lsh government to the article as amended by the
Senate, with view of putting in treaty form
declaration against indirect damages, which
the United States have now abandoned, and
which Great Britain asserts she never claimed
Tor herself as against other powers
During the consideration of the subject in the
executive session, it was thought at times that
the article would fail in receiving the requisite
vote OF two-thirds owing to the contratriety of
views presented Not less than six amend
ments were offered to effect the desired end.
IL Is believed that Great Britain will assent to
the modification of the article, as she now, with
the Y nlted States, is anxious for the tribunal of
arDitration to proceed without further hindrance.
According to report, the debate ON the subject
peIore the Senate was earnest throughout. The
majority OF those who participated in it being
influenced by desire to remove the obstruc-
IONS IN a way which would preserve the nation
az dignity, while few others were inflexible in
thelr opposition to assent to the waving of the
Chains; Conflicting reports prevail as to the
vote advising and consenting to the Presidents
nnegotating the treaty on the proposed basis,
put 40 against seems to be the most reliable
statement A number of Senators though
present, did not vote. .t -.rt.
IL is stated thai one of the principal amend
ments to the supplementary article as first pro-
posed, is change of language covering the
agreement with reference to indirect claims for
the future so to include all indirect ana Incl
dental claims. ,Iu the rule proposed by Great
britain the words, "Such claims were used
A strict Interpretation would have confined the
agreement of the parties to such indirect claims
only as are the subject of the present contro-
versy Therefore it is provided that the rule
shall cover in broader terms that no direct or
indirect claims shall be presented by the one
nation against the other for failure to observe
neutrality. The vote was strictly non-partizan

tne attention OF the Senate to a report in a New
fork paper representing him to have said in
executive session that Great Britain should
have been promptly notified, when she propos-
ed to break up the tribunal, that the result
would be war.
There is not, said Mr.. Sumner, a Senator with
in che hearing of my voice who does not know
never uttered such thing in executive ses-
sion or in open session. have no right to state
what | or anybody else did say in executive ses-
sion, but have the right to vindicate myself
against calumny and to deny speeches falsely
attributed to me.
Mr.. West reported bill to reimburse Kan
sas for war expenses, $337,000.
Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont, called up the bill for

Mr.. Pool called up the bill to establish Wes-
tern Judicial District in North Carolina No
action was taken ON the bill
The bill for the appointment of a labor and
wages commission was taken up, laid aside and

After an all night session the house adjourn
ed at half past eight this morning until Mon

business from the Committee on Claims and
during the first three or four hours large num-
Der OF private bills were reported and passed.
Mr.. Potter OF New York, being in the chair as
Speaker pro tenn.
Finally about II o'clock snag was struck in
the shape of bill to reimburse man named
Wallace, in Lexington, Mo-, for his house de-
stroyed during the war by the United States
troops, in order to prevent its use as cover for
rebel sharpshooters. ltA
The bill provoked strong opposition, and when
the House came to vote upon it it was found
that there was noquorlm present. This neces-
STATED call of the House, and in the course
of the night there were three or four such calls,
because as soon as quorum was obtained
through the active exertions of the messengers
of the sergeent-at-ar who secured the city
and routed the absentees from their beds, some
others, tired and disguised with the perform
ance, would retire quietly and unobserved and
leave the House in as bad condition as before.
And thus it was continued until the sun was
up for hours, when at last a sufficient number
of Legislators got together and the bill passed
by vote of 113 to 80.
