DISTRICT APPROPRIATION BILL AGREED TO. The conference report on the District of | Columbia appropriation bill was taken up for action. After a brief explanation of some points by Mr. Allison (lowa) the report was agreed to. A conference was ordered on the naval ap- Propriation bill, and Messrs, Hale (Maine), Allison (lowa) and Gorman (Md.) were ap- Pointed conferees on the part of the Senate. THE M'GARRAMAN BILL. Mr. Teiler (Col.) asked unanimous consent to take up for consideration the MeGarrahan bill. } Mr. Morrill (Vt.) objected and said that the bill would certainly take more time than the Senate could now atford to give to any private | claim. Mr. Teller then moved to take up the bill. Mr. Hoar (Mass. ), chairman of the jndiciary committee, from which the Dill was re- ported, aid that although he would have a little preferred another way of disposing of the matter he concusred in the pending Dill. It submitted to the court of private land claims the qaestion of Me- Garrahan’s land title, with a right of appeal to the Supreme Court, the facts to be reported to Congress in case of any further claim for an | appropriation of money. He thought, on the whole, that that wax a reasonable disposition of | the matter and just to the government. ‘The motion to take up the bill was agreed to sveas, 54; nays, 5—(Messrs. Morrill, Palmer, Proctor, Sherman and Stewart). The bili being before the Senate Mr. Morrill n argument against it, declaring that the difference between the pending bill and the tweedle-dum and tweedie-dee. He proposed toof- fer amendments authorizing the government to employ competent counsel and also to pay for witnesses to the amount of $20,000, One ob- jection to the bill was that there had been two oz more stock corporations formed, which had still, perhaps, an interest in the claim. He mentioned the names of half dozen stock- | holdera in one of them, including that of Sen- ator Wilson of Iowa. Mir. Wilson indignantly denied the suggestion that be bad now, or had ever had, any interest, directly or indirectly, in the McGarraban claim." Any one, he said, who asserted that he had. uttered a positive and unqualified talse- hood of the worst character. Mr. Felton (Cai. ) favored the bill, having no | question in his own mind that there were great | equities in the claim, The bill would be simply doing justice to an honest man, Mr, Stewart (Nev.) argued against the bill, Boing extensively into the history of the case. Mr. Palmer (Ill.), reve:ting to Mr. Felton’s remark as to MeGarranan being an honest man, said that in view of the extent of legisla- | the great mass of his fellow-citizens. While Mr. Palwer was still epeaking the pre- ing officer announced the expiration of the morning hour—the MeGarrahan bill losing its Tight of wa: THE NEW YORK BRIDGE BILL. Mr. Hill (N. ¥.), in pursuance of the notice | given last evening, moved to proceed to the! consideration of the New York and New Jersey Hudson river bridge bill, declining to grant Mr. | Teller’s request to forego that motion until the | McGarraban bill should be disposed of.

Mr. Call's proposition was antagonized by tors Gordon (Ga.), Hunton and Daniel (Va.), who argued in favor of retaining the paragraph as it came from the House. ‘Mr. Gorman (Md. ), a member of the commit- tee on appropriations. opposed the House para graph because it attempted to fix by law the line by which the fast mail was to be carried. ‘That was an innovation to be deprecated. The matter should be left to discretion of the Post- master General, Pending the discussion ® conference was ordered on the agricultural appropriation bill, and Senators Allison, Cullom and Call were ap- Pointed conferees on the part of the Senate.
