STEAM BOILER rxp1os1oxs.
Arguments wero made before tho House
Of Senate bill appropriating s10O,000 for an
inquiry into tho oa,lseH Of steam boiler. explo-
slons. Mr. Stoyona Of Now Jersey, explained to
the Committee tho results obtained from a &c.
rss ae % SaS1asts Of t'ssey @ sd ssaaqsfa Ro By LIN
Now Jersey, and the Importance Of haying a
thorough and exhaustive investigation mado
under Government euperintendence. Ho said
that, among tho other important things DOM
boilers frequently exploded when full Of water,
aud that the blame genorally laid upon tho
euginoers for causing explosions by permitting
the water to get too low is, therefore, unfound-
cd. Mr. Copeland, an engineer, also advocated
the appropriation.
THE TWO PER CENT BILL.
The conduct of Senator Edmunds, to-day, IN
reslHtinR the confederation OF tho Ohio, Indiana,
the House, was moat remarkable instance Of
discourteay and oontemptible unfairness. The
claim had sufficient strength to hold aside the
regular order, when 1t MAS discovered that tho
bill reported BY the Judiolary Committee waa
not tho one which had pnaBea the House, but
WAS bill introduced independently, last
making a speech on the subject. Discover
AK asEEo 'tts to su6stifats aEfR Rsrofos % tho bill Whh
had passed tho House, mud which was precisely
similar to tho ono reported. 10 this Edmunds
lnterposed an objection, which would haye iad
the elect Of postponing the matter for another
day, had not tho friends OF tho measure deter
mined to go on with the present bill rather than
run tho risk Of delay at this lato stage Or tho
Bosaion. The bill waa debated NIL day without
vote being reached, and 1t comes up Tomorrow
after tho morning hour, Some doubt is OK
prossed, even II 1t paasoB the 6enate, whether
there will he time to haye 1t repaas tho House.
oAAEAEBA LEa1RLATloA.
80 many Senators being absent In attendance
III the various Investigating Committees, which
have leave to alt during the session, great
many measures arc now being rushed through,
without receiving careful attention. A tow dayg
ago. tho bill to establish an ocean telegraph bo. m
tween Amorioa, Aala, and Europe passed both
Houses with but little debate. It has hinco been
discovered that the partlos standing behind this
scheme arc not responsible. and that probably
tho only object in their securing tho bill ih to
sell tho franchises aocruing undor 1t. 3d. to-day,
Honator CasBorly moved Reconsideration Of tho
vote by which tho bill passed., aud will call 1t up
at tho first opportunity. This action defeats tho
bill, for this 6eBalon ut least.
TUE UTAH QUESTION.
Tho President was again At tue Capitol to'day
to look after legislation OH tho Utah bill. He
had oonferences with tho author Of the biil,
Senator FrelinghuyBon. and With Senators Coak-
ling and EdmundH. He represented that this
legislation was imperative, and asked that tho
