week Dir. Hooker paid a high trib
Ute to American diplomacy as con
Quoted under the present admins
stratiOn. He said that it was diplo
Snacy which had settled our CHILEAN
difficulties and the Bering Sea con
troversy, md that fortunately fol
2She country it had in the position Of
Secretary Of State man of such
large and diplomatic ability that he
had settled these questions by dipl0.
~saaey. Cali had been compelled to
salute the flag she had insulted and
10 make reparation. Salisbury had
been compelled to renew the mo-
dus vivendi, and that in accomplish
4ing these results the Secretary of
State had been ably assisted by the
ministers TO Chilli and Great Brit
aajR. He said that Mr.. Blaine had
shown himself to be great states
~man by the manner in which he
haad treated these questions.
1t is regarded as almost certain
that the conference committee
(Which is now considering the Sem
ate substitute for the House Chinese
exclusion bill, which extends the
f9resent law for ten years, will re-
port in favor Of the substitute, and
fit is expected that the House will
agree to il.
Again this week the Republicans
-7oi the House, under the able leader
ship of eX-Speaker Reed demon
sstrated that it is easy under the
present rules to tie up the House,
unless the Democrats keep a quo
rum of their own members con-
stanty on the floor, which they have
found impossible to do notwith
standing the large number of DEM
ocrats in the House.
Senator Hale, who is a member
OF the committee on Appropriations
which has reported large additions
TO the Naval appropriation bill,
thinks the Senate will endorse the
increase in the appropriations for
new ships and that it will also in
ssist upon the House agreeing to
ats amendments knowing that such
action will be justified by the pub
lie sentiment of the country. He
said on the subject: "There is uni
<Nersal sentiment throughout the
country in favor Of further addi-
fions to the navy, and the recent d.
yplomatic experiences we have had
with foreign nations ought to teach
as the necessity of being prepared
dor trouble
At may now be set down as GER
Tain that no further effort will be
made in Congress to have the re-
Jmains of Gen. Grant brought from
New York to Washington. The
abandonment Of the idea was caus-
cd by the opposition of Mrs. Grant
z a the removal, and by the increas-
ag belief that New York will raise
aae' money to erect the monument,
ttae corner stone of which was laid
Ism Wednesday of this week. Sena-
cof Man0erao-, who, since the death
Of Senator Plumb, has been in
. charge Of the Plumb resolution pro-
,yiding for the removal, says that it
viii never be called up.
Speaking Of The Grant monument
senator Sanders, of Montana, offer
sd a joint resolution this week au-
borizing the President, whenever
he Grant Monument Association

subscriptions TO the amount of 81
10000 for the erection of the monu-
ment, to subscribe in behalf of the
aeopIe of the United States $3.50 900,
? and asked for its immediate consid
erahion, but objection was made by
Senator Berry, of Arkansas, and the
resolution was referred to the Libra:
y committee.
Decent Democrats are unanimous
an oondemning the action of Repre-
sentative Eul0e who having made
such a miserable failure in his at
tempt to biaeken The good name of
sen. Raum in the so.called Pension
Guvestigation, lost his head entirely
2nd SO far forgot the manners of a
q gentleman as to apply the words
'y0d are liar' to Gen. Raum, and
e attempt to make a personal at
lach on mat gentleman.
