sENATE-AFTERNooN SESSION.

sENATE-AFTERNooN SESSION.
Washington, April 30.-The senate
continued consideration of the bill to
prevent the introduction of contagious
or infectious diseases into the United
States.
Hamlin opposed the bill, and moved
to recommit, with instructions to
frame code of rules and regulations
to carry the object of the act into ef-
feet. He would not support the pres
ent measure because of its severity
against our commercial marine, and
because 1t made the national board Of
health legislative body in the making
of rules and regulations. This was
too grave a duty to be entrusted to
them.
Herman opposed the bill.
Garland called attention to the fact
that the bill required all the rules and
regulations to be framed by the Ma
tional board Of health to be uniform,
and to be subject to the approval of the
president. The committee did not
want the bill recommitted, as they had
already done all they could to present
the bill in an acceptable shape.
Hoar and Conkling opposed the meas
ure.
The senate went into executive ses-
sion and soon adjourned,
Still Anxious to Starve Uncle Sam.
Washington, April s30.-The demo-
cratic leaders show more feeling to-day
than yesterday, over the presidents
message, and are more defiant in their
talk regarding their future action. The
feeling is becoming stronger among
some Of the leaders that the party will
not suffer seriously If they adjourn
congress after the legislative appropria-
ton bill is passed and vetoed, and leave
the government without money. This
course is openly and strongly advised
to-day by leading northern democrats,
who think that the president will be
forced to back down when they come
together again in extra session.
Democratic Congressional Caucus.
Washington, April 30.-A well at
tended democratic caucus was held this
afternoon, for the purpose of determin-
Ing what course should be pursued in
regard to the presidents veto. After
some discussion upon the proposition
to refer the veto message to the Judi
ciary committee, or to special select
committee, with view to obtaining a
report which should exhibit its alleged
incorrect Interpretation Of the purpose
and effect Of the sixth section of the
Dill, 1t was decided to bring the meas
ure to direct vote tomorrow without
debate or reference. A resolution en-
bodying this conclusion was finally
adopted with great unanimity, as fol-
lows:
Resolced, That it Is the sense of this
caucus that the bill making appropria-
tion for the support of the army should
pass, notwithstanding the objections of
the president, and that we proceed to
take vote on tomorrow without de-
bate.
Inc caucus then considered ques-
ton Of wider scope and greater i'm
portance, namely: What further ac-
tion should be taken by the democratic
party concerning the two appropriation
oiils after they shall both have been de-
ieated by presidential vetoes. the veto
