WASHINGTON, d. C., March G.
A JAPANESE SPEECH IN CONGRESS.
The reception of the japanese by thcI house
went off pleasantly. Few senators came over,
but the vice president was present and was first
to be presented to the embassy. Gen. Banks
performed his part finely, as he always does on
such occasions. The Vast gallery audience was
best lpleased with the reply, and the singular
way in which it was spoken or chanted by the
chief of the embassy.
DREARY PROSPECT.
The senate custom house committee are re-
ceiving applications daily from New York from
persons who desire TO give information in regard
to the workings of the custom house, and the
prospect is not so good as it was for closing up
the investigation. 1t was thought last week
that another week would suffice for the exam
ination of witnesses, but the chances now are
that it will take number OF weeks. If this is
the case, it will be impossible to bring in a re-
port at this session. Indeed, the committee
doubt if all the evidence taken will be printed
before adjournment
THE GOAT ISLAND BILL
Stirred up lively debate in the house during
the morning hour Two of the Connecticut
members spoke upon it-Srong of Hartford
very decidedly and effectively against the bill,
and Kellogg of Waterbury for it. The subject
comes up again to omorrow, but it is generally
understood that the bill will pass when a vote
is reached.
THE APPROPRIATION BILL,
The political debate of yesterday was resumed
when the house went into committee on the
deficiency bill, but it did not last long. Curl
ously enough, the democrats voted solid against
the item making an appropriation to enable the
government to protect the cOlored people of the
south, though Sam Cox claims that they are
their best friends.
Gen. Garfield, the chairman of appropriations
declined to participate in the political debate
He has rigidly abstained from it during the ses
sion, and in consequence he has been remalka
bly, successful with the appropriation bills Sc
far-as he and his committee are concerned, con
gress might adjourn by the end of May, but tht
senate is far behind.
There was spirited debate over Mr.. Dawes
amendment to the deficiency bill, providing fol
the payment to the workmen in the govcrnmen
arsenal yards and workshops the two-tenths o
their wages which were withheld by certain
officials during the time between the passage o.
the eight hour law by congress and the date o.
the presidents proclamation ordering that full
wages should be paid for eight hours work.
Dawes, Banks, Butter and Others supported i
vigorously, but it was impossible to bring ma
iority to agree to what most of the members
agree privately is just.
The statement that it will take S45O,OOO to pay
the workmen their claim killed it.
THE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE.
1t is understood that the French arms senat
committee will go TO work at once, and tina
some of the officials of the Springfield armoIy
will be summoned here TO testify in regard tt
| the manufacturing of arms.
