fixity of purpose," he exclaimed,
was born to abhor crime in any form.
In connection with a statement by
Mr. \ ilas that the secretary of the
treasury was opposed to the pending
bill, Mr. Aldrich said: "While it is
true that the secretary had not asked
for this legislation, 1 understand from
the attitude of the senator from Indi-
ana (Yoorhees) and the senator from
Tennessee (Harris), both distinguished
members of the finance committee, in
favor of tho bill, that there was a re-
quest on the part of the administration
for the passage of the bill."
"Did the senator say he understood
from me that it was the request of the
administration that the bill should be
passed in ord r to enable the adminis-
tration to perform its duty?" asked Mr.
Harris.
1 said from the fact tho senator
from Indiana and the senator from
Tennessee are in favor of this bill, 1
assumed the administration desired it
to be passed," responded -Mr. Aldrich.
Mr. Harris said slowly and distinct-
ly: "I have represented on this floor
l'n personal and individual views.
1 have no information from the head
>f the administration or any member
>f the administration fully as to what
they wish or do not wish in regard to
I am representing my own in-
lividual views and shall continue to
represent them until tho end of the
contest."
At 4:25 Mr. Vilas yielded to Mr. Har-
ris for a motion to go into executive
session, after which the senate ad-
journed until Monday.

Washington, March 10.-In the house
yesterday, after transacting some busi-
ness of minor importance, the house
nt into committee of the whole for
the further consideration of the Dis-
trict of Columbia bill. In tho course of
lebate Mr. Kilgore denounced the dis-
rlct press as subservient tools of all
jobs in the district to plunder the treas-
ry. At 8 o'clock the debate closed, and
voting took place on various amend-
ments. At 5 o'clock, without complet-
ing considertion of the bill, the house
recessed until 8 o'clock The night
session was devoted to the passage of
indWdual pensions, and at 10:25 the
house adjourned.

day. Mr. Manderson. of Nebraska,
from the committee on rules, offered «
resolution authorising the secretary of
t\ r to investigate the feasibility of
using the water power at Great Falls
or Little Falls, in the District of Col-
umbia, for the generation of electricity
for lighting the public build ings anil
the streets of Washington
The resolution was agreed to. Tin
senate then took up the unfinished
business, the bill for the erection of a
new government printiug office.
Mr. Lolph addressed the senate, hold
leg that the chairman of the commit
tee on public buildings and grounds
(\ost) hud recently experienced a
change of heart, and whereas he had
merly condemned the present site,
he was now advocating it, and propos-
ing an addition to the present building
in the interest of economy.
Mr Allen, of Nebraska, In reply to
an assertion made by Mr. Dolph, that
.i ><>t organizations had been given no
opportunity to present their views,
stated that they had asked for no hear-
big.
M - Dolph said as to his assertion
that no labor organisation had desired
a hearing, that one of the most power-
ful organisations in the country the
W oo' Growers'association had asked
him to secure a hearing for it, but the
committee had refused to give anv
hearing. J
Mr. Allen retorted that Mr. Dolph
did not know what his position was
with tho Wilson bill, for ho (Allen) did
not know what tho bill was except as
it came from the house.
