The Indian hill, which followed was not completed today, as Mr. Burton (Obio) madc a long speech on it in general eriticlsm of the policy of the government toward the Indians. A resolution was adopted, calling on the postmaster general for the correspondence in the Indianola il for Indianola Letter Mr. Loud (Ca).) presented as a privileged report a reolution from the postoffiice com- mittee, calling on the postmaster general to transmit to the house, if mot incom- patible with public interests, all documente concerning the resignation of the postmaster at Indianola, Miss. Mr. Williams (Mass.) asked him to offer an amendment president, as well as h eral. Mr. Loud deelined to the report of the mous. Mr. Swanson (Va.), a minority member of the postoffice committee, sald his un- derstanding was that the resolution would procure all the correspondence, except a single personal letter to the president, which it would not be compatible with the public interests to publish, and that he had, therefore, agreed to the resolution. The resolution was adopted Voted 1 recent to permit to include the postmaster gen- teld committee saying that was unan! Money Five Minutes, The house then proceeded to the consid- eration of District of Columbia matters. When the military academy appropriatibn bill, carrfing $644,273, was taken up, was read and passed in twenty minutes withe out an amendment or a word of debate, Mr. Overstrect (Ind.) submitted fhe re- port upon the anti-trust bill, and asked end obtained consent for individual mem- bers of ‘he judiclary committee to file their personal views. The house ordered 5,000 copies of the ma- Jority report. The consideration of the Indian appro priation bill was then entered upon Mr. Sherman (N. Y.), in charge of the bill, agreed with Mr. Burton (Ohlo) that the government had been liberal beyond Justice to the red men.

QUAY BLOCKS ALL BUSINESS Suyw Statehood Bill Must Be Disposed f Before Senate Discuswes Other Mattes WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—(Special.)—Mr. Quay (Pa.), In charge of the omnibus state- hood bill, Insisted on ite consideration to the exclusion of all other busipess. When Mr. Platg (N. Y.) attempted to call for a committee report providing for the print- ing of & document, Mr. Quay objected. Mr. Hale” (Me.) thereupon declared tha: Mr. Qucy was confiscating the ‘ime of tne semate. The latter replied calmly thar this could be obviated by allowing a vote on the statehood bill. A resolution offered by Mr. Morgan (Ala.) questioning the credentials of Dr. Herran the Colombian charge d'affaires, who signed the canal treaty, caused the senale to go nto & long exeeutive sesslon. At its con- cluslon the diplomatic and consular appro- priation bill- was passed. The Lodge amendment providing for a reorganization of the service was ruled out of order and thereby debate was cut off. Soon after the senate met today Mr. Platt (N, Y.) presented a ceport from the committee on printing and asked for its consideration. To this Mr. Quay (Pa.) ob- Jected. Mr. Hale (Me) said the objection was extraordinary and that things had come to & pretty pass If privileged reports from the committee on printing could not be considered. He sald that Mr. Quay had confiscated the time of the semate from 2 o'clock and he now sought to confiscate the time of the morning hour in the inter- est of the statehood bill. He hoped Mr. Platt would move to take up the printing resolution. Mr. Morgan (Ala.) presented a .esolution inquiring into the validity of Senor Her- ran's credentlals and upon motion of Mr. Aldrich (R. L), seconded by Mr. Hale, tbe senate went into executive session, which lasted two bours. When the doors were reopened tho cre- dentials of Mr. Kittredge (8. D.), elected to succeod himself as senator,were presented by Mr. Gamble (S. D.) and the oath of of- fice administered. The statebood bill was laid aside inform- ally and the diplomatic and consular ap- propriation bill was taken up. An amendment offered by Mr. Ledge (Mass) providing for a reorganization of the entire consular service was ‘ejected on a point of order raised by Mr. Gallinger (N, H). The diplomatic and consular appropria- tion bill was then passed. The statehood bill then was taken up and Mr. Foraker (0.), having it In charge in the absence of Mr. Quay, yielded for the passage of & house bill making an ap- propriation for the suppression and prevent the spread of contagious and in- fectious diseases of livestock.

CHOYNSKI DEFEATS MAHER Beaten Boxer Seems Afrald of Oppo- nent, Who Knocks Him Out in Second. Results PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26.—Peter Maher was knocked out by Joe Choynski in the second round of what was to be a elx-round bout at the Washington Sporting clup Maher was apparently afrald of his op- | ponent and after two minutes of sparring in the second went down from a left-hand swing on the Jaw and was counted out. In the first round Choynski used a left- hand jab to good effect and by fast foot work ‘kept away from Mahdr's vicious awings. He began playing for Maher's face and the Irish champion grew wary. Find- ing that Maher was becoming feartul Choynski resorted to jabs sn the face, with the result that Maher became confused and was unable to return the blows. In the second round it was plain for Choynskl. Maher was slow and seemed unable to avold his opponent's hlows.
