postponed, and tie House went INTO COM
mittee Of the Whole on the Army Appro-l
priation bill with Senate amendments. All
the amendments were non-concurred IN
with the exception of those relative 70 ror-
tifcations and ordnance.
Mr.. Townshend then moved non-concur-
renee In these amendments in bulk, but
Mr.. Buchanan demanded that they should
be considered in order.
Mr.. Townshend then moved non-concur-
renee In the first amendment, appronriat-.
ing $500 for the repair Of the sea wall
and wharf at Willett's Point, N. Y.
Mr.. Sayres, of Texas, said the Senate
had no more right to put these amend
ments in the Army bill than it had to put
them in judicial bill. 1t was a question
which involved the dignity and power Of
the House.
Mr.. Cutcheon, of Michigan, said if there
was any thing to be done in the nature Of
provision for armament and Notifications
it must be done by the Army Appropriation
bill. While he would vote with his COM
mittee in favor of non-concurrence, he
hoped that in the end the amendment
would be agreed to.
Mr.. Blount, of Georgia, wanted to see the
House conferees instructed to inform the
Senate conferees that the House would
never yield. He would rather see the
Army bill fail than the Senate dominating
this body. He was willing to resort to
every parliamentary method to prevent
the preparation of this outrage on the
House.
Mr.. Reed characterized as absurd the
| position taken by the gentleman from
Georgia. The position was that because
the rules of the House sent certain bills to
certain committees, the Senate had to con-
form to those rules in the amendment OF
| those bills. The position was in conflict
not only with the Senate-that the
House could stand-but with COM
mon sense, and that the House
could not stand. He then spoke of the i'm
portance of the proposed legislation. He
admitted that there was not one chance
in a hundred of war, but if war should
come the United States would undergo
National humiliation more terrible than
had ever been inflicted on the face of the
earth.
Pending action the committee rose and
the House adjourned.
Hot Winds Damaging Corn.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, July d.-The chief
topic of discussion at the Board of Trade
to-day is the Southern Kansas corn crop.
Almost every dealer on the board has adj
vices from Harper. Great Bend and other
Kansas points reporting that during the
last two or three days hot winds have
been sweeping over that section of the
country, and that the damage to the corn
crop, while it can not be estimated, will be
exceedingly great.
