An unexoeeted contrrversy arose over

Piatt cut off an agreement by objection
Then I sMve notice nn the sentor

Mr Wolcott also added his nptlrc that
he will tako It up unless the sendt Is
ton thlr for a quorum
It looked as though a vote would bo
lution at the proper time
Mr Wolcott went on to declare that
the objections made were not casual Tho
senator from New York had persistently
shpvcd over this rtsolution front day

THE HOUSE
Washington March 30 The house to
day took up tho consideration ot the siln
rtry civil appropriation bill nnd dowsed
of fifteen of tho 100 pages before adjourn
menl During geneial debate Mr Can
lion tho present head of tho appropriation
committee mid his predecessor Mr Bay
ers of Texas Interchanged opinions as to
present and past appropriations
Mr Cannon In the couiso of hi re
inniks expressed the opinion that tho np
proprlatloiu for this session could not fill
below JH000000 The action of tho com
mltteo In appropriation for rontrnct
work until March 1M > 7 was attacked but
Mr Cannon Justified It on the grounl
that tho same thin hnd been dune la t
year In the ca o of the fortificationsbill
Hut few amendments were added to the
lillt today Eight amendments to Incrense
the salaries nf llglithouso sm > erliitendoiita
from HOT to flsoa were adopted
An amusing incident occurred aU the
opening of the session of the honso today
Mr Grasvcnor Rep Ohio nroso tocor
tect on inaceiuacy In tho RucoroJ lly
pome mistake a remark made by Mr Con
nelly Rep 111 nt tho pension session
Friday night about persldentlal fugle
men was omitted from the Connresslcirtl
Record but Mr Grovenor rejomdef
which was rather vigorous In Its diame-
ter appeared without Its provoking cause
Jlr Grosvenors thrust was there but a
explained the Record placed him In the
ridiculous attitude of slashing at nothlue
Mr Connelly replied that ho had not ob-
literated his remark He had not been In
the house he mid to learn the trick of
editing his speeches The mlstnke nnitt
have occurred el ewhere As for the In-
timation Intended to be conveyed that
Mr Grasvennr was a fugleman for any
piesldentlal candidate he good humoreoly
remarked that he would cheerfully aciuilt
the gentleman of such a charge Thereat
the hou H laughed nnd Speaker ReM
with a twinkle In his eye announced that
tho notion vvould now proceed with tho
consideration ot tho public business
Tho senate resolution nutnorMng F R
Green to exercise the duties nnd pavyrrs
heretofore conferred upon the Inlo Gen
eral Casey In relation to tho construction
of tho library ot coiikio was adopted
The hfiiate resolution authorizing ex
Presldent Harrison to accept certain med
als presented to him by the foveiliinents
of llrazll and Spain was also adopt
Tho honso then went lntoiV > mifrltk of
the whole nnd took up tho nun ry lvll
Air Illtt chairman of tho foreign com
mlltte gavo notice that ho would call up
the conleiviico ltport on the Cublin rjso
lutlons ns soon as tho sundry civil bill
was out of tho way
Why not take up the report non7
asked some one
I had Intended to nsk for Its considera-
tion today replied Mr HltL but i
jlcldcd owingto tho great lmportuuce of
this nppiopriallan hill
An arrangement wag cffoelrd by which
general di bato except on soino disputed
paragiaphs should Im elosed 111 one hour
Air Cannon chairman of the nppro
pilatlons coninilttre who was in charge
of the bill briefly explained Its provisions
Although this was a great rediiutlon Air
Cannon nrgued that tho bill cared for the
public service as well nnd in some in-
stances better than tho current law
This method does not diminish tho np
propilatlon to bo made Interjected Mr
McMlllItt Dent Tcniv but stems to
diminish them for thn prcswut
It does not diminish them icplled Air
Cannon
In other words said Air MoHllHi
It makes a record for this congress ami
bildges matteis over until after tho elec-
tion
Air Cannon Impatiently denied that
there was a politicnl motlvo behind tho
action of thti nppioislavlona committee
In conclusion Air Cannon said he did not
think llm appropriation for this stsslon
not taking into consideration authoriza-
tions for nuval and river and harbor
work would rail below tMOoooON Thn
public service In his opinion could not be
provided for two years for less jinn
tlCXJtsiO000 Now liovvevn tho govern-
ment was hoiiovvlng money to piy cur-
rent expenses In view of this fact ho
appealed to tho house to keep down ap
propriations nnd bo content with caring
for tho public service as It existed
Air Sayeis IJern Texas excholrmnn
of the appropriations committee replied at
feme length m Mr Cannon In a general
Jay hn Indorsed the llms In the bill but
he declared It was a false pretense nn Its
face It purported to be n bill providing
for the sundry civil expenses for the ttsrai
year ending Juno 30 1817 whereas It wat
admitted that In nil the contract woilt the
appropriations did not extend beyond
