HOUSK.

WASHINGTON, May 20.—A half million dollars for the Illinois and Mississippi canal is now safely lodged in the rivor and harbor bill. Tho chairman of tho committee of the whole decided, after \hinking over tho question for a night, that tho appropriation for the canal was properly in the bill, and a motnon to strike it oirt was dofeated Saturday by a largo majority after two hours' debate. This settles the matter so far as tho Houso is concerned. The opposition claimed that Congress has no coastitutional authority to appropriate money for digging canals, oven though the canal bo designed to improve the commercial facilities of tho whole country by opening wator communication botwoon two great natural waterways. Mr. Turner (Ga.) led tho opposition, and was supported by Messrs. Hatch (Mo.), Iiolman (Ind.), Buckalew (Pa.) and Oatcs (Ala.).

General Henderson's (111.) efforts woro seconded by Henderson, Gear, Sweeney and Hayes, of Iowa, Anderson (Kan.) and Blanchard (La.) and whllo tho argument was going on Messrs. Gost, Ilopklns and other Illinois Representatives were at work on tho floor. Tho bulk of tho votes striking out tho soction woro given by Democrats, but portions of tho Democratic dologations from Texas. South Carolina and Illinois voted with tho Republicans in favor of Heiuiepin.

The bill provides that tho canal and feedor shail bo eighty foet wido and sevon feet deep, tho locks 170 foet long and thirty feot wide andhavo capacity for vossols of 280 tons burdon. The Secretary of War is required to secure tho right of way for the canal and feedor and such land as may be nocosBary by agrooinont, purchaso or voluntary convoyance, or by con» demnation through tho Dnitod States Court, tho proceedings to bo governed by the laws of tho Stato of 11iinols. And the work is to commonco as soon as practicable by tho construction of ono of the locks and dams on Rock river at s*ich point as may bo doomed advisable. Tho motion to strike out tho canal provision was lost

It Is unfortunate that both of these enterprises could not havo received equal recognition, but General Henderson feared that ho would loso both if ho tried to get tho other in the bill.

Dr. Fulton, of Brooklyn, N. Y., made a spirited speech in regard to Italian missions, lie maintained that without tho English flag as protection that American missionaries would not bo safe In China, Spain or Italy.

Tho most exciting discussion of the convention was precipitated by tho introduction of a resolution by Rov. P. S. Moxon, of Boston, recommending that tho board of managers havo the annual convention of the Mission Union held separately from those of the other societies, in order that sufficient time might bo had for tho proper consideration of Important mission questions. Mr. Moxon supported his resolution In a brief but energetic speech.

Rov. Dr. Lortmer, of this otty, vehemently opposed the resolution and deprecated any attempt to separate the Baptist anniversaries. Both speakers wero liberally applauded and it'was evident that tho houso was divided.

Numorous speeches for and against Iho rosolution were mado and tho difficulty was finally solvod by B. F. Jacobs, a lay dolegato of this city, who suggested that the resolution bo amondod so as to ask tho board of managers to devlso somo plan by whloh moro time could bo had, and that that portion of tho resolution bo stricken out which suggested a separation of tho anniversaries. Tho rosolution as amended was adopted without dissent
