! hihit the coming OF nsn lree into sho
United States. He had no doubt that
the New England fishing vessels were
now ready to be sent to get up the
trouble and that within ten
days after the rejection OF the
treaty the President OF the United States
would be asked to send vessels OF war
into Canadian waters if they we're not
sent there before that. While there vas
a door open to arrangements, wniio sl
the tendencies OF the American Admin
istration and all the apparent tendencies
of the British Administration at the
present time were in the direction OF
peace and tranquility and good order
they had better not be arrested, but
I free course should be given to the lnfu-
ence of equity and justice. In course
of the colloquy on this point and after
some illusions 70 the Yankees on one
side and to ex shareholders on the other
between Morgan, Frye, Dawes and
Hawley)-
Mr.. Morgan said You have not hest
tated TO sheer ut us and TO say that we
are rebels, traitors, men not to be trust
ed. men who violated our oaths and at
tackled the national flag, men whose con-
sciences are burdened with political sin
that We all deserved to be hanged, aud
that We are living now by your mercy
and grace and | have only said that
you did not dare TO hang any OF us. You
had Jefferson Davis under arrest, and
the United States Government did not
dare TO bring him TO trial, because it
would have turned out, in the opinion
Of the great iurists who would have had
TO try him, that he had not committed
| treason.
Mr. Frye: When the Senator from
Alabama was making these charges he
was looking at me. l beg him TO re-
member that in the whole course OF this
debate [ have made no charge or insinua-
ton against him. | am full-blooded
Yankee. but l do not know man on
that side Of the Senate for whom ] have
9 more profound admiration than have
for him.
Mr.. Morgan: BY eyes wandered to
the face Of the Senator from Maine be-
cause | knew that they rested on an hon
est and benevolent face, and 1t WAS some
relief TO me 10 have that opportunity
when looking on that side OF the chamr
Der. Laughter.
DIR. Morgan continued ut some length,
end when he Ind concluded heated
general political debate arose, partici-
pated in by MesSrs. George, Vest, Teller,
Chandler. and Stewart. Finally MIR. Fry
asked unanimous consent TO have the
vote on Dir. Morgan motion to postpone
the treaty until December next taken at
II o'clock tomorrow. There was no ob-
lection, and il was 70 ordered.
Mr.. Beck called attention to tho speech
recently made by Senator Voorhees, in
Terre Haute, asserting that Mr.. Harrl-
son had voted fifteen times against the
bill to restrict Chinese immigration, and
said that the statement had not been con-
tradicted. Upon this another political
debate arose, tue issue being the record
Of the Republican and Democratic par
ties upon the question Of Chinese restrlc-
ton.
Mr.. Allisonp presented the conferencere-
port on the army appropriation bill.
which, without being read, WAS ordered
to be printed in the Rccord, to be acted
on tomorrow.
The Senate then, at G:l5, adjourned.
House or Representatives..
The lack of a quorum was made imme-
diately apparent this morning when Mr.
Cultivate called up his motion to recon-
slider the vote by which the Senate Co
lumbus- Exposition bill was amended by
a provision for the expositIons at hich-
mond. Va. Atlanta and Augusta, Ga,
and Kansas City, No. Not more than
one hundred members voted on the ques-
ton and Mr.. Cultivate let the matter
drop for the present.
MIR Sayers, OF Texas, moved that the
House go into Committee OF the Whole
for the consideration Of the Notifications
appropriation bill
Mr.. Townshend. of Illinois, who yes
terlay antagonized this motion said that
his object had been 10 postpone the con-
sideration OF the bill until the differences
between the two Houses on the army APP
preparation bill had been settled. lie
had urged the Senate confeuees to set
tie the differences, but had been unable
10 secure any action. He had, therefore,
concluded to wait no longer and he with
drew any further opposition to the iortl-
fications bill.
The House thereupon went into Com
mittee ofsthe Whole (Air. Springer, Of
Illinois. in the chair on that measure.
The pending point OF the order against
the section providing for the establish
ment OF a gun factory at Nateryhet
arsenal WAS withdrawn by Mir. Town
shend, renewed.by Mr. Turner, Of Kansas,
and oyerruled by the Chair.
Dir Nutting, Of New York, offered an
amendment appropristing $780, 900 for
the erection of drY-dock and the pro-
per machinery, buildings, and appliances
at some point on Lake Ontario for
the building and repairing OF armed
ships. The discussion OF this amendment
took wide range, but Was principally
devoted to the wisdom of providing some
means Of defending our northern from
tier from aggression from Canada IN the
event Of war between the United
States and Great Britain. Here again
the antagonism between the friends Of
the army appropriation bill and those OF
the Notifications bill came promptly to
the front
Alr. Nutting's smendment was ruled
out of order, but the general discussion
was continued by unanimous consent
and branched off to the relations to the
interstate commerce law of those Cana
dian railroads which have a connection
with The United States. Coming back
to the bill under discussion again, amend
ments were offered and defeated pro-
viding that the gun-Iactory provided for
in the bill shall be established at tho
Allegheny arsenal, instead of the
Wateryliet atsenal at South Bethlehem,
Pa, and Liberty arsenal, No.
