Alter routine morning business in the Senate Mr, Whitthorne addressed the body in favor of Mr. Frye’s bill “to promote the political pro- gress and commercial prosperity of the Ameri- can nations.” THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL, On the conclusion of Mr. Whitthorne’s speech the Northern Pacific bill was taken up, but in- formally laid aside for the purpose of consider- ing the army appropriation bill. The later Was accordingly taken upand its consideration proceeded with. The Senate passed the bill precisely as re- ported frou thd Sewate commulttes, ‘ADJOURNED, At1:55 p.m. the Senate adjourned, leaving the Northern Pacific bill the unfinished business for Monday next, Honse of Representatives. Mr. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, from the com- mittee on the library, reported @ bill for the erection of monuments to Anthony Wayne and William Penn. Committee of the whole. THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL. After the reception of various committee re- Ports, the House went intocommittee of the whole (Mr. Blount,in the chair,)on the legis- lative appropriation bill. THE CIVIL SERVICE CLAUSE having been read, the chair stated that tho pending question was the point of order raised by Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, against the provi- sion looking to a change of the rules of the commission. Mr, Holman (Ind.) briefly antagonized the point, holding that the provision was merely a limitation on the expenditure of public money. Mr. Morrison, in support of his point, said that under the law the duty of adopting’ regu- lations devolved on the commission and the President. The purpose of the proposed legisla- tion was to impose certain conditions which the law did not impose, and, therefore, was a change of law, in contravention of the rules of the house. Mr, Reagan (Tex.) laid down the principle that the House might refuse to appropriate at all for the clvil service commission without a violation of the rule, and argued that such being the case it was clearly in order to place & Umitation on the expenditure of the appropria- on. The commission assumed an autocracy which this bill sought and ought to take away from it, MR, REED’S SARCASTIC REMARKS. Mr. Reed, of Maine, premised bis argument With a sarcastic apology for interfering in this, affair among brethren, who, however they might differ as to ways and means, were united. with kearts in the cause of real economy and reform. He knew they were so united because they suid so, [Langhter.] It pained him to see that the gentlemen trom Indiana and Texas (Mr, Holman and Mr. Reagan) nad to arrive at their age in order to ascertain the fact that the House ought not to be limited in its power. Both these gentlemen had been for many years united in retusing to the House the power to increase expenditures because they had been ‘opposed to any increase that had been consti- tutional and ‘suitable, but the moment the thorn Went across their groin it became an un- coustitutional and unsuitable limitation. He inguired of Mr. Holman why he had nét em- ployed the leisure which the House had forced on him in taking five great bills away from the appropriation commzitice, in oi rae reg- w lating salaries and expenditures, mtle- man’s mind had been uctive on otheP sebjects, such as the matter he had brought in yesterday =to abolish the provision for paying the Vice- President. ‘Mr. Morrison stated that he had suggested to Mr. ‘Holman the propriety of making the change which had been made. Mr. Reed said he admired the way the dem- ccratic party split up. He was always glad to see them split, for one wing was sure to be right, then, He spoke caustically upon the variety of views of civil service retorm held in the demo- cratic purty, He then turned again to Mr. Rea- gan with some cuiting reference to bis frequent Calling up of the Constitution, After sitting quietly under the deluge of cut- ting irony for afew minutes the Texan could Stulid it no longer. He jumped to lus ieet und cried: “I haven't mentioned the Constitution to-day!” se ROARS OF LAUGHTER. The House, which had been in an uproar all along, fairly got beside itself ut this, Members fairly kicked their heels in the air and clapped their hands, while tue gallery roared. SHARP PASSAGE BETWEEN MR, HAMMOND AXD ‘MR. RANDALL. Later Mr. Hammond got the floor in support of the point of order, quoting the constitution and the law pointing to the question at issue. ‘Mr. Randall asked if he could find anything in the constituuon that took trom a citizen of the United States the right to vote or to hold place of trust or profit after he reached the age of forty-five, Mr, Hammond replied testily that he would proceed when the gentleman from Pennsylva- Dia took his seat. “I will take my seat when I see fit,,’ retorted Mr, Randall, angrily. Mr, Hammoud then disclaimed any inten- tion to be discourteous. STRICKEN FROM THE BILL, The chairman of the committee of the whole has sustained the point of order made against the provision attached to the civil service clause of the legislative appropriation bill, re- uiring te commission to amend its regula- Mons, and the provision {s, thereiore, stricken from’the meusure, The District in Congress.

The committee of:five representing the Brick- layers’ union to-day prepared the following official statement of the difterences existing between their union and the Master Masons’ association: The latter part of January, 1886, our organt- zation adopted a resolution requiring our men to work eight hours and demand $4 per day for the same on and after May 3. Every employ- ing bricklayer was immediately notified of the action taken, a number of whom guaranteed they would accept the conditions in good faith, ‘and they have honorably done so. About the Astof May the union received a communica- tion from employers representing the Master Masons’ association that they would not accept the terms offered, but they agreed to grant 9 hours per day, 8 hours on Saturday, the wages to be 4.50 per day. Our Union could not honorably acquiesce in their proposition, because it would be an_injus- tice to the employers who granted the 8 hour day, as it required them to pay each man 50 cents @ week more than our demand. The con- troversy extended for some time without any attempt to bridge over the difficulty, the mas- ter masons endeavoring by every means to fill our places by labor from other places, not only to our disadvantage, but to the disadvantage of the public generally; and tnough the men brought here fave reidrned to their peaceful homes, no one can dare say we used any violent or unigwsul means to send them back. After a struggle of tour weeks, the situation remaining the same, the only apparent difficulty in the way of a settlement being the difference of an hour, and the 50 cents extra on each man in the cost of construction according to the Master masons’ proposition, our union came to the conclusion that somettiing should be done to set the wheels of industry in motion, and at @ meeting held on the 4th instant, in ac- cord.nce with a resolution adopted, a committee was appointed, vested with ‘full power and authority ‘to arbitrate the difficulty. ‘The committee immediately sent the following communication tothe Master Masons’ association: ‘Deeming it for the best interests of the District, we, a committee of five, duly authorized, vested’ with full power and authority, were empowered to meet for the urpose of conciliating the difference existing Between the master. masons and our body," we assured them that we had no personal feeling against any individual member of their body, now or in ‘the future. We received au answer that the communication was received, and they romised to comply with our request. On the th instant the committee convened, coin- of David T. Cissel, Geo. Turton, Frank Banner, and Wim. if Carson, on the part of the master’ masons, ‘and the undersigned on the part of the bricklayers. After a 1ull statement of the difficulty, our committee promised that no arbitrary measure would be adopted ainst any individual member of the Master, Masons’ association; that we would work with any bricklayer they would employ, provided he was a member of our uzion and that we would admit any man working at the trade in the clty who was not a member of the union. The master masons insisted that they should employ men regardless of the union; that of course could not be agreed to,tor it would virtually disband the organization—an organization which in the past year disbursed ‘over $5,000 for beneficiary purposes. We pro- Posed t0 divide the year on the hour question and receive 50 cents per hour, half the year, 9 hours, 8 hours on Saturday and the remainder Shours. This was rojected, not because they believed it unjust, but because their conscience would not permit. It will be readily seen that We endeavored to arbitrate the difficulty. guaranteed them the good will and protection of our unlon; We offered to divide the difficulty of hours, and admit every man working at the trade in this city who was not a member of our uuion to our friendship and protection, but on thelr part they were not willing to agree to anything buythe practical disbandment ot our orguuization, for the reason that 1t could not exist without our local card. Now we appeal Wo the public whether we are arbitrary or radi- cal in our demands.” This statement is signed by Frank P. Carr, Denis T. Kerry, J.T. Lynch, Jona Burch and George Bossw THE POSITION OF THE JOURNEYMEN CARPEN- TEES, A méimber of the Journeymen Carpenters’ union sald toa STaR reporter to-day that the carpenters were willing to compromise on nine hours, provided they could retain their cards, ‘The reason, he said, they had voted against the proposition of the eight hour bosses last Saturday was that they had no guarantee that the master builders would abide by the proposi- tion, “The Journeymen carpenters,” he said, “have been placed in # talse position be- fore the public by various _ misstate- ments, By the statement ia THE STAR of the 7th inst. that ‘the proposition to compromise by returning to work at nine hours and retaining their cards was rejected by them,’ the public was led to believe that the bosses are willing to recognize our cards, when the opposite is the true state of the case. The average wages of the Journeyman carpenter does not exceed $1.50 per day the year through. Taking in consideration the cost of tools and the loss and wear of the same ft will be, I think, easily seen that the condition of the journey- mun carpenter is not an enviable one. The public is told that we are trying to control the Business or the master butlders “which isuotthe case. We want the recoguition of our cards by thelr employing none but union men. The bosses, of course, have the right to discharge whom they please. The master builders state that they Lave all the carpenters that they need, It is true, as one of them stated in lust evening’s STAR, that there is nota village or town in the country where you can not find fence and pig pen carpenters, No doubt they have enough of that kind, ‘but let them wait until they are to finish the inside of houses. I think they will find they will have more than enough of the ‘kind.’ If the bosses are disposed to act with any- thing like Justice to the journeymen, they and the public can rest asstired that the journey- men Will make any concessions not inconsis- tent with their honor and liberty. We could not in justice to ourselves and the duties we owe to our families accede to the terms proposed, to us, for by 80 doing we would be yielding the liberty and rights to which, as citizens of a free country, we are entitled to’,’ AT THE MEETING of the Master Builders’ association this evening the questions at issue between the master masons and the journeymen will form the principal subject of discussion.

The compact between the tories and the liberal- unionists seems destined to be faithtully kept, incredible as this may appear to any one who knows the rancor among English parties, Nearly all the liberal seats in London, except those of two members who voted against the home rule bill, will be tought by conservatives. These two will receive cou servative aid. The liberals express much con- fidence that this amicable condition of things will not last, GLADSTONE’S MANIFESTO will probably appear next week. Lord Hartington’s will follow as a kind of reply. Lord Salisbury’s will be given ina speech at Leeds. It took the form of aspeech at Newport in the last election campaign. Mr. Chamber- Jain’s manifesto is received with great applause by all the papers that have opposed Gladstone during the struggle. The Standard 1s the only one which tempers its praise, saying it is writ- ten with admirabie force and truth, but in TERMS OF STUDIED MALIGNITY. Gladstone will address a massmeeting in Scotland at St, Andrew's hall, Glasgow, June 28. Great efforts are making to induce him to speak at Leeds and Manchester on the way. Lora Hartington was consulted yesterday about sending a unionist-liberal to oppose Gladstone in Midlothian.
