Arnos Beckwiih, assistant commissary general, stationed at St. Louis, to proceed at unce to Cincinnati, where he will have general chartre of the distribution of supplies.

He will establish headquarters at Cincinnati and act directly under orders from the Secretary of War. The plan ot distributing supplies will be similar to that which proved satisfactory at the time of tho Mississippi tlood.

An army ofllcer will be sent with each boat to see to the proper distribution ot the supplies. uuitiNu ucui uiucrpfi rouromcere rrom Columbus barracks, Ohio, to Cincinnati to assist In i the distribution of supplies to the sufferers iroin the 1 llijtxl, under the directum of Heckwlth.

A resolution de- nounclng the democratic Congressmen for having passed the Fltz John Porter bill and urging Sena- tors Logan and cullom to fight It in the Senate was also adopted. The preponderance of sentiment among those present from country districts appeared to be In favor ot Senator Logan for President, with a strong opposition from Chicago. The British administration house of lords, on motion of the Marquis of Sails- bury, voted to censure the government for Its vacillating policy on the Egyptian troubles. The vote stood 181 to 81. In the house of commons Sir Stafford Korilicote made a similar motion which was debated up to the hour of adjournment.

Rale, from the committee on naval affaire, reported unfavorably, and moved the Indefinite postponement of, the joint resolution Introduced by Mr. McPherson, limiting the amount of money to be expended by the President on the Ureely relief expedition to $500,000. Mr. McPherson stated that he had Information from responsible fversons to the effect that $500,000 would be amply sufficient to cover all expenses of the expedition, and this was as good a time as any to have the question Involved brought to a decision. Mr.

Hale said the matter had been disposed of, and well disposed of alreadr, by the Senate, and he hoped this Joint resolution would at once be indefinitely postponed. The Joint resolution was indefinitely postponed by a vote of 2v yeas to 26 nays. N. P. KAfl.KOAD LANDS.

Mr. Warner (Ohio), rising to a question of privilege, said he understood that the Joint resolution passed by lie House and Senate on Monday, for the relief nf the sufferers bv the Ohio floods, was not sent to the Senate for the signature of the presiding ofllcer until late yesterday afternoon. He wished to know the cause of the delay, and therefore offered a resolution directing the committee on enrolled bills to luoutre into the cause of the delay. The SjK'aker said that he did not think that the resolution presented a question of privilege, as there was no allegation that any oflicer of the House had failed to perform his duty. He would, however, submit the matter to the House If there was no objection.

Mr. Cosgrove (Mo.) hoped that the committee would also Inquire why the House had debated the resolution for an entire day, when It could have been in ten minutes.

The House then proceeded to the consideration jf the Mississippi contested election case or Chalmers against Manning. Mr. Turner chairman of the committee on Sections, spoke in support of the majority report, which declares that on a prima facie ease neither the contestants was entitled to the seat. Neither the majority nor minority report is signed. Out Mr.

Turner stated that ten of the members or the elections committee were in favor of theJIormer, while only five supported the Latter. Mr. Elliott (Pa.) spoke in favor of the minority report, which declares Manning entitled to the seat on prima facie right. Mr. Curtln (Pa.) offerred a resolution committing to the committee on elections the question of the ltrivia facie, right to a seat with Instructions to a.s:ertaln and report whether a certificate of election was issued by the governor of Mississippi to any and if so, to whom.

District In IN FAVOR OF A FKMAt.B WARDEN AT THIS jaiL. In the Senate to-day Mr. Pike submitted the report from the District committee on the petition for luthorlty to appoint a female warden at the jail.

As published in The Star several days the committee report that no additional legislation is necessary, as the law vesta the power or appointment or "subordinates at the Jail in the warden and justice or the Supreme Court. The committee express the opinion that there ought to be a female jniployed at the They say: "While the committee would not at present recommend any legislation In the premises, they are unanimously ot the opinion that an ordinary regard for the proprieties A life demand that such appointment (a teinale warden) be made." THK ROUTE OF B. O. RAILROAD. A conference between the officials of the Baltl more Ohio railroad company and the sub-committee of the Senate District commit tee on railroads was held this morning with reference to the proposed change of route ot the railroad on entering the city, and change of locatton of the depot, rhe whole matter was talked over, but no conclusion was reached.

Capitol Topics. rilH FIGHT OVER FORFEITED RAILROAD LAND GRANTS. The various railroad companies Interested In land grants, for the forfeiture of which bills are pending, seem to have abandoned any Idea of stemming the tide of sentiment against them In the House, but they hope ro accomplish something in the Senate. The representatives of the rallrmds that the Senate Is a more temperate body than the House and proceeds more judicially In disposing of Important matters. They will make their tight before the Senate, and It Is Intimated that If they rail there the validity forfeiture legislation will be tested in the courts.

A CLOSB VOTE IN THE SENATE. In the Senate to-day Mr. Hale moved to indefinitely postpone the Senate bill for the relief of the Sreely expedition, the Bouse bill for that purpose having passed both houses. As the Senate bill limited the appropriation to Mr. McPherson opposed the motion, saying he wanted an expression of the Senate on the policy of limiting the appropriation.

The motion of Mr. Hale prevailed by a vote of 527 to 26, Messrs. Ingalls, Van Wyck and 9ewell, republicans, voting against It and Messrs. Pendleton, Vance, Jones, ot Florida, and Butler, democrats, voting for It. INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

The House commlttae on commerce yesterday took several test votes on questions arising in connection with legislation regulating interstate commerce, the result of which go to show the character of legislation to be recommended. By a vote of 14 to 1 It was decided to frame and report a bill, and by the same vote It wm? decided that the measure shall embrace remedial Is, lhat it shall provide a remedy for the trasportatlon evils complained of by the people, in that it will prohibit extortionate rates ot charges by railroads and unjust discriminations. By a vote of 9 to It was decided taut the proposed legislation shall be enforced by a commission, to be created by the bill for that purpose. It was also agreed, 18 against 2, that no legislation relating to transportation by water is necessary. The committee held that the water-ways of the country are open to all who choose to ply them In the way of trade, and that therefore competition will regulate the charges upon vessels; that the transportation business on water-ways cannot become a monopoly.

The Indications are that the committee will report a moderate bill, aiming to prevent monopolies from grinding the people, ana at the same ume having a due regard for all the legal rights and privileges of corporations. CONFIRMATIONS BT THE SENATE. The Senate in executive session yesterday confirmed the following nominations: John M. Langston, minister resident and consul general to Haytl, to be also charge d'affalra to Santo Dcmlngo Henry P.

It also authorizes the President to direct the construction of one steel i ram. as recommended by the naval advisory board 011881; also, one cruising torpedo boat and two harbor torpedo boats, as recommended by the first advisory board.

The committee recommend that no i more time be lost In building new ships, as unless something Is done to provide vessels the government will be practically without a navy. Sew vessels of modern construction. It Is added, can Ik? built cheaper than the old wooden vessels can be kept in repair. NATAL APPROPRIATION BILL 4 was under discussion In the House yesterday after- noon. Mr.

Calkins criticised the bill quite severely as being very insufficient In Its provisions. He ob- Jected to the clause with relation to promotions In tlie various grades In the line and s-tnfr. He thought the appropriation for the bureau of navigation was Insufficient, and should be increased from to fl00.000. He spoke at length upon the inefficiency ot our navy an criticised the of the committee in not providing for the ordnance outfit of the new cruisers. The consideration ot the bill was not concluded.

Kisnn KOTRS. Mr. Cosgrnve's substitute for Mr. Youngs resolu- tlon, authorizing a congressional committee to go to Hot Springs to Investigate certain allegedlrregu- i larKles (which substitute was published lu yesterday's Stak), parsed the House yesterday. Mr.

The suspension ot coinage la to last tor two years. A bill was reported In the House yesterday to authorize the extension of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad to a point on the government property at Fortress Monroe. The sub-committee of the Senate committee on privileges and elections charged with the investigation of the Danville election riot will sit with open doors, beginning at ten o'clock to-morrow morning.
