FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS.
WAsH1NaToN, Feb. il, 1886

WASHINGTON, Feb. Il, 1Soo. SENATB.-Mr. Teller submitted an amend ment to the Eustis resolution, directing in quiry into the alleged loss of money in the loss occurred in connection with the ex change of silver certificates for coin; ordered printed.
 Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, introduced bill repeating all treaties permitting the coming of Chinese to the United States except in the case of diplomatic and official personagss.
 The bill to regulate the promotion of West Point graduates was next reached Mr. Sewell said this was the first year for a long time when there would be more student graduates from that academy than there would be vacancies in the army-there would be about twenty eight more graduate than could be now appointed, but the neces- sary vacancies would probably offer them selves in the course of three or four months.
 MT. Plumb thought as we now had about 2,800 officers in our army-one to every eight private soldiers-that number was sum- cient.
 Mr. Logan said the bill was intended to restore the practice of allowing graduating cadets the pay of second ieutenants till aP- pointed in the army. By recent treasuty ruling they got no pay.
 MT. Edmunds favored the bill and it was passed.
 The Blair educational bill then came up. MT. Morgan opposed it as unconstitutional.
 After short executive session the Senate adjourned till Monday.
 HoUsE-Mr Reed, of Maine, offered a resolution modifying the order making the Fitz John Porter bill continuing special or der from to-day until next Thursday so as to prove that the bill shall not be considered until the second morning hour on each day; adopted.
 Mr. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, asked leave to introduce bill granting pension of g, GOO per annum to the widow of Gensr- al w. s. Hancock, but MT. Beach, of New York, objected.
 Mr Wellborn of Texas, from the Com mittee on Indian Affairs, reported the Indian appropriation bill, and it was referred to the Committee of the Whole. ~ The House at 9 o'clock went into Commit tee of the Whole on the Fitz John Porter bill.
 The debate was opened by MT. Haynes, of New Hampshire, in support of the bill. Nothing new, he thought. could be brought for discussion. The same evidence so often sifted was all that was in the case now. No witnesses could be summoned who would not be recognized as old acquaintances. He argued that Porter was justified in using his own discretion in interpreting Pope's orders.
 MT. Steele, of Indiana, opposed the bill, beginning 'sWhat in thunder are we here fora Why are we discussing Fitz John Por- terl" He went on to say that he should vote against the bill, as the evidence showed that Porter was disobedient.
 At the conclusion of MT. Steele's speech the committee rose and the House at 4:45 pm. adjourned.
