Mr.. Eli. ii. Roberts in the chair. The
following amendment which wss offered
by Mr.. Randall provoked consi cradle
discussion Fl
Any person holding an office or ap-
pointment under the authority Of the
United States, who shall contract or
| authorize OF consent 10 any expenditure
within any fiscal year over or beyond the
appropriations ror sucn year and for such
purpose, for which such appropriations
may have been specifically made; or who
shall al any time contract for or authorizs
or consent TO any expenditures over and
above the appropriations made before such
time, shall be guilty OF misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof shall be
fined not less than $1,000 and not moro
than $500. ..
The discussion turned largely on the
extravaganza of the supervising architect
of the Treasury in the erection OF pub
lie buildings oil over the coutry.
Mr.. Beck asserted that the cost OF the
New York postotiice was limited 10 three
million dollars and that Of Boston TO ono
and half millions the former had al
ready cost nearly six millions and the
latter nearly three millions.
The amendment was allowed TO lie over
for further action. Without making any
progress on the bill the committee rose.
The House then took up the Senate SUBJ
s.i.u,s for the bill in relation TO saloons.
Mr.. HuIlbut said il had been his fortune
to propose to the House measure which
the House had passed, and TO which the
Senate had adopted substitute. He pro-
posed to accept that substitute a. = salts
factory solution Of the vexed question.
He didn't propose to lead in The measure,
but would yield the floor to the chairman
Of the special committee to which the
House originally referred the subject.
Mr.. Hale, Of Maine, said tina. in or
der TO bring the House to q vote on the
bill without further complications, he
would move that the House concur in tho
Senate substitute, and on that he moved
the previous question.
Mr.. Butler and Dawes desired to offer
or indicate an amendment, but Mr.. Hale
insisted on tho previous question, and be-
lieyed that If the House should begin 10
make changes in the bill it would drift
nobody knew where, and the whole sub.
jet would be open again. Tho bill was
now nearly - clear as though sutetsn.
tlal repeal of the increase Of last session,
and he believed the House could do no
better than take il.
Mr.. - stated that he and many
others were opposed 10 both the Senate and
House bills, and desired to non concur. in
order to get a better law
The previous question was seconded by
l2G to lj7, and the substitute was agreed
to-yeas 226, nays %. The bill now goes
to the President for approval.
The votes in the negative were given by

This morning, from st. DomInic's church, hor

Truly may It be said OF her:
"None knew her but to love,

husband, was . boon rarely granted to one Of
youth, (for she had not quite attained the age Of
hfteen years when msrried) his consoler, his com

It was made morally, but not legally. It was
presented without the least proof, and for that
adopted. This is a solemn time, great occasion,

Mr. Randolph Barton, Of Memorial church, Bal
timore, said objections had been made, on the
ground that the evidence ,a submitted ~ was purely
this church, but thought rumor should not be re-
cognized, and give to this church name to which
It has no clam. He asked DIR. Lewis some hours
before II the services In this church were such as
he would allow in his own chancel. DR.. Lewis
had not given him an answer, although he would
br. Lewis, taking the floor, said in reply, that
the services were not as he approved OF would al
low In his own chaneel, but he was satisneu that
there was nothing in that church that he con-
Mr., Barton, rssuming: That is not an apswsr,
and II IN eSnIt It would not es rscogni1sd .Ie He
church had violated the canon Of the church.
DR.. Lewis started to make a statement, but
Mr.. Barton objected to being interrupted.
SHALL TIE CHURCH BE ADMITTED OR MOTT
Mr.. Barton said the question has resolved itself
into whether the church shall be sdmittsd or
not and will Il assist DR.. Lewis In the spread Of
the Gospel Ho thought not one iota. De mad
every reason to believe that tho views Of this
Church were contrary to those Of the highest
ehurchmen. The two questions were the edmiS-
sion Of this Church and the expediency for the
same. -
Or. German, Of Baltimore, next addressed the
convention, He said the question was ferrous,
and should be carefully considered. He az
pressed his surprise at the course that had been
pursued concerning the Church. Whenever any
disregard Of admonition took place, II was recti-
fed BY the advice Of the Bishop. He appealed to
DIR. Lewis, who replied that they always had.
The objection Is expressly on the mode BY which
the service is conducted, and upon that issue the
committee reported that 1t wasnot expedient that
the congregation be allowed to organize. The
Church have no liturgicai uses, and they have
right to worship under any form they please.
The committee arrogated their rights. He
held DR.. Lewis responsible, ana the men who are
opposing these parishes are those who started
these churches.
He considered that the committee had over;
stepped their authority, and brought In report
founded on rumor, and attempted 70 make hight
on the ground Of Ritualism. He thought 1t
would be wrong to make an example Of this one
