HOUSE.
Washington. April 10. The house,
after one of the hardest and most des-
perate fights in its history, succeeded
in forcing the senate to recede from
its contention in the war resolutions
for the independence of the existing
government in Cuba. With that ex-
ception the house accepted the senate
resolutions Three hundred and ten
votes were cast for the declaration
upon which we go to war, if war ii is
to be. Only six votes were cast
against it.
After the house met at 10 o'clock
Monday morning, in accordance with
the recess taken Saturday, Mr. Ding
ley, the republican floor leader, moved
an adjournment, which was carried,
putting off the regular session till
noon. The house adjourned for the
reason that no message could be re-
ceived from the senate until that body
was in session.
After adjournment the republican
leaders who mapped out the program
OF rejecting the clause of the senate
resolutions providing for the recogni-
ton of the independence of the pres
ent republic continued labcring with
these of their colleagues who still OBJ
stinately refused to acquiesce.
The speaker summoned his lieuten-
ants to his room in the lobby in the
rear of the hall and the situation was
earnestly discussed Every republic
an who was likely to break over the
traces was surrounded by a crowd of
his colleagues and besieged with argu
ments and reasons why he could not
be justified in joining the opposition
at this critical juncture. But, headed
by Messrs. Lorimer and Mann of Ill
inois, and Bromwell of Ohio most of
them refused to be persuaded. The
democrats and populists were a unit
for the adoption of the senate resolu-
tions and Mr.. Bailey, the democratic
leader held several consultations with
the "insurgent" chiefs.
AS the hands OF the clock pointed to
noon the speaker called the house to
order. At 1901 p. m. the senate reso-
luton was received. The democrats
applauded when the recognition clause
was read Mr.. Dingley stood during
the reading of the resolution. He
moved to concur with an amendment
striking out the recognition clause. He
then moved the previous question Mr..
Bailey asked if a motion to concur was
in order Mr.. Reed said not. Mr..
Bromwell moved that they concur.
applause on the democratic side
The aye and nay vote was then taken
on the Dingley motion, which resulted
in its being carried. ITS 20 1856.
Mr. Sherman, VINO mad been selected
as referee in the controversy be-
tween Messrs. Bartlett and Brumm
over the sensational personal encoun-
ter of last Wednesday, read state
ment to which both had subscribed
Mr.. Sherman stated that the matter
had been adjusted satisfactorily to
both gentlemen and that both had
apologized This honorable settle
ment Of the difficulty was received
with general approval The house
then quieted down and proceeded un-
der the call Of committees to the con
sideration of minor matters
after ii became noised about the
house side that the senate had non
concurred without request for con
ference, the leaders held hasty con
sultation and the galleries filed rapid
ly. At g.: 40 p. m. the resolutions were
returned to the house with the senate's
decision to nonconcur The speaker
recognized Mr.. Dingley, who moved
that the house insist upon its amend
ment and ask for a conference. Upon
his motion he demanded the previous
question. Mr. Bailey, as parliament
AIRY inquiry, 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
