KNOXVILLE TENN: WEDNESDAY MORNING. MAR

of consideration raised yesterday by
Mr.. Carlisle, Of Kentucky, was still
undecided.
The Speaker said tina t the appor-
tionment bill had not been called up
this morning.
Mr.. Price, of Iowa, thereupon call
ed up that bill, and Mr.. Carlisle i'm
medlately raised the question of con-
sideration.
Mr.. Haskell, of Kansas, moved to
recommit the apportionment bill.
The Speaker-That is not now be-
fore the House.
Mr. Cox asked if the gentlemen
on the other side would vote in good
faith to take up that bill without OBJ
struction.
Mr.. Price-Yes.
Mr.. Cox-Not one of them will do
it. They never intend to pass that
bill.
At this point the proceedings were
interrupted by Mr.. Reagan, of Texas,
with the conference report on the
river and harbor appropriation bill.
The statement which accompanies
the report states that as the bill
passed the house it appropriated
$10,179,SOO. The Senate had in-
creased this amount $962,OO0 by
means of 139 amendments. In the
conference the Senate had receded
from seven amendments, aggregat-
ing $66,0OO, leaving the amount ap-
propriated by the bill at $11, 141, 800.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, raised a
point of order that the statement
was not sufficiently in detail to full
fill the requirements of the rules.
Finally the report was agreed to
yeas 1852, nays 81, and the struggle
over the funding bill was resumed.
Mr.. Price demanded the regular
order, which the Speaker stated to
be the apportionment bill.
Mr.. Carlisle again raised the ques-
ton of consideration, and the House
by a vote of las to SO, refused tc
consider the apportionment bill.
Mr.. Conger then demanded the
consideration of unfinished business
and again the roll was called and the
vote taken on the question of consid'
ering the various bills under tina
head. The House refused to con-
slider any of them, but much time
was consumed by these obstructive
motions, the object of which was t(
prevent the reaching Of the funding
bill.
At the conclusion of unfinished
business, Mr.. Robson tried to fill
buster by rising to a privileged ques
ton and moving to suspend the rules
and pass the bill relating to tn
Canadian fisheries question, but th'
Speaker would not recognize him fo
that purpose.
Finally, the House agreed to pro
ceed to the consideration of busines
on The Speakers table.
After disposing of several meas
ures which had precedence, tn
House at last reached the funding
bill, which was then read, as passet
by the Senate.
Mr.. Mcmillan, of Tennessee
moved to concur in Senate amend
ments.
Mr.. Conger raised points of orde
and appealed from the decision c
the GUAR, until Mr.. Tucker move
for recess, stating that after reces
he would press the consideration {
the bill to it's final passage.
The House then took a reces
until $50.

of the Crescent City.
New ORLEANS, La, March l.
Rexs reception yesterday was an at
tractive event, all the local and visit
ing military participating in the

but thousands of private house, that
were thrown open for the accommo-
dation of visitors, have been filled,
and steamboats, are being used for

LONDON, Feb. 28.-In all the Lent>

Catholic archbishops and bishops on
Sunday strong hope was expressed
that the government would deal eff
fectually with the land question at
an early date. The people were
warned against joining illegal COM

A Plea for Simple Weddings.
Chambers Journal.

In all ceremonials there is a great
deal in fashion and ii occurs to us
that if few people of consequence
would set the fashion of simplicity IN
marriage ceremonies, they would be
doing great service to the communi-
ty. To many memorable instances the
higher classes have afforded a noble
example by leaving instructions that
tnelr funerals should take place with
out pomp or parade, and already we
see the good results which have fol-
lowed, funerals among the middle
classes being as rule much more
simple than formerly; and conse-
quently, to our mind, much more
solemn. Births, deaths and marriages
are three events in human life usually
classed together, and which the
sIatistician records, ana the politi-
clan notes; but marriage is the only
one of the three to which the CHIEF
actors are voluntary and conscious
agents. Surely it is tie most solemn
act of a man or woman, and properly
considered, is little allied to pomp
and fesivity. Think what it is to as
sumo, in large measure, the respon-
sibility of another's happiness and
future we'll being! And this is really
what IN marriage we may be said to do.
Surely a solemn impressive ceremony
with simplicity of attire is more in
harmony with the occasion than much
pageantry and sestivity.

The request of the committee was
complied with.
The Senate speedily disposed OF
the morning orders, and under the

The Japanese indemnity fund Sen,
ate bill then came up as unfinished
business. The bill directs the pays
ment to Japan of the amount Of the
fund, namely $1,463, ,224.
Mr.. Morgan moved TO amend the
bill by adding thereto the bill re-
ported from the committee on
foreign relations providing that the
President shall cause to be paid out
of the fund, as prize money, $246,OOO
TO the officers and crew of the United
States ship Wyoming, for services IN
the destruction of hostile vessels in
the straits of Sheminoseki in 1868
and to the officers and crew of the
Takeany, detached from the United
States ship Jamestown in September
1864.
Mr.. Kirkwood moved to amend
further by fixing the total to be pait
at $785, 900, which he said was thu
amount without interest received
from Japan.
Mr.. Morgan explained the trans
action and spoke in favor of hi
amendment.
Mr.. Jones, of Florida, favored th'
bill, but did not think interes
should be paid on the fund.
During the debate Mr.. Ransom
submitted conference report on tn
river and harbor bill, and the sam
was agreed to without discussion.

Mrs. Polk.

Colonel Mcclure, of the Philadelphia
Times, who recently called upon the
widow of ex-President Polk at Nash
vile. thus speaks of the venerable lady:
although the storms of four-score
years have fallen upon her, she is yet
cheerful as lass of twenty, and her
smile is as natural and as free as it
could have been when it was layished
upon the generation that is now forgot
ten. The brown curls of her youth are
yetfaultlessly initiated on her finely-cast
forehead, and her turban crown of
black with the widows silver lining
gives her the appearance of genial
and well-preserved dame of sixty sum-
mers. Her step is firm; her eyes are
scarcely dimmed by the long lapse of
more than patriarchal years, and her
memory is undated. She does not toler-
ate in conventional way the many tres
passers upon her time, but she greets all
with queenly dignity, and yet with that
generous welcome that makes every
visitor mark his visit as one of the fade
less memories of life. She is glad to
