Tuesday, Feb. 10. The statehood bill agafta came tip In the senate and Mr. Morgan of Ala­ bama spoke on it for some time. In the course of his remarke he re­ ferred to bills regarding trusts, which, he said, have been kept back and will be kept back until it is too iate for discussion regarding them. The time of the senate was being wasted on account of what he termed "a peace­ ful political blockade" on the state­ hood bill, when more Important meas­ ures were awaiting action. Mr. Hanna presented the conference report on the Department of Commerce bill. The conference report on the general-staff bill was agreed to. A number of other bills were passed. The house adopted the conference report on the Department of Com­ merce bill by a vote of 251 to 10. One Republican (Mr. Littlefield) and nine Democrats voted against this action. Several Democrats took the position that the Nelson amendment to the bureau of corporations was a weak and ineffectual attempt to provide the ma­ chinery for corporation publicity. Mr. Mann (111.) on behalf of the Republi­ cans, contended, on the contrary, that it was a better measure of publicity than had been presented in any other bill. The remainder of the day was devoted to the sundry civil appropria­ tion bills. Mr. Cannon, chairman of the appropriation committee, gave notice that at the proper time he would move two amendments--one to provide for the purchase of a site and the erection of a three-story, 400-room office build­ ing for members, to be connected with the capital by a subway and to cost $3,800,000, and the other an appropria­ tion of $2,500,000 to carry out the ori­ ginal plans for beautifying and enlarg­ ing the main wing of the capitol. Tae notable feature of the general debate on the bill was a speech by Mr. De Armond (Mo.) on uie Hanna bill to pension ex-slaves. He spoke in a sar­ castic vein, but the subject assumed a serious phase when Mr. Richardson (Tenn.) said that adventures in the South were uslrg the bill to impose on Ignorant, credulous negroes, and called on Mr. Cannon to give assurance that the passage of such a measure was riot contemplated. This assurance Mr. Cannon gave. Wednesday. Feb. 11. Mr. Hanna called up the conference report on the department of commerce bill, and It was agreed to without de­ bate. The bill now goes to the presi­ dent Mr. Morgan almost immediate­ ly after the cpenirg of the session re­ sumed his remarks on the statehood bill, but branched off on the subject of the proposed treaty with Colombia. He referred to the concordat of Pope Pius IX., which constituted a part of the organic law of Colombia, and said that the United States intended to put the heel of ignominious contempt up- Dn it. He predicted a return of the hostilities between the old church par­ ty in Colombia and the Liberal party. Mr. Depew spoke in opposition to the statehood bill. The senate then went Into executive session and ratified the Alaskian treaty. The commercial :reaty with Greece was also discussed. The house made fair progress with the sundry civil appropriation bill, covering eighty-six of the 150 pages of the bill. The amendments of which Mr. Cannon gave notice for the com­ pletion of the east front of the capitol, and the erection of an office building for members, were adopted. The cost of tne building Is to be $3,100,000. Senate bills were passed to authorize the Pittsburg; Carnegie & Western Railroad Company to construct a bridgo across the St. Francis river, Ar- to authorize the Memphis, Helena & Louisiana Railroad to construct a bridge across the St. Fracis river, Ar­ kansas.

JVicCcmas gave ndtice that he woulf call un the eight-hour bill at the earli *st opportunity, which brought from Mr. Quay the statement that "untl) the senator from Maryland and those obstructionists behind blm" consent, to the fixing of a day wher a vote can be taken on the statehood bill, he would oppose any action or the eight- hour bill. A motion by Mr. Pettus to reconsider the vote by which the Alas­ ka boundary treaty was approved was tabled. The house mado slow progress with the sundry civil bill, covering only twenty-seven pages and leaving forty pages still to be disposed of. The delays were occasioned by discussion of the item in the bill for the main­ tenance of the White House and de­ bate upon the item appropriating $3,* 000,000 for the relief of distress in the Philippines. , Mr. Gainss (Dem., Tenn.) and Mr. Fitzgerald (Dem., N. Y.) criticised the greatly increased cost of maintaining the White House. An amendment to cut in haif the ap­ propriation for the relief of distress In the Philippines was deieated, but the language of the paragraph was modified so as to require annual re­ ports of the expenditure of the money, Friday, Feb. 18.

Mr. Gallinger offered an amendment to the District of Colum­ bia appropriation bill repealing the law fixing the charges for the use of telephones in the District of Columbia. Alter a long debate the amendment went out on a point of order by Mr. Heitfeld. The bill was then passed. The resolution of Mr. Morgan calling for the correspondence of naval offi­ cers regarding tne military occupation of the bays of Panama and Colon, was agreed to. Wnen the statehood bill came up Mr. Depew attacked the Mor­ mon church, because, he said, he be­ lieved its members still cling to tne practice of polygamy. Mr. Rawlins replied, saying that if the Mormons were not interfered with, they would work out their own destiny. The Elkins bill to prohibit rebate to shippers was passed in the house by a vote of 241 to 6, those voting in the negative being Democrats. The remainder of the session was devoted to the sundry civil appropriation bill, which was practically completed. No effort was made to pass it, as there was no quorum present, and notice was given that a record vote would be demanded on an amendment to in­ crease by $30,000 the $154,000 appro­ priation for the site of a military post at Indianapolis. The amendment was adopted in committee of the whole by a vote of 44 to 27. An amendment was adopted to appropriate $10,000 for ad­ ditional land tor the site of the gov­ ernment sanitarium for disabled vol­ unteer soldiers at Hot Springs, S. D. Saturday, Feb. 14. The senate agreed without discus­ sion to the amendments made to the Elkins anti-rebate bill by the house. This completes congressional action upon the bill, and it now goes to the President. Mr. Quay gave notice that beginning next Monday he would ask the senate to take up the statehood bill each day Immediately after the conclusion of the routine morning business. He then introduced a reso­ lution, which under the rules went over for a day, declaring: "House bill 1?J>43, to enable the people of Okla­ homa, Arizona and New Mexico to form constitutions and state govern­ ments and be admitted Into the Union on an equal footing with the original states, has been under discusssion in the senate since the 10th day of De­ cember last, and must fall unless voted upon at an early date, It is the sense of the senate that a date and hour prior to the 2d of March next should be fixed fcr a final vote upon the bill and all amendments that are pending or may be offered taereto." Mr. Quay then asked to have the statehood bill taken up, and when this request was complied with he gave way to Mr. Stewarv to bring up the Indian appro­ priations. The late Representatives Russell of Connecticut, Salmon of New Jersey, Cummings of New York and Crump of Michigan were the sub­ jects of eulogies. Wiihou. preliminary business the house went Into committee of the whole and resumed the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill. The amendment adopted to appro- priate $30,000 to aod to the proceeds of the sale of the arsenal at Indian­ apolis ($154,000) for the purchase of 1,800 acres near that city for an army post was again the subject of debate. Mr. Simms (Tenn.) said the land pro­ posed to be purchased at $1C0 an acre was assessed for taxes at $30 an acre. Mr. Steele (Ind.) gave it as his opin­ ion thak the land was worth $1C0 an acre. Mr. Richardson's amendment to prohibit tie use of illustrations In bu­ reau reports, except with the approval of heads of deparements, was offered in a modified form, BO as to escape a point of order, and adopted. When the* bill was reperted to Hcuse Mr. Zenor (Ind.) demanded a separate vote upon the *ddiarapolis military post amend­ ment. The amendment whs adopted, 125 to 85.

A thrilling incident of the fire was the discharge of 1,000,000 rounds of Krag-Jorgensen ammunition, the car­ tridges exploding in one continuous fusillade, scattering bullets to every part of the island and endangering the lives of scores of men who had been called out to fight the flames.- Appeaja for Help.

Rock Isiand and Moline, which lie near by on three sides the beautiful island on which the arsenal is located.

Blunt, the arsenal com­ mandant, says that the burned build­ ing cost $250,000, and that its contents were worth over $1,500,000. It was the most costly fire that ever occurred in this vicinity and probably entails the heaviest loss upon the arsenal system of the United States that has befallen it in time of peace. The Rock Island arsenal is the larg­ est in the United State3, having a greater capacity than any other and being advantageously located, com­ prising ten immense and substantial buildings with thirty-four floors and covering in all thirty acres of ground area.

Largest Liner's Firct Trip. Liverpool cable: The White Star line twin-screw steamship Cedric, the largest vessel In tae world, has sailed on her lnlUgl trip for New York Qneenstowk How the Name Originated and Why II Belongs to the Union Pacific. Some time aco the editor of tte Omaha "Examined" lock issue with Mr. A. Darlow, advertising agent oi the Union Pacific, about the term "overland," claiming that, aa trains could not run under' land. It was • misnomer to apply "The Overland Route" to the Union Pacific. Mr. Dar­ low, who convinced the editor thai "overland" was correct, has since wri^ ten the following instructive mono* graph on the subject: The significance of the word "ove^ land" haa now almost passed away, but In the 60's and early days of th* 70's it had a meaning peculiarly tm own, being used to designate Union Pacific and Central Pacific ralV roads as the rail route, or overland route, acrosa the continent in contra* distinction to the several routea bf sea, notably the routes by the Isthmus of Panama and Cape Horn. In deslff> nating the route to the Pacific coast it became necessary for passengers to signify by "sea" or "overland," bene* the term "overland" became generally adopted for the Union Pacific and Cest» tral Pacific lines. The ocean route to the Pacific was tedious and circuitous and the impetuosity of the mining pop* ul&tion demanded quicker time for the delivery of its mall than was taken by the long sea voyage. From the tep- minus of telegraphic communication^ there intervened more than 2,000 miles of a region uninhabited, except by ho» til© tribes of savages. The mal! frons the Atlantic seaboard across the Istl* mus of Darien to San Francisco took at least twenty-four days. The route across the desert by stage occupied nearly a month. It was not long before "the overland route" diverted all the trans-contlnen. tal passenger traffic from the water routes to the rail route via Ogden. * Senator Thomas H. Benton of Ml* souri, in the senate chamber of tho United Statea, February 7, 1849, said! "The road I propose it necessary to u*--and now. The title to Oregon it settled, and a government establishes there, California, is acquired, peopl§ are there, and a government must fob Uno. We own the country from sea to sea, from the Atlantic to the Pacific upon a breadth equal to the length of the Mississippi, and embracing tlI# whole temperate zone. We can run O road through and through, the wholt distance, under our flag and under our laws. An American road to India, through the heart of our country, wilt revive upon its line all the wondert of which we have read, and eclipse them. The western wilderness, from the Pacific to the Mississippi, wilt start into life at its touch. An Amet* ican road to India--ccntral and nat ural--for ourselves and our posterityl now and hereafter, for thousands of years to come." Later on Abraham Lincoln selected this road--the Union Pacific--as tho natural route on which the mighty streams of western commerce would be borne; and now this road--"Tho Overland Route"--appears in all Its grandeur. The Isthmian canal is to bo built, mingling the waters of two mighty oceans; China, Japan, the Phil* lppines and the Antilles to throw off the sloth and oppression of centuries^ thus giving to the United States tho rich markets of the Orient, whoso ware* aud people must pass over tho Union Pacific as the most favorable route to Europe, Canada, South Amer­ ica and the coast of northern and western Africa. They in turn will send their products to exchange tor those of the nations, while the north and south, east and west of the United States, will pour their manufactures^ meats, fruits and grains into the ports of 'every island and every continent, receiving their product in turn over the Union Pacific as the great railroad that has brought the world together and made our country first among tho nations.
