Mr.. Hill Dem, n. Y.) did not under
stand that the State of New York de-
sired any appropriation from the general
Government for the purpose OF entertain
ing foreigners, who might visit the port
OF New York In the coming summer The
New York chamber OF commerce was
responsible FOR the suggestion; the State
OF New York was rot responsible for IL.
Il short time ago. however, a suggestion
from the same chamber OF commerce had
met far different reception than this
one dld-he meant the petition to trans
Ter the entire control of quarantine TO
the general Government. The chamber
OF commerce of New York embraced
only very limited number Of gentlemen.
They might imagine that they controlled
the whole State; but they did not. The
state Of New York did not ask for any
such appropriation.
After further discussing the appropria-
ton OF 100000 was agreed to with the
words "or so much thereof as may be
necessary" added to it.
The next point which provoked discus
sion was the provision contained IN the
same paragraph limiting the number of
enlisted men in the navy to 1000. A mo-
tion to strike out the Limitation provision
was rejected-yeas, .; nays 26.
The whole amendment was then agreed
TO- az also the next Amendment, appropri-
atlnB $500 for army expenses incident to
the naval review.
The amendment for the construction of
four iight-draft projected gun-boats dn-
stead of one provided i'm the bin was
agreed 20 without question.

propriatOn for the dry dock at Puget
sound from goo, 900 to $500. 900. Agreed TO.
The bill was then passed.
Mr.. Sherman Rep.) moved 10 go into
executive session. He said that he could
not give the reason why II was impor-
tant TO have an executive session. but
would be brief. The yeas and nays were
demanded on the Democratic side. and
the motion was disagreed to-yeas, u;
nays, Pa strictly party vote.
The result seemed 20 surprise the Re-
publican Senators. several OF whom went
to the clerks desk to examine the roll
where they found that their side had been
defeated simply because some Senators
had not voted and were not paired one
OF them showed his annoyance by re-
marking a. the clerks desk that I'VE may
as well turn the Senate over to the Demo
