” ~ WORK OF CONGRESS House Still Struggling Laboriously Against Democratic Filibuster, PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE Deficiency Bill Passed and Immigra- tion and Public Building Bills Sent to Conference —— Voices of House Clerks Worn Out by Roll Calls. Washington, March § - From 11 o'clock yesterday morning until Jast night the house struggled riously against the Democratic filibus- ter, working steadily to wind up the necessary business of the session. De spite another special rule adoped yes. terday, legislation proceeded at a snail's pace. Roll call followed roll call on every proposition. The voices of the reading clerks were worn out by the ceaseless calling of the roll, and several clerks from committees have been drafted to help out. Since Thursday last, when the filibuster was inaugurated, there have been over 60 roll calls, as against 57 for the entire long session, lasting from December 1, 1901, to July 3, 1902. The members also show the effects of the heavy strain, but they are sticking to their posts. Last night the great hall pre sented a dishevelled appearance. The floor was strewn with bits of paper, looking as if a snow storm had swept through the hall. In the galleries Among the spectators were many wea: ry watchers interested in bills doomed to failure, but still hoping on to the end. The proceedings were enlivened several times as the leaders of the re pective sides crossed swords, Their rr had not been sweetened by their long vigil and frequently the sparks flew The conference report on the Alas- kan homestead bill and the immigra- tion bill adopted; the omnibus public building bill and the general deficiency appropriation bill were sent to coi ference. The Otjen bill to pro- hibit tobacco dealers from giving priz- es, the bill to provide for a delegate from Porto Rico, a bill Major Gorgas to the rank of assistant surgeon-general and a bill for the re- lief of Lieutenant B. F. Handforth were passed The house ence reports ’ ricultural bills, labo- were to advance also adopted the confer. on the postoffice and ag- and shortly before midnight, at the end of a continuous session of almost 13 hours, adjourned in the Senate. The senate the general deficiency bill after four hours consideration and after it had amended in several particulars An amendment by Mr. Rawlins calling for an appropriation of $50,000000 to fur- ther the work of irrigating the arid lands furnished material for consider- able discussion, Mr. Rawlins contend- ing that the surplus in the treasury could be better used in this than by turning it into banks.
