It is irtdi profound astonishment mat I hear such am Objection from the aoliar •irre of the chamber. During the eigh teen years that I have had the honor of holding a seat oii this floor, no nut- te* 1 which party was in the majority, members on the other sldo have narm*d alt will, without objection, crit icism or question, such committee rep resentatives us they were entitled to. And no. voice was ever heard on this »ide of the chamber to object to this arrangement. And side of the chamber, no matter which party was in the majority, has never uttered a *ord of complaint. This is the most revolutionary of ail the revolutionary * cver beard since I have had ithe honor of holding a seat on this noor. Let the chair deride the question ai the chair thinks parliamentary rules demand. .But I cannot refrain from on rtcord the facts us I have atated them, and ithe expression of my profound astonishment; and If I were to Indulge myself I would put on rec- JJ® which would not perhaps oe altogether'parliamentary."

Washington, Aug. 17.—The sundry civil appropriation bill was sent to Gray Oablea today for the signature of tne president. It was signed by the vice-president and Speaker Crisp this morning. It Ib neces sary that it receive the approval of ^dr. Cleveland by next Mondaay morning, as the Joint resolution of congress extending the current appropriations will terminate then and ail work depending upon ihts bill would then have to cease. It is ex pected that the president will «ign the bill tomorrow*and then the messenger will return with It by Monday mornlrn?. The general deficiency appropriation bill, which passed the senate roday, was the last of the appropriation bills to receive Anal action by congress. The river and harbor appropriation bill is practically a law, inasmuch as it cannot be returned to the house, in which it originated, with veto within the requisite ten days, which expire tomorrow, as the house of repre sentatives has adjourned until Monday. Senator Murphy of New York offered n resolution providing that there shall be no more tariff legislation this session. It went over until tomorrow. The Re publicans In conference this afternoon de cided to Indorse Mr. Murphy's resolution if he njodlflea It. This he has agreed to do, and the probability Is that k vote will be taken tomorrow on the resolution, de claring it Impracticable to have any more tariff legislation at this session of con. gre«s. It will carry by a good majority, and, as Mr. Brice puts It, this will ho notice to the whole world. Including the house of representatives, that the senate Is ready to go home and will do no more work. MURRAY IS THE NOMINEE. Waihlngton, Aug. 17.—The Republican congressional committee has rendered a decision in the matter of contest between Robert Hmulls and George W.

Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trudo 'tomorrow will says: Thu hew tariff bill. If signed by the president, ns expected, provides a dettnlte basis for business. No sup plemental legislation Is thought possi ble until the next year at least • Large Improvement lms been expected from any settlement and more because of a vast amount of business deferred from week to week In tho hope of more doll- nltc conditions. ■ While it is not wise to look for a great boom, there Is warrant for n rea sonable and prudent hopefulness. It is toe early , for effects from tho now situation In the great Industries, hut the gradual recovery which has ap peared for some time la seen In a bet ter demand for products. Cotton man ufacturers have been carrying extraor dinary goods for the country, and tho strike tlirentoncd at Now Bedford will not alarm them, but the reduction of wages seems, likely to bo accepted at Kail ltlver. A smart Increase in transactions Is reported, buyers and sellers having nt last a oomuion basis for Judgment. Re sumption by iron and steel works which were stopped by the strikes continues to depress prices of some llnl&hed pro ducts, but with more furnaces operat ing prices of pig Iron uro not lower. Comparisons g.vtei today show a full in prices rnrging from 20 to 4-1 per cent, la Iron nud its products Vince Oc tober, 1SD0, which sufficiently accounts for the Idleness of more than a third of the works. Tlie demand for structural forms seems smaller, does not Increase for railroad uses, though traffic im proves. but for some other products It is better. The boot and shoo Industry lends all others In recovery from depression. Unless exports increase speedily and largely, the Jlmtnclsl situation • may grow difficult. In July hnports ex ceeded exports $12,537,014, mainly be cause of tho heavy sugar movement. With low duties the arrival of mer- chond'.so to meet tlie long delayed de mand will be large, while Oven phe nomenally low prices do not toko out products freely nt present. ■ • In July $12,801,030 gold went abi-oad to balance importations of goods, tilt tlie outgo has ceased, not because ex ports materially enlarge. Tlie striking feature this week Is tlie strong lnerenso in demand for commercial loons, de ferred operations of nil sorts being en couraged by action at Washington. Silver Is also stronger because of tho Kastera demand, which the war In Chi na Is expected to prolong. Liabilities of Arms fulling In tho week ending August 0 uro a little larger than of late—$3,201,080—of which $1,0*1,401 were of manufacturing and $1,008,108 of trading concerns. Full returns for July show an aggregate of $11,201,305. Tlie failures this week have been 22U In tho United States, against 455 last year, and 45 In Canada, against 27 last year.

For- ter, nfmiiuated to bo n United States JuilgtHfor tbo eastern and middle dis tricts iof Tennessee. Tho committee bases its action on tho question of fit ness for, tlio place entirely. Mr. l’orter Is lid years of ago and lms not prac ticed law, as It was reported to tlie committee, for many years. Ho was at tho time of bis nomination and Is now In the railroad business, being tlie pres ident of one of tlie Southern roads. During tlie former ndmlnlstvatlon of Mr. Cleveland lie was nsslstaut secre tary of state under Mr. Bayard. Por ter does not live la tlie district to which he was appointed mid this, tho com mittee believed, violated the homo rule pulley to widen the party Is pledged. Tills, however, did not have nny weight with the committee in tlie disposition of the ease, fur early in tills session they established an ago limit aud placed the figure at CO years, believing that no man ought to he appointed to tlio beneb who laid passed that tlmo of life. Porter’s long abscnco from" tlio active' arena of law nUo operated against him. Senntor pate of Tennessee opposed the uoipIqnUan and Sbnutor Harris ta- Voredirtt, lhe latter appearing before tlie commutes nnd making a plea for bis confirmation. The committee, how ever, ordered an adverse report to be made, but nt tlie request of "dr. Harris it was held up for a few days. Action will probably be taken on tho matter In executive session before tbo- seimto finally -adjourns. PROFESSOR 8PKN0KR J’RAISED. Tho Georgia Geologist Attracts Atten tion By u Paper Read In Brooklyn^ New York, Aug. 17.—Much Interest lms hoen aroused In scientific circles here by a paper read before tho Geo logical Society of America, now In ses sion in Brooklyn, by Professor .1. W. Spencer, formerly slate geologist of Georgia* AI1 lllu newspapers speak highly of the cssnj^ ' Tlio Times says: "One of tho most Interesting papers read so far was that by Professor J. \V. Hpencer, before tho Geological Society of America. In this paper Professor Spencer made the’ an nouncement that the American conti nent Is slowly sinking. If his theory is correct, lu yours to come there will bo no American ooutluent. Professor Spencer lias made experiments ut, tlie mouth of tho Mississippi and lit the Gulf of Mexico, nnd these experiments have convinced bliu that Louisiana and other parts of tho surrounding country are 8,000 feet lower than they were originally. In referring 10 tlio "West India Islands Professor Sponsor said that several of them had had two or three periods of rc-clovatlou of from 200 to ,'itltl feet, and had since settled.

London, Aug. 17.—Capt, Ingles, who has Just concluded a six year s sc-rvics as naval adviser to Japan, sartd in an interview today: "The shOpa, officers and men of tho Japanese navy are ccuipaiubte to those of any European ■navy. Tne are energetic and studious, the engineers are especlUUy good and the engines are admirably worked.

I believe tho Japs wJH cloar tiro seas before the winter and that the campaign will 'be mainly on the land.
