IN FAVOR OF ARBITRATION.
THE SENATE ADOPTS SENATOR D1S-
 IELS' RESOLUTION.

It Endorses the Action of the President Ir
 Enforcing the Laws of tho Country and
 Maintaining tho Supremacy of tho Con.
 stitution.
 Washington, July LA question ot precedence in business wns raised be. tween Mir. Blackburn (Dem., Ky.,), who wished to proceed with un appropria. ton bill, and Mir. Daniels (Dem., Vn. ), who wished to have the resolution ot MT. Peaer (Pop., Kas., taken up with his own substitute offered for it yestor. day, which sustains the action of the president and his administration. Final. ly Mir. Blackburn yielded and Mir. Daniels took the floor.
 After the resolution and the substi- ute had been read, Mir. Daniels said that on consultation with several sen ators, both democratic and republican, he would offer an additional clause to his substitute. This additional clause was that, while the senate explicitly de- clares its determination to endorse the executive in the enforcement of the laws and in maintaining the supremacy of the constitution, it deems 1t proper ulso to declare it's adhesion to the prin- ciple of arbitration of difficulties and controversies between the employer of labor and the employees as recognized in the laws of the United States and to ex- press its condemnation of the refusal of party to such controversy connected with the late disturbances in Chicago and vicinity to submit such difficulty and controversy to fair and impartial arbitration, and it's determination also to use, in the promotion of such arbi- tration, whatever constitutional DOW CTS it may possess.
 In the discussion which preceded the withdrawal of MT. Daniels proposed amendment, MT. Dolpb, rep., Oregon, intimated that the senator from Vir- ginia had become afraid of his repu- tation" and now proposed to throw q sop to those who were engaged in defy ing the laws, committing murder and destroying property. Part of the amendment proposed was, he said, "a covert condemnation of the Pullman company for refusing to arbitrate." He repeated that it was "sop to concil- fate clements that are seeking to over- throw the government" and he asked MT. Daniel to withdraw it.
 MT. Hawley, rep, of Connecticut, also opposed the arbitration clause of the resolution, saying it was matter quite outside of and foreign to the field which the senate had undertaken to occupy. s-.. ..
 MT. Daniel explained that the reason why he introduced the subject was be- cause of the statute on the subject: be- cause of the presidents message to congress in 1886 recommended legisla- tion on the subject anl because of the general policy of the nation to facili- tate the peaceful settlement of all questions, but perceiving, he said, that it would involve criticism he would de- fer the consideration of the question to a more convenient season.
 MT. George. dem., of Mississippi, asked that the presidents message to congress in 1886 on the subject of arbitration be printed in the record in connection with the debate and it was so or dered.
 MT. Gallinger, rep, of New Hamp- shire, offered an amendment declaring that the senate approves the principle of voluntary arbitration as a means of kn% and employees.
 MT. Platt. rep, of Connecticut, said the supreme question was whether the president whom we elected to be our chief magistrate was the chief execu- tive, or whether he was a man who called himself Debs Any other ques- tion injected into this discussion was entirely out of place. He objected to except the straight. square, manly endorsement of what President Cleveland had done and would vote against all else.
 MT. sherman, rep, of Ohio, said that while he would vote for the arbitration he was opposed to it as an to a resolution which ought to be adopted by itself, simple and alone.
 The vote taken on MT. Gallinger's and it was rejected. Then MT. Daniels resolution was adopted The bill was passed.
 The pension bill was taken up. The bill appropriates for army and navy pensions $15O.0OO,OO0 The only impor- tant amendments to the bill as it passed the house were the insertion of these clauses:
 Provides that so much of the act ap- proved December 21 1893, as provides that "any pension heretofore or that may hereafter be granted to any ap- plicant shall be deemed and held by all officers of the United States to be a vested right in the grantee to the ex- tent that payment thereof shall not be or suspended until after due notice to the grantee of not less than than thirty days. Provided, also, that the examining surgeons. after com 1leting the examination of the claimant shall. on application of the claimant, furnish to said claimant a copy of tho 'eport submitted to the pension Iofflce.
 MT. Gallinger offered an amendment o prohibit the commissioner of pen ,ions from annuling or reducing pen ,ions on difference of opinion between himself and a previous commissioner.
 The amendment was rejected and the pill passed. .'..
