WASHINGTON , April tl. Three Impor-
.tant measures were passed by the senate thh ,
afternoon , all of which relate largely to the
national defence.
The sundry civil bill , wiilch no * been pend
ing for two weeks and wnlch carries a large
amount of mon -y Intended to be uwd in tbe
ttrtngtbe-ilng of tbe country's coast de
fenses. w t finally passed.
The naval appropriation bill -was Imme-
-dlattly taken up and practically completed ,
although pending tbe discussion of an amend-
m'TOt concerning the price of armor T > lcte the
bill was displaced In order that the measure
temporarily increasing the military estab
lishment of the TJnlted States in time of war
might be considered.
After a long discussion the bill-as amended
by tbe committee , wo * paused.
A Joint resolution was adopted giving the
preel&ent power to prevent the exportation
of coal and other war material.
Just nefore adjournment It boDame known
among necarors on she floor that Senator
\\ViIthall of Mississippi , who hae been ill lor
ccveral weeks , was dead. The formal an
nouncement of his death was not made , but
will be when the senate conreneu tomorrow.
Mr. Marrlll < Vt. ) secured the passage of a
bill to restore to citizenship of the United
State * Mrs. Nellie Grant SartorluB , daughter.
of the late President Grant. ,
Mr. Elldn * secured tbe passage of n joint
resolution directing the eea-etary ofwar to
nave a .purvey and estimate made lor the
improvement of the W rt Fork river. West
Virginia , by . syntem of losLf and dams.
Mr. Quay Introduced the following rwolu-
Uon :
That tbe president Is "Hereby authorized.
In his discretion , and with such limitations
and exceptions as shall seem to him t-i-
pedlent. to prohibit the export of "coal , or
other material used Inwar , from any nea-
7 > ort of tbe United States , until otherwise
ordered by congress.
DISCUSS PRIVATEERING.
When ttie sundry civil bill was lild before
the * enate. Its consideration being by agree
ment under tbe fne-mlnute rule. Mr. Money
( Miss. ) said he had noticed in a mornhig
paper the statement that the State depart
ment had annouaced there would , during the
approaching war , be no privateering by the
United States , and that this government
would -abide by tbe treaty of Paris made In
isr.n.
"I desire to ioqnlre. " eald he "whether
any member of the foreign relations com
mittee can inform the senate If tbe cn-
oouncement made in Use newspapers is
truer1
" 'I have beard nothing about the matter , "
responded Mr. Davis , chairman of the foreign
relations committee , "except what I' haw
sera ia the newspapers. " '
MT. Money , coatlnuiag , said that he could
not t > elieve the president had taken sucti ;
fiction.J1But " be eald.'n is well enough
that the powers deJegaled to the president
be clearly defined liere- and now. Tbe power
to issue letters of marque end reprisal be
longs exclusively to congress. "Neither the
United States nor Spain is signatory to the
treaty of Ptris : but -eerylhing relating
to the rights of neutral * , the United State *
has taken maei advanced grounds. It w.is.
because the United States took more ad
vanced grounds than -other cations In xfais
recard that the United States did not become
a forty to the Paris treaty. " ,
Mr. Hoar interrupted Mr. Msney to noi-e
that this was an inopportune time to dis
cuss tbe question , as the pc te had no
knowledge ttiat the president had eireadtid
his constitutional power.
"I deaire simply to cell ottentim lo the
facC' continued Mr. Money , "as It was my
duty * to do , that this proposition tennot be
tolerated by oongress. and I would suggest
to senators in the -confidence of tbe president
th-it ibeyenggett to him the situation In
* *
congress.
A eharp fight was made upon the two
amendment * of the committee to that sertinn
of ibe bill relating to the depredations on
public lands -and timber. The amrnflineats.
however , were finally agreed to.
Mr. Morgan secured the adoption ol an
amendment providing for the appropriation
of J35.000 for he maintenance of the channel
in Mobile harbor toy dredging.
The sundry civil bill as amended was then
passed.
NAVAL , "BILL. TAKEN UP.
The naval appropriation bill was laid be
fore the senate. The "Dill as It passed the
house carried JS8.01t.Oii9. AE It was re
ported to the senate It carries J4C.2J7.5S.
Pending the consideration of tb * Jiaval bill
Mr. Hewley. chairman of the military af
fairs committee , -called up tie resolution
Introduced Jew days ago , and relntroducid
today , relate E to -ejcportation of coal and
other war materials.
Alter BO amending tbe resolution cc too en
able the president mot only to lay , but to
raise the embargo. It was passed without
division.
The reading of the naval billl was tlien
resumed and completed - with the a.mesifl-
ment at 2 : 0 p. no.
An amendment was added by the commit
tee providing that the secretary of the navy
may -establish depots lor coal or other fuel
Jor war snips , and appropriating J250.000 Jorj
that purpose. J
Mr. Perkins California secured the dop-
tlcn of n amendment * pproi > riitlng J100.-000
for the construction of buildings destroyed
recently by earthquake at Mare Island navy
yard , California.
Several minor amendments -wore adopted.
As the bill -was about to puss the armor
matter was brought up and as It was likely
to lead to debate , Mr. Hawley brought up tie
volunteer army bllll , "which was considered
by unanimous corsent.
Some minor amendments were offered by
Mr. Hawley and .agteed to.
Mr. Bacon EUggRested that the 1111 be so
- amendedas to provide that no man in the
militia service thould be compelled to enlist
by tbe vet of tie company of which he is a
.member.
Mr. Hawley explained that nobody could
be forced to enlirt as a. volunteer in the terT-
Ice ol the United States , find there would be
no prartlral difficulty in carrying into effect
the provisions of the bill. He further - explained
plained that no member of a militia organi
sation could be forced to go out of the coun
try to perform service unless he should vol
unteer Jor such eervlcc. .
iMr. Pettus erplalnei that the matter sug
gested by Mr. Bacon -would be arranged by
tie eovia-nors of s tes. All of the militia
men would not. of course , volunteer for
service. No individual company or regiment
would be compelled-to enter the service , al
though the great body of them would ooubt-
lei * volunteer for the eemce.
Mr Faulk&er sold that the militia circan-
iraitlons-throughout tbecountry thoroughly
understood the matter , a * they had been in
oommunl-ation with the Tar department
concerning it. Every member of-the National
Guard undnc-toad that ne could nut be
forced to aikt in the United States nervioe ,
The bill , after an extended discusFion. wtz
paired.
CoaBiaeratlac of tbe naval appropriation
bill -wu then resumed , in ordcr < that certain
emendmeats might &e orered.
Mr. Butler proposed an amendment that
the government should pay no more than
{ 400 a ton lor armor plate , and appropriat
ing JSJiOD.OOa for an ainior plate factory ntij
{ 1.000.000 Jor the manufacture of armor platt
