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.

PJI IvA.MJJLE,
The citizens of Atlanta having been divided in
sentiment on certain questions, and this division
being injurious to the best interests of our city,
the undersigned have formed themselves into an
association, with the sole purpose of using all
lawful means and every honorable endeavor of
reuniting the people of Atlanta in sentiment and
in the determination to work together for the
prosperity of our city.

1. We discountenance intemperance in lan
guage, intemperance in action, intemperance in
legislature, and intemperance in the judgments
and sentences ofcourts, as well as intemperance
in drinking. There should he reason in all
things. In these times it behooves all to recur to
the motto of Georgia, “wisdom, Justice and mod-
of one { oration.” We’deprecnte and condemn any rad-
■— — ' ieal laws or ultra measures that compel emigra
tion and discourage immigration. We are opposed
to clothing the government with paternal pow
ers to restrain or limit the expenses or tastes of
citizens in their apparel, food beverage, furni
ture, etc., a-, pa’.p.ibh lihridgeme: ts rf the per
sonal liberty of man. We believe in the freedom
of individual c< nduct tin vexed by suptuary Jlaws
and a sy>tem of espionage, as affirmed and re
affirmed repeatedly by the democratic party.
2. We favor an amendment to the charter of
Atlanta, allowing and regulating the wholesale
and retail trade of ardent spirits under such salu
tary limitations as the city council i»aj provide
under proper regulations.
3. That we favor giving the preference to free,
honest laborers, and oppose any laws that tend
to brutalize and degrade the wage-earner.

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.
