mous coutent i l.u’ an order should le
made allowing tbe committee on
labor to report for ac'ioo at any time,
not to interfile with tbe revenue or
Bpproi>>lHtlcr> bills l-glslation for the
purpose of providing for arbitration
111 striker op railroads
O’Neill, of Missouri, thought, the
order should pr perly come from the
committee on labor
Randull, of Pennsylvania sug-
gteied that the subjec* was file same,
Whether it came from a committee or
from ar. Individual, and Anderson
pointed r,u ; its Importance by stating
that the whole siuttawtel was wi'h
out a wheel carrying freigut. There
was no objection and the order was
made.
At the expiration of the morning
hour the house resumed the Indian
appropriation bill The rending
question was on tbe point rf order
raised yesterday by Nelson, of Min
peseta, against 'he appropriation for
tbe Salem Indian school.
Nelson said he thought the com
mittee wa» wrong in rtiitrg out tbe
clause relative to Captain Pratt, of
tbe Carlisle Indian schorl, and that
that decision wss rpplioable to the
pending cIbuso, but tie aid not wish
to delay tbe [ss-cgr of ti e bill, and,
therefore, wiiLdiew the point of
order:
No further amendment wes made
and the bill laased—yeas 226 nays

The bore? immediately went into
• committee of the whole on the post
r ffl'je appropriation bill.
Blount, of Getrgia, chairman of
tbe committee on pis' ' Sices and
post roads, brnfly explained the pro
visions of iIte bill It appropriates,
be said, (64 326 688 as against an es
timate oi (64,686 166 ami an appro
priation ot (53,700 990 for the current
year. The largest proportion of this
increase over the appropriations for
the current year occurred in
tbe item for railway mail
transportation, the increase in
this item amounting to fl 686,000
This was a large incteaee, and was
due to the fact that the appropriation
for this service for the current year
wbb far below the needs of the sem
vice. The bill contained but two
legislative provisions Ooe relat'd
to special mail facilities which bad
been in tbe bill for the past ten years,
and tbe other to the mail messenger
service. Blount moved tl a' general
debate on the bill be limited to six
hours.
Agreed to, ond-the dUcussiou pro
ceeded.
Burrows, of Michigan, coDEumed
the remainder of the afternoon in a
speech criticizing the post master-
general’s action In regard to tbe ap-
pfopriatlon ot (400,000 last year to be
expended in foreign mail service and
in attacking tbe udunutstiatlou upon
the civil seivice question.
The committee then loss and the
house adjourned.
. SENATE.
Logan’s bill to increase the number
of eulisted men in the army was
again discussed until it was displaced
at 2 o’clock by the judioiuiy cuiuiuH-
tee resolutions on Gar'and.
Morgan took the fl >or in opposition
. to the majority report, He entered
upon on exhaustiv. anulysis of the
question, not only as it t ffc'el the
immediate case under consideration,
but the mutual relations generally of
tbe executive and .he senate. In the

dent were asked suen a question, and
be should reply that he must decline

interest, there u would have to end.
The preieuded object m the present
oaee was to expose the pat < s
in the Du-'kiu matter, yet if the a-
torney-geueral should send btreany
papers on tile against Djekln the
ssuate would immediately close its
doors and keep the people from see
ing them. “lam a Arm friend of

ued, “oecause the satety, decency

R ferring to the determination of
the majority not to confirm nomina
tions when papers about supmsloue
are not. furnished, Morgan s - id they
might as well in n fit of passion de
clare at an end nil intercourse wi h
the president, The altitude of the
senate could not b" Jus ifl-.d.

ti e functions marked out for n by
tbe constitution. The senate was In
no position to assert that, the pteat-
dent had not dor e bis duty If iL
could not show that the oonauct oi
tbe president lu some way
cotflced with the powers
of (lie senaie that should
end the oontioversy. Morgan wished
the ccuutry lo understand that when
the senate should hereafter be in se
cret scission and could not keep this
government lu due course of action it
wes because tho republican majority
would not permit it They were try
ing to get the reason for the presi
dent’s action, something with which
they had nothit g to do, and the peo
ple recogniz'd tbe lact, though it
was endeavored ingeniously to cover
it up. If the country could be ex
pected to regard with amusement
anything done by the senate, the
people would certainly laugh at the
fare made by the senate in this
matter
Morgan discussed at some length
the question of constitutional limits,
.ion on the president’s powers, to
show that they did not t fle.it his
purser of removal and that r,is dis-
c etion in that respect was at b 'u ■,
Tuat it wai purely an f xecutive func
tion was shown by the plain Let that
it implied ttie > xetciee of force, when
that v ar necti sary, to dispossess an
ol jsotiouable . ffiothclder It was not
to be suppos'd the constitution gave
congress the power ol impeachment
by a two-thirds vote if that power
could be asserted by a
mere majority of oue house, as
was substantially attempted in this
instance. If tho republican position
was now correct the people, in order
to eflsct a change of administration,
would not only have to elect a presi
dent, but also wait till acnange could
be .fleeted in tbe political majority
of ihe senate.
MLchell ol Oregon,concurred in the
report of tbe majority of the com
mittee in so far a" it sssorted that i-
s\at the duly of the ixicutive < tticers

the senato .in refusing to

to. Ho far as his vole, if given for
the whole series of the resolutions,
was concerutd, while that objection
able resolution was included, hie vote
must be considered meiely perfunc
tory aud under a decided protect, and
he would consider himself to be per
mitted further on to apply bis own
Obstruction to tba‘ resolution when
the nomination came to be consider
ed, He would leserve the right to
individual Judgment as to such nom

administration had couuuiltfcd
ita very worst blunder in
declining to furnish papers
but he was unwilling to make that
error on part of an executive who
was striving, perhaps, to give the
o mutry a good admiuis ration,an x-
cuse for a still more serious error on
the part of tbe senate. It would be
