Mr. Davli then move < l that the senate In
sist on Itu amendment to the bouse reaolu-
Jlon and that the president ot the acnste
appoint Its'conferees. .
"Let that motion bo divided , " demanded
Mr. Danlpl of Virginia ,
, Fiom the democratic side ot the chamber
oiino euch cxprcrulons as "Wo don't want a
conference , " "Let's settle this question right
no A' , while wo are at It , " etc.
Mr. Halo ot .Malno salJ that he had never
Jcnown In his long expcrlcnco In the tenate
.when the two hovjca were at ode's a com-
tnltteo of conference to bo refused.
\ .Conferees were appointed that the differ
ence * between the two houses might ba dis
solved and an agreement reached satisfac
tory to both without Inflammatory speeches
on the floor of cither branch. Mo main
tained that It wal the duty of the senate to
appoint conferees to assemble In solemn con
clave In an endeavor to adjust the dllter-
cnctB between tbo two branches ct congress.
DRAGOONING MEMBERS.
After briefly dlscustlng the parliamentary
status of the resolutions. Mr. Halo wM
there was an evIJent determination here
In the scroto on the part of the temporary
majority to dragoon everybody Into Its way
of thhiklnir. The nrono ltlon for a confer
ence was to be voted down , hn declared , and
those In temporary majority who have been
dom'imllne Immediate action will have to
tike thn responsibility for any delay th.it
tnlirht occur.
Ho believed the stern arbitrament of war
would noon be upon u . While the tempo
rary majority hero could now control the
situation , the whole country would under-
Bland that that majority was preventing
ile-flnlte action on the Question at Issue ,
Blmply by standing out fur the recognition
of the IndcDcndcncc ot thu Cubin republic ,
a recognition which all the great lawyers
of ttio cenate , Including Mr. Mrgan , had
ccnalitontly and ably opposed.
"We are In fa\or of speedy action , " dc-
c'j red Mr. Hale , "because v > t > believe that
the time for action haa now corns , and we
are prepared to submit the question of differ
ence tctwecn the two housed to confer
ences. "
Without division the first part ot Mr.
Davis' motion , Insisting on the senile
amendments , was pao. < ed.
Mr. Aldrlch ( R. I. ) , briefly ndjrerslng the
senate , said he had never known during
bis service In the senate such a course
as w < prcpcaed by the majority to le In-
a'atcil upon , > ind he thought Ide senator. . )
In ta\OT of that course ought to give some
reason for the position they had taken.
It was perfectly evident. Mr. Aldrlrh said ,
tbat the majority dcalrcd no action at all.
In reply Mr. Jones ( Ark. ) maintained thnt
it was the lart of the tiouso to request tint
a conference committee be appointed and
thus far the house bid not asked for a con
ference.
REFUSE A CONFERENCE.
The second part of Me. Davis' motion , di
recting the vice president to appoint ttie con-
feicc' ! , was then defeated , 34 to 43 , the de

was then resumed , Mr. Oalllngcr's amend
ment relating to the use ot tbc steam
l > rreaea in the bureau of engraving and
printing being acreed to.
ALLEN REFERS TO BRYAN.
During the discussion of the civil bill Mr.
Allen took the floor to say Mr. Hale had
been mistaken when on last Saturday ha
said the change of front on the part of cer
tain senators on the Cuban question had
been due to tr > o presence In the city of W.
J. Dryan. He bad Interviews read with Mr.
Bryan to show that Mr. Dryan had supported
all the movements made looking to the ad
vancement of tbo American cause in the
Cuban situation.
. * .n amendment waa screed to providing
tl-a' the commissioners to the Paris exposi
tion should be of , more than one party ; ap
propriating $50,000 fcr. a building ultn at
\Butto. Mont. , and 150,000 for a site at Fort
Mradc.
V.'hllc tbe bill was still pending the clerk
ot the house of representatives had entered
tbe chamber and was awnltlni ? recognition ,
The clerk presented to the senate the house's
notification that the house had Insisted on
Its amendments , and asked for a conference.
The message was at once laid before the
senate.
Mr. Davis moved that the senate dlEugreo
to the house amendments , and the request
for a conference be agreed to , and that the
vice president appoint tbc conferees.
Mr. Allen asked for a division on the
question , and the conference asked for was
granted. There. ' was some discussion about
the conferee ? , tbe senators favoring free
Cuba saying the majrlty ought to be rep
resented on the conference committee.
MWBK. Allen , Hoar. White. Thurston ,
Teller , Stewart and I'asco discussed the par
liamentary precedents.

that I should be one of the conferees on the

fer that ho should do so. I want some ac
tion to bo taken , I will not i-peak longer at
this time , because I have some anxiety to
hoar the guts. "
PHYB FOR PROMPT ACTION.
Mr. lrye of Mlne said : "I am ogalnat
the present recognition of the alleged re
public of Cuba. I believe that such recog
nition belongs to the president of the United
States , * and not to congress , and I believe
that In my place aome senator on the foreign
relations committee ought to bo appointed
who holds vlona diametrically opposite to
me. The senator of Ohio ( Air. Foraker ) Is
the father of this proposition to recognize
Iho Cuban republic now , and I trust that the
vice president will appoint him.
"I have been silent all through this dis
cussion because I wanted action ; now for
God's oako let ua do something to relieve
thos& poor people In Cuba.
"Every American corsul and every Ameri
can citizen has left the Island. The Red
Cross haa bc'civremoved , and hca come north.
Every hour Is freighted with the death of
women and children , and we should not delay
our action a minute. I believe that If we
act now , within tun days Cuba will be free ,
provisions will be there for the starving and
If net cur eun will be thundering at Moro
castlu. "
Mr. Lindsay made a strong appeal for the
recognition of the Independence of the Island
republic.
The first note of compromise was then
Bounded by Mr. Teller. He said that It was
apparent that If a vote were taken now the
senate would change 'the portion It took laat
Saturday night and thlo afternoon , and sug-
gewted that we might ca well settle the mat
ter at once.
Mr. Foral'er t-uggcated that the whole
question could be disposed of before ad
journment tonight If the conferees on the
part of the fenate were appointed at once.
Ho had recel\ < l a&suranccu that there would
bo no great difficulty In reashlng a satisfac
tory conclusion.
M.- . Teller said that ut a later day ho
proposed to ant-wcr some of the offeralve
utterances of the senator from Maine CMr.

Mr. Tillman of South Carolina , addressing
Mr. Spooner by name , demanded to know
If ho could give him aasutances that the ad-
minlD.ratlon would not saddle the Spanish
bonij upon the Cubans.
SPOOLER ANSWERS VIGOROUSLY.
The question , put In a direct manner
aroused tlo ( Wisconsin senator. He rose from
tola i swt on the oppoalte sldo of the chamber.
and wa king over to within a few feet o
Mr. Tlllman , said :
"I c'wllenze the decency of the senator
from South Carolina In putting such an In
terrogatory to me by name. I want to say
now that the suggestion to ba sent out from
here , in such an exigency as , now confronts
this country. Is little lees than a slander
upon the president of the United States "
"I am pretty thick skinned. Mr. Prcal-
dent , " reclled Mr , Tlllman. . "if i can ac-
C5 > ? ltah my Purpcee In preventing the poa-
slblllty of fastening this debt upon those
peonle I shall be satisfied to take all the
odium that may attach to Itj"
Mr. Allen then withdrew his substitute
motion , and the motion' made by Mr. Davis
that the vice president should appoint the
, conferees was agreed to without division.
I The vlco president appointed as conferees
on the part of the senate i r. Davis , Mr.
Foraker and Mr. Morgan. *
The senate then took a recess until 8
ocloc ! : .
Mr. Chandler at 8 o'clock , upon the re
convening of the senate , suggested the ub-
, sence of a quorum , and the roll being called
, fifty senstcre ccswered to their names.

Secretary Long , was very apxlous-to , avail

the creation of the new fleet solves the diffi

WASHINGTON , April 18. Immediately
upon the- house convening at 10 o'clock thUs
morning , In accordance with the recess taken
Saturday morning , Mr. Dlngley , the repub
lican floor leader , moved an adjournment ,
which motion was carried.
The house adjourned for tbe reason that
no mea-agc could be received from the aenata
until that body was In session. The feeling
was very Intense among some ot thp repub
licans and there was every Indication of a
bitter and determined contest. The repub
licans who desire to concur asserted that
they have enough Votes to carry the motion
and the republican leaders were equally con'
ftdent of non-concurrence.
After adjournment the republican leaders
who had mapped out the program of rejectIng -
Ing the clauc * of tbe senate resolutions
providing tor the recognition of the In
dependence ) of the orcsoat republic , continued
laboring with thaso of their colleague * who
still obstinately refused to acquiesce. The
oppceltlon on the republican side , though
email , was resolute. The juncture ot thl.J
band of "Insurgents , " aathey / were called ,
with the democrats for the acceptance of
the senate resolutions might defeat the
program. The republican leaders , however ,
confidently asserted that the defection would
not bo strong enough to succeed. Still , both
sides realized tbat the result waft In doubt
and the two hours' breathing t > pe\l \ obtained
by the fortunate parliamentary situation
which compelled an adjournment until the
senate met were utilized In hard work on
both sides.
The speaker summoned hla lieutenants to
hta room In the lobby In the rear of the
ball , and the situation was earnestly dis
cussed. Every republican who waa likely to
break over the traces WMS surrounded by a
crowd of hla colleagues and besieged with
arguments and reasons why he could not be
justified in joining the opposition , at this
critical Juncture. Hut , headed by Messrs.
Lorimer and .Malm of Illinois , and Brom-
well of Clilo , most of them refused to bo
persuaded. The democrats and popullcts
were a unit for the adoption of the senate
resolutions , and Mr. Bailey , the democratic
leader , held several consultations with the
"Insurgent" chiefs. Everything at 10:30 :
o'clock portended an exciting seoiion.
SOME LIVELY WORK.
The republicans of several state delega
tions , among others those ot Pennsyl
vania and Illinois , caucused. In these
delegations the sentiment for concurrence
in the senate -amendments was strong. W.
A. Stone of Pennsylvania , joined Messrs.
Robblns and Acaeaco , and the last named ,
It Is said , wo.-rover Mr. Young ot Philadel
phia. In the ! IlKrola delegation Messrs.
Lorimer and Mann were the leaders. Sev
eral senators1 * ere'nn the floor , among them
Senator Burrows of Michigan , appealing to
their colleagues ot the house to stand by
the president ! ) ' 'Tlte scene on the floor re
sembled a political convention more than
the house of Bredrescntatlvcs. > Members
were rcurrylngi.about , caucusing In grouts
and discussing the situation. The uncer
tainty of theo lasuowas admitted on all
hands , thouginrthaj advantage possessed by
the rcpubllbau'ilDadeia 1-ft deciding to present
ta motion Wtcracilo Hflth an amendment , to
strike out'the , provlshm tor the recognition
of tho' ' exUtlmp gdvernmenL In Cuba waa
conceded. ' Tit * strategic advantage In cam- '
Celling the first vote to be taken upon their
own proposition ) measurably strengthened
their , position. i
General Qrosvenor , < jf Ohio said at 11:45
that .he considered there waa grave doubt
u.i to the result of the vote. He ntlll hopes
that ittae motion to concur with amendment
ivlll prevail * but he aays > the fssuo is In
doubt.
Shortly before 12 o'clock Senator Hanoa.
appeared on the floor ot the'house and had a
consultationwith General Groaveaor of Ohio.
'
The latter informed the Ohio eeaator' that
be considered tbe action of the house very
doubttul.
As the hands ot the clock pointed to noon
the speaker ascended tbe rostrum and with
ono reeouadlng whack ot his gavel silenced
the confuslca on the floor and the bum of
conversation In the crowded galle'rlea. It
was an Imtxecdlvo scene as tbe members
listened wltb bowed beads to tbe solemn
Invocation ot the blind chaplain. No aconer
had the chaplain ceased , however , before
the confusion was redoubled os the members
labored during the last tew precious moment * .
The reading of tbe journal ha-1 not been
concluded before the clerk of the senate an
nounced the passage of the bouse Cuban
resolutions with eenato amendments. In
stantly the galleries were all attention and
too leaders watched each other with latent ,
alert features. The , first move WES Impor
tant. As the resolutions were read the
declaration wltb regard to tbe recognition ot
the Independence ol Cuba waa vociferously
cheered by the democrats. Thta demonstra
tion waa repeated when tbo reeding was con
cluded.
DINGLEY 13 RECOGNIZED.
Botb Mr. Dlngley , fue floor loader of the
republlcars , 'trad ' Mr. Bailey , the democratic
loader , were on ttielr feet. Mr. Dlngley was
lecognlzed by the speaker and Immediately
moved concurrence in the senate amendment
with an amr-ndment striking out the clause
In tbe first resolution which recognized the
Independence ct the existing republic. The
actual form of the motion , which was reduced
to writing , was as follows :
I move to concur In the senate amendment
to the house Jointlesolutlon with an amend
ment striking out In the , first paragraph
the word "ure" nml also the words "anil

Upon his motion Mrt Dlngley demanded

NOT ENQUGH BOLTERS.
Mr. Sulzer ( dem , N. Y. ) attempted to Inter
pose with the point ot order that Mr. Brom- ,
well * * motion took precedence over tbat of ,
Mr. Dlngley. He bad a copy of the rule * In
hla hand and was prepared to argue the quea-
tlca , but the speaker unceremoniously de
clined to bear him. ' No division was asked
on the motion for tbo previous question , but
upu tbe tnaln qncutlon a chorus of demand *
from both eldra went up for the ayra and
cays. The roll call waa watched wltb Intense
Interest. The democrat * started In to ap

the promised detection ot over twenty-five
members ca * tbe republican side did not ma
terialize. The democrat * ofaly bad fourteen
opportunities to applaud. It as apparent
before the end of the first roll call that they
were defeated. Their disappointment waa
icanlfrct on their faced , while tbe counte
nanced of the republlcana were correspond
ingly Joyful over tht victory.

Mr. Sherman ( rep. . N. Y. ) , who had been
oele-cted as a referc * In tba controversy be
tween Messrs. Carttett ( dem. . Ga. ) . and
Brumm ( rep. , Pa. ) , over the eentutlonal per
sonal encounter ot last Wednesday , then read
a statement to which both had subscribed.
The "apology to the bouse waa made througb
Mr.Sherman , who stated that tbo matter
bad been adjusted satisfactorily to both gen
tlemen ; and that both bad apologized. Thlt
honorable settlement ot the difficulty , which
bad been the subject of comment among the
members for peveral days , was received with
general expressions ot approval. The house
then quieted down and proceeded under the
call of committees to tba consideration of
minor matters.
After It became nolced about on the house
sldo tbat the senate bad nonconcured with
out a request for conference , tbo leaders held
hasty consultations and tbe galleries ailed
rapidly.
At 3:40 : p. m. the resolutions were returned
to the house wltb tbe aenatc'j decision to
nonconcur.
Mr. Dlngley , ( Mr. Bailey and Mr. Brom
well ( rep. ) ot Ohio were all on taelr feet
asking for recognition. Tbe speaker recog
nized Mr. Dlngley , who moved that the
house. Insist on Ita amendment , and asked
for a conference. Upon hto motion he de
manded the previous question.
( Mr. Bailey , aa a preliminary inquiry , de
sired to know of the chair whether a motion
to recede and concur would cot take pref
erence.
Tha speaker paid ho thought not.
Mr. Bailey -cited a precedent from the
Twenty-ninth congress , which be eald cov
ered the exact ce e In point.
The speaker asked to BOO It. The mem
bers waited with breathleua Intercut while
the speaker examined It. When he decided
It would hold , the democrats i-ppliuded.
The speaker then recognb.ua Mr. Bromwell ,
who made the motion to rccedo and concur ,
Thla time the democrats cheered , , and tbo
galleries Joined In the demonstration.
As the previous question cut oft debate , the
speaker ordered the roll called. Tbe vote
came so unexpectedly that the leaders ot
the respective sides rent messengers and
oftlclala scurrying In all directions to dn\u
In absentees. Carriages were sent clattering
to the down town hocel at a gallop , and
committee rooms , rcstaurunts ami every
likely place where a stray congressman
might bo routed out , were visited by the
paged and employes of the bouse. It was
like a roll call to arms.
The responses on the roll call wore fol
lowed clos ly for further defections from the
republican side , but tdero were no acquisi
tions. In fact two of tbe republicans who
voted against the motlco to concur with an
amendment on the last vote , Messrs. John
son ( Ind. ) and Loud ( Cat. ) , voted with the
republlcana. They did not , however , prop-
crjy belong to the detection on the other
yote , as tbey voted aa they did because they
oppose any ; action whatever.
REPUBLICANS OIIECR.
The announcement ot tbe defeat , ot tbe mo
tion , ' 148 173 , was tbe signal for another
demonstration on the republican aide.

Brown ( O. ) , Colson ( Ky. ) , Caoper ( Wls. ) . Dorr
( W. Va. ) , Jcbnson ( N. D. ) and Sulloway
( N. H. ) .
Mr. Dlngley's motion to Insist cod ask for
a conference was then agreed to without d- (
vMlcn' tbe opposition realizing tbe manifest
useleMners ot demanding a roll call.
Juat before 6 o'clock tbo apeaker.ancowiced
the appointment ot Messrs. Adams ( rep. , Pa. ) ,
Hratwole ( rep. , Mlna. ) and Dlnsmore ( deni. .
Ark. ) as conferees en the'Cuban resolutions.
Mr. Qrosvenor then moved to adjourn , but
Mr. Cannon called attention to tne fact that
the bouse would have to await tbe action
of ( be scnato before the resolutions wou'.d
legally be In conference. He thought the
huae should remain In session.
Mr. Orosvenor theo withdrew tbe motion
and on Mr. Cannon's motion tbe bouse re-
ccwed for twenty minute * .
At 5:30 : p. m. a further rccmu of fifteen
minutes was taken. Tb * bouse took another
receco until ' 6 o'clock and at Uiat bour re-
ceriird until 8 o'clock.
Mr. Adams had a long conference with the
speaker at his desk. Half a dozen ot the
leaders crowded about and took part In the
consultation. A question groue ae to whether
the bouse , having asked for tbe conference ,
waa entitled to bavo charger ot the papers or
not , and to settle thla question Captain Mo
Kiw , the journal clerk , paid a visit to ( ho
other end of the capital.
Whllo the house was awaiting ; A half hun
dred of Ui teprtnentatlvrs gathered In the
lobby In Iho rear and awoke the echociH.vlth
patriotic tonga The "llattlo Hymn ct the
Republic" was sung by Colonel Henderson oi

HOUSE RKCON.VENK3.
The house reconvened at 8 o'clock , The
members were Jubilant over the nens which
floated about tbat the conferees lind agreed ,
the aenato to yield ci tbo Independence
clatwe and the house agreeing to restore the
words "are and" In the flrnt section , but
suddenly the greatest confusion arose when
It was discovered th-it there Was still hitch
over the words "are and , " tbe two repub
licans of tbc houao conferees , Messrs. Adams
and Hoitwolo. having refuacd to yield on this
point.
Several of the members ot the hou o were
In their dress sulta and In the galleries were
many brilliant ovenlni ; toatumrn.
Nothing was done- until 8:45 : p. m. , when
the clerk ot the senate announced tbo dis
agreement ot the senate to the house amend
ment and tbc appointment ot conferees.
"Dixie " and other ncngs Ufcrc led by some
of tlio ex-confederate * and then In tremendous
deus volume the corrldcrs rang with an Im
provisation , "Hang General Woyler on the
Sour Apple Tree , as We Go Marcblng On. "
The war spirit was reflected In the conga.
Soldiers blvouaclog about tbe camp firm In
the enemy's treat could not have been more
enthusiastic thin were m&ny ot tbc grizzled
veterans who participated.
The etrugg'.e which \\RS going on wes one
to fccure parliamentary advantage. The
house , which hndi pease-salon of the confer
ence papers , could at any time rredo and
agree. It was ( hU desire t hold tbo pa
pers which induced the ( senate to refuse , thui
compelling the house to further kis'at and
sk for further conference. Agreement to
this 'would give the aenato possession of
the papers.
A general ccnferen-ce ot the lead em was
held at the speaker's desk , after the cte-mtc
had voted 39 to 40 , Mr. DalzaU and mait of
the leaders voting to further ln Ut , but Air.

of cue senator to bold up the acnate.
At 0:35 : the house was notified ot the sen
ate's action la further Ina'atence.
Mr. Adams , sa socci cs the report ot dis
agreement had besn reaij , moved that the
house still further InsUt on Its amendments
and request a further conference ,
Agn'in Mr. Bromwell moved that ( be bouoe
recede from Ha dl-iagrecment and concur In
the senate's amendments.
The republicans who were voting with the
opposition lost the vote ot Mr. Coope-r
( Ws. ! ) oh th'a ' roll call. He voted "no"
with the administration republicans. The
other eleven republlcana voted to recede
and concur. The motion was leal , 144 to
177.
Secretary Alger , who entered the hall ar-
raved to a dreos suit , .while the vote wen
ibclng recapitulated , Joined In the republican
demonstration of approval when the result
was announced.
Mr. Adams' motlri was then agreed to
'Without division. The speaker again ap-
polnteJ 'Messrs. ' Adams , Dlnsmore and Heat-
wole conferees.
Mr. Adams -moved a recess until 11 o'clock.
iMr. Johnson ( rep. , Ind. ) antagonized thla

son. ( rep. , Ind ) appealed for a few mlnutea'
time.

An old man , tall , with white Grcelcys , and

When the train < lrqw out of Holiday the

Harper's Weekly : Few persons who ar *

really strong Individuality In foreign va
rieties of their favorite flower.
The "Qlolre do Dijon" dates from 1831.
Tne "General Jacqueminot" was offered to
the public In J859. The "Marechal Nlel"
( which beautiful rose seems lately unjustly
out of vogue ) was perfected In 1SC4. "La ,
Franco" came In 1SSS. The "Madame Isaac-
Perolre" Is of 1880. "La Relne" Is almost
the oldest of the hybrids still beloved , hav
ing made Its success In 1843.
The new and assumed varieties now put
forth annually still reach t'ne number of
seventy or eighty. But the majority of
them have no decisive characteristics to
enable them to hold their own against
others. The "American Beauty" and
"Catherine Alermet" are t'no most signifi
cant additions within a few seasons to the
general catalogue , and not yet In universal
