the House met this morning in continue

that the House go into committee of the
whole on the river and harbor bill, and
pending that moved that all debate be
limited to an hour and half.
A session was ordered for tonight for
the consideration of the legislative ap-
preparation bill.

regular order to be consideration of
pension bills, coming oyer from last
nights session.
Willis said it was clear the intention
of the House yesterday was to devote
this mornings session TO consideration
of the river and harbor bill, and asked
unanimous consent that the regular
| order be dispensed with, but Reed
objected.
The first bill coming over was one
granting pension of $1,000 per annum
| to the widow of General George II .
Thomas, and after debate it passed,
yeas 143, nays 50.
After considerable discussion, the
question required on the motion to
limit the debate on the pending sections
of the river and harbor bill to one and a
half hours, and it was agreed to. and
! then the House went into committee OF
the whole on the bill indicated.
1t was finally decided to devote an
hour and half to debate on the river
and harbor bill, when a discussion arose
as to how that time should be dis.
tributed, and long continued scene OF
confusion resulted.
After discussion and without action
the committee of the whole arose, ano
| the House took up the pOstoffice appro
priation bill, under the operation of the
previous question.
Amendments increasing from "a 100,
600 to 81, 535 900 the appropriation fol
the letter carrier service; increasing by
100000 the appropriation for the star
route service, and striking out the clause
granting additional compensation tC
American steamships for carrying mails
were agreed to and the bill passed.
The House went into committee OF
