CONGRESSIONAL.
IN THE SENATE.


WASHINGTON, July 1s.h.-In the Senate, this
morning, after unimportant business, considera-
ton of the sundry civil appropriation bill was
resumed, the pending question being on the
amendment repeating the irrigation provision
in like bill October 1sSS. excepting that reser-
voir and canal sites heretofore located or Sc
lected shall remain segregated and reserved
from entry or settlement.
Regan continued his argument, begun yester-
day, against the amendment and in favor of the
irrigation scheme initiated by the Act of 1883.
He warmly defended Major Powell, and said
that he could not be used by spectators in pub
lie lands; that war had been made uDOn him.
Stewart-"Does the Senator from Texas take
that motive to me?"
Reagan-"I have not said word about the
Senator from Nevada, nor have l had him on
my mind. l was referring to the general sui
ject. and to the fact that during the early part
OF this Congress representatives OF syndlcates
this law, and threatening to bring their power
to bear on members of Congress"
Stewart-"Will the Senator name some agent
of some syndicate"
from Nevada knows as many OF them as l do
have no disposition to engage in personalities
either with agents or claimants, or Senator'S"
stewart-"No representative OF any syndicate
or of any person interested in land, has men
toned the subject to me this session. The only
thing that has Influenced me has been my own
observation, and the protests that have come
from the people against having public lands
Withdrawn from market"
Reagan These land-sha may have
thought me weaker, less pure, less devoted to
public interests than the Senator from Nevada
and may, therefore, have approached me when
they did not deem that they dared to approach
him. When we talk of public sentiment we
ought 10 have the sentiment of the cuitiyators
bine their influence, activity and wealth to
make members of Congress believe their own
feelings are those of the people
After further discussion by Allen, Plumb
EOckrel Teller and Ia ,art
was agreed to. The item of 1000 for irriga-
ton survey. $4,000 for engraving maps and
$500 for office rent in Washington were stricken
out and the bill laid aside, Allison giving no.
tice that he would ask the Senate to remain in
session tomorrow until it was completed.
conference was ordered on the land forfeit
ure bill, and the Senate adjourned.
IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, July 1Sth.-In the House this
morning the Committee on Rules reported
resolution providing that the House shall i'm
mediately proceed to the consideration OF the
original package bill, the previous question to
be considered.
1t was ordered that on Monday, after the
reading of the journal. the House shall con-
slder the bankruptcy bill, the previous ques-
ton 10 be considered ordered Wednesday, after
the reading of the journal.
Breckenridge OF Kentucky raised the Ques-
ton of consideration. The House decided-yeas
115, nays 55-to consider the resolution. One
hundred and twenty-four members were an
nounced as paired.
The resolution was modified so as to provide
that the appropriation bills shall not interfere
with the consideration OF the two bills adopted.
The original package bill was then taken up.
Taylor of Ohio said that never had such
blow been given States rights as by the ascer.
tainment that under the Constitution citizens
OF foreign State might take into another State
any property that was subject to commerce, and
there sell 1t without liability of the burden of
taxation. While he preferred the House sub
stitute, he feared its adoption would endanger
the legislation, consequently he advocated the
Senate bill.
Culbertson of Texas said if Iowa could pro-
hiblt the impor alton of intoxicating liquors it
could exclude tobacco, and il could go further
than guaranteeing the health and morals of its
citizens. 1t could protect its own products
against those of other States. 1t would be bet
ter to amend the Constitution than mangle it
by these makeshifts.
After lengthy debate, the House took re-
cess, the evening session to be for the considera
ton of private pension bills.
Nothing was done at the evening session. En-
loe raising point of no quorum.
