! After discussion the bill went over.
| Mr.. Ketchum, from the Conference
Committee on the St. Croix and Lake
| Supeperior Land Grant Bill, reported
that the Committee had been unable to
agree. He moved the House insist on its
action, ond that another Conference Com.
mittee be appointed,
| Mr.. Scofield moved that the House re-
cede from its action, which would have
the effect Of passing the bill as it came
from the Sen tie. ,
Mr.. Holman moved that the House ad-
here to its action, which would make 1t
final.
The vote was then taken on Mr.. Hol-
mans motion to adhere to its former &C.
ton, and the motion was agreed to-
yeas, 10; nays, 64.
This amounts to a rejection Of the Fill,
as the substitute adopted by the House,
and to which it voted to adhere, was to
declare that the land in question revert
ed to actnal settler.
The bill to carry out the provisions of
the Treaty of Washington came up, as
the special order, and was on motion of
Mr.. Banks, and against the objections of
Cox, postponed sour weeks.
Fernando Wood, this moraing, in the
Committee on Foreign Affairs, called up
Representative Peters resolution, which
declares that the claims on the part of
our Government for indirect damages
should be waived before the tribunal of
arbitrators, etc, at Geneva, and on Woods
motion, the chairman, Gen. Banks, was
requested to communicate with Secretary
Fish on the subject, and TO report to the
committee on Thursday next. There
were some incidental remarks, which drew
out the opinion that the presentation of
the claims for indirect damages was cal
culated to prevent an amicable adjust
ment of the d differences between the United
States and Great Britain, and something
was said as to the propriety of reporting
Peters resolution to the House with the
view of obtaining Congressional opinion
on the subject.
Mr. Wood introduced bill directing
the Secretary of the Treasury to set apart
twenty millions of coin in the treasury
and issue twenty five millions of legal
tenders, to be placed in the hands Of the
Assistant Treasurer at New York, Chica |
go, Philadelphia and Boston, to be loaned |
by them on pledge of United States bonds, |
under certain stipulations. The bill is |
entitled IAN act to prevent the contrac-
ton ane expansion Of the money market, |
and give elasticity ty currency"
Mr.. Cox, from the Committee on Rules,
rule excluding from admission
to the floor of the House ex members Of
Congress, who do not declare on honor
that they have no personal or private in
terest in any legislative measure before
the House or any of its committees the
intent being to exclude ex-members who
are engaged in lobbying.
Without disposing of the resolution, the
House adjourned.
