The Sundry Civil Bill in the House. CONSIDERING SENATE AMENDMENTS, —_-—___ SENATE. The Senate met at lla.m, After prayer the question of a quorum was raised by Mr, Mor- gan and a call was ordered, which showed the presence of only thirty-eight Senators. Mr. Hoar inquired whether the sergeant-at-arms had made any report of his proceedings on Wednesday evening under the order of the Senate to compel the attendance of absent Senators. ‘The Vice President replied that the chair had not received sucha al fet On motion of Mr. Ing. number of Senators in attendance had reached the quorum point—43—and the secretary pro- cevded to read the journal of yesterday, all further proceedings under the oall being dis- pensed with, COMPLAINING OF THE $10 FEE TO PEXSION AGENTS, Mr. Blair presented « memorial from the headquarters of a Graud Army post expressing abhorrence at the action of Congress in allow- ing pension agents a fee of $10 in each ease under the recent dependent pension act, and nares | the circular of a Washington claim fering to active men in localities one- half the tee in all cases sentto him. He said that he concurred with the memorialists in the agent o! expression of their “abhorrence.” KICKING AGAINST TRE LODGE BILL. Mr. Cockrell presented memorial from Bt Louis, Mo., protesting against the passage by the Senate of the federal election bill, and stating that the masses of the people were so “dazed with the enormity of the proposed out- ae on the sanctity of the ballot” that they had not yet formulated words in condemnation of it, Other memorials against the bill were pre- sented from Adrian, Mich. The House bill on that subject was, on mo- Hoar, referred to the committee tion of Mi on privileges and elections, TO EDIT THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, Mr. Sherman offered a resolution instructing the committee on printing to report whether any abuses exist in printing matter in the Con- gressional Record that ought not to be printed therein and to report such bill or regulation as will limit such printing to the actual proceed- ings in both houses; also, whether it 1s oxpe- dient to edit the debates of Congress by the omission of such purte as are immaterial and of such papers as are already printed as public documenta, MISTAKES IN PRINTING, The resolution gave rise to» discussion, im which several Senators participated. Mr. Hale complained that mistakes in the printing of the Record und of public documents were more numerous within the last year than ever be- fore. Mr. Allison held that the business of the Government Printing Office was never more faithfully performed than now. THE PRESSURE ON THE PUBLIC PRINTER. Mr. Gorman (« member of the committee on printing) admitted the frequent occurrence of mistakes in printing, and attributed that fact to the groat pressure on the office. He alluded to the long sessions of the Scnate and said that up to the first of July the aggregate length of time that the Senate had been in actual session exceeded by 146 hours the first session of the last Congress, and that frequently the official reporters and their assistants had to remain at work nearly all night, so that it was wonderful that the public printer had done so well as ho had. Although that officer was opposed tohim in politics he commended him as industrious, honest and efficient. Mr. Cuilom also spoke of the public printer asa thoroughly practical man, and said that there was no officer of the government more faithful or more competent, Mr. Sherman disavowed any idea of reflect- 1g on the public printer. Hix object merel was to correct an évil in regard to the Record, which was entirely too voluminous, Finally the resolution was referred to the committee on printing. THR BILL TO TRANSFER THE REVENUE MARINE SERVICE, Mr. Morril! moved to proceed to the consid- eration of the tariff bill and Mr. Gray antago- nized that motion with one to resume consid- eration of the House bill to transfor the reve- hue marine service to the Navy Department ‘The latter motion was agreed to—yeas, 32; nays, 22—and the revenue marine bill was taken up. On motion of Mr. Frye amendments were adopted extending the application of the bill to the life saving service, MM. COCKRELL, ARGUING AGAINST THE BILL, said that of all the monstrosities that had come before the Fifty-first Congress this bill beat them all, It was worthy of the aggressive and restless disposition of the distinguished Sen- ator from New Hampsbirs (Mr. Chandler), who had able lieutenants on the floor of the Senate dancing, while he, behind the scenes, pulled the wires, Heread and commented on the petition of the officers of the revenue marine asking for the transfer, and said it was the only instance in the history of the government where a body of officers came to Congress und asked that their branch of the service might be wiped out of existence in order that they might be personally benefited by it. CHR TARIFF BILL, Mr. Cockrell had not concluded his remarks when the hour of 1 o'clock arrived and the tariff bill came up as “the unfinished bnsiaess.” Mr. Aldrich asked unanimous consent that the tormal reading of the bill be dispensed with and that the Dill be read by paragraphs, the committee amendments being first acted upon, Ar: McPherson inquired 06:40 the meaning of the motion and . Aldrich undertook to enlighten him. All the paragraphs (he said) would be read seriatim, and when a committee amendment was reached it should be acted upou first, The committee amendments were themselves open to amendment, and then all the paragraphs would be open to amendment without any limitation whatever. It was not the intention of the committee to limit the power of offering amendments, Mr. Plumb objected to that t of Mr. Aldrich’s request as to the committee amend- mente. The less hidebound the matter was the better it would be, Mr, Aldrich modified his request and simply asked that the formal reading of the bill be dispensed with and that the bill be read by paragraphs for consideration. Mr. McPherson—Does the Senator mean by that that the bill will be open to amendment read? ae Mr. Aldrich—Certainly, under the rules of the Senate, Unanimous consent was given, and Mr. Vance proceeded to address the Senate. To the common-sense view, he said. it would seem that the removal of Conn otapaee dcp ‘was a matter of wisdom and that to cont to collect was not to be thoughtof for a moment, But those wi ‘reckon who would think so would ‘ without their host,” ‘That had TWO Cc MR. BLAINE ABOVE PARTY. Praise for the Secretary of State from Political Friends and Opponents. HIS MANLY STAND IN THE BEHRING SEA CORRE- SPONDENCE—HIB VIGOROUS DEFENSE OF MINIS- TER PHELPS—WHAT A PROMINENT DEMOCRAT Bare aBour IT, Mr. Biaine's old-time admirers are well pleased with the manner and matter of his Behring seacorrespondence, While there has been no progress toward a settlement of the controversy, though the agreement almost set- tled by Minister Phelps under the former ad- ministration has since been repudiated by Lord Salisbury and the tone of the correspondence has grown less friendly toward tie close, the Srasp Mr. Blaine has of tho situation and the vigor of his expressions and power of his argu- ment is commented on with considerable en- thusiasm. The verbal agreement which he has tried to hold Lord Salisbury to was that made with the democratic minister, isbury’s correspondence it appears that the British minister of foreign affairs had an idea that Mr. Blaine would be ready to agree that his predecessor or another party had blundered and that the position of her majesty's representatives had been misrepresented. If Lord Salisbury had such an idea it was very promptly dispelied by Mr. Biuine’s vigorous de- fense of Mr. Phelps and the declaration that in him the United States put ite trust. This has received a great deal of favorable comment botb parties, who admire the broad views and manly course of the Secretary of State, That Lord Salisbury should have at- tempted to play upon party feeling is severely criticised, The contrast between this subtle attempt om Lord Salisbury’s part and the gen- erous and manly position of Mr. Blaine is re- garded as most honorable to the latter. A DEMOCRATIC VIEW. A prominent democrat said to a Sram re- porter on this point: “A less able man than Mr. Blaine might have seen in this situation an opportunity to put bis predecessor in an unfavorable light be- fore the country und to claim all the credit in the controversy for himself. But he gives Mr. Pheips full credit and sustains bim in a way that must be pleasing to every patriotic Amer- ican. Mr. Blaine does himeelf and the country great credit for this, and carries away the honors of the contest, A settlement was almost concluded when he took hold of the question, and it has now been thrown back to where it was when the negotiations first opened. But Mr. Blaine has done this: He has stated the to constantly increasing rates, the in the close neighbor- le asserted that every bona fide effort to reduce taxes had been de- THE RESULT OF TRE PENDING BILL might be to reduce revenue to a certain ex- tent, but not to reduce taxes. A reduction of ‘taxes was one thing and a reduction of revenue another and quite a different thing. What the people desired was a common-sense reduction je and a corresponding relief from But the taking off of 2 cents a pound on sugar with one hand and the payment of 2 pound to a sugar producer on the other jas, indeed, a reduction of revenue with both hands, butthe taxes remained and the of the revenu per cent of the foreign exports of the country, and that export might be doubled and quadrupled the tariff were only arranged so that other nations could send in their products to pay for American products.

THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. Cannon (iL), from the committee on ap- tions, reported the sundry civil appro- priation bill with Senate amendments, with certain recommendations relating thereto. Ona point of order raised by Mr. Breckin- ridge (Ky.) the bill was sent to the committee © whole and Mr. Cannon moved that the House go into such committee for its consider- ls the sergeant-at- arms was directed to request the attendance of absent Senators, In about ten minutes the This motion was antagonized by the demo- crats in the interest of the priva' but prevailed—yeas 104, nays 81. Mr. Enloe (Tenn.), having changed his vote for that purpose, moved @ reconsideration. The motion to reconsider was tabled, and the House accordingly went into committee (Mr. Burrows of Michigan in the chair). On demand of Mr. Rogers (Ark.) the Senate amendments were read in exteniso, THE PENNSYLVANIA CAMPAIGN, Views of an Independent Politician— Senators Quay and Cameron.

SOUTH CAROLINA'S CAMPAIGN. A British Admiral Called to Ac- count in Newfoundland, THE CLOAKMAKER'S STRIKE IS ENDED. — HOT TIMES IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Democrats Who Declare They Will Vote for Anybody But Tiliman, Special Dixpatch to Tur Evuxrwo Stam. Corvania, 8.C., July 25.—It seems that poli- tics in this state has now reached its highest pitch of bitterness and that the simple crook of ® finger would now result in bloodshed, and indeed it will appear as @ special act of providence if another week passes without some fearful riot being recorded, The anti-Tillmanites see defeat staring them in the face, and the medicine is juste «ood doal more than they have bargained for or propose to swallow gracefully, to say the least of it. It is also now feared that a split in the party will result in the event that Tillman is nom- inated for governor. A gentleman well posted on affairs throughout the state tells that there are thousands of democrats in the state who will vote for the most objectionable republican before they will cast their ballots for Tilman, Great interest is centerinc on the meeting at Manning tomorrow and something sensational is expected ——— SIR BALDWIN SUED. An Incident of the Newfoundland Fish- ery Question. Sr. Jonx's, N.F., July 25.—Sir Baldwin Walker, the commander of the British man-of- war Emerald, who closed Baird's lobster can- nery at Fischel’s Brook, on the French shore, confiscated the machinery and stock and placed a body of armed marines in charge, was served yesterday on board his ship with a writ re- turnable August 2, atthe suit of James Baird, who claims damages to the amount of €5,000. If Sir Baldwin pays uo attention to the writ ements will be made for bis arrest tor contempt at any Newfoundiand port he may enter, Bosrox, July 25.—A Halifax special quotes Newfoundland advices as showing that the feeling of the people there is so bitter against the British government for the abandonment of the rights of the colony that it had become @ question as to how Prince George, whose coming visit had been announced, would be received. This feeling has suggested pru- dence to the government, which bas now an- nounced that the prince will not come to St John's. IT WONT DC S ROGER Q., Speaking of the Proposed Boycott Against the North. Darras, Tex., July Congressman Roger representative of Tae Stak today touching the situation in Penusylvania: the leaders of both parties are confident as to the result, has heard nothing that gives him uneasi- contention and claim of clearly and strongly—more clearly than it has ever before been put. He has worsted Lord Salisbury in the argument at every point, has put her majesty’s government on the defensive and has made our claim the only fair basis for a settlement.” MODIFICATION OF THE ORDERS TO REVENUE CUT- this government “I observe that to win, and Chairman Kerr does not doubt from what he has heard that Pattison will be the next governor of the state. Politics, You must stand up for your man after the fight opens or else drop out of it. Confidence of the cheeriest descriptions and roclaimed must characterize the men in charge of political cam- p@igus. But if one not exactly in the partisan service, nor caring to be in, should desire to et atthe real situation, he must always sub- ject such utterances to a careful examination. TRE CONFIDENCE OF THE DEMOCRATS. “Now the confidence of the democrats in pushing Pattison is that he isaclean man of good capacity, who, while in the office of gov- ernor several years ago, served the people They rely, however, chiefly on the fac- tional Sighting in the ranks of their opponents, which is expected by them to take on most uncompro- ccess in 1882 was achieved unggr circumstances somewhat simi- lar to those now existing, though not exactly In that year, as now, there was a ro- Publican protest against the par and aguinst the ticket nominate test touk the form of an independent republi- which drew away thou- sands of votes from the regular ticket, and by that means brought about Pattison's elec- tion. The democratic hope, therefore, now is in the success of the independent republican movement, which, though munifesting itself in various parts of the state, has not as yet There is much doubt about the matter of the modification of the original orders sent to the officers of the United States cutters in Behring sea, That some modification of the orders was made appears beyond question, but one thing pretty certain is that it was not such as to be a “back down” upon demand of the British Neither Mr. Biaine nor Sir Julian Pauncefote wanted to provoke a collision, and it is believed that the modifying orders were merely precautionary, in no way compromis- ing Mr. Blaine’s position. THE SENATE DOESN'T HURRY. And So the Tariffand Election Bills May Prolong the Sessiun Untii November. The Senate is proceeding with its business witb as much deliberation as if it had no thought of adjournment, dence of baste on any hand, the Senators appear- ing to be content to remain here as long as necessary without impatience or complaint. Senator Cockrell consumed the morning hour today chiefly in reading froma report of the Secretary of the Navy during the Forty-sev- enth Congress so ag to prevent a vote on the bill to transfer the rovenue marine to the navy and the morning hour closing at 1 o'clock the consideration of the tariff was proceeded with. IN & DELIBERATE MANNER. Mr. Aldrich attempted to hasten action by first considering committee amendments only, but there were objections to this on both sides, and the consideration began with the under- all amendments to each para- raph shill be considered and disposed of be- as the canvass mising aspect.
