that the Circuit or District Courts shall
appoint them, was agreed to by a party
vote. Allison moved to make the appro-
p~riation Of $500, 900 for the expenses OF
United States Marshals, to apply also to
their deputies, and in a colloquy with
Eaton, claimed that there was no clause in
the Revised Statutes providing for the gen.
eral deputies which the bill mentions. The
amendment was defeated by 81 to 20.
Mr.. Blaine offered an amendment giving
the employees Of the public printing office
the usual public holidays.
Mr.. Whyte accused Mr.. Blaine of propos.
ing general legislation ON an appropriation
bill. which principle he (Whyte) was op-
posed to.
Mr.. Blaine said the Senator would soon
have a chance to prove his devotion to The
principle; for himself, he refused to be
spoonied by the House, and to accent all
their legislation without like privileges on
the part Of the Senate to originate, and mn
less there was a definite rule adopted, not
to engraft legislation on appropriation bills,
he would maintain the equal right of the
Senate.
Mr.. Edmunds made the point Of order
against Mr.. Blaine's amendment, that it
was in contravention Of the rule of the
Senate, and therefore out of order.
Mr.. Blaine denied that this deficiency
bill was q general Appropriation bill, and
therefore the rule Of the Senate need not
here apply.
Mr.. Rollins, presiding, ruled accordingly.
Mr.. Edmunds appealed.
MIR. David Davis objected to Mr.. Blaine's
amendment and his stand, and had no
doubt he would be consistent, and move to
strike all general legislation from the bill.
Mr.. Blaine asked Mr.. Davis if he had
stated his position correctly.
Mr.. Davis said he did not propose to be
criticised now, but would state his position
when an occasion was presented in a tam
gible form.
Mr.. Blaine said Mr.. Edmunds was noted
for loading down appropriation bills with
legislation, which charge Mr.. Edmunds
sarcastically denied.
The Chair here reversed his decision,
which act Mr.. Carpenter a~ppiauded, and
which Mr.. Blaine regarded as improper,
unless reasons were given.
A spirited interchange then occurred be-
tween Blaine and Carpenter, as to the pro-
priety Of this point.
Mr.. Edmunds moved to strike out the
clauses relating to the pay of Special Dep
uty Marshals, leaving the appropriation in
tact, which was rejected by a vote Of 81 to
%. The bill was then read a third time
and passed-ayes, 80; noes, "a.
Representative Horace Davis has re-
ceived and will file tomorrow, ut the State
Department, an elaborate communication,
addressed to Secretary Evarts by Theodore
A. Lord, OF San Francisco, making very
serious charges against Rev. Thomas 7.
Dawson, formerly of Oakland, and now U.
s. Consul at Samoa. Lords truthfulness
and reliability are vouched for to Congress-
man Davis by a number Of the most re-
spectacle citizens and business firms Of
San Francisco, interested in the Samoan
Islands. who write to him that Lord was
selected by them to go to Samoa and ad-
wise them of the true state of affairs there,
on account OF his w%ell-known integrity.
Lord charges Consul Dawson with working
in the interests of the German Government
and German business houses, against the
interests of the American Government and
American citizens. He says Dawson ia a
man OF bad character, and is held to be in
famous wherever he ia known. He is, per-
sonally, dishonest and corrupt, and moth
ing less than "a petty thief"
Lord also severely criticises the conven-
eAOh ioeO Ny OOuBul OuWbUu anu
the German and English representatives
with the new King, Maleates, by which it
is proposed to create Apia into a munich
pality, under the control Of the foreign
Consuls, with authority to levy q tax OF
fve per cent. per year upon American resi-
dents, and her and his San Francisco
friends ask Secretary Evarts to disapprove
OF this convention. Davis correspondents
say in closing these charges: Until some
decent, reliable man shall be appointed to
succeed Dawson, there will be no safety for
American interests in Samoa, and no en-
couragement for Americans to contend for
a portion Of its trade. II there were a re-
putable Consul there, a company would
be formed here at once to operate the sugar
plantations of these Islands, but the par
ties are waiting for a change of Consuis to
be made before doing anything.
The Subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on Pacific Railroads, who were in
structed by the full committee to inquire
into the alleged contract between the Pa
ciflc Railroads and the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company, have not yet prepared their
report upon the subject, but it is under
stood that they will take the ground that
while such a contract would be obnoxious
to the received tenets M presidents of
common law, the almost universally
changed condition upon which commercial
transactions are based, justify a radical de-
parture from former precedents.
