FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS, HOUSK, Wasnivaron, D. €., March 19.—Mr. Curtin (dem., Pa.), chairman commiltee on foreign aflairs, reported as a privileged question the following reso- lutions: The resolutions adopted by the house on the 9th of January, were intended to express to the German government and people sympathy for the deathof an eminent man, who had died in this coun- try, who had served his native land as a moimber of its highest legislative tody, as a tribute of respect to his memory. ‘While your committee is of the opinion that said resolutions should have been received and transmitted, in the same apiritof cordialty and good will by which they were prompted, it refrains from ex- pressing an opinion as to whether the course pursued by the authorities of the Gorman empire, in regard to them was or was not in accordance with the proprieties governing the inter- nal regulations of said empire, as 4 mat- ter not within its province of cousidera- tion. The dignified position med by the department of state merits and will command the confidence of the country, fully sustaining the high character that department has sustsined since the or- ganization of the federal goverument. As to the resolutious offered on the 10th of March, your committes is of opinion they contain language that is, un- der the present circumstances, super- fluous ana irrelevant, and not negessary or proper to vindicate the character or dignity of this house, Your committee therefore reports back said resolutions, with the recommendation that they lie upon the table, and reports the following resolutioos, with the recommendation that thoy be adopted as a substitute therefor: Resolved, That the resolutions refer- ring to the doath of Dr, Edward Lasker, adopted by this house January 9th last, were intended as a tribute of respect to the memory of an eminent statesman who had died with us and an expression of sympathy with the German people for whom he had been an honorable repre- sentative. Resolved, That the house, having no official concern with the relations be- tween the exzcutiva und legislative branches of the German government, does not deem it requisite to its dignity to criticise the manner of the reception of the resolutions or the circumstances which prevented their reaching their destination after they had been com- municated through the proper channels to the German government. Curtin immediately demanded the previous qudstion, y Mr, heagan (dem. Tox) hoped the revious question would not be ordered. ‘Phe house had made apologies enough for having been insulted, Mr. Cox (dem. N, Y.) moved to lay the whole matter on the table, That was the way to treat the Go cellor, The motion was lost The provivus question having dered, Mr. Ochiltree (ind. Tex.) rose to dobate the resolutions, He yiclded to no gentleman iu his esteem for and confi- dence in the distinguished mewmbers of the foreign afiairs comumittee. Ordinarily he was disposed to relyon their judy ment, but this affair had gone beyoud the domain of red tape and circumlocu- tion, It had assumed a phase which called on each aud every reprosentative to look to it that his individual honor and dignity were preserved and in doing 80 to defend the dignity of the people. 1t was not becoming the dignity of this body to enter into aun explanation of the meaning of the original resolutions. Mr. Ochiltree then delivered a eulogy on the high abilities and noble character of Lasker, and said the cowplimert to of the Re 1 | Lasker was a rebuko to his opposite, | (Bigmarck), who he proceeded to charac- | terizo as o flattering and wycomphantic instrament of dos | Mr. Phelps (rep., lained | that the resolutions of January Oth were | hurriedly passed just as the house wa about to adjourn, without the members realizing fully their tenor. When the information came that Dismarck refused to accopt them, the mombers hunted up the record and found they had passed a resclution of sympathy at the death of Lasker, which~ was all right, and had expressod a belief that his liberal sentiments had advanced the material and socinl interests of Germany which was also true. Congress had aright to send the first opinion everywhere, but it had no right to send the second opinion to a friendly power which entertained an opposite opinion. The house could reseut the fact that its friendly senti- ments had beenrejected, but it could not resent the fact that its political senti- wments had been rejected, because it no business putting them on the same P*Pho resolutions were adopted without division; though an unuccessful attempt | to hwve the yeas andnays Phe Lasker resolutions reported by the | afiairs were adopted oub division e house alsoadopted | cordially reciprocating the of the Liberal union of the G man par closer union of the two nations, on of its gr: ful appreciation, and its sympathy with those who mourn the death of Edward Lasker, and accepting the resolutions adopted by the Liberal union, and direct- ing them to be spread on the journal. Before passage, the resolutions were discussed at length, Mr. Phelps explain- | ing, on behalf of the committee, that the only two troublesome points in the mat- ter had been solved; first, by the apolo, and explation of Bismark in the reichs- tag; sccond, by the tact of the state de- partment, which adroitly avoided receiv- i ho resolutions when returne: he following commttee reports were recerved: mumittee on fore wishe! | the whisky bill begun Mr. Blackburu (dem , Ky.) moved to @0 into commuttee of the whole on the revenue bills. Mr. Randall (dem., Pa.) demanded the yeas and nays. Tho motion was agreed to—yeas 130, nays 121, and the house went into committee with Mr, Dor- sheimer (den., Pa.) in the chaic. b The first bill was the bonded extension ill. Mr. Hiscock (rep., N Y.) abjected to its consideration. 1lis objection was re- ported to the house and was overruled by a vote of 157 to 118, The committee resumed session, Mr. Morrison (dem., I1L.) taking the floor in support of the bill. Before he had linished a sentence, however, Mr. White Ky.) rose, saying he had moved mmittee rise for the purpose of matter before the n from IHlinois (Morrison), o's taking an appoal, refused iv on the ground that the ap- s not in order.

The chair ruled that it was not a point ofo rder. White: I say I am entitled to be heard on a question privilego. The gentleman from New York (Dorsheimer) has decid- ed that I am not in order; he must take ibility. You smay bulldozs gh but—(the remainder of the sentence was drowned in crica of “Order!”) Mr, Morrison then made a statement as to the purpose and object of the bill, If this business of converting grain into alcohol existed only to be taxed, then the beneficiaries of hie bill were entitled to no consideration here. Regarding it 8 a legitimate branch of manufacturing industry, it was entitled to be placed on equal basis with all other industries, From this industry the gov- ernment derived more than one-fiith of all its revonue, In the next few months there would be forced out of the ware- houses 25,000,000 gallons which must pay tax, and 1. the next few years 70,000,000 gallons, for much of which there would beno market, The commissioner of in- ternal revenue has estimated that the surplus for which thera would be no market would amount in the uext two years to 45,000,000 gallons, In the years when this whisky was made every- thing was overdone; oxcessive produc- tion was not alone in this industry., Sup- pose this surplus way purely the result of the speculative spirit of our people, was that a good and satisfactory rewson why an industry of this magnitude ehould bo enforeed to pay taxes when the govern- ment had nothing to makeby this enforce- mentd Morrison denied that he was dvocating class legislation, sssertin that thie bill was to undo, as faras it went, special legislation against this in- dustry. 1f this bill was passed it would not cost the government one single cent, and it would not add to the burden of & single person of our fifty-fi nllion peo ple w the extent of the hundredth part of a farthin Mer. Willis (dem., Ky.) said the psople of Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio and halfa dozen other states were deesly and vi tally interested in the i dinto passage of this bill, but its friends did not wish to push it through by any raileoad scheme. If there was anything wrong in 1t, they wanted it to come out. He therefore yielded to Blackburn, who, with the expressed_hope that the consid eration of the bill would be concluded to- morrow, moved that the committee rise, Within pledy that | OMAHA. The motion was agreed to, aud the house then adjourned. SENATE, Mr. Harrison (rep., Ind.) from the committee on Indian affairs, reported it inexpedient to establish a military academy weat of the Mississippi for training Indian youths as soldiers Mr. Miller (rep , Cal.) from the com- mitteo on foreign relations, in compli- ance with the resolution instructing the committee to inquire and report what legislation, if any, is necessary to pro- tect the interests of the United States against those governments which have excluded or restrained the importation of American meats, reported the original bill providing tor the inspection of meata for exportation, prohibiting the importa- tion of adulterated articles of food and drink, and authorizing the president to make proclamation i certain cases, and for other purposes. Placed on the calan der. Mr, Vanco (dem., N, C.) presented the views of the minority of the com- mittee, Mr. Hoar (rop.. Mass.) called up the bill introduccd by him, and reported fay orably from the committee on the judici- ¥, fixing the salary of Uunited States strict judges at £5,000, A long debate followed, — Mewsrs, Sanlsbury (dem, Del ) Williams (dem., Ks,) and Pugh (vep., Inl.,) opposed, and Meass Ingalla (re Ks.,) savard (dom, Dal ) Harri- son (rop., Tud.,) and Hoar advocated the bill. The matter wont over until to WoATrowW. The chair laid before the senato as un- finished business the bill to aid in the es- tablishment and support of common schools, Mr, Sherman said of the $15,000,000 appropriated, 11,000,000 would go to the south, and out of the control of the national government, He was unwilling to vote any large amount of money into the hands of those who he feared did not act justly m the education of the people for whom the money was intended.

Mr, Saulsbury (dem., N, J.) opposed the bill. Mr. Ingalls moved to amend by speci- fying the school age to be from b to 15 ears, M. Blair (rev., N. H.) remarked that if the senator had ever been in a colored school he would see how seriously such a provision would effect the value of the bill. Mr. Logan (rep., TIL), though fivoring comprehensive educational measures, thought it unfair to appropriate money on the basis of illiteracy, because a lare number of the illiterates would be un- able in any event to take advantage of the aid offered by the bill. He stated that the bill introduced by himself was based on the whole number of children in the United States. By the bill before the senate the colored people in the south over 40 years of age would be made the basis of the call for money while receiving nothing from it. Mr. B had the tloor and was meet.- ing the objections raised to the bill, when Mr. Harris (dem, Tenn.) uired her he would give way for a motion 31 » adjourn, Mr. Blair replied that he would do so on ones condition, that before opening the bate to-morrow the senators would ad his spocch of yesterday, as he hought it covered all the points of the objections raised to the bill. Blair's apecch having o soveral hours delivery, this suggestion was greeted with a hearty laugh, in which Blair good naturedly joined. A fow amoendments to the details were made in the bill and the senate adjourned.
