a Reception in Honor of President
Cleveland and Bride.
Especial to the PREss.l

WASHINGTON, June 17.-The protection
lists in Congress are jubilant tonight. They
have laid out the Morrison tariff bill by a
majority of II in the largest total vote Of the
present session. Mr. Morrison waited until
half-past one in order to give time for Mr.
Holman of Indiana to reach here from his
home, where he had gone to lock after his
fences. Promptly at that hour he moved
that the House resolve itself into committee
of the whole to consider the tariff bill, de-
manded previous question, and asked for
yeas and nays. Mr. Mckinley, of Ohio, who
led the opposition, joined in the request for
ayes and nays, and they were soon ordered
BY vote of 40 to 157 the House refused to
go into committee of the whole and the much
talked Of tariff bill was dead for this session
Mr.. Morrison gave notice that he should re-
peat the motion on Tuesday. 1t is thought
by many that he did so to let himself down
easily, and will not renew the motion. Ii he
does it will only result in burying the re-
mains of the bill
The Senate today passed without amend
ment and without division Senator Fryea

XLIXth CONGRESS- FIRST SESSION.
SENATE

WASHINGTON, June II.
In the Senate this morning, Mr.. ingalls, Of
fered resolution requesting the President,
if in his opinien not Incompatible with the
public interest, to furnish to the Senate in
formation as to the appointment and remov-
al of clerks embraced within the provisions
of the civil service act of Jan. 16, 1888; also
as the chief clerks and chiefs of divisions.
On the suggestion of Mr.. Cockrell, who
wanted to amend and enlarge the scope of
the resolution, it went over one day.
The Senate then proceeded to the consider
alton of bills on the calender under the five
minute limitation of debate. Among the
bills passed was one to pay to the represent
ative of the government of Great Britain to
enable that government to indemnify the
owners of the British bark Chance for aban-
doning their whaling voyage in the Arctic
Oceanin 1871 and rescuing 90 American sea-
men from shipwreck in the ice. Mr.. Frye
explained that the action of this bark was
most humane and creditable. Having heard
that American vessels were so placed as to
involve the destruction of all hands, if not
speedily relieved, the bark promptly aban-
doned its own business for the season and
went to the rescue of the Americans. Mr..
Frye thought it shame that this claim had
for so many years been before Congress
without passing.
Among the other bills passed was one ap-
propriating $4,000 for the completion Of the
public building at Concord, n. H.. also a
bill to promote political progress and COM
mercaf prosperity of the American nation.
This is Mr.. Frye's bill authorizing the Presi-
dent of the United States to invite, on behalf
of the people of the United States, delegates
from MeXicoand Central and South America
to meet in Washington Dec. 1st, 1887, to meet
delegates on the part of the United States
to consider such questions and recommend
such measures as shall be to the mutual in
terest and the common welfare of the Amer
lean States.
The legislative executive and iudicial ap-
preparation bill was received from the House
