HoUsE.-The house went into committee
OF the whole (Mr Blount in the chair on
the fortification appropriation bill. Mr..
Butterworth directed attention to what he
regarded as the gross remissness of con-
gress in failing to make an appropriation
for coast and harbor defenses. He spoke at
much a length on this point and criticised
the hostile attitude OF the majority in the
house toward the administration.
Mr.. Randall maintained the bill was
in no respect hostile to the proper arma-
ment OF the United States, but it's purpose
was to secure knowledge of the require
ments of the occasion. Referring to Mr..
Cutcheon's remarks upon the defenseless
condition of the whole coast, he sug-
gested that Great Britain was wiser than
the gentleman. England knew that the
moment she began war with the United
States, the United States meant that she
should not have a foot of ground on this
continent, and she was not going to be
guilty OF disturbing the peace of the coun.
try,
Mr.. Davis Of Massachusetts,, from the
committee on commerce, reported favor
ably to the house the bill to protect the
freedom OF commercial intercourse The
report says
That by the act of une 8 last the presi-
dent is authorized to issue his proclamation
excluding vessels of foreign countries from
the exercise OF commercial privileges in the
United States ports in certain contingen-
cies. But the bill which is now reported,
while adopting the privileges OF that act,
enlarges the scope of its application in
order that the president may have ample
power, whenever our vessels are denied
commercial rights in any port OF foreign
country, to protect our commercial inter-
ests by the employment of the most COM
prehensiye and vigorous measures in their
behalf.
SENATE. Nearly the entire day was
passed in debate on the bill taxing oleo-
margarine. Mr.. Butler offered an amend
ment extending the principle OF the bill to
wines and liquors. Messrs. Gray and Har-
ris opposed the bill. The latter had offer
ed an amendment making it unlawfo.. to
sell oleomargarine within the Dis
trict of Columbia or the territories
unless it was distinctly parked as such.
He was in favor OF the bill to that extent
and no further. Mr.. Harris amendment
was reiected-1S to 32. Mr.. Beck said:
This bill was protection run mad. Con-
gress might as well undertake to protect
the breed of horses against the raising oi
mules or to protect coal men against the
the competition OF natural gas.
Mr.. Buffers amendment was laid on the
table. Yeas, SO; nays, 16.
Mr.. Butler said that this bill was the
most fragrant and unblushing in its viola
tions of the constitution OF any ever intro
duced in congIe ess. He asked il the artificial
coloring OF butter was not fraudulent.
Mr.. Ingalls,. in calculating that question,
produced a vial OF coloring matter, and;
commented upon the circular accompany
