haze newly registered. Among them
is Col. r. g. Ingersoll, who will speak

WASHINGTON, June L. SENATE
Vance from the select committee on
the exodus of negroes from the South
ern to other states submitted report
of majority of the committee. Or
dered printed together with testimony
taken by the committee.
Window announced that he would
hereafter submit the views of the mi
nority.
Ransom, as per previous motion,
moved to postpone all the prior orders
and take up the river and harbor APP
preparation bill.
Morgan hoped this bill would not be
taken up In the morning. It contained
many appropriations of doubtful pub
lie use and would lead to much de-
bate. 1t could not pass through the
Senate or through the House by its
own right, but it would be thoroughly
examined. He was in charge of bill
of interest and safety of the whole
country in the next election, a bill
to enforce the constitutional provisions
| relative to the election of president
and vice president, and he hoped the
Senate would now consider that bill
which could not pass at this session
unless it were considered speedily.
Ransom's motion was agreed to by q
vote of 45 yeas to nays.
The river and harbor appropriation
bill was thereupon taken up.
HoUsE-The morning hour was dis
pensed with, and discussion arose as
to the proper length of the debate On
the general deficiency appropriation
bill in the committee of the whole.
Reagan of Texas desired to speak
upon the Interstate commerce bill, but
great deal of opposition was mani
tested by the Republican side.
The Speaker suggested that by unan-
lmous consent, after the disposition
of the deficiency bill, debate
two hours might be allowed in the
House, one hour to be used by Reagan
and the other by Republicans.
To this F. Wood objected, stating
that when the deficiency bill was dis
posed of, he would press the funding
bill for consideration.
Finally the House, at II 80, went
into committee of the whole, Whit
borne in the chair, on the deficiency
bill.
The general debate being heightened
to two hours, Reagan proceeded to
speak on the subject, the interstate
commerce blu, but was interrupted by
Valentine of Nebraska, who raised the
point of order that be must address
himself to the question under consid-
GRAFTON. It being evident, however,
that the chair would override the point,
Valentine withdrew it, preferring that
Reagan should proceed by unanimous
consent than that be should do so Dy
virtue of the chairs decision.
Reagan then continued his speech,
painting the features OF the Hender-
con bill, and advocating the, passage OF
what is known as the Reagan bill.
