The amendment was agreed to and tho bill passed. Also ktlic Senate bills for nublio buildings at Oxford, Miss., and Charlotte, N. C. Calendar 1 Mr. Miller asked leave to call up the bill to amend an act prohibiting the im portation of contract labor. Objected to by Mr. Edmunds, on tho ground that the bill proposed to give the execution of the law to State officials. Mr. Coke offered a resolution dis charging the committee on finance from further consideration of the House joint resolution for the payment pf the .sur plus in the treasury on the pnblio debt. He gave notice that he would call it up Monday and ask a vote upon it. A resolution offered yesterday bv Mr. I Edmunds, instructing the committee on iorcign relations to inquire into the violation of the rights of American fish ing and merchant vessels in Canadian waters, was taken up and adopted. Mr. Hawley reported from the com mittee on printing a resolution for the collection and printing of Presidential vetoes from the organization of Congress to the present time, arranged, in chro nological order. This was adopted. The Senate at 11.45 resumed the considera tion of the sundry civil anbronriation bill. i : Going back to a paragraph on page 19, requiring the secretary of ihe treas ury to issue silver certificate of $1, $2 and $5 "on all surplus silver dollars now in the treasury, in payment of ap propriations made in this bill and other expenditures or obligations of the gov ernment," which certificates ''shall be redeemable m standard silver dollars on demand and when paid into the 'treas ury shall be re-issued, subject to the provisions herein, for redemption cf the Bame," the committee on appropriations recommends the striking ont of the clauses within the quotation marks and to add the following : "Provided that the said denominations of Rl. 22 and $5 may be issued in lieu ol silver dfer- uficates of larger denominations in the treasury, and to that extent the said cer tificates of larger denominations shall be cancelled and destroyed." ji Mr. Beck ottered as a substitute for the paragraph the amendment of which he gvae notice some time ago and addressed the Senate in explana tion and advocacy of the amendment. At the close Mr. Beck's sneeeh a nnint of order was made bv Mir. Allien gainst the amandment, that it was. gen eral legislation, and the point was sus tained by the chair, thus excluding the amendment. An amendment recom mended by the committee, striking out tne woras "on all surplus silver dol- ars," eto., was agreed to without division. An amendment striking out the words "and shall be redeemable in standard silver dollars," eto.. was greed to; yeas 25. nays 24. as. follows: Yeas, Messrs. Aldrich, Allison. Butler.

Walthall, Whitthorne, and Wilson, of Maryland 25. An amendment adding the words 'providing that the said denominations" etc., was agreed to without a division. The clause as it nOw stands reads as follows: "And the secretary of the treasury is hereby authorized and re quired to issue silver certificates in de nominations of $1, $2 and $5. and the silver certibcatcs herein authorized shall be receivable, redeemable and. payable in like manner - for like (purposes as is provided for silver certificates by the act of i?ebruary 28, 1878, enti tled "an act to authorize the coinage of the standard silver dollar and to res tore its legal tender character; provided that said denominations of $1, $2 and g5 may be issued in lieu of (he silver certificates of larger denominations in the treasury and to that extent the said certificates of larger denominations shall be cancelled and destroyed." Mr. Beck gave notice that when the bill was reported back to the Senate he would demand votes on these amend ments. On motion of Mr Dawes an item ap propriating $25,000 for the education of children of scnooi age m Aiasxa, without regard to raoe, was inserted, On motion of Mr, Hoar an item appro Lariating $7,500 for the purchase Of W.

Halsall's painting of "The First Fight of the Ironclads" was inserted Mr. Blair moved to add to a clause appropriating $56,500 for the expenses of inauguration of the Bartholdi statue the following proviso: "Provided, how ever, that no part of the sum herein ap- nriated shall be used to procure or pay for spirituous liquors, or tobaooo, or stimulants or narcotics, in any iorm; neither shall any charge or expenditure for the same be paid by the United States." Mr. Allison assured the Sen ator from New Ilampxhiro t!.t iVrc was not tho slightest probability f n-v such thing being done. Ho hopl the Senate would not pass Iiim am tbn',ijt. Mr. Blair assured the, S uat' r frr-in Iowa that if he did not think it t.tcesa ry he would not have offered it Mr. Allison said there was nothing in ;he appropriation except a sWll sn n to .. . ! . entertain guests, xur unon tuuji a point of order that the amendment was not in order, but the point was overruled by tho chair (Mr. Sherman) on the ground that the Sen ato had power to limit the uao of an p- propriation. Mr. Blair said he had de sired the amendment to be adopted withdut remark.' Ho hud not antici pated opposition, but as to thero boiug no danger of money being used in that way, he had only to refer to the recent celebration at Yorktown, where between $7,000 and $8,000 was epent out of the public treasury for the nations of the earth to get drunk upon. Mr. Gor man moved to lay the amendment on the table. A vote taken uj yeas and nays resulted yeas Zi , nays zs, so the amendment was not laid on the tattle, and it was agreed to without a division On motion of Mr. Random an item of $20,000 was inserted for establishing a light at Harbor island bar, between Pamlico and Core sounds, N C. The Senate at 6 p. m. took x recess till 8 o'clock, with tho purpose of fiaitihiLg the bill tonight. s The Senate resumed the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill and all amendments were adopted as in oommittee of the whole. The amendments reserved were those in reference to the issue of "silver certificates. Mr. Beck demanded the yeas and nays on an amendment to strike out the words "on all surplus silver dollars now in the treasury in payment of appropriations made in this bill and other expenditures or obligations of the government. " Mr. Sherman appealed to Mr. Beek not to attempt to force such legislation on the bill at this stage of the session. He believed it to be a breach of public faith and contrary to the pledged faith of the nation. The dis cussion of it at this time seemed to be a mockery of legislation. Its passage would alarm public credit and do much to bring about a condition of affairs which everybody would regret, in which gold would disappear from circulation and be either hoarded or exported, lbe egislation proposed a revolution in the currency which would endanger tho whole foundation of the financial system of the country. He said it had no plaee in the : bill, being a change of the existing law, and not being reported by the committee on ap propriations or the committee on finance. He trusted that the : gentleman from Kentucky would have a reasonable deference for the opinion cf others, who had studied the question as much as he (Mr. Beck) hau. It seemed to him an unpardonable piece of legislation at this time. Mr. Beck replied to Mr. Sherman,- stating that the proposition had come from the House of Representa tives and was in the bill. It bad been distributed among the Senators for a month and had been beforo tho oommittee on finance at the euce. - tion of the Senator from Ohio bimatrlf, and then was not acted upon. He declared that the silver coinage of the country had never had a more inveterate enemy than the Senator from Ohio. Mr. Sher man denied that aocusation and claimed to be a better friend to silver than the Senator from Kentucky- Mr. Allison said the House provision was a crude and undigested provision which had been put in the bill for the single purpose only, and that was to coerce an unwilling President or administration. After considerable dircuision and votes on a variety of amendments, th Jiaragraph as to silver certificates was eft in the shape in which k was fixed this afternoon by the Senato as in com mittee of the whole. The bill was passed and the defiercy bill was taken up and the first readitg was dispensed with. The Senato at 10.39 adjourned. HOUSE Immediately after the reading of the journal the house went into committee of the whole (Mr. Crisp in the chair,) on the bill for an increase of tho navy. After speeches by Messrs. Herbert. Boutelle and others, the original bill was read by sections, for amendments, Mr. Ballentme moved an amendment appropriating $1,300,000 for the con struction of a cruiser of between 2,500 and 3,500' tons displacement, with a speed of not less than twenty Knots, up on plans designs and ppecifications fur nished by Charles D. Lundberg, of New York. This was adopted; 37 to 36. (This amendment is intended as a substitute for for a clause providing lor the construction of throo protected double-bottomed cruiser ) On motion of Mr. B 'ek an amend ment was adopted inserting in the bill a provision oontaincd m tic substitute, ior a aynamiie gun cruiser, iur. rou telle moved to strike out a clause which authorises tho secretary of the navy in certain emergencies to import armor for the new cruisers. Agreed to; 101 to 67. Mr. Brady, 'of Virginia, offered an amendment providing that one of the new vessels shall be built at the Norfolk navy-yard. lie was afraid that unlets such provision were inserted in tho bill the President and the secretary of the navy would discriminate against the Norfolk yard. The amendment was re jected. The oommittee rose and report ed the bill to the House. Mr. BaUcn tine's amendment was rejected without revision. The other amendments were voted upon in bulk and they were re jected; yeas 108, nays 111. Mr. Her bert offered as a substitute for tho bill a proposition agreed to by the commit tee on naval affairs, which had been published.
