 Washington Dec 1S,-The war talk at the capitol has not subsided, but it is observed that the most vigorous eX- pessions emanate from republican con- Sressmon. For instance, Representa- tive Grout of Vermont, one of the vet eran republicans, says it is evident from the tone of the British press that nothing short of brush with the United States will satisfy the great ma jority of the British people. He says further that England has proceeded for q number of years past upon the theory that the United States could not afford to engage in 8 conflict with her, and, acting upon that idsa, she has persist ently imposed upon our good nature. The time has now arrived, according to MT. Grcut, for the United States to assert its independence and sustain the Amert- can principle laid down in the Monroe doctrine. He says England needs another thrashing by the United States to make her understand that this coun- try is weary of British impertinence and continued invasion on this hemisphere.
 Before the house m5t there was a conference of republican leaders in Speaker Reeds room at the capitol As soon as the house convened, Hit, rep, introduced a resolution to appropriate $100000 to provide the means for de- fraying the expenses of the commission recomma nded by the president in his message of yesterday.
 As soon as the resolution was read at the clerks desk, Boutelle of Maine, ob- jected to the nasty consideration of such an important measure, and proceeded to dilate upon his desire to uphold the honor and dignity of this country and urged prudence and caution in dealing with such a grave question. lie sug- gested that the resolution go to an ap- prCpriate committee, so that it may re- ceive calm deliberation. He concluded his remarks by saying that he did not object to the consideration of the reso- lution, so that it came up for immediate consideration.
 Representative Hit, the mover of the resolution, said he hoped there would be no question on this side of the house or the other side of the house in deal ing with such a mOmentous question as that contained in the message which the president sent to congress yesterday. He said the success of our country de- pended upon a united front being pre- sented by all of our people in this in stance He said the gravity of the sit uation is such as to permit no hesita- ton or delay in giving the president patriotic and substantial support in this instance, and he appealed to ev5ry mem Der present to give their cordial and enthusiastic consent to the immediate adoption of the resolution. He was about to demand the previous question when ex-Speaker Crisp, representing the democrats, asked permission to sub init a few observations in support of the resolution. Hit attempted to cut the Georgian off but the latter insisted that ne ought to nave d pIl6l HedIluS in view of the fact that the gentleman from Illinois had offered the same res olution proposed by him On yesterday, but which was not permitted to be even read. The resolution was unanimously adopted amid great applause.
 At 12:40 the house adjourned until Fri day next, after passing resolution providing for the holiday recess from Friday, December 20, to January 3.
