VOUTY-K 1C HT H COXG HKSS. JIOUSK. WASHINGTON , D. 0. , March 10. Mi Curtin ( dom. , Pa. ) , chairman of th committco on foreign affairs , reported a a privileged question the following resc lutions : The resolutions adopted by the hous on the 9th of January , were intended t express to the German government am people sympathy for the death of ai eminent man , who had died in this conn try , who had served his native land as ; member of ita highest legislative body us a tribute of respect to his memory "While your committee is of the opinioi that said resolutions should have beei received and transmitted , in the sain spirit of cordialty and good will by whicl they were prompted , it refrains from ex pressing an opinion as to whether th course pursued by the authorities of th Gorman empire , in regaid to them wa or was not in accordanc with the proprieties governing the inter nal regulations of said empire , us a mat ter not within its province of considera tiou. The dignified position assumed b the department of state merits and wii command thu confidence of thu country fully sustaining the high character tha department has sustained since the or gauization of the federal government. As to the resolutions olfured on th ICth of March , your committee is o opinion they contain language that is , under dor the present circumstances , super lluous and irrelevant , and not nocessan or proper to vindicate the character o dignity of this house , Your committei therefore reports back said resolutions with the recommendation that they Hi upon thu table , and reports the followinj resolutions , with the rocommondatioi that they bo adopted us a substituti therefor : Jicnolvctl , That the resolutions refer ring to the death of Dr , Edward Lasker adopted by this houao January 9th laat wore intended as a tribute at respect tt the memory of an eminent utatesrnai who had died with us and an oxpresaioi of sympathy with the Gorman people fo whom ho had boon an honorable ropro Bontative. Jlcaolvcd , That the house , having m oflicial concern with the relations between tweon the oxecutivn and legislativi branches of the Gorman government does not deem it requisite to ita digntt ; to criticise the manner of the recoptioi of the resolutions or the circumstance which prevented their reaching tliei destination after they had been com municated through the proper channel to the Gorman government. Curtin immediately demanded th previous qudution. Mr , Jveagau ( dem. Tex ) hoped th previous question would not bo ordered The house had made apologies imougl for having been insulted. Mr. Cox ( dem. N. Y. ) moved to la ; the whole matter on the table. Thu was the way to treat the German chan collor. The motion was lost 81) ) to 125. The proviouu question having been or dered , fllr. Ochiltreo ( ind. Tex. ) rose t debate the resolutions. Ho yielded t no gentleman in his esteem for and confi donee in the distinguished members o the foreign utlaira committee. Ordiuaril ; he was dupobed to rely on their Judy ment , but this atlair had gone boyoni ' the domain of rod tape and circumlocu tion , It had assumed a phase wind called on each and every ri-prosentativ to look to it that hia individual honu and dignity wore preserved mid in doin so to defend the dignity of the people It was not becoming the dignity of thi body to enter into an explanation of th meaning of the original reaolutiona. Mr. Ochiltrce then delivered a eulog on the high abilities and noble charade of Linker , and said the complimeut t Lasker was n rebuke to his opposite , [ Bisimrck ) , who ho proceeded to charac terize as a Mattering and nycomplmntu instrument of despotic royalty. Sir. 1'holps ( rep , N. J. ) explained that the resolutions of .lamnry Hth won hurriedly passed just as the house wm about to adjourn , without the member realizing fully their toi.or. When tin information came that lliamarck refitset to accept them , the mumbora hunted \ \ \ the record and found they had passed i resolution of sympathy at the death o La.ikor , which was all right and hai expressed a belief that his libora sentiments had advanced the matoria and eocial interests of Germany whicl was also true. Congress had a right ti send the first opinion everywhere , but i had no right to send the second opinioi to a friendly power which ontortnincc an opposite opinion. The house conk resent the fact that its friendly eenti menU had been rejected , but it could no rcsont thu fact that ill political senti ments had been rejected , becAUse it hat no business putting them on the sami paper. The resolutions worn adopted withou division ; though an uniuceuasful attonip wn made to ha\o the yeas and nay , ordered.

Thru this long-expected struggle eve the whisky bill begun. Mr. liUckburn ( dom , Ky. ) moved ti go into committee of the whole on * h revenue bills. Mr. llvindiill ( dem. , Pa. ) demanded th yeas and nays. The motion was agree to yeas WO , nays 121 , and the hoiia went into committee with Mr. Doi sheimer ( dem. , Pa. ) in the chair. The first bill waa the bonded cxtonsio bill. bill.Mr. Mr. Hiscock ( rep. , N Y. ) objected t its consideration. His objection wai n ported to the houno mid was overruled b a vote of 137 to 118. The committee resumed session , Mi Morrison ( dem. , 111. ) taking the floor i support of the bill. Defaro ho ha finished a sentence , however , Mr. Whit ( rep. , Ky. ) rose , saying he had move the committee rise for the purpose t bringing privileged matter before th hot ! o. Tfiu chair stated that ho had recognize the gentleman from Illinois ( Morrison ] and on Whits'a taking an appeal , refuse to notice it on the ground that the nj peal was not in order. Thereupon White rose to n point < i order , llo said a member of the whisk ring was now on thu floor , when ho hai previously { | iveu his pledge that ho hai no interest in any bill before the homo Within a few daja from making tha pledge ho hud appeared before the committee mittoo on ways and means in nupport o u. bill , and wan now on the floor , as we ] us the editor of the Courier Journa from the town where there is mor whisky in bond than m any other tow : in the United States Mr. Blackburn submitted that thia wn not a point order , and said his colleagu know thai ho had no right to be hear upon it. The chair ruled that it was not a poin ofo rdcr. White : I say I am entitled to bo hoan on a question privilege. The geutlmnai from iSow York ( Dorahcimer ) has decid ed that I am not in order ; he must Ink the responsibility. You may bulldoz thia bill through but ( the remainder o the sentence was drowned in erica c "Order ! " ) Mr. Morrison then made a dtatomen as to the purpose and object of the bill If thia business of converting grain iut alcohol existed only to bo taxed , the : the beneficiariesof _ his bill were ontitlei to no consideration here. Regarding i aa a legitimate branch of manufacturing industry , it was entitled to bo placec on equal basis with till othe industries. From this industry the gov ernment derived more than one-Fifth o all ita revenue. In the next few month there would be forced out of the ware houses 25,000,000 gallons which must pai tax , and m the next few years 70,000,001 gallons , for much of which there wouli be no market. The commissioner of internal tornal revenue baa estimated that tin surplus for which thorn would be in market would amount in the next twi yoara to 45,000,000 gallons. In tin years when this whisky was made every thing was overdone ; excessive produc tion was not nlone in thia industry. Sup pose thto surplus wan purely the result o the speculative spirit of our people , wa that a good and natisfactory reason wh ; an industry of this magnitude tliould b enforced to pay taxed when the govern ment had nothing to makuby thia enforce meat ? Morrinon denied that lie wa advocating class lofjialation , uwurtin ; that this bill was to undo , at far as i went , Bjiecial legislation agaiiut thia in dustry. If this bill was passed it wouli not cost the government one single cent and it would not add to the burden of i single perton of our fifty-five million pea [ ile to the extent of the hundredth par of a farthing , Mr. Willis ( dem. , Ky. ) said the psopli of Illinois , Kentucky , Ohio aud half ; dozen other states were deeply and vi tally interested in the immediate pasaag of this bill , but ita friends did not win' to push it through by any railroai scheme. If there waa anything wroh in it , they wanted it to come out. H therefore yielded to Blackburn , whr with the oxpressud hope that the consid eration of the bill would ba concluded U morrow , moved that the committee ria < The motion un * agreed to , and the houst than adjourned.
