requesting the president for information as to the seizure of the American schooner Frederick Gering by the Canadian cutter cut-ter Aberdeen In introducing a bill for building the Nicaragua canal Mr Morgan Dam Ala said It would be more appropriate appropri-ate for the senate to pass the canal bill of last year Final action could I not be expected at his session but i in connection with the favorable action I of the house it would give satisfaction to the country I A brief but breezy controversy arose I over a resolution offered by Mr Hans brough of North Dakota chairman of the library committee appropriating 1 56000 for completing the frieze In the rotunda of the capitol The picture which is to be the final feature of this frieze hag long been In controversy No explanation was given as to th nature of the picture butit was indicated indi-cated when Mr Hawley Rep Conn wien with the statement I have no criticiun of the president to express I ex-press and yet I see no reason why the representations of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln should be omitted from that frieze while a representation of Mr Cleveland is placed there TOO MUCH PREJUDICE Mr Hansbrough explained that the committee had two sketches one showing show-ing President Cleveland touching the electric button which announced the opening of the worlds fair In the back ground was a representation of the Duke of Vragua and family I last of the line of Columbus Mr Hans brough said he did not think any senator sen-ator should let his prejudice against the president prevail In this instance Mr Hawley responded that i was most surprising that this historic frieze should entirely overlook the greatest historical event since < the l I revolution the war of the rebellion The very omission would create criti cim Mr Hawley suggested a representation repre-sentation cT Grant and Lee shaking hands at Apoamattox as an appropri att theme for an artist And yet I aaded Mr Hawley suggestively as a bust of John C Breckinridge man who left the vicepresidential chair to enter the rebellion was to be placed in a niche in th senate he would make no objection to this resolution With some warmth Mr Hansbrough stated that the Breckinridge bust had been suggested by at least one of the senators from Kentucky THE WAR IS OVER I am one that believes the war is over added Mr Hansbrough I object to that sneer said Mr Hawley I was not meant as such answered an-swered Mr Hansbrough I have no narrow views on this subject sub-ject proceeded Mr Hawley I thank heaven I have the warmest feeling for some of those who engaged on the other side But it is impossible to belie be-lie history There was a great war We have wiped out its animosities but the event itself cannot be wiped I out of history Mr Wilson Rep Wash obleoted to I the artontlan of the resolution and i went over Mr Shermans request for a vote at 4 p m today on the filled cheese bill was objected to by Mr Harris Bills were passed granting right of way through the Grand canyon forest reservation Arizona to the Flagstaff Canyon Railroad company and granting a pension to Elvira Sachet der The latter bill corrects an error pointed out in a recent vote INDIANS I The partial conference report on the Indian appropriation bill which ha been contested for three days was further debated Mr Vilas declared that the provision pro-vision as to Indian citizenship was little lit-tle short of a legislative outrage and evidenced a decadence of public morality mor-ality and duty Mr George Dem Miss also criti cised the conference report No action was taken up to 2 oclock when the bond bill was taken up and Mr Cul lom spoke in opposition to the bill Mr Stewart Pop Nev followed in support of the bill Mr Stewart was plied with questions by Senators Vilas and Allison Mr Vilas wanted to know if Mr > < l Stewart would be satisfied i silver was made a legal tender up to 50 Mr Stewart replied that this would hamstring and bind the limbs of one of the metals Mr Allison asked i Mr Stewarts silver plan contemplated the issue of silver certificates before the bullion was coined Mr Stewart said he would issue certificates cer-tificates at once and coin a fast as possible Thee was no doubt he said I of the ability of the government t coin silver with sufficient rapidity for the needs of civilization He would un dertake to coin 500000000 a year on a contract to receive the mint charges Mr Brown Rep Utah discussed the bond bill and also the resolution in troduced by him earlier in the day declaring that any bonds hereafter issued is-sued would be illegal His reason for pronouncing them illegal he said was I the constitution of the United States I which expressly declared that congress alone and not the executive was au thorized to borrow money on the cred it of the United States He pointed out that the act of 1895 was to provide for specie payments not for the issue of bonds to maintain them Mr Allen Pop Neb interposed to state that Mr Brown had MADE NO NEW DISCOVERY Prior to any of the recent bond issues is-sues Mr Allen said he had introduced a resolution declaring that the issues would be illgal and the bonds void The purchasers of bonds from that time tme to this were warned that the title to their bonds was at least questionable I Mr Brown insisted that the Allen resolution had been no warning to bond I I purchasers as it hart not passed Want he Brown wanted was a resolution giving a notification from the United States that the titles of the bonds was questionable The final conference report on the fortifications bhl was agreed to and also to a final report on the sundry civil appropriation bill Mr Allison explained that items still sti in disagreement were those covering public buildings arid lands survey of public lands participation in the Brussels exposition and District of Co lumbia charity schools A partial con ference report on the postoffice ap propriation bill was approved Mr Allison stated that the item as to consolidation con-solidation of postoffices was still open At 545 the senate held a brief executive exe-cutive session and then recessed until 1 oclock
