When the Senate met the clerk of the House announced the action of that body !i the railroad rate bill, but it was allowed to lie on the Vice President's desk until 2:30 p. m., when it was called up by Senator Tillman. Mr. Tillman called atten tion to the fact that his name was not attached. He said he was oppos ed to the agreement concerning one. amiendment, to which he would later nove that the Senate disagree. He had reference to the McLaurin amend ment, divorcing the carrying and pro duecng b!rQiness, which was amended so that it does not apply to pipe iIes. The change in this amendment, "in plain English," he said, "meant that Standard Oil had got in its work." The agreement in regard to this anendment, he said, relieved the Standird Oil Company from control and regulation of the inter-State Commeree commission. The Immigration Bill. Under a rule limiting debate on all but two sections, the so-called immi gration biUl was discussed for three hoirs in the House and passed with out a yea and nay vote being permit ted on any of the part.graphs. This bill attracted much attention, the lkpresentatives having large foreign colonies in their districts lining up generally against the head tax of 73, which was defeated. and against the educational test. After a very interesting contest a substitute for the educational test, providing that the whole matter be submitted to a commission. was adopted by a close vote. The most important features of the bill were then eliminated and the bill was passed without divi sin. House Eushing Business. Business was written all over the doings of the House forcing the con clusion that the leaders see early ad journment in prospect. The early morning hour was given over to the passage ,of Senate bills by unanimous consent. the asreement to confereuee reports, the Military Academy appro priation bill and the bill for the pro tection of Niagara Falls being among the measures which received their fin ishing touches. The omnibus public building bill, carrying in round numbers $21.00.000 satirically known as the 'Dork bill," was considered and passed in one hour. The general deficiency bill was then taken up and progress made af ter general debate ceased. It wais under consideration until 6 o'clock. when the House took a recess until 8, the niqht session beine held ffor general debate on the bill to amend] the administration of the custom lows This is another way of saying that political speeches would ae'ain be in order tonight. Mr. Boutell. of Illi nois. replied to the tariff speeches of Mr. Williams. of Mississinpi. an' Mr. Rainey, of Illinois. Mr. Snight of Mississippi. addressed the House on the "merchant marine. The House passed the Senate bill which reneals the so-called 24-hour law by fixing the maximum of time in transit for stock at .36 hours upon the written reouest of the owner or person in charge of the particular shipment. "The Pork Barrel' ''The Dork barrel.'' as the so-call ed omnibus public building bill is gen erally called, was rolled into the House by Mr. Dalzeil. of Pennsyl vania, who reported a broad and com prehensive rule for its consideration. Mr. Bartholdt, of Missonri, chair 'an of the committee on publie buildings and grounds, said the bill represented the painstakinz intell i egent labor of many months. He said that miore than .500 bills carrying up wards of $60.00R.000 had been refer red to the committee and each of these bills was considered on its mer its. Out of this mass of public build ing bills has come the present omni bus building bill, which carriers in round numbers $21,000,000. " The claims of all the country have been imonrt ially considered," said Mr. Bartholdt. "and this comn prehensive hill is a resuilt of the months of earnest work spent upon its preparation." State Passes Naval Bill. After two or three more speeches on the conference report on the rail road rate bill the Senate sent thec bill back to conference. again dlesignat ing Senators Tillmnan. Elkins and Cullom as conferees. During the day the naval appropriation bill which has been in conference for several weeks was finally passed, the Senate receding from its amendment concern ing the naval training station at Port Royal. S. C.. which was the only item remaining in controversy. The most interesting incident of the (lay w5's a confliat over a motion by Senator LaFollette to enter upo~rn the consideration of the bill limiting to 16 hours the time railroad em ployes engaged in the movement of trains may be employed consecutively. There was gtreat diffieulty in securing a voting quorum. but the requisite number ultimately was obtained. Sev eral speeches were made on the bill. General Deficiency Bill. Washington, Special.-The general deficiency appropriation bill, the last of the great supply bills, was complet ed by the House committee on appro priations and reported to the House.
