MORNING EDITION, THELATO FROM ALL PABTS OP THE WOBli forty-eighth' congress, SECOND SESSION. - ' 'r? Tl; Nicaragua Surveying Expedition A Dead-Lock onltlievNaval Appro priation Bill and a Disagreement aa to the Holiday Beceee-Tna Inter-" State Commerce BUI Considered in the Home.1 By Telegraph to the Morata Star. J SENATE. , ' Washtsgtox, December 20. At the con clusion of the morning business, Mr. Vest called up bis resolution objecting to send ing the proposed surveying expedition to Nicaragua. Mr. Morgan moved that the matter be considered in secret legislative session. The motion was seconded by Mr. Came ron, of Wisconsin; and'the doors were or dered to be closed. While the order was being executed, Mr. Conger said, "I call for the other side," to WuICU .Dir. li&uiciuu, ui M isvuuoiu, icyuuj "There is no other side to it," which raised 1 - a laugh at Mr. uonger s expense, as meruie provides that on a demand being at any ' time made by two Senators, the doors of the Senate shall beclosed. The Senate then, at 12.20 p. mwentinto secret legislative session. During the secret session the doors were for a few minutes considered opened for the purpose of receiving & request from the House for a further conference on the Naval bill, which request was granted. When the secret legislative session closed, the Senate went into executive session. At 3-45 p. m. the doors were re-opened, and Mr. Hoar moved to take up for consid eration the House resolution providing for adjournment from to-day untiF January 5th. The resolution- was taken tip. Mr. Hoar asked Mr. Allison, (chairman of the Appropriation committee),' as to the condi tion of things in case the Senate should agree to the resolution in question. Mr. Allison said that if the Senate passed this resolution, and the two houses should adjourn to the date named, there would on the 1st of January be no money from which the navy could be paid. Every Senator could judge for himself whether it was the duty of the Senate to adjourn. - Mr. Hale said the Senate had yesterday, by unanimous vote, supported the position ' of its own committee, insisting on its amendments. The House was advised of this fact. It appointed conferees and sent j. the bill back to the Senate, where it ar rived at 2 o'clock to-day. In the Senate a further conference was ordered, and con ferees were appointed. He (Hale) had sent word to the House conferees that the Senate conferees were ready at any time to meet them, but the House conferees had not ap peared. The Chairman of the House Com mittee had assured him (Hale), that a con ference was useless unless the Senate would recede from its position. The House was determined that the Senate should fnllnw 7 the, rule adopted by the House, of taking . .thappropriation,.biirof last year and giv ing one half its amount for the coming half . ElU. AUG DUIKIUCUt VT U IUM 111G J3.UUBC would never back down. . Mr.McPher8on said he heard too much criticism nf the TTniiRfi nf RpnrpsrmtnttTOa ' The true difficulty was that the Senate bad insisted on attaching to an annronri&tinn bill a provision the steel cruiserclause that had no place there. After welve or thirteen months the Senate aaetill insist- ing on the provision impretoer in that place when, it knew that the House would -not yieia. , " V- " -r TT 1 - a . mm m jus. naie saia tne nonse flirf not oven give the Senate an opportunity of receding irum last, of, any otner amendment. jici-nerson tnought the House quite right fn its position, , as long as the Senate i nsisted on- that amendment . Mr.Beck said the position of the House . -Conference Committee was that it would not take up or consider the bill prepared at the last session by the House itself and .. amended by the Senate. t At 5 o'clock a message was received from the House of Representatives making provi sion for the naval service for thirtv-one days from the 31st of December next Mr. Butler called for its immediate con sideration. The bill was read, and after some debate, in which it met with opposi tion on thfe same eround as did the six months bill, Mr. Butler withdrew his call for its immediate consideration. - Mr. Logan, from the committee on Milita ry Affaire, reported the Military Academy Appropriation bill, and it was passed with out debate. ; It appropriates in all $309,395 for the support of the Academy for the next fiscal year. ' - , The House concurrent resolution, provid ing for an adjournment from to day to Jan uary 5th, was then taken up and voted on by yeas and nays, and was not agreed to yeas 8, nays 25. This vote developed the fact that there was no quorum present, whereupon, at 5.45 p. .m., the Senate ad journed until Monday next. HOUSE OFj REPRESENTATIVES. Immediately after the reading of the Journal the House resumed considera tion of the Inter-State Commerce bill. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, moved to strike out the section prohibiting railroad compa ! mes from charging greater compensation for transporting freight shorter than longer distances. He believed that the section was . deadly to the interest of the part of the country which he represented the aeri cultural interest. "Mr Reagan, of Texas, opposed the mo tioirNot to prohibit a greater rate for 8hste : than for longer haul, was to submit toUhe railroads the regulation of the entire cornmerce of the country. --1 f ahel. discussion Mr. Reagan yielded, to Mr. Randall, of Penn., to permit turn to report the conference disagreement " Mit JpW Naval Appropriation bill Mr. Randall said there should be no ill feeling between the two houses on ac- -UwV llLe Agreement. He did not think that the position of the House con ferees had been stated fair in the Senate yesterday and therefore he would express JeJi,T0ice.0f th08e conferees as to what they had maintained. It was well -. kown "j Navy Department had been administered during the past six montbs . under- a temporary appropriation. The continuance of the provisions of this proper . bill was objected to by the Senate. The Senate conferees desired that the bill which shou d he made the basis of the conference should be the bill that was passed last ; session by the House and amended by the Senate, but which was laid aside and never became a law. That bill was based on an increase of appropriation approachine 50 - . 000,000, and would bring into the con" ference new subjects not legislated upon at What the House conferees wanted was - to take the existing law and if necessary r repeal it by items. They did not want to use a drag-net and bring in other matters of legislation and appropriation. The ques tion of appropriation for new vessels formed the burden of the debate which followed. -At its conclusion the House insisted on its disagreement to ; the Senate amendments. -, and further conference was ordered. ' . Mr. Randall moved that when the House adjourn to-day it be to meet Wednesday, r the 24lh inst. The constitution, ? he eaid, prohibited. adjournment for more than three . flays without, the concur rence of the Senate. -He asked unani mous consent that it should be agreed that on the 24th further adjournment should be had until the 27th, then to the 31st, and then until the 5th of Jan uary; ; and i that on those days - no business ' whatever t shall be - transacted .' This would accomplish the judgment of the House on the;; question of holiday rece&.( There was barely, a quo rum in the House this morning, ana 11 would be impossible to get one next week. Mr. Randall's motion was agreed to, but unanimous consent was not given to the agreement for further adjournment. . Consideration or the inteivtstare com merce bill was resumed ; " The amendment of Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, was rejected yeas 58. nays X18. Mr. Peters, of Kansas, oserea an amend ment to the "long and short hand provi sion, by adding the words, "longer distance to be limited to the honest competing port at which two or more railroads compete for business. On this amendment no quo rum voted and a call of the House was or dered. The call showed 196 members pre sent Mr. Peters withdrew, his amend ment, and the consideration of the bill was postponed: ; : Mr. Kanaaii mtroducea a 0111 masmg temporary provision for the support of the navy for the month of January, 1885, on the basis of the six months' appropriation. The bill was passed without division. - On motion or Mr. Hopkins, or Jra., me Senate's joint resolution was passed, declar ing Christmas and New Year's days, holi days for all per diem government em ployees. The House then adjourned until Wed nesday, December 24thi Though there is nd definite agreement that no business shall be transacted on Wednesday, there is a tacit understanding to that effect, and it is also understood, that consecutive adjourn ments shall be v taken for three business days at a time until January 5th. j VIRGINIA. The Case offlahone and others Against the Southern Telegraph Co. By Telegraph to the Mornlnc ar. 1 Norfolk, Dec, 20. Thehearing in the case of Mahone . and others sgamst the Southern Telegraph Company, in bjcli a receiver is asked for. began to-day before Judsres Bond and Hughes, of the United, States Circuit. Court. Gen. B. F. Buder mm aha fhti AAnn'oal f as f na nlanili tiff, and Gen. Bradley T. Johnston appeared for the defence. The defenceimoved jto dismiss the suit for want of ju'rlsdicwn and the discussion of this motion coasunied the entire day. The motion was overruled and the case adjourned until Monday, then the Court said nominations for oSheceiver would be heard. The plaintiff Sena)fr Wil liarn Mahone.was in court. Uut the defendant Consny appeared ' ionl by at torneys, and raved the question of jurisdic tion, contendirignhat the Telegraph Com pany cannot be sued in Virginia, it being a New York corporation ; and they argued that it did not appear from the record that any effort had -been made by. the plaintiffs to have the trustee give an account of the property entrusted to him before asking the Court to interfere. 'John S. Wise and Gen. Butler contended for the plaintiffs that the jurisdiction of the Court was clear and un questioned, and stated in argument that the bonds of the Southern Telegraph Company, to the amount Of $1,300,000, bad been ab stracted from the vaults of Farmers' Loan & Trust Company, by A. W. Dimmock, President of the Bankers & Merchants' Tele graph Company, and" are now found in the bands of the receiver of the latter Com pany aa assets; and although obtained by fraud, they are liable to pass into the hands of innocent persons.and thus impair greatly the value of plaintiffs . property. Noth ing but the interference of this Court now, they contended, would save the plaintiff and others similarly situated from irrepara ble injury. There wasfa large attendance, and the arguments were listened to with the closest attention. VIRGINIA MIDLAND. . Meeting or the Stockholders of the Railway Company Annual State ment, dee.
