The eara of tho American fanners must have burned because of the eulo gies and tvibuj.es te his tillering, ener gy^ his d?votkhi add.Iiis patriotism which wer? jj?iti him by members of the house during the consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill. Next to the achievements of the American farmer, thc American hen came in for unstinted praise for her industry and.her usefulness, her cham pion being Ml\ Hawson. (Ia.), who contributed ? thoughli:ui spleen to the literature of thc farm. The president's message recom mending an appropriation of $300,000 for Mare Islaud navy yard, was read and referred to thc committee on ap propriations. Without reaching an agreement as to the limit of general debute on the agricultural billi it Went o?er? thc fea tures t)f the bill lldt bel?g touched upon. Mr. Lever (S. C.) classes thc far mer bs thc great conservative force in American politics. He said thc gov ernment expenditure per capita of ag ricultural population for thc republic of France amounis to 52 cents, for Austria 09 cents, Hungary 90 cents, and for the United States, which owes more to its agriculture than any of these nations, thc expenditure of 16 cents. The per capita lax for agricul tural purposes for the United States is about 7 cent?. Mr. Lever Hindi! H str?iig plea for larger agricultural appropriations and less for tlie army and navy: Mr. Gaines (Tenn.) came forward as a defender of free seeds. He ar raigned the millionaire growers of seeds as being responsible for the; failure of the bill under consideration to carry an appropriation for free seeds. He said that there was a goodi deal -of dairy money in the bill, the* chairman of the committee on agri culture, Mr. Wadsworth, being a large dairy iarrncl'. But Ile. said "Onion seed' money'* and "iettuce money" was remarkable by its nbsjbnce. He said there was a "trust" in every r thing the farmer ?Sds? except free seeds and he called ort-congress to give I he honest yoemailvy of the country free seeds-. Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) delivered a two hour speech on ship subsidies say ing that not a keel had been laid in an American shipvard for an American ocean going ship in the past 18 months "Suppose we had a war," said.Mr. Grosvenor, "or suppose we had no war, but England and Fiance jiad, what would become of the'commerce of the United States?" bc asked:.-"It would be placed at the mercy of these two court tries,, for 90 per cent, of thc commerce of . the United States is car ried in foreign/bottoms. No .iiatidn can -attain. to:...commercial -suprenfacy. unless' its comm?rccris carried 0^ .its own bottoms and uuder its own flag." Spooner Replis to Bailey. In the Senate Mr. Spooner spoke for three hours on the railroad rate question and then gave notice that he would continue his remarks. He ad dressed himself especially to Mr. Bailey's amendment taking from the inferior Federal Courts the right to enjoin against the execution bf the orders of the inter-state commerce commission, contending that such an exercise of power would bc the first* step toward thc destruction of the power of thc judiciary and result in au undersirablc blending of thc co ordinate branches of .the government. He also discussed at length the dis tinction between "jurisdiction" and "judical power." The address was technical and consisted largely of quo tations from legal decisions. Thc Wc-Monsirt Seator referred to a case in which the Attorney General had critiei- I a judicial decision aud had been r ;?d to by thc court. Mr. Baile ggesred that "interest* ing as the ( ?de had been it Avas not as interest): as a more recent epi sode," refeniiig to the President's criticism of Judge Humphrey in the beef packing cases. "Has Judge Humphrey gone back on the beuch to lespond to the criticism of himself?" asked the Texas Senator. "Has thc Senator jurisdiction to ask that question V quired Mr. Spooner, and himself replying, said that he had not, but that he had "judicial power to do so." The bill making an appropriation of $300,000 for the employment of extra labor at the Mare Island (Cal.) navy yard was passed. Agricultural Appropriation. The agricultural appropriation bill again furnished the theme for discus sion in the House, although but few deferences were made to the subject matter of the bill. Under (he latitude of general de bate thc leaders on thc Republican ride be^an '.'medicine making" for the approaching congressional cam paign. Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, predict ing that tariff reyison and prolction would furnish thc main issue of the campaign. Mr. Bontell, of Illinois/replied to the "walch trust" speech of Rain ey, of Ullinoi.s: while Mr. Sulzer, of New York, talked on thc. American Merchant marine, and Mr. Sims, of Tennessee, on free rural delivery boxes Mr. Sims inveighed against thc Post bflice department compelling the far mers of the United States to prchase "trust-made "rural"Tree delivery (lox es," instead of premittiug thc lar mer to make his own box. ^_ Mr. Hepburn took up the charge u'adc by Mr. Rainey of TJlfn'jis, thal ?tee! rails made in the United States wore sold eh'eapc'r abroad than in this L'ounlry utvd challenged him to furnish thc proof.
