4 The Senate. Washington. Feb. -For six bur this ifteiuiKiu tie Senate discussed tne post- ilHce aiipropriatiim bill, without, however, oming to a final vote. Au agreement was reached to vote on the bill and amendments; at 2 o'clock to-morrow.

Mr. Hawley. chairman of the military affairs couiuiittee. moved to take up the armv bill, unanimous consent having been refused to take up the measure without displacing the unfinished business-tne auti -si alpini: bill. Mr.

Hawley's motion prevailed, thus makiug the army bill th 1 nntiuished busiuess. It is agreed that this I action disposes finally of the anti-scalping bill for the present session. When the Senate convened Mr. Chand ler of New Hampshire entered a motion to reconsider the vote by which the naval personnel bill was passed and that the measure be recalled from the House la order that some errors might be corrected. The order was made.

Mr. Cockrell of Missouri secured the passage or a resolution caning upon me Secretary of War for detailed information as to the cost of the army under the proposed Hull The House amendment to the bill au thorizing the President to appoint cadets to the Navai Academy was concurred In. The bill now goes to the President. Bills were passed as follows: Attaching ClaiWue county. to the western division of the Southern District of Mississippi: amending au act provid ing for the change of time and place of holding the district and circuit courts of the Northern District of Texas.

Consideration of the postoffice appro priation bill was her resumed ana Air. Butler of North Carolina continued his argument in favor of a reduction of $uV-ijmmm in the amount paid for railroad mail transportation, which he offred in the form of an amendment. TltANSl-oKTAlIOX OF MAIL Mr. Chandler, opposing the amendment Mr. Butler offered, said he could see wisdom iu withholding from the railroads the amount they are to be paid under ex istlng law.

thus creating a deficiency which would have to be paid. He was iiicHnei! to believe that the sum paid railroad- for mail transportation was too high, but that point should be established before action. Ill a brief reply to Mr. Butler Mr. Allison said that after a pretty careful eia initiation of the subject he was convinced that niaey railroads of the country actually received less for the transportation of mail than they outtht to receive.

He believed this applie i to a majority of the railroad mileage of the country, although it might be true that some of the lines received too large an amount. He do elared the adoption of the amendment would be a great injustice to many railroads. At this point Mr. Chandler withdrew his motion io reconsider the naval personnel bill At o'c lock the Vice President laid be fore the Senate the unfinished busiuess Itlie anti -sculping Mil). Mr.

Cullcni. in charge of the measure, asked to lay it aside temporarily. To this Mr. Pcttigrew objected Mr. Hawley.

chairman of the commit tee ou military affair, asked unaniniou-consent to proceed with ihe army reorganization bill without displacing the ttntin islied business. To this Mr. Pettigrew also obiected. Mr. Havvlov then moved to takp uo the army bill, the effect of the motion, if oa-ried.

being to displace the unfinished bu-d IK-Ss. Mr. Ciidom made an apin-al to the Sen-a'e uot to displace the unfinished busi i'is-. bin again Mr. Pettigrew objected.

The Senate voted t4 to pro-ii with the armv bill. flic reading of he Hull-Hawley bill was after the Vice President had decided that Mr. Butler, who had been addrossdng ihe Senate, lost his right to the floor by the action of the Senate. Mr. Hawley insisted upon proceeding with the bill! as it was a measure of im mense importance, lie announced tni he proposed to accept no conditions except those of unconditional surrender.

AUMV RILL LAII ASII'fr-At the conclusion of the reading of the bill, Mr. yuay asked unanimous consent mat th- army bill be laid aside temporally, and that the consideration of the I ostutrice appropriation bill be resumed. There was no obiec-iiou. Mr. Tiliman offered an amendment providing that star route contractors be ro utined to collect from and deposit 111 noxes erected along their rouies n-nll mat-'r.

lie.xes to be maintained by the j.co le the route. The amendment v. agreed to. r. Butler again took the floor to ie- Slillll- his argument against the large amount paid railroads for mail transit.

atioii. An effort was made to reach an agreement to vote upon the bill lo-morrow at some specified hour, but Mr. Butler asked, lie fore consenting to tne fixing of an hour to vote, for iiuaniinotis consent to au amendment providing that the Postai Commission make a final report to Con-giess not later than March 1. BJ. To this Mr.

Chandler objected. Mr Butler theu proceeded witii his iproch. After speaking for an hour Mr. ouller vielded to Mr. Pettigrew.

Grow iRop.i of reuusylvania askcJ unfcnmlous consent for the cousideratloa a bill to pay the heirs of Samuel Tewksbury of Scran ton. for war laim, and when consent was refused the Speaker recognized him to move its passage uuder suspension of the rules. Mr. Maddox (Deui.l of Georgia opposed the bill on the ground that it was au unjust iliscriuiinalioa agaiust a similar class laims itr the House, the bill was defeated- 12S to 77. two-thirds not havinc voted in the affirmative.

Mr. Loud illep. of California moved the passage under suspension of tin- rules of the Senate bill to extend the u-es of the mail service. The bill is to legalize the use of the return ami postal aids of the I'uited States Economic Postage Associatiou. This bill was also feated- pJT to P7, two thirds hav iug again failed to vole to suspend tue-rules.

Mahou tUep.) of Pennsylvania moved the passage under suspension the bill reimburse liovfiaur. of States tor expenses by iheiu in the organising of volunteers for service iu the war with Spain. Mr. Mahou said there were claims from tne various States for this work aggregating over Fnder the existing law onlv of these claims hud been liquidated. The passage of this act was necessary for the settlement of the remainder.

The House amendment, he said, would compel the Governors ol States to produce detailed vouchers and Ihe reimbursement would be made through th government's accounting officers. I AMMOt CONSENT KEfrT SKL. Mr. Coopor ijtu.l of Texas urged that the bill snould be amended so as provide for the paymeut of expenses "incurred or paid. pointing out taat ia some cases there existed no Stcte authority tor the payment of such expenses, and as a matter of fact the expenses had uot been liquidated.

I'nanimous eouscut was refused for the adoption of this amendment, ami Mr. Cooper expressed ihe hope that the coufetees ou the bill would see that it was incorporated. The bill was passed 155 to 15. Mr. Cannou.

chairman of the appropriations committee, was then recognized, and by the direc tion of his committee moved the passage under suspension of ihe rules, of the bill for the payment of to Spain. Mr. Dockery iDeui.) of Missouri asi.ed unanimous consent to offer an amendment declaratory of the policy of the I'uited States relative to the Philippines. 'Regular order." shouted a dozen members on the Republican ide. "By direction of the appropriations committee." said Mr.

Cannon. "I am directed to decline to accept that amendment. I would not if I could and 1 could not if 1 would." Mr. Wheeler iDeui.l of Kentucky de inanded a second vote, which wa ordered. to 11.

This permitted twenty minutes for debate on each side. Mr. Cannon called attention to the fact that a few days ago when the appropriation stricken from the sundry civil hill he bad l.irun iru lum aj v. wcjuiil lie lounil within the rules to pass it. In his opinion nine-tenths of the members of the House favored it.

Mr. Dockery again asked unanimous consent for the consideration of his aim-niliyajNUt. which, he said, was a combination of the licEcery and Bac-on resolutions. Acain Mr. Cannon objec ted.

Mr. Clayton iDeui.) of Alabama said he did not think the President and the peace commissioners had beeu wise in insisting upon the cession of the Philippines, but since the treaty was concluded he had believed tbatthere was but oue thing to doto ratify the treaty. tKepublii an applause, i LACKS NERVE AND FLICK. Mr. Wheeler (Doai.) of Kentucky, upon whose objection the appropriation went out of the sundry civil bill, declared he would vote agaiust it with great pleasure.

He was opposed to it because he believed it wrong in principle and infa mous in execution. He was not afraid of giving ffense to some effete and decaying monarchy of the Old World. He declared the administration was a soldier of fortune. It lacked the nerve and pluc to declare its purpose. Micawber-llke.

ii was waiting tor something to turn up. The war begun for humanity had degenerated into a war of bloody exterrninatioJ that would disgrace the pages of history. Mr. Wheeb-r criticised the methods of the appropriations committee, and in conclusion declared that he would stand by what he believed to tie rignt. Mr.

Cannon concluded the debate with a brief speech emphasizing the tdlenes-i of a declaration of policy at this time, wiieu our troops were ughting to preserve order. Wheu the authority of the I'uited Stales was acknowledged, then with due regard to -uu own self-respect, having in icurd our own besi interests well as those- of the Filipinos, we could decide what do. hen thai tune arrives. interposed Mr. Bailey, the Deuiocralic leader we to move out and let those people gov rn if.ou.l jeers from tic-Kepublban side greeted this interruption, i "Ah.
