Washington, April 7. Cuba and the flood sufferers divided attention In the senate today. The rending1 of the president's message, urging congres sional relief for the devastated regions of the Mhi&iRslppl river was followed by the introduction of a Joint resolu tion appropriating JKjO.OOO to be imme diately available for the flood sufferers.

The only business transacted today was the adoption of the Joint resolution au thorizing the secretary of war to ex pend $200,000 for relief of the flood suf ferers of the Mississippi valley. The most interesting feature of the session wo a passage between Representative Simpson, the Kansas Populist, and Speaker Reed. Mr. Simpson gave voice to the opposition to the speaker's tem porary policy of inaction which has bean smouldering in some quarters by speaking to a question of privilege. He finished a Hery denunciation of the speaker by demanding that he appoint the committees of the house nt once and gave notice that he would provent any more attempts to do business by unanimous consent. Several Republicans members at tempted to stem the tide of Mr. Simp son's attack but Mr. Reed seemed to desire to hear it and declined to Inter fere. He listened calmly to the speech and then with his usual coolness and lucidity replied that the speaker was merely the instrument of the house, that he hnd enforced what he supposed to be the policy desired by the majority and that the house had power to com mand tho speaker if it disapproved of his course. The Republicans expressed their approval by a round of handctap Ping. PRESIDENT'S OUTING. .Mr. nnd Mrs. .McKiulcy nnd Party Enjoy a Trip on the Dolphin. Washington, April 7.
