Unlted States governments. The bill went
over till tomorrow and the senate adj
journed.
The House.
When the house met to-day in morning
session the clerk laid before it a letter
from the speaker announcing his enforced
absence from the city for few days on
account of important business, and upon a
motion of Mr.. Mills of Texas MIR. Mcmillan
of Tennessee was elected as speaker pro
TEN. Mr.. Mills asked unanimous consent
that the 9TH OF August be assigned for con-
sideration of bills reported from the COM
mittee on labor, with the exception of the
convict labor bill. Mr.. Spinola of New
York objected to this exception. Mr.. Mills
stated that unanimous consent could not
be procured unless an exception was made.
Mr.. Spinola replied that in that event the
labor bills should die just where they were.
The request was not granted. Mr.. Debble
called up the conference report on the
Omaha, Neb., public building bill. After
long debate the report was rejected
yeas 81. nays 92-and the bill was again
sent to conference. On motion of Mr.. Hol-
man the bill passed for the revocation of
the withdrawal of lands made for the
benefit of certain railroad (the bill which
applies only to the Iowa and Minnesota,
authorizes the secretary of the interior
whenever land grant is adjusted and
there is found to be an excess of indem-
nifty lands to restore such excess to the
public domain). On motion of Mr.. Town
shend further consideration of the defic-
iency bill was postponed and the house
went into committee of the whole on the
army appropriation bill with the senate
amendments. All the amendments were
non-concurred in with the exception of.
those relative to Notifications and ord
nance. Mr.. Townshend then moved the
non-cOncurrence in these amendments in
bulk, but MIR. Buchanan demanded that
they should be considered in their order.
Mr. Townshend then moved non-concur-
renee in the first amendment appropri-
ating $500 for the repair of the sea wall
and wharf at Willet's Point, N. Y. MIR.
Sayers Of Texas said the senate had no
more right to put their amendment on the
army bill than they had to put them ON a
judicial bill. 1t was a question which in
vOlved the dignity and power of the house.
Mr.. Cutcheon of Michigan said if there
was anything to be done in the nature of
provision for armament ana fortifica.
ton it must be done by the army appro-
priation bill, and while he would vote
with his committee in favor of nOn-con-
currence, he hoped in the end the amend
ment would be agreed to. Mr.. Blount of
Georgia wanted to see that the house con-
ferees was instructed to inform the SEN
ate conferees that the house would never
yield. He would rather see the army bill
fail than see the senate dominating this
body. Mr.. Reed characterized as absurd
the position taken by the gentleman from
Georgia. He admitted that there was not
one chance in hundred of war, but if
wariShould come the United States would
undergo national humiliation more ter
rible than had ever before been inflicted
on the face of the earth. Pending action
