THE HOUSE.

Mr.. Lawler, OF Illinois, presented resolu-
tions adopted by. the directors of the
Chicago board Of trade protesting against
the passage OF the joint resolution pro-
viding for the participation Of the United
States In the Paris international exposition,
on the ground that the decree of the French
government against the Importation OF
American salted hog products is an un-
friendly and unwarranted act on the part
Of the sister republic. Referred.
Mr.. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, presented
petition Of citizens Of Philadelphia aking
that letter postage bo reduced to l cent.
Referred.
on motion of Mr. Stewart, of Georgia,
the House proceeded to the consideration
| OF bill approprlating $4,000 for the en-
largement OF the public building at At.
lapta, Ga, and Mr.. Bland, of Missouri,
| sgain entered his protest against the log.
| rolling manner In which such measures
were passed by the House, and against the
emptying of the treasury and the waste
| OF the public money.
The bill was passed.
Mr.. Rockwell, of Massachusetts,, asked
| unanimous consent to have considered a
bill appropriating $4,000 for the erection
| Of flreproof workshop at the national
armory.
Mr.. Bland showed some disposition to
object to the BILL but refrained from doing
go on tne grOuuu InaJ ue InOuBub III WAS
only fair that, gentleman on the Demo.
cratic eide having been recognized, similar
recognition should be accorded to gentle-
man on the Republican side.
Mr.. Cannon, OF Illinois, said that as the
gentleman from Missouri had the right to
object and did not do so, he was not sincere
when he leetured the House.
| Mr.. Bland replied that the remark was
wholly gratuitous, and not In the line Of
conduct which the gentleman usually fol-
lowed. He (Bland) was as sincere as the
gentleman, and when the gentleman stated
to the contrary he stated what was not
true.
Mr., Cannon replied that the lack of sin
certify was shown by the failure of the gen
tleman to interpose an objection to the con-
sideration of the bill.
A demand for the regular order operated
as an objection, and the bill was not con-
sidered
Under the call of states the following
bills and resolutions were introduced and

que es un motive seguro para que

guiente interesante articulo:
"En esta Ciudad Sc hace un gran
comercio de platanos, y en- esta es
taci6n la mayor parte de este fruto
viene de Cuba, Jamaica y la Ameri.
ca Central. Hasta Ia fecha han lle'
gado 6 New York 1.178,S83 ra-
cimos de Jamaica y unos 771.8SS
raCimos dc la Isla de Cuba. La
estaci6n puede decirse que ha en-
pezado, pero 10 recibido este afio
hasta la fecha, casi es igual a la
cantidad total recibida en- el afo
de 1887. Sc calcula en- un 40 POI
ciento el aumento aAual en- Ia Ina
portacion del aho pasado, que fu6 de
1.629,O45 racimos de la America
Central y Jamaica, y S23,7O2 ra.
Cimos de Cuba. Desde 1881 & Ia

traen 1900 q 20 mil racimos, y loo
consignatarios no 10 estiman gran
cosa. Tai incremento ha tornado
el Comercio de platanos On New

Constantemente en- este trAfico
Nstos vapores han sido construido'
espeCialmente para el acarreo de
ese fruto. Tienen grandes recep-
