Wabbiirotok, Dec 14 Hon k
Mr. Hooker of Mississippi, intro
duoed a concurrent resolution p -viding
for a holiday recess from FV
day, December 21st, 'until Monday,
January 7 th. Referred to the coin
'mittee on ways and. means. .
Mr. Cleary, of Texas,' moved tha
the House go into committee of the
whole on the private calendar fo
further consideration of the Nicara
gua canal bill, and, pending this mo
tibn, moved that all debate on th
bQl and amendments thereto be lim
itedto forty minutes.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, raised a
point of Order against the latter mo
tion, , contending that debate
could. only ,be limited on a specified
section of a bill, and not upon the
entire measure. This point was dis
cussed at considerable length, a diffi
culty arising from the faot that on
Friday last a bill was considered in
the regular manner, amendments
being offered to all sections.
In Order to settle the question Mr.
Paysoh, of Illinois, offered an amend
ment providing that the bill shall be
read by sections, the debate on the
first section beinsr limited to thirty
minutes. L v . '? ,
Mr.f Wilson, of Minnesota; rising
to a Question of crivileee. Bent to the
clerk's desk and had read an article
from a ew York newspaper declar
ing that I two elements were united
against the Nicaragua Canal bill
the agents of the Pacific Railxoad and
the attorneys of the Panama Canal
Company- giving an interview with
Judge paly on the subject and inti
mating; that the gentlemen ; who had
offered amendments to the bill Wil
son of Minnesota, Cobb of Alabama,
Bland of Missouri, and Spinola of
New York), were seeking to defeat
the bill by indirection. The j gentle
men named all indignantly denied be
ing influenced iu their, action in offer
ing amendments by any purpose ex
oept a desire to perfect the measure,
and the latter referred to Judge Daly
as a man who, since his retirement
from the bench, had been connected
with a .'breezy enterprise. ;-(-, ;
Mr. Cox, of New lork, paid a warm
eulogy! tcj Judgtt Daly's integrity, and
ixt an; emphatio manner denied the
charge that he was a lobbyist.
The matter was then a ropped and
Mr. Parson's resolution adopted and
the House went into committee of
the whole on the Nicaragua bill.
MrPayson offered an amendment
providing that all snares, j stocks,
bonds, certificates and other seouri
ties shall be issued from the princi
pal office: in New York and shall be
disposed of only for cash.-
The amendment .wa) defeated by
a tie tote but it was agreed that an
other I vote should be taken in the
House. 1 1 :: ' -,
Mr.f Spinola offered an amendment
limiting the capital stock to $100,-
000,000, and the amendment was sup
ported Jby Mr. Faysonud opposed
bt Mr Payne, of Pennsylvania, who,
in the course of his remarks,' declared
t b at the : bill : wonld be passed this
seBsidn if it occupied every Fri Say.
The committee thenTose, and, after
an hour and a half ; spent in a vain
tff jrt to secure a ' quorum upon the
proposition to limit debate, the
House at. 4 30 took a recess until 7.30
o'clock, the evening session to be for

hour! this evening, the time being
principally consumed in an cff rt to

for the consideration of private pen
sion bills but no agreement could be
