Washington, July 31.—The house as the regular order of business resumed the consideration of the conference report upon the river and harbor hill, and the ac companying explanatory statement was read: Hatch, rising to a point of order, sent to the clerk’s desk and had read the instruc tions given the conference committee by the house relative to the Hennepin, Stur geon Bay, Potomac hats and other clauses of the river and harbor appropriation bill. The point of ordei’ he made was that the report of the conference committee was in violation of every single in struction given by ' the * house, and therefore was not in order and should not be received. If this report was re ceived no confidence could hereafter be placed in a conference committee. Since the first day of the first session of the first congress no such record had ever been made by a conference committee. It stood alone without a sigle precedent. It had no precedent, and he trusted it would nev er nave an imitator. He held that the house conferees were bound in honor by the instructions of the house and could not exceed those instructions. Blanchard, of Louisiana, one of the con ferees, resented Hatch's imputation upon the honor of the conferees. The house had said that the conferees should insist upon a disagreement to certain amendments, and they had insisted and used every per suasion and every honorable means to carry out the instructions of the house. It. was only when the majority of the house, conferees saw that the bill was about to be lost, involving a loss of millions of dollars to the government, that they receded from their disagreement with certain important modifications. The speaker said that while under recent practice the house might instruct its con ferees, it might afterwards desire to re verse that instruction. This might be done upon the conferees’ report, and as the effect of the pending report was to bring the matter again before the house for its action, he was of the opinion that the point of order was not well taken. Hatch raised the question of considera tion against the report, but the bouse—111 to 14—decided to consider it. Wills, of Kentucky, a member of the conference committee, said that he bad declined to sign the report because he honestly believed that if it were ratified by the House it would be not only the end of this 'oil!, but the end of every river and harbor bill in the future. He appealed to every friend of rivers and harbors to vote down this conference report. If that were done before sunset to-day there would be another report free from the objectionable features. The house then—yeas 102, nays 136—re fused to agree to the report of the confer ence committee, and upon motion ol Wil lis the house further insisted upon its dis agreement to the senate amendment and a further conference was ordered. Randall, from the committee on appro priations, reported a joust resolution ex- tending until the 10th of August the pro visions of the joint resolution providing temporarily for the expenditures of the government. He asked for immediate consideration, but Hisoock, of New York, objected, audit was referred to the fcom- mittee of the whole. Paysoii, of Illinois, from the committee on public lands, reported back the alien landlord hill, it provides that no non resident, alien or foreigner, nor any resi de nt. alien or foreigner who has not de clared his intention to become a citizen of the Oiled States, nor any corporation or association where at most one-tenth of its stock or right of property is owned or con- t rolled by aliens or foreigners, shall acquire or own, bold or possess by right, title or descent accruing thereafter, any real estate in any of the territories of the United •Slate's; provided that the provisions of this act shall not apply to real estate necessary for the construction and operation of any railroad. The bill was passed—yens 209, nays fi. i'he speaker announced the appoint ment ol Reagan, Crisp, and Weaver of Ne braska, as conferees on the interstate com merce bill, and the appointment of Willis, Blanchard and Henderson, of Illinois, as confereeson the river and harbor bill. Blajirhard asked that under the circum stances the house would excuse him from acting as a conferee. His colleague, Hen derson, also desired to be excused. The gentlemen were excused, and Willis, Glover and Markham were .appointed eon- On niotieii of Morrison the senate amendment to the surplus joint resolution was noil-concurred in and a conference or dered. Tiie speaker appointed Morrison, Brecikenridge of Kentucky, and Hiscock as coufej'eos. Forney, of Alabama, from .the commit tee on appropriations, reported back the fortification appropriation bill with senate amendments with the recommendation that all the amendments he non-concurred the committee might give hearings next session to the representutivi ; - > the trade. The bill was recommit 1 .and the sen ate then, at 2:-i0, went i . > secret session. At tii.'IQ p. m. the doors were reopened and the senate adjourned.

In December, 1SS5, an arti cle warned the workingmen not to assem ble on May 1st unless armed. In the latter article, penned by Spies, i he warned all the workingmen to j tnoroughly arm themselves and be pre- | pared to light the police, Pinkerton de tectives and the malitia on May 1st.

The read ing of an editorial signed by Spies directed against the justice of the appellate ! court and threatening him with death by dyna mite, owing to his decision in favor of a railway company as against an injured em ploye, caused .he first move of merriment among the defendants during the fore noon.

You can see him later:” “Boys, stick together !” etc. Mayor Harri son being in court, the following inscrip tion on another banner created considerable amusement and caused the mayor to smile.

Washington, July 31.—The senate took up Hoar’s resolution from the library com mittee, for the appointment of a commit tee to inquire into the expediency of a plan for celebrating the hundredth anniversary of the constitution, and four hundredth ot the discovery of America. The resolution was modified, at the sug gestion of Hawley, so as to direct a com mittee of seven—of whom, one shall he the presiding officer of the senate—to con sider the expediency of properly cele brating at the capitol of the republic these two illustrious anniversaries, and it said celebration be dsemea expedient, shall re port on the method, cost and general plan thereof at the next session of congress, and was adopted—yeas 41, nays 12. The select committee on the proposed celebration of the 100th anniversary of the constitution (in 1889) and the 400th ol the discovery of America in 1892) was an nounced. It consists of Sherman, Hoar, Sewell, Hawley, Voorhees, Gorman and Eustis. The conference committee on the sur plus” resolution was also announced as Allison, Aldrich aud Beck. The senate took up the house bill to amend the law as to the mode of packing and selling cut tobacco, and Eustis ad dressed the senate in favor of the bill. Aldrich moved its recommittal to the committee on finance, as it was charged that the bill would open the door to great frauds. „ Palmer presented the remonstrances ot large tobacco houses in Detroit against it. Peek favored its recommittal, so that thorities at Chihuahua will brook no interference from the federal administration, •or even from President Diaz personally. They will not even listen to friendly suggestions. As matters now stand Cutting will certainly be sentenced too longterm ofknprisonment and carried to Chihuahua to serve out the term.
