Their argument was that it would be ex- tremely unwise to amalgamate these two tutions. Dr. Wilson brought out the point that the age limit of the inmates of both institutions was below that of discre- tion, and urged that the state could not afford, though encumbered by a tremendous public debt, to close the Geneva school Perry of Furnas moved to table the com- mittee report, and this motion was car- ried Objects to Items in BiIL The report of the committee on account: and expenditures made the previous day was then tuken up Sweezy moved that two items in the bill approved by the committee be stricken out. These items were $450 for blue books fur- nished by the State Journal company.and $437.50 for bill files furnished by Harry Porter. Sweezy clalmed that, In the first place, the contracts for these supplies ought to be made by the house instead of he sec- retary of state. He disputed the fairness and justice of both bills, and declared .as to the files that, while they cost the house $1.75" each, they were worth not more than 30 cents. McClay of Lancaster ‘argued in favor of the bills being allowed, ying that the Journal company had stated to the com- mittee that money was lost in printing these blue beoks. Nelson of Douglas took up the cudgel against allowing th bills, and insisted that the blue books contalned a great deal of |0ld matter and very little new, and were not worth $3 each. Sears brought out the point that any such contract made for the legislature by | the secretary of state .was of questionable | legality. | |3 | | /The ‘committee reported that there are | new forty-one -girks Jn. the home,. but that It was the opiuion of the epmmitics ‘that McClay wanted to strike out of the re- port the item for files. Sweezy wanted the house to Tefect the committee's report and then deal with the two items, allowing as much as it decided fair. McClay called for a division of the question. Sweeszy then renewed his motion that the report as to these two items be rejected, and moved the adoption of the balance of the report. Both motions carried. Sweezy then reported that the revenue bill had been completed, invited the mem- bers of the regular revenue committée to meet and confer on the bill with the spe- clal joint committee to get the bill realy for introduction. To this end he moved the touse adjourn until 2 p. m. Thursday, and the motion was carrled at 8 o'clock. New Billa. \ H.

A biting wind sprang up during the night, increased in keenness and reached nearly the velocity of a gale as the day advanced, and added materially to the intensity of the cold. There is much suffering among the desti- tute, notwithstanding the best efforts of all charitable organizations, although the scarcity of coal is less general than in the previous cold spell.

Re War Veterans ed with Higher Rank s to Make Gove: The! or ment vings Bank. WASHINGTON, Feb, 18.—The house to- day by a majority of 2 to 1 rejected the conference report on the army appropria- tion bill because of its provisions for the retirement of civil war officers at &n ad- vanced grade, and permitting officers to de- posit money with the government at 3 per cent Interest. The house ' efphatically voted against both propositions and sent the bill back to conference. The proceedings on'the conference report were enlivened by a sharp personal clash between Mr. Hull (Ia.) and Mr. Slayden (Tex.). The remainder of the day was de- voted to the naval bfil. Slow progress was made, only twenty pages being covered. Bill is Not Repealed. The speaker announced that the commit- tee on rules had considered the question asked yesterday by Mr. Cooper (Tex.) con- cerning a bill passed Monday, which he thought technically repealed the river and harbor bill and had found . that the as- sumption was incorrect. Mr. Hull (Ia.) then called up the oonter- ence report on the army appropriation bill. Mr. Hay (Va.), one of the conferees, strenuously opposed the adoption of the bill, because of the provisions for the re- tirement of army officers who served in the oivil war and®permittiug army officers to deposit their money with the government at 3 per cent interest. Mr, Hay expressed the opinion that the latter provision would cstablish & danger- ous precedent; that it would lead to the granting of the same privilege to naval | officers and might be extended to clvil em- ployes of the government. He character- ized it “paternalism run mad.” Mr. Slayden (Tex.) charged Mr. Hull with bad faith in not giving the house a chance for a vote on the deposit amendment. He sald Mr. Hull had promised such a vote. desire to say,” interposed Mr. Hull, hat that statement is not true.” ““The gentleman's courtesy.” retorted Mr. Slayden, “is equal to his veracily. It is & cheap form of argument which permits the gentleman to indulge in the expression he has used and only the fact that I am at the bar of the house redtrains me from reply- ing to his blackguardism us it deserves.” This aroused the house and Mr. Mann (111.) undertook to rebuke Mr. Slayden. He said he was surprised that Mr. Slayden should use an expression “far worse" than that employed by Mr. Hull. “The gentleman's idea of good manners does not especially .commend itselt to me,"” replied Mr. Slayden. He then quoted from the record to show that Mr. Hull had virtually pledged tire house an opportunity to-vote on this prop- osition. Mr. Stevens (Minn.) moved the adoption of the conference report. Objects to Senate Procedure. Mr. Cannon protested against the man- néer in which ~appropriation bflls were loaded by the senate with all sorts. of legislative provisions that were not In | Benator McComas (Md.) order in the house. The practice, he de- clared, not only demoralized ,appropria: tlod T Bills, but would breed scandal _and deserved criticism. they ‘legislate under unanimous consent. Gentlemen know what that mean: Mr, Richardson (Tenn.) In opposing the conference report, declared that whether he had sought to do so or not Mr. Hull had misled the house. Mr. Hull concluded the debate, defending his position and claiming to be merely carrying out instructions. Personally, he would have preferred to have allowed the house to pass upon the amendments sep- arately. ( The conference report was voted down, 33 to 69. The house by specific vote insisted upon its disagreement to the retlrement and officers deposit amendments. The bill was sent back to conference and the ho - sumed consideration of the naval appro- priation bill. An appropriation of $100,000 for expenses incident to the occupation of the new naval station which the government is to acquire from Cuba was placed in the bill at the request of the Navy department. Mr. Gaines (Tenn.) took advantage of the item increasing the limit of cost of the new naval academy to $1,000,000 to com- ment on the fact that the increase was de- manded on account of the higher cost of material and labor, and offered an amend- ment to admit free of duty materials for the bulldings at the naval academy. The amendment was ruled out on A point of order. The committee rose and at § the house adjourned. SENATE DEBATES CLOSURE MeCom: vent Minority’s Obstructive Tacties. WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—There. was a lively debate today in the senate over Sen tor Quay's (Pa.) resolution declaring for & vote on the statehood bill before the ad- journment of congress. To this proposition reoffered Sena- tor Platt’s (Conn.) closure resolution, in- troduced two years ago; and .a motion was made to refer the whole proposition to-the committee on rules. This was pending when the senate went into executive ses- slon. The discu the senate wi in any form. Senator Spoomer (Wis.) opposed Senator Quay's motion, saying it was in a sense closure? to which he was opposed, or a censure upon the minority, which he did not think was right. Under the present rules, he maintained, the interests of the country wers better fon brought out the fact that strongly opposed to closure sorved than if there was a closure. The resolution, he insisted, called on the senate pradticall§ to closure those who happened to-be consclentipusly opposed to the omnl- bus statebood bill Mr.. Teller: (Colo.) . pgreed with Mr. dpooner and believed in maintaining free | discussion. Mr. Platt (Qonn.) sald tbat he did not belleve in absolute untrammeled debate when It reaches the polnt of obstruction. Mr. Lodge (Mass.) sald a majority In the senate always obtained a vote when It was a real majority, which must be sometbing more than numerieal Mr. McComas (Md) offered a substitute for the resolution, which was a copy of an amendment to the rules of the senate offered by Mr. Platt (Conn.) some time ago, and providing for a limited closure. Mr. Dubois (Idaho), answering particu- lary Mr. Lodge, declared that it & majority of the senate thought it for the best inter- ests of the country to pass.a bill they ought ta be allowed to vote and not be compelled to belong to the.majority party. ‘“Other- wise,” sald he, “the minority might just as well go hame." Mr. Mason (Tll) eald the minority was thé gréat part of fhe senate, which was the only body where (he minority stopped leg- {slatton. 2 Mr. Carmack (Tenf:) sdid where debates were ‘tarried on purely for thd purpose of obstructioh they were likely to lead to a closure rule, whith would defeat legitimate debate, No action was fakedl on the resoluticn or the' eubstitute, although a motlon had been made to refer the matter to the com- mittee on rules. Messrs. Stéwart (Nev.), Platt (Conn.) and Jones (Ark.) were appointed conferces on the Indian appropriation bill. Mr. Mason (1ll.) reported the postoffice appropriation bil: In addition to the amendment providing for the admission of New Mexico and Ari- zona as states, the bill makes chandes with conduct of the Postofice department, The statehood amendment is somewhat dif- terent from the statehood bill, as Arizona is the first of the tertitories mentioned, whereas it is the last mentioned in the bill. The transposition was made in or- der to give Arizona the benefit of the first vote in case of a‘division. Other amendments are as follows: The aggregate amount to be pald as salaries to postmasters is changed by $758,000, and defi- nitely fixing the salary of ‘the postmaster at Chicago at $8,000. There also is a gen- eral increase of the saliries of assistant postmaste! The appropriation for the purchdse and rental of canceling machines 18 increased from $120,000 to $810,000. The appropriation for free delivery serv- fce, $190,280,80, an increase of $1,950,850. Ten divisior supérintendents in the rural free dellvery service are allowed, instead of seven, as in the house bill, and the total appropriation for that service is placed at $12,8626,500, Instead of $9,620,400, in the house bill. The salary of theé superintendent of rail- way mail service {s increased from $3,500 to $4,000, and that of his chief assistant from $3,000 to $8,600. The appropriation for this service is increased to a total of $11,- 933,301 At 1:45 the semate went into executive session and at 5:20 adjourned.
