A DAY WASTED, Bpectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribtine. Wasninaton, D. C., April 90,—The House spent the entira day In a very ridiculous i manner, - Soon after the reading of the Jour- ‘ gal, Mr. McMahon moved to take up tho De- ficlency Appropriation bill, which recently paased the Senate with amendments, to con- , eurina portion of them, reject the others, and send the bill ton Committee of Confer- ence. Ae did not suppose the House would rs; be detained more than a few minutes. ‘Tho -". pi contains tho appropriations for United 7 States Marshals and thelr Deputies, and the _.. Republicans felt that they would like * g reasonable timo for debate. Mr, Con- ger asked that two hours bo allowed for this purpose, but Mr. McMahon was of . opinion thnt there lind been debate enough, - Atany rate, he saw fit to refuse, when it.sud- denly became apparent that the Republicans would not suffer anything to be done until wes! they had been allowed to record thelr protest .. tothe bill! Mr. Hiscock, speaking for lis alde, said they demanded to be heard, and, failing In that, they would resort to every enown means to retard and block legislation, ‘After a few attempts to Imit the debute by a yote, Mfr. Singleton, of Mississipp!, ANGWILY CLAIMED that if, the Republicans intended to stand in the, way of legislation ‘he should feel ike inaking them responsible for {t before the country, and he moved that the House ad- journ, ‘This motion was lost, and was fol- Jowed by.motion after motion to adjourn, for calls of the House, and for a recess, until 4:10 » o'clock, when a motion for a recess was car oe ried, ‘This was made possible and even ine hen evitablo by an order made last wetk to the * effect that the cvenings of the present week should be set apart for the cousidera- tion of pension cases. At tho hour of thofllousa was obliged to take a recess, ‘unless it had previously adjourned, no imat- ter what its temper may have qeen. Theday was remarkably freo from Incidents, ‘There svas no feellug manifested except a mo- mentary spasm of virtuous Jndignation on the part of Mr. Reagan, of Texus. Mr. Me- Mahon was trying to effect 4 compromise swith the Republican side. They wanted an jour and 9 half for debate, and, ke a Jew peddier, he offered an hour, on the conditlon, however, that Mr. Gartield should have twenty minutes of I. Mr. Garfield sald he svould not enter into, or be part of, any ar rangement unless it WAS ENTIRELY SATISFACTORY Yohlsfriends, Some on the Republican side fected, when McMahon, with simulated generosity, sald in that ense he would allow his colleague (Garfield) the twenty minutes outof histime, But this way too generous for Reagan, who sald rather than agree: to. such n surrender of princlpls he would stay right. there and fight {t out if it took o month, After this there was nothing for It but a renewal of the fight, nnd the roll-calls began amin, It is ditiicult to seo what motive Mr. MeMalion and lis, party friends: can have had in this childish attempt to cut off debate, They certainly could not expect to fen thine, for as it is four hours anda half were, absolutely wasted, and the bill 1s not passed, whorens, If thoy find allowed nit the te asked by’ the Republleans, thoy would have got through with the hit and had two hours and a half to spare, Nor can thoy expect to guln the applause of the coun- try, for thelr unwillingness to allow even 2 fulr discussion will be. construed as narrow and mean, as it itesorves to be, It ds kely that by to-morrow Mr. MeMahon will allow the two hours originally asked for, as this is tho only solution the Republicans will ac- cept. Mr. Rengun sald this afternoon thot the Republican imfnority fn the House rated abpolts ly and molded all legistation to thelr NIP AND TUCK, To the Weatern Asroctated Press, Wasurnaros, D.

Rejected. _. Mr, Garfield suggested that debate should be allowed for an hour and a half. There were severn! gentlemen on his side who de- aired to speak on the bill, Mr. McMahon culled attention to the fret that there was an appropriation in the bill for tho rellef of the oficers and crews of the whaling barks Mount Wollaston and Vix Jant, now linprisoned In the Arctic Ocean, It was important that the bill should puss 03 goun us possible. Ile therefore PRESSED 119 MOTION, # Tho Republicans refusing to vote left tho louse without a quorum, and # call of the louse was ordured, ‘The call showed the presonce of 233 mem: bers, more than a quoritn, 5 ‘A vote was then taken on Imlting the do- bate to five niinutes, und resulted—yeas, 131; ' mays, 8—no quorum. : Mr, Hiscock hoped an hour’s debate would aliowed. ‘The Republican side had shown It was willing to continue Ullbuatering until It had a chance for debate.

Mr, Messin, Feourring to tha pending quios- h L tton, protested against the iden that the ma jority was to be perpetially dictated to by the minority.

Mr. Conger then made a motion to Tmt the debute to one hottr and twenty mimites, but Jn consequence of the absence of a quorim this required unantmons consent, and Mr. Reagan objected, remarking snreastically that the Democratle side had: screwed, Its courage up for half an hour, terriblo Ropublicans would atrain. ‘Attempts to effect a compromise were in vain, amt until 4:30 the time of the House was consurned in roll call, At that time the Honge took a recess until 7:50, the evening session tobe for the consideration of the Pension bills. THE GENEVA AWARD. DEBATE ED. Aptetat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune. Wasutsartos, D. C., April 20—Tho de- bate on the Geneva Award Dill Incked tho displays of oratorical fireworks which so de- lighted the audlence yesterday, Senator Edmunds spoke a length with his usual fin- perturbable self-possession that always com- mands attention; nor did he let his volee run away, but governed it with surpassing skill. He atnted the reason why, In his opiuion, tho insurance companies nro not entitled to any of the award, and he was equally positive in his demonstration that the payers of War premtums were not entitled to any of it; but he was inclined to think that something. should be done for the owners of vessels destroyed by the | ex- culpated — cruisers. What remains of the nward he would have patd into the pub- le Treasury as a small atonement for tho great public Injury committed upon tho people of the United States, 3 Senator ‘Thurman, when, he rose to con- clude the debate, indulged ina doleful jere- mind on the action of Senators during the numerous discussions of the question. When Iegat arguments have been presented, half of tho Senators’ sents havobeen vacated, but when Senators have indulged in wit, repartee, thrust and parry, the Chamber and the galleries have at once been filled. | Malt of the Senators WAVE BEEN ANSENT during the debate, but when 8 vote was to be taken the absentees would come in, saying, “Tow did Dick vote?” or “ How did ‘Tom yote?” or "How did Bob vote?” and as Dick, or Tom, or Bob votad so would thoy vote, ‘Tho Setintor then went over his old ground, soon having more than half the chairs before him yacant,.yet Indulging In the most earnest jury’ oratory, raising his voice ut times to the loudest piteh and mak- Ing a great show of vigor when his argument was the wenkest, Senator Blaine then took the floor for s brief explanation. He read letters from George M. Barnard and George O. Shattuck, whieh proved conclusively the nuthenticlty of the Cushing opinion, ani then produced an nilldavit from McGill, a lob-printer, who had id it for Mr, Cushing, stating the facts ring its publication. Mr, Blaine then briefly answered some of the points made by Thurman and Edimtnds, and BAID, IN CONCLUSION, that there wera two classes of losers,—the men whose ships were burned and went down, and those who. pald War, premiums. ‘The lusnrance companies received lorger sums in War preniums than cov. ered thelr loss. Senator Blatr sald that on. impression hind been eonveyed inthe debate that the payers of War pre- mis were men of wealth in New Hamp. shire. Such was not tha case; they wero men of moderate means, Who owned shares of yessels, and were often themselves ofleers on board orengaged in the carrying. trade, He rend twoletters from Portsmouth estab- lishing his uition Senator ‘Thurmun had expected to lave had fn vote, but ag it was late he tmoved an adjournment until to-morrow, It ts under- stood that a voto is to be takenon Mr. Honr's: amendment, whieh ts the tira in order, im- mediately after the morning hour, THE DEBATE, To the Weatern Assoctated Pres Wasmxaton, D.C.

Not for a moment, {tis true, the Supreme Court holds that thore were two aspects to our War, aud that the perons engaged init were guilty of treason, and were also subject to municipal law; but that fact does not help this ease; because every one of these ucts of destruction that becutns w subject of discussion betweon the tivo Governments, and subject of award, were publie ucts of destruction, and, Lita muntelpal sense, the Government of Great Britain had nothing whatever to do with ft She was NO PANTY TO THK QUESTION of whether the aficers {n command of these cruisers, fitted out fn her port were guilt) of treason against the United States or no and treason Is tot go. olfensive’s word 13 some people supposa it to be, because our forefathers were guilty of treason in mu- nielpal senge in achicving our Hburtics, only they gucceedadl, and there was no convenien' punishing of them.

WwooD PULP. AN INDIFFERENT COMMITTFE, Bpectat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune Wasutxatoy, D. G., April 20.—The differ- ence in energy between the tariff men and the revenue reformers, so-called, was strik- Incly {lustrated again to-day in what was expected toboashowing up by Mr. Springer of some of the enormities of the Voelter wood- pulp patent. It lias been advertised in the newspapers for several: days that to-day Mr. Springer’s bill to repeat the act of 2877 by which the Voelter patent was extended for seven years was passed would bo discussed in Committeo. It was said that Mr. Springer: would oxpose some rascallty onthe partof Mr. Stowell, at that time a member of Congress from Virginia, by whose misrepresentations, amounting, In fact, to fraud, Mr. Springer had been Induced to withdraw his objection to.tho bill when an objection might have Killed it. It wns in tho small hours. of a night session on the 2d (really the 3d) of Mareh, when this bill, already: passed by the Senate, lay upon the Spenker’s table. ‘There was a great deal of confusion, for it was dur ing the FAMOUS DAYS OF TI ELECTORAT, COUNT. Mr. Springer, thinking the bill wasn Tlouse bill, made tho objection noted, when Mr. Stowell ‘came over and sald tho bill had been reported unanimously from the Patent Com- mittee. Mr. Springer, thinking the House Patent Comittee was meant, withdrew his objection. It turned out, however, that Stow- ell meant the Senate Committee, which was Republican, and of which Mr, Wad- leigh, of New Ilnmpshtre, was Chair- man. ‘The charges against Wadleigh in connection with thls have passed into his- tory as part of the literature of tho Inte Sen- ntorlal enmpaign in that State, When, there- fore, tho Patent Committee met to-day, It was expeeted that Mx. Springer would have something particularly Interesting and new to say why the Voclter Patent Extension act should be repeated. Mr. Springer was not present, however, nor was his colleague, Mr ‘Townshend, amember of the Patent Com- mittee, and who has special charge of Mr. Springer’s bill to repeal tho law: of 1877, But Mr. Causteen Brown, an ndrolt lawyer from Boston, was thera In the interest of the owner of the Vorlter putent, aecompanicd by Mr, Dick Spofford, fnother Boston lawyer. Mr. Brown, being MASTER OF THE SITUATION, was pleased to Indulge In some caustic, re- nuirks wt the expense of Mr, Spripger and his bi. What woulddt please the Committee that he should say inthe absence of any cnse? ‘The Committee evidently | didn’t know, and n messenger was sent for Mr. Springer, who was in his own committee- Tonk ee doors distant, and another was dispatched to look op Mr ‘Towns hend, Mr. Brown, in the meantime, expressed — surprise | thnt he should have been summoned from Boston to come here and beat the alr, Mr. Townshend then arrived and went over the story of the night session somewhnt Inaccurately ns to names and dates, but beyond that he know nothing of the ense, He did not seem to think f necessary that anybody {Interested In the re peal of the act ahould inke the trouble to in- form himself of its effect, or whit the details of {ts reform, should be. aveond messnge brought Mr. Springer, who had been detained in his committee-room listening to o. diverting, story told by Mr. Held, of the Blectlons Committee, who spins yarn niurvelously well, Mr. Springer ar- rived when the hour was half few moments ‘he explained the night session, ‘Thore SEEMED TO Wt A DISPOSITION ‘on tho part of Mr, ‘Townshend to hear Bfr, Brown. state the ‘case. ‘The Committee gecmed Indifferent, and Mr. Springer, on making his brief explanation, vanished, Mr, Brown evidently enjoyed the absurdity of the situation, As the time for tha hear ing had expired, he ox plained — that it would be fimpossible for him | to return to Washington sooner, than to-day twa weoks, He then inquired what sort of vrep- aration ha should make to ba prepared to argue tho Inw or the facts, or both, Did the Committee intend to examine whether tho Tnw was passed by fraud?

An which case all dhe eluments of novelty and one, und dno 0 Incldent of the ike, which constitute the elaiin fora patent,’ must be entered into, He wanted to know something | of 8 scope of the psuposed inquiry, as his ino of preparation would largely bo controlled thereby. ‘The best anawer'he could get was that ho inust be ready to answer all quea- tions, and with this Inma conclusion the hearing ended, It is not diMeult to foresee the end of tis controversy, 18 tt waa not dificult to see Itin the mutter of tha wood- puie discussion before the Ways and Means Tomuittee.

The House met at 7:30, and Immediately went into Cominittes of the Wholo (Mr. Ste- yenson in the chair) on the private calendar, For oyer three hours the Committee re- mained in session, passing upon some dozen pension bills, At times the discussion be- came acrimonious, the first tito the even.
