a sufficient amount of revenue belonging to
the district ut such times as interest shall
be due, the secretary of the treasury shall
advance the amount necessary, and shall
reimburse 1t to the treasury out Of the dis
trict revenues afterwards received. Pend
ing action on 1t the committee rose, the
session yesterday was closed, and that OF
to-day formally opened.
The house again went into committee OF
the whole on the civil appropriation bill,
and Mr.. Randall's amendment for the pay
mcnt of interest on the District of Column
bia B. 65 bonds out of the treasury was
adopted.
The sections approprating $747 647 for
the revenue cutter service and S250O,O0O
for the United States supreme court and
district and circuit courts and for expenses
under the enforcement act, Mr.. Foster
moved to strike out Of the item. The pro-
visio repeating the law in relation TO the
registration of votes and the appointment
of supervisors of election and deputy and
special deputy marehals was rejected with
the understanding that motion may be
made In the house in order to have vote
by yeas and nays.
The question of enforcement came up on
the motion Of Mr.. Gambler Of Georgia to
s,rike out the item of 5000 for the de-
lection and prosecution of crimes against
the..E'niied States. The discussion was
carried Oh by Messrs. Gambler, Garfield,
Reagan and Mills on one side, and Foster.
Burchard and Congen on the other.
The latter criticised the position taken
by Mr. Reagan as leading logically to fevo-
luton, criticism which was repealed by
Mr.. Reagan rs unfounded and untrue.
The assertion by Mr.. Caulaeld. chair
man of the committee ON expenditures in
the department of justice, that the money
appropriated for executing the enforcement
act had been perverted to improper pur-
poses, particularly in New York, was de-
MED by Mr.. Waite, a member of that CON-
mittee, who asserted that there had been
no evidence to that effect taken before the
committee.
Mr.. Wood asserted that there was no
state whose laws were better framed to
protect the elective franchise than the state
of New York. The state and city of New
York had been for seven out of the last
ten years in the control of the republican
party. and il there had been election
frauds there that party was responsible for
them. The only obstacle to pure elections
in the city OF New y ork had been inter-
posed by the general government with its
supervisors and marshals, who protected
and encouraged fraud, instead Of prevent
ing it, and who used their powers TO over
awe and ntimidate voters.
Finally the committee rose in order to
close the debate, and Mr. Randall, having
. moved to close the debate Immediately, the
yeas and nays were demanded on the ie-
publican side of the house. The debate
was closed and Mr.. Chambers amendment
adopted.
The items for the expenses OF the Dis
trict of Columbia government were agreed
to.
The appropriations for public buildings
were then considered, but pending action
the house took recess.
On reassembling, on motion Of Mr.. Ran
dali, the senate amendments to the Indian
appropriation bill were nonconcurred in
and committee of conference ordered.
The speaker pro tenn appointed Messrs.
Randall, Sparks and Hurlbut the commit
tee on the part of the house.
The house then went into committee
Of the whole, Mr.. Blackburn in the chair,
on the sundry civil appropriation bill, the
section under consideration being the ap-
preparation for public buildings.
Mr.. Adams moved to insert an item of
$4,000 for new postot1ice at a Albany; re-
jected.
Considerable discussion rose in the ap-
preparations for public buildings in various
cities, amendments to increase the sums
named in the bill being made, and IN each
case rejected. The house without fnal
action on this section adjourned having dis
posed of halt the bil.
