WAsHIyGros, July 3.-The time OF the
House was largely taken up yesterday in
successful efforts by Mr.. Anderson, of Iowa,
to prevent the passage.of the Union Pacific
funding bill under suspension OF the
rules.
Mr.. Anderson, OF Iowa, introduced bill
for the regulation of railroads acquired by
the United States under judicial forfeiture.
He demanded il be read in full. For two
hours the clerk continued to read the bill,
when Mr.. Belmont of New York, on q
question of privilege, presented the confer
ence report on the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill, and it was agreed to.
The conference report on the bill author
izing the Mississippi and Louisiana rail-
road to build bridge across the Mississippi
river at Natchez was agreed to, as was the
conference report on the Legislative appro
priation bill.
Unsuccessful efforts were made to secure
unanimous consent for the consideration of
the dependent pension and Nicaragua canal
bills.
When the reading of the Anderson bill
was concluded, Mr. Anderson Immediately
introduced bill establishing a municipal
code for the District of Columbia The
bill made volume of 32l pages and its
reading WAS demanded Further efforts
were made to secure the consideration OF
other bills but they proved unsuccessful,
and when il was seen that the filibustering
would continue for the rest OF the after
noon the House at $40 adjourned.
THE SENATE.
The passage of the river and harbor bill
bill was the event in the Senate.
The conference report on the legislative
appropriation bill was concurred in.
The river and harbor bill was taken up
for the purpose of having separate votes ON
certain amendments. The demand for a
separate vote on the Hennepin canal
amendment Was withdrawn by Mr.. Vest
and motion TO reconsider was made by
Mr.. Sherman, but afterwards withdrawn.
Another amendment was withdrawn and
the appropriation stands as made by the
House.
The amendment appropriating $135, 900
for the purchase of the Green and Barren
river improvement in kentucky was
agreed TO.
The amendment abolishing the Missouri
River Commission was disagreed to after q
long discussion, in which Mr.. Hoar de-
nounced the criticisms which be claimed
were so generally indulged in by some
Senators and newspapers relative to river
and harbor bills. He had become sick, he
said, of hearing Senators trying to blacken
the character of their own associates in
public life. Mr.. Hoar's remarks were made
in response to suggestions by Mr.. Vest that
appropriations in the bill were made by
species of agreement, not to say log rolling
between Senators.
An amendment appropriating $3.50, 600
for the purrhsse of the Portage Lake canal
and the Lake Superior ship canal, was
agreed to; also one increasing the appro-
priation for ST. Johns river, Florida. from
$3.50, 900 to $500
An amendment reducing the appropria-
ton for the James river, Virginia, was not
agreed TO, and the appropriation remains az
$225.OO0. The bill was then passed. (The
bill as originally reported from the Senate
committee on commerce appropriated $2l,-
652, ,Ts3. At it passed yesterday itappro-
PIRATES 81, 4T4, 1888.
The conference report on the Nstchez
bridge bill was agreed to.
On motion of Mr.. Hoar, the fishery treaty
was postponed until July 10.
Mr.. Turpie then took the door and read
an address on the Presidents annual mes
sage. He asked what had chespened and
pauperized labor in India, Egypt, China, or
elsewhere, and asserted that il was caused
by the long ages of commercial restriction
and repression, the entire inhibition of for
eign traffic, constant seclusion and isola-
ton Of manufactures and an exclusively ill
ternal consumption of work and wares.

Continuing he said: The candidate of the

man of no inconsiderable capacity, of great
mental force he had that which was not
often found with such Sualities-a harsh
intolerance of society. Deeply touched
and ;inged with the prejudioes of an ex-
elusive class aristocracy, he belonged to that
group of reactionary statesmen traditional
paternalistsl whom the people had so often
rejected and would reject again. When
Mr.. Turpie concluded the Senate went in to
secret session. and at l:35 adjourned until
Thursday.
