Carried by the Deficiency Bill Passed
by the Senate.

Washington, June 30.-A precedent
that will be historic was established by
the senate at its session yesterday. For
probably the first time in the history
of the senate a resolution was adopted
rendering the thanks of congress to
common seamen, specifically naming
them in the resolution. The resolution
elected several patriotic speeches, il
which the private soldiers of the army
and the common sailors of the navy
were glowingly eulOgized. The resOlu-
lions recommended by the president
were adopted, rendering the thanks of
congress to Naval Constructor Hobson
and the other heroes of the Merrimac
and to Lieut.. Frank H. Newcomb, COM
mander of the revenue cutter Hudson,
for his gallant rescue of the Winslow
and her crew off CardenaS; and retir-
ing on full pay Captain Hodgsden, of
the McCulloch for distinguished SER
vices at Manila.
Consideration of the general defici-
ency bill, was concluded and the meas
ure was passed An amendment of
great Importance was attached to the
bill, practically by general consent 1t
relates to the settlement of the claims
of the government against the Pacific
railways. 1t was offered by Mr.. Nor
gan (Ala.) who made a strong appeal
to the senate for it's adoption. Before it
was agreed to Mr.. White (Cal.) pro-
posed some amendments to it, making
it even more binding upon the roads
than it was in it's original form. The
amendment in full follows:
That the secretary of the treasury,
the secretary of the interior and the
attorney general and their successors
in Office be, and they are hereby APP

Washington, June 30.-Commissary
General Egan of the army, has awarded
to Swift & Co., of Chicago, contract
for supplying the troops in Cuba with
refrigerated beef in such quantities
and at such places as may be required.
The contract involves the shipment to
Cuba of large cargoes of dressed meat
to be used not alone for the soldiers, but
also for feeding the reconcentrados
and the Cuban troops. The government
guarantees the contract to last not less
than three months and the beef is to be
furnished so that it will be perfectly
good and fit for use 72 hours after it's
delivery.
1t is impossible at this time to saw
just how much beef will be required but

three months are up it will amount to
