the same. The only criticism he had to ap.
ply to the amendment of the gentlem m
from Texas was that it did not go far
enough. B
Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, strongly ad-
vooated the Sayers amendment. The gov-
ernment needed new ships, bnt in securing
those ships it should go slowly. It should
not only utalize the experience of foreign
nations, but should learn from
itB own experience. He did not
think it advisable to bnild ten ships, but
he did think the government could efford
to begin Bix new vessels and one torpedo
boat.
Messrs. Holman and Bland objeotedtothe
proposed extraordinary expenditure of tha
people's money in a time of peace, and
characterized it as an tffort to prevent a re
daction of taxation,
Mr. Heed, of Maine, supported Mr. Bon-
telie’s amendment, and Mr. Ones, of Ala
bama, and Mr. McAdoo, of New Jersey,
that of Mr. Sayers. Mr. Bontelie’s substi
tute was rejected by 80 to 107—almost a
strict party vote.
Mr. Thomas, of Illinois, moved to amend
eels shall be built under contract, and as
nearly as may be in compliance with the
provisions of tbe act of August 31, 1886.
Agreed to. As thns amended, the amend
ment offered by Mr. Sayers, of Texas, was
adopted by 131 to 39.
On tte point of order raised by Mr. Kin-
dali, the last paragraph of the bill, author
izing tbe transfer of material from one
bureau ot the Navy Department to another,
was rated from the bill. The committee
then rose and reported the bill to the Hocie.
The Uonse reaffirmed (yeas 161, nays 71)
tbe action of the committee in adopting tho
amendment offered by Mr. Sayers, and tho
bill was passed.
The previous order for the session to
night—tho delivery of eulogies upon tho
laie Hspreseatatlve Cole, of Maryland—was
vacated, and Monday night was assigned
for that purpose.
Then for an honr the House was in storm
and confusion. The appropria'ions com
mittee desired to take a reoess to enable the
legislative appropriation bill to be con
sidered to-nigbt, bnt could not seenre a quo
rum for that purpose. Motions to adjourn
were voted down. A proposition tor u ses
sion to-morrow night was objected to, and
finally, at 6.16, a call ot the House was
ordered. Tho doors weto then ordered to
be closed, bnt a resolution was adopted
providing that all members who volun
tarily presented themselves at the door i be
fore 8 o'clock ahonld be admitted, and
shot-id not be compelled to givo an exsttse
tor their absence. This was taken as a tacit
agreement that no business wonld be trans-
nctod until that honr, and many xnombers
left the hall, and alter some further col
loquy the House, at 6:46 took a recess until
8 o'clock, tbe evening session not to con
tinue beyond midnight.

to take a recess wan rejected,
Mr. Holman withdrew his motion to sns-
pend the rales, and tbe House again went
into committee on the legislative appropri
ation bid. Mr. Blanchard, of Louisiana,
took the floor to give some reasons for hia
inflexible opposition to the measure. He
had carefully analyzed the bill, and he
had discovered that it violated the rales of
the House more tbAa 150 times. He par
ticularized some of them.
At the conclusion of Mr. Blanchard’s re-
marks, Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, called at
tention to the fact that it wa ited a few
minutes only of midnight, and said that it
was a scandal that an appropriation bill
should be brought in at this period o? the
session, and that Sunday should be spent
in its ditcust-ion. He suggested that the
committee rise. This suggestion was agreed
to, a d the com mi tee rose; and at 12
o’clock the House adjourned.

When tho House met at 8 o'clock it found
itself in no better oondition than it bad
boen when the recess was taken. Proceed
ings under the call ot t ho House not having
been dispensed with, the Uonse assembled
with closed doers. After half an boar's
wrangling and contusion and noise, huw-
ovor, farther procoedicgs under the oslt
were dispensed with, end tho Uonse went

Mr. McMillan, rf Tennessee, hoped the
gentleman would withdraw his objection.
Tbe fact confronted the Uonse that this
morning bnt one ot the general appropria
tion blits bad been signed by the President,
and if tho Uonse wished to escape an extra
si salon, it wonld only be done by strenuous
and p ratatont work and the wasting of no
more time, lint Mr. Bra<y was obdurate,
and amid shouts of • Order," persisted in
bis obj-ctlon, merely replying to Mr. Mc
Millan's query as to whose fault it was that
the appri nriaiion bilta were so backward.
Io hie obj-ction he was vigorously sec
onded by Mr. Gibson, of West Virginia, and
ttiough Mr. Brady was euironndtd by
friends ondcavoring to induce him to with
draw bis objection, he remained firm, and
the read log uf the bill was proceeded with.
Mr. Brady's otjeclion was the result of an
agreement among some ot the friends ot the
llldr tdncsrion&t bill to antagonize appro
priation bills and endeavor to force by this
means recognition of a morion to pass that
bill ander a suspension of tbe rales.
The Trading proceeded without interrup
tion nearly two hours, when Mr. Fettiboue,
of Tennessee, moved that the committee
rue, which was voted on andd-dded in tbe
nigitive. Mr. Brady made the point ot
order that no quorum bad voted.

Mr. Iugatla Asaumca the Presidency-Im
portant Hills Tossed.
AVasiiinoton, February 20.—In tho Sen
ate, tne credentials of Mr. Keagan, as Sen
ator from Texas, and Mr. Bate, **s Senator
from Tennessee, were presented and placed
on file. In the latter case, Mr. Hear re
marked that tbe credentials were acoompa
nu d t-y a pap-r purporting he a comuiis-
siuu fxeiu the Governor, or if Senators were
State officers. He suggested that tbe papers
should be returned to Mr. Bate. The pre
siding officer said that coarse would be
taken.
Bills were reported from committees,
and placed on the calendar as follows; For
the redemption of school farm lands in
Baanfortconntv, 8. O., adversely; Honso
lull for tbo Mfltl-m* ut u£ accounts u£ tbo
Vicksburg and Meridian railroad company
for internal revenue taxes, improperly out
lasted.
At 1 o'clock the presiding officer inter
rupted the proceedings and stated that the
honr bad arrived for administering the oath
of office to bis Bnccessor as president pro
tern. He retnrned thanks to the Senate for
its kind conrtesy and forbearance, and after
Mr, Ingalls had taken and subscribed to
tbo oath of office he took tbe chair and said
tbat while he wonld inevitably sailer dis
paragement by contrast with the parliament
ary learning, skill, urbanity and accom
plishments of his illustrious predecessor, he
would strive to excel him in gratcfnl appre
ciation of the disriounisbed honor con
ferred. A vote of thanks was then, on mo
tion of Mr. Harris, given to the retiring pre
siding officer.
Another dissgroement on tho snbsidy
amendment to tho post-effice appropria
tion bill was reported and another confer
ence ordered. The aonsalsr end diplomatic
appropriation bill was taken op.
Mr. Platt inquired of Ur. Allison (chair-
man of the committee on appropriations)
as to tho condition of the appropriation
bills. Mr. Allison said that only one ap
propriation bill, tho army bill, bad been
signed by the President. The only other
appropriation bills that had passed both
II jaies were the pension bill and tho mili
tary ac-vlemv bill. The post-offioe hill, the
the Indiun bill, the Biindry civil bill and
tho District of Colombia bill wore ail in
conference. The legislative bill, the m *t
important next to thejenndry civil, had not
yet been taken up for consideration by the
House ol Uepiesentalivea. The naval bill
waa now nmler consideration in tbat body,
Tbe deficiency bill had not yet beon re
ported to tho llonae, i-or had the fortifi
cation bill yet reached the Senate.
Tbe diplomatio and consular bill was then
proceeded with. Mr. Beck, a member of
tho committeo on appropriation, said that
this bill had been up to this time rather un
fortunate, The chairman ot the foreign af
fairs committee in the Uonse (Ur. Belmont)
bad reported a well-oouaidcred bill, but
for some reason or other the House had
taken tbe head of It and made of it a very
lnooDgrnons bill. In illustration of this,
he sent to the clerk's desk and had read a
communication from the Secretary of State
t-t the SoDnte committee on appropriation.
The bill, he continued, bad been torn al| to
pieces in the Hotuoon thesoore of economy
or some other pretenso, so that nndar it
tbe business of the government in its for
eign relations conl-l cot be maintained.
He thought tha* hit It -publican oolieagaea
on tho committeo had done good aervioe to
the oonntry in reporting Mich amendments
to the bill as they bad dons.
Alter a great deal of desultory discussion,
in wi i -li mu K -publi - .it Senators male an
attack npon the- consnUr and diplomatio
service as at present officered and conduct
ed, the amendments reported by the com-
mitlto on appropriations were all adopted,
and some others, and tbe bill was passed.
Tbo agricultural appropriation bill was
then taken ap, read and passed, with some
amendments.
Two vetoes of private pension bills were
presented and referred to the pension com
mittee.
Tbe conference report on the House bill
to restrict the ownership ot real estate In
tbe Territories to American citizens was
•greed npon.

to-day in tbe Uait.-d Mates Cironit Court
handr d down bis decision in the ouit of the
Old tKominlon Steaoisblp Company sgcioBt
John McKenna, James E. Quinn, and oth
ers of tbe Ocean Association, on a motion
to have defendants discharged from arrest.
The suit was brought to recover $20,000
damages alleged to have bten sustained by
tbo company through tbe uoWvful action
of defendants in the recent strike cf long
shoremen, and in their attempt to pises a
boyoott on the Ootupuny in its btr-iness as
oomtuon carriers, lbc dif.-mlan’s ore ont
ou boiL Too defenso argned that tbe mate
rial fasts in tbe complaint wero tarnished
on information and belief only, withont
particulars, and tbat defendants
were acting within their legal
rights, Judge Brown reviows
the ebarge, and decides tbat tbe material
points * T « stated paaitively. and that the
sources of information are sufficiently indi
cated ; that the facts stated in tho complaint
and affidavits constitute a legal cause for
action against nil tbe defendants, and tho
moti-n to discharge from arrest is denied.
Judge Brown gives the following reasons:
1. Plaintiffs are engagod in tho legal call
ing of common carriers, which r< quires the
employment of numerous workmen, who
are asserted to have been employed at just
and earisfactory wages.
2. The defendants were not in the employ
of the company, and had no legal justifica
tion to interfere in a mero question of
wag* k. It is charged that they 1 icited em
ployes of the company, both in this city
and in Hon thorn porta, to qnit work in a
body, to iDflict damige npon the business
of the plaintiff, nntu the demands of de
fendants shonld be granted, whloh plaintiff
waa under no obligation to do. Tho pro-
enroment of employs to leave work was to
inflict in jury upon the business of the com
pany and was not justifiable, and was in
law malicious and illegal interference with
the business of the company, which waa
actioimi'li-.
3. After the strike the defendants placed
a boycott on tbe business of the company,
interfering with Us business as oouiinon
carriers, and tried to deter others from
doing business with plaintiff, to the iatter’a
damage. These acta were not merely Illegal
but also misdemeanors in common law, as
well as by section 168 of the pennl code.
('In tbe fonrth place,” Judge Brown goes
oh tossy, "associationshave no more right
to inflict injuries npon others than indi
viduals tavo All combinations and asso
ciations designed to coerce workmen to be
come members of or to Interfere with, ob
struct. vex or annoy them in working, or in

from making just discrimination in tho

signed to interfere with the perfect and
proper freedom of employers in the proper
