Mr.. Fitch of Nevada, MOVED to suspend the
rules and return to its place on the Speaker
table the Senate bill of last session relating to
the Central branch of the Union Pacific Rail-
road 1S;. Negatived. 115 to IS; less than two
thirds being in the affirmative.
Mr. Banks of Massachusetts, moved TO sus.
pend the rules and pass concurrent resolution
resembling the resolution passed last Monday,
which was referred to the special committee
on subject of ocean telegraph cable legislation.
nurrledly and without being understood by
the House, which had already referred the sub
Ject to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. He
SAID the subject involved appropriations to the
amount of $4,000 600 or 1925 100000. One en-
terprise alone called for a subsidy of ten mill
lions, and there are four or five others which
would follow in the same wake. The subject
mas been considered for five months by the
committee on Foreign Affairs and that COM
mlttee are ready to report.
MIR. Stark weather of Connecticut, who Of
tered the resolution Monday, opposed its being
reconstructed and advocated the propriety OF
having the subject referred to joint select
committee, as no less than thirteen bills on the
SUBJECT had been referred in the Senate and
House to various committees. The chairman
OF the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs
had stated in the Senate to-day that the com
mittee would not report this session, thus leav-
ing the whole business of ocean telegraphing
10 the hands of monopoly that charges triple
rates.
The question was further discussed by Messrs.
Butler Of Massachusetts, Mearfield and Dawes
against the resolution offered by Mr.. Banks,
and by Messrs. Judd, Wood and Myers in sup.
port of it.
The motion of Mr.. Banks to suspend the
rules and rescind the resolution of last Mon
day was rejected, l03 to 80, not two-third, vot-
ing in the affirmative. Mr.. Banks thereupon
asked leave to report now from the Committee
on Foreign Affairs bill on the subject Of
ocean telegraphs.
Mr.. Arnell OF Tennessee, objected.
Mr.. Banks moved to suspend the rules in
order that such bill might be reported now
The rules were suspended without di Vision.
Mr.. Banks said he would not ask the House
to considerable bill now
Mr.. Starkweather-We want it considered
now; If the gentleman has bill let him report
it.
Mr.. Wood of New York, thereupon from the
Committee on Foreign Affairs reported bill
relating to telegrapaic communication between
the United States and foreign countries, and
moved the previous question on its passage.
The previous question was seconded and the
bill passed without discussion or division. Ad-
iOurned
