A Thousand Washington, Jan. SO. The House today voted unanimously to strike from the urgent deficiency kill the provisions for the second payment of mileage to the Senators and Representatives of this Congress and then passed the urgent deficiency appropriation bill This action waa the climax to an exciting discussion of the mileage problem begun yesterday first on the point of order raised against the provision of Mr. Ma lilox, of Georgia, and then on a motion to strike out that made today by Mr. Lnderwood of Alabama. Argument on the iKiint of order that the item was not authorised by law turned on the question whether this was the second session of Congress or merely a continuation of the session of Congress or merely a continuation of the session convened November 4lh on the call of the President. An amendment by Mr. Grosvenor provldiug for the return of the mileage to the treasury waa agreed to. Mr. Underwood's motion to strike out the provision for mileage to the amendment waa adopted without a dissenting vote. The bill pasned the House just as it came from the committee of the whole. The question turned, Mr. Towney said, on whether this waa the second session or a continuation. He held that the session called by the President terminated December 7th by constitutional limitation and said It would be os reasonable to say that because there would be no formal beginning of tomorrow, that therefore, Saturday will continue forever aa to contend that the special session still continued. He held this to be a separate and distinct aea-io- n and that the provision for mileage ia in order. The bill to ratify and amend an agreement with the Sioux Indiana nf the Rosebud reservation in South Dakota, and making appropriation and provision for carrying the agreement into effect waa taken up whereupon Mr. Raker of New York entered his pro-te- at agsinat It on the ground that the policy of disposing of public lands ia wrong. He said this policy ia responsible for the crowded condition .In the ioor quarters in the cities and the present economic conditions. He declared that lands should be leaned and nought to amend the hill, though saying It. was certain bla amendment would bp voted down.

They preiuired an expedition, which waa sent- up the Magdalena on February 2 2nd on four river boats to concentrate troops to stop the troops coming down.

JAPAN Jan. 30.' "It will be if Japan remains Inflexiastonishing ble," were tbc significant words fo an official of the foreign office to the Associated Press this afternoon.

The report that a thousand Russian troops are to occupy Antung is also craitradicted, it being intimated that as this Is one of the open ports of the United States the report might have been put out to arouse a renewal of hostile feeling In the United States. It has been ascertained by tbe Associated Press that there Is practically no division in sentiment among the Emperor s advisors at Thursday' meeting. In this connection it is pointed out that much St. Petersburg. of the eriilclMi) abroad regarding the delays incident to tbe formulation of the present a well as to the formal Russian communication is largely attributable to ignorance of the complicated machinery and deliberate methods of the Russian government. Tbe Emperor's decisions in all important matters affecting the empire are always based on most extensive and comprehensive reports covering every phase of the subject. under the Pussian It ia ncccsi-ary- , system of government, to have the fullest Information. This ha the advantage of placing all of ths Emperor's advisor on record and making them responsible for the recommendations they express. The Russian archives in this respect contain more history of governmental acts and tbe motives liebind them than those of any other government In the world. In the case of the present Russian response, as an example, views and opinions were requested, not only from all the ministers who have departments directly or Indirectly involved in the outcome of the negotiation. namely, tbe foreign, war. navy the govand fiscal iiciwtineiiti, ernment. even called for those of ambassadors abroad, who were in a position to know i lie Interests and Urn )( j 1BL i views of the countries to which they are accredited. These widespread exchanges, reaching into both hemispheres, required time. When all were received they were submitted to the siiecial council on Thursday, presided over by Grand Duke Alexis. The conclusions reached by the council were drafted by Duke Alexia and referred back to the members for bignalurea, such comments and expressions as each might make, coupled with the reasons therefore. Thus, when the final report is submitted to the Emperor he will bn in tbe possession of the opinion of every official of the empire. whose duties are even remotely affected hy tbe issue, with their reasons therefore in black and white. An unsuccessful effort, made at the British embassy here to confirm the report cabled to the State department at Washington from Tokio that Ambassador Scott had pronounced the reply to be made by Russia to the last Japanese note as satisfactory.
