any objection TO having Webber's testimony

10 public libraries all over the country The

"A few thousand dollars TO correct IN error
preiudcin TO one of its members.

stated that the record of case could be

out the parts ordered by the committee to be

Messrs. Salisbury and Hill saw no objec.
ton to this motion.
Mr.. Garland said tho only parliamentary
way TO correct testimony was to recommit II

Unfinished business on the calendar was
then taken up, being tho bill providing for nm
international exhibition IN New York in 1888,
Mr.. Maxey embodied bill 10 remove
the act of June 3D., 1866, to grant
land to Morgau's Louisiana Railroad Ship
al O., In
bill for an international exhibition in New
York in 1883, which was passed.
The bill introduced by Mr. Paddock to en-
able persons who have entered less than

to enough to make l60 acres was passed.
Mr.. Byard, from the Judiciary committee, re-
ported favorably on his bill amending the
statistics so rs to prevent the arrests Of State
election officers on election day. Placed on
the calendar. .
Consideration ofthe immediate deficiency bill
was resumed. In advocating an amendment
adding an appropriation of $4,000 for dies,
paper and stamps for the Internal Revenue
Department, Mr., Beck took occasion to
highly compliment the present administra-
ton Of that department, which by 6rmness in
suppressing illicit distilleries and fair and
open treatment of lawful distillers, had in
creased the revenue from spirits so much that
this appropriation was made necessary to
meet the Increased business The amend
ment and the various Senate committee
amendments were agreed TO.
Mr.. Blaine offered an amendment provid'
ing that the employees of the government
printing office shall have the same holidays
as other government employees, without losing
their pay therefor.
Mr.. Davis, of West Virginia, opposed
this, as it was general legislation on an
appropriation bill, to which he objected on
principle
MIR. Blaine asked Mr.. Davis if he would
carry out that principle by voting against the
Mnrshals clause in this bill
Mr.. Davis replied that the Senate could
not control the action of the House. The
vote for the House bill was very different
from voting for Mr.. Blanes amendment
and She raised :..the .point of order sagains
proposed general legislation on general up
preparation bill. The presiding officer, Mr.
| Rollins, ruled that the pending bill was not
general appropriation bill, and that MI
Blsine's amendment was in order.
Mr. Edmunds appealed from the ruling.
A debate cnsued as to what constituted
general appropriation bill, in the course o
which Mr.. 'Blsine said he was opposed to tn
clause in this bill in regard to the appoint
ment of Special Deputy Marshalls, becaus
il was vicious itself; not because it was at
tached to an appropriation bill. To oppos
it because it was an appropriation bill was t
make it u petty objection. 1t was partlsa
in design. mischievous in intent and disas
trous in consequence.
After further discussion the chair reversed
his ruling, saying that while under the frs
clause of rule the amendment was deemed ad
missable, under the whole it was not j
order. =, :.
MIR. Blaine was dissatisfied with the ruin
and an animated and amuseing colloqy ensue
between him and Mr.. Carpenter, who en-
dorsed the chair.
Mr.. Edmunds then moved to strike Oh
the Marshals clause. =.
! The motion was defeated and the bi
read a third time by a party vote.
Mr.. Eaton moved for an executive session

early hour tomorrow. Agreed to, and whe
