WASHINGTON, September 16th.-The Senate
bill pa sed for the relief OF Admiral s. P. Carter.
| On motion of Carter of Montana, the Senate
amendment was concutred in to the House bill
authorizing the Secretary of the Interior TO sub
nit a proposal for the sale of the western part
OF the Crow Indian reservation In Montana:
The House then proceeded to the consldera-
ton OF the Enloe resolution relative TO the Ken
nedy speech. 1t directs the Clerk TO communi-
cate to the Senate that the House reprobates
and condemns Rennedy's language as unpar-
liamentary. The pending question was on the
point OF order against the resolution raised by
Irosvenor OF Ohio.
Blount of Georgia, on arguing the point re-
called the Brooks-Sumner episode, and cited
the action of the House in that case Whenever
g member of this body arraigned a Senator as
felon and traitor by reason of his conduct in
regard TO legislation, there could be no question
but the character of the House was assailed.
He (Blount) was not here to vindicate the
character of the Senator from Pennsylvania,
He was not here to investigate whether or
not TIE charges made by the gentleman from
Ohio were true but the question of the char
aeter ana dignity of the house was one with
wit icil the members had something TO do and
for which the people would hold them TO rigid
responsibility.
Bayne of Pennsylvania offered resolution
referring the Enloe resolution, together with
Kennedy's speech, TO the Committee on Jud1cl-
ary, with instructions 10 report within three
days.
Cannon of Illinois favored a reference of the
resolution to the committee in order that the
House might act inteliigently. In the present
form of the resolution the whole speech, in
| Guiding the unobjectioDable portion, would be
| expunged from the Record. If il were adopted,
| the speech would be expunged, whlle most OF
the Objectionable part OF 1t cited by the gentle
| man from Tennessee (Enloe) would remain as
| par. OF his remarks.
Enloe suggested that the gentleman from Hi
nois was hardly the person 10 make reflections
| This led TO a brief personal colloquy between
Cannon, Mcmillan and Enloe. After further
debate Enloe demanded the previous question
upon his resolution, which was so m0dlfied as
| to be the expression on the part OF the House
that it 'disapproves and condemns Kennedy S
speech, and a direction to the Public Printer TO
expunge it from the permanent Congressional
| Record.
The House refused-yeas So, nays ll4-to order
| the previous question.
Bayne OF Pennsylvania again offered reso-
| luton referring the whole matter to the Judi
ciary Commit ee. The clause requiring the
committee to report within three days was
stricken out and the resolution adopted-yeas
| 124, nays S.
| Boutelle of Maine, from the Committee on
| Naval Affairs, reported a resolution calling on
! the Secretary of the Navy for information as TO
whether the Bethlehem Iron Company is using
for the manufacture of steel gun forging for the
| United States navy ores imported from Cuba or
any other foreign country also, whether ores
| suitable for such manufacture cannot De pro-
! cured in the United states. Adopted.

| abandoned military reservation in Nevada to
