HOUSE.

The first day of the third month Of the pres
ent Congress still finds the House without any
rules for its guidance, but it SEEMS probable
that before another week passes the machin-
cry Of legislation will be in perfect working or
der.
TO CORRECT THE RECORD.
Mr.. Hoar Mass. }, rising to a correction of
the Record, said that under the rules under
which the House was acting no member was
permitted to enlarge his remarks in the Record
unless he received special leave to do so.
In speech delivered some days ago his COL
| league. Mr.. Morse. had brought us the old fish
peddling story. He (Mr. Hoar) had requested
that the gentleman be allowed to proceed, as
his speech was beneficial to the democratic
party OF Massachusetts. In the record reply
| appeared from Mr.. Morse which had never been
uttered.
He held in his hand the official stenographer's
report Of Mr.. Morse's speech and the type
written speech which Mr.. Morse had subse-
amendation Mr.. Morse had added in his own
handwriting Laughter OH the republican
side" Laughter The gentleman's imaSi-
nation was perfectly correct. The only applause
that the repub lican party would give to his re-
marks WAS to those which were never delivered
He Orr Hoar) knew the republican party well
| enough and the gentleman well enough to
know that remarks he never delivered were
sure to obtain republican applause.
MR.. MORSE ALLEGES FALsEHooD.
Mr.. Morse replied that the statement made
by the gentleman was largely and substantially
false. The words the gentleman quoted as to
fish peddlng had been delivered by him (9Ir.
Morse). He had availed himself of the priv
ilege granted to every member to revise his
remarks. His young friend would be wiser
when he grew older.
lie was reported to have shed tears over the
Speakers election and to have wet his couch
with tears because his candidate for Speaker
was beaten. His fond hopes Of craftsmanship
and fame had been dashed to the ground. In
his congressional campaign the young gentleman
had declared that the democratic par ~ stood for
honest money. He would be wiser when he
older. He belonged to the kindergarten
class at present. tLaughter.] BY the time this
Congress adjourned he would understand the
attitude Of the democratic party in regard to the
free coinage of silver. He (Mr Morse) repeated
his statement that the declaration made by
his colleague was substantially untrue, and the
stenographer would bear him out in saying that
what he has put in was incident to the inter-
ruption made by the gentleman himself.
The matter was then dropped.
RESOLUTION FOR EGANs RECALL.
The states were then called for the introduc-
ton of bills and resolutions for reference. The
following were REFEREED
BY Mr. Arnold (Mo):
Whereas, the present minister Of the United
States to Chile, Mr.. Patrick Egan by his gem
eral course of action toward that government
and more especially by his action in giving
asylum to Chileans in the late strife between the
congressional and Bamacedist parties has rem
dered himself obnoxious to that government and
alienated in a marked degree the former friend
ship that the people had for this government:
and whereas by reason of the existing facts,
the unfortunate and unjustifiable attack by q
Chilean mob upon body of American seamen
in the streets of Valparaiso. occurred; and
Whereas, by reason of such unfortunate and
unjustihable attack upon American seamen
grave apprehension for time existed in the
public mind that this nation of sixty-two mil
lions OF people was on the eve of war with
! about 2. 500 ,O9c Chileans unless ample apology
and PREPARATION were made by the latter
power. which said grave apprehensons existing
in the public mind arose from the fact that the

gress, the country, SO quickly as the Presidents

Whereas. the said apology has arrived and

country that all fears of impending war are at

republics Of the western hemisphere may be
