question being on the amendment report
ed from the finance committee, allowing
a bounty OF one cent per pound on sugar

cane, grown in the United States.
The debate on the amendment lasted

Messrs. Gray, Butler, George and Reagan
on the opposite side.

Pennsylvania, who voted with the DEM
ocrats against it.
At SIS p. nj. the Senate adjourned un-
til tomorrow.
HoUsE.-Mr, Buchanan, OfNew Jersey,
objected to the approval of the journal.
contending that it was incorrect in the
statement that unanimous consent was
yesterday granted to Mr.. Springer. OF
Illinois, to offer as a substitute for the
Dakota bill, his omnibus bill with certain
amendments, instead of House bill s466;
which; under the special order, he was
permitted to offer.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, who was in the
chair yesterday when the proceedings
occurred, stated that he had submitted
the request for unanimous consent and
that it had been granted, and in this
statement he was corroborated by Mr..
Toale, of Montana, and Mr.. Symes, OF
Colorado.
Mr.. Buchanan thereupon withdrew his
objection to the approval of the journal.
Consideration of the territorial bills
was then resumed, the pending question
being on the Mcdonald substitute for the
Springer omnibus bill, which is itself a
substitute for the Senate Dakota bill.
The House proceeded Immediately to
vote upon the Mcdonald substitute,
which has never been read, but which
embOdies the main features ofthe omnibus
bill, except that it provides for the i'm
mediate admission of South Dakota.
The substitute was rejected-yeas III,
nays 1872, Messrs. Mcdonald and Tars-
ney being the only Democrats joining in
the solid Republican vote in favor of the
proposition.
Mr.. Springer then offered an amend
ment to the omnibus bill, providing that
if division of Dakota is authorized, and
a majority of all the votes cast at the
election provided for in the act shall be
i'll favor of the Sioux-FaIls constitution
Of 1885, it shall be the duty of the con-
vention which may assemble at Sioux.
Falls to submit to the people of South
noIyoEa c,,rscofscfooA,D.,
Sioux-Palls constitution of 1885; and
also articles separately submitted at that
time including the selection of temper
airy seat of the government, with such
changes as the Senate may name, and as
to the boundaries of the proposed State
to the re-apportionment of the Judicial
and legislative districts, and such Other
amendments as may be necessary tC
comply with the provisions of this act.
Mr.. Springer demanded the previous
question on the pending amendments, OF
their third reading.
The Republicans demanded further
time for debate, but Mr.. Springer wa
obdurate. rAtil Mr.. Symes, of Colorado
threatens. l1fhat unless an hour wa
allowed for discussion, the republican sid
would resort to filibustering.
Under this threat, Mr.. Springer signifies
his willingness to permit the debate t,
run on for an hour.
Mr.. Randall, however, came forwar
with an objection which he based upo
the fact that the territorial bills ha
nonopolized the time OF the House 70
the past week, to the exclusion of th
appropriation bills. ThereuPon th
edict Of don't vote" went forth fror
the republican side, and as the edict wa
obeyed, the HOUSE was left without
quorum.
Mr.: Springer then Withdrew his deman
for the previous question, and the edebat
proceeded.
Mr.. Perkins, of Kansas, moved t
amend the Springer amendment b
providing that ifthe Sioux=Fa alls constitl
ton is ratified by the people of Sout
Dakota, the President shall issue h
proclamation declaring the State
South Dakota admitted into the Uniol
