It will be remembered that when Engineer Melville started on the Jeannette expedition, he lett in- structions to have $90 of nis monthly salary given to his wite. Durivg his absence he was promoted, and as there was but little hope of his safety, hls Wife’s allotment was Increased to $140 per_month When it became known that he was safe, the Sec- retary of the Navy considered that he had no power to continue the increase of Mrs. Melvlile’s allotment without Instructions from her husband, and it Was reduced to the original amount. Sec: retary Chandler explained {t to Mrs. Melville, but aliov.ed her to draw part of her allotment in ad- Yance, and also sent a cable message to Engineer Melville, asking his wishes in the matter.

Y.) reported in the Senate to-Aey favorabiy from the commerce committee, withou amendment, the House bill to regulate immi tion. He gave notice that he would call it up at an early day Mr. Garland reported from the judiclary. com- mittcee the House bill to fx the tues for holding the terms of circuit and district courts of the j Gaited States In the northern district of Onto. Passed. A proposition from the printing committee to Print 13,000 copies of the report of the commis- sioner oi education, instead of 20,000, as originally proposed by the resolution referred to then, was strenously opposed by Mr. Blair, who urged the exceptional value and finportance of the work. ‘The reduction proposed by the committee was sup- ported upon economical grounds and finally pre- valled, 38 (0 30. ‘The House post route bill was reported from the post office committee by Mr. Ferry. Ordered printed and recommitted. Mr. Rollins presented an explanatory statement, which, he said, had been rendered negessary by & table set forth in the recent speech of Mr. Beck, and which showed clearly that there had been no Increase of pay by reason of promotions on the re- tired list of the navy. The statement, with an accompanying letter from the Secretary of the Navy, Was ordered printed in the Record. A QUESTION OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE. Mr. Butler, risinr to a question of personal priv- ilege, remarked that he observed in the Record of this morning that a person, in another place, in discussing a contested election case had made a Wanton attuck upon his (Mr. Butler's) characterand committed a beach of parilamentary privilege, for which he was not called to order. He would not, at this late day, be betrayed intoa contro- versy with this individual, whose acquaintance he had never had the misfortune to make, but would rather Icav2 him to the judgment and contempt of all honorable men for attacking another ina forum in witch he could not be answered, and, under cover of the privileges of the forum, deciin= ing to allow acorrection of the falsehoods he was uttering or his garbling of the evidence, perver- sion of the truth and falsification of the Record. He (Mr. Butler) had withstood the mastiffs of the republican rty in the past and could afford to this brief notice the yelpings oF this cur of low degree. ‘The name of this creature, he uel H. Miller. offered a resolution calling on the ry of the Treasury for a report upon the tate and territory from 1789 30, 1882, for rivers and harbors ‘and public buildings.’ Lat over. THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. Mr. MeMilian submitted the conference report on the river and harbor bill, and asked for imme- diate consideration. Mr. Allison opposed concurrence in the report, saying he was unwilling to have all the creeks an little streams in the country provided for and the four important provisions of the bili, (the M slopl riker appropriation, Hennepin and Delaware and Chesapeake canis and Potomac flats amend- ment,) affecting m ly the commercial inter- en out. Logan entered upon a discuss interrupted by Mr. told him he was out of order, when the Senator from chuseits discussed : when he proposed to 1% Was Not right, because hi oted against the bill. He said he did not want to get Into a wi ‘ith Mr.Cameron, but he would hot be called to order by anybody but the Presi- dent of the Senate. Mr. €. on thi pealed to the chair toknow on before the Senate, the que air decided that debate of the bill was not ls satd there were singular, extradral- inister provisions In the Dill He thought the members of the committee had taken 2re of their own sta There was some confusion, several Senators seeking recognition at the same time; some want- ing to nou-concur in the entire report, and some advising to adopt itso far as the conferees had agreed. ‘The question which arose was as to whether the Senate should agree to the report of the conter- ence committee, leaving four provisions of the bill unsettled, or to reject It, s Mr. Ferry maintained that the report must be adopted asa whole or rejected; it could not be amended Mr. Ingalls safd he had sald there were sinister provistons in the bill to which the Senator from Minnesota (MeMiltan) had taken exception. He sald he would proceed to substantlate his asser- tion. Mr. MeMillan.—Mr. President, the record will not sustain the truth of the allegation. Mr. Ingulls said 1t would; that the amendments which had been given away were those which be- longed to states in which the members of the com- mittee did not reside, while the states in which the members of the committee on commerce and the committee on conference did reside had been note fly,conspicuously and shamelessly taken care of. He Said the Senator from North Carolina (Mr, Ransom),Was a member of both thos committees, and he read a lst of North Carolina appropria- tions, and asked, “Will they stretch out to the crack of doom ?”” He next bezan to read increases for Michigan, calling attention to the fact th ae Conger was a imember of the commerce co! mittee. Mr. Ferry made a point on him by expressing the fact that Mr. Ingalls had made a mistake In Teading $15,000 for $10,000; and after some words, Mr. Ferry’ asked Mr. Ingalls, sarcastically, “to read the amendments correctly.” Mr, Ingalis created considerable amusement by selecting the Senators who were members of the commerce committee, before reading the Increases for those states. Mr. McMillan said Mr. Ingalls had admitted that he was not informed as tothe report. Mr. Ingalls retorted¢ “I’m trying to get information, and I think I’ve elicited some of an interesting char- acter.” ‘Mr. McMillan in an earnest manner said: ‘We all know that the Senator from Kansas (Ingalls), 4s a paragon of perfection tn everything that per- tains to Integrity, and that nothing he would do could b2 questioned. He has attacked this report in terms ungentlemanly,unjust and without a par- ticle of foundation.” He then went on to point out alleged mistakes made by Mr. Ingalls. Mr. Mc- Millan accused Mr. Slater, who had pointed out @ reduction made in conference of an appropria- ton for Oregon, of attempting to “aid the Senator from Kansas in maintaining a position that was false.” Mr. McMillan sald all the money for rivers and harbors had been expended By the Secretary of War and chief of engineers, and _he defied Mr. Ingalls to point out any scandal that had ever ‘n from the expenditure. Ingalls (walking up and down back of the seats).—The whole bill is scandal enough. ‘Mr. McMillan, in an excited manner, sald there were no star route scandals or other Scandals in the expenditure of the river and harbor appropri- ations. He said Mr. Ingalls had chi that it the report was agreed to the conferees intended to abandon the appropriation for the flats and for the two canals. He would say that the charge was false; that assertion was without foundation en- tirely. He would not allow the Senator to impugn the motives of a committee of which he was a member. declared that it was the duty of the Mr. Kell Representative from the Mississippl valley to stand 4 the appropriation in the river and har- bor bill for the Mississippi river, if every other provision of the bill should fail. Mr. McMillan said the Mississippi river appro- ) al had not been left out; it was. to yy the House conferees, but the Senate conferees had insisted upon ft. Mr. Ransom declared that no man had a deeper interest inthe Potomac flats than he. It could not reasonably be supposed that after what had occurred in the Senate during the last ten days that he would assent toa plan that would even contemplate the abandonment of the flats appro- riation. The assertion was without any founda- ion, he said. He condemned the critici that had been made upon the commerce committee and conferees as unjust and unfounded. Nominations To-day. The President sent the following nominations to the Senate to-day: . Charles W. Pavey, collector internal revenue 18th District Iilinois., ‘Peter Shroyer, at Chatsworth, Postmasters—! TL; William E.

Mr. Page submitted the conference report on the river and harbor bill, The report (which is a dis- ageelng one,) was adopted; and a new conference, consisting of Me Page, Townsend, and Mc- 5 ordered. Neill, from the committee on appropria- tions, reported the pensfon appropriazion bill with Senate amendments, and the amendments were all concurred in except one, which was verbally changed. ‘This will necessitate a return of the Diil to the Senate. ‘THE DEFICIENCY BILL. Mr. Hiscock submitted the conference report on the general deficiency appropriation bill. The report states that all the differences between the two houses have been reconciled, except that rel- ative to the mileage of Senators for the extra session. The recommendations of the committee on conference were adopted, so far as the items which were not disputed were concerned. Mr. Hiscock moved that the House recede from. its disagreement to the Senate amendment rela- tive to ‘the mileage of Senators. Lost—yeas 6), nays 98. Amgng the amendments of the Senate which were agreed to 1s that for the payment of the phy- sictans attending the late President Garfield. A further conference was then ordered, committee, consisting of Messrs. Hiscock, Ri and Cox of N, Y., was appointed. Mr. Hiscock asked and received unanimous con- sent to have the conference committee incorporate in the bill an item of $6,923 to supply a deficiency in the appropriation for the payment of the sil- ary and mileage of members of the 47th Con- gress. The District in Congress. FOR THE PROTECTION OF ANIMALS. Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, to-day presented a petition f m 19 members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of the District, asking for the passage of the House bill to in- crease the police force, with an amendment that one of the policemen provided for shail be detailed spectally to see that the laws for the protection of dumb animals shail be enforced. ‘The petition Tecites that there are no means for enforcing these laws. Referred to the District committee. Capitol Notes. ‘The House has appointed the same conference managers on the river and harbor appropriation bil. A meeting of the committee will be held to- day. Mr. Page had hoped the House would. in- struct its conferees as to the Potomac flats and the increased appropriation for the Mississippi river, Itdid not, however. Asa matter of fact, two of the House conferees managers favor the Potomac flats amendment, and would feel re- lieved 1€ the House would instruct them to sup- port it. ‘The House yesterday afternoon adopted a reso- lution declaring vacant the seat of Mr. Shelley (dem.), from the fourth Alabama district.

Beall, late chief clerk in chargé of spectal assessments, were yesterday relleved from duty by the District Com- missioners, there belng no appropriation out of which they could be paid, and the Commissioners are to-day considering a feadjustment of tho ei- ployes o¢ the various finaneial bureaus of the Dis- trict. ‘The object of the Camuatssioners will be to keep within the appropriations in all expendi- tures, and by commencing the fiscal year on the proper basis, no further reduction of the force will be needed. SANITARY PRECAUTIONS. The Commissioners are on the alert with refer- ence to the sanitary condition of the city, and, although the general condition of the public health creates at the present time no specfal ap- prehenstons, yet precautionary measures are con- sidered desirable. Upon the requisition of the health officer, three hundred barrels of lime have ‘been ordered for disinfecting purposes, and Dr. Townshend, by direction of the Commisstoners, 1s stimulating increased activity among his force.

IMPORTANT RULING OF JUDGE WYLIE. WALSWS TESTIMONY ADMITTED, HE TELLS HIS STORY IN COURT. RELATES HIS INTERVIEW WITH BRADY. When the Criminal Court assembled this morn- ing Judge Wylie at once proceeded to deliver his decision respecting the objections to the testimony of John A. Walsh, offered by the prosecution in the star route trial. The question which had been so ably argued, he said, was one of great interest itself and great importance to this case. It wasa question by no means free of dimculty, but it was 8 question which the court has not decided in this case, and on which it had not expressed any opin- ion by which the court felt at all bound. Early in the case his impression was that the individual admission of any one of the defendants was not to be received in evidence unless it was a declara- tlon which he had made whilst engaged in the prosecution of the objects of the conspiracy, and hat the others would not b> bouad except accord- ing to the rules which apply to the doctrine of agency. No man can be bound by the declara- tions ‘or acts of another unless that person is in some way Sauthorized to do the acts or make the declarations. In regard to conspiracy the authorities laid down the rule that the offence could be made out by separate proof of distinct acts of the several defendants at different times. The law allowed all the circumstances, whether declarations or acts, to be proved, provid- ing they were not wholly irrelevant. After all these circumstances were shown they may be brought together and compared and determined whether, iu their collective form, they make out the charge. It is not unlawful; it is not trregular, ona trial for conspiracy, to prove the separate acts of @ party; and these separate acts are al- lowed to be proved because they may be brought together so that the court and jury inay consider them. In regard to the declarations or admissions Gf the several partics, they of course are not evi- dence against the others, unless they were made to further the objects of the conspiracy. This doc- trine was laid down in Greenleaf. The court Tead from section 233 of Greenleaf as to thts prin- ciple. The evidence now before the court was not to prove any fact against the other conspirators, It was for the purpose of proving the confession of one of the conspirators as to his own act. It seemed to him that If the several acts of the de- fendants may be proved separately so the adints- sions of the several defendants may be admitted Mevidence. Referring again to Greenteaf, Judge Wylie said in a joint civil sult the several declara— tions of the defendants may be given in evidence against the several partes making it, and the doctrine was that the sane rule would apply in a. criminal case, and the several_admissions of the defendants were admissible. All the text books he had examined, whilst very emphatic in excluding the declarations of the several defendants not made in furtherance of the conspiracy, were care- ful to reserve from the applications of that rule admissions or declarations of one of the severa defendants, which they declare may be rn against him alone. That was not an exception to the rule, but a case to which the principte of the rule Was held not to apply. The only direct de- cision upon the ques which he had met with was that referred to by Messrs. Ler and Merrick, in the 14th of Blatchfert—the ensy of the nited States agt. Grant. He could not re was any ground of distinction between that and this. So far as that case was authority, med to rule the present. In the McKenna e, reported in the Iris Court Reports, page 461, there was a distinction. McKenna was the only nt brought to trial, and his confession convicted hj There Was no goo. reason to doubt the aduissibility of his own confession, when he was tl y person on trial For the Teasons le had ed he thought the evidence offered wa3 admissible. It was Said tuat, adinit- tng the facts set out in this offer, they had no tendency to prove the chargé of con- Spiracy, for the reason that the declaration made by Brady amounted to nothing more than that he had been in the habit of accepting bribes. If that offer stood alone possibly it would amount: to nothing more; but Brady was a defendant In this case.” It had been proved that he had rela- tons with these parties; that in their favor large allowances for expedition had been made. In vie Of these facts, It 1s by no means a strained con- struction that if the facts set out in that offer were proved that these favors were obtained by the allowances set out in that offer, itwould tend strongly to show the corrupt nature of the rela- tions of the parties. It was not necessary for an admission to be very aistinct. A man’s very si- lence may be construed to be an admission Whether the statements made in this offer are to be applied so as to constitute a part of the evi- dence of conspiracy will depend very much on the credit the jury {fives to the testimony. On the face of the testimony it appears to tend very strongty to prove the conspiracy. The court would admit the evidence. AN EXCEPTION NOTED, Mr. Totten noted an exception. Walsh’s Testimony. ‘HIS INTERVIEW WITH BRADY. Mr. Bliss then called Mr. Walsh to the stand, and the examination which was interrupted last Tuesday was resumed: Mr. Bliss asked what oc- curred at the Interview between himself and Mr. Brady on December 28, 1880, at the house of Gen. Geo. Sheridan. Mr. Walsh said he had the interview for the urpose of having a scttlement with Mr. Brady lor Matters pending between them. It would be difficult to recite the exact language used. ‘The matter of general topic was introduced, and also Hinds’ effort to provoke an investigation. Wit- ness told Brady that he had suffered financial Joss and SUGGESTED TO BRADY THAT HE SETTLE. Brady asked him for the data, and witness laid the notes on the table. Witness sald there was no agreement as to interest, and he would leave it to him esa to determine it.
