A member voted to fix a day who would have voted against the bill, and the majority against it Is therefore probably even larger than. indicated by yesterday's ▼ote. The vote stood 187 to 113.

Then the Western members voted0 generally for" it The Minnesota members voted solidly for consideration. the legislative appropriation bill. Mr. Holman reported the Legislative Ap- propriation bill to the House to-day. It ap- propriates $20,730,876. Last year's bill voted $20,648,086. The estimates this year were $21,675,502. The bill provides for a Second Assistant Secretary of the In- terior at $3,500 per annum, ten additional principal examiners in the pension office at $2,000 each, 150 special examiners in the pension office at $1,600 each, thirty-seven additional cterka in. the Sixth Auditor's and ten additional clerks in the Second Auditor's office.

The statement has been published that Senator Anthony would resign his seat in the Senate this week, or at least the week following. It is said that ill-health was the cause of the step contemplated by him, and that bis doctors had unanimously agreed that he can not perform the duties of the office except at the risk of tils life. The friends of the Senator here pronounce the state- ment as maliciously false, and say that it wasjgotteu up at the instance of some as- pirants for his seat in the Senate. / the president's portrait. The President gave a final sitting yester- day to Mr. Healy, the artist, who is paint- ing his portrait for the White House collec- tion. Mr. Healy goes to. Paris next week, and will take the painting with him to be completed there. The President is very well satisfied with the work. sknatk. In tho Senate yesterday, a "petition was presented by Mr. Blair, from the Committee o a Pensions, increasing the pensions to sol- diers who lost an arm or leg and for other dis- abilities contracted in the service. By Mr. Logan,ofrom the Committee on Judiciary, to limit the time within which prosecution can be entered against persons charged with vio- lating the Internal Revenue laws. Mr. Sherman, from the Committee on Library, ropoeted a concurrent resolution, which was agreed to, accepting a portrait in mo- saic of the late President Garlield, the work of Dr. Salviati, of Venice, Italy. Tho f()llowing°bills were reported favorably and placed on the oalendar: By Mr. Ingalls, from the Committee on Judiciary, a bill to establish another Judicial Gircuit,by dividing the eighth circuit, which now embraces the districts of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kan- sas, Arknansas and Colorado. The eight circuit, under this bill, would include the districts of Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas and Colorado; the new circuits would include the districts of Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri. » The Chair laid before the Senate the resolu- tion offered Thursday by Mr. Morgan, direct- ing the Committee on Finance to examine the cases of recent failures of National biinkS, and to ascertain whether such failures were due to violations and evasions of the law on the part of the officers or Birectors of the banks. Mr. Merrill moved to amend bv substituting, for the purpose of in- vestigation. the Comptroller of the Cur- rency for the Finance Committe. Mr. Morgan said the very reason why he moved to devolve the duty on the committee was because the oilicers appointed to see that the banks com- plied with theHaws had not performed their duty. Theresas, for instance, a law against over certification of checks whioh, it had become notorious, was utterly disregarded. On the passage of the law on the subject in July, 1883, the New York newspapers had broken out into spasms of merriment, and told Con- gress the banks laughed at the acts of Con- gress, and wepc beyond Congressional con- trol. The failure of the Marine Bank was due to the fact that the bank was con- nected with a firm of brokejrs; and that the bank had supported the nrm of Grant & Ward in all the wild schemes which the young speculators saw proper to engage in. A spectacle had been presented to the world that argued a painful condition of commer- cial honor in the city of New Tork. ° Mr. Morrill modified his motion by moving the reference of the resolution to the Finance Committee. Mr. 8herman supported the ref- erence. Though there might have been over- cei-tiflcation of checks in New York, the trou- ble had been caused by the speculations of the bank officers. The. proper remedy would be to prescribe severe penalties against any speculative' dealing by bank officers, or the use of the bank's money in any transaction such officers might engage in. He saw no special use for a Committee of Investiga- tion in New York. It would only keep up the agitation, and probably embarrass others. There had been no panic; the people of New York had not been alarmed, and confidence in standard securities had not suffered. The flurry had only cleared the atmosphere, and ho believed the presesent commercial position was better than before the trouble. Mr. Morgan criticised the action of the Secretary of the Treasury for his interference in the late trouble. The Government might^as well farm out Its credit to faro-dealers as allow National banks to farm out their credit to stock-gamblers and other speculators who bought and sold things without existence. Be feared lest those who had been wronged would remain unavenged.
