House Parliamentarians Enfftigo

fcKNATB.

WASHINGTON,

Feb.

The hour of 5 o'clock having arrived the committee arose and reported the bill to the house withou.' amendment, no vote having been taken in committee upon the substitute. Mr. Furquhar (X. Y.) formally offered the house substitute for the senate bill. Sir. Springer (111.) made the point of order that this being Friday the house was in recess until S o'clock, but the point was overruled by the speaker 011 the ground that the special order superseded the general rule. The house bucuine a scene of confusion, growing out of the parliamentary tangle in whieh it found itself. Mr. Fithian (111.) obtained permission to offer a free-ship substitute. Lost— yeas, 117 nays, 17:2. The house substi tute was agreed to—144 to 47. The vote recurring 011 ordering the senate bill as amended bv the substitute to a third reading, the roll was called amid intense excitement. Every re spotise was anxiously awaited, and us the call came to a close and it was knowi#that the motion had been defeated there were many manifestations of pleasure on the democratic side. At the lust moment Mr. Dinglcy changed his vote to the negative and the speaker announced the vote to be—yeas, 142 nays, US. The aiiiiiMiiieemeut van greet ed with wild applause by the democrats, and then Mr. Dingley (Me.) moved to reconsider—a motion which Mr. MeMillin (Tenn.) promptly moved to lay on the tuble. This motion wns defeated —yeas, 140 nays, 149—and the repub Means were iubilunt. Then cuinc the vote on the motion to reconsider. The motion was agreed to—yeas, 148 nays. 148—und the question again rceurred on ordoring the bill to third reading. The third roading of the bill was ordered—yeas, 147 nays, 145.

Mr. Cannon (111.) moved that the bill be recommitted to the committee on merchant murine and fisheries, with instructions to that ooinmittee to report back forthwith a bill—similar to the senate bill on the same subject—to provide for ocean mail service between the United States and foreign-ports Mr. Bland (Mo.) raised the point of order that the committee could not be directed to report "forthwith." Tho speaker ruled that Mr. Cannon's motion was in order and put the previous question on the motion, which was ordered—yeas, l'-io: nays. 105.

The question then followed on Mr. Cannon's motion to recommit with instructions, and it was carried—veas, 143 nays, 142.

The first call showed that there was no party feeling involved in the question. Twice had the vote to be recapitulated before its accuracy could be relied upon. The rote was finally announced, and immediately Mr. Farquliar (N. Y.) rose and reported back the bill in accordance with the instructions.

The bill having been read, a fusillade of points of order was directed from the democratic side. Then Mr. Crisp raised the point that the bill must be considered in committee of the whole, pending which the point was raised that the bill had lost its privileged cliaractcr and must take its place at the foot of the calendar. The speaker overruled tho point of order, and the senate bill, us amended, was passed—yeas, 140 nays, 120. Mr. Furquhar moved that a conference be ordered. Pending aotiou on Mr. Furquliar's motion the house, at midnight, adjourned.

The shipping bill us passed by the house is radically different from the measure sent to that body by the senate. It merely authorizes the postmas-ter-general to enter into such a contract for not less than live nor more than ten years with American citizons for carrying the mails on American steamships between United States ports and foreign ports, the dominion of Canada excepted, as will subserve and promote the postal and commercial interests of the United States —the mail service to be equitably distributed among Atlantic, Mexican gulf and Pacific ports. The vessels contracted with must be of American build and oflicercd by American citizens.
