the passage of a revenue tariff bill
and will then consider the offices, ad-

Washington, March S.—The usuai
Sunday iiuict of the capitol building
was disturlied by a session of the Sen
ate. made necessary to pass nppri pria-
tion bills. Large crowds filled the
galleries and overflowed to 'he corrid-
ors. The attendance of Senator* was
even greater than that through the
week, the absentees, other than those
out of town or sick, numbered only
twelve. The venerable figures of the
Senate Morrill, lio-r, Sherman. Mor-
gan and Palmer—were among those
present.
An extended debate occurred on an
amendment offered by Mr. Clark ol
Wyoming, designed to counteract the
president's recent order withdrawing
*1,000,0(10 acres of land from the pub
lie domain and creating forest reserva-
tions. Mr. Clark criticised the presi-
dents order as arbitrary, saying the
people of the states affected had not
lieen consulted. It was. he said, the
most serious blow aimed at the West-
ern country since the present Congress
came into existence.
Mr. Carter of Montana, who was
commissioner of the land office at the
time an inquiry into forest reserves
was begun, also criticized the pres
dent's order as liai*v and in total rlis-
regard of vast interests. Towns, vil-
lage's. mills and coiners hail been indis-
criminately includes within these for- '
est reserves.
Mr. Cannon of I.'tah said the Pres-
ident's order covered an area greater
than that of the state of Maine. It
affected states represented here bv
fourteen senators, not one of wlioi.i
had been consulted. The order wouiii
work most serious hardship to the peo-
ple of the West
Senators Pettigrew. Wilson. Dubois
and Mantle also spoke in criticism, and
the amendment was then nnnniuiously
adopted. It was as follows:
"And all the lands in the states oi

A little after o'clock yesterday
