ties Of Jabez L. N. Curry, of Richmond,

right Of way to the Eastern Nevada Rail.
road Company.
Mr.. DUNNELL, from the same CON-
mittee, reported substitute for the Sen.
ate bill restoring to market all lands re-
naming undisposed Of in the reservation
Of the Ottawa and Chippewa Indians in
Michigan. Passed.
The amendments of the Senate 10 the
sundry civil appropriation bill having
been sent to the House Mr.. GARFIELD
moved that they be referred to the Com.
mittee on Appropriations.
1t was opposed by Mr.. BROOKS on the
ground that 1t would be facilitating the
passage Of the bill with an Objectionable
amendment known as the enforcement
act.
The SPEAKER in reply 10 q question
stated that the bill was now on the Speak.
er's table and could not be reached with
out q two.thirds majority, while 1t would
require only majority vote to pass 1t
after 1t came from the Committee on Ap.
preparations.
The bill restoring the right of home.
stead entry.to certain soldiers and sail.
ors who had forieited,that right on techni.
cal grounds was passed.
The morning hour having expired Mr..
GARFIELD moved at $3.50 P. M. to proceed
to the business on the Speakers table, a
motion which required only majority
vote, and which would enable the House
to reach the sundry appropriation bill.
This motion started a fllibustering
movement on the part Of the Democrats,
commencing with q motion by Mr.. HoL.
MAN that the House take recess till Z p.
NJ, and one by Mr.. ELDRIDGE that the
House adjourn. On which motions the
yeas and nays were demanded.
Afler wasting another hour, voting
yeas and nays, Mr.. GARFIELD moved to
non.concur in the amendments and refer
them to conferenceYcommittee.
Mr.. CAMPBELL favored the motion, ''
Mr. BECK stated that the Democrats
would vote for everything but the bayo-
net amendment, and suggested that the
Committee on Appropriations take the
bill as 1t now stood, with the exception OF
that obnoxious amendment, and pass it
as the original bill, and send it 10 the
Senate. ...........
Mr.. GARFIELD said the objection to that
was that many other amendments ought
not to be agreed to. They increased the
appropriation by $4,000.
Mr.. BECK thought 1t better 10 let that
amount be wasted, than to place bayonets
at every polling place in the country.
Mr.. FARNswoRTH argued that the mi.
nority would have the same chance Of
defeating this legislation after the report
Of the Conference Committee as now, and
1t was not at all certain that the Senate
would not recede from the Objectionable
amendments. -aa7-7

effect an amicable compromise failed,
and weary routine of calling the yeas
and nays on dllatory motions was resum-
ed, Finally the motion to take a recess
was agreed to.
The conference report on the bill to
pay the claims allowed by the Southern
Olaims Commission, was agreed to.
