United States Senate.
WASHINGTON, February 25th.-Allison,
from the Committee on Appropriations, re-
ported the legislative, executive and jud cial
appropriation bill, and asked immediate
consideration.
The bill was taken up, and its reading
proceeded with.
At 7:15 P NJ, it becoming apparent that

the Senate adjourned.
House of Representatives.
WASHINGTON, February 25th.-Considera
ton was resumed of the river and harbor
bill upon its third reading, under which the
previous question was operating, and the
House proceeded to vote on the amend
ments reported from the Committee of the
Whole.
Two hours were consumed in voting upon
the amendments separately, as the question
of no quorum was raised in nearly every
instance, neceSsitating q tedious vote by
tcllerS
Several motions to adjourn were made,
and severally voted down. Then motion
was made for recess. and no quorum
having voted, call of the House was
ordered. The Sergeant-at-Arms having
been dispatched in quest of absent mem
bers, the House lapsed into a comatose
state, as far as business was concerned
The greatest listlessness was evinced by
members, and the proceedings under the
call were not even marked by the hilarity
which usually characterizes them.
This continued until half-past 8, when
White of Kentucky secured the floor on a
motion connected with the call of the
House. His presence was the signal fol
cries of Louder" Leave to print,
Vote, and so forth, and general shouts
and confusion, while Weaver, in the guise
of parliamentary inquiry, asked whether
the man with the most mouth was entitled
to all the time of the House. amid shouts
of approving laughter.
White called the attention of the House
to the fact that the gentleman who was
jeering at him was violating openly the
rules of the House by smoking on the
floor
This turned the laugh against Weaver,
who quickly retarded that it was necessary
for man to do something to keep from
being bored to DEATH but White was not to
be diverted from his purpose of making a
speech, which he continued to do, to the
intense enjoyment of the House at large,
but to the manifest annoyance of the
friends of the river and harbor bill. Jeers,
laughter and shouts greeted him on all
sides, and confusion reigned supreme.
Finally Van Eaton, rising to what he
stated was a question of the highest privi-
lege, stated that the successor of the gentle
man from Kentucky was present. and he
moved that he be now sworn in. Laugh
ter
White-I will say to the gentleman that
if there had been fair election in his dis
trict, his successor would have been here
Van Eaion-And if there had been an
intelligent election in the gentlemans dis
trict he never would have been here
White was then interrupted by point
of order that he was not speaking to the
question under discussion.
White-I did not digress until | was in
terrupted by the gentleman-if the House
will permit me TO call him so-from Ne
braska and the member from Mississippi.
Hammond demanded that the words be
taken down, whereupon White withdrew
them.
Hammond said he would ask for no &C
tor. because. though the remarks of the
gentleman from Kentucky were out of
order he had been greatly provoked.
White then proceeded with his speech,
and amid misses from the Democratic side,
he referred to President-elect Cleveland as
being in saloon in Buffalo with the boys.
Oh said Gibson, " this is disgraceful.
The gentleman shall not utter falsehoodS
Oh this floor"
Browne of Indiana demanded that the
words be taken down.
Several Democratic members shouted,
Withdraw them"
No. replied Gibson, Il donot take them
back, but repeat them"
The language was read at the Clerk S
desk as given above.
Browne said he was not surprised that in
the confusion the reporter had not taken
down accurately the remark of the gentle
man from West Virginia. The language
used was, " And the gentleman has been
standing here uttering deliberate false
hoods"
Ellis and Buckner stated that their under
standing of the gentleman's language was
that he had used the word advertising
instead of " uttering."
Gibson, being allowed TO make state
ment, said his language was this: sub
nit that the gentleman from Kentucky has
no right to stand on this floor and adyer-
tise deliberate falsehoods."
Browne then moved that iii the Judgment
Of this House the language used by the
gentleman from West Virginia was unpar-
Iiamcntary, and in violation of its rules,
and that he is subject TO the censure of the
House.
On motion of Hammond, Brownies mo-
ton was tabed-ayes 132, noes &C.
At 11:45 motion to adjourn was lost
ayes 105, noes 1l0-but at u o'clock a
similar motion was carried, and the House
adjourned.

the County Court, an application was made

resident in this city, for the privilege of
adopting Philip Brown, a white child, four
months old, now in the custody of the
Foundlings' Home. Judge Pendergast an

day, and denied the petition. What adds
force to this decision is the fact that Dong

business in the practice of his profession,
