Mr. Clark (Wyo.) delivered a long and carefully prepared speech In its support. For a time later the Senate considered the omnibus claims bill, but did not dispose of it. The House broke all its records in the matter of private pension legislation, clearing the calendar and passing 159 bills in a little over three hours.

The debate was interrupted before the close of the session by the presentation of the conference report upon the Philippine tariff bill. Mr. Payne, the majority leader, declined to allow the minority more than thirty minutes in which to discuss the report, and this offer was rejected. A filibuster followed, and the House adjourned after the previous question on the adoption of the report had been ordered. The Senate began consideration of what is popularly known as the shipping bill —a measure to provide for ocean mail service between the United States and foreign ports and the common defense; to promote commerce nnd to encourage deep-sea fisheries. Mr. Frye (Me.), chairman of the committee on commerce, made the opening statement in support of the bill. He occupied the floor for nearly two hours. Prior to the consideration of the shipping bill many minor measures were passed. The House spent Tuesday in discussion of the bill to classify the rural free delivery service and place the carriers under the contract system. No vote was reached. The speakers were Messrs. Smith (Dem., Ky.), Gardner (N. J.) and Williams (Miss.), in favor, and Messrs. Landis (Ind.). Maddox (Ga.) and Hill (Conn.) against the measure. Before debate began the conference report on the Philippine tariff bill was adopted. The vote was on party lines, except that Messrs. McCall (Mass.), Littlefield (Me.) and Heatwole (Minn.) voted with the Democrats against adopting the report. The ship subsidy bill was further discussed in the Senate by Mr. Frye. No other Senator desiring to speak, the bill was laid aside and a number of minor bills were passed, including one appropriating $3,500 to construct a lighthouse keeper's dwelling at Calumet harbor, Lake Michigan, Illinois, nnd another authorizing the erection of buildings by the international committee of Young Men's Christian Associations on military reservations of the United States.

Senator Clay (Ga.) ad eased the Senate in opposition to the bill, especially on its general subsidy feature, and had not concluded when the Senate adjourned. Early in the session the Senate passed the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, the second of the big supply measures to be acted on at this session. The llonse continued the debate on the bill to classify the rural free delivery service, but without action adjourned early out of respect to the menlory of Representative Polk of the Seventeenth Pennsylvania District, whose death occurred suddenly at Philadelphia the previous night. Messrs. Sims (Tenn.) and Smith (III.) spoke in favor of the bill nnd Messrs. Underwood (Ala.), Sperry (Conn.), Foster (Vt.), Gaines (Tenn.) nnd 11. C. Smith (Mich.) against it.
