WASHINGTON
Detailed Proceedings of Senate and
House Bills Passed or Introduced
in Either Branch Questions of Mo
ment to the Country at Large
The Legislative Grind
The House did nothing Tuesday await
ing the action of the Ways and Means
Committee on the tariff bill In the Sen
ate to day 438 bills and eight joint reso
lutions were introduced They embraced
nearly every phase of public business
Mr Allens batch of bills numbered about
seventy five They included bills direct
ing the foreclosure of the government
lien on the Union Pacific road to prevent
professional lobbying defining the pow
ers of the judiciary for service pensions
etc Mr Lodges bills included those to
amend the immigration laws and for a
Hawaiian cable Bankruptcy bills were
presented by Mr Nelson of Minnesota
and Mr Lindsay of Kentucky Mr Mor
gan reintroduced the Nicaragua canal bill
before the last Congress and also a joint
resolution to abrogate the Clayton Bulwer
treaty A resolution by Mr Frye of
Maine calling for information as to the
operation of civil service rules to river
and harbor work was agreed to after
some criticism of civil service operations
Mr Frye said it was a step toward abol
ishing these rules so far as they related
to common labor on engineering work of
the government The Senate adjourned
until Thursday as did the House
The session of the Senate Thursday was
brief A smile went around the cham
ber when Mr Stewart a resident of Car
son City Nev where the pugilistic con
test occurred offered a bill for the relief
of one Corbett It proved to be a private
pension bill One of the measures intro
duced by Mr Gallinger proposed an
amendment to the Constitution prohib
iting legislation in behalf of any relig
ious denomination Mr Turpie of In
diana gave notice of a speech on the
election of Senators by popular vote and
introduced a resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution for the
purpose The first report of the session
was presented by Mr Gear of Iowa
from the Committee on Pacific Railroads
and was favorable to the bill for an ad
justment of the Pacific Railroad debts
by a commission consisting of the Secre
tary of the Treasury Secretary of the
Interior and Attorney General A reso
lution by Mr Lodge of Massachusetts
was agreed to instructing the Committee
on Foreign Relations to inquire whether
the islands of St Croix St Johns and St
Thomas of the West Indian group could
be purchased by the United States and
if not the probability of their sale to
other powers At 1 oclock the arbitra
tion treaty was reported and debate be
gan Speaker Reed has definitely decided
that for the present nt least he will not
appoint any of the regular committees of
the House beyond the three already an
nounced In this way all miscellaneous
legislation will be blocked and the entire
attention of the House focused on the
itarifl bill The bills which are being
introduced by the hundreds will have to
iwait until the committees to which they
would go under the natural course of
things are appointed
Immediately after the reading of the
journal in the House Friday Mr Dingley
reported the tariff bill Mr Bailey se
cured unanimous consent to extend for
two days the time in which the minority
report may be filed The sundry civil
bill carrying 53147551 and the general
deficiency bill carrying 81G6214 were
passed The Senate open session lasted
fifty minutes and was given almost entire
ly to the introduction of bills Most of
the day was spent in executive session
the international arbitration treat- being
under discussion The Senate confirmed
the nominations of John Hay of the Dis
trict of Columbia to be ambassador of the
United States to Great Britain Horace
Porter cf New York to be ambassador
of the United States to France Henry
White of Rhode Island to be secretary
of the embassy of the United States to
Great Britain Perry S Heath of Indiana
to be first assistant postmaster general
C U Gordon to be postmaster at Chi
cago The Senate adjourned till Mon
day
The House Saturday pushed through
the two remaining left over appropria
tion bills according to Fridays schedule
the agricultural bill carrying 3182002
and the Indian carrying 7670220 Aftet
the appropriation bills were passed a res
olution for extra mileage and stationery
for this session of Congress was adopted
The debate on this resolution was rather
lively and a question as to whether Mr
Ilolman the watchdog of the treasury
who opposed it Jiad taken the extra
mileage voted by the Fiftyrtjiird Congress
was used to greatly embarrass the econ
omist He finally declined to answer it
on the ground that it was impertinent

In a great many households as mucn
pains is taken to exclude sunlight as
If it were poison This course is adopt

the brilliant radiance will affect the col

widely known that sunlight is a won
derful minister of health and this con

to welcome it instead of trying to ban
ish and exclude it Many forms of dis

ject are due to the presence in the hu

it is now known that some species of
bacilli are killed by strong sunlight
This is particularly true of the typhoid
