THE SENATE PROGRAMME
These three financial measures, with the
general appropriation bills, consumed the
greater part of the session. Early in the
session the Democratic caucus of the Senate
agreed that the [ollowing matters should be
considered: A financial measures of some sort,
detalls not designed; the bankruptey bill; the
bills for the admission of New Mexico aad
Arizona the Nioaraguan Canal bill, and the
Bate Bank tax repoal bill
Of all these moasures, the Nicaraguan Oa.
nal bill alone passed the Bena'e, alter two
months’ debate, and that only because the
Mepublieans utilized it as a buffer to keep off
the bankruptey bil. It filled to receive con-
sideration in the House, The bankruptey

providing for free sugar, free coal and free
