Mr. Davis (West Va.) sald_he hoped the Senate conferees would not perinit the fast mall service item to stand in the way of an agreement. Mr. Edmunds expressed the hope that the Sen- ate committee would insist upon its disagreement to the Pacific railroad legislation, not because he favored the raflroads, but Decausé he objected to the attempt to deal ‘with such matters on an ap- Propriation Dill. Mr. Brown hoped they would insist also upon retaling the appropriation for the fast mail ser- ice. v The conference report was to.

The motion was agreed to—yer The effect of this vote is to pass the Dill, retain ing the appropriation of $185,060 for special mail facilities, and without the clause limiting the com- pensation to be paid to subsidized railroads for mail transportation. ‘THE MISSISSIPPI CONTEST. The House then took up the Mississippi contested election case of Buchanan vs. Manning. The resolution which grants the contestant leave to withdraw v papers without prejudice was adopted.

The republicans members of tho Senate held a caucus this morning, and selected Mr. Edmunds ‘as their candidate for President protem. to succeed Mr. Davis. There was no opposition. THE TARIFF CONFERENCE REPORT. The conference committee on the tax and tariff Dill reached a complete agreement about half-past twelve this afternoon, and fortnwith sent their report to the Government Printing Office in order to be able to present it to both Houses of Congress in printed form before adjournment to-day. The Teport recommends the adoption of the Senate bili, with very few changes of general importance, exceptin the metal schedule, In which fhe com- mittee nd some increase of rates, espe- ot Shanon rates need der this head. 6 chal fy upon under - {ng are as follows; On steel, valued at 4 cents per Pound or less, 45 per cent ad valorem; on steel, valued above 4 cents and not above 7 cents pet pound, a specific duty of 2cents pe pose ;onsteel, valued at not aa kd en an ge 11 cents per pound, a specific duty of 2% cents per pound, ‘abd on steel, Valued above 11 cents per pound, a specific duty of 34 cents per pound; on steel rails a duty of $17 per ton; on Iron ore 75 cents per ton, (Instead of 60 cent), and on pig iron three-tenths of a cent per pound, (the rate pro- by the tariff commission). ‘An increase to 4c. per 1D. on ae bere above No.13, and not above No. 16, Dutch indard, is recommended; (the Senate fixed this duty at 234 cents per pound.) fhe only change In the woollen schedule ts vo Im- pose a duty of 45 cents per pound, and 40 per cent ad valorem upon women’s cloaks. In the glass and earthen ware schedule the committee egg @ specific duty of one cent per pound on glass bot- tles, and transfer printed and painted crockery to the china clause, thereby Increasing the duty from 50 per cent ad valorem to 60 per cent. The in- crease in metal dissatisfied the democrats, and some of them declared their purpose to fight the report. Those who oppose the increase made by the conference commitiee contend that the votes in the Senate on the metal schedule, rejecting the very figures now adopted by the conference, show thata ing ae will not accept the report. It is probable, however, that some Senators who voted against the higher metal schedule when the bill was before the Senate may now accept the figures rather than run the risk of defeating all tariff legislation by opposing the report. | This ts the hope of the friends of the report, and upon it the chances of legislation by this Congress depend. A FRIENDLY CONTEST. “I wish you would say in THE Sar,” said Mr. John G. Thompson, of Ohio, that the “canvass be- tween Mr. Leedam and myself tor the office of Sergeant-at-Arms 1s progressing in a way that no bad feeling will be engendered, no matter what the result. We have agreed to submit the matter of our candidacy to the Ohio delegation, and who- ever the delegation settles upon as the ‘candidate the Other will peacefully withdraw.” ALL THE APPROPRIATION BILLS THROUGH THE ‘HOUSE. The deficiency appropriation bill was passed by the House last night under a suspension of the Tules, T'ne House has now passed all of the regu- lar appropriation bills, APPOINTMENTS BY THE SPEAKER. Speaker Kelfer has appointed Messrs. Steele, Townsend and Sparks as members of the board of visitors to the military academy, and Messrs. Har- mer, Updegreff and Miller to the naval academy. PASSAGE OP THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL IN THE HOUSE. The House late last night, by a vote of 112 to 90, Passed the river and harbor bill. It was atonce sent to the Senate and ordered by that body to be printed, In the House Mr. Jones, of New Jersey, Offered an amendment appropriating $400,000 for filling up the Potomac flats. It was ruled out on & point of order. PASSAGE OF THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL WITHOUT THE OUTSIDE PRINTING AMENDMENT. ‘The Senate passed the sundry civil appropriation Dill last night. The paragraph directing the public printer to employ the highest character of skilled workmen at the prices now fixed by law, and authorizing him, In case he ts unable to obtain a sufficient supply on these terms, to expend a por- Hon of the appropriation for the temporary execu tion of the work outside, was ruled out on the point of order made by Mr. Voorhees, that the latter provision would change the existing 1aw, which requires that the whole of the work shall be done tn the government printing office. IMPROVEMENT OF THE CAPITOL GROUNDS. ‘The paragraph in the sundry civil bill providing for continuing the improvement of the Capitol grounds was amended in the Senate by adding a equirement that hereafter all changes and im- provements in the grounds, erraien Sod Sp roaches to the Capitol, shall be estimated for in detail; and the committee's ameniment reducing the Sp reOneae on from $65,000 to $50,000 anc. s‘riking out the provision for the salary of the landscape architect, was disagreed to. THE BREEZE IN THE HOUSE LAST NIGHT. During the debate on the river and harbor bill last night Mr. Van Voorhis, of New York, offered a motion to strike out the item for the improvement of the Sacramento river. He supplemented this motion with a speech, in which he said that if the chairman of the committee (Mr. Page) had not been from California no such item would have been put upon the dill “It is so outrageous,” he continued, “so damnable, that nobody but a gam- bier and cut-throat could think of tacking such a thing as that to such a bill as this.” Instantly the House was in commotion, and every eye was turned upon Mr. Page tosee how he would take the insult. le was by far the coolest man on the floor. Mr. Horr, of Michigan, who was the first to catch th> Speaker's eye, demanded that the words should be taken down, to which Mr, P; quietly replied, “Ob! [hope not.” But Mr. McLane insisted that the remark was an insult tothe House. The words Were read at the clerk’s desk and reported to the House. Mr. McLane then immediately offered a Tesolution of expulsion. Upon this along debate followed, and the motion would probably have almost unanimously prevailed had not Mr. Van Voorhis made an apology for his words, which he said were not meant ina personal sense. ‘The mo- tion to expel Mr, Van Voorhis was then withdrawn by Mr. McLane, which was immeatately followed by a resolution offered by Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, to censure Mr. Van Voorhis. ‘This was lost by yeas 66, nays 76—those voting against it doing’so on the ground that it was not customary to censure a Member for words withdrawn and apologized ror, a in this case.
