WASHINGTON, February A. -Senate.-Sum-
ner'S resolution calling for information re-
gardin@ the sale of public arms to France
occupied the entire day, and the Senate adj
iourned without action. The discussion was
bitter, and was confined to the Republicans.
Messrs. Conkling, Morton, and other Grant
men, prolcSsed to be willing to investigate,
but denounced the resolution as an attack
on the Administration.
NIr. sumner insisted that it was desired
for the vin,liczltion Of the United States
Government from the suspicion entertained
by Germany and the present French Gov
ernment He made long speech, showing
t!lal the United States Government sold arms
to acknowledgements Remington d
Son--as al agent Of the French Government,
and that the French Government paid more
than our Government received.
Messrs. Wilson, Harlan, and Conkling, de-
Tended the Administration, and asserted that
the War Department had accounts for all
arms sold, and iad no knowledge that Rem
n.t0u and Richardson acted for the French
Government.
House.-Thc Committee of Ways and
Means introduced Il bill abolishing the tariff
OH tea and coffee, which was referred to {;

Sale of Arms by the Govern

Special telegram to the Dispatch.

Special telegram to the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, DC, February 14.-Sumner
called up his resolution to-day inquiring into
the sale Of arms by the Government imme-
diately upon the meeting ofthe Senate. There
was 4 lively debate upon taking it up, several
senators fearing it would lead to political
discussion, and Sherman warned the majority
not to allow their advcrSaries to drive them
into wrangling debate every time they choose
to "shakc the red flag in their faces" The
resolution, however, was taken up, and took
the place of the Legislative appropriation bill,
which WAS in order rs unfinished business.
Sumner made long speech, arguing it was
the duty Of the Government to make careful
inquiry as to who the persons were to whom
they sold arms, and not to run the risk of
violating our obligation is a neutral Power.
Wilson, chairman Of The Military Commit
tee, declared that our Government had never
sold Il dollars worth Of arms to the French
Government, or to any man whom they knew
to be its agent. Several other senators par
ticimted in the debate, though Sumner occu-
pied most of the time. There was an eXhi-
biti0n Of fear on the part of the majority that
they were to lie drawn into 4 serious wran-
gle, which just at this time they are endeayor-
ing to avoid The resolution will come up
again tomorrow.
Sumner to-day, alludiug to the fears of GER
tain senators that he would attack General
Grant, said he would not introduce his name
in his speech nor allude to him. Schllrz will
speak tomorrow, and will only stir up an
angry debate. TMoN.
