HoUsE.-The river and har5or bill occu-
| pied the whole day and night. Every item
developed opposition, and in the discussion
ofpro forma amendments the enemies OF the
bill deferred action.
Their purpose evidently is to defeat The
bill by makingit impossible to have it con-
sidered in the senate. Among the amend
ments was the striking out of the clause APP
propriating Sl5 600 for improving st. An
thony tails in Minnesota. Gen Washburn

When the paragraph was reached,
Mr.. Flower of New York, seemingly in
retaliation upon Mr.. Washburn for his
charge last night that all the clamOr with
regard TO the river and harbor bill had been
initiated in the city only Ill the interest Of
the great trunk railroads, insinuated that
Mr.. Washburn was personally interested in
the improvement OF st. Anthony Falls.
So Mr.. WaShburn, rather than rest under
this iprprtntinn 1nSyaH To Ctrito tho
from the bill. Although NUMEROUS amend
ments were offered to the bill, very few OF
them were adopted. Most of the days SEES
sion was occupied in consider
ing the sppro priations for me
improvements of the Mississippi river. TIE
entire appropriations provided for this pur-
pose emounl to 81, 25OO00. Ia the evtI3ing
there were several disgraceful scenes very
mearly resulting In personal collisions.

Wyck with the democrats. Cameron
OF Pennsylvania announced that he
had pair with Hampton, who he was in
formed would vote the same way as he

a sensation as the report was beaten, but

Ciined to vote, at once voted aye with the
