House Passes Indian Appropriation Bill Amid Fast Moving Senate Row
Washington reports show the house passed the Indian appropriation bill as amended with no separate vote on the Lincoln sectarian school amendment and the Ogden land claim removed. Dingley explained the need for immediate action as Canadian sealers threaten the season. In the senate a tariff bill debate ended in defeat, followed by heated exchanges among Merrill Weller and Sherman over party unity and policy. The finance committee then spent time on Bacon's bond bill, but tie votes postponed final action.
