WASHINGTON, Aug. When the
House met Mr.. Oates (Ala-) called up
his resolution proposing an inyestiga-
tion of the published charge that mem
bers has been improperly influenced in
their votes on the silver bill. Mr.. Oates
resolution was discussed at sosc length,
the Republicans generally criticising
the proposition for an investiga-
tion OF mere newspaper charges, which
were too indefinite TO furnish founda-
tion of themselves for investigation.
After further discussion the Speaker
ruled that the proposition for an in
veStigation Of mere newspaper charges
OF general character could not be con-
sidere6 a privileged question, and while
it might properly come up at another
time for discussion IL could not claim
the right of way over the sundry civil
appropriation bill as question of high
est privilege. Mr.. Oates appealed from
the decision and the yeas and nays were
ordered on the same. The Speakers
decision was sustained and considera ton
OF the sundry civil appropriation bill
was resumed.
The entire afternoon was consumed in
a discussion OF the Senate irrigation
amendment Many amendments were
proposed to this amendment, tho ulti-
mate result being that the Senate
amendment was nOn-concurred in. The
committee then rose and reported the

tions Of respect were adopted 10 tie
memory OF the following deceased
members OF former General Assem- blies:
Emanuel Stover of the Thirty second

Twenty first. and Henry Decker Of the
Thirty-hfth. The special committee APP
pointed Tor the purpose reported resolu-
tiOns Of respect Id the memory Of Ex-
Speaker James II. Miller Of Stark.
Brief addresses On the character and pub
lie services OF the deceased were made by
several bers.
The worlds fair bill. together with
the House amendments, was read a
th ird time. and taken up for passage.
Pending the rollcall and the passage
of the bin as amended, various gentle
men asked aud obtained leave 10 ex-
plain their votes. The roli-call resulted
ia the passage OF the bill by vote of
l3f 10 IL. The bill was sent 10 the
Senate for the concurrence of that
body.
Votes OF thanks were extended TO the
Speaker, the Clerk and TO those who
had assisted in securing the worlds fair
for Chicago.
When the message from the Senate
reached the House announcing that the
former body had failed 10 concur in three
of the House amendments vote
was taken on the question: Shall
the House recedo as to the
fourth amendment?" The House re-
fused to recede by vote of 92 TO AZ and
conference committee of five was
ordered The House then refused by
a vote of 1lO to 10 TO recede from its
action on the submerged lands amend
ment. which is as follows:
And any land which may be filed under tho
provisions hereof shall accrue 10 the city OF
Chicago, 10 be forever maintained as public
park"
The opposition by the Senate to this
clause is based on the States claim of
title in such submerged lands. This
amendment was also referred to the con-
ference committee.
The House then refused TO recede on
tho following amendment:
Provided that nothing in this section shall
apply to any exhibitor al said Columbian Expo
Sition."
This applies to the eight-hour section
on which the House had already refused
to recede and the matter was referred to
the conference committee.
In the Senate the worlds fair bill was
received from the House and considered.
The Senate refused to concur in the
amendments as noted above, and on re-
ceiving message at 1 o'clock TO the
effect that the House would not recede
from those amendments. conference
committee was appointed and a recess
taken.
