The amendment known as Shermans
amendment telegraphed in full last night,
was rejected. Yeas As, nays 13l. This is
| the amendment assessing damages on local
tiles where disturbances occur.
The other amendments, most of them i'm
material, were cOncurred in, and a COM
mittee of conference ordered Messrs.
! Shellabarger, Schotield and Kerr were ap-
pointed on the part of the House. House
then adjourned.
The following is a full synopsis of the
| Senate proceedings on the amnesty resolu-
| ton. Dir. Robertson moved to take up his
amendment to the order of business, SO as
| allow the House amnesty bill to be CON
sidered at the present session. Mr.. Conk-
| hing remarked that this being Saturday the
Senate was very thin, number OF Senators
having left the city with the understanding
| that only executive business should be
considered He hoped the motion would
be deferred till next week
Mr. Robertson replied that he had given
| tive days previous notice of the motion, and
insisted on a vote.
| Mr. Trumbull did not think the Senate
! 80 thin as represented. 1t was the fullest
| Senate he had ever known for Saturday.
| He hoped no friend of amnesty would allow
the subject to be postponed in that way
| Mr. Wilson thought the time had come to
act upon the subject, and he would so
| vote.
Mr.. Chandler moved an executive ses-
| sion, which was lost by vote of l6 to 95
MIR. Morrill,, of Vermont, submitted a
| proposition Withdrawing his objection to
Mr.. RobertsOn's motion on condition that
final vote on amnesty should not be taken
until the Ku-Klux bill had passed both
houses.
Mr.. Robertson acquiesced, but several
Senators declined to be bound by any such
arrangement.
hr. Sawyer was of opinion that after the
bill which passed yesterday, no more on
perfume moment than the present could be
found for passing the amnesty bill. His
own belief had been that there was an
understanding that the subject should be
considered to-day.
Mr.. Frelinghuyseu urged that a vote be
deferred upon the pending motion.
During further discussion, Mr.. TrumbulI
charged that the efforts of the opponents of
the bill for delay were purpOseiy designed
to defeat action on the measure, and warned
its friends that it would be next to impossi-
Die to have it acted on if they now allowed
it to 60 over.
Mr. FreliRghuysen then renewed the mo-
ton for an executive session, upon which
Mr.. Thurman demanded the yeas and NAYS

Latest: 1890 p. M-There is nothing
official or explicit about the operations
around Paris,
who have been openly approached saw all
have adhered to their original agreement to
consider their proceedings and progress
confidential; notwithstanding which this
mornings New York Herald has the follow
ing Washington special:
The following is the basis of settlement
of the Alabama claims agreed upon by the
joint high commission. The responsibility
OF England for the depredations by the
piratical cruisers fitted out in her waters is
accepted as a political maxim between the
United States and Great Britain; both
these powers also pledging themselves to
make Efforts for general international &C.
ceptanee OF the same view. The claims at
present under consideration to be submitted,
for veriticatiOn and auditing, TO a new
commission of five men, one named |
by the President, ono by the queen, and one |
each, respectively, by the President of |
Switzerland, the King of Italy and the En- |
peror of Brazil. These commissioners are |
to be sworn like jurors. That thew have
formed no previous, immOVable opinion, and |
have no prejudices in the matter, but will |
decide altogether upon the evidence as thew |
receive it; they shall be cOgnizant 81 |
and adopt the maxim accepted nv
the present commission, however rela- |
tive to the responsibility, and viii /
eOnfne themselves altogether 60 me |

and signing checks, which will be PAYABLE
on their Endorsement, for anv
sums which our insurance companies, ship
owners and merchants generally are able,
legltimately, to sum mp against England.
After this commission gets through, another
commission of three, enc appointed by the
Emperor Of Russia ar3 the other two by
the President and the queen, will wind NJ
the odds and ends. The main is, it seems.
that the final payment Of cash on these
claims Is to be delayed almost indefinitely.
