NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. It is Finally Passed in the House This Morning. MONTANA CASE IN SENATE. THE SENATE. Among the petitions presented and referred was one by Mr. Dawes from the Boston Execu- tive Business Association for the privilege of purchasing ships abroad for ten years. Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: Providing for the return of second-class mail matter, Senate bill to allow the state of California to make certain grants to educational institu- tions, Mr. Sherman offered a resolution (which was agreed to) directing the Scerctary of the In- terior to comraunicate to the Senate the report of Jesse Spaulding. government director of the Pacific railways. as to the generai manage- ment of such railways. INFORMATION AS TO CFI WANTED, Mr. Wilson (Iowa) offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to whether, since the adoption of the Treasury regulation of September 28, 1889, in reference to the transit of Chinese through the country and ESTIAL MOVEMENTS | their departure therefrom, any Chinese, en- tered for transit under such regulation, has failed to depart from the United States in due course, CHIEF MAYSE CHARGED WITH PROCRASTINATION. Mr, Butler offered a resolution, which was referred to the committee on contingent ex- penses, modifying one hitherto agreed to, so as to authorize the select committee on the five civilized Indian tribes to investigate the status of the negotiations in regard to the Cherokee outlet. with power to send for persons and papers and to visit the Indian territory. In connection with the resolution he sent to the clerk's desk and had read a letter from Chief Mayse, urging that that course be adopted, while Mr, Jones (Ark.) mtimated that the ob- ject of Chief Mayse was procrastination. On motion of Mr. Cameron House bill in- crensing the limit of cost for the post office + to $250,000 was taken from the calendar and passed. Mr. Hawley gave notice that he would try to cull up the Chicago world’s fair billnext Friday, THE MONTANA ELECTION Ca was taken up and Mr. Morgan addre! Senate. Regarding himself as oceupying (with his brother Senators) the attitude of a jndge, he felt. constrained to discard. as far as _possi- bie, the predilectione which natucally belo toaman who had been iu the Senate so long as he had been, and who had been arrayed politically against Senators on the other side of the chamber. He critici: and denied the correctness of one of the leading statements in the majority report, to the effect that in the organization of the Tron Hall house of repre- eutatives (the republican branch) the auditor, ho is required by the constitution to pre- side,” culled the house to order. ‘That state- ment, he said, was the column of support for the whole theory for the seating of the repub- lican claimants, and he challenged Mr. Hoar to pointto the clause in the constitution which warranted it. Mr. Hoar cited the constitutional provision that the territorial officers shon!d continue in office and discharge ali their functions until their snecessora were chosen, and then he cited the law of the territory making it the duty of the auditor to preside at the opening of the house until a speaker was clec Mr. Morgan argued ¢ justify the statement in the majority report, because im the absence of the auditor the es member of the house was to call it to order. CRITICIZING THE MAJORITY REPORT. Suppose, he said—as in the case in question— the anditor was not present in iho hall of the House of Representatives (as well known in Helena as the Senate chamber in Washington), but thought proper to go elsewhere (to the Iron Hall) “to organize a a junta, a — caucus; e duty then of the oldest member to call the house to order? It was, therefore. not correct to say (as the majority report did say) that the anditor “is required by the con- stitution to preside at the organization of the house.” Only One Nomination Today. The President today sentto the Senate the following nomination: Henry J. Ritchie of Florida to be collector of customs for the dis- trict of St. Augustine, Fla. HOUSE, After the reading of the journal Mr. Boutelle (Me.) called up the naval appropriation Dill, the pending question being upon the amend- ment adopted in committee of the whole strik ing out the clause providing for the construc- tion of three coast line battle ships, The action of the committee was rejected— yeas, 104; nays, THE NAVAL BILL PASSED. Mr. Holman (ind.) moved to recommit the Dill with instructions to the committee on naval affairs to report it back with an emendment providing for one battleship. Lost—yeus 103, nays 129, The bill was then passed. Mr. Cannon (iil.), from the committve on rules, reported a resolution for the immediate consideration of the bill to define and regulate the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States. The resolution further provides that the previous question be considered as ordered at ® o'clock today, and this provision elicited a good deal of opposition from the democratic side, Messrs, Carlisle, Breckinridge (Ky.) and Oates contending that the time permitied for debate was too restricted. e ‘The previous question was ordered: Yeas, 118; nays, 101, Mr. Carlisle moved to recommit the resolu- tion with instructions to the committee on rules to report it back with a provision for two days’ debate on the court bill. —_—_.——— THE SILVER PROBLEM, The Republican Committees of Senate and House Still Trying to Sulve It. political was at present The Senate and House republican commit- tees on the silver question were in joint session two hours this morning. Very radical differ- ences in the views of the Senators and Repre- sentatives were dieclosed by the discussion, but 4n earnest purpose was shown to harmonizo the differences if possible. One of the chief points upon which the committee could not agree was the proposed increase of national bank circulation. Such a proposition, it was said, could not se- cure a majority vote in the House, It was finally decided to commit the subject to a sub- committee of five Senators and five oy ta atives, who will continue the work of hunting fora common ground upon which they can A DIPLOMATIC SECRET.

THE ¥1 The plate printers gratefully remember the firm fight which Mr. Randall made in their be- half during the Fiftieth Congress when the question of steam against hand presses ing discussed, Mr. Randall took the cudgel for hand presses and much to the delight of the printers was successiul in his efforts, Last night the plate printers held a meeting to take action on the sad death of their cham- pion, Master u W. ©. McKiunty pr L. Jordan, James M ank Barry up appropriate resolu- A committee will also be appointed to attend the funeral, Mr. W. C. McKinney, the master workman of the Plate Printers’ Assembly, today called upon Mra. Randall and conveyed to ber verbally an expression of the sorrow felt by the plate printers over the death of their friend, and tendered the services of the assembly as a tuneral escort from the residence to the depot. Mrs. Randall fe!t obliged to decline the teuder of an escort, but expressed her appreciation of the feeling that prompted the offer, and said that Mr. Randall would have deemed it a great honor to have an escort of workingmen, ‘The executive committee of the Labor L e of the District of Columbia today passed reso- lutions of respect to the memory of Mr. Ran- dall, who, as the resolutions stated, was mainly instrumental in having passed the act of relief of 1874, providing for the pay of workmen in the District who had claims against the gov- ernment, NO CHANGE IN THE PROGRAM. At the urgent request of a number of the members of the House Representative O'Neill of Pennsylvania this morning cailed at the resi- dence of the deceased Congressman to ascertain Mrs. Randall's wishes in regard to the funeral premouies, There was anearnest desire on {the part of the members that the funeral should assume a national character and that the ceremonies should be celebrated in the chamber which has been the scene of the dead statesman’s duties and labors, +. Randall, while appreciaung to the full the friendship and affection which instigated Mr, O'Netil’s action, and while being thankful to Mr. Randall's colleagues for their desire to do him honor, decided that the original pro- gram should be carried owt and that the cere- monies should take of St. Louis, ex-Nenator n.

Mr. Randall often expvessed before his death to her and his children and his close friends a wish that he should be buried without ostenta- tion—as a private citizen.

Mrs. ndail does not feel that she can disre- gard this, At Mrs. Randall's request Mr. president of the Farmer tional Bank, and Mr. € of the Pennsylvania r: ad, have been added to the list of honorary pall-bearers.
