' Thc session was almost entirely de voted to the consideration of thie con ference report on the bill providing for (he final settlement of the-affairs of the Pi ve Civilized Tribes of Indians and in connection with that report j there was a sharp controversy over an amendment inserted by the senate whieh 'provided for thc ratification of the dispursement of $186,000, of the j Loyd Seminole fund made by Special Agent J. E. Jenkins and Administra tor A. J. Brown. The debate turned upon the exceptional fact that the" | house was insisting upon the reten-j tion of a senate amendment fronp ! which the senate was appcarently anx ious to recede. The debate was i characterized by a numebr of spirited passages between Mr. Tillman on the one side and Messrs. Teller and Clapp on the other. The South Caroliua senator contended that the Indians had been defrauded, while Iiis oppon ents urged that if they had been the 1 proposed legislation did not deprive Qieni of their rights under the law. No conclusion Avas reached. Some Lively . Discussions. After a brief speech by Mr. Lati mer in support of the House railroad rate bill, Mr. Foraker took the floor on the measure and consumed practi cally all of the remainder of the day's session.

He was fre quently interrupted by other Senators. MY. Lodge spoke briefly .in support of the practice of granting lower rates on goods intended for export than on those used in domestic consumption. Mr. La timer in his speech said that at the present time seven corporations control practically all of th? railroads of the country, and no argument is necessary to convince a thinking man that his consolidation means the elim ination of competition and the placing of despotic power in the.hands of a few men.
