House..

The speaker announced the appoint
ment Of Manzanares, of New Mexico,
upon the committee on coinage, weights
and measures.
The morning hour disposed with, the
house went into committee of the
whole-Converse, of Ohio, in the chair
or the naval appropriation bills.
Mr.. Finerty presented a petition to
the house to-day, signed by citizens of
Chicago, asking for a more vigorous
enforcement of the Chinese law and
some amendments 80 MS TO make it
more effective. Referred to committee
on foreign affairs.
In the curse Of a warm discussion
Henley reflected severely on the present
secretary of the navy for instigating,
as he believed, methods by which en-
ployes of 1.-THE Mare Island navy yard
were compelled to vote the republican
ticket at the last election.
Reed inquired whether anyone had
been murdered for not voting right, to
which Henley replied that it would not
be much loss to the world If the men
who required such methods were muir
dered, and Glasscock interjected the in
formation that the employees were, if not
murdered, at any rate discharged If
they did not vote right.
Randall denied that the committee
on appropriations exhibited the least
hostility to building up the navy. He
did not believe there was any consider
able number of republicans who did
not esteem the navy and its brave Off
GERS, and seek to make it what 1t should
be and not what it was now.
Calkins moved to amend the clause
prohibiting officers on the retired list
from accepting positions in the civil
service of the United States, providing
that said prohibition shall not apply to
any officer below the rank of major in
a company or commander in the navy,
who may have been retired by reason
Of wounds received while in the GER
vice. Adopted.
The committee then rose and re-
ported the bill to the house. Passed
ayes, 259; nays, l.
On motion of Randall the request OF
the senate for a conference on the joint
resolution increasing the contingent
fund of the senate was agreed to, and
Randall, Holman and Ryan appointed
as c~onferees.
