THE FoRTY.sEyENTH CONGRESS
MONDAY. DEC. is.

MONDAY, DEC. Is.
,Senate-Sen. Beck said he had called for
information in regard to the discrepancy
between appropriations and the reported
expenditures, and thought it was not sat-
isfactorily explained in the comnunica-
ton Of the secretary of the interior.
In the discussion Sen. Beck said that
making appropriations 10 pay teachers in
blacksmithibg upon reservations, in ac
cordance with our absurd treaties, was a
mere waste OF money. These appropria-
tious were made from year to year, while
among many of the tribes no school
houses were opened. Many Indians
could hardly be caught with iasso much
less confined In school houses, and the
money was spent upon supernumeries.
H0dse-The death Of Orth, of Indiana,
was referred TO in touching words by the
chaplain Of the house. The desk of the
late representative was decked in black.
Mr.. Butterworth, Of Ohio, offered res
olution reciting the fact that the agitation
of the question OF abolishing the internal
revenue tax on tobacco has greatly in
jured the trade in that article, and that an
allowance or rebate on stock on hand will
prevent damage TO the trade, and declar-
ing it to be the sense of the house that the
internal revenue laws be amended TO re-
d2ce or abolish the internal revenue tax
on tobacco, provision shall be made for
allowing rebate of tax paid on
stock on hand at the time such law goes
into effect; provided that such stock is
stamped and in unbroken packages. After
discussion the resolution was referred TO
the committee on ways and means
Mr., Kelley, during the course of the
discussion, said 1t is his purpose TO re-
lieye the trade Of agitation at the earliest
moment.
The shipping bill of the Joint COM
mittee was made the special order for
January g.
Mr. Kelley reported back the resou-
tion for a holiday recess without recon-
mendation and said the business of the
country would be facilitated if the hou re

days.
