SENATE.
WAsnINGToY, June GA bill was intro
duced and referred by Mr.. Jonas, of Louis
lana, supplementary to Incorporating the
Texas d Pacific railway company and for
other purposes, and anendatory thereof
identical with the bill introduced by Rep.
resentative Ellis on the 9th irstant)
A bill passed providing for the settlement
of accounts with the Mobile & Ohio rail
road.
Mr.. VanWyck introduced the following
resolution.
Resolved, That in considering the ques-
ton will the senate advise and consent to
the nomiaation OF persons named by the
president TO be members of the tariff COM
mission that rule &C be suspended so that
said question shall be under consideration
in open session and not with closed doors.
Mr.. Mcmillan reserved all points of or
der on the resolution, which was laid over
till Monday.
The senate after 2 o'clock took up as un-
finished business the japanese indemnity
fund bill. During the debate Mr.. Morgan,
in charge Of the BILL construed an inquiry
by Mr.. Cockrell as an insinuation that he
was interested in securing the payment OF
money to Japan, through the hands of a
third party He said that those to whom
his character was known understood per-
lectly well that he was not the pimp of any
body, or did he allow lobbyists to come
and whisper in his ear calumnies against
his colleagues. He would have regarded
the inquiry as an insult had he not
known that the senator who propounded it
was indulging in suspicion that was un-
worthy Of him. Mr.. Morgan then ex-
planned that this suspicion had been
tongued repeatedly in debate; that he had
inquired into it and had even gone to the
japanese minister to find whether there
were any grounds for il, and was satisfied
there were none. He had no doubt that
Lobbyists had been at work, but he charged
that they were those who had determined
that no money should be paid to Japan
unless they had hand in it, and unless
riders were put upon the bill.
Mr.. Cockrell disclaimed having imputed
any improperly to Mr.. Morgan, and ex.
pressed surprise that the senator should
become so exceedingly sensitive when
asked legitimate and pertinent question he
explained that his inquiry had been based
upon u statement made to him by u repu.
table gentleman, that an attorney in Wash.
ington had been employed by.Japanto repre-.
sent that government in connection with
this legislation. He did not complain OF
this, but If n reputable gentleman had been
employed, he was disposed to regard the
bill more favorably.
On that account Mr.. Morgan said the
charge d'Aiiairs of the japanese govern
ment was the only representation Of that
government of whom he had any knowledge
in the premises,
Mr.. Sherman thought that whether the
attorneys were employed or not was en-.
tirely immaterial. He believed that there
was no deliberative body in the world freer
from lobby influence than the senate of
the United States, and when outside in
lluences were introduced their effect was al
most invariably TO injure the cause they es.
poused. He then discussed the merits of
the bill, urging that the subject be COM
pletely disposed fin some positive man.
ner.
After some further remarks by Messrs
Maxey, Bayard and Window, the bill was
laid aside without action, and the senate
at i.S0, after short executive session, ad-
iourned until Monday.

Journal the house went into committee of the
