MIR. HILL ON ANARCHISTS

WASHINGTON, Aug 6.-The bill intro- duced by MT. Davis, republican, of Min nesota, last Friday. defining options and futures and placing special taxes thereon, was, at his request, read a second time and laid on the table. tJB
 MT. Mills offered resolution declaring that in the revision of national taxation these three principles should be observed; That all taxes are burdens and can only be rightiully imposed to raise revenue forthe support of the government; that when taxes are imposed on imported goods the rate should be so low as not materially to restrict the importation of the articles, and that in selecting the articles toebe taxed only those ready for consumptionskhoul be chosen, and that all others imported for manufacture or communicating should be exempt from duty. The resolution was, at MT. Mills request, laid on the table temporarily, Mr. Mills saying that he would call 1t up in a few days and make some remarks upon it.
 A conference was ordered on the de- fcency appropriation bill.
 MT. Chandler's resolution for an inquiry into the facts connected with tue organiza- tion and history of the ion Coal com pany of Nova Scotia was taken up, and MT. Mills offered an amendment to it instruct ing the special con mttee to inquire also. whether or not any officer of the govern ment or any member of congress was inter- ested in any corporation or company en- gagged in mining coal in any of the states or territories of the United States, or in any railroad company engaged in transporting coal that would come into competition with Nova Scotia or Dominion coal in any mar kets of the United States, and whether in huences have been used to maintain tariff tax on coal for their benefit; also as to whether the removal of the duty on coal would reduce it's price to the consumers of coal in any part of the United States. and if so, what parts of the United States would be so benefited.
 The amendment of Mir. Mills was ap- pended to MT. Chandler's resolution and was taken as substitute for it. A sugges- tion was made as to having tho inquiry made by new select committee of live, in- stead of by the Gray select committee, and after an interchange of some remarks be- tween Messrs. Chandler and Mills the reso- lution was modified, and in that sense the resolution and substitute were discussed until the close of the morning hour and then went over without action.
 The house bill providing for the inspec- tion of immigrants by United State consuls was taken up with the substitute reported by Mir. Hill from the committee on lmmi- grafton for the exclusion and deportation of anarchists. MT. Hill addressed the sem
  visions a4blying to anarchists were new; there waSn authority under the existing laws of tfe United States to proven the landing q anarchists. The laws of the United s les in relation to immigration seemed be remarkably well framed, and would do much if honestly and vigorously carried out towards preventing undesirable immigration. If anarchists were not excluded the United States would soon become,the dump l l. xt1t- hence the necessity for the proposed legs- lation at this time.- It was not proposed in the bill, he said, to make the belief in an- archy crime, and, therefore, it was not necessary to define what snarchism was. No provision was made for indictment or punishment, but provision was made that person known as an anarchist should not land in this country, and if he did land, then certain proceedings were to be taken by or through the secretary of the treasury and that person should be deported. MT. Hill referred to a we'll l-known English an- archist (Mowbray) who has recently ar rived, and who has been actually attempt ing to deliver lectures n favor of anarchistic doctrines in the city of New York and Brooklyn. There was now no way, he Said, of deporting that man, although he has teen prevented by the police from de- livering hls lee lures. The passage of the bill was, in his judgment, tho proper thing to do, and it was better under all the cir- cumstances to take the bill as the secretary of the treasury had presented it. Several amendments were offered and some were agreed to. Finally the amended substitute was agreed to. The bill passed and a con- ference was asked. The oonferees were Messrs. Hill, Faulkner and Chandler.
 After short executive session the senate at 5:45 o'clock adjourned until tomorrow.
 IN THE HOUSE. et
 Senate amendments to the house bill re- arranging the judicial districts of North Carolina were concurred in. h The house non-concurred in the senate amendments 10 the general deficiency appropriation bill and asked for conference on the Savers and Cannon were appointed man. agers on the part of the house.
 Mir. Catchings offered a resolution ask ing the senate to return the conference re- port on the river and harbor appropriation bill, to which the house had agreed on Fri day. He explained that in some way either in the room of the enrolling clerk or by himself sheet of the report had been lost en route from the conference room to the senate, so that the report which ap- peared in the Record was not the report that has been agreed upon. He detailed the several steps by which the report has been prepared and presented, from which, he said, the house could judge where the fault lay: For himself, MT. Catch whatever that the sheet was lost in the clerks office, where it had been examined d by numerous persons inter- ested in it's contents. He charged nothing more than carelessness in the disappear ance; no one could have had any object h causing it's loss.
 Members of the house listened attentivey to the statement, and Mr. Catchings was irterrogated by several members as to whether he proposed any action in the premises. MT. Ca,chings replied that be did not.
 MT. Reed suggested that something should be done in order to monstrate
