In the senate to-day, considerable sensation was Gre
by the Cuban resolutions reported u"h thC NVi
mittec on Foreign Relations Whenthe resolutions were
reported lively time Immediately anticipated, for
the burning words Of Senators sympathizng with strug
Ring Cuba cosai scarcely be Tepressed while Mr.. sum
ner read the resolutions. When the reading was con
elUded several Senators their feet, but all de-
hate was cut of by the surly conduct of Mr.
Casserlv who insisted that the subject should
not be considered until the resolutions were printed
Some discussion cnsued by reason Of Mr.. Stewart
asking action his BILL designed to break up the i'm
portation Of Chinese laborers into this country Mr.
Wilson wanted the b passed at once, and declared un
quainedy that he opposed to bringing in degraded
labor to compete with the worldngmen of our country
MIR Casserly opposed this bill also, and succeeded in
sending ID over The Tax bill then up and the de
bae the income tax resumed and continued until
the hour Of recess session having been ordered for to-
night for the consideration OF the Southern Pacific Rail
road bill.
The resolutions to-day reported from the Senate For
eign Relations Committee by Mr. Sumner concerning
Cuba received here by Cuban partisan with express
son Of satisfaction aud the views Of Mr. sumner which
seem TO have undergone temperate modification, are
commended with unusual zeal The resolutions sub
stanaly the same those offered by Mir. Morton sew
sYal months ago, and are regarded enunciang the
principle OF the Monroe Doctrine as apphca-
BILE to the colonies of foreign Governments on
this continent. They do indeed, in substance
deny the colonial titles to European Governments
The resolutions also recognize what has never
before been done" The Cuban insurgents as fellow
Americans in Cuba" 1t claimed that If the resolu-
lions pass both Houses Spain will be placed in an
embarrassing attitude, in being officially Informed by
the United States Government that such and such
things are expected OF her. else the friendly feelings
between The two Governments VIII be endangered The
resolutions referred 90 unanimously agreed to IN
the Committee except by Mr. Cassery who refused MS
approval They will be called up by MI Sumner ton0r-
row. after the morning hour, and members of the Com
Inittce BsIieye they viii pass without material oppo-
sition.
In the Honse. to-day, the new Apportionment bin
came up the first thing as unfinished business The bin
provides approximation for the House Of 300 mem
bers under the census increase Of 60 over the
present number OF this increase the states east Of the
AIeghancs receive H. while the remainder 20 to the
South and West. The Western members under the lead
Of Judd took an unusual interest in the BILL starting ont
with the determination 10 pass il at all hazards Tie
strong objection T. the bin was that the increased
representation would make IL necessary for those States
entitled 70 the increase elect members at large for the
reason Tia. the elections occur in the coming Autumn
and the dstlCtug the States cannot be effected
until the legislature meet in Winter. Twice the pre-
vious question ives voted down. and finally, after nearly
four hours Of debate the bin referred 10 the Com
mittcc the judiciary b. the close vote OF % 10 g.
Ressr Scc6cd Van W. Oh Hale Latin, and Ward fought
the bill hJId iu the debate while Judd
Logan, aud Beck rs strongly advocated its
adoption. Mr. Marshall offered an amendment 10 secure
the better repres ntut0u OF mnOrites, and was ably
1bc friends the do not consider it lost by auy
,neAas and will try rush It through III new form,
under suspension Of rules, before the session ends
After this had been disposed Of Gen Butler re-
ported bill for TIC admission OF Georgia in the nature
OF substitute 10 the senate bill. This led 10 an ami
mated scene OF nearly an hours duration, in
which Messrs Bulier ana Farnswofth again
came in collision but the House escaped
anything like repetition Of Yesterdays scene. After
Butler had ,epogd his b he yielded to Dawes, who, in
Rspirit correlation between the factions, offered
substitute which ne thought would secure harmony, and
pass without wasting tine. PaIpswOrh afterward tried
t. get ina the Bingham amendment, claiming that he
authorized hy majority Of the Reconstruction Commit
Tee to report H. On thia there appeared he a msun-
derstanding between him and Butler but after a deal

not only Famsworth be allowed to offer his amendment

went further and asked that the House agree upon the

peace, and tc-mDirOw the vote is TO be taken.
IL seems probable that discussion the Tax aud

although Messrs. Morton. Sherman and some of tine
strongest men are IN favor OF continuing IT, and win
strongly resist its sbrogatfon In the case ~ ia ,ho
