The river and harbor bill was takes
up and Mr. Miller addressed the Senate
in support of the Hennepin canal appro
priation amendment. The debate on
this amendment was long and character
ized by sharp interchanges between
Messrs. Miller and Ingalls and Messrs.
Logan and Ingalls. Piatt, Teller, Pal
mer, Chaee and others took part in the
debate. Messrs. Miller, Chace, Logan
and Palmer were the chief advocates of
the amendment.
Mr Piatt preferred that the eovern-
ment should try the experiment of build
ing and' operating a railroad. over the
proposed otnal route.
Mr. Ingalls opposed the expenditure
of the publib money for the creation of
a water-way where none had existed
and favored the improvement of the
great harbors on the oceans and
the great natural water-ways. He
said i the reason for the opposition
by the press (which had been referred to
by Mr. Chace) was that these river and
harbor bills had come to be regarded as
illustrations of the most rapacious
venality. In this bill there were appro
priations to the amount of five millivni
which could be oharaoterizod by no
other term except that of "boodle;" five
millions that would be filched from the
treasury for the purpose of making men

That, he said, could not be a coincidence.
Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Logan spoke in

sed here tonight in political circles.
The entire executive session of the
Senate tod ay was consumed in the con
sideration oi in is case. Senators Hoar
and Mahonet made the most conspicuous
speeches in opposition to Mr. Goode's
confirmation, and Senators i'lumb and
Riddleberger were tho only republicans
who spoko and voted in favor or him.

that, he and benator Aluhonc were mem
bers of the democratic party at the time
the alleged election frauds were com
mitted by Mr. Goode, and, therefore,
they were partioeps criminis.. He de
nied, however, that there was any
foundation for the charge that Mr.

distribution of the tissue ballots. When
the roll was sailed it was found that the
nomination was rejected by three ma

Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, has
lioed -himself in an awkward position
by giving publication to a statement

mittee on pensions on one of the vetoed I
pension bills. Ihe alleged report con
tains many severe and unwarranted
strictures upon the President, and the
members of tho pension committee are
somewhat indignant at Mr. Blair's con
duct. It is said that the view 9 submit-
ted by Mr. Blair have never received
the sanotion or the approval of a major
ity of the pension committee, and the
alleged report is simply his individual
attempt to seek notoriety. Republican
Senators state that Mr. Blair was not
authorized to prepare such a report,
and his action was entirely spontaneous.

Washington, D. C, July 10. The
cotton returns to the department of ag
riculture for July 1st represent the
crops ten to fifteen days late. The low
grounds are saturated with the exces
sive rains of June, the general preva-
ler ce of the aphis in such situations and
the smothering growth of the grass and
weeds- Drier uplands show" a vigorous
plant growth and in full-handed planta
tions a clean cultivation. This descrip
tion will apply to all States except
Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee. There
has been improvement during June in
these States and retrograde in all others.
There will be a small area abandoned
from inability to cultivate it and
some injury to the plants will
result in the process of cleaning. The
reduction in the condition is mainly
in North and South Carolina, Alsbaraa
and Mississippi. Georgia was reported
low in June. Abe general average of
the condition is 86. It was 88 on the
first of June last year ; it was 96 in
July ; a gain of four points during
Juno. Favorable weather in July, with
a prompt destruction of weeds, may ad
vance the condition, but further rains
or long continued drought would work
serious injury to tne crop, vv niie a
fair product may yet be possible east of
tho Mississippi, the condition of that
portion of the crop may be considered
somewhat critical. The averages by
States aro as follows : Virginia, 92 ;
North Carolina, -91 ; South Carolina,
76; Georgia, 81; Alabama, 80;
Mississippi, 79 ; Louis an, X I ;
Ifxas, 97 ; Arkansas, -9J : ien-
O'Esee, yo. xne acreage or corn Las
y ry slightly declined in thu Middle
States and in Maryland, Yuyiuia, and
South Caio'ina, with some increase in
other States of the South, which i.s larg
est west of the Mississippi. In the Ohio
Valley the acreage is nearly the earn ; as
in 1885. Weatof the Mississippi the in
crease is heavy. Ia Kansas 20 per cent;
Nebraska, 10; Dakota, 30. The tout
increase is per cent., or about two
and a half million acres. Corn ia late
on the Atlantic Coast from wet weather
cool nights and slow germination. In
many situations the seed rotted, and re
planting beoame necessary. Instances
are reported of planting three times, yet
there is generally a fair stand, and the
crop is growing and healthy, and with
seasonable July weather will make a
full yield. It has suffered quite as much
on the Gull Coast, where wet areas are
still more unpromising. Red lands gen
erally bear vigorous growths, while in
gray soils and bottoms, plants are yel
lowing and spindling. Some of the areas
have already been abandoned. Some
parts of Texas have been dry, but abun
dant recent rams will suihoe for good
oropsinthe eastern and central countries.
Arkansas shows a high condition, but
Tennessee reports injury from low
temperature and excessive rain. The
great corn belt of the west reports
medium to high condition, growing
better from Ohio to Kansas. The
Missouri valley averages better than the
Ohio river and lake region: There is
a full stand in the Missouri regions
and even growth, and ten days earlier
than lasi year. Kansas returns are
