Reall, president of the American Agricultural and Dairy association, sent an appeal to the Presideni asking him to sign the oleomarga- rine bill. A WASHINGTONIAN LIKELY TO CoME To Cox@ress.—Indications in New Mexico point to the probable nomination by the republicans of Col. Jos. W. Dwyer, formerly of this city, and now of Colfax county, as their delegate in'Con- gress from that territory. The belie is enter- tained, too, that he could be elected, if nomi- nated, as ‘the present democratic "delegate lacked nearly three thousand of a majority of the whole vote, and owed his election to the fact that there were two republican candidates im the fleld. Mr. Dwyer's large acquaintance with public men, his experience in government affairs, and his well known energy and industry would make him a most influential and useful representative, and if he is as popular as he deserves to be he can easily be nominated and elected. He has many friends in Washington who would give him a warm welcome as dele- gate from that prosperous and promising terri- tory.

ME. HATCH RISES TO A POINT OF ORDER, Mr. Hutch (Mo.), rising to a point of order, sent to the clerk’s desk and bad read the in- structions given to the conference committee by the House relative to the Hennepin, Stur- geon bay, Potomac flats, and other clauses of the river ‘and harbor appropriation vill. ‘The point of order he made was Lat the report of the conlerence committee was in direct viola- lion of every singie instruction given. by the House, and “thereore was not in order, and should not be received. If this report were re- evived no confidence could hereafter be placed in a conterence committee. Since the first day Of the first session of the first Congress no suet record had ever been made by a conference committee. It stood alone, without a single precedent. It had no precedent, and he trusted iL would Hever nave au ituitator. He held that Ube House couterees were bound in honor by the instructions of the House, and could not exceed those instructions, MK. BLANCHARD DEFENDS THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE, Mr. Blanchard (La.) wised to inform the gentleman from Missouri that the House con- ferees did not propose to take their ideas of honor from him. It was not true, as stated by the gentleman, that every single item about whieh the Houte had given instructious was ia the bill, and the geutieman knew it was not true. ‘They had ail been moditied except the Potomiae flats item, He was aware the gentle- mao did not expect the point of order to be sus- tale part of the plan of the gentle- an and other would-be leaders on tho. floor to deleat this bit, ‘The purpose. and object. of the gentleman was to provoke a long discussion and delay the bill. The same point had been debated in the Senate, when the question of appoluting conferees was be- fore that body, aud the decision arrived at was thai the action taken by the House did not amount to an instruction aud did not prevent a free conference. The House had said that tue conferees should insist upon a disagree- ment to certain Seuate umendments and they hud insisted and used every persuasion and every honorable means to carry out the 1n- structions of the House. It was only when mujority of the House conferees saw that the bill was about to be lost involving @ loss of millions of dollars to the government Uhat they receded from their disagree- ment with certain important modifica: tion. Upon the question of honor he wised the gentleman to understand that be- fore hé, a comparatively inexperienced mem- ber, yielded to the Senate conterees he had souglit the advise of the best friends he had_in both houses—tnen who were the peers of the gentleman from Missouri in all that went to imuke up character—und itgvas upon their sug- gestion that this matter ifvolved. no question of legislative or personal honor that he at last had yielded upon the propositions of the Sen- ate. Mr. Hatch was not aware that he had said anything calling in question the honor of the geltlemin from Louisiana, He had not offered Is service to te gentleman, and when he Wanted to Instruct a gentleman on a point of honor ue would select his own pupil, He did not know Why the gentleman should go to the Senate for ipstructions, galt, Blauchard—And ‘the gentleman did not 10 80. HAD ENOUGH OF THE SENATE CONTROLLING THE HOUSE. Mr. Hatch—The gentleman stated positively and emphatically what the arguments of the distinguished gentleraen In the Senate were on this question, and the inference of the gentie- mun's remarks was that he nud been gulded by the opinion of the Senate couterees, and not by the action of the House. We have bad enough ot the Senate controlling this body, and it is pretty near time to come buck to the point where the House of Representatives can con- trol its own matters and its own conferees. ‘The gentleman stated that I said what was not true. I reiterate just what I suid. The conferees were instructed to strike from the Senate amendment certain raphs; and every one of these iphs is still Ih the bill. I do not say say they huve not been modified. They have been moditied. They have been oiled a little fa order to enable the House to swallow them.

Mr. Henderson (Iils.) opposed the point ot order and urged the adoption of the conference report, If any bi!l was to be passed 1t must be passed now, and upon this report. Mr. Hatch said thut while he would vote for proper river and lwarbor bill he could ‘never Vote for @ bill with one of these canal projects Mr. 8) ini r ht that there was no basis fof the potat of in that the action ‘of the House could 10t be ‘construed as an in- struction, as such @ construction would be at “afl Spouker sala that while under te reoeet e er le under tbe Practice the House might instruct its conferees | [AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. it might afterwards desire to reverse that in- struction. This might be done upon a confer- ence report; and as the effect of the pending re- Pert wasto bring the matter again before t louse for its action, he was of the opinion that the point of order Was not well taken. Mr. Hatch raised the question of considera- ton against the report, but the House—111 to 24—decided to consider'it. Mr. Willis (Ky.)—a member of the conference committee—said that he had declined to sign the report because he honestly believed that it were ratifled by the House It would be not only the end of this bili, but the end of every river and harbor bill in the future. He ‘appealed to every friend of rivers and harbors to vote down this confereace report. If that Were done, before tne sun set to-day there {ould be another report free from objectionable features, Mr, Bayne (Pa,) expressed the belief that the canals were on the bill tostay,and that no more river and harbor bills would be passed without canals in them, Mr. Henderson (1il.) and Mr. Henderson (Ia.) eulogized the Hennepin canal project as being in the direction of turnishing cheap transporta- ton to the people of the northwest. THE CONFERENCE REPORT REJECTED, The House refused—yeas 102, nays 135—to agree to the conference report on the river and harbor bill. During the debate Mr, Blanchard gave warn- {pg that if the pending report were voted down, re would be no opportunity of passing any river and harbor bill ut this seston. Upon motion ot Mr. Willis the House further insisted upon its disagreement to the Senate amendment, anda further conference was or- ered. TEMPORARY APPROPRIATION. ‘Mr. Randall (Pa.), from the committee on ap- Propriations, reported ajoint resolution extend- ing until the 10th of August the provisions of theJotnt revolution providing temporarily, for the expenditures of the government, He asked for the immediate consideration, but Mr. His- cock (N.

Treasurer Jordan hada long talk with Mr. ‘Warnen of Ohio, at the Capitol to-day concern- ing the bill to permit the treasurer to hold the District sinking fund in the Treasury instead of Investing it in District bonds, which are at s high premium, to the consideration of which the latter gentleman objected in the House yes- terday, Mr. Jordan 1s very anxious to have the bili passed, as it will effect a great savingof money to the District of Columbia. The feature of the bill which reters to the ten per cent se- curity deposit of contractors doing work for the District is considered very important, as the present law requiring this toney to be Invested, in government bonds must effect a great injus- ties to the contractors ora heavy loss to the government. These bonds, bought at a pre- inium, grow less in value as they grow near maturity, until when they mature they are at par. In this way the premium paid in the first nstance Is Hable to be lost, whieh loss must be sustained by either the government or the con- tractors. Capitol Toptes. MR. TUCKER AND HIS SUCCESSOR. Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, has telegraphed con- gratulations to Mr. Bumgardner, who has been nominated in his place, wishing “success to my successor.” In reply Mr. Bumgardner says: “To sucesed you successfully would indeed be success.” THE HOUSE AT LAST NIGHT'S SESSION passed eight pension bills. Mr. Wallace, of Louisiana, was present and made the point of no quorum against a bill he thought improper. This brought some of the most pronounced pen- sion advocates down on him and quite a lively debate followed. Mr, Wallace was charged with being unfriendly to the soldiers. He replied in- dignantly to the charge, and after a while good feeling Was restored. NOMINATIONS, The President yesterday sent to the Senate the following nominations: Gen. Dabney H. Maury, of Virginia, to be minister to the U.S. ‘ot Colombia. Cornelius C. Watts, to be United States attorney forthe district of Wert Virginia. ‘Paymaster Charles F.Guild, to be pay Inspector in the navy. Passed Assistant Paymaster Sam- uel R.

At the close of the Mexican war he was appointed a professor of ethics at West Point, and served about four years. In 1861 he was captain and adjutant general of the department ot New Mexico, under Gen. Fauntleroy. At the breaking out Of the lute war he resigned his commission iu the United States army and en- tered the service of the confederate states. At West Point he was in the class with Gens.

Since the war Gen, Maury has been engaged in the insurance business at Richmond. THE NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT BILL PASSES THE After the adoption of the surplus resolution in the Senate yesterday the House bill to in- crease the naval establishment was taken up. On motion of Mr. Edmunds, an amendment Was adopted providing “that the Secretary of the Navy may pure ‘abroad only suc shaiting as itmay be impossible to obtain in the United States in time for use in the con- Straction of the vessels herein provided for.” Mr. Whitthorne, a member of the naval cot mittee, expressed his regret that he could not coneur with the majority of that committee. ‘The gravest error, be thought, would be com: mitted in the expenditure tor the completion of the monitors. It would be better to sink the money in mid-ocean than to lead the country to rely on those monitors, which were not worth cent. The bill was then passed, A contereuce Was asked for, and Messrs. Cameron, Hale and McPherson appointed conferees, Mr. Herbert, the chairman of the House naval affairs committee, will ask the House to concur in the Senate amendments to the bill, und itis expected that there will be no serious objection, A BRIDGE BILL VETOED, The President has vetoed the Senate bill for the construction of a highway bridge over Lake Champlain, between the towns of North Hero and Alburg, Vt. because a bill identical with the one vetoed wus passed June 20, 1884, and approved.

HAINS’ REPORT ON THE FORTIFICATIONS: OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL, ‘The report of Col. P. C. Hains, U.S. A,, in charge of the fortifications of Washington, says ot Fort Fuote, Maryland, that “no work has been done on the proposed new battery recom- mended by the board of engineers in 1872 since 1874. At the present time the condition oi this work may be described as one of utter dilapidation, “The magazine ought to be fin- ished to prevent further deterioration.” ‘The buildings at Fort Foote, Col. Hains says, are of perishable material and rapidly going to decay. As the post is not occupied by troops he does. not think it worth while to repair all the build- ings. Slight repairs to two sets of officers’ quarters ure recommended. During the year one set of officers’ quarters were painted, the roads repaired and the slopes mowed. Jn regurd to Fort Washington, Col. Hains re- rts that the masonry is in good condition, utsays that the fort, having been designed. @ half century ago, is’ not adapted to modern defense. The obstructions for use in the river, Col. Hains says, ure stored away at Fort Foote. The Umber portion has become entirely worthless from decay, but the iron is in good condition, eae The Fisheries Question. CANADA WILL SEND OUT NEW CRUISERS AND WARD OFF ALL AMERICAN FISHERS.

A Senate Committee to Inquire Into the Expediency of the Project. MR. HOAR'S RESOLUTION AMENDED AND ADOPTED—A LIVELY DEBATE UPON 1T— SENATORS WHO OPPOSE HOLDING AN EXPO- SITION HERE—MB, HOAR DEFENDS THE PROJECT. In the Senate today, when Mr. Hoar's reso- lution to appoint a committee in relation to the projected permanent exposition was reached, he moved to amend by making the committee seven instead of five and insert the word “expediency,” so as to direct the commit- tee to consider the expediency of an exposition and report a plan at the next session of Con- gress, Mr. Hawley admonished the Senate to go slow on this question. He said a number of gentlemen, honest and honorable, and with the best motives, proposed to erect on the public grouncs of Washington large and splendid buildings. It was not only proposed to erect large buildings,but to maintain them; to main- tain @ perm: itexposition, Mr. Hawley said we already havea permanent national museum ‘that is @ credit to the nation, and that, with its Possibilities, is sufficient for permanent pur- poses. The scheme, as he understood it, con- pnp iaies magnificent buildings, and that the exuibits shall be supplied, not shareholders or the government, but by the exhibitors, He did not believe that the manufacturers and business men of the country are prepared to enter into anything of such magnitude and ex. penditure, Mr Hawley called atteation to the fact that permanent expositions had been fail- ures without exception. Even the effort to continue the centennial failed. Mr. Hawley estimated that the cost, under the plan sug- gested, would reach several millions of dollars, and he objected to committing the government, Mr. Hoar declared that it was not the inten- tion to commit the Senate or government in the least. Mr. Hawley retorted that the resolution in directing a plan to be reported did commit the government, Alter some debate as to the wording of the resolution, Mr. Hawley proposed to change it 80 as to direct a committee of seven to consider the expediency of such an exposition, and if deemed expedient, to report # plan, the cost, etc., for consideration of Congress. Mr. Voorhees, as a member of the library committee, said the purpose was only to ap- point a committee to confer with gentlemen who had proposed the exposition. MR. VAN WYCK THINKS IT IS TOO LATE, Mr. Van Wyck thought it too late in the ses sion to bring up the question. Besides, he said, nearly three years Intervene and there would be ample time at the next session to consider this subject. He animadverted severely upon the custom of coming into the Senate in the late days of a session with resolutions to raise new committees and continue old ones, He declared that it was proposed iu some in- stances to continue committees during the recess which had nothing to do during the session and were useless at vest. ‘Mr, Hoar said that prominent and honorable residents of Washington had consulted the diplomatic representatives of the South and Central American governments aud they warmly sympathized with the prey of cele- brating the adoption of the Constitution which had served those countries as models, and the anniversary of the discovery of America. Those nations, he said, were children of American liberty, and they’ were willing to co-operate in the project. Mr. Hoar warmly eontended for the right of citizens of Washington to be heard aad to receive respectful consideration, MR. HALE SAYS WASHINGTON IS NOT THE PLACE. Mr. Hale was willing to enter upon the project of celebrating the events named,but he em- phatically declared that Washington is not the place for such celebration. It had none of the requisites, he said. He would countenance it for some one of the great cities of the Union, but he was not willing to listen to any sug: gestion.ot a big exposition in Washington. ‘Mr. Saulsbury regarded it as an insidious movement to expend millions of public money. He ridiculed the idea of Washington contrib- uting anything towards the project. He did hot belleve that $30,000 could be raised here for the purpose. If he owned a large hotel here or Kept a saloon, he would favor the plan. It Was a scheme to make the government foot the whole bill, He said Mr, Hour had alluded to the interest manifested by Spain and other foreign governments in the project, and that meant a big outlay for the entertainment of those potentates. Mr. Saulsbury opposed the plan in toto, and declared it was unconstitu- tional, There is no power, he said, to authorize Congress to tax the people of the country to ive the people of Washington a frolic. He was in favor of saying to the people ot Washington, here and now, that Congress Washes its hands of the whole scheme. The resolution, as amended by Mr. Hawley so as to direct a committee of seven to inquire and report upon the expediency of the exposition, Was adopted by a vote of 41 w 12. THE VOTE IN DETAIL. The vote was as follows: Yeas—Messrs.

Tue RESIGNATION oF PUBLIC PRIXTER Rounns.—It cannot be learned at the White House whether the President has formally accepted the resignation of Mr. 8. P.
