Congressional Proceeding.
WASHINGTON, July LIN the House,
| Randall submitted a report of the Con-
ference Committee on the Naval Appropri-
| alton bill, announcing its inability to
| agree. The chief item of disagreement ia
the appropriation for new cruisers and the
continuation of work upon the double
turreted monitors. Randall said nothing
but instructions from the House would
cause conferees to yield on these two
points applause on the Democratic sidel,
because they had not that confidence in
the manner of construction Of these cruis-
ers that warranted further expenditure OF
public money in order to duplicate them.
Besides there was not thrown around
these propositions that safeguard in the
expenditure Of the money which present
circumstances known to the country, war
ranted, and which should be thrown
around q department which is now the
subject of investigation. As he said be-
fore, there was nothing that would induce
the present conferees to yield in these two
points, except q direct vote of the House,
and when that vote was given he trusted
the House would select some other con-
fierce than him. Applause on the Demo-
cratic side.
Calkins said the question was whether
the building of a navy should be delayed
another year, and whether, after expend-
ing millions of dollars on the monitors,
work should close. The investigation in
the Navy Department had nothing to do
with the cruisers or monitors. Randall
admitted that was SO, but asserted it
should have its effect upon members in ap-
propristing money for q department
where there had been maladministration.
In the Senate, Cockrell, from The Com
mittee on Military Affairs, reported favor
ably, with an amendment, the House bill
relieving from the charge of desertion SOL
diers who served until the expiration of
their term, and all improperly charged
with desertion. The bill, after amend
ment, passed. AS it passed it requires
that application shall be made within five
years from the passage of the Act.
The House bill passed granting q PEN
sion OF $50 Q month to the widow of Gen.
James B. Steadman.
A joint resolution was introduced, yes
terday, by Cameron of Pennsylvania, d.
recting the Secretary of the Treasury to
redeem $40, 200, 900 worth of trade dollars
at the face value. 1t was laid before the
Senate.
Morrill, moved to refer the resolution to
the Committee IN Finance. Agreed, yeas,
So; nays, 20.
Butler called up his resolution directing
an investigation into the condition of the
New York banks. Morrill, moved the ref
erence of the resolution to the Committee
or Finance. Agreed to, ayes, 80; nays, 16.
The consideration of the River and
Harbor bill was resumed.
The conference report on the Naval bill
has been agreed to. The House disagree
ments were insisted upon, and a new con-
ference ordered.
Orange Outrages at Twillingate.
ST. JOHNS, July 1.-Two Orange out
RACES are reported from the northward at
Twillingate. Sixteen loaded guns were
fred into the house of Capt. Wrey, and his
windows were smashed with huge stones.
The Wreys are one OF only three Catholic
families in Twillingate.
At Green's Pond Harbor four southern
vessels took refuge from a southwest gale
and a flowing field of ice. On Tuesday
last the Orangemen attacked the crews
when on shore. They manned them
brutally and pursued them to the vessels
with large ballast stones, smashing the
companion doors, the skylight, cabin
stoves and furniture, breaking the bull
wark mi forcing the vessels to push
out into the storm. Another outrage
was perpetrsted on Saturday night BY
the crew of the bark Eli Bank.
They broke into the Catholic Church of
st. Mary's, in st. Mary's bay, and demol-
ished the furniture and appointments of
the sanctuary. destroyed the tabernacle,
distracted the chalice cibarium and other
sacred vessels, smashed the candelabrs,
and strewed the debris about the streets,
and the various decorations of the church.
FIVE were arrested. As soon as the knowl-
edge of the dissertation of the church
spread among the Catholic population, not
less than 500 boats were manned for the
purpose of scuttling and firing the vessel.
The influence of the parish priest and
merchants prevented the destruction of
the ship and cargo.
The Cuban Trade.
MADRID, July LIN the Senate. Prime
Minister Costello stated that Spain abso.
lutely has no intention Of selling Cuba.
There was an important interview yester.
day between American Minister Foster
and Costello. and Senior Elduayen, Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs. The Spanish Min.
ister showed q desire to arrive at an equi-
table commercial arrangements. Foster
assured them that America is animated
with an amicable view regarding the trade
with Cuba, and as far as possible would
feel inclined to meet the views OF Spain
n Cuba. He declared that America had
no desire to annex Cuba now, and for
some time America had no wish to assume
further political responsibilities. He
thought, however. that something must be
done for Cuba quickly. Mexico is al
ready importing sugar into America free.
and unless Cuba and the English West
Indies secured equal terms, it is evident
that their best market would be lost.
