which authorizes the secretary of the
treasury to prant registers as vessels of
♦he Urnt r d States to siuh foreign built
atvnmships, now engaged in freight and
passenger bus ness, anil sailing in an es
tablished line from a poi in the United
States, a Oi.e if n tonnage of not less
than 8,000 tons and capable of speed of
not less than twenty knots per hour, of
which not less than ninety per cent of
the shares of foreign corporation or, as
aociation owning same was vned Jan
uary 1, 1890, and bits continued to bo
owned until tin* passage of this act. by
citizens of the Unit'd States, provided subse
atich American owners shall,
ft^uent to the date of this law, have bui t,
or have contracted to build, in American
shipyards, steamships of aggr>gate ton¬
nage of not less in amount than that of
Bteamshipa brief so admitted to registry, efter of
a explanation by Mr. Coekran,
New York, the motion was agreed to and
the bill pasted. The Bryan bill, provid¬
ing for free binding twine,was then taken
up and passed by a vote of 183 to 47,
three republic ans voted for it, and two
democrats (Covert and Coburn of New
York) voted agdnst it; all the third
party people voted with the democrats.
The bid granting a pension to the sur¬
vivors of the Indian wars of 1832 to
1842 was also passed. It provides that
the names of the survivors who served
thirty days in the Black Hawk war, the
C’rcek war, the Cherokee disturbance, or
the Florida war with Ihe Seminole Indi¬
ans and were honorably discharged, as
well as the surviving widows of such
officers or enlisted men, provided such
widows have not re-married, shall be
placed upon the pension rolls. The pen¬
sion will be $8 a month. The bill will
undoubtedly pass the senate very soon
and will become a law at this ses ion of
con gress.
Tuesday. But little routine business
was don** in the house Tuesday morning,
ami shortly after the reading of the jour¬
nal tin* house went, into committee of the
whole, Mr. Oates of Alabama in the
chair, on the diplomatic and consular
appropriation lull. Consideration of the
consular portion of the bill having been
completed having without any material change
been made toward increasing the
salaries of the various consuls above the
amount appropriated Ly the bill, the
committee reverted to the amendment of¬
ten <1 a few days ago by Mr.Chipman of
Michigan and temporarily passed ovet
that part providing that no part of the
emergency funds rhall lie paid to any
foreign government in settlement of any
claim against the United States. The
amendment was adopted. Mr. Blount,
of Georgia, in charge of the bill, moved
to strike out the appropriation of $05,
00(1 to continue tie- preliminary survey
lor an international railway. Mr.
McCreary opposed the motion The
only gentleman on the foreign affairs
commit tee who opposed the appropria¬
tion was the chairman, who had reported
the bill. Til iff gentleman stood in t lie
attitude of asking the house to strike
from the bill, which he himself had re¬
ported, one of its most important, feat¬
ures. It was not a propo-ition to build
a railroad. It was simply a proposition
t'uit. tic United States stiould furnish
$05,000 to complete a survey which was
already two-thirds accomplished. There
"as nothing in the clause that pledged
the 1 oited St ites to furnish one dollar
for construction of a road. After fur¬
ther debate the motion was agreed to,
113 to 71. Mr. Blount thus triumphed
over the otherwise united vote of his
committee. Mr. Blount then moved to
strike out the appropriation of $25,000
for the collection and distribution
of commercial information as
recommended by the Internationa!
American conference. Agreed to—97 to
(18. The committee arose and reported
the bill as amended to the house. Mr.
Hooker of Mississippi demanded a sep¬
arate vote on the amendment striking
out the $05,000 appropriation f rau ea
tercontiueatul raihvav commission. It
was agreed to; yeas 145, nays 84. Ilo
demanded also a separate vote on tho
amendment striking out the appropria¬
tion for a comm rcial bureau of tho
American republic*. The amendment
was rejected, yens 71. nays 143, and the
appropriation for an inten ational union
of the American republics remains in the
bill. The bill was then passed. On
motion of Mr. Outhwahe of Ohio, the
senate amendment to the army appropri¬
ation was non-concurred iu and a cou
fereuce was ordered, Tlie house then
adjoin ned.
Wednesday.— After the approval of
the house journal and reference of a num¬
ber of senate bills, Mr. O ary of Califor¬
nia presented Chinese the coafe ene.* report on
the exclusion bill. Mr. Geary
demanded the previous questi n on the
adoption of the report, and notwithstand¬
ing the protests of Mr. Hooker of Mis¬
sissippi, it was adopted. After some
discussion the report was adopted. Yeas,
"0 ; nays, 28. Mr. Goodnight of Ken¬
* * ny, from the committee on judiciary,
Imported general a resolution calling ou the at¬
torney for information as to
whether the sugar trust In. violated the
anti-trust law. and if so, whether prose¬
cutions had been instituted for such vio¬
lations. Adopted after a brief discus¬
sion. A dozen or two private pension
bills coming ever from Friday
night’s session were pa sed. Messrs.
Outhwaito, Mitchell and Belknap
were appointed bill. conferred On motion on the army
appropriation of Mr.
Holman, the house went iuto committee
of the whole, Mr. Hatch of Missouri in
the chair, for the consideration of the
general appropriation bills. The first
bill on the calendar was the sundry civil
appropriation bill and Mr. Blanchard of
Louisiana, iu the iutere*u of the river
ami harbor bill, askei that the bill be
laid aside, • tit Mr. H 1m m objected,and
the facts were reported to the house,
which deck! d, 122 to 49, to lay the
sundry civil bill aside and the committee
resume 1 its session. The postoffice and
fort lk.ition bills were also laid aside.
After a little fiHibust riug between the
house and the c m it tee the river and
harbor bitl was taken up. Mr.Blanchard
and Mr. Haughtn >p ke in favor of the
bill, and pending further debate the
commit'ee arose and the house adjourn

hours, and Mr. Holman, of Indiana,
look the floor in opposition to the me as
urc. He attacked the bill as being an
extravagant one. It not only approprl*
it<il more thin $21,000,000, but it au
tborized contracts to be made which
w uld make the government liable for
$20,000,000 more. In connection with
the bill, he *eut to the clerk’s desk and
had read a letter from W. E. Leonard,
of Port Huron, Mich., to Representative
Whiting, thanking him for his opposition
to the proposal to make a twenty-one
foot canal across lake St. Claire, “a dis¬
tance would of thirty miles, This channel
have to be made with a pier of
wood or stone on both sides. It would
cost at least $72,000,000, and, if the
piers were of stone, it would cost $300.
000,000. Mr. li'eck in ridge, of Ken¬
tucky, had too shoit a time accorded to
him to attack the bill in detail, but he
said that, f the democratic house
wished to pass the bil>, it should act
frankly with the people, and tell them
that the measure involved an appropria¬
tion of $17,000,000, and not of $21,
000,000. If $47,000,000 was fair and
just, let the democratic and"not party go before
the country and say so, declare
that this was an economical congress, and
had appropri tted only $21,000,000.
THE SENATE.
Monday —Numerous petitions were
presented in the senate Monday against
legislation for the closing of the World’s
fair on Sundays. They came from the
states of \ ermont, New Hampshire, Wis¬
consin, Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri
and Arkansas, Many of them were
from religious bodies. Also one from a
Methodist church in New Hampshire ur¬
gently protesting against further
adverse legislation against the Chinese.
In presenting the petition for legislation
for tin* closing of the world’s fair Sun¬
day, Mr. Vest described it as a “machine
petition.” It had been originally,he said,
addressed to two Ohio senators, and it con¬
tained a resolution pledging signers to re¬
fuse, berm forth, to support for any office,
or position of trust any senator or mem¬
ber who should vot9 for further aid of
any kind for the world’s fair except
on e mditions named in the memorials.
Whatever might be his vote on the ques¬
tion, he sai l, he should certainly pav no
attention to that sort of resolution. He
did not hold people who had sent him
the petition responsible for it. It had
been obviously prepared in the city of
Washington as a sort of political black¬
mail. If that sort of practice were to
continu •, and we were expected to vote
for the lull, which he might believe un¬
constitu i >na', he did not want to hold
• Hire on any such conditions. As to clos¬
ing the world’s fair ou the Babbnth, that
question was before the committee,
of which he was it member, and
was fully. being considered very care
A much more serious question,
however, was as to the expenditures that
had already been made ab >ut the Colum¬
bian exposition, among which he noticed
that of the five millions contributed by
the city of Chicago $90,000 had been
expended for the location of the exposi¬
tion in that city. He stated that the
committee which had lately visited Chi¬
cago had investigated that question to
see whether the (xpenditure was neces¬
sary, how it was expended and who got
the money. He had expressed the opin¬
ion when the bill was first presented in
the senate, that expending five millions
the city of Chicago would come to
congress and say that it was necessary,
for the honor of the entire country,
that the exposition should be of
the people of the United States.
Tuesday —After the usual routine of
the morning business was disposed of in
the senate Mr. Morgan called up the
president’s message on the subject of the
international conference as to silver coin¬
age. Mr. Kyle then proceeded to ad¬
dress the senate in favor of free coinage.
At the close of Mr. Kyle’s speech the
message was again laid on the table, Mr.
Morgan giving notice that he desired to
speak upon it. The conference report
on the Chinese exclusion bill was then
laid before the senate. As soon as it was
read Mr. Sherman stated that, although
a member of the conference committee,
he had not b<en able to sign the report;
he was vi ry willing to provide any neces¬
sary legislation for the restriction of
Chinese labor, and thought that the senate
bill had done so very broadly. Mr. Sher
man found great objection to the registry
and certificate provision of the bill
as amended by die conference committee.
That, lie thought, was in violation of the
treaty of 1880 with China. Messrs.
Dolph and Morgan, memb rs of the con
fereuce committee, defended the regis¬
tration provision. Air. Call declared
himself in opposition not only to the con¬
ference report, but to the principle on
which the whole anti-Chinese legislation
was founded. He believed that the
pending measure would involve a loss of
hundreds of millions of dollars to the al¬
ready ruined cotton industry of the
south. After half a dozen other seuators
had spoken both for and against, the c. m
for. nee report was agreed to—Yeas, 30:
nays, 15. The house bill-placing bind¬
ing twine on the free list was laid before
the senate and referred to the finance
committee. Several other house bills
were presented and referred. After a
brief executive session, the senate ad¬
journed.
Wednesday. —Alter the routine morn¬
ing business, Wednesday, the senate took
up the calendar and passed the follow¬
ing bills, among others: The senate bill
for the disposal of the remaining public
lands in Alabama for the promot on of
technical education. The senate bill ap¬
propriating $50,090 for public building
at Charlottesville, Va. The senate then
proceeded to executive business. And
after the reference of some nominations,
the senate adjourned.
Thursday.—A t the opeuiug of the
senate Thursday Vice-President Morton
announced that he had signed, among
other bil's, ihe amended house Chiuese
exclusion bill, which now goes back to
the house and thence to the president for
his approval. The senate commerce c >m
mittee by unanimous vote decided to re
i or: favorbly the bill granting Ameri¬
can register t * certain foreign buit
ships of the Inman line, of a ton¬
nage of not lees than S.0U0 tons *;nd a
speed of not less tliau 20 knots, which
mosed the house ■ n Monday. Senator
Five, the chairman of the committee, was
authorized to urge immediate consider i
'ion by the seuate, and this he will do
a the first opportunity. S -cretary Tracy,
n a letter to the committee, expres-cs
he opinion that the bill is second in im
, ortauce only to the naval appropriation
: ill, and urges its passage.

priation bill toreducj the compensation
