which passed over the road during the
night. and the express train at sharp speed
was led from its own track against the
locomotive of the immigrant train. The
only person killed was brakeman on the
express train, Thomas Swayne, OF Phila.

MIR. Logan said what the country de-
manded was action on Cuban affairs.
Outrages have been perpetrated in Cuba
until the blood of American citizens cried
out from the ground. The Government
should show at least that il had some SYM
patty with the struggling people of that
island.
Mr.. Garfield ridiculed the statement Of
Mr. Phillips, and represented him as
undeserving of credit, having despoiled his
predecessor in office, Gen. Steedman, who
died there, and evaded giving his widow
and family any account of the circum'
stances of his death, or making restoration
of the money and effects be had taken

Mr.. Logan knew nothing about Mr..
Phillips; one thing however, was true, that
American citizens had been shot and killed
by blood thirsty Spaniards in Cuba, and
that American citizens were not safe there

the Senate proceeded with the legisla
tive appropriation bills, the question
being upon the motion of Mr.. Chandler to
insert in the bill the entire river appropri-
atoms as an amendment to the motion of
Mr.. Sherman to appropriate $3.50, 600 for
the completion Of the Louisville canal.
After some discussion, both amendments
were withdrawn.

Fifteenth Amendment.
Mr.. Stewart presented the report of the
conference committee on the differences
between the two houses on the Fifteenth
Amendment bill.
MIR. Stewart said that the amendments
did not alter the essential features of the
bill. The word indictment was inserted in
order to conform with the requirements Of
the eighth section Where the ofiense is
infamous the punishment must be by in
dictment; where not infamous, it may be
by indictment or presentment of grand
jury. his proviso was intended to simplify
the evidence, by requiring, where
man fraudulently voted the whole
ticket burden, Of proof to show that the
name Of member of Congress was upon
the ticket should not rest upon the Gov
ernment. If he votes fraudulently at an
election where the votes are taken for q
Congressman, it shall be presumed he
voted fraudulently for such person.
Section II of the bill was drawn for a
specific purpose. 1t authorized a candi-
date to go to the United States Courts and
give effect to the votes of persons
offering to vote at the election bat
denied that right by reason of race
or color or their previous condition
of servitude. For instance if in any
Southern State a candidate for sheriff re-
ceived one thousand white votes, and
there were l,500 colored voters ready to
vote for him, but were excluded, he may
go into court and have those 800 votes
counted for him. The Conference Com
mittee had merely redrawn the section in
more guarded language, so as to express
this purpose more clearly.
After the discussion, it was agreed that
the vote be taken. upon the report to-
morrow afternoon at three O'Clock.
