Jasper County Democrat, Volume 6, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 March 1904 — Senate and House in Brief, [ARTICLE]

Senate and House in Brief,

Washington, March 4. For almost four hours the senate, while technically engaged on the naval appropriation bill, discussed a wide range of subjects, including t'he policy of the United States in the Philippines and the Russo-Japanese war, the Democrats attacking and the Republicans defending. The house passed: the District appropriation bill and devoted the oratory to a discussion of the negro question, the statement that a negro had dined with President Cleveland being "officially” denied.
