Rules Of lhe House to be Revised.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-SENATE-
President pro TEN. Thurman was
absent to-day owing to illness, and
Mr.. Eaton took the chair. A com
munieation from the secretary Of the
treasury transmitting information in
answer to resolution regarding the
action of the national board Of health
under the law authorizing a contract
for refrigerating ships, etc., was re-
-ferred.
Mr.. Vest introduced the following
joint resolution: "That the complete
reconciliation of silver, its full re-
storation as money metal and its free
coinage by the government of the
United States are demanded alike by
dictates of justice and wise stateman-
ship" 1t was ordered printed. Mr..
Vest gave notice of his intention to
speak on it to morrow.
Mr.. Burnside introduced joint
resolution which was substantially as
follows:
Whereas, The people of this Unien
for fifty years have adhered to the
Monroe doctrine, that the nations
of the American continent, by the free
and Independent condition which they
have assumed and maintained, are
henceforth not to be considered as
subjects for future occupation by Eu-
Iropean powers therefore be it
Resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States, That the people of these States
would not view without serious in
any attempt by the powers Of
Europe to establish under their pro-
lection and domination a ship canal
across the lsthmus of Darien, and such
action could not be regarded in any
other light than as a manifestation Of
an unfriendly disposition toward the
United States.
Referred to the committee on for
eign affairs.
HoUsE.-A resolution instructing
the committee on rules to sit during
vacation for the purpose of codifying
and simplifying the rules of the house
was reported by Mr.. Blackburn. Ii
gave rise to considerable discussion
regarding the complex, unintelligi-
BILE and contradictory system of the
rules at present governing the house.
The object was intimated by Mr.. Con-
ger that it might be intended to
abridge the rights of the minority by
making it compulsory ON every mem
Der to vote on every question, and
thus preventing what is known as
flibustering, The objection was met
by the assurance that no such thing
was intended, and that, in fact, no
rule could be made palmer or more
obligatory than the existing rule on
that subject, and yet under it it was
well known how the members Of the
minority declined voting and thus OBJ
structed legislation.
The speaker mentioned it as his
torical fact that, except in two instan-
ceS, woman suffrage and the liquor
traffic reports of the committee on
rules had never been made on party
grounds. Finally the resolution was
adopted without division.
The senate bill ezempting from
license and other fees vessels not pro-
PEELED wholly by sail, or by internal
motive power of their own, was taken
up.
