Washington Feb 6.--The House al II 10 o'clock to-
day took up the consideration Of the resolution Of
the Foreign Affairs Committee censurng Minister
Stevens; and Mr. Cultivate dem. Ohio addressed
the House. AS a preface to his remarks ne said he

No PRECEDENT FOR BLOUNT"s APPOINTMENT.
Mr. Storer (Rep Ohlo) made a strong argument

what had occurred in Washington after March T.

no precejent which gave Mr.. Cleveland the right 20
