PETERS Investigation Of Bond Issue Not Yet
Ordered-West Point Bill Passed.

Washington, Feb. 1S.--The Senate dis
cussed PETERS resolution for a select com
mittee to inquire into the circumstances
Of the recent bond issue, but it went to
the calendar, without action, at O'Clock,
and the Senate took up the unfinished
business, being the military academy APP
preparation bill. The pending question
was tho amendment offered by Villas, to
increase by 80 the number of West Point
cadets.
Sewall offered an amendment providing
that the President may appoint to vacan-
cies in the grade of second leutenants,
meritorious non commissioned officers OF
the army, when recommended according
to the provisions of the act of 1878, al
though graduates Of the military academy
may remain unassigned.
The discussion was interrupted to re-
ceive the urgent deficiency bill from the
House and its request for conference. The
Senate insisted upon the amendments, and
a request for conference was granted, Hale,
Allison and Cockrell being appointed the
conferces.
Discussion on the pending bill was re-
sumed. Hoar moved TO amend the plan
of Villas. by providing that two cadets at
large should be appointed upon recon-
mendation of the Governor Of a state in
stead of the senators. 1t was voted down.
Elkins amendment directing the ap-
pointmcnt of cadets at large upon the
recommendation OF the Senators, was de-
feated. By vote of "a yeas to - nays
