rout* of dabats Mr, Chandler
made a. aeoond speech on amendment to
tho Indian blit to ths point that all ibo
amendments proposing general legtela-
tton on appropriation bills were reported
by tho committee on appropriations with
•““'"‘"fr’ ^revoking aiscuaston pre-
yentln*. the passage of the appropriation

ths passage of die Nicaragua Mil, not
through a private company, but by pub

into the conduct of the secretary of the
treasury under the direction of the pres
ident "of the most remarkable financial
transaction that aver took place In the
history of fhe government by which a
loss of IS,000,000 was caused to the people
of the United States.'
Two-thrMs of the Indian bill had been
disposed of when the senate, at 0:30
o’clock, adjourned. The legislative, ex
ecutive and Judicial appropriation bin
was reported to the senate today by the
committee on appropriations. It carried
121,128,907 as It passed the house In appro
priations and this was Increased 190,017

In executive session today the senate
confirmed the nomination of Wllllsm I,.

HOUSE proceedings.
So for as the house Is concerned, the
navy will be further Increased by the
construction of three battle ships and
nine torpedo boats. At tbe close of
four days deliberation on ths bill making
appropriations for the navy and naval
establishment for ths hear ending June 311,
HIM, ths bourn passed the measure prac
tically as reported toy (he committee af
ter having refused by a vote of 199 to
to re-commlt ths bill upon motion of
Mr. Sayers with Instruction to strike out
,e provision for the battle ships. An
amendment offered by Mr. Sayers was
agreed to, providing that ths secretary of
th# navy should not contract to pay a
higher pries tor armor plats or gun steel
that is paid for ths same article to the
some parties by foreign governments. It
will also provide that two of ths nlns
torpedo -boats should be constructed on
the Mlsslselppl river. Efforts by Mr.
Cannon tKepuollcan) of Illinois, uj make
the bill carry an appropriation of 120,000,-
000 or of 18,000,000 towards defraying the
st of tho battle ships, were unavaila
ble. In this connection a letter was read
from Secretary Herbert, stating that If
the construction of the battle ships was
authorised In the pending Mu, there
would be expended In the year ending
June 80, 1(98, on that account only I0U,-
900.
The naval toll! being out of tho way, ths
house Spent one hour discussing the Ha
waiian cable project upon the report of
the committee on diplomatic and consul
appropriation bill. Mr. McCreary (Demo
crat) of Kentucky opposed the cable ss
a government enterprise, and moved that
the house insist upon lie disagreement
to the senate amendment authorising the
p.-esldent to contract for laying tbe ca
ble.
Mr. Hitt (Republican) of Illinois, one
of (he conferees, forcibly advocated the
cable. He read from the annual mee-
•ags of President Cleveland In IMS end
1888, to show that as for back aa that pe
riod the president advised Congressional
action to secure telegraphic communica
tion wtth Hawaii. Tho matter was not
disposed of when the house adjourned.
A bill was passed a er the unfavorable
report of the committee of the whole
having been previously passed by mistake
and recalled from the senate to Increase
the pension of Thomas Corrigan.
A resolution Introduced last December
by Mr. Pickier (Republican) of South Da
