THE ARMY BILL PAssED.
s ST.. PAUL, MINI. June 21.-The debate
on the army bill was resumed, yesterday.
Carpenter rose to the dignity of the occa-
sion and made one of the finest legal ar
guments against the bill ever heard IN the
Senate Blaine said if the President sign
ed the bill he would write himself down
an ass. All amendments were rejected
and the bill passed by vote of 33 to 10.
LAMAR AND CONKL1NG.
The opinion Of Democratic senators is
that Lamar's course after the attack of
Conkling, was perfectly justifable. 1t is
said by some that duel is inevitable.
Lamar's friends assert that the challenge
must come from Conkling. Since the al
tercation Conkling has closely watched
proceedings, and seems to be in condi.
tion to get into another quarrel Lamar
occupied back seat to the end of the
session, saying nothing to any one, and
not seeming to take any active interest in
the proceedings. Senator Gordon was
overtaken by telegram at the depot as he
was leaving the city, and asked to come
back, as he may be needed by Lamar.
The Senator, IN the event of challenge is
expected to act as second. ai
LAMAR WOULD BE DELIGHTED i
to have Conkling challenge him, and ev-
erything rests with the New York sena-
tor, as he is the insulted party. One thing
is certain, and that is that no effort will
be made to fix up matters, as was the case
when Conkling had a difficulty with Cor
don. No power on earth could induce
Lam ar to withdraw his words. Ben Hill
don't see how Conkling can avoid notice
ing the insult. Gordon is Lamar's warm
est friend, and approves his course. Eaton,
though Democrat, is q warm friend of
Conkling's. He says Lamar failed to
measure words with Conkling, and the
latter, in imputlng bad faith to Lamar,
laid himself open to attack. If Conkling
concludes to challenge Lamar, Vance,
who is a 4l.tl. ar3 I:
z DUELLING EXPERT, a'it
thinks he ought to send message imme-
diately. Vance justitles Lamar, and pro-
nounces Conkling's language as insulting
to the whole Democratic party. .
Among Republicans great regret is ex-
pressed, but all agree that Lamar was the
aggressor, and attacked Conkling without
requisite provocation. The Republicans
were too much startled to call Lamarto to
order. Conkling being talked to replied
that they had a different method of set
ting personal difficulties in his state, and
that he could not be led into a duel by
any ambitious Southern man. If assault
ed or insulted outside the senate chamber,
he would know how to take care of HIM
self. Both Conkling and Lamar are men
of undoubted courage, and the former is
an expert fencer and y ...i
ADEAD SHOT. J.. ~ .s'.
Besides, Conk ling is well up in the
"manly art of self.defense," and it would
not surprise some should he, refusing to
recognize the code, in event of too much
wind" on the part of Lamar's friends, re-
yenge himself upon Lamar by personal
assault. Like all Southern men, Lamar
goes constantly armed, and should Conk-
ling assault him he would not be slow to
use his weapons. a5l t.a
The opinion as to the Presidents course
on the army bill is mixed" Some OF his
confidential friends swear he will veto it,
but the associated press report of this
tmorning says he will sign both It and the
judicial appropriation bill.
