An animated debate arose in the House yesterday afternoon upon the question of the reference of the Teports Of the Mississtpp! river commission and the report upon the Hennepin canal, sent to the House by the President. The matter involves a large ap- propriation, and was claimed by the committee on rivers and harbors and the committee on levees and Eats of the Mississippi river. Mr. Bel- ford, of Col, made a cutting speech, in which he attacked the rules of the House, which made all the other committees mere slaves to the committees on Ways and means and appropriations. He favored a a we Of rules, Which would allow any committee ‘the right to report on a bill when It was ready. He sald that under the present rules two men controlled the House—the Speaker, and. the gentleman Irom Indiana, (Mr. Holman), who exercised the veto power by way of constant objection. By a vote of 143 to 124 the House refused to refer the message to ‘the committee on Mississipp! levees, and it was re- ferred Lo Une committee on rivers and harbors TEXAS PACIFIC LAND GRANT, Aspecial meeting of the House committee on Public lands was held this morning that the mem- bers might hear the arguments of the attorneys of the Southern Pacific railroad company on the si ing the Texas Pacific territorial aimed by the Southern Pacific company as assignees, etc. Mr. John T.

OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED NEW SENATE COM- MITTEE ON INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. The committee on commerce started a fight in the Senate yesterday against the proposed new rule creating a committee on internal improve- ments, to have charge of river and harbvor bills, with an amendment, submitted by Mr. Vest, to ‘strike out the paragraph of the rule for the creation of the new committee. Mr. Vest and Mr. Coke, of the commerce committee, spoke agalust the pro- posed rule, maintaining that there was no necessity for the new committee. They insisted that the commerce committee should be permitted to retain jurisdiction of river and harbor legislation. Mr. Frye, in reply, Sald that ever since he had known anything cf Congress the sole object of the House colmnittee on commerce had been to get through river ard harbor blils. ‘The Mississtppl river ap- propriations had been embodied in river and harbor illis staply Uo gain strength for the latter. me Prospective Tariff Legislation. MEMBERS WHO SAY THERE WILL BE UNITY OF ACTION AMONG THE DEMOCRATS. Prominent demoersts, both free traders and pro- tectlonists, say that there is no doubt that the committee ou ways and means will report a tariff Dill that will pass the House. ‘The fight on the question in the committee wil be prolonged, so That no report 1s likely to be made on the subject before the latter part of Apri. Friendsot both Mr. Randall and Mr. Carlisle deny that there ts any Ml- feeling between those gentlemen concerning this question. Mr, Forn sald to a Star reporter to-day that all th about Mr. Randalt’s voting with the republ ari question was nonsense, He Sild that he Uhought there was no doubt that the ySand means would report a bill upon which democrats of the House could and for which Mr. Randall would vote. ‘There would be polnts of difference, but none that could not be adjusted. Mr, MeMillin s: on, &¢., upon Which the tariff § now unjustly high, ‘would be reported to the House. The position of the committee, he was sure, would be conservative. —— oe ‘The District Appropriations Bill. _ ACTION IN THE SENATE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. Rule 26, fixing the standing committees to be maintained, was taken up in the Senate yesterday afternoon, and in naming the District eommittee the following clause was attached: “To which shall be referred all Dilis making appropriations for the expenses of the government of the District Orcoluabl” Mr. Hale suid he supposed. the vous of the Senate striking out that clause in the other Tule carried with it the clause in both. Mr. Ingalls sald {t did not, whereupon Mr. Hale gave notice that he would enter a motion to strike It out, and ‘Mr. Ingalls gave notice that he would resist 10 and demand the yeas and nays. Mr. Hale formally entered the motion to strike out, which was lost by a Ue vote—25 to 25—the chair deciding that this was a defeat for the affirmative side. ‘This ‘vote most unexpectedly put @ new phase upon the yuestion. (Nir, Hale's motion to strike out, in the body of the rule, that clause requiring District appropriations ogo tothe District committee having prevailed, It was supposed that the sense of the Senate was inst that reference; but upon Its coming up again, tn the ‘samo form in another rule,’ the Senate reversed its action of ‘a few PI tically in favor of to strike out the diction of a) prise, particularly to the members of the appropri- ations committee, who had as Won. ‘WHAT SENATOR INGALLS SAYS.
