make report from The Committee Of Con-
ierence on the Kansas bill.
Mr.. Stuart raised objections, which pro.
voked long discussion OF the point, that
Parliamentary law gave 10 the House the
possession Of the bill, and the Senate not
having the bill before them could not pro-
ceed TO ITS consideration.
Mr. Stuart asserted his belief that the
bin was in the possession Of the House,
but
Mr.. Brodsrick informed The Senate thai
within four minutes The bill had been laid
on Mr.. Green's desk. A member Of the
Honse, viz: Mr. Harris Of Illinois, having
informed him (Broderick) that il was sur
reptitiously taken out Of the House.
Mr.. Green rspudiated the surruptitious-
w., but the bill was on his desk, having
been brought from the Secretary's Office,
After further discussion, Dir. Stuart
moved that The report be moi received al
present.
The chair decided that Mr.. Green had
the floor to present the report, which he did
with few predatory remarks. He said
that The report might oct come up 70 the ex.
pectaiions Of everybody. II xas founded

THE COLLINS STEAMERS,

Some Of our exchange papers troubling themselves
lest the collins steamships should be sold by foreco
at auction for the benefit of the United States gov
crnmcnt Such fears we can assure them arc wholly
groundess Under the original contract for the cstab
lishment of this line the government agreed to advance
equal to years pay 1885, ,000l to the projcc
tors taking lien the Atlantic and Baltic and allow
this debt to be liqudaed by dcducng ten per cent from
the annual subsidy until the claim extnguished
When the boats ceased to rum there remained $ll5 900
of this money unpaid and when the sale of all the prop
ory made to advances to the company, the
government attempted to prevent 1t by insisting on its
lien, This met by counter claim on the part Of
the company showing that the United States treasury
was the debtor, the Post Office Department having with
held from the company not only this Sl5000 but nearly
$4,000 besides, plea of non-periormancc OF con-
tract This seto allowed by the court as sufficient
dissolve the Injunction and the right OF the company
in the boats extinguished by the sale which then
took place The lien thus pronounced imperative has
been again revived and attempt recently made to
sell the Atlantic satisfy this $4,000 The sale was
postponed, and the nominal government title to the
boats will be extnguishcd by ab to discharge the mort
gage of record, already fully satisfied The whole
claim under the icn) it stands is matter OF
form but the publication of the legal advertisements
has called forth remarks outside of the city, we
have deemed it proper TO make this explanation
