Outhwalte and Hull( Republi can! of Iowa defended the report. They said it was not the intention ot the sec retary of war to move those Indians confined at Mb Vernon for the commis sion of crimes, but it was Intended to give the women and children the same whence that other human beings have to act for themselves. Neither the govern ment nor the people of tho country, they said, desired to keep ZOO women and children in prison all their lives for the sin of their fathers. The report wa« agreed to. At thhi point the flpw of returning member.; \vlm li.nl been attending up-*n thi* session v,f the senate s»*t lu and !n few minutes the action of that body upon the request of the house for a further conference on the tariff bill became known on the floor and was ac tively discussed. It was 3:15 o’clock when Secretary Oox appeared at the door to communicate the action ofil- ially to the house. This having ’been disposed of the house proceeded to' the further consid eration of bills. The house went into committee Of the whole, Mr. Bailey in the chair, upon the bill to authorize the secretary of the treasury to settle the accounts, stated between the general government and the state of Florida, under the authority of an act approve 1 March 2. 1S89. known as the deficiency act; and to pay the balance found to be due. The amount involved Is about $600,000 for expenditures made by Flor ida during the Indirn war of 185U-58. It was advocated by Messrs. Mallory and Cooper of Florida. •Mr. -Davis (Populist) of Kansas op posed the passage of the bill, alleging that the hostilities grew out of attempts by the slaveholders to suppress senti ments im favor of liberty among the Indians and negroes. Mr. Cousins (Republican) of Iowa made n minority report adversely to Item--and spoke against its passage. He has?! his obieetton mainly upon the ground that the troops for whose ser vices It was sought to recompense Flor ida did not come within the conetltu tlonal requirement governing the enlist ment of troops by a state. He said that at that time there were but ninety-eight hostile Indians, while the United State© had nearly 3.0C0 regular and volunteer troops in the field. He looked upon the claim as a huge joke and as a mani festation of the habit that Florida had fallen into the habit of having a claim pending in congress on acoount of the Indian wars. The bill was further op posed bv Mr. Bartlett (Democrat) of New York, which carried the session to 5 o’clock when, under Jhe rules, a re cess was taken. WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

The fleet left Taku i/nder escort of eight gunboats. The majority of the trans ports proceeded slowly with the gun boats. while the faster ones steained at full speed so as to land their troops as Sbon as possible. On the transports which arrived first at the Corean co*.st were u hundred soldlens from the army of the north. Most of the force, how ever. constated of Colics with inferior firearms or merely bows nnd-*arrom The Attack upon the steamefs by the Japanese guns last Wednesday is de scribed briefly ln a dispatch received this evening. The firing was begun by a Japanese battery from the shore, while the Chinese officers were trying to disembark their men from the neth ermost steamer.. The crulse-s steamed up and opened fire on all the transports which were laying to waiting to dis charge the men. The Chinese were unable to make any effective resistance. They were thrown into great confusion, and many Jumped overboard to escape the hot fire under which two transports suffered severely. The Chinese oificlalo here do not con firm these dispatches. They are ex tremely reticent as to every report con- corning hootllitleo ln Corea. The beginning bf hostilities has caused great excitement among all classes here. Business in virtually sus pended, although many smaller firms have made desultory efforts to sustain their trade. The position of the Japan ese residents Is precarious. For three weeks the more prosperus Japanese have been leaving the city, but many of the middle and poorer classes re main. * The Europeans best acquainted with the cl,ty think that 1 ho Sikh police will be strong enough to protect them from Chinese fa-nJttos.
