After the executive session, the senate took
q recess until 10 a. IN. (Sunday.)
On Morrill's motion the committee on IL
nance was ordered to prepare a compilation
and index of existing tariff laws, together
with tabulated comparative statements of
rates of duties and imports under the several
tariff acts since the organic ttion OF the gov
eminent and such other statistics on the
subject as it may deem proper.
On motion of Mr.. Anthony a resolution
was adopted for the appointment of q COM
mittee to wait upon the president and in
form him that congress had completed his
business and was ready to adjourn. The
president appointed Anthony and Bayard.
At 11:45 Anthony and Bayard the senate
committee appointed TO wait upon the
president, reported that they had performed
the duty assigned them, and that the presi-
dent had stated that he had no further
communication to make congress:
The president pro tenn, assuming that the
president of the United States had signed
the sundry civil appropriation bill, appoin-
ted as senate members of the commission
provided for in that bill to inquire into the
compensation, ETC., of the officers and EN-
next congress, MesSrs. Plat, Cameron of
Wisconsin, and Cockrell. Precisely at II
O'Clock, President pro tenn. Edmunds
brought down his gavel and said: Senators,
The hour has arrived at which, by the con-
and laws Of the United States, the
Forty seventh congress terminates. | wish
each one OF you pleasant and safe jnurney
to your homes, and felicity in your future
lives. The senate stands adjourned without
day" [Applause.]
HoUsE.-The contested election case Of
Cook vs.. Cults Qowa) was settled in favor of
the contestant, who took his seat and was
sworn. Mr.. Kelly submitted the report of
the tariff conference committee.
A debate followed, Mr.. Kelly open ng it
and Mr.. Carlisle making an elaborate ar
gument against tie report.
Mr.. Dunnell avowed himself in a strait.
He was compelled to vote for the bill and
yet he yielded to the conclusion with the
utmost reluctancy. 1t was DO such O bill
as the American people had right to ex-
pect, or which the interests OF the people
had clearly and Enthusiastically demanded.
The bill did not meet his appreciation, and
yet because of some of its provisions he
would vote TOR it, but only under the most
solemn protest. If the Republican house
had had the courage, the pluck, the man
hood, to take S25,000,000 off of sugar and
b1O OG0 600 off of steel rails at the last session
they would not be here to-day witnessing
he incoming Of democratic admlnistra-
ion of the house.
The report was finally adopted and the
bill passed 152 to us An analysis of the
votes shows that the republican members,
except Messrs. Bayne, Brumm, Campbell,
Dawes Everett Fort HaZeltine Huobell
Miller, Bryce, T. NJ. Rice, s.
Robinson, E. B. Taylor, J. D. Taylor and
Urner voted for the report, and the demo
cratic members, except Messrs. Bliss Err
mentrout, Hardenburgh, Hardy. Harris.
Ladd Morse, Mitchler, Randall, Ross, SEQ
vile, Wilson, George D. Wise, and Morgan
R. Wise voted against it.
The majority in the house was much
larger than was anticipated. In the early
doubt about the passage of the bill and
many members declared the house would
not sustain it. Many protectionists asserted
they would not vote for the bill under any
G; "reminiscences but some Of these were not
strong enough to resist tie popular demand
for some reduction of taxation now; so
when the vote was taken, they recorded
their names for the bill.
Gen. Washkurn said that it was gre
victory for the republicans and gave them
an important advantage in politics. While
the bill did not suit IN many respects, he
voted for it because it was the best thing he
could do in the direction ofreduction and
revision. This view is entertained by
majority of western and northwestern mer.
Mai. Strait seemed very much pleased thst
the matter was out of the way, and eX-
pressed satisfaction at the result, although
it did not go as far in the desired direction
as he could have wished.
Then the deadlock upon the election case
continued until o'clock when Hiscock
presented the conference report on the sun
dry civil appropriation bill. The house re.
cedes from its disagree, ment to the senate
which strikes from the bill the
provision for the repeal of the presumption
laws and ratification of the Sioux treaty.
The report was agreed to. HisCock intro
1uced a joint resolution appropriatieg $780,
300 for the alteration of internal revenue
dies, plates, stamps, and for blacks for
claims for rebates, whichEpassed.
the usual scenes attendant on an all night
session was enacted Though the galleries
we're practically vacant the attendance on
he floor was good, and members lounged
back in their chairs and smoked, and told
stories and laughed to their hearts content.
s. ortIy after o'clock Mr.. Robinson rose
IN called Afternoon 10 the DOuf. his COLL
,ress was making a record be'ore the cOun-
ry, and record in history. He thought
would agree with him that too
much whisky had been taken OUT of bond
already [shouts of laughter. 1t was in the
interest of good order and good government
hat the house take recess for three hours
n order to avoid any difficulty, any personal
and i'll order to AVOID any false
attitude before the country.
At $50 the house took recess until $50. |
The usual vote of compliments to the speaker
vas passed with some obligation.
In the course of the forenoon Knott, stat |
ng that his congressional career would in
IN hour and half close forever, applied to
he courtesy and mognanimity of members
% let him have the poor priv tlege of vote
n bill in which the people of his congress
ional district and state were profoundly in
crested.
"What bill is it?" asked his colleague,
White.
'It is bill such number" Knott replied. !
"What!" exclaimed White, in tone of /
urprise and horror. ''The whisky bill, and |
IN Sunday! Never Never! Loud laugh
er.1 call for the regular order"
At 11.3) Mr.. Reese offered the following |
esolutjon, which was unanimously adop- |
