WASHING

rox, March 4.—In the sen­

ate after th« reading' the journal the senate went into executive session. Half an hour afterward the doors were reopened and the general deficiency bill taken up. All the amendments that had been agreed to in committee of the whole Monday night were agreed to in bulk. except ns to four that were reserved, inoluding the French spoliation claims and the Pacific railroad claims. An amendment by Senator Plumb (Kan.) appropriating $.10,000 for the relief of the citizens of Oklahoma who have been rendered destitute by the drought of the past season, was agreed to. The reserved amendments as to payment of Pacific railroad claims and the French spoliation claims were agreed to.

Senator Stewart (Nev.) offered an amendment to reimburse to the states of California, Oregon and Nevada moneys expended by them in the suppression of the rebellion—S2,451,369 for California, 8224,528 for Oregon and S404,040 for Nevada. Agreed to.

Senator Daniel (Va.) moved to insert a paragraph directing the secretary of the treasury to resettle and pay the claims of the states of New York, Pennsylvania. Delaware. Virginia and South Carolina and the city of Baltimore on account of advances made the war of 1812, and appropriating $2,500,000 for that purpose. Agreed to.

This finished the senate's action on the general deficiency hill, and it was then sent to the house with the senate amendment*. The conference report on the diplomatic appropriation bill, Including the provision for the Hawaiian cable, was agreed to. The conference report on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill was presented and agreed to. On the pensions appropriation bill the oonferrees 'reported that no agreement had been reached. The senate refused to recede from lte position and a further conference was asked. The conference report on the sundry civil appropriation bill iriw taken up and agreed to.

The conference report on the copyright bill was presented, explained by Senator Piatt (Conn.), and agreed to. There were two points, however, on which no agreement had been reaehed —the Sherman amendment allowing the Importation (on payment of tariff duties) of foreign copies of copyright books and the Ingalls amendment allowing the importation of newspapers and magazines, lleing satisfied that no copyright bill could become a law with these two amendments. Senator Piatt moved that the senate recede from them. A lengthy discussion followed. A division of Senator Piatt's motion having been called for the question vras taken, first on the motion to recede from the Sherman amendment. The motion was defeated—yeas, 28 nays, 33. So the Sherman amendment was insisted on. The same course was taken with the Ingalls amendment without a division and a further conference was ordered.

The senate then proceeded to the consideration of house pension bills on the calendar. After passing about sisty such bills the business was laid aside temporarily.

A resolution wus reported and agreed to directing the committee on finance to ascertain, in every practicable way, and to report from time to time the effect of the tariff laws upon the imports and exports, the growth, development and production, and prioes of agricultural and manufactured articles ut home and abroad, and upon wages, domestic and foreign, with authority to sit at such time and places as the committee may deem advisable.

Wlieu the senate met at 8 o'clock in the evening the passage of the house pension bills on the calendar was considered. All the house pension bills that were on the calendar were passed, their passage not occupying much more than an hour.

The conferrees on the diplomatic appropriation bill settled the only remaining point in dispute by striking out the proposition for a onble between the United States and Hawaii. The conference report on the post ofilce appropriation bill was agreed to.

The conference report on the copyright bill was then presented, read and explained by Senator Piatt. lie said it was the only agreement that could be reached, and that a failure to agree to it would be equivalent to a defeat of the bill. If the report were agreed to jt would provide that books which were on the free list under the McKinley bill (two copies) could be imported free of duty. It left out Senator Sherman's amendment. It left everyone at liberty to import two aopies of a foreign book by paying the duty on them, and it left newspapers and magazines to be imported provided they did not contain copyright matter. That was all there was to the agreement, and it took the place of all that the senate had been quarreling •bout. Senator Sherman said that in other words the senate conferrees had surrendered what had been twice voted for by decisive majorities of the senate. The effect of the proposition as it now stood was to make copyright an exclusive monopoly. It also took the heart and life out of the Ingalls amendment, and he would vote against it. Further discussion followed, and the vote was finally taken, the report being agreed to —yeas, 27 nays, 19.

The conference report on the agricultural appropriation was at 12:35 presented and agreed to. At 1:15 Wednesday morning the senate proceeded to exeoutivc business. When the doors were reopened the senate passed the bill miking provision for the payment gftht 88,900,000 bonds of the diststot

of Columbia falling due in January, 1891, and July, 1892. Senator Pasco (I'la.) at 2:25 a. ra. (Wednesday) moved to reconsider the vote agreeing to the cou:Vrenee report on the copyright bill and also moved that the house be requested to return the bill to the senate. The vote was taken on the latter motion and resulted —yeas, 13 nays, 22—no quorum.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, March 4.—When the house met Tuesday Mr. Cutcheoa (Mich.) submitted the conference report on the bill to increase the number of the board of managers of the national home for disabled volunteers.

Black, George W. Steele, James Barnett, J. H. Bonebrakc and Francis Fessenden. The report gave rise to some discussion, and pendiug action the conference report on I he legislative bill was presented. An agreement was reached on all questions except the senate amendment making senators' clerks annual employes. The report was adopted and a further conference ordered. The Cutcheon conference report was agreed to—yeas, 124 nays, 123—the speaker easting the deciding vote.

The house decided to non-concur in the senate amendments to the agricultural appropriation bill, and a conference was ordered. A resolution was adopted directing the house conferrees not to agree to the senate amendment appropriating S20.000 to enable the secretary of agriculture to collect and publish information as to the best methods of irrigating the region between the 97th degree of longitude and the eastern foothills of the Rocky mountain. The senate amendments to the deficiency bill were non-concurred in and a conference was asked for. A further conference was ordered on the pension appropriation bill. The conference report on the sundry civil bill was agreed to.

Mr. Hitt (111.) submitted the conference report on the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill. Mr. Hitt stated that the only subject which had been in dispute was the senate amendment relative to the Hawaiian island cable. The proposition as it now stood reduced the cost from S3,000,000 to 82,250,000 and provided that the government of the Hawaiian islands should pay one-third as much as our own. It further provided that the United States could at any moment take the whole property on payment of the actual cost of construction. After debate the conference report was rejected—yeas, 80 nays, 188. Mr. McCreary (Ky.) then offered a resolution instructing the conferrees on the part of the house to insist on their disagreement to the Hawaiian island cable provision. Agreed to.

A recess was taken until 8 p. m. In spite of the inclemency of the weather the galleries of the house were packed to their utmost capacity when that body met after the recess, and hundreds of persons unable to obtain ingress surged through the corridors. The conference report on the post office appropriation bill was agreed to. Mr. Funston (Kan.) submitted a disagreeing report on th^ agricultural appropriation bill and further conference was ordered. The conference report on the pension appropriation bill was agreed to. Mr. J. S. Taylor (0.) moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill to provide for a commission of five persons on the subject of the alcoholic liquor traflic. The motion was declared carried by 80 to f4.

The conference report on the Indian appropriation bill was agreed to. The senate amendments to the army reorganization bill were non-concurred in and a conference was ordered. Mr. Simonds (Conn.) submitted the conference on the copyright bill. The house agreed to the conference report and the bill now goes to the pres'JenU

AOnEKI) OX IX CONFERENCE. WASHINGTON. .March 4.—At 2 o'clock

this morning all the appropriation bills had been acted on except the general deficiency and the agricultural. The points of difference on the latter are not material. On the general deficiency bill the main contention is the French spoliation claims. Mr. Cannon and the other house conferrees will n.sk further instructions from the house in opposing these claims. In the pension appropriation bill the controversy over fees was settled on a basis of compromise. The Indian bill differences wore also settled. Tl)e army reorganization bill has been sent to the senate for conference.

As agreed upon in conference the agricultural appropriation bill contains the senate amendment allowing sorghum sugarinakers to use spirits free of tax. and the Stewart irrigation survey amendment with a reduction of the appropriation from 820,000 to $10,000. The senate conference receded from its amendment appropriating 820,000 for silk culture, this clause going out of the bill altogether. The house managers agreed to an appropriation of 8150,000 for the distribution of seeds to destitute citizens and of 545.000 for additional agricultural experiment stations.
