Washington, April 15.—The honm yestcrtluy pusseil without ameudmeiit the fortifications bill carrying appropriations and authorizations involving an expenditure of $ll,KM4,Hia. The appropriations for fortifications since tin Endicott commission in issn rcjairtisl its plan for tho defense of 47 am ports at un approximate cost of 1100,000,000 have averaged something over fsJ.OOO,000 annually. During the debate yesterday there were a number of references to our j foreign complications and the necessity i of preparing for any possible emergency. \ Only one voice was raised against the passage of the bill. Mr. Berry (Dem., Ky.) thought it would ho wiser to build i ships capable of coping with the most powerful battleships of other nations . rather than erect fixed fortifications on our coasts. Mr. Bingham (Hep., Pa.) presented the conference report on the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill and explained with referenci to the paragraphs to abolish the fee system in the case of marshals, attorneys and United States commissioners that the \ whole question had been referred to a joint committee of the judiciary coin- j mittees of the two houses who were to consult with the attorney general and report to tho conference committee. SENATK H HOC K K DINGS. llond ItfHue lii<|uiry, Dupont Claim and CoaHt Defenses Occupy Hut Time* Washington, April 15.—It was made apparent after a lively colloquy in the senate yesterday that there was no disposition among the silver and Populist senators to allow the resolution for a senate inquiry into the recent bond Issues to lapse. By unanimous consent it had been set for consideration at 2:15, but at that time Mr. Chandler was proceeding with a speech on the Dupont case, Mr. Gray was waiting to follow and Mr. Onllom had an appropriation bill in reserve. This precipitated a clash in which Mr. Peffer, reinforced by Mr. Wolcott of Colorado and Mr. Stewart of Nevada, asserted with emphasis that the bond resolution could not be crowded out either by design or inadvertence. An agreement was finally reached that the bond resolution would come up immediately after Mr. Chandler and Mr. Gray concluded their
speeches.
Mr. Squire (Rep., Wash.) made an elaborate presentation of the pressing need of coast defenses, pointing out the defenseless condition of our great sea coast harbors. Mr Chandler occupied most of the afternoon in supixirt of Mr. Dupont’s claim to a sent in the senate. VENEZUELAN COMMISSION. Will Kxamiiu* the Ditttt at Hand llefore SendlrtK Anyone Abroad. Washington, April 16.—The matter of Bending some one abroad to make further examinations of the archives of Holland and other nations for documents bearing on the boundary dispute was again considered, but a conclusion thereon was deferred until the next meeting, The fact that there is a very large amount of material at the Venezuelan legation in this city, which material the commission expects soon to secure, caused this jwetponement, sis the commission after securing the Venezuelan (wipers can tell with more definiteness what papers are necessary to complete the chain of historical evidence.

There was a warm discussion, at the close of which the presbytery voted unanimously as indicated. The presbytery has endeavored for more than a year to harmonize the troubles existing, but without permanent success.

Denver, April 15.—Tillman of South Carolina, arrived in Denver yesterday. Ho was met at the train by the leading Democrats and taken to the Brown Palace hotel, where he met the committee of reception as a body. Last night a public reception was tendered the distinguisheil visitor at the hotel and tonight he will address the state Democratic convention. Asked as to the political outlook, Senator Tillman said: “I have discovered a much stronger spinal column among tho silver Democrats. In fact, heretofore it has been a sort of jelly affair; pressure at home among the constituents of congressmen and senators and the uoocessity for progressive action has produced a great change. Men whe would not speak to me in December are growing
more chummy all the time.”
"There is only one trouble" he continued, "only one reason why we am being harassed with a doubt and that is some silver men hate to quit tho old parties and the feeling of loyalty holds them back. The outlook is altogether favorable for the Democratic convention t4> be controlled by the free silver wing.”
