il was explained by Mr.. Allison that

House. The report was agreed to.
Mr.. Allison submitted the conference
report on the bill to amend the Pacific
railroad acts, and it was agreed to.
The Senate then took up the legisla-
tive, executive, and judicial appropri-
alton bill.

committee on the bill making appropri-
atoms for the Department of Agricul-
ture, submitted a report, which was

bill tomorrow.
Mr.. Plumb inquired whether if thai
we're the case il would obviate the
necessity of joint resolution to con-
tinue the appropriation temporarily.
Mr.. Allison thought not. The two
houses would be obliged Tomorrow to
pass joint resolution extending the
appropriations of the current year until
the legislative bill, the naval appropria-
ton bill, the sundry civil bill, and the
District Of Columbia appropriation bill
should become laws.
Mr.. Edmunds inquired when the

Mr.. Allison: "On the 18th Of
June"
Mr.. Edmunds Six months after
the Senate met and within seventeen
days Of the time when the annual appro-
piiStiOns run out"
Mr.. Allison Yes the most i'm
portant appropriation bills were not sent
here till the month of June, and what
ever responsibility there is for having
TO pass joint resolution extend
ing the appropriations does not rest Cd
the Senate"

chain on the sundry civil bill.
Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, moved to
increase from 100000 to 100000 the
appropriation for protecting public
lands from fraudulent entry.
After q long debate, in which the
animosity on the Republican side
, against Land Commissioner Sparks
again came prominently to the front,
Mr.. Springer withdrew his amendment.
Some time was spent also in dispute
between MessIs. Weaver, Of Iowa, and
Perkins, of Kansas, which afforded the
House considerable amusement, and
which became so warm that both gem
tlemen were talking at once. The ques
ton at issue was as to the position
which each gentleman bore to the occu-
patton of public lands, and the cattle
syndicate, Oklahoma boomers, and the
gentlemen themselves came in for fair
measure Of abuse.
Mr.. Herbert, Of Alabama, criticised
the publication OF the geological sur
vey, and endeavored to have the APP
preparation for that bureau slightly re-
duced, and some restriction placed upon
its expenditure; but no changes were
made III these sections Of the bill.
Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa, criticised the
items appr0priating an aggregate of
about 500, 900 for new furniture for the
Executive Mansion, for the care Of the
green houses at the White House, and
for general incidental expenses. What,
he asked, could the present head of the
Administration, welded as he was
to Jeflersonian simplicity, want
with s29, 600 for furniture and flowers? |
The President would no. tolerate such |
useless expenditure. 1t was known
that when be neryed himself to the
thanklesS duty Of yetoing the pension
bills Of sixty destitute soldiers or
widows he was constrained by his official |
oath constrained by his official duty, |

Yet those pension bills aggregated less |
than g. 600, one fourth ofthe sum which |
this committee was trying to force upon
him to expepd for furniture and flow
ers.
Mr.. Randall remarked that the bill |
appropriated $4,000 for repairs and
furniture for the Executive Mansion,
while in 1883 $4,000 and in 1884
$4,000 had been appropriated for a
like purpose SO that the committee
