WASHINGTON, June z.-Senator
Voorhees, to-day made an effort to
call up the House bill to repeal the
resumption act, and the vote there
on indicated quite conclusively
that financial legislation for the
session is finished. Upon amotion
as to the order of business, there
were three bills antagonizing one
another; the army bill, the river
and harbor bill, and the resumption
repeal bill. The first vote was
taken on the question, whether the
army bill or the river and harbor
bill should be taken up, and the
Senate voted to take up the army
bill, then the friends of the re-
sumption repeal law antagonized
against the consideration of the
army bill, claiming that if it was
not taken up to-day it would not
be at this session. A square vote
was reached, and by yeas 80 to
nays 33 the Senate decided to go
on with the army bill, thus practi-
cally defeating the resumption re-
peal bill. This was, however, in
accordance with an agreement
made before Forts bill prohibiting
contracts was passed, that sholrid
end the financial legislation for
this session.
