SENATE.-In the senate the same discus
sion about the rules was continued. Mr..
Frye threw some spice into the dull mon
otony OF the Sull proceedings, by an at
tack up n che commerce committee, which
he said should have something better to do
than spending it's time in distributing a
proper proportion of river and
harhor money to zach con-
gressioupl district. He declared that the
shipping of the country demanded some at.
te,ition which bad dtCl ned since 1861.

Win regard to the work of the committee
on commerce, Mr. NJ MILAN said that dur

on a crest variety If sIfjects. The err
chant marine had not been neglected. With

acted upon when it came time to 60 into
executive session.
HoUsE.-From the very warm discussion
over the preliminary disposition OF the
presidents message and the report OF the
Mississippi river commission In both houses
of congress IL is evident that congress will
find some other work besides tmkering
with the tariff. The house devoted almost
the entire day to the qnrstIen o. reference.
Three committees claimed iuris 3iction on
this subject-R -agan's committee on COM
merce. Willis committee on
rivers and harbors, and Kings
committee on Mississippi river i'm
provsment and levees. The gist of the
fight lay n the superstition that the refer
enee to the Kina Committee meant what
the president recommended-a separate
bill and q ioeral appropriation for the Mis-
slsslppi. A warm contest of words Tor su.
prenacy over this important measure was
the result. Over three hours of the session
wee used up in disposing of The matter,
several roll calls being taken before ii was
,dnally settled la favor of the committee on
rivers and harbors.
Resolutions we're adopted instructing the
proper committees to INQUIRE into the adj
vise biiity OF reialiatory legislation against
