I Robson, from the committee on apprC
priations, reported back the naval apprc
priation bill, recommending nOn-concuf
renee in all senate amendments except Il
amendments Nos. 03 and 81. Amendment
No. Gi is that relative to monitors, delaying
their completion until report has beer
made to congress by the advisory board.
The committee recommends the concur
renee In this amendment with an amend
ment providing that the report shall be
transmitted 10 congress by the secretary Of
the navy.
Amendment No. Go was verbal amend
ment, In the clause providing for the
launching Of monitors, concurrence is re-
commended with the amcndh ent asking
the words with such necessary attach
ments and appliances as will render re-
decking of the ships unnecessary.
Robson explained the report. The
senate in its wisdom had seen fit TO strike
from the bill many of the measures of re.
form which had been inaugurated by the
house. 1t had also thought il proper to
delay until next December completion Of
the monitors, and as that only necessitatcd
the delay of four or five months, he had no
special objection to that action. He had
no objection to these ships being sub
jected 10 a hundred boards, such was his
confidence in them. He concurred more
readily in this amendment because he was
innocent of all personal consideration. and
secuted the idea that he had any pride OF
opinion or that he desired to enforce in the
house or elsewhere any proposition which
was not ascertained to be for the substantial
good of the country.
Consideration of the senate amendments
was then proceeded with.
The amendments relating to items of ap-
propriatiunS were concured in and those
striking out the legislative features of the
bill were non-COncurred in.
Williams, chairman of the committee on
foreign affairs, submitted q report upon the
ili-Peruvian investigation. Placed on
the house calendar. The report was signed
by all members of the committee who
were present, among whom were Belmont
and Blount. 1t refers TO papers missing
from the files of the state department as
unimportant, but suggests that greater
care sh ould be exercised in keeping files
intact. 1t also declares that nothing was
addGCed in the testimony to implicate any
foreign minister or member of congress in
any improper effort to influence official ac-
ton in the interest of any claim against
Peru.
Anderson, of Kansas, offered resolution
providing for the final adjournment of con-
gress at y O'Clock on Friday, August 4th,
1882.
A noisy discussion arose upon motion
to refer this resolution to the committee on
appropriations. The republicans objected
to any action looking 70 adjournment be.
fore the revenue tax bill has been acted
upon, but the motion to refer was adopted.
Yeas, 50; nays, II.
a message was received from the presi- |
dent announcing that he withheld his sig
nature from the river and harbOr bill be-
cause the amounts appropriated are greatly |
in excess of those required for the fiscal
year just ended.
The senate bill appropriating $G7S,62i
for the printing and binding of the reports |
of the tenth census, was passed. The bill |
