'Wimhltigton, Pol). 2C The sonato lind
the Indian appropriation bill before It
throughout nil the day's session; but
the fact did not prevent Cuba and the
Sangullly case from being fought over
even In a more angry and excited man
ner than It had been yesterday. At
the very opening Mr. Fryu (Hep., ?.le.)
referred to the despatch announcing
Sangullly's release toduy and deprecat
ed further discussion on the matter
yaylng thut for his part he did not be
lieve In wasting powder simply for the
purposes of making a noise.
The Sangullly resolution having been
sent to the calendar, two other resolu
tions as to victims of Spanish cruelty
were orfeicd one by Mr. Morgan (Dem
ocrat, Alabama), in the case of George
Washington Agulrre and one by Mr.
Cull In rulutlon to the suicide or murder
of Dr. Jtlcardo 1'ulz. As to Agulrre
there was some comments on his bap
tismal name, Mr. Morgan assuming
that It gave to Agulrre an additional
claim upon American sympathy, and
Mr. Llndsuy (Dem., Ky) interpolating
that ills surrenders under a proclama
tion of amnesty, wus an un-Cleorge
Washington act. A letter from Mr.
Ethan Allen, of New York, vouching
for the young man, was read und Mr.
Hoar was led In u jocose mood to in
quire with an air of gravity, whether
that was the Ethan Allen of the revolu
tion. Mr. Morgan said that he was the
grand son of the revolutionary hero and
another senator added tire information
that lie was the president of the Cuban
Junta of New York. The storm broke
out again over' the Sangullly matter'
and Senators While (Dem., Cal.) and
Lodge (Hep., .Mass.), had some delicate
sparring in which Mr. White spoke
ironically of Mr. Lodge as one of the
great men of the world and as know
ing more about Spanish pronunciation
that all other Spanish scholars known.
This was provoked by Mr. Lodge's
sneenng at Mr. White for pronouncing
"Julio" as "Hullo." Mr. Lodge retali
ated by imputing envy to the California
senator because his long speech yes
terdny had not enthused the galleries.
When Mr. Hale (He)., Me.), appealed
to senators to lay aside all extraneous
discussions and confine themselves to
the business of appropriation bills for
the six remaining days of the session
(saying that he expected the senate
to sit on Sunday) he was cruelly ridi
culed by Mr. Morgan and told that he
ought to start out on a regular tour of
lecturing if he could find a lot of school
chlluren for his audience.
CONTEMPT FOR UK. CLEVELAND.
The Alabama senator was in a very
unconelliatory mood. He refused an
grily and with every mark of disre
spect, to permit either Senator Hoar or
Senator Hale to interject a remark into
his speech, but he reserved his bitterest
words for President Cleveland, whom
he described, contemptuously, as hav
ing been "down on his hunkers" pray
ing to Spain to release Sangullly; also
as a "sluggard, sleeping and snoring
while Americans suffered."
Mr. Morgan was on the door over an
hour. After he resumed his seat the
bitterness faded out of the serrate. In
stead of It there was a wlttj passage
between Senators Daniel (Dem., Va.)
and Grady (Dem., Del.) When the for
mer used the Spanish word, incomunl
cado, Mr. Gray assumed ignorance of
its meaning and said he did not tall:
Spanish. With a pleasant and graci
ous smile Mr. Daniel excused himself
and said that he thought that the
senator from Delaware had just beeir
talking very good Spanish. This polite
retort (with his unexpressed but un
derstood meaning) provoked an out
burst of laughter on the lloor and In
the galleries, which were crowded all
the day.
In the plonsanter turn which the dis
cussion had thus taken the Cuban iues
tior. was permitted to subside; and the
actual consideration of the Indlun ap
propriation bill was resumed.
The bill had not been passed at 0
o'clock p. rn., a recess was taken until
7.30 p. rn,
DEBATE ON BIMETALLISM.
The interpretation to he placed upon
the declaration of the platform of the
Republican national convention re
garding the securing of nn Interna
tional bimetallic agreement, was the
subject of an animated und at times
exciting debate In the house today. The
result was that so far as the record
showed but three Republicans were
of opinion that their party was com
mitted to the single gold standard.
These were Messrs. Henry, of Con
necticut; Johnson, of Indiana, and
Quigg, of New York. Mr. Knox, of
Massachusetts, arrayed himself in sup
port of the other gentlemen, but being
paired, did not vote. Mh Hill, of Con
necticut, later stated that had he been
present he would have felt it a matter
of conscience and duty to stand with
them, The debate was had upon the
senate bill providing for the represen
tation of the United States at any in
ternational conference to be held for
the purpose of reaching arr agreement
to fix the relative value of gold and
sliver, reported from the committee on
coinage, weights and measures, which
C. W. Stone (Rep. Pa.), moved to sus
pend the rules and pass. The debate
lasted two hours and was participated
in by a dozen or more of the members.
The principal speeches against the bill
were made by Messrs. Quigg (Rep. N.
Y.), Johnson (Rep. Ind.), and Knox,
(Rep. Mass); and In advocacy thereof
by Messrs. C. W. Stone (Rep. Pa.),
McCreary (Dem. Ky.), IIepburn( Rep.
la.), Dingley (Rep, Me.), and Qros
venor (Rep. O.) Mr. Dlngley's speech
was the llrst he had made for many
weeks, and his uppearance was greeted
with applause. The bill was passed on
a yea and nay vote 279 to 3.
The operation of the rule permitting
motions to suspend the rules and pass
bills began to run today for the re
mainder of the session, and under that
rule the following measures were
passed: Setting apart site In the city
of Washington for n memorial build
ing to be erected by the Daughters of
the American Revolution; providing
for arbitration of labor troubles be
tween the management of Interstate
commerce carriers and their employes;
prohibiting tiro Importation of Impure
and unwholesome tea.
At 0,20 o'clock the house adjourned.

IMPROVEMENT GRADUAL.
Business Growth for tlic Past Wesk lias
Been More EncouragingSubstantial
Grounds for Confidence.
New York, Feb. 20. --U. G. Dun and
company will say tomorruw In their
weekly review of trade:
Genuine improvement In business
does not come with a rush, like the
breaking of a great dam. The growth
for some weeks past has been more en
couraging, because In nearly all lines it
has been gradual and moderate. The
rupture of the steel rail and other
combinations in the iron business has
brought out a vast quantity of trade
which had been held back, and has set
marry thousand men at work, while the
slow but steady gain in other great In
dustries have given employment to
marry thousand more, but the full ef
fects will not appear until the increased
purchases by all those swell tiro dis
tribution of goods. This comes more
slowly and later, but is already appar
ent. Certainly regarding the future
will help it slightly and is by multi
tudes expected with strong hope. Mean
while it is substantial ground for con
lldonco that months which were regard
ed by many In the money market with
serious apprehension have passed with
out disturbance and with steady gain
in the position of the country and of the
treasury. The rapid Increase in the
coke output irr the Connellsville region
which is now over 100,000 tons, gives
prospect of moderate cost for fuel and
the addition of Important furnaces to
the producing capacity prevents a large
advance In bessemer pig, which has
nevertheless advanced 10 cents at Pitts
burg with Increasing demand. Pur
chase of mils, estimated at one mil
lion tons, within two weeks, where
as the production last year was
1,102,S1)2 tuns, and the sales said
to be only SOO.000, insure employment
for the works far ahead. Bars are un
changed. With less rapidity, but less
steadily, other- industries are gaining.
Failures for Hie week have been 2,
In the United States against 27S last
year, and 60 In Canada agalrrst GS lust
year.

The Lenten Season.
Although the annual migration to Flori

longed, Eaater Sunday falling as late as

become quite an Important factor In lUo
nt the various winter resorts, affording
as It does the opportunity of rest and
quiet healthful recreation In a region of
