made a confession of his guilt to
the officers, but the terms, OF the alleged

How the sheridan Biil Was Put Through
transactions In Brief
WASHINGTON CRY, June Both house
and senate did some quick work yesterday in
the passage Of the bill promoting Gen. Sher-
idan to the rank of general of the army. The
bill was passed by the house after Kilgore
and Oates had persistently objected to it and
Breckenridge and Mills had earnestly urged
its passage, Oates alone voting nay Then IL
was sent to the president who signed it and
sent the nomination to the senate, which inn
mediately went into secret session and con-
firmed the nomination. The senate passed
this house bill amending the acts in regard to
agricultural college experimental signal sta
tions and then took up the Indian appropria-
ton bill and passed it after debate in
which Plumb attacked the administration OF
the Indian department. while Bate defended
it. The senate adjourned until Monday.
The house first disposed of the bill making
Gen. Sheridan general of the army, and
then, Peters appeal against the decision OF
the chair on his point Of order having been
defeated, took up and passed the completed
legislative, executive and judicial appropria-
ton bill The conference report on the Gus
toms deficiency bill was agreed~to. several
more amendments adopted, and the bill sent
back to the senate. In committee of the
whole the debate on the tariff bill was re-
stunned, aud the proposal to postpone the time
Of going into effect of the lumber clause dc.
feated Attempts to exclude the importa-
ton Of foreign prison-made goods and goods
controlled by trusts were defeated also The
lumber cuses wore debated for some time,
and finally Mills asked that they be passed over.
The articles affected had only yielded a reve-
nue. last year of $l93 50. The request was
refused, when he moved that debate on this
matter be limited TO ten minutes more, and
pcndmg vote on that question recess was
taken till night, when a session was held, at
which twelve private pension bills we're
passed and the house adjourned.
