After speeches by Messrs. Hanlson and lltbone, a vote was taken on Mr. Beck's amendment to strike ont from theUnnee bill toe prorisino relating to equal factll-les and accommodation* for passengers. The Senate, by a vo'e of 22 to S3, refused to itrlMnut the clause. The bid provides tnst railroads ahall not chirrs more fur a shorter haul than for a longer haul tkatincludes the shorter. Mr. Beck moved to amend this so as t> pro hibit merely the charging of more for transportation any distance less than the whole length ot the line than is chsrg d for a similar vervice oyer the whole tongh ol the lln*. To this amenuiu-nt several others followed, led smld a long debate all were voted down, except one by Mr. Flamb, on which a mte was nor. reached. It was to emend Mr. Beck's amendment no ts to make it apply only to cases involving "simllsr circumstances.” Mr. Sherman, in moving thstihs Sena's proceed to the con.Id-radon of executive business, said he would to-morrow support Mr. Calhm's proposition that the Senate lit continn- onsfy nntil the bill ahall be completed Without action on Mr. Plnmb'a amend ment, tbs Senate, at 5:25, went Intoexecu. tire sessi n, Ind when, at 5:45, the doors were reopened the Senate adjourned. 1IOB3*.

Tbs time wea then extended to one hunr, instead of 3d minutoi, si apec tird in the resolu ion. At this point and ne- lore final action sras taken onlht retolu- tl», Mr. rolllns,of MarsAChn-etrs, nioveu that the House t ake a reoese till 11 o'clock to morrow.

A yea and nay rota was ordered st 0:20 on a motion of Mr Bloant, ol Georgia, to adjimrn. Before It was taken Mr. Hnctck of New York, asked of Mr. Collins, of Mas ••ebusettt, "What can we accomplish?

Cleve land will «o to the Arlington like any other guest, and pay his own bills. On motion of Ur.Cullom.the Senate then resumed consideration of the Inter-State commerce bill The question was on Mr. Plumb'e motion to add tbe words “under similar circumstances" to tbe amendment offered by Mr. Beck, which amendment would prohibit a railroad company from charging more lor the transporting of goods over a part of it* line than f *r trans porting the same goods over its whole line. Mr. Piumb's motion was agreed to—yeas 26, nays 20. The question thea recurred on Mr. Beck's amendr ent as modified. On this Mr. Vance took the tloor. He ridiculed tbe Idea that Senators did not have auffi dent knowledge and common sense to be able to •ay that railroads should be prohibited from pooling and diacrl i lasting against persona and places. There were, no doubt, matters of railroadimanagemeot that Sena tors did not understand; but there were also simple matters that even the Senate's pages could uudentand. Much eloquence had been expended in tbe Senate ou this railroad subject, but Mr. Vsncc thought tbe eloquence of Senetors was in inverse ratio to their disposition to do anything effective. It hsd been ssld that to many people were Interested in railroad stocks that we ought not to pass laws to restrict their charges. The same argument wonld apply to the business ol robbing henroosts. The clamor*of railroad meu were like the protests of tbe chicken steal- era, who would li. form legislature that they did not understand the business of chicken alealiog—that It was a very com- pllca ed business and differed totally from the vulgar business of stealing things other than chickens. Reference to railroad au thorities as ‘experts” was in Mr. Vance s opinion t-l though chicken stealers shonld insist that one of their number, BdlSyk.s. for example, ahouid be consulted by the representatives of the people before laws were passed on the snbjectof chicken stealing, because BUI Sykes thoroughly understood the subject. Bill Sykea bad been in ths business for forty years and c aid tell an old hen from a pullet by star light in Ilia top of Ihe loftiest apple tree In the farm yard. There was In Mr. Vance's opinion one great mystery about the rail road business, and that was the meek en durance and long suffering patience of tho American people. The claims of Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, Albert Fink el Id ornne genus to having cheapened tbe price of ommodlUe* by railroad trantp irtation were claims that properly belonged to science and not to the uartles named. As well might the sieve claim credit fur letting water pan tbrongn ' There was not n uch cre lit to be given people who said "the public be damned.” The Culiom bill was the direct progeny of the Circumlocution Office, and went 1 result in no'htng. Tbe Senate should not dodge the iasne by passing inch • bill. Mr. Vsnce favored tbe House bill. Mr. lleck said Ihst he would now vote against nis own amendm nt, since it had been moiified by the amendment of Mr. Plumb. It would mske the bill utterly nsel-ss if passed. He severely criticised the bill. Mr. Beck's amendment, umndifieJ, was then voted down—yets 6, nays 41. Mr. Sherman followed in a long speech on tbe general subject covered by these bills, itinln rout with the statement that lie preferrci the Sanate bill, but would have voted for either the House or Senate bill if die other were out of the way. Mr. Kenns esnte next in opposition to Ihe'coinraisiisn feature of the proposed legislation. Mr. Beck's am"ndmcnt, permitting a reduction ol retrs ntmout prorinus notice, wssagroedto—y.j. 16, nay«7. The Hou-e bill provides that no dlscrimiuation shall bo mule between pissengers on nc- i-ount of rate or color, "bit the furnishing ot separate and equally comfortable ac- commo rations should not be deemed dis crimination." Mr. Ingslls more l to strike out all ot tbit provision except the sta-e- nient that there should be no discrimina tion on account of raea or color. Mr. In ga Is s motion waa agreed to, line atriking out i lie proviso regarding "separate nccoiu- ino rations." Tbe vote on striking ont was 31 yen to 17 nays, Messrs. Butler and Jackson heing ihe only Democrat* Toting tn the sffirmatiye.

Another scheme in the bill was tbe ondding of a harbor of refuge at Sandy Bay, Massnchnietts. and eeUblsb- lng an ocaanio Yellowstone Park. In the shadow of these big schemes ttlrrs were numerous small schemes. He Initmceri the appropriation (or the improvement of Wttereo river, which was nutnlug but a lumber yard.
