WASHINGTON, June -House-There is
much opposition to Mr.. Kellogg's force bill
| which passed the Senate this morning and
they are fighting to keep it on the table
| This will defeat the sundry appropriation
bill, which involves $3,000,000, to which
Kellogg's bill is an amendment.
1t requires of the House to take up the
bill, and as the Democrats seem determined
ON an extra session, tits quite probable a
majority win pass the bill in extra session.
A bill removing several disabilities was
passed.
The sundry civil appropriation bill, with
the Senate amendments, was received in
the House at noon to-day, with a resolution
stating that the Senate insists on the
amendments, and asks for committee of
conference.
Mr.. Garfield made the motion that the
bill be taken from the Speakers table and
referred to the Committee on ApprOpria-
tinns.
The Democrats opposed this act, as the
enforcement act had been put on the bill
by the Senate, and that amendment was
Objectionable 10 them.
As the bill was ON the Speakers table. it
required a twO-thirds vote to take it up,
but If it could be referred to the ApprO-
priatiOn Committee, they could report it
back, and 1t 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 they an
nOunced it to be their intention, unless the
Objectionable amendment was taken off,
as the responsibility OF putting it on rested
with the Senate. The Democrats made
the proposition to let the bill and all tie
amendments, exeept the enforcement act,
go to the committee TO be reported back
and passed by majority vOte-Jle en-
fOrcement act to be served on the Speak
er's table under the I ~O-thirds rule.
Mr.. Garfield would rot agree to this. and
the Democrats intimajri that they would
defeat the bill rather than pass ii with this
obnoxious amendment.
The matter was discussed for some time,
when objection was mace to further dis
cussion, and the bill took its place on the
Speakers table.
Subsequently. Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio,
offered a resolution that the bil and amend
ments be referred to the Comm tee on Ap-
propriations, all amendments to ID reported
back and passed by a majority vote, except
the enforcement act amendment, which
should require a twO-thirds' vote 10 pass it.
This resolution the Speaker refused to en-
tertain, upOn point of order raised by Mr.
HOar, Of Massachusetts, and declared that
the effect OF it was an effort of the minority
to reserve to themselves the right to defeat
the bill against the wishes Of the majority
Mr.. Beck then offered a resolution declar-
ing that the action of the Senate in putting
on this amendment was in violation of the
constitution of the United States, and di-
recting the Clerk of the House to return
the bill to the Senate with the request that
they Tescind their action on the enforce
ment act amendment. Upon this Mr.. Beck
moved to suspend the rules and pass it.
This motion was defeated by vote OF sew
enty-four yeas to ninety-seven nays.
Mr.. Garfield then moved TO suspend the
rules and refer the bill to the Committee on
Appropriations, and this was negati7ed By
a strict party vote. Yeas-ninety seven.
Nays-sixty-sev 1t required a twO-thirds
vote.
The House then resumed other business.
An all night session probable.
iSeHdte-Met at six o'clock this evening.
Yesterdays session, which continued to
nine o'clock this morning, was very bitter
on the supplemental enforcement bill 1t
passed by thirty-One to twelve.
The sundry appropriation bill had nine
ty-two amendments, including kellogg's
supplemental force bill extending the tede-
raj election regulations, which apply now
to cities of 10000 inhabitants to all voting
precincts.
Mr.. Sumner moved as an amendment his
his civil rights bill, but the chairman, Mr.
Pomeroy, ruled that it was out of order.
Mr.. Sumner appealed from the ruling
but the Senate sustained Mr. Pomeroy-
yeas, 5 nays, 35.
Both houses of Congress have adopted
the conference report upon appropriation
for awards of the Southern Claims Commits
sion. The House is still fihbustering over
the supplemental force bill. There seems
to be prospect of compromise, but in anv
event the passage Of the force bill this
session Is very improbable. The Senate
agreed to conference report on steamboat
bill. House not yet acted. Details Of the
report beyond reach tonight.
The sundry appropriation bill was re- I
tered by the House to the committee on
conference.
1t is hoped the Senate will recade from
he force bill amendments. but, il any
went, the minority of the House retains
control OF the matter, and in the defeat of
ne amendment a failure Of the aPproprl-
ltIon bill or an extra session is involved.
Both houses have agreed to the confer
,nce report on river and haTbor and the
OrttficatiOn bills
The House meets at eight and the Senate
1t nine o'clock Monday morning.
The bill relieving the OOndsmen OF eE-
Postmaster Marks, deceased, of New Or
cans, passed both houses, and goes TO the
resident.
Representative Holman's proposition in
he House. to reduce the tolls Of the Louis
lille canal, was engrafted on the river and
arbor bill in the Senate, and has been |
oncurred in by the House, thus fixing the !
oils at FIVE cents per ton.
