Sea-

vote today the ; senate decided to in
accurate an investigation of the bond
sales oonducted by the secretary of
the treasury during the last three
years. The resolution demanding the
investigation is very explioit. It re
quests that the committee on finance be
directed to investigate and report gen
erally all the material faots and cir
cumstances connected with the sale of
United States bonds by the secretary of
the United States treasury during the
years 1894, 1895 and 1896; what

harbor bill went through the senate
without opposition today, inoluding
the appropriation for the boat railway
at The Dalles and the Seattle canal.
There will be a fight on both items in
the conference. With the bond resolu
tion out of the way, the senate gave its
attention to the aooumulation of minor
measures before going - on with the
river and harbor bill Mitchell of Or
egon gave notioe that when the last
appropriation bill was passed.he would
press the joint resolution for eleotion
of senators by the people, not for the
sake of having further speeohes, but
to actually adopt the resolution. Bills
were passed to establish a classification
division in the United States patent
office, and granting permission for the
erection of a monument in Washington

nia deep-water harbor prbjeot was be
fore the senate most of the day, It is
seldom that a local improvement arouses
so much feeling among senators, man
ifesting itself in a d bate of unusual
animation and of considerable personal
feeling. Berry began the debate to
day, declaring that this proposed ex
penditure of $3,000,000 was against
the publio interest and in the private in
terest of C. P. Huntington, of the
Southern Pacific Vest and Caffery
took the ground that the appropriation
should not be made at present. Frye,
chairman of the oommerce committee,
replied to the strictures upon the prop
osition, and vehemently characterized

ing of the slogan of the sand-lots."
House. V
Washington, May 9. The net re
sult of a three and a half hours' session
of the house today was the passage of
a bill to amend the act oreating the
oourt of appeals so as to .allow appeals
from the supreme courts of the terri
tories to the oourt of appeals. Piokler
attempted to seoure his revenge for the
defeat he suffered last night, when the
house refused to remain in session to
pass private pension bills, by blocking
legislation today. He made the point
of no quorum at every opportunity, and
finally the house, losing patienoe, ad
journed. Pickler threatens to keep
up his tactics until he accomplishes his
object, which he says is to seoure fur
ther consideration for private pension
bills. '

of the house voted themselves $100 per
month for clerk hire during the recesses

$100 per month for clerk hire during
the sessions. Today the proposition to
extend this allowance to members dur
ing the recesses of oongress came up in
the form of the Hartman resolution,
adversely reported from the oommittee
on accounts. It occasioned some very
sharp debate. ' It bad the support of
Cannon, chairman of the appropria
tions oommittee, but was opposed by
Dingley, the floor leader of the major
ity. Aldrich said it wonld involve an
additional expenditure of $216,000 per
annum. , The resolution was amended
so as to exoept members who are chair
men of oommittees, having annual
olerks, and as amended was passed
130 to 108.

of the house today was almost entirely
devoted to the consideration of District
