LAST DAYS OF CONGRESS. THE TARIFF, BILL CONFERENCE. HITCHES IN BOTH HOUSES. Senate Proceedings. Mr. Edmunds, from the .committeé on the Judiciary, reported adversely in the Senate to-day the House bill to provide for the restoratton of citizenship of such citizens of the United States as have become naturalized citizens of Great Britain, Mr. Tabor offered a jotnt resolution providing for participation by the government in the na- tional mining and industrial expositton to be heid at Denver, Col. THE TARIFF CONFERENCE. A message was received announcing the names of the House conferees onthe internal revenue and tariff bil. At Mr. Garland’s request the mes- sage was read. . Garland asked to have read from the Con- gressional Record the resolgtion of the House in- structing its conferees “to gonsider fully the con- stitutfonal objections to thé internal revenue Dill as amended by the Senate, ahd to pring the same, together with the opinion of the House in regard thereto, before the committge of conference,” etc., and moved to reconsider themotion by which the Senate had agreed to a conference. Mr. Ingalls raised the polm: of order that it was not In order to read or to refer to particular words or acts of the other house upon pending measures. The matter which Mr. Ga¥land destred'read not having yet been specified, tf 3President said there ‘Was no such question before che Senate. Mr. Ingalls said that if thé chair would inspect ‘tue matter proposed to be réad he would seo that {t was a report of the action of the House of Rep- esentatives on a measure pending between the two houses; and while he (Mr. Ingalls) thought thatthe action of the House was disingenuou: and that under it a “ full and free conterence could not be had, he yet thought that it was not in order to Nad extracts from the record as the basis for a motion to reconsider. Mr. Garland said that what he desired to have Tead was contained in the offictal record, made for the express purpose of informing Congress and the public of what was being done, ‘The President sald he saw no objection to read- ing the resolution, and o¥erruled the point of order. re Mr. Bayard thought it was not in order to have the record of the House proceedings read for the purpose of affecting the action of the Senate. He agreed with Mr. Garland, that the Sonate had ap- pointed its committee for a full and free confer- ence and no other, and said that if, upon meetin, the House committee, the capferees on the part of the Senate should find that such a conference could not be had, tt would be thelr duty to return and report that fact to the Senate. Mr. Garland said that his motion to reconsider Was male in good fatth. After further debate, the Senate, by a vote of 26 to 24, defeated motion offered by Mr. Edmunds to lay Mr. Garland’s motion on the table, AN AGREEMENT REACHED. The President having finally ruled that It was Not in order to read the action of the House from the record as Mr. Garland had proposed, Mr. Gar- land Sage the decision, After the ques- tion had been debated for some time, Mr. Ingalls offered a resolution declaring, 38 to be the opinion of the Senate that the conferenoe should be full and free, and instructing the Senate conferees if they found that any limitation was placed by the House on the action of tts eommittee to retire and Teport that fact to the Senate for its consideration, r, Sherman at first objected to the resolution, but withdrew his objection ister, and the resolu- Uon was agreed to without e division. Mr. Garland then withdrew his appeal, and the Senate resumed the consideration of the bill to ive Increased pensions to one-armed and one- legged soldiers. House of Representatives, MESSRS. RANDALL, MORRISON AND TUCKER DECLINE TO SERVE ON THE CONFERBNCE COMMITTEE ON THE TARIFF BILL. Immediately after the reading of the journal, Mr. Randall rose and sai¢:—Mr. Speaker,if I had followed my impulses on the moment of the an- nouncement of the conferees on the part of the House on the differences between the two Houses in reference to tax and tariff legislation, I would have then and there declined service, but I pre- ferred to act after reflection and deliberation, and thus avoid the semblance of what might be thought hasty action. Seldom, if ever, during my servico in this House, have I avoided duty or responsi- bility, but in this instance I feel I can better servo the interests of my state hy a relinquishment of the labor assigned to me, Tam thé more recon- clled to this course because of the fact that I leave behind me on the committee of conference a mem- ber representing my own state, and in fact my own city, one who has devoted a lifetime to the subjects’ in controversy. Whatever report may come as a result of this action of the House, when {t is presented, I shall be more at liberty to pur- sue Such @ course on its consideration as will en- able me to best promote the great industrial in- terests of the country as to rates and within roper imitation. ‘Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I oak be relieved from the service you were kind enough to assign me to, Mr. Ander<on sarcastically suggested that Mr. Russell Errett be appointed to Mil the vacancy. ‘The Speaker.—The gentleman will be relieved, and the chair appoints Mr. Morrison. “ Trespectiully decline to serve,” sald Mr. Mor- rison, rising. The Speaker.—The chair will appoint to fill the ‘vacancy occasioned by the declination the gentle- man from Virginia, Mr. Tucker. “As the third appolntee,” sald Mr, Tucker, “I decline to serve.” The Speaker.—The chair will take the matter under consideration. ‘MR. COX APOLOGIZES. Mr. Page, of California, rising to a question of privilege, called attention fo some sharp words which had passed between Mr. Cox (New York) and himself last evening, aud expressed his hope that the gentleman would “see fit to offer an apology for his personal remarks, Mr. Cox expressed his high regard for the gen- tleman trom California, and said: My friend 1s going home to California, and I would not have him take away a single feeling of resentment against me; therefore, in the presence of the jouse I make the amplest apology. [Applause.] Mr. Paul, of Virginia, trom the committee on elections, reported a resolution granting $4,675 to Mz D. Bail to cover his expenses in seeking to be admitted as a delegate from Alaska, Refer the private calender. THE RIVER AND BARBOR BILL ‘The House then, at 11:48, went into committee of the whole (Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, in the chair) on the state of the Union, and after a brief con- test in regard tothe respective claims for prece- dence of the defictency and river and harbor bills, the consideratton of the latter measure was re- sumed, and debate on it was in progress when our Teport closed, Capitol Notes.

In the House yesterday, after our report closed, Mr. Haskell’s substitute for Mr. Hammona’s reso- lution was adopted. It provides that the conferees on the part of the House on the conference com- mittee on the Senate tariff bill consider fully the constitutional objection to sald billas amended by the Senate, “and to bring the same, together [ith the opinicn of the House in respect thereto, before said committee on comference, and if noces- sary in their opinion, after having conferred wit the Senate conferees, said conferees on sald com- mittee may make report to the House tn regard to sald btll herein referred to.” The tariff Dill was then called up, the Senate amendments non-con- curred in and the bill sent to a conference com- mittee, The conferees on the part of the House are Messrs.

SHARP COLLOQUY OF MESSRS. MERRICK AND INGERSOLL. THE STAR ROUTE THE FORMER SAID HE NEVER GAVE RE- GARD TO PUPPIES, AND THE LATTER RE- TORTED YOU ARE “A DIRTY DOG.” When the star route trial was resumed this morning Mr. Ingersoll continued his cross-exami- nation of Rerdell, beginning first with questions concerning the various papers which the witness identified in his examination as having been writ- ten by Dorsey, who the witness testified signed the name of J. M. Peck to a number of papers. SHARP COLLOQUY BETWEEN MESSRS. MERRICK AND INGERSOLL, The witness said he thought it was In the month of June that he went with Dorsey to Middleton’s bank before going to Brady’s office. Mr. Ingersoll having pressed a question about the checl before the witness had finished his reply, Mr. Merrick said: “I object, your honor.” “1 don't care about your objection. Tam through with that,” said Mr. Ingersoll, sharpl; “I object to it,” repeated’ Mr. Merrick to the “Were you Interrupted in your reply?” asked the court of the witness. “Yes, sir,” said the witness. “1 don’t wish,” said Mr. Iagersoll, “to be inter- rupted by the prosecution.” “T don’t regurd the wishes of counsel in making objections,” said Mr. Merrick. “And,” said Mr. Ingersoll, “the counsel does not ‘wish your regard.” “He can’t have it,” sald Mr. Merrick. “He would,” said Mr. Ingersoll very slowly, “consider it an insult.” Mr. Merrick, turning in his chair so as to face Mr. Ingersoll, sald with rent distinctness, “1 never give my regard to pifppies.” “* You dont,” exclaime .
