HOUSE.

As business of the morning hour,
consideration was resumed Of the bill to
amend the law in relation to the trans
fer of cases from State to
United States Courts, and Mr.. Mclane
concluded his argument in favor OF the
bill.
Mr.. Urner opposed the bill on the
ground that one of the sections proposed
TO be repealed-NO. 636-was virtually
the judiciary act of 1889, which gave
force and effect 10 that clause OF the
Constitution which authorizes United
States Courts to pass upon questions In
controversy between citizens OF one
State and citizens of another State.
The morning hour expired before Mr.:
Urner had finished his argument, and
the bill went over till Tuesday next.
Consideration was then resumed OF
the bill to amend the statutes relating to
cold and silver coinage and ccin and
bullion certificates, the qucstio' being
on the third section and the amend
ments thereto.
The first amendment was one offered
by Mr.. Beliord, confining the privilege
OF free coinage to silver mined in the
United States.
Mr.. Springer spoke in favor Of his
amendment to which Mr.. BelfOrd 5
amendment was offered. 1t would
make the difference between the value OF
bullion and the value of coin enure to
the government instead of to the bull
lion owner. 1t would give the bullion
holder 81 cents for his bullion, which 1t
was worth, and not 100 cynts, which It
was not worth. 1t would put into the
treasury the difference between bullion
and the coin value of silver, and keep 1t
there as a trust fund for the people OF
the United States.
A vote was taken on Mr.. Beliord' 5
amendment, and it was defeated; yeas,
81; nays, l20.
Mr.. Ewing offered an amendment to
Mr.. Springer's amendment. Ii pro-
vides that the Secretary of the Treasury
shall issue and deliver to the depOsitOrs
Of silver bullion certificates to an amount
equal to the value Of such bullion, and
that the silver dollars coined from such
bullion TO the extent OF 40 per cent. OF
such certificates shall be held for the re-
demption thereof, and the remainder ap-
piled to the payment OF the principal
and interest of the public debt. The
certificates so issued are to be received
at par for all dues 10 the United States,
and to be used for the payment OF the
current expenses OF the government,
and are redeemable in standard silver
dollars.
A vote was taken on Mr.. Ewing
amendment and it was adopted, yeas
100, nays l05, the Speaker casting the
deciding vote amid applause on the
Democratic side.
Mr.. Springer's amendment, as amend,
ed by Mr.. Ewing, was then rejected
yeas 80, nays III.
House then adjourned until Tuesday

Iowa Crop Reports.

BURLINGTON, May 1.-THE HdWkeye
will publish on Sunday morning special
crop reports. from over 100 points in
Iowa. They show an increased acreage
of wheat and corn, and that both of
those crops are in excellent condition.
The season has been dry which has en-
abed farmers TO plow their lands that
were not tillablc in the wet season. In
a few localities the drought has done
some damage, but as rule the recent
rains came in time to leave the crops in
good shape, but in most sections more
rain will be needed within a week or
ten days to keep the crops in good con.
dition. Oats and hay will fall short OF
the yield Of last year owing to decrease
acreage of oats sOwn and the dry season.
Other crops promise good yield.

differently and a new trial was had this
week, resulting in verdict against the
assignees of the claimant.
