SHAKING UrjrilB SENATE
ThAt is an Interesting fight which has
been in progress in the con erTatiTe old
senate in wheh the newer and yoangcr
element Is seeking to divide tho appropri-
ation bills anions tho committee in-
stead of referring all appropriation mea-
sures to one committee
The house adopted this reform only a
few years fcinco and it works admirably
Tho main point ia favor of this distribu-
tion of the Tarlous appropriation me
tures is tho ppo Htion of business which
it insure The old plan of havinc an
apprnpriati a committee which passed
upon ail the appropriations for the gov J
crnmror worked well enough when t >
country was smaller and th items
In al the great department ETen ih < n I
it waa a herculean tafc Imposed ujteu one
committee and the bills came in loo

In a speech tho other vening before
the National Civil Service ltcfurtu league
Sir Schurz sees In
certain evils of our
political j tcma not only mailers for
much criticism and
apprehension but a
menace to popular government and demo-
cratic In titution In contemplating the
danger or r > siblllty that tJia American
government will ultimately b turned luu

not como from American men and wo-
men in love with luoniirchlcrtl courts
from coterie of weak minds nnd lm
lxitcnt mlllluns but la more llkuly to
iir e eilir from a failura of demo-
cratic guxrameut to afford tho iiucm

caty and caution had to be observed
We are in one scn not interested In the
determination of the boundary lice be-

HOUSE
Washington December IS Mr Illtt
Rep III rose in the house this morning
as soon as It had been called to order and
asked for unanimous corsent for the con-
sideration of a bill to empower the pre l
dtnt to appoint a commission to consider
tlo enezuelan boundary question and to
appropriate JIWOOO for the expenses there-
of Tho text of tho bill follows
A bill making an appropriation for the
expenses of a commission to Investigate
and report on the true divisional line be
tween the Republic of Vcntzuula and Brit
ish Julana
He It enacted by the senate nnd house
of representatives of tho United States In
longiess assembled that the sum of Jiw
i or so much thereof as may be necessary
I v and the samo is hereby appropriated lor
tie expensos of a cotnnlssluu to be ap
rnlnted by the president to investigate nnd
upon upon the true divisional line be
ivveen tho Republic ot Venezuela ud Brit
ish Ctilann
A sceno of considerable excitement fol
lowed the request of Mr Illtt for uuunlm
ous consent to ccnslier tho bill which ha 1
le en read by Pie ilcrk and loudly applmid
Mr Poiitclle Rep Maine was on 1 Is
ie t in the aisle In front of Mr Illtt Io
inclined his remarks by the statement
ih i he dlHllkod to object to thu consider
t on of jcli a bill but said ho It seenH
that thlt qui lion It one of such Impoit
ini t that the houtu should procecu ir a
deoroiit manner to cuiisldei It The presl
ibiiti message wns reod but yesterday
and II Menis to mo that tho gentlemen tniy
ini ia > s on a matter of this Impotinticu
without deliberation
Ciles of rtndy iirady from the iepunll
tun side Interrupted Mr Iloutelle but ho
prueecded urging that the matter was one
which affected tho relations of the two
giutt UnglPihbpcaklng Nations of the
World
Said he I havo been accused ot being
a jingo whatever that may mean I hope
no one in that part of the country where
I am known would believe that I would
heitiite In my support oi the honor dignity
or nfety of the country If It required ui
to take up arms against any or all tho na-
tions of the world Hut the press shows
the eountry to bo in a state of fevtrtsh ex
U inent It seems that we ought to give
tins matter ns much consideration as wo
would five lo nn appropriation of a few
IhoiiHnm dollars
Mr UoutellD refcried to the presidents
nuVugtt ns an extraordinary one and
went otr It seems that we should send
to the iomtnlltee to bo oalmly considered
lids message In which the executive for
tl e Hrsl time In the history of such cor
r tpondence has outlined tho possibilities
ot i wtr between tho two AngloSaxon
nations of the world
Tho speaker Docs tho gentleman ob-
ject
Mr Ilnnttlle said that he had merely
Btiggosted a hope that tho bill ko to the
committee
Mr Illtt innoincetl that ho only desired
to say a wow torn cluing tho bill nnd Its
puitioses Ho would do so ho said
without mention on this side nnd that
side for he hoped there would bo no twu
hdiK when it ea no to a nusMHon like this
Aside from the general discussion ot mu
ttro of National I olley nnd Interests there
wns a requont made by the president for
help livim tho Iiouho to enable lum to ex-
ercise his ecutlvo functions The tlrst
thing for ua to remember o patriots said
Mr Illtt Is that the country ilei ojiila upon
our nutliititinlng n united front that our
government should bo for all the people
of the United States The suggestion of
the preslleut was for n Judicial Investiga-
tion llu was suro It was made In the
proper si hit nnd the occasion itqulred
that tho country should act as ono man
Jn fuch a time tho eveetiilve Is hampered
bv every ciltii ibtn that conies from our
own country It would be urged hy tne
Prltlsh prv that tho prcsldetut was tvt
hacked tip by his country Itut only by his
own purtx We have had a lonir tlmo o
consider tho Monroe doctrine We may
not ngret with all the details outlined
by the presldoit and Secretary Olncy lm
any lndtvlou hajo villi prove a help to
those across the tea 1 hope to see the
bill pass
Mr Illtt moved the previous question
but Mr Crisp Dom la secured his per-
mission to hay a word He began
1 spent for nil on thit side of tho
house where there Is nu ill hVli ns to
the propiltty of pasting the bill The

Oiiliim Srcat Hritnln hat declined Now
what arc wo to do If the American peo-
ple have a llxed opinion on any question
they havo a decisive opinion that no lluro
peun country can neqtilrn territory on the
Auuricnn continent by force
Mr Illtt here entreated Mr Crisp In
view of the magnitude of the interests In-
volved tint to precipitate it hasty discus-
sion of them
Mr Crisp reminded him that the ropuli
lcniis lltd introduced thn bill which he
hml attempted to lining In himself yestei
day nnd continued saying thai If tho

tration with the participation of titeut

tion This matter was brought up In con-
nection with a renewal by Senator Lodge
of ItJs suggestion that th wnato should
not In vlow of a critical slate of affairs
odjojrn for the liollduys until the commit-
tees rhotild be completed for action In case
tint necessity should arise
A law number of spicehcs were made
after which It wna announcad as tho
sentiment of the caucus that there should

sent this view to tho democratic senators

teo In full working order

after tho holidays would do no great
harm
The opinion was general however that
congress should be prepared for and make
Its own Investigation It was suggested
that England might accept the nresldrnts
utterances as an ultimatum and plotted
Immediately to push her troops Into Vene-
zuela nnd h asked what the United
States would do In that ovent in case tho
question should be still tied up In the
lutndt ot a commission
