omits tho appropriation for the Ericsson
"Dett royer' ana aboliehes the advisory
honrd. The Senate amendments for two
cruisers, one heavy gunboaf and one light
gunboat arc retained and 100000 Tor their
armament is appropriated.
Tho remaining dramatic Incident OF the
setsion was the passage OF the bill retiring
General Grant.
Mr.. Randail's first motion to suspend the
rules and fake up the bill was ruled out OF
order.
Mr.. Randall appealed to Mfr. Bennett to
withdraw tho election case. Mr.. Benefit said
II there could be a vote on the election case he
would permit vote on the proposition OF Mr..
KandHll.
MIR. Wilson Iowa) said II the House would
put General Grant on the retired list he was
willing TO be sacrificed.
MIR. Miller said II they would allow vote on
the Grant bill they would permit a vote on the
election case.
Cries Of 0oh, no; mol" amid Intense ex.
element and confusion. Finally Nc.
Miller yielded and vote taken on
the election case, and the resolution
declaring Frederick elected was carried with
out division.
Mr.. Randall then renewed his motion.
MIR. Mcmillan (Tern) demanded second
amid much excitelntnt, and cries OF bad faith
on both eldcs OF the Houee. The second was
ordered almost unanimously. Forty.two Fem
ocrots voted for the yeas and nays and they
The bill was carried by 106 to rs, and three
cheers were given for the hero OF Appomatt)x.
The speaker was authorized to telegraph GEN
eral Grant OF this action.
There was great deal OF excitement during
the rollcall, aud when, after the first roll.cali
the Speaker directed Frederlck's name, which
had pot been placed on the roll TO be called,
and he voted aye. II was received with
applause. The negative vote was mainly OF
the extrome Southern men.
ON motion OF Mr.. Springer, committee
consisting OF Messre. Springer, Cox and Long
were appointed to walt on the President and
inform him the House was ready TO ad lourn.
Mr. Boutelle (Me.) loudly announced that
the President had nominated and the Senate
confirmed General Grant ae general on the
retired list, Renewed applause.
Tho Speaker then, In neat address, de-
clared the Foriy.eighth Congressat at end.

NATIONAL LEGISLATION.
General Grants Reiirement a uthor-



There was nothing In the session OF the
Houto last night or this morning that had In
II anything sensational, and the agreements OF
he Two houses on appropriation bills made an
extra session impossible. Tho two houses set'
tied their differences In conference aud thon
agreed upon those settlements In separate
bodies. SO they were all gotten through With
out any great trouble.
There was, however, ecene this morning.
Mr.. Randall called up the bill which bad
passed the Senate authorizing without nance
the President 10 appoint man on the retired
list OF the Army as general. The House, by
vote Of 1893 TO rs passed the bill. This drew
the foor. II secured the designation OF Gen.
eral Grant TO be placed on the retired list Of
the Army with pay commensurate, under eS-
listing lave, With his rank.
General GRANTS Nomination TO the
Retired List Unanimously Con.
Htmtd.
In The Senate, as In the House, TO day, tho
only scene was over tho Grant bill As coon as
the Senate was Informed that the bill was
passed by the House II unanimously con.
lrmed the nomination that was promptly sent
In by the President, who, with his Cabinet,
waa nt tho Capitol. The confirmation OF Cen
efal Grants appointment was made IN open
session. When the unanimous vote In favor
OF II wos announced by the clerk the dignlfied
Senators applauded loudly, an unusual pro.
cedure on their part and the galleries Joined
10 with gusto. Thus wound up the present
Congress In both Houses, most nttiugly,
without any chance OF an extra session, except
that Of the Senate, which is customary with
new adminisiratiOn.
