SATURDAY, AUG. IS.

In the Senate, by vote of q yeas to 16 nays
there Was adopted a resolution, offered by Mr.
Murphy IN. " as follows:
ResoIred That in the opinion of the Senate the
enactment OF further Legislation on contested mat
tiers is i'm practicable, aud that Congress should adj
journ at the earliest possible date.
Mr.. Murphy's original resolution, which
named Secretary Carlisle as the authority for
the inexpediency of further tariff legislation,
was mod fed so as to omit all reference to that
official and in this shape received the unanimous
Endorsement of the Republicans and Popuists,
well as Of Senators Blanchard, Gallery. Glib
son, German. Murphy, Pugh. Roach and Smith
on the Democratic side.
When Mr.. Gray's motion to instruct the
Finance Committee TO report back the free
sugar bill with an amendment providing for a
fiat duty on all sugars aud striking out the
differential duty in favor of the refined was
laid before the Senate yesterday Mr.. Henderson
brought forward his bounty proposition. He
moved a substitute instructing the committee
to report the Mckinley bounty law in connec-
ton with free sugar. After a long and un-
interesting parliamentary struggle the vote was
taken. Mr.. Manderson's amendment received
81 affirmative aud 20 negative votes; but Al
votes is not quorum of the Senate, and the
resolution was laid aside
Beyond these two votes. the proceedings in
cluded the adoption OF resolution placing Mr..
White (Cal.l on the Finance Committee thus
filling the vacancy occasioncd some months
since by the death of Mr.. Vance.
The House bill repeating laws authorizing
rebate on alcohol used in the arts was laid before
the Senate and read second time. On motion
to refer it to the Finance Committee the vote
was yeas II, nays %, no quorum, aud the
matter went over.

Monuments to Commands that Fought al
Vicksburg, Miss.
At the May meeting of the Ex-Soldiers and
Sailors Association Of Franklin County, Ohio,
at Columbus, committee was appointed con.
sisting of II. Warren Phelps, 95th Ohio, of
Westerville; Valentine Haas 60th Ohio and
c. NJ Riggs, LIST Ohio Cav, of Columbus. to con-
slider the advisability of taking steps to have
monuments erected to the memory of men who
fell during the siege of Vicksburg while fight
ing for the Union.
The NATIONAL TRIBUNE being read by so
many ex-sodieTs aud sailors it seems TO be the
proper medium through which to reach men
who would be interested in this enterprise.
Several years ago there was organized at
Indianapolis the Vicksburg Veteran Associa-
ton. This committee would now like very
much TO hear suggestions on this subject from
any and all comrades who fought at Vicks-
burg" And it would like especially to hear
from some one who was a member of the
Vicksburg Veteran Association.
Arrangements might be made to hold meet
ing by those who are Interested while at Pitts
burg, during the time of the National En-
campment, Sept. 10 TO IA. 1t would be well,
perhaps, TO hold Reunion there of the sur.
vlyors of the Vicksbnrg campaign.
The backgrounds might possibly be pur-
chased, and National park established there
which would be of great interest to the people
of the North and South.

FRIDAY, AUG. IL.

In the Senate Mr.. Harris, on behalf of the
Democratic Steering Committee, moved that
the Senator from California (Mr. White) be
appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Vance, of North Carolina
Mr. Chandler jumped to his feet and inter
posed an objection. The objection, if sustained,
would carry the motion over until tomorrow.
Mr.. Harris made the point of order that his
motion was privileged, because it looked to the
organization Of the Senate A long and lively
debate followed on the point of order.
Mr.. Harris insisted that as the motion looked
to the organization of the Senate 1t was not
subject to the ordinary rules. BE that as ii
may" he declared, holly, " / want TO say that
it is with profound establishment that l heard
an objection from the other SIDE During the
Is years | have been a member of this body,
no matter what party was in power, the ma
iority has named at will the members of the
several committees of the Senate, aud no voice
was ever heard in objection"
Senator Hill made long argument against
that point in which he included another brief
income tax speech.
Democratic conventions" continued Mr..
Hill, "all over the country are adopting resO-
buttons in favor of free sugar, and upon the
heels of the almost unanimous vote of the Demo
Gratis of the House comes the letter of the
Secretary, saying that to place sugar on the
free list would be suicidal. If ii was necessary
to have tie duty on sugar retained, there ought
to have been consultation before an attempt
was made to place it on the free list. In the
spirit of harmony he would suggest confer
ence, and that this matter be allowed to go
over so that a Democratic conference might
be held to determine what was best to do.
He closed by suggesting that the appoint
ment of Senator White to the vacancy ought to
have been made in the usual way by a Demo
cratic caucus, and not by the Steering Com
, mittee This suggestion, however, as well as
one that party conference be held, received
no reply.
Senator Harris seeing the futility of push
ing the matter further submitted his motion
in writing in the form OF resolution, to go
over until to-day, and later Senator Murphy
presented a resolution declaring that in view
of the statments made in the letter of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, recently submitted, all
legislation in the form of bills should be ndef-
nitely postponed. These two resolutions will
probably both be acted on formally to-day, as
stated above.

Abstract of the More Important
Proceedings of Both Houses.
Tuesday. AUG, Ia,

In the Senate, a messenger from the House
Of Representatives was announced and in
formed the Senate that the House had passed
the "popgun" bills placing coal, iron ore,
barbed wire, and sugar on the free list, in
which il asks the concurrence of the Senate.
Without comment these bills were received
and laid on the Vice-P Presidents table.
The following bills were passed: Senate bill
70 promote Commodore Sartori. retired, to be
Rear-A Admiral on the Retired List, and House
bill authorizing Soldiers Home managers to
extend outdoor relief to veterans.
A resolution was introduced by Mr.. Hale for
the printing of 5000 copies of House bill 4e64,
known as the Sugar Trust Tariff Bill" for
the use of Senators, and asked for its present
consideration. The resolution went over.
The Vice-Presdent having laid before the
Senate the first of the House free list bills TO
place coal on the free list, Mr.. Henderson asked
10 have il read in full, and that being DONE he
objected TO its second reading.
Mr.. Vest showed his willingness to consider
this bill by asking whether it would be in or
der to move, notwithstanding objection, that
the Senate proceed to consider it.
The Vice president gave it as his opinion
that il would not be in order, but that objec-
ton having been made to its further consider
alton it would have to go over under the rules.
Mr.. Vest, without questioning the ruling of
the Chair, or knowing what the rule was ex-
pressed his desire to make his motion for i'm
mediate consideration.
The other three bills were also laid before
the Senate, and all went through the same for
mula of being read in full once and having
the second readings objected to by Mr.. Man.
derson.
Mr.. Hill then offered number of amend
ments to these bills. One, which was offered
to the free iron-ore bill, provides that all pro-
visions of existing law in existence at the pas
sage of this act providing for the taxation of
incomes are hereby repealed. This amendment
raised general laugh.
Mr.. George sought TO call up the House bill
to dispense with proofs of loyalty in land war
rant cases due survivors of the Mexican war,
but such opposition was manifested and the
difficulty of holding a quorum present was so
obvious that, at $50 o'clock, the Senate ad-
journed.

it as his opinion that the action of the SEN

only failed of action from the absence of a
quorum. should be regarded as an instruction

A little missionary church was being
built in western town, says the Home
Missionary. and Mr.. Plumb, one of the
active workers, or perhaps the mission
ary himself, had occasion to go into a
blacksmith shop to get some rods. The
blacksmith was Bohemian who could
not speak a word of English, and
another old Bohemian, Pete by name,
was called in as interpreter.
After Mr.. Plumb's business with the
blacksmith had been attended to, Pete
entered into conversation on his own
account.
.'W hat you call him, eh-goes boom

hand in the direction of the church.
