rnOCBKDINOH IN THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON , March 10. Mr. Harrison
risen called i-p the bill appropriating
an additional $100,000 for the reliol
of the flooded districts , nnd it was
passed with the house amendment.
Mr. Logan addressed the senate on
his bill to appropriate the entire in
ternal revenue receipts from the
manufacture of distilled spirits for
education , to bo distributed among
states and territories , according to
population.
The amendment reported from the
postofGco committee to the postoflico
appropriation bill provides for sub
sidizing the lines of ocean mail steam
ers , the service to bo distributed one-
fifth on the Pacific coast , two-fifths
north of Philadelphia , and two-fifths
south of Philadelphia.
Mr. Logan's bill was referred to the
committee on education and the sen
ate proceeded with consideration of
the postoflice appropriation' bill.
Senator Plumb , in explaining his
amendment increasing the fist mail
service appropriation to050,000 , said
hitherto the service had worked to
the almost exclusive benefit of New
York newspapers and persons having
communications with that city. The
committee , ho said , felt it more in
consonance with the interests and
wishes of the-people tc add to the ap
propriation in orrtur that Chicago , St.
Paul , Cincinnati , St. Louis , Now
Orleans and Boston might enjoy the
benefit of _ those facilities in common
with Now York. The amendment
was agreed to after debate.
Mr. Edmunds offered an amend
rnent restoring the franking privilege
io senators arid representatives on let
ters or packages cent lining only writ-
tea or printed matter , weighing . .over
two ounces. ( ;
Mr. Ferry opposed the amendment
on the ground that it would lead to a
revival of the abuses which existed
under the old franking laws.
After a short debate the amend
ment was carried yeaa 40 , nays 13.
Senators voting in the negative
were Messrs. Cockrell , Coke , Concer ,
Farley , Ferry , Hill ( Oal. ) , McMillan ,
McPhonon , Maxay , Pendloton , Ran
som , Siulsbury and Sherman.
The senate went int executive ses
sion , and at 5:55 : adjourned.
PBOCEEDINOS IN THE HOUSE.
At this merning Mr. McLi'no made
a point of order that the speaker last
night was in . error ruling regarding
the controversy 'with Mr. Money
( Miss. ) . The sneaker read a state
ment that ho did not intend to repri
mand , only the idea was to chock dis
order. It he was on the floor of the
house he would support the resolu
tion.
tion.The
The resolution was then withdrawn.
Taylor , ( Ohio ) , successor to Garfield -
field , delivered his first speech in the
house , speaking against the Chinese
bill. ID was delivered extempor
aneously and was listened to with
marked interest , members from both
sides gathering about and standing
during the entire hour of tlio delivery ,
warmly applauding him and many
personally congratulating him at the
jjoso. lie opposed the bill because-
was unnecessary and dangerous , and
only jiutificable. on the ground of
self-defense. If they were Voters ho
claimed this bill would not meet the
support it does. The claim that they
; ono ; into competition with and injure
; he labor of the country was cheap
and baseless. They had built railroads
wlion no other labor could bo had and
reclaimed lands none other > v < juld
attempt. It is doubtless true they
did not come here desiring to remain ,
but by coming here and giving a large
amount of labor for a email sum of
money and going back with the m > ncy
and leaving the labor , had they
wronged this countrj ? "If there is a
right that b sacred , " euid the speaker ,
"it is that nun may go where he
chooses to labor for his bread. You
talk of their leprosy and their other
forms of diseases and yet you employ
them to was'i cloUirs you put upon
your body , you employ them in yoir
houses. L-t them alone. D.m't em
ploy them and you will yourselves
shut them out and drive out those
who are here. What will it bo ncxtt
I sound the alarm to the foreign born
population of our country. It is a
strike at their privileges. Whore will
it end ) Who can tell ) Lot th' < sj
who remember the scenes and preju
dices of 1851 answer. You are sow.
ing the wind and you will reap the
whirlwi d , as the ways of God ara
unchangeable. "
Mr. Blount followed , claiming that
the system of slavery under which
the Chinese came hero was one of the
greatest objections to their coming and
that this system U recognized and en
couraged by the Chinese government.
The debate will bo continued.
A resolution was adopted directing
the committee on foreign affairs to require
quire Shipherd to produce copies o
all correspondence had with any mr
tie * touching any attempts to induce
the United States government to rec
ognize the Peruvian company.
A resolution was also adopted re
questing the president to communi
cate to the Isicaraguan governm nt
the necessity for a convention be
tween the countries touching ad
justment of Nicanvguan claims.

CHICAGO , March 10. - Lieutenant
Schwatka , ono of the Arctic explorers
who participated in the Franklin
search expedition of 1879-80-81 , is
in the city , and in an interview this
iftornoon said that Lieutenant Do
Long was considered a very able man
in the navy. He had participated
previously in the Junita uxpidition.
De Long and his party could not pos
sibly have survived , as they had only
two days' provisions. The present
search party will proceed down the
coast when the snow leaves the
ground , and shortly attar the rivers
are open. It will bo best for them to
return , by the same route , but th y
may possibly find their way out to the
Pacific coast. News of the searching
party will probably reach us by the
middle June.

Destructive Storm.

LirrtK ROCK , Ark. , March 1C.
At thrco o'clock yesterday afternoon.
a rain and hail storm visited this
city , but not of a character BO unu
sual aa to create much comment. It
sped on southeastward along the
Arkansas valley , and in its course as
sumed _ the proportions of a cyclone.
When it reached Arkansas City , al
ready the victim of the overflow , it
appears to have concentrated ita
strength there. Several houses were
lifted off their foundations , and hurled
into the surrounding water * . The
terrible force of the hurricane
was unexpected. No lives ire
reported lost , but the inmates of the
hpuiscs overcome wcro saved with
difficulty. A dozen or moro houses
altogether are wrecked , among them
the thirst residences in the county and
.that of Deputy Sheriff Ross , just com
pleted. The storm appears to have
begun northwcs of this city and com
menced to acquire destructive force
soon after leaving us. Mr. Horace
Allis , general passenger agent of the
Pine Bluffs rpad , reports it as violent
sixteen miles south of hero , whore ho
was caught in the storm. At Pleasant
Landing the steamer J. A. Woodson ,
of the above road , had her
rigging torn away. Near Pine Bluff ,
forty miles south of hero , a mule was
killed by the boating of hail atones.
This ought to bo good proof of the
force of the storm. Along the route
of the storm much damagu is reported
but no further particulars.

I overtook the vice president and told

him inaugurated and ho commenced

His grief at the death of the president
