WASHINGTON, June 80

MIR. Vests free coinage resolution
was considered, the question being
on Mr.. Allison's motion to refer the
resolution to Finance Committee.
Adopted; yeas %, nays -.
Mr.. Eaton, from the Committee
on Appropriations, reported favora-
bly, on House joint resolution to
adjourn sine die at 4 p. m. to-day.
Mr.. Window objected to the
present consideration of the resolu,
tion, anditgoes over until tomorrow.
Mr.. Window stated that he re-
GREETED to object, but as it was in his
power to prevent the majority from
adjourning to-day without passing
the Appropriation bills for which
Congress was convened, he thought
it was his duty to give them the
night to think over their resolution
and come to better one.
Mr.. Chandler proceeded to ar
raign the Democratic party for its
course in the present session.
Senate bill relating to the licens-
ing of vessels not propelled wholly
by sail or internal motive power OF
their own, was taken up and House
amendments concurred in.
At lao the Senate went into
executive session and when the
doors were opened the Presidents
message calling attention to the
failure of Congress to make an ap-
preparation for Marshals' fees, was
read and referred TO the Appro-
priation Committee.
Mr.. Eaton then desired to take
up again the resolution with regard
to adjournment, which he reported
earlier in the day, Mr.. Window,
however, again objected, and in
troduced a bill making an appro.
priation for Marshals' fees without
conditional clauses.
On motion of Mr.. Eaton it was
amended so as to be an exact copy
of the bill just vetoed, and finally
it was indefinitely postponed.
After another executive session
of short duration, the Senate ad
journed until tomorrow.

were introduced.
There were 157 members present
being thirteen more than a quo
rum.
The Speaker laid before the
House the veto me cage of th'
President on the Marshals bill, ant
it was read. The House refuses
to pass the bill over the veto by
vote of 80 to SO. At 2:30 anothe
message was received from th
President and read, calling the atten
tion of the House to the importanc
of making some provision for Mar
shals, saying that under the existing
laws prohibiting the incurment o
liabilities outside of appropriations
the Executive could not comman,
their services, and that tn
suspension of their functions
for even short time
would be inconsistent with the pub
lie interests, and might at any mo
ment prove inconsistent with tn
public safety. The message wa
referred to the Committee on Ar
propriations. as was also a lette
from the Attorney General, whic
was presented by Mr.. Atkins, {
Tennessee.
After disposing of some unim
portant business on the Speaker
table the House took up and passe'
