Progress of the Work in June. UNLESS FUNDS ARE FORTHCOMING TO CON- TINUE THE WORK THE TUNNEL WILL FILL UP WITH WATER, Major Lydecker, in his report to the chief of engineers of the operations for increasing the water supply during the month of June, states that the contractors were engaged until the 15th of the month in constructing the rip rap and coffer dams across the gap between Conn’s Island and Island Rock, the terminus of the Great Falls dam, across the deep water of the Virginia channel. The masonry for closing the gap was placed between the 15th and 23d of June. The work of placing coping on the old dam was also in progress during the greater part of the month. A small amount of coping is to be placed and secured with bolts and cramps before the work under contract 1s com- pleted, and this, it is thought, will be easily completed during July. On. the tunnel, ope- rations were limited to pumping, in order to keep the tunnel clear’ of Water, and this has been the case since the 1st of February. Funds for this purpose even are now exhausted, and unless the contractors vol- untarily and at) their own risk continue pump- ing operations during July the tunnel must be allowed to fill up. Operations on the new ro- servoir were continued, but the rate of progress Was not satisfactory nor anything such as is re- quired by the contract. ‘The east side conduit was extended 352 fect ‘during the month, leav- ing only six fect to complete it; the west con duit was advanced 207 fectand the circular outlet of the two conduits was completed. ‘The westside slope of the reservoir was paved for about 250 feet. Work during July will be sim- ilar to that of June. ‘| ———+e¢—____ Hotter Weather Coming.

Well, it wasn't. It was only a drop of four degrees, but a refresh: ing breeze made the change seem greater than it was. It was not quite as warm here yester- day afternoon as it was the day before, but it was very hotin New England and New York 4nd up in the northwest. ‘The Signal office thormometer registered 86 at eleven o'clock yesterday, while to-day at that hour it stood at 79.8, but the prospects are that It will continue to rise,althoug’ there is a probubillts of a thun- der storm this evening, which will afford tem- porary relief, ——_—_+e+____ Society.

AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. PENSION VETOES IN THE HOUSE. Criticism of the President. BILLS ON THE SENATE CALENDAR. ‘The Senate. ‘ME, RIDDLEBERGER’S RESOLUTION RULED OUT, After the presentation of the usual variety of Petitions, the Senate took up Mr. Riddleber- ger’s resolution offered yesterday to have the executive session of today held with open doors. ‘Mr. Harris made the point of order that the resolution proposed a change of the rules, and hat proper notice of it had not been given. Mr. Riddleberger conceded that the point of order might apply, but he had merely wanted tocall attention to the matter and he was go- ing todo soon every occason that presented Belt. The chair sustained the point of order, and the resolution was laid on the table. Mr, Sewell, from the committee on pension Pigsented the report in the case of the vot ili granting a pension to Margaret D. Mar- chand, widow of Commodore Marchand. The committee repeats its former report in the case and recommends passage of the bill over the Presidenv’s objections. Referred. AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATIONS, The Senate, atter passing a private bill for the relief of Capt. Ernest H. Wardwell, proceeded to the calendar, and took up the bill to estab- lish agricultural experiment stations in con- nection with agricultural colleges. Mr, Harrison offered an amendment oxtend- ng the provisions of the bill to the territories, provided that the average attendance of pupils at a college for the precoding year was not less than tity. ‘The amendment was agreed to, ‘Mr. Hawley called attention to the fact that this ‘bill would require tho expenditure of $690,000 for all time. He mentioned this not 4g an objection, but to emphasize the necessity of giving the bill a little consideration. He briefly sketched the history of the Agricultural college's law, and stated that in many cases the money recelved from the grant of land had been not wisely managed—not to say grossly and improperly squandered. ‘Thechair called attention to the fact that the Senate was acting under the five-minute rule, and, on the representation by Mr. Hawley that it was impossible to consider such an important bill under that rule, the bill was laid over as being objected to. ‘The bill to incorporate the Atlantic and Pacltic Ship Railway company (the Eads bill) and Mr. Hoar’s bill concerning iederal elections were severally objected to and went over. COMMISSIONERS OF THE DISTRICT OWNING STOCK, Mr. Van Wyck’s resolution of thquiry as to Cominissioners of tue District of Columbia own- ing stock in certain corporations, was objected to by Mr. Gorman, and went over, THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. Mr, McMillan (who has charge of the river and harbor appropriation Dill), reviewed the course of the bill thus far, and gave notice that he would ask the Senate to finish it to-morrow. He moved that the vote on the passage of the bill be taken at 5 o'clock to-morrow. Several objections were made, and then Mr. McMillan announced his intention to ask the Senate to sit to-morrow till the bill was disposed of. SEIZURE OF AMERICAN VESSELS, Mr. Hoar offered a resolution calling on the President for information as to the seizure or detention in auy foreign port. of any American vessels, the pretexts or alleged causes therefor; and what efforts have been made to provide re- dress for such seizures and to prevent their re- currence. The resolution went over, AMERICAN CITIZENS IMPRISONED IN MEXICO. Mr. Call offered a resolution ealling on the President to direct the American representa- tive in Mexico to tnvestigate the trath of state- ments made in the newspapers that citizens of the United States are confined in Mexican dun- geons without trial for alleged offenses against the laws of Mexico and that their final trial has been postponed without cause, and requiring the United States government (it such state- ments are found to be true) to demand the trial of such persons and their humane treatment during confinement, and to make provision for thelr defense and reifet from confinement where no sufficient cause of detention 1s tound; also, requesting the President to institute negotia: tions with the government of Mexico for a con- vention to secure a fair trial (without unneces- sary delay) of citizens of the United States who may be charged with violating the laws of Mexico. Asa basis for the resolution Mr. Cull sent to the clerk’s desk and had read a dispatch from Chihuahua, published in the New York Herald, Stating the case of Mr. Merkley, station agent of the Mexican Central Railroad company. ‘The resolution went over. EXECUTIVE SESSION. On motion of Mr. Edmunds the Senate, at 12:45, went into executive session. ‘House of Representatives. Immediately after the reading ot the journal the Speaker anuounced that the regular order was the vote on thedemand for the previous question on the motion to refer to the commit- tee on invalid pensions the message of the President vetoing the bill granting a pension to Sally Ann Bradley. Amid a good deal ot con- fusion, Mr. Burrows, of Michigan, on the part of the republicans and Mr, Matson, of Indiana, representing the democrats, endeavored to come to some arrangemént to prevent the time belng irittered away with roll calls. It was finally agreed that the demand for the previous question should be Withdrawn and that Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, should be allowed 15 minutes to oppose thé motion to refer, with permission to some demo- crat to reply if #o desired. Mr. Grosvenor said that he desired to heap no recrimination or condemnation upon the President for his veto messages, They were caused by a total malsapprehens! ion on the past of the President and his relations to the ad- ministration of the goverument, He (Mr. Grosvenor) had read all the vetoes coming from that prolific source of vetoes and he thought the troubie was thatthe President understood that it was his duty to examine carefully every ‘act of Congress and if he, as a member of Con- gress, would not vote forthe bill he guve no sort of consideration or weight to the jact that the legislative branch of the government had acted affirmatively upon it, The President acted upon the idea that the executive had a right and it was his duty to decide absolutel: on every question, Another idea of the Presl- dent's was that no private act should be aj proved unless there was a law authorizing it, ‘wholly oblivious to the fact that Congress was the law-making power and had aright to confer nsion on anybody. Mr. Grosvenor then de- tailed the facts oi the special bill under con- sideration and commented on the fact, as he asserted, that the President had approved the Fitz John Porter bill on the very day that he had vetoed the bill grauting a pension to Sally Ann Eeadley, the mother of four sons, two of whom had died on the battlefield, and’ two of whom were in the hospital disabled. Fitz John Porter would go on the pension roll, while Sally Ann Bradley would go to the poor house, and ‘this was the government which undertook to say that it was a ay and liberally with its soldiers, The House was paralyzed und. terrifled by the veto of a single man—a pr i tion tyranical in the direction of absolute asur- pation, in the direction of turning from its nor- mal position, the Congress of the United States, and turning over the administration of the generosity of the government to one man, [Ap- Plause on the republican side.} Mr. Matson merely remarked in reply that he had just learned that in the Forty-seventh Con- gress szopab noes committee othe Bere) had Feported e@ woman. ought not n- sioned, for the same Teasons as the President said she ought not tobe pensioned. [Applause on the democratic side.) Mr. Long (Mass) suggested that at that time the woman had a husband living, who was in receipt ota pension. ‘The bill and message were then referred— yeas 122, nays 111. ANOTHER HITCH. Matters then proceeded smoothly, and the ‘on the bili granth ting, when the repubie accorded haifan BersPIting over tho vetoes of paltry pension ils for heroes of the war. [Applause.] He then proceeded to read from the record to show that all legislation tavorable tothe soldier had emanated from the republican party, and had been by republican votes against the solid vote of the representatives of the solid south, and against the almost solid vote of the democratic party. “NOT MY WILL BUT THINE BE DONE.” Mr, Brumm (Ps.) characterized the President as the great obliterater of segregated rights, ‘and the great representative of absolute power, “Not my Will, but thine be don ‘continued to berate the democrats which he did in such an energetic manner as to call forth rounds of applause and laughter trom both sides of the House, He denounced them 8 poltroons and cowards who exonerated their President whenever he chose to slap them in the face and spit upon them. The action of the House reminded him of the play of Hamle:. (Laughter.] He would substitute for the young rince the young, courageous man of herve, resident Cleveland, and for the poor old Polonius the poor, miserable cowards of the democratic party. [Laughter.] District in Congress. THE CLAIM OF THEOPHILUS FISK MILLS. In the Senate to-day the bill to pay Theophi- lus Fisk Mills $2,500 for executing a model and design for an equestrian statue of the late Gen. Rawlins was reached. Mr. Edmunds was un- der the impression that the brary committee investigated the claim several years ago and decided against it. Mr. Voorhees said Mills gave about two years of his time to the work and ought to be paid; that after the death of Gen. Rawlins some of his friends arranged with Mills to take a death mask and after he had done a great deal of work the matter was taken, outothishands. The bill went over.

THE NEW NAVY. ‘The House naval committee had under con- sideration to-day a proposition to include in the bill for the construction of vessels of war an appropriation of $350,000 to build a gunboat armed with dynamite guns. The commities will probably recommend that such a vessel be constructed, but will reduce the amount appro- lated in the bill, although the general plan for building up the navy will be adhered to, The reduction of the appropriation will not interfere with the establishment of the ord- nance works at the Washington navy yard.
