WAsuINGroN, June 2l.--Ihe scene
mon the floor Of the House this morn
inc seemed to portcnd disaster to Mr.
Randall and bis sundry-ciyil appropria-
t;"n hi twas suspension day. After
tbe ali Of States for the introduction OF
Ills and resolutions, and while that
Was proceeding Mr.. Morrison fitted
backwards and forwards between his
pest. the Speakers chair, and the desk
oi MIR. Reed, the leader OF tho Repub-
licap forces. The latter gentleman
called a council OF his lieutenantS in
the lobby, lasting upwards Of half an
hour, and then paid visit to Mr.. Nor
rison. IL was soon apparent that Reed
was unable for once TO deliver the
goods, as Morrison visited tho Speaker
a second time, and then settled back in
his seat silent and sullen. At the
conclusion Of the call, Mr.. Randall not
only put the House in Committee Of
the Whole on the sundry civil-appro-
priation bill, but succeeded in cutting
oil the general debate, so that 1t was
started IN the line Of consideration un-
der the fye-minutes rule. being read
section by section for amendment. The
warm weather ia having IT'S effect on the
members. and, combined with the I'M
ceTtaiutios attending upon the nomI-
mating conventions back in the dis
tricts, will undoubtedly briag about
a final adjournment about the 10th Of
next month. There we're any aumbeT
Of pet schemes knocked out by the ac-
ton Of the House in letting Mr.. Ran
iall have the day for his bill,
which is clear index that the
statesmen are anxious to get away
FOR the summer vacation. The first
business Of tho day was the amendment
offered By Mr.. Golf to the naval bill,
which was voted down, and the bill was
passed. 1t is thought tho action OF the
House in taking up the sundry civil bill
will sGectually block Mr.. Morrison in
his attempt to secure another vote on
The consideration Of his tariff bill.
There was quite 4 large attendance on
to-day's sitting, the members remaining
in the city to beat Mr.. Morrison to-
morrow should he make an attempt 10
