Crisp. The bouse galleries were filled with people who had been at*'acted by the announcement of the memorial serv¬ ices, and very much more interest was manifested in these services by the members themselves than is usual. The tributes paid to the great Geor¬ gian were honest and sincere, and in a number of instances were marked with eloquence. General Catchiugs, Amos Cummings, Governor McCreary, Con¬ gressman Hermann, of Oregon; Con¬ gressman Dinsmore, of Arkansas, as well as the Georgia members who spoke, gave evidence of deep emotion as they referred to their personal rela¬ tions with the man who had filled so ably the speakership, and who had been such an important factor in their lives.

SENATE. A new phase of the Pacific railroad problem was presented in the senate Thursday in the form of a resolution offered by Mr. Morgan, instructing the judiciary committee to inquire whether by the very fact that certain of the bonds of the Union and Central Pacific railroad companies had fallen due and were not paid, the property of those companies had not become and was not now the property, of-the United States. The resolution went Qver. The house bill for free homesteads on the public lands in Oklahoma ter¬ ritory, which has been the “unfinished business” in the senate since the first week of the present session, came to a vote after three hours debate and was passed—yeas, 35; nays, 11. It was first amended in a very important par¬ ticular, by striking out the words “in the territory of Oklahoma,” thus mak¬ ing it apply to all public lands ac¬ quired from the various Indian tribes. The bill now goes back to the house for action on the senate amendments. The senate then adjourned until Mon¬ day. NOTES.

The senate committee on foreign re¬ lations had under consideration Wed¬ nesday the general arbitration treaty recently negotiated between the gov¬ ernment of this country and that of Great Britain, but did not reach any conclusion as to the proper disposition to be made of it. Instead, the com- mittee found the subject involved in the treaty one of such vast proportions as to render any speedy disposition of it quite out of the question, and it vas announced the treaty probably would remain in the committee for some time.
