MICHIGAN CITY HARBOR.
Mr. MAGEE offered a joint resolution [S. -] favoring the improvement of the harbor at Michigan City, Laporte County, requesting Representatives and instructing Senators in Congress from Indiana to favor such an appropriation.
Mr. YANCEY hoped the resolution would not be adopted. He was satisfied the Secretary of War would recommend such work if he were not convinced t was in the nature of a grab. Mr. Y desired to join the other side of the Chamber in economical measures, not only in State, but elsewhere.
Mr. BUNDY moved to refer the resolution to the Committee on Federal Relations.
Mr. MAGEE interposed to objection, thinking it a matter of great importance. He introduced the resolution in good faith. The money has been appropriated, but the Secretary of War refuses to allow its expenditure on the only port in the State of Indiana.
The motion to refer was agreed to.
