Alusions by Senator Hill and Senator
White DemocraO, Of California, to the IN
consistency of Mr.. Sherman in having ,ns
Joint resolution reported yesterday anu
expressing the hope that the senate "ouiu
pass IT to-day. and then voting TO-DAY
against taking Il up, brought MIR. Sher-
man TO his feet. He said
sHERMAN'S POSITION.
1.-THE Senator from California seems 10
desire to drag me into the DEBATE, I"
though DO not care to enter upon II.
am in favor OF the pending joint resoiu,
ton, and l think It ought TO eoniihanu
the unanimous approval Of the Senate. L
believe that gross injustice, almost bar
barous Injustice, has been done to natu-
rallied citizen of the United States, VINO
has right to protection from the Presl-
dent. | am not in favor of pressing TINS
resolution al this moment as II STANDS IN
the way Of appropriation bills. i have so
voted, and will so vote again. trust tha'
after the debate has gone on awhile lhe
Senate will see clearly the necessity OF
taking up the appropriation bills ana pass
ing them. l do not think there is any IN
consistency i'm that / hope that Senators
who are opposed TO the resolution VIII
not stand in the way OF vote. 1t Is
great injustice TO say that we who are
in favor Of the resolution are opposed 10
the passage of the appropriation bills.
intend TO stand by the Committee on APP
propriatiohs from this day TO the end OF
the session; but that shall not prevent me
from doing what | think Is right IN De-
half Of the policy of the United states TO
protect its citizens against unlawful ana
insolent treatment. 1 trust the time VIII
never come when an American citizen can
be wronged or prosecuted 10y any Power,
great or small. That is the way 1 feel
now. / am in favor Of protecting this
American citizen, though he Is a natu-
rallied citizen. / am opposed to wrong
and violence and tyranny. wherever it -
exercised; and when it Is exercised
against an American citizen, | will stand
up for him. even if am alone"
The House bill to amend the act as TO
the appointment Of receivers of national
banks was taken from the calendar and
passed without amendment.
At 6 =. NJ. a recess was taken until
p. NJ.
EVENING SESSION.
The expected continuation of the Cuban
storm did not appear when the Senate met
after the short recess tonight BY con-
sent, the bills to allow the bottling OF
distilled spirits in bond, and to prevent
the importation Of impure and unwhole-
some tea were passed, and the considera-
ton of the Indian appropriation bill was
Their resumed.
Senator White, Of California, had the
floor on the Cuban question when the
Senate took it's recess at O'Clock, and
would have continued tonight had il not
been apparent to the friends of the San
gully resolution that If the debate on
that subject was Srenewed Mr. White
would talk until a quorum disappeared.
For this reason the regular business was
proceeded with. 1t is the understanding
that tomorrow morning. when there is
full attendance Of senator's. the resolution
will be again called up by its friends.
At 11IOP p. NJ. the Senate adjourned until
tomorrow, leaving the Indian bill still
unfinished.
The galleries were crowded at the open
ing Of the night session, but their occu-
pants were disappointed in their evident
expectation Of seeing a stormy time.

BY a vote of IA to IS, the House, after
two hours debate, passed the bill Of
fered by Mr.. Johnson, Of Indiana, au-
bcr ivip ha m fo1 ~
culatlon to the par value Of the bonds
deposited to secure it, an increase Of 1
per cent over the limit now allowed. The
bill was advocated by Messrs. Van Voor-
his, Johnson Of Indiana, and Brosius Of
Pennsylvania, and antagonized by Messrs.
Walker of Massachusetts, Cox of Ten
nessee. williams of Mississippi, and Bell

Mr.. Walkers speech was. in general, an
attack upon the misunderstanding law,
which he denounced as one Of the most
blighting acts ever enacted in this coun-
try.
