The remoinder of the day was occupied by Daniel (Dem. ), of Virginia, in a speech against the Nio araguan canal bill, as being "in fraud of the contract. " Senate then went into executive session.

This action was not unanimous and some individual amend ments were reserved for submission to the Senate when the subject shall come up. it was also decided that the Alas kan boundary quostion should be offer- id in the Senate at an early day for ar bitration, but it is thought that the com mittee will have a hard time securing die requirod two-thirds vote.

The House committee ou foreign affairs ordered favorably re ported the resolution requesting the Secretary of State to give the House the present status of the treaty by which the United States and Great Britain are restricted from building or maintaining war vessels of the great lakes. Following this action, the House disposed of a lot of miscellaneous busi ness, and toward the close of the ses sion, took np the consideration of the Indian bill. Johnson, Bepublican, of Indiana, gr ve to the House at length his views unon the neoessitv for a revision of the currency and banking laws. Tuesday Another Presidential veto was repudiated by the House. It was a bill to restore J onathan Scott, a vet eran of the r lfta Iowa cavalry to the Eension roll.

Wilson, (Dem.) Of SoUlll taro lina, spoke in favor of the biii. Chair hion Batholdi refused to sign the report tf the committee recommending the bill. The principal objection to the Vill wito the clause requiring Immigrants to read Anfl write, "in the language of (heir native resident 6iu rttrf. " This, t was pointed out, would prevent sev eral classes of people in Eu rope and Central America and Mexico from gaining Admission to the United States, because they do not sreak oither of the languages to which the olanss limits them. It was admitted that the language was intended to pre f eht the eoming of a great body of Rus sian Jews. The tote was taken on the adoption of the conference report and 6ri a division which was agreed to, 110 to 105. Mi. Bsrthodi demanded the yeas and nays wliicS resulted: Yeas 131, nays 117. The usual motion to re consider and to lay that motion on the table having been made by Mr. Danford and agreed to, the House adjourned Thursday. The Indian flppropiation bill passed the House with some ma terial changes, all reduoing the scope of the measure. Altgeld, of Illinois, was the subject of speeches in connec tion with fraud in the late national elec tion elaimed by him, thereby defeating Bryan. Morton, Secretary of Agricul ture, was eritioized by Dearmond (Dem.), of Missouri, for the recent bul letin he issued showing the illiteracy and poverty of the States which voted for Bryan, as compared with those of the MaKinley States and denounced it as a slander upon the men whom the Department of Agriculture were sup posed to represent. Wednesday next the House will consider the election contest of Cornell vs. Swanson, from the Fifth Virginia district Fkidat. In the House tliare were warm words between the States of Mas saehusets nnd Vermont oyer the allega tions of railroad wrecking in those commonwealths.

The conferees were instructed to insist npon the retention of the bill of the House amendments, the princi pal one of which forbade the issue of stock, excent for uar value received. The bill making appropriations for the Military Academy was sent to con ference on the Senate amend nient thereto. The agricultural bill was considered without completing it. Hardy, (Bep.,) of Ind'ina, began a speech in favor of the acquisition oi Cuba, and being refused permission to conclude, the five minvto rule being in operation, gave notice that o bill should pass the House by unat imous consent for the remainder of the ses sion. The House committee on eloc tions reported in favor of Bontncr, (Dem.,) of Louisiana, against Benoit, (Bep.) At the night session nineteen private pension bills were passed. KTimnv Tbfl ncrrimiltiirft unnro- priation bill was the principal and ol nioet the sole subject before the House. As usual the distribution of seed gave rise to an animated discussion, and comprised the annual motion to strike jut the appropriation (8130,000) alto gether. This failed, 8'J to 70. An amendment was adopted authorizing the members to select the seeds they desire, the Department of Agriculture to purohaso and distribute the same Two or three private bills were then passed and the House adjourned until Monday.
