HOUSE OF KEpKEsENTATIvEs.


The House proceeded to consider the bill
concerning the rights of American citizens
in foreign States.
Mr.. CHANDLER addressed the House
in criticism of the bill, liking it to Niaga-
ra. The title of the bill, he said, was the
roar, and the bill itself was the tall, and
great was the fall thereof.
MesSrs. Roger and Woodward also made
remarks.
The bill then went over to the morning
hour on Tuesday.
Mr.. BLAIR. from tho Appropriation
committee, report d the army appropria-
ton bill amounting to $25,000,000. It con-
tains provisions for the gradual reduction
of the army, until the military force is re-
duced to twenty-five regiments OF infan-
try, seven regiments OF cavalry, and five
regiments of artillery. No new commits
sion shall be issued in any regiment except
to West Point cadets as Second Lieu
tenants. The Secretary of War is directed
to consolidate regiments as rapidly as
the requirements OF the public service
aud reduction in the number of officers will
be permitted until the foregoing minimum
is reached. This provision is not to be con-
strued so as to deprive any officer in COM
mission of promotion that may be open to
him by the occurrence of vacancies among
his superiors in rank. Such promotions
however are to be always made, so as to
of regiments.
Mr.. BLAINE explained briefly the Items
of the bill referred to the committee of the
Whole on the state on the Union. and made
the special order for February 18th.
The House went into committee of the
Whole, MIR. Wilson, of Iowa, in the chair,
and resumed consideration of the military
academy appropriation bill.
A number of amendments were offered
and rejected, and the the bill laid aside to
be reported to the House.
The committee then took up as a special
order the bill making appropriations for
legislative, executive and judicial expenses
of the Government. and having been read
at length, the committee rose, and the
House proceeded to the consideration of
the West Point bill.
Mr.. .WASHBURNE. of Illinois, who had
reported the bill, made an argument
against the amendment adopted by the
committee yesterday, on motion of MIR.
Schenck, striking out the item of 81 600 for
expenses of board of visitors to academy.
The amendment was rejected and the item
restored. The bill then passed.
The House again went into committee on
the legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill. Without disposing OF the
bill, the House adjourned.
