I &1 FTY-FIFTTI CONGRESS. rfeport of the Proceedings from Day I to Day. SENATE.: Tuesday. The. Senate indulered in an almost onesided denunciation of the civil service law and its administration. Only one Senator, Lodge, defended the law, and the upshot of it all was that a motion was agreed to, without a divis ion, but amended so as to instruct the committee on civil service and retrench ment to inquire and report whether the civil service law should be continued, amended or repealed. jTurpie (Dern.), of Indiana, made an argument in favor of a constitutional amendment to make United States Senators: elected by the popular vote instead of by the State Legislatures, j These bills were passed by the Senate: Directing the Secretary of War to furnish a thousand tents to shelter and relieve the sufferers from the flood inj the Mississippi rier; to amend the act repealing the timber cul ture laws. A constitutional amend ment to make the 80th of April inauguration day was ! introduced by Mr. Hoar. I . f j j j. j Wednesday.' The Senate spent only half an hour in open session today, the J remainder j ; of the time being given I to the j consideration of the arbitration ' treaty, behind closed closed doors. The agricultural appropriation bill," one of the , four money bills jthat failed at the last ses sion, was reported back in the shape in which it passed the House last week, and was' placed on the calendar. It will be acted on at an early day. I The attack upon the civil service law and its administration, j which distin guished yesterday's proceedings, was followed upj today by! the introduction of two billsj one by Mr. Allen, Popu list, "of Nebraska, for the repeal and annulment bf the law and of all execu tive orders! issued under it;: and the other bv Mr. Pritchard; Republican of North Carolina, chairman of the com mittee on civil service and retrench ment, modifying it in its application to the Government Printing Office. While in jexecutive j session the Sen ate confirmed the nominations of Bin ger Hermann,' of Oregon, !to be Com missioner cjf the ! General Land Office, and Ernest! C. Tiinme, of Wisconsin, to be Auditorjof the State Deiartment. Thursday, r Among the bills intro duced andj referred j was one by Mr. Foraker, Republican,; of Ohio, to pro vide a modern organization of the ar tillery of the army. Mr. Pasco pre sented, in an amended form, the cre dentials of John! A. Henderson as Sen ator from the State of Florida, ui.der appointment by the Governor, until the next meeting of the Legislature in April next. Mr.i rloars stated that no action had been taken by the commit tee on privileges and elections in the matter of the admission of Senators, the appointment of Governors. At 12:20, jon motion! of Mr, Davis, Re-t pumican, oi lUinnesoxa, acting cnair- man of the! committee on foreign rela tions, the Senate proceeded to the con sideration (with the doors closed) of the arbitration treaty. At 3 p. m. the doors were re-opened and the unfin ished business, the bankruptcy bill, was taken up, the bill being read in exten so. , The reading of the bill occupied exactly one hour. Some formal amend ments were offered by( Mr. Hoar and were agreed to. I Mr. Nelson, Republi can. of -Minnesota, offered a substitute for the bill, which was also read in full, and when it was concluded, the Senate, at 4:20 p. m., adjourned. Three minor nominations only were confirmed by the Senate, of local inter est to New England and Ohio. Friday. j Mr.! Gray,! Democrat, of- fered a resolution for printing the re- cent decision of: the Supreme Court, in the Transl-Missouri case.. Mr. Culloni, of Illinois,! stated in that j connection, that he had received a large number of letters aud telegrams, isking for print ed .copies of the decision and that at least 1,000 1 1 - AAA ' copies ought to be printed, i i ' i f Mr. Cockrell, Democrat, Missouri, suggested that after the decision was a ! Senate document, !. addi printed as tional copies could be ordered, within a cost of 3500.' The resolution was then agreed to. ! I : I j : Mr. Morgan offered a resolution which was agreed to, directing the At torney General to inform! the Senate whether any, and if so,what agreement has been entered into by the President, or any of ;the departments relating to the future disposition) of I the Union Pacific.

A resolution! was Offered by Mr. Lodge, Republican, of calling fori copies of al Massachusetts papers and cor responderice, ! diplomatic or otherwise, on hie m the State Department relating to the arrest and imprisonment in Cnba of two American sailors, Kichenu and Bolton. A large number of bills were introduced, among them one by Mr. Quay, Republican, of Pennsylvania, by request, to suppress pauperism; and by Mr. Cullom, Republican, of Illinois, to promote aerial transportation. At o'clock the Senate adjourned until Monday. HOUSE. Tuesday. The House had Mkav-vrd day's debate I on the tariff bill, "xb event of the day was the speech of Dol liver. He "held the attention oC the whole House, Democrats and Republi cans alike, for over one hour, and kept his hearers laughing j heartily nearly from' start to finish i by j his humor ous desjcript:on of the effects of free trade, or tariff for revenue only. His eloquent j periods in advocacy and defense of the protective tariff policy aroused his ; polif ical associ ates to a high state of (enthusiasm. Other fpeecbes oh I the bill were made by Messrs. ; Gibson, j (Rep. ) 'of Tennessee; Lacey, (Rep.) of Iowa; Newlaucls, (Sil.) of Colorado, the latter of whomj spoke as an opixnent of the Republican I party's j financial policy, but as au advocate of protection A full measure of prosperity, he claimed, would never be restored to the cout try until the old-time parity of 6ilver with j I ! ' ' gold was re-estaolished. The speeches in opposition to the bill were inaue by Dockery, (Dem. ) of Missouri, who at tacked the agricultural schedule, par ticularly, and Mr. McLaurin, (Dem.) of South Carolina, who advocated a tariff on ;cotton andrice.and announced nis opposition to the policy of free raw material: The Senate joint resolution appropriating 15,000 to enable the Secretary of j War to purchase tents for the houseless victims of the Mississippi river flood was agreed to. WbdxesdaI Large audiences in the the galleries. audi an unusually large attendance on the floor of the House of Representatives, heard the third day's general debate upon the tariff bill. The principal speeches of the day were those of Johnson, of North Dakota; Grosve nor, of Ohio, and Evans, of Kentucky. Republican members of the Committee on Ways and Means, in favor of the bill, and of McMillm, of Tennessee.the oldest Democratic member, against it. Other speakers were Fox, Democrat, of Mississippi; bims, Democrat, of Ten- nesee; lorry, Democrat, oi ; Ar kansas; Sayers, Democrat. of Texas, and Maddox, .

This was the j last day of general debate on i the tariff bill in the House of .repre sentatives under the order adopt ed last week but, because Mr. Bailey's throat would not permit him to speak this afternoon, an agreement was made to give two hours to general debate just before taking the vote next Wed nesday, which will be occupied by nun- self and Air. Dmgley. i The proceedings were unusually in teresting, and they were listened to. 'generally by a large number of mem bers and crowded galleries. ' apeecnes against tho bill were made by Messrs.

At the evening session the debate on the tariff bill was continued. Mr. Skinner. Populist, of North Carolina, in supporting the bill, said that if for the past 25 years the Sonth had been trying for protection as the North and Fast had. it would today be the most prosperous section of the country. Friday. The consideration of the tariff bill under the five-minute rule, for the purpose of amendment, which it was expected would be strictly busi ness. opened with the liveliest political contest of the session, lasting through the three hours. j Promptly upon reading of the prefa tory page of the bill, Mr. Dockery, Democrat, of Missuri, onered an amendment for the Secretary of the Treasury to admit free of duty any ar ticle the production and price of which was controlled by a trust in the United States. Mr. Dingley, chairman of the committee on ways and means, made the point that the" amendment was not in order in that place. The point was sustained bv the chairman, and his rul- incr was sustained bv a vote of 158 to 104. In the course of the afternoon several changes of duty were made, among Ihem being au increase of half a cent on the duty on carbonate of ammonia; an increase from 25 to 40 cents a pound in the duty on sulphuric ether; and in creasing the duty on the products of nisrlead from 2i to 3 cents a pound. At 5:15 p. m. the House adjourned, Laving disposed of Oi pages of the 103 of the tariff bill. Saturday. The House, in commit tee of the whole, progressed even more slowly in its consideration of the tariff bill than Friday, having disused of only five pages against nine and a half the day before. The discussion took a wide range, covering the proposition that the foreigner pays the tax under a protective tariff; that a duty on hides would be more beneficial to tne farmer than all the duties in the Agricultural pjehedule; that pig iron can be produced hi Alabama and Tennessee in competi tion with the North and foreign coun tries, with a smaller duty than $4 a ton (although no motion was made to re duce it); that trusts are, in the main, beneficial to the consumers. As a re sult of the day's work, a few imma terial changes were made in the chem ical and earths, and earthenware sched ules, proposed by the committee on ways and means. Monday. In the House there were some dissatisfaction among the Repub licans with the tariff bill. McCall and Lovering, of Massachusetts, protested against the high rates of duty imposed in the woolen and cotton schedules. The provisions bf the bill were defended by Grosvenor, of Ohio; Russell, of Connecticut, and Dingley, of Maine. The changes made by the ways and means committee were generally of slight im portance. The Senate joint resolution, making immediately available $250, (XXI for the protection of the lower Missis sippi, and carrying some of the more pressing items iri the deficiency bill," passed. t .

A QUICK IIEARLNQ Will Be Had of Appeal In Traffic As sociation Case. Attorney-General McKenna has di rected District Attorney McFarlane at New York to take an appeal from the decision of the circuit court of appeals. delivered at JNew York last Friday, in favor of the Joint Traffic Association. composed of Eastern trunk lines. This case is closely allied to that of the Trans-Missouri freight association, in which the United States Supreme Court last Monday held that the anti-trust law was constitutional. The same question are involved aa in the Trans-Missouri case with the addition that the Joint Traffic Association is charged with vio lation of the anti-pooling clause of the inter-state commerce act. The circuit court of appeals held that the United States had no right to go into court in an attempt to dissolve the association under either the anti-trust or interstate commerce acts. It is contended at the department of justice that even the dis senting opinion of the Supreme Court did not sustain points sustained by 1 the circuit court ox appeals. V hen the papers in the appeal arrive the Attorney-General will aak the Dupreme court to advance tne case so that it may be heard at the present term. Another Road Draws Out. The St. Louis and San Francisco rail road Thursday gave notice of with drawal from all the traffic associations. both freight and passenger, in the West ana boutnwest.

So far no action has been taken by any of the car service associa tions. News of the Flood. Another break in the levee at Fifteen Mile Bayou, nine miles below Modoo, Ark. , is reported. It is now over fire hundred feet in width and hourly in creasing. Assistant United States En gineer Notty states that in his opinion all the White river levee system, from Modoo south, will eventually go to pieces. At Kansas City, Mo. , the Missouri river is within 28 feet of the danger line and the indications are that it will go at least one foot hisrher. The bottom at the mouth of the Kaw river is over- nowed and tne squatters have been compelled to take refuge on the bluffs. The Belt Line Railway tracks are un der water in places and serious trouble is feared. The Armour Packing Com pany has a large force of men at work to guard against damage by the expect ed overflow. Several more breaks in the levee at Burd's point have occurred and a cur rent of water as strong as a mill race is rushing through the center of that vil lage. Already a dozen houses have been swept from their foundations and it now looks as if there will not be a building left in the place. Fortunately the dwellers had ample warning- and removed most of their household goods and merchandise. With one exception, the bridge over the' Flint river, at Albany, Ga., there is not a public bridge left in the county. The iron bridge across the Kinchee foonee creek., recently built jointly bv Doughty and Lee counties and costing x.ooo was swept away without a vestige Deing leiu Bucket Shops Win.

We had . not been many minutes In action with the Spartlate when, xrc observed one of our ships (and soon after knew her to be the Vanguard) place herself so directly opposite, to us on the outside of her that I desisted firing on her, that 1 might not do mischief to our friends. and directed every , gun before the mainmast on the Aquilon (fourth French), and all abaft It on the Con- querant, giving up my proper bird to the admiral."
