Capital New#.

HOUSK.

WASHINGTON, July 23.—Immediately after tho reading of tlio journal in tho House Tuosday tho voting began on tlio original package bill. Tim first vote was on tho Adams substitute defining original packages. It was lost, 83 to 115. The House then proceeded to voto on tho Itouso substitute for tho Scnato bllL Tho following is the Iiouso measure "That whenever any article of commcrasls Imported Into any Stutc from liny other'S'lato, Territory ..or foreign nation and there held or ollcrcd for sale, the snmc shall be subject to the laws of such State. Provided, thut no iliscriniinutlon shall mmle by any State In favor ot Its citizens aguinst those of othcrStates orTerrltorl es in respect to the sale of uny article of commerce, nor In favor of Its own products against those of a like character produced in other States or Territories. Nor shall tho transportation of commerce through any State be obstructed, except for the ncccssnry enforce* mont of tho health law of tho State."

The voto resulted—yoas, 109 nays, 1)4. A motion to reconsidor was tabled, and tho Senate bill as amended was passod—yoas, 170 nays, 8& Thoso voting in tho negative woro Messrs. Abbott, Adams, Urocklnridgo (Ark.) llreckenrldge (lCy.), Cartor, Carutb, Chipman, Clunio, Crain, Culbertson (Tox.), Cummings, Dunphy, Elliott,* Foreman, Fowler, Frank, Hayes, Lanham, Lawlor, Lehlbach, Martin (Tox.), Mason, McAdoo, McCarthy, Mutehlor, O'Noil (Mass.), Outhwaite, Quinn, Richardson, Sayress, Stewart (Tex.), Taylor (111.), Turner (N. Y.), Van Slialek, Vaux, Witthorno, Wiko, and Wiley.

A conference with tho Scnato was aslcod for and tho llouso then procoodod to tho consideration of tho bankruptcy bill.

Mr. E. B. Taylor (O.), chairman of tho judiciary committee, oponcd tho debate with a speech In favor of tho bill as ono in whose preparation no pains had been spared to mako it just anil equitable to all parties. That a gonoral bankruptcy bill which would operate with celerity and cheapness would

for tho gonoral good could not

be de-

niod. Ilo opposed tho "voluntary bankruptcy bill" framed by tho minority as favorable to tho creditor only and not mutual.

Mr. Wallace (N. Y.) expressed his hearty approval of tho law. It waa framed in tho interest of business integrity and commercial fair dealing.

Mr. Culborson thought tho bill

did

not differ materially from tho Lowell bill of a former Congress, or from the act of 1

SOT, against which public senti

ment became so strong that it was repealed. Ho could not explain tho an*ioty of tho moneyed Interests to havo It passod, unless it was that tho shadow of tho legislation of the present Congress was over them. It might bo that tho committee which indorsed tho bill thought it necessary to provide a wrecking train to pick up the debris of the fortunos which would bo scattered all ovor the country whon tho tariff bill, tho silver bill and tho election bill woro enforced.

Mr. Buchanan (N. ,1.) said tho measure was demanded by the pooplo of tho country, and the committee boliovod that tho bill was an improvement over tho old law and would result in Increased efficiency and reduced cost.

Mr. Kolley (Kan.) inquired whether under tho provisions of tho bill lawyers only could bo appointed referees, and, Air. Huchanun having made an affirmative responso, Mr. Kolley suggested that It was not right to discriminate against farmors, and he was one himsolf, and business men who woro not members of the bar. Mr. Iluchanan gavo it as his opinion that tlio worst thing that could befall a farmer was to quit farming and practice law. Hut tho fact was that tho referees had judicial functions to perform.

Mr. lioatner (La.) and Mr. Hayes (la.) gave a modified support to tho bill, advocating tho general tenor of the moasuro, but suggesting certain changes. The bill then wont ovor. us ATE.

WASHINGTON, July 23.—At tho morning session of tlio Senate the bill giving a pension of J.000 a year to Mrs. Jesslo Fremont was reported from tho committee on pensions and placed on tho calendar.
