Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr. Gibson, anticipating the calling up of Mr. Chandler’s motion to strike from the record the report of a speech purporting to have been | made by him (Mr. Gibson) on Wednesday, ex- plained how the report came to be published. The explanation was to the effect that the re- porter had not heard distinctly what he had said, and that he (Mr. Gibson) sat down in the reporter’s room and wrote out hastily some- thing of what he remembered having said. Subsequently, however, on reflection, he found out that what he had written was inaccurate, end he had inadvertently substituted what ap- peared in the Record. He had examined the original report this morning and found it more or less accurate. He therefore asked that it be substituted in the Record for that which had appeared, : MR. CHANDLER WITHDRAWS HIS MOTION. Mr. Chandler said that, in view of the ex- planation just made, he would not press his motion. He sent to the clerk’s desk and had read the official report of Mr, Gibson’s re- ublished; and said that if the published Shes had been uttered (euggesting, as they did, electoral frauds in the states of New Hampshire, Rhode Island and New York) they would not have been al- lowed to pass without comment. Mr. Gibson said that he had made similar remarks in the Senate on a previous occasion. Mr. Chandler, after further remarks, said that as the Senator from Louisiana stated, on his honor as a Senator, that the report had been inadvertently inserted in the Record he had nothing more to say. The credentials of Mr. Cullom for a new sen- atorial term were presented by Mr. Farwell, read, and placed on file. THE DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. Hale, from the appropriation committee, reported the consular and diplomatic appro- priation bill, and said that he would call it up early next week. THE TARIFF BILL. Mr. Allison moved that the Senate insist on its amendment to the tariff bill, and ask for a conference with the House on the bill and amendment. Mr. Frye, from the committee on commerce, reported back the House bill for the establish- ment of a light-ship, with fog signals, at Sandy Hook, N. J., ata cost not exceeding $60,000, with an amendment making a similar provis- ion for Great Round shoal. near Nantucket, Mass., and requiring the construction of the ships to be let to the lowest responsible bid- ders, and that the ships be built in American ship-yards. The amendment was agreed to, the bill passed, and a conference with the House asked. REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES. Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: Granting a right of way toarailroad company through the Sioux Indian reservation. In relation to dead and fallen timber on In- dian lands. For the | aorberared of a portrait of Gen. Ward B. Burnet! INTERNATIONAL MONEY ORDERS, Mr. Sawyer, from the post-office committee, reported back the House bill to increase the maximum of international money orders from $50 to $100, and it was passed. CLAIMS OF NAVAL OFFICERS. Mr. Chandler offered a resolution (which went over under the rule) instructing the com- mittee on appropriations to inquire as to the amount of claims of naval officers already pre- sented and paid, and that will probably be presented hereafter, for arrears of pay, or for allowances known as longevity, mileage, train- ing ship. and receiving ship claims; also whether unusual and improper facilities have been recently allowed in the office of the fourth auditor of the Trevsury, to attorneys or claim agents in presenting such claims. TWO APPROPRIATION BILLS PASSED. The pension appropriation bill was then taken up and passed, with but one amendment appropriating $18,000 for rent of pension agen- cies, The military academy appropriation bill was then taken up, amended, and passed, Mr, Alli- son explaining that the increase over the bill of last year was due to the erection of two buildings at the academy, one for the nse of instructors and the other for a gymnasium, RECOMMITTED. On motion of Mr. Hoar, the vote by which, Wednesday last, the bill for the relief of the Louisiana State National Bank was passed was reconsidered, and the bill recommitted to the comuitittee on claims, Mr. Hoar orga that the chairman of that committee had learned, atthe Treasury department, facts that ought to be presented to the committee and the Senate, THE ANTI-TRUST BILL, The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of the bill, reported from the finance comuittee, to declare unlawful trusts and com- binations in restraint of trade and production. On motion of Mr. Hoar tl first section w: amended by making it apply, also to goods transported into or from the District of Colum- tion. MR. HOAR’S AMENDMENT. Mr. Hoar offered an amendment to come in as an additional section. It provides that if one of the purposes of such a combination shall be to compel any person or partnership, or corporation, to become a party to it, or to cease trom doing any lawful business, or to sell or dispose of any lawful business, such person, partnership. or company may sue for and recover damages, also, that any purchaser who has (on account of such combiuation) to pay an increased price for the urticle pur- chased may sue for and recover damages from any party to the combination, ‘ter a short discussion the amendment was agreed to. » EXISTING TRUSTS. Mr. Eustis called the attention of Mr. Sher- man (in charge of the bill) to the fact that the bill did not seem to apply to existing trusts; and he offered an amendment providing (as an additional section) that any person who, a days after the enactment of the law, act as a manager, officer, trustee, or agent of any such combination, shall be liable to the penalties provided in the bill, The bill as amended was ordered printed as well as the pending amendments. Mr. Sherman gave notice that when the trust bill next came up he would in- sist upon its consideration, and that it should not be di for any other matter (whether the Lord’s Prayer or the Ten Com- mandments) os by a vote of the Senate. Ou motion of Mr. Paddock the Senate bill to establish two additional land districts in the state of Nebraska was passed. House of Representatives. THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr. Townshend (Ill.) from the committee on military affairs, reported the army appropria- tion bill and it was placed upon the calendar. MILITARY AND NAVAL MUSEUM IN WASHINGTON, Alsoa bill to establish a national military and naval museum in the city of Washington. Committee of whole. THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. ‘The House then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Dockery (Mo.) in the chair, on the sundry civil appropriation bill. THE FIGHT AGAINST STEAM-PRESSES. The pending paragraph was that providing that the royalty paid for the use of steam plate-presses in the bureau of engraving and The amendment offered by Mr. White (N. Y.), fixing the royalty at $1 few royalty paid under existing contract) was defeated without division. The amendment offered by Mr. Long (Mass.), fixing the royalty at 50 cents per thousand im- pressions, was lost—81-85, A HAND-PRESS VICTORY. The amendment offered by Mr. Farquhar (N. Y.), providing that no part of the appro- priation made by the bill shall be used for the repair or construction of steam plate printing presses, was agreed to—46—41, Mr, Randall (Pa.) offered an amendment providing that unless the patentee of the syeam-presses shall accept the $500 already paid as royalty on each press and the rate per thousand sheets herein provided (1 cent) the presses shall not be used by the government after the close of the present fiscal year, ‘The amendment was adopted. On motion of Mr. Outhwaite (Ohio) an amendment was adopted providing that the name of every person whose portrait is printed on government securities shall be printed under the portrait. MR. FORAN EXPLAINS WHAT EE DID SAY. In speaking to a verbal amendment Mr. Foran (Ohio) sent to the clerk’s desk and had read from the Record the report of a colloquy between himself and his colleague (Mr. Butter- worth) on Tueeday last. This record, he said, reported him as saying that he was glad that the country had nearly reached a condition “when no individual had the right to employ an American freeman without permission of some society.” Mr. J. D. Taylor, of Ohio, called attention to the fact that Mr. Butterworth was not present, but Mr. Foran stated that he would say ore derogatory of his colleague and proceede: with his statement. Mr. Butterworth, he said, had remarked: “We have nearly reached a condition of things in this country when no- body has a right to discharge,” and he (Mr. Foran) had replied: ‘I am glad of it.” He had had reference to the notorious fact that em- ployers did discharge their men because they were American freemen, because they belonged to societies and because they exercised the right to vote as they pleased. DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. THE SOLDIERS’ HOME RAILWAY. Senator Cullom to-day introduced the bill to amend the charter of the Eckington and Sol- diers’ Home railway company which was intro- duced in the House on Wednesday by Mr. Rowell. CAPITOL TOPICS. THE REMAINS OF REPRESENTATIVE BURNES, of Missouri, were taken away from this city last night, A number of friends were present when the casket was closed. Chaplain Milburn offered a brief prayer, and the body was then car- ried to the waiting hearse by eight capitol olicemen. The cece f f euneiendis were nators Vest, Teller, and Coke, and Repre- sentatives Stone, Wade, Bynum, Mansur, Hen- derson of Iowa, and Sayers, and Morrill. They have gone with the remains to St. Joseph, Mo., where the interment will take place. Others who went were Mr. D. D. Burnes, son of the de- ceased; Col. Fielding Burnes, brother of the deceased; Col. J. H. Chinn, and Private Secre- tary DeKnight. ‘The funeral party left on the westbound Pennsylvania express last night at 7:40 o'clock, THE YELLOW FEVER MICROBE. The Senate committee on epidemic ‘diseases listened for a considerable time yesterday morning to Dr. Paul Grier, the French yellow fever specialist. He detailed the results of a long series of experiments he had made in con- nection with his search for the yellow fever microbe. At the request of the committe the doctor will submit a full report of his views and theories, the committee believing that the Frenchman has really made important discov- eries. “THE HEAD OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT.” President pro tempore Ingalls indulged in a little sarcasm at the expense of Secretary En- dicott this morning. So many officers have lately been temporarily appointed acting Sec- retary of War that there been a good deal of humorous comment on the changes, It was difficult to tell who was in charge of army affairs from one day to another, is morn- ing he laid before the Senate some matters from that branch of the government. with the statement that it was from “the head of the War department.” PLATE PRINTERS AND STEAM PRESSES The Senate finance committee yesterday heard statements from the parties interested for and against the use of steam plate-printing resses in the bureau of engraving and printing. lessrs. Ralston and Carney represented the labor organization in their opposition to the presses, while Chief Graves, of the bureau of printing and engraving pleaded for a contin- uance of their service. A BURN QUESTION. Conflict of Authority in the Interior Department—Gas vs. Electricity. ‘There is a rather exciting question at issue just now of the Interior department.@A chief of a division in the general land office claims that the electric light in the hall near some ing.

Special Dispatch to THE Evexrxe Stan. Cuartestown, W. Va., Jan. 25.—All the bal- lots cast for United States Senator amount to nothing and will amount to nothing until wrangling over the adoption of rules to govern the joint assembly ceases and the question is finally settled. Nor does the balloting indicate what the result will be. Another meeting of the democratic caucus held last night shows that Kenna will probably be the caucus nomi- nee. He lacked one vote only under the two- thirds rule of getting the nomination last night, and it is said that he would get the sup- port at the next caucus, called for Monday night, of one who was absent last evening, and that Harr, who would not go into the caucus, will support him on joint ballot. The union labor men practically hold the key to the situ- ation. An attempt is being made, it is said, to induce them to support Goff for Senator in order that Carr, one of their number, might thus by law become governor. This arrange- ment, however, will hardly be effected. The senate has got down to work, and among the bills introduced was one to provide for the listing of the male citizens of the state of West Virginia who are entitled to vote under the constitution of the state, and to provide for suitable punishment for persons voting or attempting to vote who are not qualified voters of the state. exercising or attempting to exercise undue influence over voters. and for officers of election for malfeasance in office. A bill wes also introduced fora constitu- tional amendment creating the office of lieut- enant-governor. f Next Tuesday will be the second Tuesday after the organization of the senate, and, therefore, no question can be raised after that date as to the legality of a senatorial election, and ‘t is believed an election will be had then or the day following. a HONORING MR. PHELPS. Notabilities of All Kinds Present at the Lord Mayor’s Banquet to Him. Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR. Lowpox, Jan. 25.—Almost before the com- pany was fairly seated at the Phelps banquet yesterday, it had become a mere commonplace to say that the gathering was one of the most distinguished ever seen at the lord mayor's table. Never at any dinner before have the entire bench of judges with two exceptions at- tended. The bar, too, was in strong force. Medicine was represented by the most dis- tinguished practitioners; art by almost the en- tire body at royal academicians, and there were also some of the most eminent preachers, musicians, dramatists, actors, novelists and journalists of the day. So many men of im- portance had-claims to be present that. con- trary to the usual custom, no ladies were in- vited. Yet practically THE GOVERNMENT WAS UNREPRESENTED, not a single minister of cabinet rank being present. The observed of all observers after Minister Phelps were Judges Hannen and Day, of the Parnell con jon. The third com- missioner, Judge Smith, was not there. Am the American residents was Consul-General Waller, who received con; ulations, ban- quet coinciding with his birthday. Mr. Phelps’ speech, prepared beforehand, was in the hands of the newspapers before it was delivered, but ‘it was delivered with all the apy of being impromptu. It was qrecity admired both for its matter and manner. is remark about people who never made a mistake GREATLY TICKLED THE AUDIENCE. The speaker could not proceed for fully half aminute, Among those loudest in praise of Mr. Phelps’ speech was the war correspondent, ‘Bull Run” Russell, with his breast a perfect blaze of decorations. His praises could be heard all over the hall. Next to Russell sat Edmund Yates, who, remembering the chief justice’s tence upon him of four months’ imprisonment, looked particularly scornful when the latter spoke in responding for the bench of tempering justice with mercy.

Nothing, therefore, was want- ing phe success of = rg v4 tion of England's generous good feeling. trust that the Americans will not take our God- speed to Mr. Phelps as an act of vicarious peni- tence.
