Several memibers com- pinined that thelr particular districts were overlooked by the Cotnmittee on Comuneree, while severnl other membors expressed them- selves fully satlstied. Mr., Robeson expressed Iils purpose to vots against the liem for the improvement of the Mississippl River, which ho characterized ns n scheme to bene- fit private property at tho public ex- pense. The Xustern members geners rlly scemed opposed to the blll. The chief inculent of the debate, however, was the “flare-up? betwean Cox and Reagan, T'ho Intter took objection to the *'Hl-untured and ungenerous flings” which Cox Indulged ina few days ngo at tho expense of the Com- mittee on Commerce and his (Reagnn's) ex pense in partienlar. Cox did not mend matters by insinuating, in his peenliar waspish manner, that Reagan was pursiting his privite Interest at the expense of the general interest. Some lively spar- ring then took place, during which Cox re- minded Reagan that he was o Itebel whilo he (Cox) was n loyal man. Rengan retorted by Implying that Cox wus a demagog. Finally, and after 1t looked ns i€ the two Democratic members would not be satlstied without gonl, Cox expressed sorrow for his exhibition of temper, und tho Repub- liecans sadly witnessed the curtain fall on the Hvely seene. A Trnric explosion was caused in a coal mine u few miles south of Sulens, 0., yester- day by the stupldity and plgheadedness of n man named Smith, who, contrary to the orders of the mine superintend- ent, went Into a win® room with a llghted lnmp.

Wastisarox, D C,, -Feb, 10,~Chalrman Reagan to-day not only dit not sceure the ruling that the River and 1farbor LIl need not be read Lz Committee of the Whole by sections, but, on his nppeal from the dectslon of the Chair that the bHI must be read, this decision was sustalued by nn_overwhelming mujority, Rengan belng abludo scenre only six votes In favor of his proposition. The ellect of Reagan’s motion, it 1t had prevalled, would have been to have destroyed the con- stitutional chnyaeter of the Connnittee of the Whole, and to havo infroduced n gag-taw Into the deliberations of the Connmittee, where every member hns the right to repre- gent his constituents without belng overrfd- den by the force of purly majority, MIL ATKING, Cheirman of th .\mn:}m'lnl ons Committee, raised the warning™ volck that, *12 Lo debate could not be stopped un extra session woullt be fuevitable. The alariw was not without cause. ‘I'e support- crsof tho measure still say that those who are making the contest ngalust it are » sore- headed opposition. . But, whatever their mo- tives, thoy havedealt powerful blows agalnst the bill, and lve made its fate uncertain, There was a good deal of opposition, on the groudd that the Comumittes had not mnde a falr distribution of the money appropriated by the bill, PAGE, OF CALIFOBNIA, for Instance, insisted that the Committee hnd not recognized the fuet that the United States extended west of the Mississippl River, aml had only given §180,000 for the 1,700 miles of Paclie const, with its great rlvers navigable for hundreds of miles, while $200,000 had Dbeen assigued to the Great Kannwha In West Virginla,—a eritlelsm which scemed very Just. Idut the more radienl objections were to tho cffect that tho propused approprias tlon of £1,600,000 for the Improvement of the Mississippl River between Calro aml New Orleans was not properly limited, and ihat, under it, it would be very probable that the entire amount would be appropri- ated for fitling the gaps In the levees, Instend of for the improvement of the ehnnnel for navigation purposes, Mit, IOBINSON, of Massachnsetts, was the leader of this movement, 113 opposition created dismay among the representatives of the Lower Mis- sissippl, Mr, Robinson clearly showed the dangers of the bltk, and, whils declarlng hime 8ol In favor of uppropriations which should fmprovo the navigation of that river, did pro-, test that 1t was not within the author- ity of Cougress to approprinte toney to Dbulld levees to prevent alluvinl Innds from overtlow, but that this should be done by private enterprise. Mr. Robeson, of New Jersey, INTHODUCED A POLITICAT FEATURE into the diseussion by suggesting to the Rep- resentatlves of tho Lower Mississippi States that It was well for them {o conslder that there was something wore in the Nation thann purse, amd that natlonal approprintions for these States Implied a recognition of natlonnl authority throughout all their borders, and the maintonance of n govermnent where Amerlean cltizens shonld bo free, Tho Southern men generally nmintafued with great” carnestness — that the approprintions were In - no sensy Intended for the levees, but Mv, Chinlimers, of Mississippi, disturbed theiv ealenintlons by the frank udmisston that 1t was expeeted that the monoy would glve what ho callet “Ineldental proteetlon " to the nwaers of the alluvial Innds, and - that the sugar i cotton planters were us much entitied to have the Government by sueh a system of incldental proteetion keep the water within the chimmel a8 Now England munufactuvers wers entitled 1o tho benelits of wprotective tarltf, To the debate which has now bewun thero seoms to be no turn, 1t can hurdly bo lmited ox- cept by compromise, and, i€ this great billEs to bo considered paragraph by parie graph, each line of the bill, which Is o small voluwe, containing appropriations of vast sums of money, the discussion will Inst at least o week, The friemds of the bill are very wich -alarmed at the situatlon, and many fear that the bilt will fafl, and that there may be dunger of an oxtrn svsslon, TUE INCIDENTS OF THE DAY'S DEBATE were intevesting und exciting, Mr. Reagan oxplalued the measuro in a very earnest speceh, maintalulng that the approprintions were unitormly equitable and necessary, Mr. Cox returned to nis rusping nsssults upon the bill, and became involved In what at one time threatencd to bu a personal difficully with Reagan. ‘The latter, frritated at tho successful owposition led by Mr. Cox, wus met in good humor, and it is due In part to his bad temperand his werse management that the bl i3 lu tho bad pev=on which it now ocenples. It seems that, when Mr | teugan left the House to foin the Confed- | uracy there was very bitter fecling between I Nimselt and Mr, Coy, who remalned in the House and stood by the Union, To this Mr, Cox referrnd lny, Wl passlon was lgh, stattng that Leagan, when heleft to Joln the Rebelllon, fired a purting shol at hlm, Mr, Cox, notwithstanding his popularity with the South, very nearly placed hinselt in the isolntion of Gen, Dragg on aceountof this unfortunate reference to the Rebellion, which was GREETED WITH JEENS AND MISSES onthe Democratic side. The passage be- tween Cox and Rengan was very ncrimonl- ous, and at ane time was threatening, Mr. Cox even huitated tho lofty manner of Senator Conkilng In his controversy with “Hamburg ” Butler, the other day, andsalkl that he would let Beagan's denunclation go by as the fale wind, Finnlly, Mr. Cox turned Mr, Rengan's anger into lnughter, and con- vitlsed the House by statlng that he would not say he did not care what Mr, Iteagan would say here or elsewhere; but, 1€ he wanted to make trouble with him outside of the Tlouse, hie (Cox) shoull ehoose harpoons, and he would then have a great advantage. Mr., Reagan Is n very large man, and woull present a better surface for a harpoon thun Mr, Cox, who s exceedingly small, ‘The #rotesqueness of the retort convulsed the House in laughter, In which Mr, Iteagan himself jotned, and the incldent passed. MIL CANNON, OF ILLINO, spoke In favor of the bill generally, stating that it was the fafrest presented since he had beenn member of Congress, He favored wiater transportation as a means of competi- tlon ‘with rallrods, and sald that the inter- State contmeree Is now twenty thues as Jargo ns our foreign commerce, The approprine tion of more than $1.000,000 for the Missis- slopl River and it tributaries he believed to be right. . Mr, Ilenderson, of Illnols, n mem- ber of the Commerce Conimittee, replying to the statements by Mr. Cox, said that the £912,000 which It was charged wus appropri- ated for Iiflnoks was o gross exuaggerations thut the anount, on the contrary, should he distributed to both banks of the Ohlo and Mississlppt Rivers and to the lakes. Mr, Henderson defended the general scopeof the bill, and elahned that the West ought to by well -sntisfied with the b, ns the eleven States on the Mississippi River, with a popu- Intion of 15,000,000, have received a (hird of the entive avuropriation. Mr. Hawk, of I1ii- nols, made an earnest plea for an additional appropriation for the Galena River, TIIE DEBATE. FROM *'THE BECOND." WastiNaToN, . C, Feb, 10.~Mr, Reagan moved that the Jlouse go Into Comnuittee of the Whole on the River and Huarbor Appro- priation blll, and though the motlon was antagonized by Mr, Cox with the Apportion- nmentbill, it prevailed,—ycas 150, nays 79,— nnd the Housu thereupon went into such Conumitteo (M, Carllsle In the chair) on the tirst-named measure. Mr, Reagan fnstanced the fact that France, with a terrltory conslderably‘smatler than Texns, gave ten millions o year to mprove her rivers and harbors, 1lere was o country stretehing from ocean to ocean, with fifty million population, with larger resources springing from the fields, forests, and mines thun any other country under the sun, and yet the Amerlean Congress wans hagzhing over $10,000000 for the improvement of water transportation, while the owners of rafironds, ns « matter of private enterprise, GAVE §400,000,000 8IMPLY FOR REPAIRS. Hll-nntared, ungenerous flings nt the Com- mittee on Commeree for discharging its duty to tho country were bencsth contempt. The gentleman from New York (Cox) had meant to make u fling at him (Reagan) personally, Huo could generally afford to let {hat gentle- maw's darts full havmiess from theshicld which he could never perotrate, becanse of that sense of rectitude which shrank from no duty, The gentleman from New York Tand lust year sppenled to the Committes for 87,000,000 for the Improvement of Harlem River, He (Reagun) appenled to the Com- mitteo of the Whole to udopt the bill without umendment, for, if the blll were subjected to amendment, It would in the end appropriate $10,000,000 or $18,000,000, Mr. Cux sald it had never been charged against hlm, even by Itepublicans, that he il pursued bis private Interest at the ex- pense of the general Interest, Mr. Reagan=-Does the gentleman iutend to assiume, by lnplication, that 1 have done so? I DEMAND AN ANSWER, Tho unswer not- belng satisfuctory, Mr, Reagan ngain demanded of Mr, Cox if he (Cox) had intended to Intlmate that he (Iteas gan) had neted dishonestly, Mr: Cox's veply, whieh could not be heard, was evidently unsatisfactory, for Mv Rea- gan's next renmrk wasthat Cox was as polite aslanderer as ho had ever seen, and o inan capablo of making fulse stntements within Iartlamentiney rules, Mr. Cox (Innn Irritnted manner)—When the gentlemnn left the House, years ago, he left it with u parting shot at me’ beenuse [ stood by the Union.
