WASHINGTON, June IL.
SENATE.

/
A bill to amend the act Of 1903, for en-
rolling and licensing Of vessels in tht
coasting trade, was again taken up and
passed.
The army appropriation bill was taken
up and Alr. Withers explained It's provis'
ions.
Debate arose on the fourth section
which provides that when vacancsy oc.
ours In an Office OF u professor Of French
Language or that Of O Spanish language In
the military academy, both Offices shall
cease and the remaining one OF the two
professors be the professor OF modern
language and hereafter there shall be In
The academy only one professor OF modern
Languages.
Alter debatethe section was temporarily
passed over and the reading Of the bill
proceeded with.
The committees amendment 10 strike
out the section providing that graduates
Of the academy In 1870 and 80 may elect
to receive $3.50, In which case they shall
be Ineligible TO appointment in the army
lor two years, was agreed to.
The committees amendment to add the
following as an eighth section was agreed
to: "That the provlso to section ll5l OF
the Revised Statutes be and the same is
hereby repealed" The proviso Is as fol.
lows: provided that no promotion shall
be made to I'LL any vacancy in said corps
(engineer Corps) above the rank OF col.
Onel."
The remainder OF the session was taken
up in debate on the provisions OF the bill,
and without reaching q vote the Senate
adjourned.
Mr.. Atkins reported back the legislative
appropriation bill aud the Senate amend.
ments thereto, with report recommends
ing concurrence in the same and non
concurrence in the others. The report
was agreed to.
The judicial expenses bill was received
from the Senate, and referred to the APP
preparation Committee. The House then
resumed the consideration Of the bill pro-
llibiting political assessments.
The bill was debated at great length,
when the discussion was closed by de.
nand for the regular order OF business,
and the bill went over till the morning
hour tomorrow.
The House then took up as unfinished
business, the Senate bill in relation to
juries.
Mr.. Herbert who had charge Of the bill.
tried to get the Republican side OF the
House to agree upon plan disposing OF the
bill, but was met by objection, that as the
principal OF the bill was embodied in the
judicial appropriation bill no action could
be taken until that bill was finally disposed
Of.
Thereupon Mr.. Herbert moved the pre-
vious question on the passage of the bill,
and the Republicans resorted to their ia.
vorite strategy OF declining to vote, SO
technically leaving the House without
quorum. After various roll calls further
proceedings for the call Of the House were
dispensed with,
4 ConEarence Committee consisting Of
Messrs. Atkins, Blount and Baker was ap-
pointed on the legislative appropriation
bill.
The attempt to have action taken on the
bill in relation to juries was again made
and again resisted, aud after about two
hours in struggling 1t was abandoned by
the Democrats, and the House adjourned.
