PoRTERs CONFIRMATION.
LoGan's Absence Not to Entirely
Prevent Opposition.

WASHINGTON, July 24,-Although Gen.
Logan has gone away, Fitz John Porter's
nomination will not be Confirmed without
opposition. Messrs. Harrison. of Indiana,
Hawley, of Connecticut, and Henderson,
OF Nebraska, the three Republicans who
voted IN committee VITA Mr.. Logan
against the favorable report on the nOni-
nation, propose TO delay its confirmation
as much as possible. They will be able
to prevent its consideration at the next
executive session, when 1t will belreport-
ed by interposing single objection at the
next succeeding executive session. How
ever, it will be entirely possible tor the
majority OF the committee to call up the
case and secure confirmation.
HARRIsON's REASONS.
The reasons assigned by Mr.. Harrison
to account for their opposition seems
rather strained. He is quoted as saying
that as Gen. Porter is not vet "a years old,
the age for retirement, if confirmed 1t will
be in the discretion Of the President to as
sign hun to active duty and keep him
there until his Gath year; that as Porter
if confirmed will be the ranking Colonel,
ne would IN case Of a vacancy higher up
be in line for promotion as Brigadler Gen
eral and would at least reach
the retired list with a higher grade than
Congress intends. Mr.. Harrison main
tains too that Gen. Porter would reap
large pecuniary benefit from longevity
pay and would be entitled to much
larger salary than Congress proposes to
allow him. AS Gen. POrter's friends point
out there is no reason to believe that the
President will do anything more than
place Gen. Porter on the retired list as
Colonel. as the act for Porters relief per-
mts him to do.
ADJOURNMENT PROSPECTS.
1t is generally believed at the capitol
that all the appropriation bills will be
signed by Aug ,. They have all passed
both houses, except the sundry civil, the
general deficiency and the Qualifications.
The sundry civil bill as amended by the
Senate, will be considered at once by the
House Committee on Appropriations, and
on Monday it will go to conference. The
general deficiency and the Notifications
bills have not yet been considered by the
Senate Neither Will take much of its
time. 1t certainly seems as though it
would be quite possible Tor Congress to
adjourn the first week IN August.
THE PAYNE CASE.
"The Payne case" said an Ohio Repub-
lican Representative to-day, sis closed
for this session of Congress, but it is not
ended by any means. Next winter the
Ohio State Senate will prepare such an
indictment as the United States Senate

SHORT WORK IN THE SENATE.
A Number of Resolutions Reported
and A cted On in a furry.


and Acted On in a Hurry.
WASHINGTON. July 24-On motion of
Mr.. Hoar the Senate to-day passed the
House bill to permit the entry, free of
duty, of dutisble foreign goods for exit
bition at the fourth biennial exposition OF
the United States Bottlers Protective
Association.
Mr.. Malone, from the Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds, reported
back with an amendment the House bill
for the erection OF a public building at
Jacksonville, Fla. The amendment was
agreed to and the bill passed.
Mr.. Malone also reported the Senate
bills for public buildings at Oxford, Miss,
and Charlotte, n. G. They were put on
the calendar.
Mr.. Miller asked leave to call up the
blu to amend the act prohibiting the I'M
pOrtation of contract labor.
This was objected to by Mr.. Edmunds
on the ground that the bill proposed to
Give the execution Of the law to State
officials.
Mr.. Coke offered a resolution discharg-
ing the Committee on Finance from fur
ther consideration OF the House Joint resO-
luton for the payment OF the surplus in
the Treasury on the public debt. lie gave
notice that he would call it up Monday
and ask a vote upon 1t.
The resolution offered yesterday by Mr..
Edmunds instructing the Committee on
Foreign Relations To inquire into the viO-
lation Of the rights Of American fishing
aud merchant vessels in Canadian waters
was taken up and adopted.
Mr.. liawley, from the Committee on
Printing, reported back the House bill

/ nnpiaa of tho RapOr6 free Of QharupN n
each legation abroad. 1t passed. Mr..

in chronological order. This was adopted

ments adopted as in committee of the
whole except such as were reserved Tor
special vOtes) were agreed to. The first
amendments reserved were those IN
reference 10 the issue of silver certiii-
Gates. Mr.. Beck demanded the yeas ana
nays on the amendment to strike out the
words ION all surplus silver dollars now
in the Treasury in payment OF approprla-
tions made in this bill, and other eXpendl-
lures or obligations of the government
Mr.. Sherman appealed to Mr.. Beck not
TO attempt to force such legislation on the
Dill at this stage of the session.
A BREACH OF FAITH.
He believed 1t to be breach Of public
faith and contrary to the pledged faith OF
the nation. Discussion of 1t at this time
seemed to he a mOckery of legislation.
It's passage would alarm the public
credit and do much to bring about con-
dition OF affairs which every body would
regret, in which gold would disappear
from circulation and be either boarded or
exported. He had no objection to Con
the contrary he favored) the issue
OF 81, 81 and s. certificates, instead of
large denominations, as silver was in
tended for the minor wants of trade. This
legislation proposed revolution in the
currency which would endanger the
whole foundation of the financial
system of the country. 1t had no place
in the bill, being q change of the eX-
listing law, and not being reported by the
Committee on Appropriations or the Com
mittee on Finance.
He trusted that the gentleman from
Kentucky would have reasonable defer
ence for the opinion of others who had
studied the question as much as he Mr..
Beck had. 1t seemed to him an unpar-
dOnaole piece of legislation at this time.
SHERMAN sILVER's ENEMY.
Mr.. Beck replied to Mr.. Sherman, stat
ing that the proposition had come from
the House of Representatives and was in
the bill. 1t had been distributed among
the Senators tor a month and had been De-
fore the Committee on Finance at the
suggestion of the Senator from ONO him
self, and not acted upon. He declared
that the silver coinage of the country had
never had more inveterate enemy than
the Senator from Ohio.
Mr.. Sherman denied that accusation
and claimed TO be a better friend TO silver
than the Senator from Kentucky. The
discussion was continued by Messrs. Ed
munds, Harrison, Allison, Teller, Jones
of Arkansas, and others. Mr.. Allison
characterized the House provision as a
crude and undigested provision which
had been put in The bill for a single pur-
pose only-and that was to coerce the un-
willing President or administration.
After considerable discussion and vote g
on a variety of amendments the paragraph
as to silver certificates was lett in the
shape in which it was fixed this afternoon
by the Senate as in committee of the
whole. The bill was then passed and the
deficiency bill was taken up and the first
reading dispensed With. The Senate then
at 10:30 O'Clock adjourned.

LAND ENTRY LAWS.
The Senate and House Conferecs Not
Apt to Agree.

The Senate and House Conferecs Not
Apt to Agree.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-TEe conferees
on the bill to repeal the pre-emptcn, tim
Der culture and desert land laws have not
yet been able to reach an agreement.
The cOnierees on the part of the House
have made a proposition looking to
compromise, which is now under cOnsfd-
Grafton by the Senate conferees. The
proposition is that the House shall vail
date all entries OF lands where actual
bona fide settlers are in possess
sion, either as entrymen or as as
signees, and that other entries which
would be affected by the passage OF the
bill shall be confirmed or rejected by ap-
piicatiOn to them Of the practice that pre-
vailed in the Land Office at the date the
entries were made. The last saving
clause of the proposition was added TO
forestall any complaint that might be
made to the effect that the construction
given to the laws by the present Commits
sioner is unduly severe on entry men.
But little hope is entertained OF an agree
ment in conference, as the Senate con-
ferees insist upon adherence to their bill,
and the cOnferees on the part of the House
refuse to sanction what they regard as a
Wholesale yaldatiOn of existing entries
without regard to their nature

INCREASING THE NAVY.
The Naval Committees Substitute
Finally Passed the House.

Finally Passed the House.
WASHINGTON, July 24.-Immediately
after the reading OF the journal the House
went into committee of the whole. with
Mr.. Crisp in the chair, on the bill for an
increase OF the navy. After speeches by
Messrs Herbert, BOutele aud others the
original bill was read by sections for
amendment.
Mr.. Ballentine moved an amendment
apprOpriating 81. 100000 for the cOnstruc-
tou of cruiser of between $500 and
$500 tons displacement, with speed of
not less than twenty knots, upon plans,
designs and specifications furnished by
Charles ID. Lundberg, of New YORK. This
was adopted 10y vote Of ~ to 96. (Thls
amendment is intended as Il substitute
for the clause providing for the coDstruc-
tiOn of three protected dOubie-bottomed
cruisers
DYNAMITE GUN CRUISER.
On motion Of MIR. Buck an amendment
was adopted inserting in the bill tho pro-
vision contained in the substitute for a
dynamite gun cruiser.
Mir. Boutelle moved to strike out the
clause which authorizes the Secretary
OF the Navy in certain emergencies to i'm
port armor tor new cruisers. This was
agreed to by vote Of l0l 10 81.
Mr. DIduJs VI NHEluids OutIeQ hU
amendment providing that one of the new
vessels shall be built at the Norfolk navy
yard. He was afraid that unless such a
provision were inserted in the bill the
President and the Secretary OF the Navy
would discriminate against the Norfolk
yard. The amendment was rejected.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill TO the House.
Mr.. Bailenune's amendment was re-
iected without division.
The other amendments were voted upon
in bulk and they were rejected by a vote
Of los to i'll.
Mr. Herbert then offered as a subs IT,
tute for the bin the proposition agreed to
by tie Committee on Naval AdaIrs, and
which has been published. 1t was agreed
to by a vote OF III to l04, and the bill as
so amended was passed.
