rine to the naval establishment.
Mr.. Sherman's resolution. offered yester-
day, to proceed to-day latter the morning
business to the consideration of bills on the
calendar, under rule S, was taken up and
agreed to.
At half past twelve the Senate chamber
was so darkened by passing rain storm
that there had to be temporary suspen.
sion of business until the gas was lighted
over the glass panels in the ceiling.
Then the Senate proceeded to the consid
GRAFTON of bills or the calendar, under rules
The following bills among others we're
passed: House. bill for the relief OF the suf-
fersrs by the wreck of the U. s. steamers
Trenton and Vandalia and the strsnding of
the U. s. steamer Nipsic, at Apia. Samoan
islands.
A bill to increase the endowment of the
Louisiana State University aud Agricultural
| College gave rise to considerable debate.
Mr.. Iogalls inquired whether in THE
school there was any distinction made be-
tween coIored and white children.
Mr.. Glb5on-"There IT,"
Mr.. Ingals-"Am l to understand that
! in this school none but white pupils are ad-
mitted ?"
Mr. Gibson-"Yee."
Mr.. Ingalla-'I cannot recognise that
doctrine"
Mr.. Gibson-"But We have another school
similar to this, which is supported by the
State, and in which colored pupils alone are
taught and that school ia in a very flour
ishing condition"
Mr.. Plumb said that he had supported the
bill in the Cons ittee on Public Lands. and
he gave it now his unqualified assent. Az
to the exclusion of colored pupils from this
school, he reminded the Senate that ma
! jority of Senators had voted several times
for bill appropriatng 10000, 900 that re-
cogniz I'd the sams distinction. He had
voted against that bill, but not on that
ground. He took 1t that in no State (cer-
tanly not in Ksnsas) was the commingling
of white and black pupils made condition
precedent for an appropriation of money.

MAN system of government was to be over
thrown and the Hamiltonisn System inau
gurated. No one could go farther than be
In admiration of Hamilton but he could
not forget that Hamilton's system had been
un1ualifedly rejected by the fathers of the
republic. He MIR. Barnes) objected to the
removal of the distractions which had, for
hundred years, stood as barrier against
the public treasury, against the advocates
OF subsidies, against those men who would
build up the money power. Now the school
OF Jefferson was to be relsgated to the rear
and the new school of policy was to be ush
cred into existence.
Mr. Kelley, of Kansas, defended the
Speakers course and alluded to the Speak
er's reference to the ruling of Gov. Hill
when presiding over the New York Senate.
The Speaker was modest man; but II 10
the course OF human events 1t came to be

Thomas B. Reed at the head OF LTD Presi.

party In lts wisdom put at the head OF its
ticket the name of David B. Hill. the dem
ocrats would 60 before the country and |
claim for David B. Hill the credit for the
advance which had done 80 much good for |
liberty.
Mr.. Pendleton, of West Virginia, said he !
was surprised to see in a western paper
which circulated largely In his district
where he had three hundred or four hundred
warm republican friends) statement that
when he was unseated, the democrats would
lose valuable man, as he had been foremost
in hurting violent epithets at the Speaker.
This statement he denied, though he did |
most radically disagree with the Speakers
construction of parliamentary law.
Mr.. Kelley, of Kansas, suggested that this
was proper time to apologize.
Mr.. Pendleton responded that he was not
apologizing, as he had nothing to apologize
for. He was merely denying false state
ment. He wished his republican friends
(who had voted for him at the last election
and would vote for him at the next II he
we're unseated now to know that when they
voted for him they did not vote for any
person who was not gentleman. APP
