Tappan replied, that "aoageS were entirely too

down the banks, and reduce the price of labor and
the products Of the country. 1t will be the best

Mr.. RUGGLES introduced a resolution calling on
the President for a copy Of the survey made by the
British Commissioners in relation to the Northeastern
boundary, provided the communication of the same
would not be deemed incompatible with the public ser.
vice.
Mr.. BUCHANAN would state that only one copy Of
the report had been received, and that was an act OF
courtesy, as the report had not been adopted by the Bri
fish Government. The report in question was to &c
before the Parliament. This document had been sent
BY the President to the Committee on Foreign Relations
and he directed that when it had been used it might be
sent TO that committee in the House, after which il was
to be returned. Under these circumstances, he hoped
the Senator would not press his resolution.
Objection having been made, the resolution lies over.
LOUISVILLE AND PORTLAND CANAL.
On motion of Mr.. CRlTTENDEN, the Senate pro-
ceeded to consider the bill providing for the purchase by
the United States Of the stock in the Louisville and
Portland Canal Company.
The original bill simply provided for the purchase of
the stock not now belonging to the United States, at a
maximum price TO be fixed in the bill. For this The
Committee on Roads and Canals had reported a subs
stitute which provided for a survey with a view to the
improvement of the navigation of the channel Of the
river, over the falls, withuutSny regard TO the canal
further than TO avoid depriving it of water. The ques-
ton before the Senate was on this substitute.
Mr.. BENTON read a report from a member Of the
Engineer corps, (name unheard,D which stated that in
the very dry season of 1898, he had taken measures to
enlarge the channel over the falls % feet more in width,
and 20 inches in depth, and expressing the opinion that
the channel, without any injury, might be made navi-
gable at all times, at least TO descending If not to ascend
ing commerce, and the former, Mr.. B. stated, was By far
the greater portion Of the whole.
On motion Of Mr.. WRIGHT, the subject was laid
over till tomorrow.

IN SENATE

The Senate having been called to order by The Sc,
cretary, proceeded to vote for a President pro ten. On
the first ballot, the whole number of votes were 90, OF
which Hon. VIM R. King received go, and 6 were
scattering.
Mr.. KING, having been conducted to the Chair,
briefly remarked, that if the order which had hereto
fore prevailed in the Senate should continue, his duties
as presiding officer would be very easy; those duties
he would endeavor to perform faithfully, and he was
sure he would perform them honestly; and in case any
thing out of order should arise, he would endeavor to
restore order with a sincere desire not to iniure the
feelings of any one, and he hoped and expected to re-
ceiye that aid and>support Of the Senate which were
