FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, July 16, 1886.

WASHINGTON, July 10, 1ooo. SENATE-Bills were passed increasing the pension of J. R. Ryan and granting pension l to James Moves Mir. Cockrell characterized the latter as mere act of charity to 8 colored preacher.
 ] After the passage of ten more pension bills the Senate resumed consideration of the river and harbor bill. After some discussion the reading of the amended bill with the original amounts reduced twenty per cent. was pro- ceeded with and the "eccentricities" pointed out by Mir. Ingalls, were corrected as they were reached. The reading of the bill was interrupted and message from the House was presented insisting on it's disagreement to three or four amendments to the legislative appropriation bill An understanding was reached that the Senate conferees should not yield on the part of the House to the Senate amendment to pay clerks for Senators and the conferess, Messrs. Allison, Dawes and Cockrell, were rsappointed.
 The reading of the bill being resumed Mir. Logan moved to increase the appropriation for improving the harbor at Chicago from $75,000 to $150, ,o00 and argued in support of the amendment.
 The amendment gave rise to an amusing debate between Messrs Logan and Ed munds, in which each cast some ridicule on the other. MT. Edmunds alluded to MT. Logan as always having chip on each shoulder and contrasted the social character of Chica- SO N1Gu JAG dudTculSG clcluouIo ol US pOpui1- tion with that of Burlington, Vt. NIT. Lo- gan, while admitting that there were some people in Chicago not very law-abiding, de- nied that any of them were so ''pestiferous" as tn, Senator fro m Vermont was in the Senate.
 The amendment was rejected.
 Mr. Vest moved to increase the appropIia- ton for the Missouri river; rejected.
 At this point the conference committee on the legislative bill reported a further disa- greement and the Senate voted to insist on it's disagreement.
 When consideration of the river and har bor bill was resumed MT. McKenna offered an amendment proposing to empower the President to withhold any amount appropri- ated if in his judgment the public interest would be subserved thereby. The amend ment was tabled.
 Mir. Vest moved to increase the appropria- ton for the Mississippi river from the passes to Cairo from $1 ,6S7, ,500 to $2,250, ,000; ta- bled.
 The question was then taken on agreeing to the committee amendment reducing the appropriations twenty-five per cent, and it was agreed to; yeas 31, nays 14. Those voting the negative were Messrs. Dawes. Frye, Hale, Harris, ,Hawley, Hearst, Platt, Riddleberger, Salisbury, Teller, Voor- hees, Whittlehorne and Wilson of Iowa.
 The Senate then took up the naval appro- priation bill. All the amendments reported by the committee were agreed to without de- bate or question and the bill was passed.
 Adjourned.
