Washington, March 23.— The senate to«lay for the fifth time in the present session adjourned be«auae death had robbed the body of one of it* members. The untimely death of Henator Bry an, who was familiarly known as the “ baby" of tbe senate, a title which he took pride in, came home to the senate with more force than any which had precede«! it. There was no other sub ject of conversation prior to and after the session than the fact that the mor tality record of tbe present session it greater than in any previous entire congress. Washington, March 23.— A scene somewhat out of the ordinary was en acted in the house of representatives today because of a charge made by Mann, of Illinois, that Bulzer, of New York, had put into the congressional Record what purported to be a speech delivered by him last Saturday, but which Mann charged was not tbe one delivered. It all had to do with Sulzer’s claim that he, and not Mann, was the author of the legislation that brought the de partment of commerce and labor into being. A letter addressed to Speaker Car.non from Representative Charles E. Little field, of Maine, tendering bis resigna tion as member of congress, to take effect September 30 next was read. After passing a number of measures relating to the District of Columbia, among them an amendment prohibit ing betting on horse race« at Benning ton’s track, the house adjourned out of respect to the late Senator Bryan. rect. There was quite a large attendance of Democratic senators in their places, but comparatively few Republicans. Occasionally conversations between sen ators on the Kepnblican side caused the senator to discontinue the reading of his remarks. On one occasion he re marked: “ If there are any comments on my remarks, I would be glad to have them made so audibly that I can bear them.’ ’ After speaking for more than two hours and a half, La Follette yielded the floor with the statement that he would resume his speech Monday next. Washington, March 19.— After seve- r«l hours of spirited discussion over the proposition to abolish 17 of the 18 United State« pension agencies and ooneclidate pension disbursementa in Washington, tbe house today passed tbe pension appropriation bill, carry ing $160,869,000, the largest sum ever authorized by this measure. The house, by a vote of 86 to 139, stood by tbe committee on appropriations and left unchanged its recommendations for one general agency. Bills were passed authorizing the sec retary of war to establish harbor lights in Wilmington harbor, California, and authorizing the cutting of timber, the manufacture and sale cf lumber and tbe preservation of forests on certain Indian lands in Wisconsin. W ednesday, M a rc h 18. Washington, March 18. — Senator Kavner, of Maryland, announced to the senate today the death of his colleague, William Pinkney Whyte.

Friday, M a rc h 2 0 Washington, March 20.— The ship subsidy bill was passed by the senate today. It pays to 16-knot vessels ply ing between this country and South America, tbe Philippines, JapaD, China and Australia, $4 per mile, the amount awarded by the act of 1891 to vessels of 20 knot« only. The bill was amended so that 12-knot vessels will receive $2 per mile, which ie the allowance under the existing law to 16-knot veeeels. Amendments were also aiiopted providing that, if two or more lines cf steamships ply lrom At lantic ports to South America under the provisions of the bill, one line shall stop at two ports south of Cape Charles and stipulating that no more shall be paid for subsidies than is re ceived from such service by the govern ment. A bill was also passed increasing the salaries of men employed in the life saving service. Washington, March 20.— More criti cism of President Roosevelt was in dulged in in the house today, when he was roundly denounced by Hardwick, of Georgia, for failing to send to con gress all information regarding corpora tions which has come into his posses sion. The presiilent, however, found a ready and vigorous defender in Mr. Mann, of Illinois, who asserted that the president had acted with the ut most good faith in sending congress all the information that ha«i come to him. The fortification appropriation bill was taken up and in the course of de bate upon it, Bartlett, of Georgia, de- nie«l the claims of Republicans tocredit for authorship of the railroad rate or ^Sherman anti-trust law. The bill was siile trackeil for general debate, which continued until adjournment. Thursday, M a rc h 19, Washington, March 19.— Resuming in the senate toilay his unfinished speech on the Aldrich currency bill, I.a Follette directed himself to the charge made in his remarks on Tuesday that the recent financial stringency was started by great banker* and financiers, declaring that since he spoke on Tues day he had secured additional informa tion proring that his oharges were cor V.’ ashington, March 17.— The sen ate committee on finance today voted unanimously to amend the Aldrich financial bill by eliminating railroad bonds as security for national bank circulation. It also decided to amend the bill so as to retain the provision of the present law prohibiting the retirement by national banks o f more than $9,000,000 of circulation In any one month. The committee discussed the proposition of increas ing taxation on emergency circula tion outstanding more than six months. The rate under the bill as it now stands is 6 per cent. No ac tion was taken on this feature. Washington, March 17. — The western senators who stood out against the railroad bond feature o f the Aldrich currency bill won a sig nal victory today when the finance committee adopted an amendment eliminating railroad bonds from among the securities that may be used as a basis for the issue of na tional bank currency. When the president consulted with the western men ten days ago he found many opposed to the railroad bond clause. Including Senators Borah, Bourne and Dixon, and upon probing deeper concluded that they were right. He then informed Sen ator Aldrich of their position and of his concurrence and at Mr. Aldrich's suggestion the committee acted to day. B a rs A narchist Paper.
