, August 4. Senntor
Windom reporto'l ' house foreign bijl
for thu establishment of diplomatic
relations with Persia , and authorizing
the appointment of n consul general to
thai country nt a salary of § 5,000.
Passed ,
House bill to relieve certain soldiers
of the Into war from the charge of do-
scrtion waa passed , so nmonded as to
exclude from its bandits thoao who
served leHS than welvo months , or
who intentionally deserted.
The tax reduction bill waa them
taken up , 40 to 2 , but waa temporarily
laid nsiito to enable Senator Slater to
call up the conference report on the
Indian Crook orphan fund bill. On
the latter motion , Senatora Cameron
( Wis. ) , IngnUa , Saundcrs nnd Van
NVyck , with Davis ( III. ) , voted nye
with the democrats.
The pi incipal point in controversj
on the Indian bill was the item of
§ 1,000,000 , for the eupport of the
loynl rofugcea of the tribe , which the
senate had voted to have chargoii
usjains ! the Cceok fund , nnd na U
which the conferees reported that the
money shall bo paid by the United
States directly mjd nothing in the
net shall prevent the Litter from being
reimbursed hereafjor for the same by
the Crook nation , i The report , after
discussion , was adopted.
Senator Hale presented n conference
report upon the naval appropriatioi
bill and explained that argcOmonts had
been roochod upon all itema in dis
pute except that in reference to the
temporary closing of the navy yerdi
and the transfer of perishable proper
ty and atoroa therefrom , nnd one
authorizing the .joport to be mad
upon ndditionnl Innda nnd water fron
for the Norfolk navy yard. He sail
tbo house conference regarded the
lessoning uf the number of yards n
the most important reform in the bil
as they believed there was now toi
many yards Personally the senate
conferees agreed with them in this
but were constrained in view of thi
vote of the senate , to report i
formal disagreement. The reault o
the compromises upoi other item
waa aa follows : Senate umondmen
protecting the government from an ;
liability to complete unfiniahod mon
itora is asaentod to by the house ; reductions
ductions in the line has boon arranged
by restoring commodores to 10 ii
number , and distributing the reduc
tions agreed upon through the diflor
ent gradea aa follows : Rear ndmirnli
4 , commodores 15 , captains 5 , com
manders 3 , lieutenant commanders 8
lieutenants 30 , instead of 80 as pro
posed by the house ; masters 25 , en
signs 23. This would leave the num
ber of commanders to bo retained a
10 , und it would bo BOOH the reduc
tiou was less in the upper than in the
lower grades In reference to the
sale of aliips stores and supplies it is
provided that old and useless ships ar
to bo appraised and re
ported upon , the secretary o
the navy to report to congrosa bofon
taking action , and that poriahabli
materiala may be Bold after _ publi <
advertisement and duo provision fo
open public Bale. The confereca hai
not interfered with the pay
now received by any officer , bu
! iud provided that hereafter elli
cors upon the retired lis
shall have rnnk and pay to which
.hey were entitled on the date of ro
liromont. Thia was intended to cor
rect an abuse in the past and wouh
> re ont an ofl'uer who had been jiro
noted without pay from scour
ng an increase in pay by apecin
legislation because of his proniu
ion. CoiiBarning duty to which ofli.
cera shall bo assigned who are
not at cen , that part o
the clauae which provides tha
auch ollicars bo aask'iiod to there
duty when the aecrotary of the
navy can corti'y ' what is their duty ,
is retained in the bill , und the remainder
maindor , including the part direct
ing the eoonitary in certain
caaoa to assign ofllcera upon furlough
pay , ia atricked out. This loaves the
law unchanged in thia respect. The
conference report waa accepted and anew
now conforeea appointed upon the two
items remaining in dispute.
Senators Logan , Cameron , . .
Anthony , Hamilton and Jones , ( FJa.
wore constituted a select committee
under the recent resolution to exam
ine and report upon heavy ordinances
and projociles.
After executive session Senators
Allison , Halo and Beck were appoint

bill. Consideration of the tax reduc
tion bill ivna resumed , the question
being upon Senator flarria' amend
ment providing for n reduction of 1C
per cent after January 1st , 1883 , and
un additional 10 per cent after Janu
ary lit , 1884 , upon important duties.
Senator Harris rose to discuss his
proposition and Senator Pendleton
moved an executive aession.
MJI
Senator Merrill regarded the moni
tion aa intended to delay the bill nnd mi
Senator Pendleton disclaimed any Di
such intention and urged that execu- na
tive business demand attention. wi
Senator Harris said bankers and co
patent medicine men can wait ono co
day before getting that relief which the
ho senator from Vermont is BO mixnci
ous to extend them.
Senator Rollins demanded the yens
, nd nnya and the motion waa voted
lown by n straight party vote 23 to
