WASHINGTON, July 31.—The senate wore an aspect of peace and serenity yesterday in striking contrast to the excitement of last week. Among the bills introduced was one by Mr. Allen to provide for the issue of $50,000,000 in treasury notes to be distributed pro rata among the states "for the relief of the worthy poor." The house joint resolution further extending the appropriation until Aug. 14 was passed.
Beyond the passage of a few unimportant bills by unanimous consent nothing was accomplished by the house. Mr. Boutelle offered a resolution congratulating and recognizing the Hawaiian republic, but on a point of order it was referred to the committee on foreign affairs. Two hours were spent in attempting to secure the adoption of a special order for the consideration of a bill to protect public forest reservations, but the Republicans by absenting themselves succeeded in forcing an adjournment.
