a long debaty ensued, but finally the

!. Mr.. Wise again offered lr,s resolution

| The hour of oie O'Clock having elapsed
the House, Oh motion OF r. Cambreleng
resolved itseii into Comm ittec of the
Whole on the State of the Union-Mr.
Hamcr, of OHIO. IN the chair Oh the bill
making appropriations IN part for the
naval service, for lheycar 1886.
The pending question was on the mo-
ton, heretofore submitted by Mr.. Bell. of
Ten. to strike out the appropriation OF
S67 900 for improvements and repairs OF
the navy yard at Portsmouth, New Hamp~
shire.
Mr.. Storer moved that the Committee
rise, but withdrew his motion at the request
of,
Mr.. Cambreleng, who said that many
members, inclading himself, were anxious
to be heard on the subject Of the surplus
revenue and the public expenditures, but
the public interests had suffered 40 much
from the delay Of the passage ofthe Naval
Service Bill that it was now absolutely
necessary to come to a decision upon il.
He should therefore waive his right tn
speak Oh this subject at present, and
hoped others would do the same. He
should bring up a bill for the military SER
vice ofthe U. States, to which he should
move all amendment, making an extraor-
diuary appropriation Of one million of dol
lars for that service. This would afford
suitable occasion for the continuance OF
this discussion, and. in his opinion, more
tit occasion than the present bill. He
would propose. therefore, that after the
gentleman from Virginia should conclude
his remarks tomorrow, this bill should
BE- passed, and he would pledge himselfas
soon as 1t aud the general civil and di-
plomatic bin had passed, TO move the
amendment which he had indicated to the
bill making appropriations for the support
of the army. lie made this proposition
at the request Of the Committee Of Ways
and means, who were unwilling longer
to take the responsibility of leaving the
department without dollar for supply.
Mr.. Pe,t asked whether the
gentlemen was authorized by his party
to give a pledge, that an opportunity
should be afforded for continsing the dis
cussion, and not for his friends.
! Mr.. Cambreleng said he could only re-
ply, that it was the unanimous wish ofthe
Committee, that he should make this pro-
position.
h Mr.. Thompson, Of s. c. suggested that
the extraordinary appropriations in this
bill for the Navy Yards should be with.
drawn; after which there would be no
objection to the passage ofthe annual ap-
preparations for pay and subsistence, &c.
MIR. Storer renewed the motion that
the committee rise, which was agreed to-
/ An adjournment was now moved and
negalived /. and the House took up and
passed fourteen engrossed private bills
lying on the Speakers table,
The House then adjourned.
