MANY BILLS PASSED. The Senate Attends to the Busi ness Before It. THE SENATE. After tho routine morning business the Sen- ate took up the calendar, and bills were dis posed of as follows: Appropriating $100,000 for a public building at McKeesport, Pa, Passed, Senate bill to convey to the atate of Kansas a Portion of the Fort Hayes military reservation, Sbout 3,200 acres,tor home for old soldiore and their families and to open the rest of the ree- ervation to homestead scttlement, To GIVE IT ALL TO SOLDIERS, Mr. Allizon moved to strike out the section opening the lands to homestead settlers, and argued that that section would be for the ben- efit of a few peopie residing within ten miles of the reservation, the lands being very vala- able. He preferred giving the whole reserva- tion to the state of Kansas for homes for old soldiers, After much discussion Mr. Allison's motion was agreed to and tne bill was passed, THE HOUSE. After the approval of the journal and the reference of a number of Senate bills Mr. Geary (Cal.) presented the conference report on the Chinese exclusion bill Mr. Geary demanded the previons question on the adoption of the report and notwithstanding the protest of Mr. Hooker (Miss,) it was ordered. ‘Mr. Hitt (1 }opposed the report, The Sen- ate bili tohim would be, if it were an original proposition, an objectionable thing; but he recognized tho urgent necessity ef prompt leg- islation; and in deference to the wishes of the Pacitic coast he would not have an! i it, The conference bill was better than the House bill, which had openty, defiantly and in- sultingly violated national faith. But the cer- tificate provision now added was abominable. Never before in 8 free country had there been enacted such a system of ring a man as if he were adog, first compelling him to go and prove hisright to contmue to live where be had lived for yest, Never before had such law been applied to » human being, except convicts and slaves, He (Mr. Hitt) would vote to continue every existing Jaw, but speaking tor the honor of his country he appealed to gentlemen to observe the plighted faith of the natien, which had al- ready been pressed hard upon and which pledged to these men the treatment of citizens of the most favored nation. This wasa moas- ure violation of that pledge which no man could vote for without s blush, Mr, Hooker in opposing the as said that in its present shape the bill virtually suspended the writ of habeas corpus, and against this he earnestly protested. Mr. Geary denied that the bill suspended the writ of habeas corpus, The measure was in- tended to stop up leaks in existing law. The conference report was then agreed to— yeas, 185; nays, 28, The following is the negative vote: Messrs. Andrew, Beeman, Belknap, Beltzhoover, Bro- sius, Bushnell. Castle, Coburn, Coolidge, Cox (N. ¥.), Craig, Culberson, Curtis English, Epes, dy, Griswold, Grout, Harter, Hauger, Hemphill, Herbert, Hitt, Hoar, Hooker (fiss.), Miller, Powers and Stover. Mr. Snodgrass (Tenn.), rising toa question of privilege, submitted the following preamble and resolution: Whereas a bill entitled “‘A bill to encourage American ship building” was passed by thir Houso on May 2 under susponsion of the rales without proper explanation and under a mis- apprehension as to its provisions and while the House was led to believe thatthe ships men- tioned in said bill did not come wit! the provisions of the act approved March 3, 1891, granting subsidies to American ships; and Whereas on examination said bill givos these ships all the rights and privileges of vessels of the United Statesso far as subsidiesare con- cerned; Resolved, That the Senate be requested to return said bill to tho House for reconsiders- ion, The Speaker said that he would hear the gentleman on the question os to whether the resolution was a privileged one. MR. SNODGRASS’ INTIMATION, In speaking of thie question Mr. Snodgrass intimated that the House had been imposed upon, which intimation called forth an earnest protest from Mr. Cockrau cf New York. The gentleman was not in order when he said that any member had imposed upon his fellow members, Mr, Sn said that gentleman need not be distur! Nothing he had said could be construed as reflecting upon any member. Mr. Cockran—The gentlomen is mistaken if ho thinks that anything he could say would dis- turb me. Lam speaking for the dignity of the louse. Ac. Snodgrass suid thet the House could take care of own dignity, and, con! uing,argued that if the Honse bed known the purpose and import of the bill it Dot have. been d, It had been under a misappre- ension and the House could do no wrong without having the right to correct it. The epeaker did not think that the resolution could have any privilege, It merely contained an all tion it the bill shor not have passed becauso the House did not: ‘The resolution was not received, ABOUT THE SUGAR TRUST.

Representative Jerry Simpsom ie delighted today with news from the mecting of alliance Presidents at Birmingham, “I am somewhat surprised,” said he, “that they all agreed to Support our third party ticket.” “Dida’t you expect that?” | “No. They were exclusively from southern | States where there bas been s tremendous ef- | fort all aloug to prevent alliance men leaving | the demooracy. But I see they all favored sup- | Porting the alliance ticket.” “What will be the result?” “The result will be that the democrats will love nearly every southern state and the ai- Itavce will carry nearly all of them.” “What will be the effect on the presidential election do you think?” Tt will be almost certain to throw the elec- tlen into the House, if it does not result in the election of an alliance president.” DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, THE BRIGHTWOOD RAILROAD CHARTER. The House District committee at its session today cousidored the proposed ebarter for the Brightwood, Petworth and Tacoma rail- road.
