The Consideration of Appropriation Rill* in Doth Hmukck—Mr. Edmunds Introduces h Verj ( umhersome Hill -Partisan Justices mid Judges tn be tillru the Cower of Ueniovul, V.tf. Washington. June 30.—Boyle, of Penn sylvania, from the Pan Electric commits tee, submitted a report signed by four members of the committee upon the sub ject of its investigation. It is accompanied by the following resolution: ‘Resolved, That a full, fair and exhaust ive investigation has failed to adduce any evidence which tends to show that Attor ney Oenpral Garland, Solictor General Goode, Secretary Lamar, Indian Commis sioner Atkins, ‘ Railroad Commissioner Johnstone, or Senator Harris, they being the officers named in the Pan Electric pub lications of the newspaper press which gave rise to this investigation, did any act, official or otherwise, connected with the matter investigated which was dishonest, dishonorable or censurable. The report and the resolution, which is concurred in by Hale, were referred to the house calendar. Ranney, of Massachusetts, also submitted a report signed by four republican mem bers of the committee. Hale, of Missouri, presented his individ ual views. These reports were placed upon the cal endar. Reed, of Maine, reserved all the points of order against the resolution accompany ing Boyle’s report, and Ranney, stating that the resolution had never been sub mitted to the committee or acted upon by it, also reserved all points. Boyle said that the resolution hud been presented with the consent of the gentle man from Massachusetts, who had express ly waived any meeting of the committee. ‘ Ranney replied thut that was true as far as the report was concerned, but he had never seen or heard of the resolution be fore. Boyle thereupon asked to withdraw the report and resolution, but Hale objected. After a few committee reports the house went into a committee of the whole on the sundry civil appropriation bill. The - committee rose for the purpose of enabling Randall to present and the house to pass the joint resolution to provide for 10 days from to-day the last day of the fiscal year: for the expenditures of the government not provided for in the appro priation bills already passed. This having been done, the committee resumed its session. The committee, having reached the last page of the bill, rose. Belmont, of New York, submitted the conference report on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill, and it was agreed to. Wilson, of West Virginia, submitted the conference report on the District of Colum bia appropriation bill and it was agreed in. The house then, at *i o'clock, adjourned. Senate. Washington, June 30.—The senate pro ceeded to the consideration of Platt’s reso lution for public executive sessions, and the speech of Morrill, who is sick and absent. tt the pi oposed change was read bj Manderson. Morrill thought that Lis friend from Connecticut Platt, was in this matter immensely wrong. At the conclusion of the reading of Mor rill's speech, Hoar spoke at great length in opposition to Platt’s resolution. When he had concluded two pension vetoes were laid before the senate and referred to the pension committee. The conference report on the consular and diplomatic appropriation bill was submitted bv Allison and agreed to. The chair laid before the senate a joint resolution extending the appropriation for ten days. Edmunds objected to the second reading of the joint resolution for reasons which he said he would state to-morrow. The senate proceeded to consider the legislative appropriation bill. In the course of the discussion on amendments inc-reas ing the clerical force of some of the de partments, Beck declared he felt humil iated by the fact that many of the appro priations were diminished so that the members of the house might be able to g-> tn the country and say how. economical they were and how extravagant the senate was. He also criticised the house for its delay in passing appropriation bills. The sundry civil appropriation bill was not yet sent to the senate. The legislative bill ‘was in its present condition on the last day of the fiscal year. The naval bill had not yet been considered. The deficiency bill bad not been looked at. He was not proud of the record. Plumb said that the house took all the time it needed, and then it launched ap propriation bills on the senate without giv ing the senate time to consider them. The legislative bill should have had much more consideration than the senate appropriations committee had been able to give it. It had to take many things blind ly. He thought it would lie a good idea for the senate and the house to remain in on till Sentember, October or Novell the treasury, director of the mint, supei- vising inspector general o ’- • unboats, su pervising surgeon gene . itor general; 1 chiefs ol the bureaus o ordnance, equip ment and recruiting yaids and docks, pro- I visions and clothing, medicine and surgery, ; and construction and repairs of the navy department; commissioners of Indian af- i fairs, of the general land office, patents, | pensions, education, railroads, agriculture: public printer, members of the national j board of health and civil service commis sioners. Each officer so appointed shall I hold his office for four years. They may ! be suspended or removed in the following i manner: Only whenever the president or head of the department in or under which the officer serve shall have reason to be lieve that such officer has been guilty of malpractice in office or neglect of duty, or of any official or personal mis conduct rendering it injurious to the pub lic interests for him longer to hold such office. He may temporarily suspend such officer by an order of suspension in writing setved on him, or if he cannot be found, by depositing the same, at his official place of business, in every such case of suspension, or in The Report of the Democratic Members of the Committee.

Ottawa, Ont., June 30.—The Montreal Gaz-.-tte. owned by Hon. Thomas White, a momijor of the Canadian cabinet, to-day, in a special dispatch from Ottawa, denies or. behalf of the dominion government the statements that there has been any back down or. the fishery question. The follow ing is the text of the denial and explana tion of the recent circular, anu may safely be considered official: I am authorized to deny that any change has taken place in the policy of the do minion government in reference to tiie protection of our fisheries in the line of less vigorous enforcement of the law. I am authorized, on the highest authority, to deny the statement that the British government has interfered with or re stricted the action of the Canadian govern ment in the policy adopted by it. No sub stantial change has taken place in the in structions issued for the enforcement of the statutes enacted for carrying out the provisions of the treaty of 1813, the recent circular to collectors of customs having merely been to make plain certain matters of interpretation. It is now, as it has always been, the policy of the government that any United States fishing vessel found fishing, preparing to fish or having been fishing in Canadian waters will be seized at once and without warn ing. The twenty-four hours’ warning is applicable solely to United States vessels hovering within the limits. These receive orders to depart within the twenty-four hours. When, however, an offense has been committed, as by fishing; preparing to fish, trading, buying bait, transshipping cargoes, shipping men, &c., seizure or prosecution will follow without the warn ing or the lapse of the twenty-four hours. Any United States fishing vessel being within Canadian waters for any purpose except the four permitted by the treaty of IMs are amenable to the law, and the law will be strictly enforced in all such cases.

Washington, June 30.—Chairman Boyle, of the Pan Electric telephone com mittee, to-day presented to the house a re port on the results of the investigation signed by himself und Oates, Eden and Hall. Beginning with the first publication touching the Pan Electric company,report says: It appears from Sypher’s testimony that ho furnished the original history to Professor Bell with the hope that it might lead to his employment by the Boll com pany, while Hill, professing friendship for Garland, prepared the other articles at tacking him in relation to other matters and tried to sell them to the newspapers, but did not succeed. After copious extracts from the evidence given by Pulitzer, Dana and Jones, the report reaches the conclu sion that neither the Bell or the Pan Elec tric company, or their agents have at tempted to improperly influence the offi cials throgh the press. An exhaustive history of the organiza tion of the I’an Electric company is given, and after reference to the comparisons that have been made between G ind and his associates, Carlisle, Randall . johers, the report says: What Dr. Rogers offered, to Carlisle ‘ and others was stock in incorporated and organized companies. What he transferred to Garland, Harris and others was an interest in inventions in their condition of no value whatever, and only to be made valuable by the joint efforts of Rogers and those who joined them in the undertaking. That the capi tal of the telephone company was fixed at $5,000,000 is wholly immaterial. Had it been fixed at $5000 the thing they owned, and their proportionate interests in it would have been the same. The property itself might turn out worth much or nothing. As Dr. Rogers says, it had no commercial value. The evidence does not show that these gentlemen were ad mitted by Messrs. Rogers with any expec tation of profiting by their official posi tion or official action. The Atkins party, to whom they made a proposition, was not ill office. They certainly expected no official aid from him. It was Atxins who spoke to Senator Harris, so that Rogers did not select him because he was a sena tor. The right to select the other three was given ab solutely to Harris, and no condition was imposed that he should select persons in office. At that time Garland was not thought of for attorney-general. He was suggested by Atkins, and it need hardly be said in view of his previous life and his character that it was not thought that he would use his official power to forward a private enterprise in which he was inter ested. Casey Young was named by Rogers. He was not to appear in congress until nearly a year after. General John son was not in office and did not expect to be. If official influ ence was the consideration.for the inter ests transferred to Harris and Gariaud, what was the consideration for those transferred to Atkinson and Johnston? Tiie committee has failed to find that any legislation was contemplated at the time this company was formed, or during its existence up to the present time, by which it or its members could possibly have prof ited. The only matter spoken of was in relation to the establishment of a postal telegraph by the government. This had been agitated for some years. When mentioned. Senator Harris stated to his associates that if it come up in the senate he would make known his interest ill the matter and de cline to vote, so that nothing was expected from him, and according to the tcaoimouy of all the parties nothing was expected from anyone of the members. There is no evidence that Garland ever heard oi it. The question never did get before either body of congress, and it is not pretended that any member of the company did any thing to aid it, or that any member favored the project. Touching the bill providing for suits in the name of the government, it is said that it will require a good deal of ingenuity to deduce from the testimony of Senator Platt that Senator Garland favored the passage of the bill. The effort to have young Rogers appointed electrician of the house, the report characterizes as a matter so unimportant that perhaps it should not be alluded to at all. Although, it says, Gar land admmitted that it was one of his pur poses in recommending Rogers to have telephones put in tiie house, he did not think there was any harm to tic done in putting them there, or that anything improper was to be gained by it, and what would have been the harm if Rogers had been appointed and if telephones had been placed in the capital? No legislation was asked, or so far as the committee can see, was possible in the interest of the telephone company, and if it had been, h.,,\ could the presence of Rogers and his telephones in the capital have influenced it? In summing up the evidence touching tliis branch of the inquiry the repoit says: “The committee docs not rec-ufi that evi dence was given or that any allusion lias lias been made respecting any other mat ter in or about congress, or which could bate been affected by legislation in which the I’a:i Electric Telephone company or its members could by any possibility have be:... cstc-il." The report finds nothing unusual in the me ... .. b I , Rogers for developing their hi■ cn;ions and bringing them into use ami to attention of tilt- public. Uni.i'oi.lcfliy l)r. lingers expected to profit bv association with gen tlemen of Known ability aim distinction, but, the report asks, “did they intend tn use their powers a- politic officers to (in - tiier private enterprises in which they en gaged? I )id t hey intend to prostitute t In ir honorable reputations and t heir high posi - tions to force and impose upon the gov ernment or the public worthless inventions and to obtain money by fraudulent and dishonest practices? In other words, did these men to whom wrong doing ban never before been imputed and who are -d now by those who have given tin he cannot be held to have done anything ] deserving of censure. I It is in evidence that the Bell patents Were disposed of and the Bell Company was organized just ns the Pail-Electric Were. When the Bell Company had reached a no more advanced stage of development than the Pan Elec- trict did, Hubbard and Sanders had paid no more than have the gentlemen con nected with the latter company. It is also said that the Bell interests were assigned to business men, while the Pan Electric in terests were assigned to politicians. What were the occupations of Hubbard and San ders, the committee does not know. It does not appear that they were business men. It was stated by Dickerson, of counsel for the Bell company, in his argu ment in the New Orleans suit that Hub bard was then bankrupt, and that Bell did not have money enough to go to market with. While the gentlemen to whom the Pan-Eleetric interests were assigned were not men of great wealth, they were all in comfortable circumstances and abundantly able to contribute what money might , be nseessary to develop Rogers’ ; inventions and to perform their parts of the contract with him. They were busi- I ness men, aide lawyers, and could not be J called politicians only eenuse some of them were, in public office. Out of this I Bell organization thus commenced has | grown in the course of a few years one of the most stupendous monopolies in the I-world. A HEAVY DEFALCATION. The (lu-siipi'iike mill llehnvurc Citnnl Company Ki,lilii il «f Over $1100.000. Philadelphia, June 30.—A hasty sum moning of the members of the borad of di rectors of the Chesapeake and Helaware Canal company at an early hour this fore noon, created a stir ill financial circles, and the report quickly flew about that a heavy defalcation had been discovered in the ac counts of one of the officers. The com pany is one of the oldest and was in earlier times one of the wealthiest corporations in he Middle States, holding a charter under the legislatures of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. The first rumor that reach ed the street was that Treasurer James A. L. Wilson had defaulted in his accounts to the extent ot $178,000. The facts as subsequently ascertained more ac curately were that an over issue of bonds to the amount of $015,280 was made under the thirtv-year mortgage loan of the com pany of July, 1850, for $2,800,000. The loan matures to-morrow, and preparations hav ing been made ior its extension, a return of the bonds for certification to-day wou>d have revealed the over-issue.Treasurer Wil son did not appear at the office to-day, but oil his desk was a note containing a con fession of guilty knowledge of the fraudu lent transaction. He left tiie city last night, it is alleged,in company with Henry V. Lesley, former treasurer, under whose administration the over issue was made. Wilson is about sixty-five years of age, and for over thirty years has been connected with tiie Chesapeake and Delaware Canal company, having been its treasurer since 1883, when he succeeded Lesley.

VntcroKttiur Discovery of the Drove of n Miami Warrior. i i Wabash, Hid., June 30.—There is much I excitement in the southern part of this , | county over the finding of the skeleton of ' an Indian chief who was killed in the In- i dian war of 1812. A farmer named Daniel I I Swazee discovered the bones while walk- I ing along the bank of the Mississenewa river. The skull protruded out of the bank 1 at a point Where it had caven off. Swuzee ; | nt once notified William Peconga, chief of , the Miami Indians, who have a reserva tion in this county, of his find, and by the j chief’s direction the skeleton, which was j in perfect condition, was removed from its , hiding place. It was wrapped in blankets ‘ I and encased in a large trough hewn out of | 1 a buckeye log. i THE GRAVE OP A GREAT CHIEF. 1 At the head of the skeleton wnsefound a ! I bucket of war paint, and ranged along its j side were the following articles: An old fashioned silk handkerchief, a tin plate, j two silver bracelets of plain design, a sil- i ver spoon in wood case, a beautiful silver necklace of elaborate design, two sets of leg bands, made of silver and used in war dances; four silver thimbles, three plain silver finger rings, a large funnel-shaped ! silver teapot, a tomahawk, with handle 1 tipped with silver, carved in elegant dc- ) j signs, and several other interesting Imple- i ments of ancient warfare. A number of j relic hunters laid eager hands upon these ■ treasures, but they were repelled by the remnant of the Miamis under the leader ship of Chief Peconga. Tiie bones and relics were left in tin- rude coffin just us found, and were re- | interred at a point a lew feet back from the river. Indian sentinels arc religiously 1 guarding the grave.

Just twenty-five years ago to-day, James Gibbons was or dained priest in the chapel of St. Mary’s Seminary in this city by Archbishop Ken drick, and on this, his silver jubilee, lie re ceived from the hands of the venerable archbishop of St. Louis, the insignia of his high dignity. The ceremony took place in the noble old cathedral in which, as an apostolic delegate, he recently di rected the deliberations of the plenary council, the most notable gathering of di vines this country has ever seen, and in which has taken place many of the most imposing ceremonies that have occurred in the United States. The great services of Archbishop Gibbons at the council were to-day rewarded, and the investiture of beretta was the occasion of an ecclesias tical demonstration thut is not likely to be again witnessed in many years. The weather was cloudy, hut pleasant, and long before the hour appointed for the ceremony the streets near the cuthedral were thronged with people. It required a large force of police to keep the streets clear, but the best of order was main tained, and as the cardinal passed from his palace to the church the assembled thou sands stood in respectful silence with heads uncovered. At 10:30 the students of St. Charles college, headed by a guard of honor selected from the Young Catholic Friends Society and the Catholic Benevolent Legion, marched out of St. Alphonsus hall on Saratoga street. They were followed by lfxJ semi narians of St. Sulpice and several hundred of the regular and secular clergy, all robed in black with white casliocks. They were preceded by the procassional cross and censor hearers and took up a line of march to the arch episcopal palace by way of Cathedral, Franklin and St. Charles streets. As the end of the line passed the palace it was joined bv the noble procession of Monsignori Mitrad. abbots, right reverend bishops nnd most reverend archbishops. Archbishop Ken drick, of St. Louis, apostolic delegate, was accompanied by his assistants, Rev. Thos. S. Lee, rector of the cathedral, with his chaplains, Rev. John Foley, of Mar tins, and Rev. Father Hennessy, of St. Louis. Then came Monsigneur Straniero, papal obligate, wearing robes of royal purple, in line with the venerable Archbishop Williams, of Boston, and last in the line was his eminence, the cardinal, attended by his assistant and priest, Mon- seigneur Edward McColgal, vicar general of the arch diocese, and his deacons of honor, Very Rev. Alfred Magnier, superior of the -Sulpiciai Academy, and Rev. B. J. McManus, pastor of St. John’s church. On the extreme right of the last line was Count Mueciola, iff the brilliant uniform of the noble guard. He wore a short coat of scarlet cloth, heavily trimmed with gold cord, tight-fitting chamois trousers, with boots, spurs and sword. In his hand he carried the showy gold helmet of his guard, lie- walked erect, and with his dignified bear ing was the most conspicuous figure in the procession. The bisnops and archbishops wore their robes of royal purple and many were at tended by a train of bearers. In tiie rear of the cardinal were boys carrying his train and the custodians of the insignia of his rank. The master of ceremonies was Rev. J. S, McCullen, of St. Mary’s seminary, who officiated at all the cere monies of the late plenary council and who is considered the highest authority on Roman ceremonials in this country. Lord Baltimore council No. 45, C. B. L., brought up the rear of the line. After passing the cardinal’s palace the procession turned slowly into Mulberry street, passed back to Cathedral street and entered the cathedral from the west through the stone portico and main vesti bule, reaching the middle aisle just as the clock in the tower chimed the hour of eleven. Among the many distinguished prelates taking part in the ceremonies were Arch bishops Frehan, Chicago; Loray, New Or leans; Williams, Boston; Heiss. Milwaukee; l-'abre. Montreal; Lynch, Toronto; Corigan, New York; Elder, Cincinnati; Ryan, Phil adelphia, and Gross, of Oregon; Bishops Rogers, of Chatham, N.

TIIK CEREMONY. 1 The old cathedral in Baltimore, Md., has been the scene of many important events ; in the history of the Catholic Church in America. Many archbishops and bishops have received the insignia of the hierarchy within its sanctuary, and tin* great plenary councils have there been held. Archbishop Gibbons, however, was the first to receive the cardinal’s hat in the Baltimore cathe dral. The ceremony took place on Wedm. *- day, dune 150, this date being also the ‘doth anniversary of the priesthood <>f Arch bishop (iibhons, and it was an imposing event. The bearer of the Idt* tt:i from leline was Mgr. G maim H r in.to, .’.ceomn.u.it *1 In- Cm,,,; i-i'.. - Mm ctii, of th • pont ill a i m.l.V pontifical mass, sung by one of the bishops, and Archbishop Gibbons assisted at his throne, vested in the archiepiscopal pur ple for the last time. Then, when the mass was over, the commission delivered their papers and their precious gift to the hands of an archbishop, who had been selected by the holy see, and the documents were read. At their conclusion the scarlet beretta was placed on the head of the arch bishop and then he was and is James Car dinal Gibbons. He then retired and di vesting himself of the archiepisco pal purple, c-anie in again dressed entirely in the scarlet robes of the cardinalate. The cardinals have three dis tinct sets of robes, which they wear ac cording to the time ofthe year. His emi nence having taken his seat on the throne, nil the prelates and clergy, secular ami regular, approached, and kneeling, kiss I the hand of him who represents the majesty of Rome. Then the cardinal bless ed all in the cathedral with the apostolic benediction, sent by the pope forthis pur pose. THE CARDINAL’S DRESS. Archbishop Gibbons has become a cardi nal bishop. The cardinal’s dress consists of a tunic and mantle, a rochet or surplice of fine lace and a cap or three-cornered hat. The color of the dress is red, unless the cardinal belongs to a religious order, in which case he retains his habit, but uses the same form ot dress as the others. Innocent IV. conferred on the cardinals the distinction of the now famous red hat, which is so peculiarly the insignia of their rank that in common parlance to “receive the hat” is the same as to be raised to the cardinalate. The special meaning of the hat is that the pope places it upon the head, the seat of the brain, to warn the cardinal that he must give learned and loyal counsel to the government of the church, while its color signifies that the wearer must be prepared to loose the last drop of blood rather than betray its trust. This hat iB now one of the ceremony only and serves but twice—once when the car dinal receives it in consistory and next when it rests upon the catafalque at his obsequies. It is then suspended from the ceiling of the chapel or church in which he is buried. The form of the hat is round, with a low crown and wide stiff brim, from the inside of which han^; fifteen tassels, attached in a triangle, !rom one to five At the ceremony of giving the hat the pope says in latin: Receive for the glory of Almighty God and the adornment of the Holy Apostolic See this red hat, the sign ofthe unequalled dignity of the cardinalate, by which is de clared that even to death by the shedding of thy blood thou shouldst show thyself in trepid for the exaltation of the blessed faith. THE CARDINAL’S ORNAMENTS. One of the distinctive ornaments of a cardinal is the gold ring, set with a sap phire and engraved on the metal surface of the inside with the arms of the pope who has created him. The actual value of the ring is only $25, but for many cen turies the newly elected cardinal has been expected to give large sums of money for pious purposes, which varied in amounts under defferent popes. In the time of Pius VII. the amount was $7.30 of our money. The Roman cere monial shows the singular importance of the cardinalate by the disposition ordered to be made of its members even after death. It is prescribed that when life has departed a veil shall tie thrown over the face and that the body, dressed in chasuble if bishop or priest, shall lie in state. The ■ hat used in His creation must be deposited at his feet, and after his funeral be sus pended over his tomb. His body must be {aid in a cypress wood eorfin in tne pres ence of a notary and his official family, a member of which lays at his feet a little case- containing a scroll of parchment, on which has been written a brief ac count of the more important events of his life. Then the first coffin is enclosed in another of lead, and the two together in a thitd one of some kind of hard wood, each coffin having been sealed with the seals of the dead cardinal and of the living notary. Before the occupation of Rome by the Italian government the obsequies were very solemn and impress ive. The body was borne by night, with funeral pomp of carriages and torches and long array of chanting friars, to theChurch Requiem, where it remained until tiie day appointed for the mass, at which cardinals ana pope were present, the latter giving the final absolution. nil- THE OLD CATHEDRAL. The corner-stone ofthe old Cathedral of I Baltimore was laid July 7, 1806. by Bishop | Carroll. The site had beenthe camping j ground of a portion of the French troops ■ under Count Hochaw.heaii) ;d\wtho i surrender of Yorktcwn. remained n t , re uiril the close of the war. The cathedral ' ,.a“ Teen years building. It and the 1 arenieplscopa! residence, with the grounds attached, occupy one-half of the large square bounded by Cathedral, Franklin and Mulberry streets and Charles avenue. The cathedral faces the street named after it and the archiepiscopal residence oil Charles avenue—the two most fashionable thoroughfares in the city. The sanctuary, extending in front of the three altars, is very large, and needs to lie, as it ims frequently to accommodate from fifty lo a hundred priests and students from the seminary of St. Sulpice. THE ARCH I EPISCOPAL THRONE. The arc-hiepiseopal throne is not canopied with purple, but the hangings are in red silk and cloth. There will be no necessity tin- changing the colors when it becomes the episcopal seat of the cardinal. Under the main altar is a marble crypt, in which repose the remains of Archbishops Ken drick, Spalding. Bayley and other prelates. Their tomb is almost beneath tin- throne they occupied in iff- .
