Objection was made to this, but the Senate, by a vote of 24 to19, directed the pension bills to be proceeded with. ‘Mr. Beck criticised the action of the chairman of the committee on commerce for not pressing the river and barbor bill, and intimated that the apparent desire of Mr, McMillan toget on with that bill was not sincere. Mr. MeMillan Alice that he had yester day agreed to yield to tne Senator irom New Hampshire for pension bills, which would con- sume but little time, ‘The House bill increasing ghe pension of John Ryan and Senate bill grafting a pension to James Noyes were taken up and passed, the latter bill being described by Mr. Cockrell ‘as a mere act ol charity toa colored preacher who had only served a litule while In the Louisiana, Native Guards, but Mr. Biairsaid that the man had also served in a colored regiment and in the veteran brigade. The next bill taken ep. and d was a House bill granting a pension of montily to Miss M ry A, Thomas, who had acted as vol- unteer army nurse and superintendent of nurses at Frederick, Md. Alter ten more pension bills were passed the ‘Senate at 12:30 resumed consideration of the RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. Mr. Ingalis called attention to the lax and careless manner in which the new edition of the bill (printed this morning) had been got up. He had veen assureu by the chairman of the ¢ mmittee on commerce that great care had Leen exercised in arranging the bill in its latest form, yet upon the most cursory and casual ex- @:nination of the bili he found: A GREAT VARIETY OF “KCCENTRICITIES,” ‘such 4s items in which the total appropriation Was less than the amount directed (in the same item) to be expended in some special purt of the work. He instanced some twenty or more of these cases, and submitied that it Was lird- ly appropriate that the Senate suouid be ¢ bed upon to adopt the amendment in gross, wi out further consideration, He suid this ‘without hostility to the bill, Air. McMillan explained that the reduction of 25 per cent had been computed on the amount 0: the appropriation aid that the distribution of tue amount of an Item among several pars of the works was merely # matter of | computation ‘Unat could be done as the bill was velug read. MR. VEST INDIGNANT, Mr, Vest cailed attention to a sentence in Mr. Conger’s speech yesterday—which he bad not heard, and which appeared to be aimed at the Senator from Texas (Mr. Coke), and himself. It was lo the effect that two members of the com- mittee on commerce had confessed that they had been actuated by corrupt motives, If he hud beard such a statement 1t would have re- ceived irom hima very stern,empbatic and indignant denunciation. Any Senator who would panty: himself as to make such an admission would deserve tobe expelled. So far irom making any such coniession he bad repelled an imputation made ‘upon the com- mittee by the Senator trom Kansas (Mr. Plumb), and had suid that the committee had been influenced by the same mutives us in- jlueuced every Senator in the muster of getting: ‘4ppiopriations fur his own state; but be had re- pelied the ides of venality or curruption. The bill bad veen butchered, but its blood was not on his hands, MR.

Personal Encounter Between Repre- sentatives Cobb and Laird. THE LIE PASSED AND MR. LAIRD STRIKES MR. CORB A HEAVY BLOW ON THE MOUTH AND Nose. Quite asensation was created In the House this afternoon by a personal encounter between Representatives Cobb, of Indiana, and Laird, of Nebraska, growing out of the charges made by the former on the floor of the House to the effect that the Nebraska member had been concerned inland ring. Representative Payson, of Iili- nois, a member of the public lands committee, was explaining to Representative Gilfillan the effect of certain Senate amendments toa bill intended to protect the rights of homestead settlers when Representative Laird leaned from his seat toward the party and asked why “You fellows” (reterring to the public lands commit- tee) ‘do not do something to break up the land Tings in the south instead of riding us in the north.” Mr. Payson replied that that was what the cominitige was endeavoring 40 do. Mr. Cobb undertook to deféhd the committee, of ehtch he ls ihe chairman: and some angry Passages occurred between him and Mr, Laird, which ended by the latter gentleman calling the tormer a liar, Witnesses say that Mr. Cobb declared that Mr. Laird did not dare to come outside and re- peat lils language. Mr, Laird is said to have replied that the gentieman could not get out soon enough for im, With this the pair started througu the lobby into tue busement. Sume one culled Mr. Payson’s attention w their exit,,wita the Statement that they were going vdlside to figntitout, Theredpon Mr. Payson hurried through the doorway and coming up with the Would-be combatants on the stairway caught Mr. Cobb by tue coliar wud remoustrated wit hun tor pursuing so boyish anu foolish a course. He succeeded in getting Mr. Cobb w retrace his steps 4s far us the West door of the lubuy, Mr. Laird tollowing, when the controversy broke out afresh, Recurring to the charges Mr. Cobb had made against him in a speech several days ago, Mr. Laird angrily declared that ne (Coob) was "a —— liar.” Mr. Uobb rejoined that Mr. Laird was “a — per,urer,” bu. the words bad bardly passed bis dips veciore Mr. Laird struck him a heavy blow On the mouth aud nose, A stream of blood trickled down Mr. Cobb's face and he was thrown backward against tne doorway. A crowd wich iad collecied inter- posed at this juncture and the comba ants sepa- Fated, Mr. Laird takiug his seat tu the House aud Mr. Laird reclining in an easy cbuir in the lobby, where Le was surrounded by iriends. THE BAD FEELING BETWEEN THE TWO MEM- BERS dates back some montus, and it was apparent on the occasion when Mr. Cobb. made his charges against Mr. Laird some three weeks ago that the last named member with great difficulty restrained trom emphasizing with his fist the indignant denial and defiance he hurled at his autagonist. There is every reason to believe that if interference had not come in the shape of Mr. Payson, who sought to puar oil on the troubled waters, that a sanguinary per- sonal combat would have resulted. Both of the inembers concerned are of powerful physique, and bear the reputation of men ready at ail Umes to defend themselves in afitting manner. Mr, Cobb stands six feet and over iu his shoes, aud ts of proporticuate breadth, but is some- what at a disadvantage on the'score of age, being 58 years old, Mr. Laird ts but 37 years uf agegwith a girth of chest that would ornament an Mbicte, and # ery, impetuous temper. On the other hand, he 1s, also, slightly lame, the result of a fracture of the leg a year or two ago. Neither of the members is willing to make a Statement at Unis time, and THE PROBABLE UPSHOT OF THE ENCOUNTER is a matter of speculation among their brother members. The opinion is expressed that the House of Representatives has been outraged by the affray, and tuat it is w fitting subject for investigation by that body, but a majority of the meinvers who are disposed to talk ubout the matter hold that as the encounter aid not occur on the tluor, the House is in no wise con- cerned in it, Mr. Cobb said to a SraR reporter that he thought the matter would go no further. District in Congress. THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS DISGUSTED, The District Commissioners speak in words of sad disappointineut of their experience in Congress yesterday in their efforts to get im- portant ‘legislation for the District. That measures which interest comparatively but few persons, as corporators, or single individ- uals sould’ command the entire attention of the House to the exclusiou of bills that interest the whole cotamuuity is certainly, they sa: discouraging.

Loxpox, July 16.—Some sensation was pro- duced here yesterday afternoon by a Central News telegram trom New York stating that an extradition treaty nominally directed against Socialists had been signed here. Ihave taken Steps to find out the facts, whic: The above story is untrue, or at least zrossiy exaggerated, There has been talk in the off cial circles of both countries tor some time past of amenaments tothe extradition treaty. There have also been negoila and there may well be vy this Lime something settled, but the negotiations are of no political character WuAl- ever, They have merely been dire ted to the improvement and extension of the existing 10 adequate treaty.
