Mr.. Morrison seemed to accept philosophi-
cally his defeat on the tariff bill. He said
he was not disappointed in the result, and
had fOreseen it for many months. This was
a thing to which the party and the admins
tration were pledged, and he had to make
the fight, hit or miss. When asked whether
he intended to again attempt to call up the
bill on Tuesday next, with smile he said:
TT viii give them a chance to repent" but
he declined TO express any opinion as to
whether he expected change in to-day's
result. Adjourned.

In the house on June 18th, on molten of
Mr.. Weaver, of Iowa, the bill passed author
izing the construction of bridge across the
laid before the house message from the
president announcing his approval of the
shipping bill, but pointing out defect
which he discovered to exist in the measure.
The message is as follows: "Ulon the exam
ination of bills originating in the house of
representatives, numbered 483, 1884, and 838,
entitled, an act to abolish certain fees for
official service to American vessels, and to
the laws relating to shipping commissioners,
seamen and owners Of vessels, and for other
purposes, find that there is such failure to
adjust existing laws to the new departure
proposed by the bill as to greatly endanger
the public service, if the bill should not
be amended, or at once supplemented
by additional legislation. The fees which
are at present collected from vessels for SER
vices performed by the bureau of inspection
and which made up certain expenses appur-
tenant to that bureau, are, by the proposed
substituted directing that such expenses
shall be paid from the public treasury, or
any other source. The objects of the bill
are in the main 40 useful and important
that have concluded to approve the same
upon the assurance of those actively pro-
noting its passage that another bill shall at
once be introduced to cover the defects
above referredto. The necessity of such
legislation is so obvious that
I hope it will receive immediate action from
congress. The message was referred to the
shipping committee. The house then went
into committee or the whole on the naval
bill. Adjourned.
In the house on June 9th the speaker
