The report Of the conference committee on
the Indian appropriation bill wss agreed to.
The Senate struck OUT the provision abol-
ishing the Office of Indian inspector and or
dering detail of i've army officers TO act as
Inspectors, and the House receeded from dis
agreement on that point The bill is there
fore disposed of as far as the House is con-
cerned.
The House went into q committee on the
fertilization bill
Mr.. Rorr explained the provisions of the
bill preferred by the majority of the commit
tee. the most important of which have been
Published.
Mr.. Dorsheimer delivered long and able
speech in favor of putting the
country in a state of defence. He compared
the condition of the United States with that
of China. winch was such that any European
country that chose to have controversy with
her could hold tue Chinese cities at its mer-
cy. II has been said that there was no ques-
tion disturbing the foreign relations with this
country. Doubtless there were none, but the
fathers of the republic had not seen tit to
let matters stand as TO whether the question
should rest solely on the will Of the foreign
power. The difficulty Of the present policy
is to let such questions rest on the win of for
eigners alone. When the American minister
demanded of the French minister OF foreign
affairs the Withdrawal Of the French srmV
from Mexico, he was asked: s.How many
troops has your government in Texas" The
answer was "rhere are two hundred thous-
and men in Rio Grande under Gen. Sher-
man." IL vas the moral suasion Of this mill
tary force that led TO the withdrawal of the
French army. The House should recall
how slight the circumstances that lead 10 the
withdrawal af the American minister from
Berlin and of the German ministr from
Washington. The international relations
always rested on delicate grounds. No SOON
er would the Panama canal be in operation
than il would be found that the water way
was as important to American greatness and
prosperity as the Mississippi itself, and that
the United States would have great deal TO
say about it, lie hoped that the relations
with foreign governments would continue to
be those of friendship and proposed that Con-
gress would do what would be the most effec
tual in keeping foreign nations friendly, by
making not extravagpnt, but due and timely
preparation for war. Applause.
The committee then rose and MIR. Elliot Of
Pennsylvania, from the committee on cleo
tions reported a resolution declaring John s.
Wise entitled to retain h,s seat as represen-
talive at large from Virginia.
The conference reported on the bill TO pro-
vide for the disposition of abandoned and
useless military resolutions, and the House
adjourned
