WASHINGTON, June 8.-The Senate. at
8 o'clock this morning, passed the sun
dry apportionment bill, with ninety two
amendments, including Kellogg's sup
Elemental force bill, extending the Fede-
raj election, the regulations of which
nov apply to cities OF 20, 600 inhabitants,
to all voting precincts. In the House,
the opposition to Kellogg's force bill,
which passed the Senate this morning.
is fighting to keep it on the Speakers
table. This will defeat the sundry ap-
preparation bill, which involves some
$780, 900, to which Kellogg's bill is an
amendment. It requires two-thirds of.
the House to- take action on the bill, and
as the Democrats seem determined; an
extra session is quite probable. A ma

The Senate met at O'Clock this even
ing. feoterday's session, over the sup
Elemental force bill, was very bitter. It
passed by 81 to IL. Sumner moved as
an amendment his civil rights bill. The
chairman, Mr.. Pomeroy, ruled it out of
order. Sumner appealed from the rul-
ing. but the Senate sustained Pome7oy-
yeas 5; nays 35.
In the House, bill removing several
political disabilities, passed. The sun
dry civil appropriation bill, with the
Senate amendments, was received in the
House at noon to-day. with resolution
that the Senate insists upon it's amend
ments, and asks for committee of con-
ference. Mr.. Garfield made the motion
chat the bill be taken from the Speakers
table and referred to the Committee on
Appropriations. The Democrats op.
posed this Act, as the Enforcement Act
had been put on the bill by the Senate,
and that amendment was Objectionable
to them. As the bill was on the Speak
er's table, it required two thirds vote to
take it up; but If it should be referred to
the Appropriation Committee. they could
report it back, and majority vote would
pass it. AS long as the bill remained on
the Speakers table, the Democrats had
the power to prevent its passage, and
this thoy announced to be their inten-
tion. unless the Objectionable amend.
ment was taken off. As the responsible
lity of putting it on rested with the
Senate, the Democrats proposed to lat
the bill and all amendments, except the
Enforcement Act, go to the COMMITTEES
to be reported back, and passed by q
majority vote-the Enforcement Act
to be reserved on the Speakers table,
under the two-thirds rule. Garfield
wouldn't agree to this, and the Demo
Gratis intimated that they would defeat
the bill rather than pass it with this
obnoxious amendment. The matter was
discussed for some time, when objeution
was made to a further discussion. and
the bill took its place on the Speakers
table. subsequently, Campbell, of Ohio,
offered q resolution, that the bill and
amendments be referred to the Com.
mittee on Appropriations. All the amend
ments will be reported back and passed
by majority vote. except the Enforce.

qulre two-thirds vote to pass it. This
