AMOS CUMMINGS AMONG THE LATTER

Washington, May 21.-By vote of 1876
to AZ the house today passed over the
presidents veto the bill granting a PEN
sion of $50 month to Francis E. Hoover,
late of the Twenty-third Indiana volun-
teers. A debate of two hours preceded
the vote, Messrs. Kirkpatrick republi-
can, of Kansas; Wood, republican, of
Illinois, and Willis, republican, of Della
ware, advocating the passage of the bill,
and Messrs. Erdman, democrat, of Penn
sylvania; Loud republican, of California,
and Bartlett, democrat, of New York, in
favor of sustaining the veto. All the
populists and republicans generally voted
for the bill, and the democrats against
it. The following republicans, however,
voted to sustain the veto: Messrs. Loud
of California, Ranney of Missouri, Quigg
and Wadsworth of New York; and the
following democrats to pass the bill:
Messrs. Cochran of Texas, Cummings Of
New York, Layton and Sorg of Ohio and
Stokes Strait and Talbert of South Caro-
lima.
By the terms of the special order
agreed to yesterday the house went into
committee of the whole to consider the
Phillips bill, authorizing the appoint-
ment of a non-partisan committee OF
twenty-one members to collect informa-
tion and consider and recommend legis-
lation to meet the problems presented by
labor, agriculture and capital
The passage of the bill was advocated
by Messrs. Phillips, republican, of Penn
sylvania, and Low, republican, of New
York The time for its discussion was ex-
tended until 4 o'clock tomorrow.
resolution was agreed to directing
the printing of 10000 copies of the immi-
grafton bill passed yesterday.
At $40 the house adjourned until to-
morrow. -
The Senate.
In some respects the proceedings in the
senate today were suggestive of the clos
ing days of q session. Conference reports
were being considered and acted on dur
ing the most of the day. First came the
river and harbor bill; and after short
discussion the report was finally agreed
to, in order to have an item as to Bruns-
wick harbor, Georgia, restored to the bill.
Later In the day the report was again
presented, with the Brunswick matter ar
ranged satisfactorily, but with the items
as to the deep harbor in southern Call
fornia still undisposed of in conference.
The report was agreed to as far as 1t
went, and new conference was ordered
on the San Pedro and Santa Monica ques-
ton.
The conference report on the legisla-
tive bill was presented and was assailed
on account of provisions as to circuit
court clerks and as to the appointment OF
a register of copyrights. The report was
disagreed to-26 to- 33-and the bill was
again sent to conference.
A partial conference report on the In
dian appropriation bill was agreed to,
and a further conference ordered, and
subsequently q second report was pre-
sented and went over till tomorrow. The
conference on the sundry civil bill was
presented and agreed to.
The caledar of appropriation bills hav-
ing been thus cleared off Mr.. Butler, pop
ulst, of North Carolina, thought that the
opportune time had come for getting be-
fore the senate his bill prohibiting the
issue of government bonds without the
consent of congress-, and he made mo-
tion to proceed to its consideration
Immediately Senators Hill and Chand-
Ter commenced series of obstructive
measures, by which they were successful
in preventing q vote on Mr.. Buffers mo-
tion. The strength of It's support, how
ever was indicated by the vote on Mr..
Chambers motion to proceed to the con-
sderation of executive business which
was yeas 12 nays "a, and all subsequent
votes preserved that relation. During
the filibusterng proceeding Mr.. Hill and
Mr.. Allen, populist, of Nebraska, inter-
changed remarks not entirely consistent
with senatorial courtesy. The obstruct-
i've tactics prevailed to the extent of
forcing an adjournment without vote
on Mr.. Buffers motion to take up the
bill, which he is to renew tomorrow.
The senate at 6:25 adjourned until to-
morrow.
