The Senate met at 10 o'clock Mr. Hale, from the conference committee on the deficiency bill, submitted a report and proceeded to explain it in regard to cer tain claims (for income tax paid by non resident aliens) which has been regu larly estimated for and which the House had partially and the Senate entirely put in the bill. It had turned out in conference that there were objections to some of those put in by the Senate, and the conferees recommended that these items be referred back to the sec retary of the treasury with instructions to report the facta to Congress at its next session. . Mr. Manderson inquired , as to the item for fifteen days' leave of absenoe to the , employees of the government printing offioe. Mr. Hale said that the item was re- eaah In I ! lota, very The buck leberry (whortleberry) crop of Pender county, is immense this yetr. The berries are large and per fectly sound and the bushes are loaded down. The gathering and exportation of this crop is now one of the moneyed industries of Pender, Sampson, New Hanover, Cumberland, and several other counties in the east. During the past six weeks the huckleberry fields and swamps have been crowded with ne groes who have deserted the cotton and corn fields for the increased wages they get for these berries. Great quantities bare eaten at home and more still are expressed North for immediate eon sumption and, to be put up as other canned goods. The swamps from whenoe these berries are . obtained are incapable of drainage, and the money from this source is all the revenue ob tained by the owners from their swampy lands. C. F. Holder, writing in the San Francisco Call, fives an interesting ac count of anew dish which has not not retched this section yet. The new dish is quite a delicacy and consists of "live honey ants." The ants on a silver salver were servea to air. uoiaer wu u friend as dessert. The ants looked like very large currants and were of a rioh amber hue. The host took one as he ould have- taken a cherry, and al though the thing made a lame effort to get away; the honey bag was bitten off from tbe legs, and a snuie oi extreme bliss overspread the face of the ant- eater. Mr Holder says bis friend ex tinned the feast for several minutes, and then leisnrelv scraping a lot of heads and legs together remarked: "J brought these from away down in soutn erri California, on the edge of Mexico, where they live. They cost me abont a cent apiece, and I propose to introduce them among my trienas. in mexico thev are considered a irreat dainty.

The item to pay the Central Pacific railroad company fo servioes rendered on its non-Bubsidized lines is aUo struck out. Tbe item ,a t the Washington aqueduot and tunnel is retained, with a provision that, the board of engineers for the fortifications and river and harbor improvements shall report whether any changes are necessary in the method of lining the tunnel and the method of lining and perfecting a reservoir. Mr. Hoar asked how the appropria tion-bills of this session compared with thope of the preceding sessions with re gard to the omission by the House of Representatives of items of appropria tion absolutely necessary for the opera tions of the government.depending upon a republican Senate to put them on. Mr. Hale replied that, in his opinion, this practice of the House ' was becom ing worse from year to year. The Senate found the bills sent over from tt e House fractional and incomplete. It would find, for example, a page of ir regular estimates, one-third of the items on which had been left out, while there was no difference in point of merit be tween those omitted and those in cluded. This did give rise to statements more or less declamatory in another branch of the government as to the ex travagance of the Senate, while the fact was that the Senate was very careful to put in nothing that was not necessary to the running of tbe government, lucre . . ... were important utterances at oeing charged with these increased appropria tions, and he was pound to say for the committee on appropriations, that in dealing with this subject it had not been treated as a party matter, the demo cratic members having manifested some impatience as well as the republicans. Mr. Edmunds read from the book of estimates items of deficiency estimated for by the heads of the departments ag gregating more than $3,000,000, and said it . was just as well known when the regular appropriation bills were passed last year that the sums appropri ated were inadequate to the necessities of the government as it is today, but they were not increased because an op portunity was wanted to tell tbe dear peo plethe working-men how economical Congress had been. Report agreed to. Mr. Allison, from the committee on appropriations, reported back the joint resolution appropriating $35,000 ad ditional for the purchase of land for a site for a congressional library. Mr. Plumb objected to its prepent consideration, and it was placed on the calendar. Mr. Allison also reported back the House joint resolution to continue the appro priations temporarily, (until -the 15th inst). Messrs. Plumb and Edmunds objected to present consideration. Mr. Allison asked that the objection be withdrawn, and stated that if the resolutions were not passed, those cm the white man the aggressor. He quoted largely from a pamphlet containing the public addresses of Fred. Douglass, whom he characterised as the most con spicuous and distinguished color ed man in the country, and as a man of affectionate and gentle nature, who was famous for the pacific character of his counsels to his people. If any of the outrages, so eloquently described by Douglas, had been perpetrated on an American citizen in Mexico or Canada, Congress would not adjourn until it had made provisions to nut the national de fences in condition for war. Mr. Kenna protested against the speech made by the Senator from Mas sachusetts in the closing hours of the session. That speech would go into the campaign as a bloody shirt campaign doc ument (with fraud on it) carried free through the mails for the pur pose of agitating sectional sentiments and feelings which (so far as be was concerned) wore dead, and would remain so forever, . Mr. Salisbury' expressed his surprise that a Senator with the experience of the Senator from Massachusetts should have so far departed from all legislative propriety as to inject into a discussion of an adjournment resolution the viru lence of such a speech. From the ex hibitions made by republican Senators while the speech was being made, (many Senators having left their seats) he knew that it had not the approval of those with wbom the Senator was politi cally affiliated. He exonerated the Sen ator's party from all complioi'y with the grave impropriety manifested by the Senator from Massachusetts, but empha sized his condemnation and reprobation of the Senator's attempt to make politi cal capital for his party when there was no opportunity to reply to it. Mr, Eustis denied that a single out rage bad taken place in the State of Louisiana for many years past which had not been the subject of investigation, discussion and decision. He would not stop now to discuss such a stale subject At the proper time he would be found prepared to defend the white people' of the State of Louisiana against any suob accusations as had been quoted . by the Senator. He could not recall a single occurrence since 1876 in that State that Congress, and had himself usurped legislative powers. He gave statistics to show that President Cleveland has vetoed more bills than all the other Presidents together. The discussion was interrupted to allow Mr. Dawes to move that the Senate insists on its amendments to the fortifications bill and asks a conference. The motion was agreed to and Messrs. Dawes, Plumb and Gorman were appointed. Mr. Jones, of Nevada, from the com mittee on contingent expenses, re ported a joint resolution allowing one month's extra pay to all committee -clerks, pages, laborers and other em ployes of the Senate and House who do not receive annual salaries. Calendar. The discussion of the veto was re sumed but was interrupted when Mr. McMillan, from the conference committee on the river and harbor bill, submitted a report, being in shape of a substitute for the whole bill, which Mr. Edmunds insisted should be read in full. A message having been received from tke House for the return of the bill increasing the pensions of pensioners who had lost a leg or an arm in the ser vice, (in order to have a correction made in it), the oh air asked instructions of the Senate as to his duty the bill being en rolled and having the signatures of the president "f the Senate and the speaker of the House, and no correction of it being now possible. A message was sent to the House informing it of the condition of the bill. he reading of the river and harbor bill was concluded After Eome discussion the conference report was agreed to without a division. The Senate at 6 o'clock took a recess till 8 o'clock. ; HOPS".

Mr. George (member of the judiciary committee) recognized the bill as pre senting a question of the very gravest importance, whioh deserved a careful, calm and dispassionate consideration, and he declared himself ready to go into a discussion of the bill, but on condition that no day shall be fixed for adjourn ment until the discussion is over- He asked that the Senate should determine now whether it would consider the bill at this session or not. " Mr. Dawes endorsed his colleague as representing truly in this matter the sentiment of the people of Massachu setts. Troubles had occurred in some of the Southern States, and so far as the people of Massachusetts knew there had been manifested such indifference to them iu the States themselves and Congress that the people of Massachu setts regarded them as matters of serious consequence. ' He was in entire sym pathy with an earnest and calm effort to make the life and liberty and politioal rights of every citizen of the United States more secure than they were now Mr. Gibson expressed his surprise and regret that the Senator from Massa chusetts (Mr. Hoar) should have brought into the Senate at this hour of the session a subject calculated to create sectional debate. The speech was like an iceberg coming from an arctic region into an atmosphere of genial warmth cheered by a sunny and generous patriotism. It was an in dictment against the entire population, from the Potomao to the Rio Grande. It was an apple of discord thrown into the Senate in the closing hours of the session. As to his own State, he bore testimony to the peace and quiet that prevailed there; while, on the contrary, WASHINGTON. TBIE HOUSE COMMITTEE ADOPTS RESOLVTIOH ISJ THE UTTIBCt CASE.

Mr. rlumb declined to withdraw tbe objection, being willing, he said, to eaVe with tbe Mouse the responsibility for its : tardiness in sending tbe appropriation bill to the Senate. The change of tbe rule in tbe House by which seven or eight of the general ap propriation bills W'e taken from the appropriation camr ;tee had not gone deep enough, tif might particularize to show where the blame rested, but as the House tolerated the autocracy which controlled its business, it became itielf responsible for all delays. The joint resolution was placed on the calendar. Mr. Allison, irom tne same commit tee, reported bacx the liouse adjourn ment resolution, with an amendment changing the time from the 28th of July to 4 p. m. the 4th of August. Mr. Hoar expressed dissent to the passage of this or any other adjourn ment resolution until the Senate con sider ed the bill reported by him from the judiciary committee April 19, for "inquests" under national authority. He referred to the massacres during the last few years in Louisiana, South Car olina, Alabama, Mississippi and other Southern States, and stated that in every one of these cases, so - far as was shown to the people of the North by the press, the negro and the republican was the victim and the democrat and city of Chicago and in the territory ad' jacent to it. There they had heard murmuringa of deep discontent, threat ening the entire framework of society itself the very origin on which the title to property rests; and yet, in the presence of such disorders, threatening all the elements of society, the Senator from Massachu setts turned aside and directed at tention to the southern section, where peace and quiet prevailed; where there was not a ripple on the surface; where God was blessing the people with abun dant crops: where the relations between capital and labor are undisturbed; where there was not a strike, no tumult, no disorder, and where life and property were protected under the laws Mr. Kenna said that bo far as the Sen ator's (Hoar's) declaration of his - pur pose to have the bill considered was con cerned, he had no issue with him, but heJ could not see any cause or pretext for the Senator's speech when he knew that his bill could not be and would not be considered. Mr. Blair objected to the further con sideration of the adjournment resolu tion, and it was placed on the calendar. Mr. Blair then called up the report of the committee on pensiors in the case of the vetoed bill giving a pension to Mary J. Nottage, and be proceeded to state the merits of the ease. Mr. Piatt followed in an argum nt that the President had mistaken his function is regard to legislation by main in the bill unchanged. No appro priation is made for the Hennepin canal, but a board of three engirejrs is re quired to consider the value of the proposed canal to the commerce of the country. The proviso is attached that nothing in this clause shall be construed as committing the government to the im provement. No appropriation is made Sturgeon bay or Portage lake canals, but the board of engineers is required to' report to the next Congress as to the facts connected with their construction. The report and statement having been made, Mr. Burnes, of Missouri, raised the question of consideration with the con ference report on the deficiency appro propriation bill, but the the House de mined by a vote of 143 to 21 to con sider the river and harbor report. Mr. Springer, of Hlinois, made a point of order that the conference report must be considered t : committee of the whole, but the point was promptly over ruled by the speaker. Then Mr. Springer raised the question of no quorum upon the motion ordering the previous question on the adoption of the report, and there being a bare quorum in the House it was some time before sufficient members passed between the tellers and ordered the previous ques tion. Filibustering motions were then resorted to by Messrs. Springer and Hepburn, but as they did not have a large enough- following to order the yeas and nays, after the consumption of an hour s time they bad exhausted an parliamentary motions at their disposal and the conference report was debated for half an hour: Mr. Willis closed the debate in a three-minute speech in favor ot the re port. The report was agreed to yeas m, nays 98. Mr. Burnes, of M ssouri, submitted conference report upon the deficiency appropriation bill. After a snort dis cussion as to the propriety of the action of the conference committee in striding ont a clause which had previously re ceived the approval of J)0th houses, tho report was agreed to. Mr. Morrison submitted a oonforenco report upon the surplus joint resolution and it was ordered printed in the Rc cord. r Mr. Randall submitted a conference report on the sundry civil bill. The reading of the report consumed nearly an hour, and as o o clocx was near hand, Mr. Holman insisted that its con sideration go over nntil tomorrow, say ing that the increased appropriations for the salaries of officers were unexampled. Mr. Randall replied that most of the officers whose salaries were increased were in the land offioe. The report was then agreed to yeas 126, nays 26, and the House at 5 o'clock adjourned. either bill. It is not now expeoted that another conference will be held. As agreed upon in conference, the deficiency appropriation bill appropriates $6,850,000. , The Senate added nearly $2,000,000 w the House bill, which was reduced $930,000 in conference. Among the items stricken out in conference was the Senate amend ment dir cting a readjustment of cer tain accounts disallowed by the first comptroller, the Senate provision for the payment of government transporta tion on the Pacific railroads, and the House provision limiting to $800 the annual fees of the United States com missioners. The sundry civil bill, which has been regarded as the main obstacle in the way of a speedy ad journment of Congress, was a? red upon by the conferees today. The coast survey item, insisted upon by the Senate, remains substantially as it. passed the Senate, while the provision for the protection and improvement ot Yellowstone park is the same aa that made in the original House bill. The clause in relation to the occupancy by a government bureau of the pen sion offic . building is modified so as to place the building under control of the secretary of the interior, and no outside bureaus are to be placed in the build ing until it is completed. The Bar tholdi statue item, insisted on by the Senate, remains in the bill. For the protection Of the public lands $90,000 is allowed. For the survey of swamp lands the Senate amendment increasing the appropriation from $15,000 to $30, 090 is adopted, and of the $50,000 an propriated for general surveys J$20,000 is made applicable to defray the ex penses of field work.
