MIR. IngersoIf rose aud offered the
following resolution:
II Resolved, That special committee
be appointed TO inquire into the circu'n'
/ STANCES of the rencoMrs ON ihe floor o
this House between Messrs. Wise and
Stanley, ,neHbers Of this House, and to
report thereon 10 the House.
1 Mr.. Andrews Of Ky. said that at the
last Congress a Committee had been ap.
pointed on similar sub bject when a sim
liar occurrence had taken place. How
that investigation ended every body
knew. lie was opposed to the appoint
ment oc committee. He considered
the former Occ urrence disgraceita TO the
House, as he considered this. He iho'l
that the two members engaged deserved
to be expelled, and he believed they
should be expelled now, upon the spot,
and without further delay.
[Crics in many parts Of the House,
"Agreed-agTeed."
There was no other way in which the
House could vindicnte its character and
its dignity. The committee appointed in
u similar case at the last Congress had
done noihing--had recommended no
,hing-and the indisniiy which had been
offered 10 the House and the country
went unpunished and unrebuked. lie
was for no committee--it would DO q
mere white washing aflair-a mere hum
bug, such as we had heretofore had.
MIR. A. moved to lay the resolution ol
Mr.. Ingersoll on the table, with view
to offer one for the immediate expulsion
of II. A. Wise.
This motion was lost, and by aid Of the
previous question, MIR. lngersoll's reso-
luton was carried, and the committee
was ordered to consist Of Z members.
The House then resumed the consid-
eration of the Diplomatic bill, and non-
conc urrcd with the Senate in the striking
out the appropriation for Naples, and,
amid much confusion, adjourned.
In SENATE, Friday, Sept. l0.-The
Senate recedcd from its anne endment to
the Diplomatic Appropriation bill, (strik-
ing cut the item for Charge At Nnples,)
the other differences were harn'ODized, I,
and the bill passed.
Tn motion Of Mr.. Bayard, the Senate
re solved hereafter TO employ corps OF
Reporters, not exceeding five in num-
ber, 10 report fully and faithfully the
Proceedings and Debates Of that body
for general publication.
Mr.. Clay, from tho Committee of con-
ference on the Revenue bill, reported
the following substitute for the differing
twenty per cent. provisions Of tho two
HOUSES, which was adopted:
provided, That If, in virtue Of this
section, any duties exceeding the rate OF
twenty per cenlum advaloren,, shall be
levied prior to the 3Oth Of June, 1912,
the same shnll not in any wise affect the
disposition Of the proceeds Of the public
lands, rs provided for by an act passed
a, the present session OF Congress And
provided further, That no duty higher
than twenty per centun', advalorem, ia
virtue Of said section, shalt be levied and
paid on any manufactured article"

Session, and 50 remained until its adjourn.
