Inc speaker kdlu OclOIS lit A1Ou6c q "
to increase the naval establishment with
the Senate amendments therefor, and Mr..
Hurlburt, of Alabama, moved a concur
renee in the amendments. Mr.. Hurlburt,
and Mr.. Boutelle, OF Maine, entered into a
discussion as to the position taken by the
Republican and Democratic parties
on the question Of an increase OF
the navy and counter charges OF hos
fifty to the Naval bill were INDUCED in.
In O speech Mr.. Reed said that whatever
the House had done it had rendered futile
by delay. The Surplus resolution had
been put through with insufficient debate
and in such q form that it could not re.
ceiye the assent of the Senate. Instead OF
passing the Cullom Interstate Commerce
bill and thus giving q measure OF relief to
the country, the House had passed a diff
ferent bill and thrown the matter into a
conference and nothing would be done.
Whatever the Democratic majority had
presented to the House it had presented in
such a fashion that debate could not reach
it, though it was the very life and essence
OF honest, manly legislation, that there
| should be full and free discussion.
MIR. Reagan, of Texas, regarded Mr.. Reeds
remarks as to the Interstate Commerce
| bill as extraordinary. That the bill had
been combatted by the whole railroad
| powers OF the sountry and the lobbyists
had always been here to retard the action
| OF the House and this was the first time in
| the history OF it's consideration that the
| bill had been passed at the first session.
| The gentleman, Mr.. Reed. complained That
the House had not passed the Senate bill.
| Whv had not the Senate in the past acted
upon the bill as the House had three times
passed it. The bill was now in conference
| and if tho conference led to no result it was
because the power which had heretofore
prevented action would continue to pre-
vent it. He was sure that it was the de-
sire of the House conierees that some re-
suit should be reached. =,
The Senate amendments to the Nav
| Establishment bill were concurred in n
the bill, after the signatures OF the Speaker
| and the President of the Senate ave been
attached, will 60 to the President for
his approval. Mr.. Randall, OF Penn
sylvania, from the Conference Committee
on the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill re-
norted q disagreement. After 8, sharp de-
bate on the Senate Yellowstone Park
amendment the conference report was
agreed to and q further conference ordered.
On motion OF Mr.. Kendall q Joint resolu-
ton was passed extending until August .,
the provisions of the joint resolution pro.
vidinq temporarily for the expenditures OF
the Government. The Speaker proceeded
to call the States for the introduction Of
bills.
Mr.. Baker, of New York, offered a resolu'
tion of rehabilitation, self commentator,
modest laudation and hearty congratula'
ton by the responsible majority OF thu
House. The reading OF this wa
demanded by Mr.. Payne, o. P~snnsyivanla
and the document proved to be stump

: the Democratic President for sins OF m
3 s;on and commission. Several times MI
Reagan. of Texas, interrupted the readin
& and objected to q stump speech beng In

that as the document was presenter unde
the call of States and was in the form Q
