CONGRESS-.
The Senate did not sit on Friday.

In the House Of Representatives
The following resolution, offered some days
since by MIR. Adams. came up IN course:
Rssoived, Tina, the President Of the United
States be requested to communicate 10 thls
House, so far as in his opinion may be proper.
the correspondence between the Government OF
the United States and the Republic OF Buen"s
Arres, which has resulted in the departure of
The Charge d, Affairs Of the Unled States from
tina, city. ,..
Mr.. Adams modified the resolution by adding
tho wo,ds and instructions to said Charge d.
Affar,." >,
n. said that he did not know TIA: there would
be any opposition to this resolution. II tc'ateed
TO the question between the United States and
the Government of Buenos tyres. Mr. A.
here quoted thu M-s,age u the President at the
onenino of the last session. in which the dilhcu.
~ with the Go, eminent at Buenos Avres is stat
ed, and the intention of sending out Charge
d'AffaiIs t" settle it The Minister had been
sent accordingly. but after some negotiation, he
had returned without etf.c'ing an adjustment OF
our difficulties With that Government. Before
his return tn. Executive had declared in his Mes
sage of this year
al refrain from making any communication
on the subject Of our affairs with Buenos Ayres,
because the negotiation communicated TO you I'D
nv last annual message was, at the date OF our
last advices, still pending. and IN state that
would render publication OF the details mex
pedient"
Since the date of this communication the nego-
tiations referred to had terminated, aud the
Charge had returned. 1t appeared to Mr.. A.
that the subect'was one which deserved the at
tention of Congress. The country seemed to
& al. ~ nj
America in a condition approaching 10 STATE
of war. 1t was the duty OF Congress TO ascer'
tain what was the nature of our difference with
iha, Government, and whether any measures
were necessary for the protection Of the commerce
of the People OF the United States. There was
an additional reason for the adoption oil the re-
SOLUTION. Since the rupture Of the negotiation,
he Government of Buenos Ayres had publish
ed m the Spanish Language the correspondence
between the two Governm n,s. tge'her with
a communication from the BYen0s A,rean Mi
mister of Foreign Affairs 10 that Republic. IN
which it was represented that that Government
had cause of complaint against the Government
of the United States; and there was reason 10
believe that the impression existing there was
strongly against the United States. The Mi.
mister there stated that his Government had
clam for indemnity on this country for outrases
committed against its citizens, and for which
they should rely upon the justice o. the United
States. Under these circumstances he had deem
ed it his duty TO present this resolution.
Mr.. Archer Chairman Of the Committee OF
Foreign Reations) observed that there Was no
ground to fear war with Buenos Ayres. 1t
was true that the negotiations between the two
Governments had been suspended: but that OF
Buenos Ayres had since then manifested dis
position to renew il at this place. He presum-
ed there could not be the least objection TO tul
sclosure Of all the resolution called for.
The resolution was then agreed to.
The following resolution offered by Mr.. Wick
life, next came up for considerations:
Resoired, That the President Of the United
States be requested to cause to be laid before the
House list of all appointments made BY the Exc.
cutive since the 18th Of April. 1896. from the
Of Congress during their term Of ser.
vioe, and for twelve months thereafter; stating
the names OF the persons appointed; the State or
Territory By them represented; the time when
hey were appointed; the nature OF the appoint
ment conferred; and the amount Of salary or
heir emoIuments received BY virtue Of such ap-
pointment.
Mr.. Foster said that he had never opposed any
call for information IN that House provided he
the information sought BY it to be use.
