All that the Senate had to do with itju'.t now was to coii'idir the accident to the canal lock and ho thought that, as tiie appropriations made in the nvir and harbor bill of two years co wire still in force, tlie engineer tlcattra"-nt had money enough at ii dii-al to nnu-dy the deficit. There was no U-nelit in the Senate makinga very extraordinary display of it-el; on the subject. l'ayne va'j Uie damage waslieing rejinired as fast as 500 men could do it. and it -a-ould be completed to-morrun' to-morrun' or next day, but the main olject of appeal to Congress was Uiat provMan should be made for an additional lock. After discussion the resolution was agreed to. The re-olution ollered Siaturday by i'lunihas to the reintcnuent of the remains of Grant in Arlington National Cemetery was, at the suggestion of Plumb, allowed to re-nuiu re-nuiu on the table, to be called up at some other time. The tarifl bill was taken up, the Iudiug question being on West's amendment tii tlie chinawaru paragraph para-graph for h reduction of tlie duty on decorated to GO per cent art valorcn aud on plain, undecorated ware to 41 tier cent Instead of 55 and 50, as recomuiendcd by the finance committer, com-mitter, and instead of CO and 113 in the House bill.

The amendment was then rejected; yeas 19; na s 25. 'the ajikndiient of tlie finance committee making the lates 55 and 00 jier cent, was agreed to without divi-ion. The next question was on the committee amendment to paragraph Ml. as to "all other china, etc,"' striking out the House paragraph, which fixes the rate on decorated ware at 00ir cent and on uudecc-rated uudecc-rated at 55 .t cent, aud substituting another designation on which the rate cf."M percent is fixed.

Washisgtox, Aug. 4. The House went into committee of the wholoon tbo general deficiency appropriation ap-propriation bilk Henderson cl lews explained that the Taclfic railroad claims .were notproviaed for inthobSli. While he believed thb time was near at hand when these claims would have to bo settled, the committee was practically unanimous in refusing tojirovidefor their payment when they are still pending In the courts of the country. Itogert (Ark.)aliaclted tlieSpeaKer andhis-rullBKS. The code or rules, he said, undir which the House ias rroceeding gave the Speaker powet to stifle debate, gaj the Hoii'e, force the Jiassasebr bllli, avoid eiposure, outrage and mistreat tlie minority and bulldoze tbo majority. He had degraded the majority with a full assurance oa the part of tlie republican repub-lican members that If th's 'ho'-lld break down littler the judgment judg-ment bit tbo liberty-loving people, peo-ple, they would petifh like Samson, Sam-son, under the ruins, but if it succeeded that he alone should reap all tlie glory. Their wtnt of patriotic courage was exceeded only by their suicidal stupidity, and among them all there has not been found a man with the courage of a Jackson, the patriotism of a Henry, r.nd the love of liberty tint Inspired Ih's fathert rrhb ciled: "This 1 our country; tbtse are our liberties; there are our countrymen and YOU AKE OUll SEttVANTfc, and wo will not liaveone trodden down tinder fob or outraged and nn;Vd." "No." he concluded, ''may I tell you, Mr. Speaker, that they curse i ou, and hate you, aud when you are assailed in private and in public you are silent." Henderson (la.) defended the Speaker agaln-t the attack made Un him by ltogcrs. He referred lo htm as "the mighty man ram Malue,'' and declarvd.tlrtt hb ctood today jis thn 'toweling, historic, EWiiuI figure of thisageof legislative victory and reform. Commenting on the legislation of the session. Henderson touched upon the tariff bill, saying although some republicans republi-cans might have desired to amend it, by reason of tho organized opposition on Urn other side, the t'mo had been so con-tnmVM con-tnmVM that these amendments could not be made. It seemed as though the minority was bent on preventing prevent-ing all amendments. This House had pasted the silver bill, whereby silver was already marching forward for-ward to take a place beside gold; this House had been the first one with the courage, aud patriotism to lass an anti-Treasury bill; it had lasoed an election bill and not a force bill, as Its enemies tedk pleasure pleas-ure In calling it. The Hotiro had iiassei! the orleilial ictckaee" bill. marching boldly forward to tlie demands de-mands of the tst thought of the l-eople of tho nation, north and south. Republicans of this House liad erected a pyramid of legislation. legisla-tion. Breckinridge (Ar.) criticised a code of rules and proceeded to contrast con-trast the personal aud political relation rela-tion which existed between SI'EAKEK CAItLlStLi: and the members and that which existed between theru and Speaker Reed. In the lat Congress the memtiers of the minority hail always al-ways been treated courteously. Xow a member of the minority rising for recognition did not know what treatment he would receive at the hands of the Sieaker. He then proceeded to make an earnest apjieal against the force bill, concluding as follows: "Oentlemen of tlie North w he hall wo not come bigrthei! Win cannot welaj as.!delhc-esupicIou! You cannot taku your 'rotten boroughs bo-roughs from the South; you cannot hold lower there by mercenaries put at tho poll; you cannot keep inlitical lower there by debauchery of the ballot box or jury box; you cannot make the country one" by turning out menibcrj Who are elected elect-ed by the ioi4e and seating men nou electci by your voters. What you can do is this: You can aid the people of the South to build up that country, you can help the United States keep i n line. Your tons may come aud live among u, throw their lot with ours, intermarry in our families, so that while there w ill still Iv a North aud a South, it w ill l a loving and rich North, a ros-Ierous ros-Ierous and patriotic South. That is what w e democrat who, on this side of the chamber, VnoTEST AGAINST YOCK KITES desire to have done by the people who are behind you at home. I appeal to Massachusetts; I apiieal to the Western Reserve, sellleu by men who came from Ne;r Knglaud; I appeal to tho living soldiers who met U3 In battle array; I appeal to the Christians who kneel with us at the same altar; I appeal to the brave men who recognize sincerity and bravery behind you; I appeal to the living people of the'North to give us their confidence. We will deserve it,wudo deserve it, and he who says otherwise does not know us. I eak today in the sight of God and this body, and of those people who have known me since I w as a little boy, when I say from the fuluess of-my of-my heart that there is no reason why the North and the South should be apart; there is every reason why the brave and the true menof both sections should believe rach other. Loud applause on the democratic side. Iloutellesaldhehad no desire to attempt any defense of the Speaker from the kind of remarks which bad been made from certain sources today. to-day. He then commented ujon the Clayton-Ureckenridge case, taking as his text the press reiort of tlie majority of the committee on elections. elec-tions. Upon this text ho built a strong denunciation of the election methods In the Southern States. Breckenridgo(Ky.)said that his relative, the gentleman from Arkansas, Ar-kansas, bad nor sought an easy es-e-ape by a cowardly resignation of his seat lu Congress, indicated that the gentleman from Arkansas knew that he had done nothing to be ashamed of, and be knew that the truth, w hen fairly found, would not affect hliu. Pending action on the bill, the committee rose and the House adjourned. ad-journed. Emperor lllllnm at Oaborue. IaiXdoN, Aug. 4.
