senators Bate, Gear, Sarter and Cullom participated in the Giscus- sion. The amendment was adopted, and the bill, earrying $3,527,202, was passed. Germany’s order prohibiting the im- portation of American fruits into that empire called out a resolution from Mr. Dayis of Minnesota, chairman of the committee cn foreign relations, ealling upon the president, if not in- compatible with the public interest, to transmit to the senate the correspond- ence and other information bearing upon the matter in his possession or in that of the state department. The resolution was agreed to. Im the House. The house spent the day ostensibly considering the fortifications bill. In reality the major portion of the time was consumed in the discussion of po- litical topics. The existence of pros- perity in this country was again the main question of dispute. All attempts to increase the appropriations in the fortifications appropriation bill or to amend it in any respect were voted down. Washington, Feb. 5.—It was private Dill day in the house, but by systemat- ie filibustering the private calendar containing the bills reported by the conunittee on claims was not reached, the whole day being consumed in ng eighteen of the twenty-four ate pension bills favorably acted by the house at the session last uy night. During the considera- tion of one of the bills an interesting discussion of the approaching sale of the Kansas ific road, set for Feb. 17, °¥ precipitated by Mr. Fleming of Georgia, who desired legislation to require the president to bid the full amount of debt, principal and interest. Mr. Powers, chairman of the Pacitie railroad committee, contended that the real purpose of the opposition was to compel the government to take the road and operate it. GRABL OT Iv ALL. One of His Enterprises With an Empty Treasury. Philadelphia, Feb. 6.—The Enquirer says that the Interstate Irrigation Canal and Land company, one of the enterprises of c. Grable, whose borrowings caused the resigna- tion of the cashier of the Chemical Na- tional Bank of New York, has an- nounced to its creditors that it has not a dollar in its treasury with which to pay notes. It follows with a state- ment from the treasurer of the com- pany, George B. Luver, who is also second vice president of the Security ‘Trust, and Life Insurance company of this city. Mr. Luper said he could not tell what would be done; that although treasurer, he was not a director; that he had been elected treasurer last July; .that he had never been present at a meeting of the company; that he did not know whether an extension of time would be granted or not, and that he could not tell whether there would be immediate application for the appoint- mena of a receiver or not. The capital stock of the corporation he knew was $1,000,000, but only about $300,000 of stock had been is- sued. This had been issued mainly to Grable for 8,000 acres of land, includ- ing 2,200 town lots, the property lying in and around Edgemont, a town of 1,200 people, whcse name also appears in the title of another of Grable’s ven- tures, the Edgemont & Union Hill Smelting company. The Interstate company is a New Jersey corporation. The Enquirer article gives the names of many creditors who are interested in amounts ranging from $5,000 to $75,000. The work that has been done on the canals must have cost a great part of the $300.000 issued in stock to raise money for the enter- prise. Mr. Grable v paid to man- age the work on the property. aE: WOULD BE ROUGHLY HANDLED, Elack Hills People Have a Bone to | Pick With Grable. Rapid City, 8. D., Feb. 6.—If Francis | Grable were in the Black Hills he would be roughly handled by indig- nant citizens. People gather in crowds on the streets and discuss the situa- tion. It is not thought that any per- manent harm to the good name of the Black Hills will result. All of Gra- ble’s schemes will terminate success- fully if managed right. There is no question that the Union Hill mines are rich with gold. If all the money paid Grable by the company had been used to develop the property it would have been a great success. The Edge- mont enterprises will not be materially affected. —o— A Grable Bank Busts. Crawford, Neb., Feb. 6.—The State Bank of Crawford did not open its doors yesterday morning. C.J. Grable, the cashier, is in the East. A. E. Hob- son, sasistant cashier, will say nothing of the bank further than that owing to the absence of Francis C. Grable, its president, coupled with the fact that the cur which was expected did not arrive from the East, he thought it better not to attempt to run through the day. Hobson says the bank will pay out depositors and all liabilities in full. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Congress Cannot Appropriate Money for Sectarian Institutions. Washington, Feb. 5.— Judge Hager, in the equity court, has made a ruling of far-reaching importance, holding that it is unconstitutional for congress to appropriate money for sectarian in- stitutions.
