Delegates and coinage measures dominate House suspension
The House adopted many minor and some major bills under suspension. A territorial delegate from Alaska was provided as the Senate had already passed the measure. A bill to raise penny and nickel coinage from fifty nine thousand to two hundred thousand dollars passed after debate. The Williams resolution urged the Attorney General to report on criminal prosecutions in the Northern Securities case, provoking a heated exchange about the administration and statute of limitations. The House adjourned after adjourning for memorial addresses to Senator Pomeroy.
