The contest over the location of the

AN ANGLo-MANIAo SENATOR.
Mr.. Sewell, Republican, of New Jersey,
introduced resolution on the Monroe
doctrine in the senate to-day. The reso-

intended, and that his Interpretation of it

and virtually extend a protectorate over

CUBAN QUESTION IN THE SENATE.

that he would soon move to discharge

upon the nomination which is being
fought by the A. T. A.
SESSION OF THE HOUSE TO-DAY.
In the house to-day, Mr.. Grow, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, declared that the
New York chamber of commerce, in a
pamphlet widely circulated, criticised the
house for not paying the Canadian seal
been arbitrated and awarded the owners
Of seized vessels.
Mr.. Crisp, Democrat, of Georgia, made
the point that the pamphlet presented no
question privilege.
Mr.. Grow continued that, since refec-
tions upon members of the house were
questions of privilege, reflections upon
the whole house were more privileged.
The board of arbitration did not award
a dollar of damages, Mr.. Grow declared.
The speaker ruled that no question of
privilege was presented, whereupon Mr..
Grow took his seat, saying: "Well, l am
satisfied"
The bill was passed authorizing the
lease of lands in Arizona for educational
purposes.
The house resumed the consideration
of the pension bill.
An order was adopted that the general
debate should be closed to-day and the
bill taken up by paragraphs tomorrow
under the five minute rule.
WOULDN'T SEE MORGAN.
The only criticism 30 far heard from of
Mr.. Morgan's public statement is that his
assertion that he twas invited to Wash.
irgton for a conference" is misleading,
as the natural inference is that this invl-
tation came from the president, or, by
his sanction, from some member of the
cabinet. This, it is said, is not the fact.
When Mr.. Morgan came to Washington
the president declined to see him, nor did
he confer with any member of the cabinet
at the presidents suggestion Oh the bond
question.
ARIzoNA's ADMISSION.
The Arizona territory admission bill
was before the house committee on terri
tories Yesterday. Delegate Murphy pre-
sented in detail reasons why he thought
the territory should be admitted to state
hood. The bill will be further considered
on Saturday.
SILVER HOLDS THE STRING.
The senate finance committee had a
brief meeting yesterday, with Senator
Jones, of Nevada, absent, for the con-
sideration of the revenue tariff.
A vote was taken and developed tie
on the bill. Senator Jones was not
paired and it became necessary to have

depending upon his vote.
WISE RESOLVE.
The house committee on military at
fairs has unanimo ously reported favorably
the bill which recently passed the senate
repeating the law that prohibits ex-con-
fedsrates who heli commissions in the
United States army and navy at the be-
ginning of the rebellion from being ap-
pointed to any position in the army or
navy.
