The Animal Industry Bill Again Before
the Senate.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The Senate at
o'clock this afternoon resumed consideration
of the bill for a bureau of animal industry,
to facilitate the expectation of live stock
and their products, and to extirpate contag-
ious pleuro-pneumonia. All the amend
ments recommended by the Committee on
Agriculture had been agreed to pro fOrHld,
so as to allow the committee to shape the
bill as it thought best Mr.. Hiscock made
a speech in opposition to the bill. He
regarded as unconstitutional the clause
authorizing the Board of Commissioners to
appoint officers, arguing that such appoint
ments could only be made by heads of de-
partments, and he also regarded as un-
constitutional the right of search conferred
upon these otfic ais.
Mr.. Coke moved that its further consider
alton be postponed till Thursday, and that
it be made a special order, and that in the
meantime the bill as amended he printed.
Mr. Frye sent to the clerks desk, and had
read a letter from Mr.. Buregh twhom he
spoke of rs ore of the most experienced
cattle raisers in Maine) noting defects in
the bill as not providing for a
case of tuberculosis, a dreaded and in
durable disease. which causes Through
infected milk the death of 80, 900 children
a year in the large cities of America or for
a case of CHAMBERS in horses. Mr. Frye
moved to amend the bill by mentioning
those two diseases, and the amendments
we're accepted by Mr.. Palmer, who has
charge Of the bill.
Mr.. Cokes motion was then agreed to,
and the bill was made the special order for
Thursday next.
The bill to provide for the admission Of
the State Of Dakota into the Union, and
for the organization Of the Territory Of
Lincoln, was then taken up; and it took its
place as 1.-THE unfinished business.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The bond pur-
chase bill as amended by the Senate was
returned to the House to-day and referred
by the House TO the Committee on Ways
! and Means. II is believed that this commit
tee will recommend that the House non
concur in the amendments of tho Senate
but it is probable that the House will N
eur in them. There is a diversity Of opiu-
ion as to whether the President will sign
the bill if it reaches him in its present
shape, but the best opinion is that no will
not. It's re-enactment of the clause in the
appropriation act of March, 1881 !,
which the President and tine Secretary
Of the Treasury did not think conferred

silver amendment is directly opposed TO the
Presidents proposition on silver.

the New Law Was in Effect.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April 6.--In the
United States Circuit Court this afternoon
the case of Rice VS.. the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, involving the question
of ratio discrimination in favor of the Stan
dard Oil Company came up on a demurrer
to the bill Judge Hargis appeared for
Mr.. Rice; Barnett & Noble represented the
railroad company, and Brown, Humphrey
Il Davis appeared for the Standard Oil
Company aud the Chess-C -Carley Company.
Judge Barnett argued that even
admitting the fact of discrimination,
the plaintiff had no remedy at
law as the offence for which it was sought
to recover occurred before the passage of
the interstate commerce law, and as the
common law did not apply, nor could this
court apply any statutory provisions of any
Of tho States to interstate commerce. Judge
Jackson sustained this position and ordered
the bill dismissed. A motion for an appeal
was at once entered and granted.
