MITCHELL, Mr. Mitchell, rising to a personal explanation, sent to the clerk’s desk and had read what he des- ignated as a “somewhat Jocular newspaper item,” reflecting on himself n connection with his speech last ‘Thursday on the Chinege question, intimating that he had obtatned the floor by the courtesy of Mr. Gray “Co submit a few observations,” and had occupied it for two hours and a half, to the sur- prise of Mr. Gray. He sald that so far’as the Item imputed to him any discourtesy toward the Sena- ‘tor from Delaware, or resorting to any sharp prac Uce in order to get possession of the floor, he de- nounced It In every essential particular as abso- luieiy fals*, ‘The man who inspired — that Nem (whoever he might be) was gutity of a wWillul or an ignorant misrepresentation of facts, He stated the circumstances under which he had obtalned the Moor on tuat occasion, ni sald tiat the Item in question Contained a rl attack upon him of a most contemptible na~ ture. He should be very much surprised ever to Jearn that it was inspired In any fggm by any iem- ber of the Senate, and he was qe certain that no honorable member of the press Would publish & thing of that kind against any member of the Sen- ate uniess he Was misinformed. ME, GRAY HAS NO GRIEVANCE. Mr. Gray disclaimed the possession of anything like a grievance against the Senator from Oregon. He had shown that Senator the ordinary courvesy on the occasion referred to, and had listened with pleasure to bis ‘bh OD the Chinese question. ue item looked Mke a vit of fun, which, he thought, the Senator had taken altogether too seriousiy. He had not the slightest grievance against the Senator, and would be always happy to show him a like courtesy. EXECUTIVE SESSION.

WELLAND CANAL DISCRIMINATION AGAINST AMERICAN VESSELS, ‘Mr. McMillin (Tenn.), from the committee on merchant marine and fisherles, reported the Dingiey resolution calling for information rela- uve to discrimination in tolls against American vessels passing throug the Welland Canal. Mr. Diugiey (Me.) sald that the offering of the resolution had excited some comment 1n a Cana. dian dispatch toa Boston paper giving a sem! oMiclal deniai that any discrimination against American vessels. Was practiced. in this dental, Sald Mr. Dingley, 10 was admitted that vessels passiig through ‘the Welland Canal pound for Muntreal and foreign ports were permitted to pass on a toll of two cents, whulle vessels bound for the lake ports were charyed a toll of twenty cents a ton. It was admitted also that this, discrimination was made for the —pur- ‘of encouraging the exportation of grain byway of Montreal; but Canadian officials claimed tuat such # discrimination was not in violation of treaty. It was asserted that 3o long a8 the Cana. Glan government did not discriininate against American Vessels, as such, but only t= ican ports, theré was no such Violation.
