Mr. Allison, from the committee on appropria- tions, reported back the House bill appropriating $6,900,000 for payment of penstoners of the Mex!- can war.

Be. S: fe oe anes NX tect coast fortifications. The plan which they had submitted to the committee was expressed in the form of a bill which he would have printed in the Record; and along with it he would have printed the plan submitted, at the last moment, by the House conferees. ‘he country would judge be- tween these propositions and decide where the Dlame lay for the failure by this to do anything towards inaugurating some efficient system Of fortitications. ‘The irreconcilable difference between the Senate managers and House managers was on the question of purchas- ing steel for the purpose of making steel guns of the highest type. ‘The question might be summed in one @itence: Whether steel guns should be subordinated to cast-Iron guns, or cast-tron guns subordinated to the highest type of steel guns. THE COUNTRY’S DEFENSES ALLOWED TO CRUMBLE. Mr. Hawley, (another of the conferees) said that he desired to emphasize this most extraordinary condition of affairs; there was no fortification bill for the current year, nor for the next year. So far ‘a8 concerned the army coast defenses and the ueavy guns, nothing whatever had been done. ‘There Was no money to cut the grass along the glacls of the forts, or to buy shingles or nails for the old sheds and’ dwellings of the forts—not one solitary cent. ‘The work was stopped, and all the property at these forts was leit to rack and Tuin for the coming two years, ‘The simpie state- ment of that fact was a inost extraordinary indict ment of “somebody.” He had no doubt. Whatever That, if the whole ‘subject could have been lett ‘open to the full and free deliberation of Congres something would have been done which Woul have beeh a credit to the country. So far as the Senate was concerned the Accord would show that the debates and votes on Doth sides of the chamber had been fully up to the popular demand. He could not fathom the motlve of those men who had practically, plucked away and forbidden Congress to do anything in this matter, He knew tat there had been hang. ing around the halls and corridors of the Capitol men representing the Haskell gun and represent ing the lsolvent concern that wanted to manu- facture 12-Inch cast iron guns and innumerable cast iron mortars, Men had tried to Ue Congress to those worn out old projects, but they had been completely folled. ‘Thanks to some patriotism, Congress liad agreed to order vessels for the navy ‘and guns of the inost modern type for the sulps, and it had been placed within the hands of the Secretary of the Navy to enter into contracts for 12,000 tons of forged steel of the best. Class. He predicted that before next December there would be in this country a plant capable of taking any contract for steel, Mr. Gorman (the third conferee) thought that neither of his fellow-conferees had stated the mat ter fairly, Aiter a long conference all had agreed that the board should consist of the Secretary of War, tbe Secretary of the Navy, the general of the army and two civilians to be ‘appointed by the President. ‘Then the proposition had come up to buy stx millions’ worth of steel, to be manufac- tured in the government shops. As to that, there Was no difference of opinion, But it was coupied with the condition from the House confer- ees that an uduitional appropriation should be made throwing open to the inventive genius of the country the opportunity to manutac- Ture guns, At this point Mr. Gorman yielded the floor tem- porarily, and the conferees’ report was laid aside inforwaily tu order to let other matters of business be rushed through. BILLS PASSED. ‘The following bills were passed: ‘House bill, with amendment, to provide for the redemption and sale of the school farm lands at Beautort, 8. C.

Nearly every member had some pet measure upon Which he shouted for recognition, nearly all shouting at once. When for a moment there Yas.an opening for @ motion they made such a tumult that the sound of the Speaker's gavel could scarcely be heard as he pounded violently on bis desk for order, Every now and then during the night the hard worked and haggard conferees Would come in with thelr reports and the tumult had to give way before them, Early in the night the Capito! looked as tf given up tosome gran dfes- tive occasion, or as if the populace had assembled there to a circus and they could not all t in, ‘The galeries were packed and tne crowd blocked the doorways, looking over each others shoulders or under each others arms. Moreover, there were 80 many people in the corridors that it was dim- cult to move from one part of the Dullding to another for a while, It was not until nearly ten Grelock that the assemblage began to thtn out.
