In the Senate on the 4th J P Dolliver was sworn in replacing the late Gear. The unfinished ship subsidy debate resumed with Frye speaking in its favor. The House held brief sessions with little major business. On the 5th Frye completed his subsidy speech. Debate and divisions on army reorganization began, with McCall denouncing the bill and Philippine policy. The 6th saw no key Senate action. Morgan spoke at executive session on the Hay Pauncefote treaty. The House passed the army reorganization bill 166 to 13. On the 7th the Senate debated the Hay Pauncefote treaty in executive session and adjourned to the 10th. The House discussed the Great oleomargarine bill establishing a tax on butter substitutes. The 8th saw eulogies for Rep Harmer. The Senate was idle.
