Washington, August 4.—Morrison of-
ferred and the house unanimously iidoptod
the following resolution. “That the house
of representatives of the United States has
heard with profound sorrow of the death
of that eminent and distinguished citizen
Samuel J. Tilden.”
The senate amendments to the fortifica
tion appropriation bill were non concurred
in, and Forney. Randall, and Buttenvorth
were appointed conferees.
Morrison called up the c.onference re
port on the joint resolution. Morrison
thought the resolution as it passed the
house had been a wise and conservative
measure of public interest. The resolu
tion as agreed upon by the committee on
conference was, it seemed to him,
not so good a measure, yet in the
present condition of the treasury and that
bonded debt it would accomplish all this
would have been done under the resolu
tion as it passed the house.
The resolution made provision for a call
of such bonds as was subject to call. There
were $132,000,000 three per cent, bonds re
maining uncalled. By ten millions a call
they would all be taken up in thirteen
mouths and the resolution would have
executed itself. There would be
public debt until 1801 to

Washington, August 4.—Sewell, from
tne committee on library, reported a Joint
resoluhon accepting from William H. Van
derbilt and Julia Dent Grant objects of
< nd trt pre iente 1 by various .or#!gn
which it could apply. In Thet!'nvlNn t8 to . tll , e la A e Flysses 8,

these thirteen months $'50,000,0)0 of the
$132,000,000 would be taken up by the sink
ing fund. In those thirteen months the
surplus receipts of the government would
exceed $32,000,000, so that only $50,000,000
of the present surplus fund would bo re
quired to be taken out of the treasury i i
the thirteen months to extinguish the
debt; consequently at the end of thirte n
months all the debt that could be paid
would have been pain, and there would
still be $30,000,000 surplus in the treasury.
Therefore, the effect would be the same
whether the resolution were passed with
the $50,000,000 amendment or not. Another
amendment substituted the secretary of
the treasury for the president in the exer
cise of discretion in regard to postponing
calls. Because the treasury department I ,,a‘ss"mv h'iTl Vt all" Tt'wmdVi'n'.V t'

large discretion in the hands of the secre
tary, but the discretion was only to be ex

amount to such an extraordinary emer

Passed.
George moved to take up the house bills
to remove political disabilities.
Ingalls protested against what he culled
a ‘grab game” in farming out the floors.
He suggested either that senators should
be called alphabetically or that the calen
dar should be taken up regularly.
Cockrell suggested that the house bills
on the calendar unobjected to should be
taken up and passed.
Edmunds opposed the suggestion, saying
that the greatest possible service which the
dc
geucy. If the United States liaa u cut
throat with Mexico or a fishery war in Can
ada, and this money was paid out it would
not be the surplus in the treasury, but the
senate lias assumed that there might be a
contingency in which it might be neces
sary to postpone the call.
Weaver, of Iowa, agreed tlint the origi
nal -house resolution was a wise and con
servative measure, but the conference re-
Jiort lacked in wisdom what he supposed
it made up in conservatism.
There was nothing on the earth
senate could render to-day would be not to
to
large number
of bills at a lat#hour. The result would
be probably that many of them would not
be signed, and then they would be in a
worse condition than if they had been left
on the calendar.
Ingalls asked Allison (chairman of the
committee on appropriations! to state the
condition of the public business, and when
the final adjournment might take place.
Allison stated that the deficiency bill,
the sundry civil bill and the river and hnv-
bor bill had just been signed by the pre
siding officer.
The ebnir—“All three are on their way
to the president.”
Allison, continuing, said: “The fortifica
tion bill has passed both houses. The sen
ate lias asked a conference, but the house
has not yet acted on that request. I have
heard floating through the air in some sort
of chaotic way that it is not the intention
i the house to pass the fortification bill at
left of the original resolution j this session,
but an accession of power to the treasury l VIr. Dawes—“I have been informed i un
department. Nothing could be gained by officially) that the house will appoint a
the passage of the resolution as now-
reported. It was a complete back-down
and abnegation on the part of the house,
and an insult to the public sentiment
which had impelled the passage of tile
original resolution by a magnificent two-
thirds vote.
Hewitt, of New York, said those who
voted for this measure were voting for a
measure which would bring the country to
a silver basis ns surely as the sun would
rise to-morrow.
The discussion was continued by Bland,
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, Hiseoek, Can
non, Browne, of Indiana, Buttenvorth,
Evans, Sow-den and others.
Randall closed the debate in support of
the conference action, and in the course of
his speech he presented a tabular state
ment, showing the appropriations made
by congress at the present session.
The report was then adopted—yeas 120,
nays 63.
Belmont, of New York, from the com
mittee on foreign affairs, reported the Cut
ting resolutions, which were published
this morning, and received unanimous
consent to have them immediately consid
ered.
Hitt, of Illinois, said the resolution seen -
ed to be a unanimous report of the com
mittee on foreign affairs. The resolutions
had been adopted by the committee yes
terday when the correspondence upon
which they were based were in manu
script, ana when the only information be
fore tne committee was contained in the
report of the secretary of state. In that re
port it was stated that a demand had been
made for the release of Cutting, and that
the Mexican government had refused to
release him. Acting upon this, he 1 Hitt)
assented to the resolutions. Since then
he had read the correspondence, and in
stead of the Mexican government having
refused the demand of the United States,
it had shown every spirit of compliance.
There was no evasion; there was no defi
ance; there was very nearly humiliation in
the tone of that feeble government before
the sudden defiant demand of the secretary
of state in the name of the president.
Blount, of Georgia, inquired whether
Cutting was not still in jail. .. ,
Hitt replied that he was, but said that
upon the interference of the Mexican min
ister of foreign affairs he had been offered
his release on bail, which he had scorn
fully refused. That was the work ot a
mischief-making consul there who made
speeches to crowds in the streets about
vindicating the rights of his country.
That was the incarnation of indiscretion
by the man who had charge of our foreign
affairs there. Cutting, acting by the j
advice of the consul, declared that his case
was no longer an individual one, but an
international affair and he insisted on sit
ting in his prison when he could walk out ;
any moment he pleased. I
(brain, of Texas, said that so far non 1 j
declining an offer to be released on bail, | ,j e f erenc e
committee on that bill in a few
minutes, but I must agree with the senator
from Iowa, that there is little probability
of a solution of that question.”
Mr. Allison—“I think it unnecessary to
prolong this.scssion in the hope that the
fortification bill will be disposed of. I
know of no other business to detain us
here except to give the president the nec
essary time to examine these three appro
priation hills. I see no Impediment in the
way of providing now for an adjournment
at ifi to-uight.”
Ghace wanted the session prolonged
until the hill reported from the post oil
committee to extend the immediate deliv
ery system should be passed.
The adjournment resolution, modified to
10 to-night, was discussed for some time
without anv conclusion being arrived at.
Finally Edmunds moved to go into ex
ecutive session, remarking that in the
meantime something more definite as to
an adjournment might be learned.
The motion was agreed to and the senate
at noon went into secret session.
The doors were reopened ot 12:50
Upon motion of Eustis, the bill to de
clare the forfeiture of the New Orleans,
Baton Rouge and Vicksburg railroad com
pany (the back bone grant) land grant was
called Up for the purpose of making a
special order for some day next December.
Eustis moved that it be made the special
order for the second Monday in December.
Agreed to.
A message was received from the
?nt returning in compliance with thi
quest of the senate, the biil granting an in
crease of pension to soldiers who lost an
arm or leg in the service. The same ineas-
ure was received back from the houfee with
a verbal amendment, which, on motion,
was concurred in. The bill was then re
turned to the president.
The senate then took up the senate bill
extending the system of immediate deliv
ery to all articles bearing an immediate
d Edmunds as'ked Chaee if this law requir
ing the immediate delivery of all articles
received with an “immediate delivery
stamp” would not relieve every bondsman
of a postmaster from liability under his
bond until a new one was made.
Ghace said he could not answer the ques- — _ .
tion as well as the senator himself could, animation show
After some discussion the bill was pass- | by suffocation.
ed Alli«on again called the adjournment
resolution and offered an amendment so as
to make the hour 10 o’clock to-night.
Kenna hoped that action would not be
forced on the resolution. Bills had just
been sent to the president that he could
not read in three days, among them the
river and harbor bill, .which would re
quire a day to go through it. He did not

propriations (which are thirty-three mil
lions more than last year), there will be
paid (\uringthe current fiscal'year one hun
dred and seven and a half millions on the
public debt, or within twenty-nine mil
lions of all the debt that can be paid until
181*4. Judging from the past no detriment
is likely to occur if this joint resolution
shall become a law. By" this resolution
ten million dollars in gold
has been diverted and dedicated
to the payment of United States
notes for no other purpose whatever, so
that keeping in mind that we are to have
a law in this joint resolution which w ill
prevent the power of the secretary of the
treasury to touch one dollar of that hun
dred millions, a law for the purpose of re
deeming United States notes, and consid
ering the fact that we had on the first, of
August a surplus over and above that
amount in gold money and bullion of
about fifty more millions, we can apply
one hundred nnd seven millions and a half
in this fiscal year to the payment of the
public debt.
Beck and Edmunds dissented altogether
from Allison’s assumption that by the
joint resolution there was any dedication
of a hundred millions or any change of law
whatever in relation to the reserve for the
United States. What the law in that re
spect was before it still remained.
Call declared that if he had supposed
that the effect of the joint resolution would
be to dedicate this hundred millions abso
lutely to that purpose he would have voted
against it.
The conference report was agreed to
without division, and the senate, rejecting
a motion to go into executive session, ad
journed till to-morrow at 11 a. in.

He said lie returned to Zeph’s hall when

Aug. Krumni, a wood worker, testified
that lie attended the Haymarket meeting
with a friend named Albright. They went
into Crane's alley to light their pipes ow
ing to the wind that was blowing on the
street. Krumni has red hair, but his face
and head much resemble Spies. This tes
timony, the defense expect, will offset
Gilmer’s evidence. They will contend
that Gilmer mistook Krumni for Spies and
that the former instead of lighting a
bomb was engaged in nothing more harm
ful than lighting a pipe of tobacco.

El. Faso, Tcxhh, August 4.—On Monday
evening a meeting was held here for the
purpose of endorsing the stand tnken by
Governor Ireland in the matter of the
Mexican outrages on the Rio Grande bor
der in which he threatens to take
the matter into his own hands.
Resolutions were passed to which
many citizens objected as too radical and.
incendiary. A protest was published yes
terday, signed by nearly all the lawyers,
hankers, merchants and business men ox
El Paso. It reads as follows:
“Wo, the undersigned citizensof El Paso
believing Hint wc represent the voice
of the conservative element, protest
against so much of the resolutions adopted
by the mass meeting last night as reflects
upon our general government for inaction
in tlie pending international question with
Mexico and state that we have confidence
in the intention and ability of our govern
ment, and of the presort administration to
protect American citizens abroad,
and while we heartily concur in so much
of said (resolutions os urge upon the gov
ernment tile necessity of prompt and en
ergetic measures to vindicate the rights of
citizens of the United States in Mexico ani
desire to call the earnest attention ot
those in power to this most
important matter, and while we
pledge ourselves when necessary to hearti
ly support our government in demanding:
n"nd enforcing, even by arms, proper res
pect of our citizens nnd our flag, we trust
that all pending difficulties may be amica
bly settled without a tarnish to either
nation, and that the friendly relations now-
existing may continue between the two
republics.”
Cutting was down-hearted yesterday for
the first time since his incarceration.
Tin* stni) linin' Affair.
St. Loum, August 4.—An interview is
published here with B. F. Evans, an
American citizen, who has extensive
mining interests in Mexico. He states the
facts in the Cutting case to be as follows:
“The best American citizens in New
Mexico and in Texas condemn the agita
tion. I did not find one intelligent Ameri
can who docs not think Cutting ought to
liavo at least five years in the penitentiary.
He runs his paper at El Paso,
lie had trouble with a ^Mexican
at Pnso Del Norte, a Mexican town just
across tho river from El Paso, and after it
was over invented a vile slander against
his enemy. Cutting was arrested and taken
before a magistrate. He was allowed to
free himself by making a written retrac
tion of tlie libel, and he returned to El
Paso. There he printed the libel in his
paper in a good deal worse form than be
fore in Spanish and took his papers ovcr__
to Paso Del Norte himself
and sold them. Of course he was again
arrested, and that is how he comes to be
in jail. He is smart enough to enlist sym
pathy and pose ns a martyr so ho can be
come notorious and make money out of
his notoriety. He has been offered release
on a straw bail, hut he draws himself up
with assumed patriotic dignity and says
‘no; I am hi tlie hands of my country and

Texas, special says: County Judge Joseph
Haffktelter, who issued extradition papers
surrendering Francisco Arresures to the
Mexican authorities, has made a statement
in vindication, a sworn copy of which he
transmitted to Gov. Ireland. He charges
that Sheriff* Oglesby deceived him by as
suring him that he had received regular
extradition papers from Mexico, which he
had in nis office; that he
(Oglesby) claimed to know the man
wanted was a Mexican citizen,
and a noted horse thief, and that it has
been the practice in that country to de
liver up horse thieves and other criminals
who are Mexican citizens to the Mexican
authorities upon their presenting any
proof of Itheir guilt, they reciprocating.

LoNndN, Aug. 4.—The Times alluding to
the demonstration in Dublin yesterday
upon the departure of tlie Earl of Aber
deen, says it would be absurd to attempt to
draw any conclusions from the spectacle
which, though not without its plcusiug
features, chiefly illustrates the instability
and insincerity of Celtic character. All
the scenic apparatus is ready to show
Ireland’s lieurt hatred of England when it
suits the stage managers to change the
performance.
WILL LEAVE FOR IRELAND.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach and the Mar
quis of Londonderry will start for Dublin
to-morrow. The Standard, this morning,
says : “The state entry of the new lord-
lieutenant will doubtless lie a brilliant af
fair, but after tlie wild enthusiasm of yes
terday, any ordinary pageant will appear
tame. It was a demonstration in favor oi
home rule, which Gladstone, nt tlie proper
time, will doubtless make most of. Lord
Londonderry and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
must be content to dispense with an ap
probation which is to be won only at so
perilous a price.”
