IN THE SENATE.
Quay Makes Personal Explanation
which Causes Excitement.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l5.-The senate met
at 10 o'clock, and, after routine business,
took up the river and harbor bill.
Senator Quay made personal explana,
tion as TO the remark attributed to him in
the report of the republican caucus last
night. He had been represented as saying
that he did not wish TO have the southern
members Of the house of representatives
slung at his heels urged on by the
speaker. He had made no such remark.
and had made no reflection on the distin-
guished presiding officer of the other
branch of congress.
Hoar expressed the hope that il would
not be understood that because Quay felt
called upon TO contradict such statement,
the other people were also called upon to
contradict the mendacious statements as
to them on familiar subject. The sena-
tor knew that the statements as TO him
self were mendacious.
Frye moved TO proceed TO the considera-
ton of the river and harbor bill.
Edmunds demanded the yeas and nays.
A vote was taken and the motion agreed
TO, yeas Sc, nays =, So the senate pro-
ceeded TO the consideration of the river
and harbor bill.
Hampton having asked Frye TO allow
him to have the bill taken up for action,
Frye excused himself for declining 10 do
so and said that he had asked the ilnan-
cial committee TO let him have two days
for the consideration of the river aud
harbor bill, to-day and tomorrow, and
that he should ask the senate to remain
in session tomorrow until the bill was
finished. He did not feel at liberty,
therefore, to yield any time for any other
business.
Among the amendments reported by
the committee on appropriations and
agreed To by the senate, were the follow
ing: Inserting n provision for the COM
mission 10 determine the best location for
deep water harbor on the Pacific coast.
Inserting a provision To re-examine the
harbor a, Port Oxford, Ore, for a harbor
refuge. Increasing the appropriations
for a canal at Cascades, Ore, from
100000 10 $4,000; for the mouth of
the Columbia river, Ore, from
A25.000 TO 100000; for the lower
Willamette and Columbia rivers in front
of and below Portland, Ore, from $4,000
to 10000; for the Cowltz river, Wash.
ington from $1,000 to 5000, and for the
Columbia river from tie head of Rock
Island rapids TO the foot of Priest rapids,
Washington from $4,000 10 $1,000, of
which $4,000 may be used for a survey

SPOKANE FALLS, Aug. Is. - Word
reached here to-day that there is great ex.
citement in the vicinity of Spangle, 30
miles south Of this city, over a report that
two bodies had been seen hanging
10 trees down in the canyon out
side of town. A party returned
yesterday without making any discovery
but later on found out they had not gone
down the canyon far enough. The
parties supposed 10 have been hanged are
John Bull aud partner Of his who have
been living in cabin near that city.
They have been missing since about
July 4, and the appearance of
their cabin denotes they had left in a
hurry. On the floor were lying several
empty cartridge shells, and the mems
clothing was lying scattered around the
floor. A boy has been seen who said that
the night before their disappearance they
had fired several shots at him. One Of
the missing men was under bonds for
