The conservatives intend to raise a question of confidence in the ministry as soon as Parllament reassembles, ‘The London papers this morning can find room for nothing except the news of the fall of Khar- toum, and columns upon columns of the history of the seige and effort to relieve the place. Their comments: of the disaster at Khertoum are dole- ful, but patriotic.

DISCUSSION IN THE SENATE, RIVER AND HARBOR BILL IN THE HOUSE. ‘The Senate. ‘The clerk laid before the Senate the credentials of re-election of Senator Ingalls, of Kansas. Also, letter from the Postmaster General explatning ‘that an erasure in a document sent to the Senate relating to the history of the railway mail service had been made on final revision, and before signa- ture of the report by the general superintendent of that service. ane reason W that the matter erased contained an inference which it was believed best to permit readers to make for themselves, all the facts upon which it was based being fully set forth in the document. ‘The Postmaster General adds that a falr copy of the document was not made because of the presgure of time and the ex- pense that would be involved. OUR SEA COASD DEFENSES, A resolution was offered by Mr. Sewell calling on the Secretary of War to report to the Senate whether any plans or preparations had been ma- tured by the engineer corps of the army, or by the War department, for defending the harbors on our sea coast and lakes by torpedoes or otherwise in case of sudden war with any foreign power; and if torpedo stations have been established or are con- templated for such defense, then whether any armament has been provided or plan devised for the protection of such torpedo stations. ‘Mr. Morgan suggested the reference of the reso- lution to the committee on military affairs, as 1¢ might be that good reasons existed why such in- Tormation should not be made public, ‘The resolution was go referred. GENERAL LEGISLATION ON APPROPRIATION BILLS. ‘Mr. Ingalls, according to notice given yesterday, moved an amendment to the Senate rule that pro- hibits general legislation on appropriation bills— amendment being to permit such legislation as May be germane or relevant to the subject matter of the bill. Mr. Harris hoped the matter would be referred to the committee on rules. Mr. Hale favored Mr. Ingalls’ motion. Some ap- Propriation bills now awaiting action of the Sen- ate he said had provisions correcting some defective legislation of last year. If the Senate should in- sist on its rule and the House insist on its own po- sition, the Dill would be lost. The Senate would then be met with the question whether it would utterly defy the House and lose important matters of legislation. Mr. Hale did not think the Senate could stand on that ground, Mr. Beck ‘also ted Mr. Ingalls’ motion. Somé of the legislative provisions contained in Pending appropriation bills Mr. Beck sald were Such that the Senate would not consent to strike them ont, and if tt did strike them out the House, in Mr. Beck’s opinioh, would never yield. Mr. Bayard exp) himself strongiy opposed to legislation on appropriation bills. His hope was that a joint rule of both houses might be secured Which Would keep legisiation out of such Dis, Mr. Frye sald eflort to that end had already been made without result ‘The fact was that the House, under its rules, could not get ni leg- Jslation passed unless by placing ft on such bills. Mr. Bayard thought this a melancholy condition. for a legislative body to put itself in—that of hay- ing a body of rules which seemed destructive of legislation, “But he did not. think the Senate rule, which was founded in sound reason, ahould bé abrogated. ‘Mr. Ingalls sald the Senate was confronted with agrave situation. ‘The Senate had gone into a cul de sac so far as legislation was concerned, and there was nothing for ittodo but to turn afound and.come out. ‘There was on the pending pension Dill legislation that he (Mr.ingalls) could not afford to oppose, nor could the Senate afford to opposeit. It was most material and important legislation. Mr. Hale said the legislation referred to affected the interests of mundreds of thousands of pen- loners. ‘ Mr. Ingalls continued that he thought the Sen- ate might better accept the situation,so that desimm able amendmentscouid be pro) tosuch mea- sures, for, even with the rigid rule, now in force, the practical result had always been that thé House had had its way. Mr. Harrison thought the rule ought tobe so amended as £0 have appropropriation bills referred to the Senate committees having n charge the sub- Ject matter to which they relate. At any rate, 1t Was absurd that one house should be tree to act and the otter tied up. > Mr. Sherman would be willing, under the con- tingencles of this particular session, to suspend the present rule of the Senate; but if the House perststed in its present course Mr. Sherman would favor @ new rule to refer the appropriation bills to the committees having charge of the special sub- Jects to which the Dil reiated. But, ruleor no Tule, Mr. Sherman sald there were legidlative pro- visions tn appropriation bills soon to be acted on that he would not opposo because it was In amend ment of very defective legislation of last year. REFRERED TO COMMITTRE ON RULES. After some further debate the Ingalls motion to amend the rules of the Senate so that amend- ments germane and relevant to the subject. matter ropriation bills may be made thereto was re- to the committee on rules. House of Representatives. When the House met at ten o’clock this morning, in continuation of yesterday’s session, there were not more than half a dozen members present, and a further revess of ten minutes was taken. After the recess the House went into committes of the whole (Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, in the chatr) on the river and harbor bill ‘The item appropriating “g100,000'for improving a national harbor of the first class at Sandy Bay, Mass,” was stricken out by_a vote of 74 1042. ‘Several amendments making additional appro- priations were rejected. Mr. McComas (Md,) offered_an amendment pro- viding that no ‘mohey appropriated by this act shall be expended except for such works a8 the Secretary of War, under the direction of the Presi- dent, shall determine, and in n0 case shall the ex- nditure for any one purpose exceed the sums de- ignated by thls act for that pu ir.

The Special Attention Shown Senator Lamar by the President-elect—™ Bayard, Mr. Garland, Mr. Barnum and Mr. Manning—The New York Conferences, ‘The special attention shown by Mr. Cleveland in ‘NeW York yesterday to Senator Lamar, has started good deal of speculation. ‘Mr. Lamar was quietly informed that the President-elect wanted to see him, and he lost no time in going over to New York. Whether the purpose of this invita- tion to the Mississippi Senator was to invite him into the cabinet, 18 not yet known. Other Con- gressmen from Mississippl, who went over to urge the appointment of Representative Money as Postmaster General, were heard briefly, while Mr. Lamar was detained in close conference with Mr. Cleveland for a long time, ‘Senator Lamar has said that he would not accept a cabinet position for several teasons, one Leng ‘that another cltizen of hig state, Mr. Money, was in the field. It ts no secret that Mr. Lamaris’ among the numerous democratic Senators who consider Mr. Garland the best Qualified man in the party for Attorney General. It can be stated that up to the present Mr. Cleve- land has not made direct offer of a cabinet posi- Uon to but one gentleman—Senator Bayard. He ‘Was the first distinguished democrat summoned by Mr. Cleveland, and there was no equivocation in the proffer of the State department to Senator Bay- ard. Senator Garland was the next invited, and the general tenor of what was said 15 believed to have indicated his appointment. ‘A prominent democrat, who 1s undoubtedly as well informed as to Mr. Cleveland's purposes and intentions as anybody, with the exception of the President-elect and his confidential friend and sec- Tetary, Col. Lamont, told a Srax reporter that Mr. Cleveland 1s in no’hurry to make up his cabinet. This gentleman did not believe that the confer- ences In New York this week would settle every. thing about tho cabinet. He sald it was not im. probable that Mr. Cleveland would delay final lecision gs to all his cabinet until after his arrival 1o Washington, appears upon pretty good, authority that ‘Chairman Barnum, of the national democratic com- mittee, wants a cabinet position. Another state- ment, Which comes in a shape that entities 1t to Some’ respect, Is that Hon, Dantel Mannie, editor of the Albany Argus, will probably be Secretary of the Treasury. “He 1s acceptebie to Mr. Tilden and all bis friends, as well as to democrats not allied with the Tildén wing, and also to the independents ‘who supported Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Money for Postmaster General. WHAT ONE OF THE MISSISSIPPI DELEGATES WHO PRE- SENTRD HIS NAME 10 THE PRESIDENT-ELECT SATS. Mr. Van Eaton, who, with Senator George, visited Mr, Cleveland at New York yesterday as a commit tee designated by the Mississipp! delegation to Present Mr. Money’s name to the President-elect for the Postmaster Generaiship, has returned, and ‘was in his seat in the House to-day. He said to a Stak reporter, who saw him this morning, that he had avery pleasant intertiew with Mr. Cleveland, in whom he found a very courteous gentiem: warm and genial in his manners, ana af excellent Ustener. He says he is convince that he will sur- Tound himself “with able advisers, and having se lected his cabinet, he willbe influenced by their advice. He listens attentively to everything that issald by the statesmen, visiting him, aud ‘seems desirous of collecting all the information he can and of getting the full benettt of the adviceot is lends. tWith relation to his cabinet he said to Mr. Van Eaton, laughingly, that sometimes he went to bed at might thinking he had his cabinet all made up, Dut got up in the morning to find himself as far a3 ever from adecision. Beyond this he said nothing ‘with relation to his cabinet, except in answer to the visitors presentation of the name of Mr. Money, Saying tn this connection that he had had Mr’ Money brought to his attention In many ways, by letters and by persons who had visited him. ‘The pollcy of the new administration, Mr. VanEat- on say8,was not referred towasthe objector the visit ago present the name of Mr. Mouey on the part of the state,and not to volunteer advice.
