AFTER WARM DEBATE.
Pension Resolution Regarding Colored
Troops is Adopted.

Washington. Dec. 6.-The Senate to-
day adopted the Penrose resolution re-
curing the President to send in infor-
nation regarding the discharge of the
negro troops of the 25th Infantry and
also the Foraker resolution directing
the secretary of war to transmit infor-
nation in the possession of his depart
III, Mt on the same subject. Both resolu-
tons carry an identical amendment by
Culberson asking specifically for the
order to Major Penrose. commanding
the troops which directed him not to
turn over to the Texas authorities GER
tain of the troops demands.
This action followed a debate of two
hours and was taken without a roll call
or opposition vote. The debate deval-
Oped along two distinct lines, one as to
the propriety of asking the President
for the information or directing the
secretary of war to furnish it, and the
other an Indulgence by few senator's
in comment on the merits of the case.
Spooner took the ground that in mat
ters where Congress had an absolute
right to information in the possession
of the Executive it had always been
customary to direct a cabinet officer to
furnish it. In matters where it had not
this right and in which there was some
doubt about the ACCESSIBILITY of public
ity, Congress usually made a request
upon the President. if it desired the in
formation, with the understanding that
1t should be furnished eff not incom-
patible with the public interest" This
view was supported also by Foraker
while Lodge quoted precedents to the
contrary.
To lay the foundation for a discussion
of this point, Carter observed that 1T had
been alleged and not denied that the
troops in question had committed murder
in Texas. This brought Foraker to his
feet with an emphatic disclaimer. This
allegation had been denied, he said. and
much evidence adduced to support the
denial.
WELL" continued Carter, at has been
alleged and not denied that there was a
disturbance participated in by the
troops.

IN THE HOUSE.

Washington. Dec 6.-The House. by a
vote of 10 to 164 today defeated the bill
of Representative Littlefield of Maine.
removing determinations against
American sailing vessels in the coast
ing trade. This bill. commonly known
as the anti-compulsory pilotage bill,
has been the subject Of many hearings
in the committee on merchant marine
and fisheries and has excited great in
terest throughout the lake and ocean
shipping sections of the country.
The debate ragged for four hours and
a half, a score or more of representa-
tives participating.
The result of the vote was a surprise
to the friends of the measure, who
openly charged its defeat to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. Many votes
on the Republican side, however, were
secured as protest against the inva-
sion OF the rights of the states. The del
egation from California as well as rep
resentatives from other Western states
saw in the bill an opportunity to file a
protest against restricting the rights of
states to deal with the pilotage ques-
tiCn at first hand. The House at p.
NJ. adjourned until tomorrow when the
war claims will be taken up.

HOW THE BILL DIED.
Unexpected and Decided Opposition
from the West and South.

Washington. Dec. 6.-The Littlefield
pilotage bill to remove discrimination
against American sailing vessels in the
coasting trade was defeated in the
House today, 10 to 1874. Humphrey,
Wash. supported the bill. Mann. Ills,
asked if the bill was not selfish to a
degree. and Humphrey replied it was
selfish in favor of American vessels
and that the middle West seemed to
want no legislation except that which
affected the corn fields.
Shirley, KY. said the bill was drawn
in the interest. of the north Atlantic
ports and to the hurtfulness of the
pilotage business in Southern ports
Replying to Prince, Ills, Forkney,
Mich. said he did not know whether
labor organizations had endorsed the
bill or not, but he stood for the justice
and the merit of the bill without re-
gard to labor organizations.
Littlefield. in charge of the bill, hear
ing labor organizations mentioned. re-
marked: THAT makes me little tired

Speaking of Littlefield. Lamar. Fla,
remarked it was Rather singular that
tHlS OIL Wnlcn is opposed by labor
should come so swiftly before Congress
after its converting furthered by a
gentleman who was just out of seri-
Gus collision with laboring men,"
Minor. Wis. characterized the pres
ent pilotage law as one Of the worst
species of Graft" in the country.
Littlefield stated that the measure
sought to create free pilotage system
from Old Point Comfort to the Rio
Grande, such as exists from Old Point
to PASSPORT, Me-, and from British
Columbia to Mexico on the Pacific. He
remarked that a pernicious system had
grown up in Mississippi ports where
discrimination was made against

regarding the discharge of negro troops
and he and Senator Penrose again en-
gagged in the controversy over the
right of precedence on the respective
resolutions.
The discussion dealt largely with the
question Of rropriety in addressing
such resolutions to the President. Sem

the negro troops had been guilty of
murder at Brownsville whereupon SEN
