SUNDRY CIVIL, AND RIVER AND HARBOR BILLS Senate Preceedings. MR. BAYARD BXPLAINS, Mr. Bayard, rising toa personal explanation in the Senate to-day, sald that he wished to make a statement as to the reasons which had impelled his colleague (Mr. Beck) and ‘imgelf to withdraw from the. conference committee on the tax bill After reading the resolution adopted by the Senate yesterday directing its conferees to withdraw, if they found that a full and free conference could not be obtained, he sald that his colleague and he had been unable, under the information brought before the committee by the Howse conferees, to come to any other conclusion than that it was no: full and fair conference. The House conferees Were bound by the action of the body which had selected them, and could nef confer fully and fairly with the Senate. It we from a profound sense of what was due to the Senate; it was from ‘an equal sense of what was dus to a co-ordinate branch of this government that he and his col- league had obeyed what they Welleved was-the clear intent and clear and positive instructions of the Senate. The privilege and constitutional power of the Senate to possess and exercise a co- ordinate share of the legislative powers of the government should never De, and could never be, Subjected to the individual judgment of five mem- bers of the House, or of the House itself, When the House had declared that the Senate had not the power to engraft tariff legislation on an internal Tevenue bill, the conferees could not change at jheir will the formal emphatic, clear expression of he House. ‘The Senate conferees could not act on such a tentative and capricious proceeding as this, and it was their duty to havesubmitted the matter to the Senate, ‘Mr. Sherman interrupted, and protested against Mr. Bayard arraigning the conference committee, in violation of the rules of the Senate. Mr. Bayard replied that he was not talking of What was the duty of the committee.- He was Speaking of what was the right and the duty of the minority. His associate and he had felt their obvious-duty under the resolution adopted by the Senate yesterday to refer the matter back | to the Senate. Under the action of the House there was an unfair and fettered conference. It ‘Was fair and unfettered on the part of the Senate, and it was for the Senate to determine whether It Was equally fair on the part of the House. He had Deen earnest in his endeavors to obtain some re- duction of taxation, but, act under the direc- Ulon of the Senate, it would have been a breach of duty, on his part, had he remained to consider with the House committee the question whether the Senate had or had not power to engraff tariff legislation on the internal revenue bill. ir. Morrill expressed profound t that Messrs. Beck and Bayard should have felt it their duty to raise this technical objection. ‘The debate was continued at some length. MR. BAYARD AND MR. BECK EXCUSED. Mr. Bayard and Mr. Beck having asked to be ex- cused from further service on the Conference com- mittee on the tariff, Mr. Garland offered a resolu- tion instructing all the Senate conterees to with- draw from the conference, Mr. Allison objected to the present consideration of the resolution, and 1t went over until to-mor- Tow. Mr. Bayard and Mr. Beck were excused by a Vote of 49 ayes to 6 noes. OTHER SENATORS DECLINE TO SERVE. Mr. Morrill asked consent that the chair should have authority to fill the vacancies on the com- mittee, which was agreed to. The President then appointed. Messrs. Voorhees: and McPherson. Mr. McPherson asked to be excused, because he was not Jn accord with most of his dernocratic col- leagues on the tariff question, and also because of the tostruction piven by the Sanate yesterday to its conferees, He was excused, and the President peepee Mr, Harris, r. Harris declared that he was tn full accord with Messrs. Bayard and Beck on this subject, and asked to be excused. His request was granted. Mr. Voorhees then rose and declined to serve, giving no reasons. He was ext The President said he had no means of ascer- taining who would consent to serve unless by going around and interview‘ng every Senator, but sight find some one during the day. [Laugh- r. THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL ‘The Senate then proceeded to consider the sun- ary civil appropriation bili,,and several unim- Portant clauses were acted om NEW CONFEREES ON THE FARIFF BILL. The President appointed Messrs. Morgan and Gorman to take the places of Messrs. Bayard and Beck on the conference committee on the tariff Dill THE FORTIFICATIONS BILL PASSED. Mr. Dawes presented the conference report on the fortifications appropriation bill; which was agreed to. SIX MORE SENATORS DECLINE TO SERVE ON THE TARIFF CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. Mr. Morgan, coming into the chamber, sald he understood that during his absence he had been appointed on the committee of conference on the tariff bill, but as 1t would embarrass him to serve upon that committee after the remarks which he had felt called upon to make heretofore in relation to the action of the House he must ask to be ex- cuses ‘His request was granted. Mr. Gorman also declined to serve, and was ex- cused. The President appointed Messrs. Davis (W. Va.) and JonasyWho both declined to serve, and were excust He then appointed Messrs. Butler and Maxey, who also deciined. ‘MESSRS. INGALLS AND MAHONE APPOINTED. Then assuming that no democratic senator would gerve the chair appointed Messrs. Ingalls and Mahone. i ‘MR. INGALLS DECLINES; ALSO MR. MILLER. Mr. Ingalls was absent when his appointment was announced. Heentered in a few moments and asked to be excused, saying his engagements were such that he could not perform the duty. Mr. Morrill requested him to serve, but Mr. Tepiled that he could not, and was excused. ie Chair then appointed Mr. Miller, of Call- fornia, 2 Mr. Miller arose, apparently to dec! but the republican Senators gathered round im and be- an to persuade him to accept. He retired to the ack of the chamber, and finally, just when it was thought he would accept, he returned to his seat and declined, #2 ‘As Mr. Mahone said nothing, tt was presumed he would accept. MR. M’DILL APPOINTED. The Chair then appointed Mr. McDill, and it ‘Was understood he would accept. louse of Representatives. THE FORTIFICATIONS BILL PASSED. Mr. Forney presented the conference report on the fortification appropriation bill, and it was agreed to. (The bill appropriates $970,000, being $295,000 More than when it passed the House.) Mr. Page moved to suspend the rules and adopt ‘an order limiting debate on the Hver and harbor Dill (except in to ‘Items for the impror Bun oe Aacaome ets tapers Lost_yeas n thirds in the afirmative The House then, at whole (Mr. Can- 11:55, went into committee of the non in the chair) on the state of the Union; but Mr, Hiscock objected to river and harbor and the commniteoe ine a was taken owing to the absence of the democratic members, and an adjournment was had to await the action of the Senate touching the declinations of Messrs. Bayard and Beck to serve upon the committee. At 120’clock the vacancies not having been filled, the republican members of the com- mnittee again met im the room of the Senate com- mittee on finance. One of the republican iem- bers said in reply toa — that they would on with the bili regardless of the vacancies on the committee, and would submit their conclusions to the two houses. LATER—THE COMMITTEE ADJOURNS. The conference committee on the tarff Dill again adjourned without action. Representative Carlisle, one of the democratic conferees, on the ates of the House, raised the point of order that he committee could not proceed to the considera~ ton of the business with which they were charged unless each body was fully represented; that in the absence of the two members on the part of the Senate the committee would not be a full con- ference, After some discussion Mr. Morrill, chair- man of the conference committee, sustained the peasy Of order, and the committee. at 12:50. ad- lourned subject to call of the chairman. Those Present were Senators Morrill, Sherman and Aldrich, and Representatives Kelly, McKinley, Haskell, Carlisle and Speer. The District in Congress. THE APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘The conferees on the District appropriation Dill will meet some time this afternoon. There are no questions of difference on any material points to settle, and hence an agreement will be soon Teached. One of the conferees told a Stan re- Porter that it would not require ten minutes to agree upon a report. FINAL MEETING OF THE HOUSE COMMITTER. The Hous? committee on the District of Colum- Dia field its final meeting of the session to-day. The only business transacted was to report a bill authorizing Stephen Casey to go before the Court of Claims with a brief for damazes alleged to have been susfained to his property by reason of im- provements. A resolution offered by Mr. Urner Was unanimously adopted thanking Chairman Neal for his courtesy and diligence as a presid- ing officer. The resolution was ordered to be spread upon the recorts of the committee, Capitol Notes. Representative Hewitt, of New York, who, for some weeks, has. been Sick at bis home, has re- turned, very much improved. Senator Edmunis is suffering with weak eyes. To-day all the gas jets in the vestibules around the Senate chamber and in some of the corridors were extinguished because the reflection of the light pained the Senator’s eyes, Last night ’s session of the House was devoted to the river and harbor bill, but no progress was made, THE DEADLOCK ON THE TARIFF BILL. ‘The impression 1s now decided that the tariff bill will fall, and that all that can be passed will ‘be an internal revenue bill, with, possibly, steel rails and sugar omitted. The House having raised the constitutional question of the right of the Senate to originate a tariff bill, it cannot now gracefully recede. Unless it does the deadlock in the conference committee is bound to continue, because no democrat in the Sen- ate will serve on the conference. It 1s conceded, too, that if a Dill should be agreed upon, owing to the near end of the session that itis’in the wer of a small minority to defeat any bill. There isa report that Mr. Carlisle intends to withdraw from the committee, THE SUNDRY CIVIL APPROPRIATION BILL, as amended by the Senate committee on appro- priattons, was reported to the Senate last evening. ‘The bill as 1t passed the House appropriated $23,119,232 This has beon increased by the Senate committee to $24,437,285. Among the changes made by the Senate committee 1s the following: ‘The provision relating to the Yellowstone Park was stricken out and a new. paragraph was insert- ed authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to Jease not exceeding eighty acres within the park, but not to include the geysers or other objects of interest, all previous contracts or leases to be de- clared invalid. The committee also strike out the section repealing the pre-emption laws. THE NEW PENSION BILL. ‘The Senate last evening pas$ed a bill providing $24 a month to all persons hereafter granted a Pension, who. while tn the military or naval ser- vice of the United States, and in the line of duty, shall have lost one hand or one foot, or been to- tally _or permanently disabled in the same, or otherwise so disabled as to render their incapacity to perform manual labor equivalent to the loss of @ hand of a foot; and $30 per month to those who have lost either an arm at or above the elbow, or @ leg at or above the knee, or shall have been otherwise so disabled as to be incapacitated for performing any manual labor, but not 80 much as to require regular personal aid and attendance...

NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS AND THE TARIFF QUES- TIoN.—The Nebraska republican association held reunion at St. George’s hall ‘tuesday evening, which was attended by Gen. Manderson, the Sen- ator-elect, Messrs. Laird and Weaver, Representa- tives-elect, and other prominent republicans of that state. Speeches were made and the tariff juestion discussed. Gen.

THE AMOUNTS TO “T. J. 3B.” When the star route trial was resumed this morning Mr. Merrick continued the redirect ex- amination of Rerdell. Mr. Merrick desired to ask the witness how many bank accounts Dorsey kept, Dutobjection was made, and sustained, that the matter was opening a new subject. The witness Was then asked If when Dorsey drew the money from Middletoa’s bank he drew on account of a deposit he had there, or had checks ou other banks discounted. Objection was made to this, and, after some argument, Mr. Merrick was allowed to ask if Dorsey kept eneck books on different banks. The witness sald he did, and had accounts with the Citizens’ National bank of thts city, with Mid- dleton & Co. of this city, with one bank of New York, and with a bank th Trinfdad, Colorado. The witness sald that he had referred in Lis ¢ examination to $10,000 to be given him at the end of the contract term, which Was contingent upon the manner he managed the service and the amount of profits. Mr. Merrick finished his redirect examination a few minutes before 12 o'clock. Mr. Wilson then began 2 re-cross-examination. Mr. Wilson questioned the witness as to WHAT OCCURRED AT MR. MERKICK’S OFFICE the night he announced his tntention of pleading guilty. The witness sald that no one but Mr. Merrick had read to him from law books. His couns!, Mr. Wilshire, had toid him about walsky cases and the decisions there, Judge Wylie sald this matter amounted to Bothing. “That depends,” said Mr. Wilson, “on what there is in the whisky cases.” ro tere 18 @ great deal in whisky,” sald Mr, Mer- c ere 18 2 great deal in the whisky cases,” sald Mr. Wilson, emphasizing the last word. Mr, Ingersoll argued that there was a good dcal in At, as the decision in the whisky cases, as he Understood It, held that when the goverhment accepted a man as a witness, they could not there- after punish him. IMMUNITY OF STATE'S WITNESSES. “There was nothing of that kind in that de cision,” sald Judge Wylie, “I don’t believe such a decision was ever made anywhere.” Mr. Ingersoll insisted. that many decisions held that under the circumstances named there was an implied obligation on the part of the government. “Mr. Wilson said It was held that tae witness in such case had an equitable right to immunity.” “Let him, then,” said Judge Wyle, “bring his equitable suit, then, to get it.” Tt 15 all bosh Ir. Ingersoll asked the witness if he had with about challenging Jurors, agreed to any signals to be made between hilmself aud a person on the side of the government. “I did not,” sald the witness, “Did not you tell A. E. Boone,” asked Mr. Inger- soll, “that you and Mr. Blackmar had AGRERD UPON SIGNars 2” “I told him,” sala the witness, “that we had agreed that if I wanted to see him at his room that I would look at the clock—eatch his eye and look at the clock. Now, I don’t believe I told Mr. Boone that, but that was the fact.” Tie Witness said Dorsey was In the habit of having drafts on New York cashed at Middie- ton's, RERD! 'S EXAMINATION CLOSED. After a brief examination by Mr. Henkle, the Witness was, at 12:15 p. m., excused from the Stand, just two Weeks from the time he took the stand. BOSLER, PORSEY'S FORMER PARTNER, A WITNESS. James W. Bosler, of Carlisle, Pa., 8, W. Dorsey's former partner in the mail business, was next called to the stand and examined by Mr. Bliss, He sald be had been subpoened to produce certain letters, He sald he had made a thorough search for aletier from 8. w. Dorsey to_ himself, dated May 13th, 1879, and one from Rerdeil to witness, dated May 22d, 1880, nnd had been unable to find them. He did not believe he had ever received suc’ letters, else he wou!d have them, as he kept all letters relating to business, Upon cross-exainination he said he had been told. in a general way the contents of both the letters nied. The fact that he could not find them was leuce to his mind that he had never received them. It he had received a letter of the kind de- scribed he believed he would remember It, He was Sutisfied that he had never received such a letter. TELEGRAMS FROM 8. W. DORSEY DESTROYED. Charles H. Irving, assistant superintendent of the Western Union Telecraph Company at New York, was called tothe stand and examined by Mr, Blisa He said that no search had been made for telegrams sent by 8. W. Dorsey from New York to Rerdell in June, 1881, as the dispatches are de- stroyed every six months He testified to the methods of destruction. the old dispatches being sent by the different offices to the supply depart- ment for destruction. John Spelman, of the supply department, W. U. telegraph company, in New York, testified to the dispatches being taken from the suppiy de- partment to a mill for destruction. Mr. Ingersoll asked if ne knew telezrams from Dorsey to Rerdell were destroyed, or whether such telegrams ever came to the supply department, The witness satd he did not. RERDELL RE-CALLED, = ‘ML. C.
