MR. CANNON INVEIGHS AGAINST THE MIKONITY. ‘Mr. Cannon inveighed agninst. the action of the minority in obstructing the passage of the appropriation bills, declaring that if that ac- tion resulted in an extra session the minority would be responsible for it. Mr. Crisp suid that it seemed possible for the other sidv,despite any apprehension of an extra session, to obtain as much time as it wanted for the specific measures it desired to pasp outeide the appropriation bills. When the minority offered resistance to this couree the gentleman said that it would bo re- sponsible for an extra’ session. majority asked for unanimous consont for the passage of the appropriation bills in. order that it might call up measures which the minority would resist to the uttermost. The niajority had found time to give two duys toa bill granting inrgesses out of the treayury to special favor- ites. It had still some measures of the same sort and it wiehed to “get rid of the appropria- tion bilis in order to call them up. He would doprecute an extva session as much es ail¥ man; but if the other side asked unani- mous consent to do what ought to bo done in order that it might then do wit ought not to done Le would object; and when the extra ‘seomon cums the majority would be respon- sible for it. i | WHAT DOES HE MEAN? Mr. Cannon inquired what specific measure the gentleman was alluding to, and in the long colluquy which followed frequently endeavored to have Mr. Crisp name the particular bill, but that gentleinan avoided the question and sim- ply generally attacked the mejority and said that’ Mr. Cannon came now as a suppliant to the minority for unanimous consent. He added: “You ask us for unanimous con- sent to violate the rules. Youare the gentle- man who is the supplant for favor. (Demo- cratic applause. ; Mr. Cannou—I am a supplient for nothing except the grace ot God. (Laughter. ‘The Speaker—Ihe House will please comfine itself to business.

Mr. Cannon responded that it was necessary. Nevor before in his experience had there been such obstruction to the passage of appropria- Dills as had been placed there by the minority of this House. He accepted-thin public notification and for himself would say that it the rules could not be suspended and the ordinary couree pursued the majority would lay the appropriation bills aside and proceed under the rules to dispose of the [business which it belioved ought to be jone. ‘the motion to suspend the rules was re- ted on a standing vote by 128 to 112, and immediately Mr. Howell was on his feet, ready to call up a contested election case, but the democrats demanded the yeasand nays. ‘The motion was defeated—yeas, 145; nays, 120. ‘The Speaker appéinted Messrs.

The committee of arrangements for the emancipetion celebration appointed by the president of the convention recently held at the Washington Cadets’ Armor y met last evening in the office of the Bee, Chas. H. Watson, chairman, presiding, and W. H. Jones as secre- tary. The full committee was present, num- Dering about twenty-five members. Mr. W. Calvin Chase, president of the day for the cel- ebration, submitted a preamble and reso- Jutions setting forth that “it is the custom of the citizens of the District of Columbia to celebrate the anniversary of their freedom with a street parade, has tended to be more detrimental than bene- ficial to them, and as theke parades ure paid for principally by our white fellow citizens, to the disapproval of our people, who are op) to street parades, whereas, irresponsible persons issue for subscriptions and the holder of these books @mburrass the colored people by calling on the heads of the ents, Repre- tentatives, Senators and —otlwr Ofticials, stating that the money is to defray the expenses of the celebration, whon in fact the committee is entirely ignorant of what is collected and unaware who the holders of the books are, thus placing the people, who appre- ¢iate their freedom, in an enviable’ and humili- ating position. The committee on arrange- tents is of the opinién that the twenty- winth anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in the District of Columbia cen be cele- brated ina manner that will redound to the benefit of and give more satisfaction to the x higher conception of their freedom and ciyil- ization. The expenses incurred to carry ona snecessful parade will amount to more than what our peo will or are able toexpend. We havg- institutions that are in need of all the money that is collected to con- duet a parade, namely, the home for our friendless girls and indigent colored women and children. This committee should condemn fhe past methods of irresponsible persons and show to the civilized world that this enlight- ened race at the eapital of the nation are capable by receiving the ‘polished arts which humanize mankind, softens the ruse and. calms the bois- terous. waiod a is glin Co Wiprenee La ent of the le that their Hirect' pasate be abaibed mt the throughont the trict of Columbia and the day be cele- ted in a more congenial manner.” ‘There- fore it was resolved“ ‘a atreet parade on Thursday, April 16, 1891, the. 20th anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in the District of Columbia iv hereby. abolished and we recommend all street paradcs hereafter be discontinued.

The U. 8. Electric Company Cannot Now Ex- tend Their Underground Conduits, The Commissioners decided yeaterday after- noon to withhold the permit applied for by the United States Electric Company to lay exten- sions to their underground system of conduits, aggregating a length of nearly seven miles. ‘The Commissioners refused the permit for the present upon the recommendation of Capt. Lusk, who says in his indorsement upon the papers, that i the District eppropriation act for 1892 provides for electric lighting to the same extent as the Senate bill it will be neces- sary to grant permission to lay a conduit on 7th street from B street north to Water street and on Water street from 7th street to P street south, and also along Pennsylvania avenue southeast from 8th street to 11th strect. Capt. Lusk says that under existing law the authority of the Commissioners to grant per- talte of iis class, expires with the Fitty-tirst Congress. What action Congress may take in the matter is not apparent, but from the at tude of the House of Representatives, shown by the District bill as it passed that body, it would seem that the proper course Commimioners is to await the result of the nding conference upon the subjects of elec- Bic lighting and electtical. wires. “If that re-| sult should appear to favor the extension asked for, the neceseary permits can be speedily granted within the period allowed by law for e purpose. ‘The location of these future conduits in the streets isan important matter, and, owing to the value of the sidewalks to the District and to property owners for the location of sewer water mains, he recommends that all future conduits and similar constructions be confined to the carriageways. If the Commissioners de- cide to grant the permite asked for, or any part of them, he recommends that the papers be returned to his office in order’ that, the permit aay be prepared. A small map showing the lines asked for is inclosed. pane DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, POLICE CHANGES. ‘The following promotions and appointments on the police force were made today consequent upon the removal of Sorgeant Trunnell and Privates C.
