The Committee on Naval Affairs of the Senate has made a favorable report on the bill remitting the penalties, amount ing to $39,000, on the Vesuvius assessed against the Cramps, the builders of the vessel. The Senate Committee on Territories has authorized a favorable report upon the bill introduced by Carey, defining and changing the boundary line of the Yellowstone National Park, and also upon the hill providing for the punish ment of offenses committed in the park. The bill places the park within the ju risdiction of the United States District Court of Wyoming. Judge Jenkins of the United States Court in reply to the notification of the Congressional committee to investigate the Northern Pacific injunction says, if the intention is merely to consider the leg al correctness of his order, he does not care to appear before the committee; but, if his personal or official integrity is to be taken into account, be will meet and refute the charges.

Only three amend- : ments of importance were adopted : Ap propriating $411,500 for lighting Hay Lake channel; $04,000 for a public building at Buffalo ami $00,000 for repairing the postoffice of New York. The only other amendment of importance offered was one by Morse of Massachusetts to cut off the appropriation for the Interstate Com merce Commission. The manner in which the portion of the appropriation for counsel fees was worded led to a spirited debate, in which Cannon of Il linois broadly intimate«.! this appropria tion had been placed under the direction of a commission, instead of the Depart ment of J ustice as heretofore, because of the criticism against Attorney-General Olney that he w u b in sympathy witli corporations.
