NEWS FROM THE SENATE.
After it became noised about on the
concurred. with request for confer
ence, the leaders held hasty consulta-
tions, and the galleries filed rapidly.
At $40 p. m. the resolutions were re-
turned to the house with the senate's
decision to non-concur. Mr.. Dingley,
Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Cromwell CRep. o.
were all ON their feet asking for recog-
milton. The speaker recognized MI
Dingley, who moved that the house in
sist upon its amendments and ask for
a conference.
Upon his motion, he demanded the
previous question.
NJ. Bailey, as a parliamentary in
quiry, desired to know of the chair
whether a motion to recede and concur
would not take precedence.
The speaker said he thought not.
Mr.. Bailey cited precedent from the
29th congress which he said covered
the exact case in point. The speaker
asked to see it. The members waited
with breathless interest. while the
speaker examined it. When he de-
cided that it would hold, the Demo-
Gratis applauded. The speaker then
recognized Mr.. Bromwell. who formally
made the motion to recede and concur
This time the Democrats cheered and
the galleries Joined in the demonstra-
ton. AS the previous question cut off

messengers and officials scurrying in
all directions to drive in absentees.

mittee rooms, restaurants ard every
place where stray congressman. might
be routed out by the pages and en-
ployees of the house. 1t was like a call
to arms.
The responses on the roll call were
watched closely for further OBJECTIONS
from the Republican side, but there
were no acquisitions. In fact two of
the Republicans who voted against the
motion to concur with an amendment
on the last vote, Messrs Johnston of
Indiana and Loud of California, voted
with the Republicans. They did not, |
however. properly belong to the defiec-
ton on the other vote. as they voted as
they did because they oppose any ac-
ton whatever.
DEMOCRATS DEFEATED.
The announcement of the defeat of
the motion, 1878, was the signal for
another demonstration on the Repub-
lican side.

for the motion to concur: Belknap. |
Lorimer, Mann, Warner and White of |
Illinois. Bromwell and Brown of Ohio, |
Colson of Kentucky, Cooper of Wiscon- !

to without division. the opposition re-
alizing the manifest uselessness of de- !

Just before O'Clock the appointment |
of Adams tRep. PAD. Heatmole (Rep. |
Mimi and ,DinsmoTe Dem. Ark, as !
conferees on the Cuban resolution, was |
announced.
Mr.. Grosvenor then moved to adjourn. |
but Mr.. Cannon called attention to the |
fact that the house would have to await |
the action of the senate before the res
Olutions would be legally in conference. !
He thought the house should remain in |
session. Thereupon Mr.. Grosvenor with
drew the motion and upon Mr.. Can

DURING RECESS.
While the house was awaiting half

the echoes with patriotic songs. The
battle hymn of the republic was sung
by General Henderson of Iowa.
The house reconvened at o'clock.
The members We're jubilant over the
news which fioated about that the
conferees had agreed-the senate to

the house agreeing to restore the

arose, when it was discovered that
there was still hitch over the words
ARE and the two Republicans of the

this point.
SOUR APPLE TREE"
Several of the members of the house
were in their dress suits, and in the
galleries were many brilliant evening
costumes. Nothing was done until
S:45 p. M, when the clerk of the SEN

senate to the house amendment and
the appointment of conferees.
