Civil Appropriation Hill—Pr«nlile«t Clnrlind L'mcb the Toto Power nod Tell" Hhjr lie Pom It—Mmmron. Other SHtteni of Ueneml Intcreet. Washington, D. C., June 21.—The speaker laid before the house a com munication from the acting secretary of the treasury submitting an estimate appro priation amounting to $628,714 for the transportation of mails on non-subsidized railroads controlled by the Central Pacific railroad company. Referred. On motion of Townshend, of Illinois, the senate amendments to the pension appro priation bill were non-concurred in. Town- hbend, Wilson and Long were appointed conferees. The bouse having resumed consideration of the naval appropriation bill, rejected veas 99, nays 131) the motion made Satur day by Goff, of West Virginia, to recommit the bill with instructions to the committee on naval affairs to report it back with an amendment making provisions for the completion of the double turretted moni tors. The bill was passed. At the conclusion of the call of states for the introduction of bills and resolutions,on motion of Randall, of Pennsylvania, the house went into committee of tne whole on the sundry civil bill. There was no gener al debate on the measure, though it was agreed that when clauses were readied rel ative to public surveys the five minute rule would not be held to apply. The bill was then read by paragraphs for amendment, and a number of changes made both of in sertion and omission, chiefly affecting local interests. The paragraph relative to the bureau of engraving and printing having been reached, Dingley, of Maine, offered tin amendment requiring the engraving of notes of the denomination of ft and $2 and other denominations authorized by law. Randall raised the points of order against the amendment, and in the course of Ids argument took occasion to deny the charge that the present administration had waged war on the silver dollar. The amendment was ruled out. and on an appeal the decision of the chair was sustained. Warner, of Ohio, offered a similar amend ment, which met with a similar fate. Warner then attempted to evade the point of order by modifying the amend ment so as to authorize the issue of $1 and ill notes in place of mutilated and cancelled notes of a like denomination. Randall raised tne point of order against this amendment also, declaring I bat the avowed object of the proposition was to compel a different administration of the law than was practiced at. present, and therefore changed the existing law. After some discussion the speaker over ruled Randall’s point of order, a vote was taken and the amendment was lost—75 to Warner then offered an amendment of similar purport, but pending action tilt tn nil n it tea rose. Zavli Taylor, of Tennessee, offered n res olution reciting the fact that tin- lower portion of the city of Memphis has been in part destroyed by the caving of the bank " the Mississippi river al (hut point, and providing foi a loan to the properly au thorized officers of the taxing district ot •Shelby county all or enough of barge boats, tools, implements and appliances under the control of the Mississippi river commission to be used in improving the rivt r below Peel street in that city. The resolution was adopted. The house at 5 o’clock adjourned. Semite. Washington, June 21.—George, from the committee on judiciary, reported fa vorably the bill to remove the political dis abilities of J. G. Flournoy, of Mississippi, and on motion of George the bill was at once passed, the vote being unanimous. Frye, from the committee on rules, re ported favorably the Edmunds resolution providing for such amendment to the rules us to admit of debate on a motion to recon sider. The resolution was agreed to and the rules amended accordingly. The army appropriation bill was report ed from the house of representatives with a message of non-concurrence in the senate amendments, and asking a conference. The senate insisted on its amendments, and the chair appointed Logan. Plumb and Gorman as a conference committee. T!ie consular mid diplomatic appropria tion bill was received from the house with a message of non-concurrence. The senate insisted on its amendments and ordered a conference. Plumb gave notice that on Wednesday he would call up the conference report on : the post office appropriation bill. A number of veto messages _ were re ceived from the president which, when i read, were laid upon the table. The bill to repeal the pre-emption and; timber acts was then taken up and its con sideration proceeded with. The bill was discussed until 6:15, when, without action, the senate went into an ■ executive session. At 6:40 the doors were reopened and the senate adjourned. Fifteen Velars. Washington, June 21.—Fifteen veto I messages were senl to congress to-day, i thirteen of private pension bills and two of public buildings bills. Why lie Vrtucs Tlirm. Washington, June 21.—The president to-day sent to congress fifteen veto mes- ■‘■uges. six of which were (<> the senate and "ail! to the house. In his message vetoing the bill granting a pension to Elizabeth J. DeKraff, the president -ays his objection is that the bill is of no possible advantage to the beneficiary and that the present pen sion laws give her all tIn*advantages \vhich she would receive under the special law. The president adds: “lam so thoroughly tired of disapproving gifts of the public money to individuals, who. in my view, have no right or claim to the same, not withstanding the apparent coiigveBsion.il sanction, that I interpose with a feeling of relief in a case where I find it unnecessary to determine the merits of the application, in speaking of promiscuous and ill-advised grants of pensions which have lately been presented to me for approval, I have spoken of their apparent congressional sanction in recognition of the fact that a urge proportion of these bills have never » en submitted to a majority of either ir anch of congress, but are the result ol nominal sessions held for the express pur pose of their consideration and attended by a small minority of the members f f the respective houses of tlie legislative branch of the government. Thus in considi-i’ing this bui 1 have not felt that I was aided ov t in deliberate judgment of congress, and when 1 have deemed it my duty to disapprove many of the bills presented, I have hardly regarded my action as a dissent from the Conclusions’of the people's repr ■ eii'ui-v -. 1 Ivive not been insensible to tie- - I rg -- t-ous which should influence ■i "> i i. n whether in n private station or official , place, to exhibit not only a just, but gener ous appreciation of the services I of your country’s defenders in renewing pension legislation pre sented to me. Many bills have been approved upon the theory that every i doubt should be resolved iu favor of the proposed beneficiary. I have not, how- ever, been able to entirely divest myself of the idea that public money appropriated for pensions is the soldiers' fund which should be devoted to indemnification of those who, in the defense of the union and j the nation’s service, have worthily de- \ served it, and who, in the day of their de pendence resulting from such suffering, I are entitled to the benefactions of their government. This reflection lends to the | Bestowal of pensions a kind of sacredness ; which Invited the adoption of such prinei- ■ pies and regulations as will exclude a per- 1 version as well as insure a liberal and generous application i of grateful and benevolent designs. The j heedlessness and disregard of the princi ples which underlies the granting of pen sions is unfair to the wounded, crippled j soldier who is honored in just recognition of his government. Such a man should | j never find himself side by side on tht pen- l sion roll with those who have been tempted to attribute their natural ills to which hu manity is heir to service iu the army. “Every relaxation in the granting'of pen sions invites applications without merit i anil encourages those who, for gain, urge honest men to become dishonest. Thus is 1 the demoralizing lesson taught the people, 1 j that as against the public treasury the most questionable expedients are allow able. “During the present session of congress 493 special pension bills have been submit ted to me, and 1 am advised that 111 more have received tlm favorable action of both houses of congress and will be presented within a day or two, making over WX) of these bills which have been passed up to this time during the present session, near ly three times the number missed at any entire session since 1881. With tlie peii ' sion bureau fully equipped and regu- ] lated by the most liberal rules in active op eration, supplemented in its work by con- I stunt special legislation, it certainly is not ! unreasonable to suppose that in all tlie j years that have elapsed since the close of of the war a majority of' the meritorious claims for pen- ! sions have been presented ami | determined. I have now more than 130 of these bills before me awaiting executive I action. It will be impossible to bestow | upon them all the examination they dc- J serve and many will probably become op- 1 endive which should be rejected. In the I meantime I venture to suggest the signifi- | eatice of the startling increase in this kind if legislation and the consequences involv ed in its continuance.” The bills providing for the erection of I public buildings, at Zanesville, O., and j Aioux City, Iowa, were vetoed fertile reasons that no federal officers were located I at either place e xcept postmasters, and ; he postal business of those places does not j warrant tlie erection of.buildings oy the } government for the special aecoinmoda- [ ’.ion of the post office. The pr, sided says: | “Tlie public buildings now til process . of construction, numbering Kill, involving | constant supervision, are all the building i projects which the government ought to nave on hand at one time, unless a very | palpable necessity exists to," increasing the i lumber. The multiplication of these, structures involves not only the appropriu- , lion made for their completion, but great i -xpunse in their earn and preservation i .hereafter. While n fine government building is a desirable ornament to any I own or city, and while the securing of an j ippropriation then for is often considered ' is an illustration of zeal and activity in tin. nterest of constituency, I am of the opin on that the expenditure ol public money j for such purpose should depend upon tin 1 necessity of such buildings for public uses.” | Iiivali.l IVashin llill. Washington, June 21.—The house com mittee on invalid pensions to-day agreed | to the amalgamated substitute' for the lllair bill pensioning disabled soldiers witli the bill to increase the rate of the pension of soldiers who have lost a leg or arm, and attach to the combined bills a clause im posing an income tax to meet the expendi tures involved. The clause is patterned after the income tax bill introduced in the 47th or 48th congress by Generul Ewing. I'he statistics collected at the time the bill was introduced indicated (hat a revenue of $63,000,000 per annum could lie raised in 'bis way. If the bill can be passed prompt- ' iy it is expected by the committee that it I will prepare the wav for favorable action ; on the bill to extent) the date within which i claims for arrears of pensions may bo filed, as the necessary ri venue to pay the claims j will be available.

Representative Bragg, of Wisconsin, was chosen chairman and K 1*. McCrea the secretary of the conference. Speaker Carlisle opened the proceedings with a stirring speech, urging toe mem beVs to stai d linn in tbeir pin pose of teri H reform aiid pointing out tne neuebsit y of united and harmonious action. Cox. of North Carolina, offered n resolu tion instructing Morrison to renew his motion to consider the tariff bill to-moi- ro\v. Considerable opposition was mani fested, however, and as Morrison himself expressed a desire to be left free to *act in the matter as seemed best to him, the res olution was Anally withdrawn. Morrison then moved that tlie Lurid re form democrats select one member from each state to constitute a committee which shall consider the advisability of issuing ai; address to the country explanatory of the oosition of that element, the committee to report to another conference to ho held later in the present month. This motion gave rise to com id mbit discussion, mostly of a friendly nature, however, and Allen t of -Mississippi, said he realized the responsibility of his position as a leader of the majority, and dis trustful of his Jown (strength, he sought the appointment of a com mittee to relieve him by suggesting a plan of operations in the present emergency. The people demanded prompt, energetic action and less talk. In illustration, he told a story of fi Texas man indicted for the murder of a guest. When called on to plead the Texan told how thi st ranger had partaken of Ids aospitality and then revih-d and ’..suited his Household goods.

New York, Juno 20.—Mr. Joseph Me dill, editor ofthe Chicago Tribune, was at the Fifth Avenue hotel this afternoon, making preparations to leave to-morrow for Europe. He was in excellent humor when approached by a reporter. “Wlmt Is the outlook for 1<S88, eh?” he said, “Well, this is, to use an agricultural phrase, the mid-harvest time,bet ween hay ing anti reaping, so I can only tell how the present outlook appears. The west is solid tnd unanimous for Blaine, and will be un til the convention meets. Tfvou ask any one about 1888 lie will say, ‘The old ticket,’ meaning Blaine and Logan. You may hear that remark every where, in all sections, and there e.in be no mistake as to the general feeling. ‘ i'he old ticket’ is echoed on the street cor ners, in the shops, among the farmers, and, indeed, wherever there are republican voters. Outside of New York state 1 can •-.peak positively. Blaine will have a solid delegation from every state. If New York sends a delegation for him there will be no ballot whatever, but his nomination will be made unanimous by a vising vote, like vlrant’s in 1808. Now York is the pivotal state, and Mr. Blaine has already proven tow strong he is and what a close run he can make. Tin south is solid, and there is uo use disguising the fact the republicans must carry New York. I do not know of any other man who cun create the enthusi asm and the admiration that Blaine would at the head of the ticket. He is so great the English plutocrats took a decided in terest in his defeat, and even now his words have become tlie theme for speeches in the pending contest for home rule. Ho made tne greatest homo rule speed) that has ever been nude in America, in fact that any man has ever made except (Jlad- slonc. He is the (iladstone of America, mil the people begin to realize nnu icknowledge him ns their leader, lie .s nearer tlie people, democratic, and ■ I posed to the aristocratic rulers »f England. That is why those English nobles dislike him. If Mr. (limi- ton e could secure his services to make •ipccebes with him throughout his eam- ii’iign, he no doubt would disarm tlie Brit ish of tin ir prejudice and pain t housandsof otes for homo rule. Blaine’s everyact’on ! lows his eminent tit ness na a statesman, fe i.. quick to decide in international ques- ions licit will idmit of no delay, and has he determination and siamina that go to ; lake t he (undrmental principles of a lead r. li will be a tidal wave in his favor hat the country cannot resist. Logan will be put on the ticket for vice-president, lie •nay object, but all the s>me the place will be given to him.” ney’s office said this evening concerning this rumor: ‘‘It is the most arrant non sense from beginning to end. Of course t hese men would he glad to have Waite out of the wav, and no doubt would be willing to make up a purse of flO.OOO and 2my #200 a month, or even a greater sum, to accomplish their purpose, but there if no chance whatever that any such scheme can be carried out. Waite is still in the custody of the court, and will be pro duced whenever lie is wanted. The in- dieted men have good reason to fear the testimony which he will give; but even if they should get him out of the country, their money would he spent for nothing, for the prosecution is prepared at the proper time to introduce other testimony which will he just as convincing as that which Waite will give.” TENNESSEE POLITICS.
