Passage of a Bill for an Interna- tional Show: in New ‘ York. Agreement by tho Sonate Committeo to ‘Report the Army Approprins tion Unaltored. ‘The Northern Pacific Time for Com- pletion to Be Extended % Six Years, THE GENEVA AWARD. TILT BETWEEN CARPENTER AND BLAINE, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, ‘Wasninaton, D. C., April 10.—It proba- ably will be some days before anybody in the FSenate will again intimate that Senator Blaine Is nots lawyer, unless there should ¢be some one presumptnons enough to desire ‘to have what Senator Carpenter was pleased rto call todlay a “ttle dance with him? It ‘und been expected for some days that Blaine ‘would take somo notice of the jibes and rsncers which Carpenter, Thurman, and Bay- jard had indulged In with respect to Blaino's {position on tho Geneva award. Senator Car- ipenter on Friday and to-day, Ina speech in ‘which ho took ovcasion in alniost every paragraph to notify the Senate and + tho country that he is an attorney-at-law, had «assailed Senator Biaino’s position and cn- t deavored to make {t appear that the insur- Xance companies alone are entitled to tho re- nialnder of the Geneva award, ‘Tho argu- ment upon tho abstract merits of the ques- tia is not so Interesting tothe general render as wero the personal passages between theso two parliamentary orators, Senator Carpen- ter hed announced. that Binine In his discus- sion of the question had emancipated himself trom Jaw, justice, and truth, and, aa if Grant must betn everything, he concluded ils of- fort in behalf of tho insurance companies by EN ELANORATE EULOGY OF GRANT as the mam “first in war, first in peace, and girst in thehearts of his countrymen,” using the passage in one of Grant’s messages for his text. The audience of course understood that Carpanter’s very forced allusion to Grant was designed to embarrass Binine, who was to immediately follow him. Biaing was not to be embarrassed, as the sequel showed. Mr: Carpenter did not appear to enjoy good health, and Nis voice was feeble and at times inaudible in the galleries; but his argument sustained his reputation as an advocate and as a Senator looking at every- thing from a judicial standpoint, and manifesting, if he did not express it, a profound comtempt for non-professional men who discuss Jogul, questions, Io dis- played grent ingenuity and persunsive clo- quence In the presentation of his views, He had evidently studied his ¢ase carefully, but hedid not hesitate te make strone asser- tions take tha place of nuthoritics, and to base his arguments on these assertions, Tho entire spoech was peppered with cutting nilusions to Bialne, who: ant unmoved, occa slonally joining in the Inagh provoked at his expense. The Mnine Senator opened bya frank avowal that le was not 1 lawyer, that he had never been a Judge, juror, witness, or counsel; that ON THE 6fA OF LEGAL, ADVENTURE he was on exculpated cruiser, but in tha con- sideration of this question, and of othors he had been associated with, he had counsel ofmeneminent inlaw, whose legal shoo Jatchets Senator Carpenter was not worthy too unloose. Iie thon prepared to show that Mr. Carpenter, in many ways, seemed to bo holding somebody’s bricf, inasmuch as his present attitude on the Insurance question wasentircly difforent from tho position he held when ho was In tho Senate before, whon the Geneva award was up for: consideration. Bininc quoted the Record to show that, during tho perlod of cleven months, on six distinct —roll-calls, Carpenter took tho side of shiy*owners who paid heavy war premiums In every instance, and yoted not to give tho Insyrance men ona dollar; yet to-day he takes enctly the con- trary position, and intimates that any one who has respect for lw, truth, or justice must follow him, Senator Blaine very forcl- bly inquired whether tho Senate was to fol- low Senator Carpanter now, when ho speaks asalawyer forthe Insurance companics, or ‘was to follow him years ago, when he voted forthe right of the poor man to ashare in thisaward. With an intrpduction Ike this BLAINE’ POWERFUL ARNAIGNMENT of Carpentor’s position and his exposition of the want of merit of the claim of the In- insurance companies to theaward continued for twojhours, Mr. Carpenter's answer at the close of this arralanment was a boyish . Diea: “Ho began this little dance with me, andthe Sehator from Maine will nover be able to say to mo that ho has piped and I have not danced,” From here Carpenter followed Blaine, and the two had acolloyny about Grant and about the beginning of the personal quarrel between themselves, ‘The audience wns deeply Interested {n the whole procecdlngs, and several times ylelded to tha Irresistible impulse to applaud’or to laugh when one or, the other made a keen thrust. ‘Twice it was threatened to clear tha ay lerles, = Both Carpenter and Binine were in the best mood for showlng forth thelr peculiar powers a5 debaters, and, although very ditferentin their atyles they were on the whole very’ even! matched, and neither obtained such an a Yantage as was humiliating to the othor. Senators Thurman, Conkling, and Carpenter consulted together often, but Blalie made Dis fight alone, It was by farthe most enter- taining exhibition the Senate has given this Onl. Mr. Biaino seems noyer ato loss for an an- swer in debate, and, shrewdly aa his advor- sary arranges his points, the Maine Senator is ready to mevt thom. ‘The audience thought that Carpenter In his allusion to Grant in his quotation from one of the latter's mibasages had helped advance the Grant boom at Blaine's expense. Not 80; the latter had in his possession, in re- serve for n climax, a letter containing the admission of the I’realdent of one of the very insurance compaules whose interests ara at Stake, that President Grant had said to hin h t1n his opinion the Insurance companies Who had received war premiums lad no ginim to tie award, and with this admission r. Blaine turned Mr, Carpenter’s batteries Upon him, used Gen, Grant {n support of his Own cause, and showed that he would not yield to tha Senator from Wisconsin in his Tespect for the opinion or achievements of the Natlon’s great soldter, Senator Thurman, at the conclustonof the speeches of both Carpenter ana Blaine, votsed the sentiment of the Shamber, perhaps, when hesald: “tho Senators. hav!

Mr. Blaine had denied that the tribunal recognized their claims, and sneered at tho Iden of the Nation having been tho attorney of certain insurance companies.

Blaine as an opinion by Caleb Cushing MUST NE A FORGERY, as St was not in legal form, and directly con- tradicted Cushing's InnzunEo in a letter In the New York Journal of Commerce, dated Oct. 17, 1872, which Mr. Carpenter read, re~ elting that private claimants have an un- doubted right tothefund. Mr. Carpenter suid he had some interest in the reputation of Mr, Cushing. ‘Che Senator from Maine had facotiously asked him (Car- mter) if ha wanted an affidavit ag to Mr. Jushing’s signature to the document Mr, Carpenter had no prejudice ngainst affida- yits, though the Sonator from Malge seamed as much prejudiced against them as Falstaft was acalnst demands for security, [Hethore- fore sent to the Clerk's desk and had read an aftidavit of-J.

Idowt want to trouble you, aughter.] fr. Blaine expressed his desire to mako a statement'to go alongside of ‘the one just made by the Senator from Wisconsin; ‘hut Mr. Carpenter did not understand the office of an interruption to be to make a reply to anargument, ‘Che Senator had DETTER RESERVE HIS STATEMENT until he made his own speech, In further remarks Mr. Carpenter sald ho did not support that part of the bill which passed‘ claims for losses by the exculpated crulsers. If the money was to bo pnid to any one to whom it was not. awarded by tho tribunal, and was to bo charitably distributed, he wanted some of it himself, or wanted it to go to the poor women starving and shivering on the corner, rather than to shipowners, who got rich though they lostaship. But Mr, Carpenter would return tho surplus te Great Britain if any remained after all the Habitual claims wore pad. fa would do lt on tho same principle that he would not keep a $20 bill that a shopkeeper had handed him by mistake In making change, Afr, Carpenter saw no reason why the in- surance companies should not be pald for actual losses, though they had made moncy in other risks, After an argument on this point he went on to say that thesettlemont of disputes by arbitration was not likely to be the favorit proceeding among nations herc- after we vitinted’ the results of tho Geneva tribunal's labors by disregarding its Indications a3 to the distribution of award. lic rend Gen, Grant's messages to Congress oxpressing gratification at the results of tho arbitration, and said in conclusion he would not bring the lnnzunge of the Sonator from Maine in regard to tho tribunal and man- ‘ner in) which it porformed ita duties {nto pitiful contrast with tho eloquent and appreciative utterances of the man who has become the lover of peace from witness- Ing the horrors of war,—who is ready to award the mecd of praise to the faithful dis- eharge of official duties, having alwaya dis- chargod his own uprightlyy—the man who to-day and of this erperation {s "first in war, first In pence, and first In the heurts of his countrymenand mankind. [Applause In the galleries,] MI. BLAINE sald {f ho lind ever claimed to boa lawyer, the wit of denying that he was one would be keener. He proceeded to show that Mr, Carpenter had, when ho was in the Senate before, voted five or six times against tho payment of the insurance companies, The jenator now sought toexplain those votes by saying It was nota final exclusion, but Simply a postponement of the tunder- ‘writers’ claims, Mr, Blaine thought ‘this explanation very Inadequate In the face of the recorded votes, Jie thengstnted that the document read by him as Cushing’s opinion was such n bitter pill to the Senator from Wisconsin that he had gone out in the lobby and got an alvlavit from on attorney of the Insurance companies that it was not written by Mr, Cushing. Mr, Ward was the attor- ney of the Insurance compantes in the lob- bles of Congress, Ho would say no more on that point. Ho would simply Tead 9 letter froma lawyer of undoubted Integrity and National fain, Richard 8. Spofford, of New- buryport, Mass, Mr, Spofford had scon that the authenticlty of the documents had been questioned by Mr. Carpenter, and begged to state that this opinion was given partly at his instance and partly.on the request of soveral lending mereliants of Boston for his aubmission to the Judictary Com- inlttce of the House in the spring of 1873, when the guestion of the Geneva fund first came up for consideration, Froin thine to timo ft lias been reprinted by the frients and attornoys of the War-premluin interest in the form in which it now appears for clren- Jation In the two Houses, Tk “a subsequent evr, on invitation of the Judiciary Commite yo of the House, Mr. Cushing + APPEARED BEYOUK THEM PERSONALLY to give lls views in full, entering into tho details of the arbitration, reiterating on those oceasions the sane views as to the War-pro- inlum claina contained Inthe printed brief, It will thus bo soen that there is no doubt whuteyor of the authenticity of the paper in question, or of the attitnde which Mr, Cush- held toward the issue now pending, - Mr. Blaine then again real the briet re- ferred to,and subinitted that {¢ established the fact thw in Cushing's opinion, the award. was National, and that subrogation was not contemplated in this connection, Mr. Blaing held that the Government had ne var porinttted Itself to be subrogated oa an grdinary party to a suit,. He read from de elstons ‘of the Second Controller of the ‘Treasury, showing thig fact. Mr. Binine said tho amendment proposed by Mr. Eaton, to turn the money Into the Slnking-Fund. for paying the Natfonal debt. seemed to be thé worst proposition that could peseitly be made. We had suffered much tho” world's esteem, “because Jt had been whiapered everywhero tont, e iz ob tained $15,600,000 from Englant, We could notfind any sufferers to give litte. Let us pass the hat around In Europe for alms, but, not send the United States into a great Inter- national tribunal, and, after obtaining their Judgmont, acknowledge to the world that it ‘was got under false pretenses, Ar, Carpenter PXVPLAINED 18 VOTES In 1874 apalhist the Insurance companies by saylng syns. known thon that proposition would kill the bill, and even the friends of the Insurance companies voted ngninst tt, be- enuse they wero alse friends of those whose Nghts were not disptted, and thought ft was. wrong to longer delay thelr claims, ‘The discussion subsequently took the form of personalities between Messrs. Carpenter and Binine, the former saying that the Senator from Maine had “commenced this dance” between them by erillcising him for being a Jawyer and requiring the authentication of what was read to the Sonate. ‘The Senator might continue the amusement as Jong as he Pleased, or atop whenorer he chose, but xo long ashe kept it up he (Carpenter) would not retire. ft could never be sat, In tho Senate or outside of I, that the Senator had piped to him and he had not danced, (Laughter) a Mr, Blaine sald lie was not so fond of sec. ing the steps of the Senator from Wisconsin that he would pipe long to call him out. The Senator was making a mountain of a mole. hill, and showing a remarkably thin skin for a lawyer who liad so many coniiets at the Bar, He asked the Senator whether, after Spofford’s letter had been’ read, he still chose t refer to Cushing's brief as a forgery? Mr. Carpenter still thonght it n forgery. The Senator from Maine liad set him AN EXAMPLE OF INCHEDULITY by refusing to believe his word because he wasn lawyor for the Insurance companies, and, to disprove Mr. Ward, hail read_n letter which Mr. Carpenter understoad to be from f gentleynan Jn the Interest of the war-pre- mium men. Was that so? Mr. Blaine said it was so. Mr. Carpenter said the Senate had one in- terested man ngainst another interested man on a question of fact, and thatled himto form his own Jndginent of an examination of tho document itself, and fie had no hesitation In saying that Cushing NEVER WROTE A Word OF IT. Mr. Blaine, in reply, sald, that the attorneys of both sides having been heard, hi: i Tenge (Hamlin) hada letter from M calf representing the oxculpated Tosses, staling that he had himself convorsed with Cushihg iu regard to the matter, and the document liad) been used as authority before Congress over since 1873, Mr. Carpenter responded that Cashing’s letter to the Journal of Commerce, being written upon his return from Europe and be- fore he was retalned by tho war premiun men, expressed his opinion more disinterest- ediy than anything written after he was re- jwined, Mr, Blaine afterwards sald that the Senntor from Wisconsin had closed his speech witha very elaborate and very deserved euloginm on Gen. Grant, who was President in 1873 and communicated the result of the arbitra- tion to Congress, but nothing In that message ave the slightest indication of Grant's opin- lon as to what were the proper claims tw be paid. Mr, Binine held In his hand A LETTER FROM JOUN A, PARKER, President of the Grent Western Insurance Company of New York, to Sceretary Fish in 18700n another subject, In which he uses these words: “The opinion expressed to me by President Grant that the Insurance compantes who had charged a premium for war risks could have no claim, and that claimsof that character belonged only to the Government, which opinion you stated to me was largoly enter- tained in Washington, would seem to Indl- cate the necessity for making acaso before the Supreme Court.” So it seems, sald Mr, Blaine, that ‘Gen. Grant was not on Mr. Carpenter's side of the question. Mr. Carpenter thought the debate had grown yery shadowy. when the Senator from Maine wont'fishing in the files. of tho State Departinent to find out what Grant's oplnion was on this publect, “IT have the frente possible admiratfon forGen, Grant,” tocontinned, “I should not yleld oven to the Senator from Maine in that Hanghter A and xh, on aquestion of this kind, which L had deliberately examined, should follow my own convictions and Judgment.” {r, Blaine—The Senator ly losing his mom- ory as well as his courtesy, He Introduced Gen. Grant with «ve See fee tee A MIGULY PROPER EULOGTUM, and paraded him asa witness on his side, and now ho saya: “Oh, yes, Gen. Grant isa fenitonan, but hisopinion isnot worth mora in this case than thas of anyother respectable man.” followed ‘Gene Grant through almost every measure of his Administration and stood adhcront to his policy, and lam very glad to see that hissonge and justice, his nectirate Enowledire of what was fair hotween man and man, is clearly proved In this letter, [Applause Mr, Carpenter—You have ruined me com- pletely, [Engitor) Nowa man who has racticed Inw twenty-five years has Jost all he benefit of experience If hu has not learned hold to the point In.issue and not be fed away by dash and show. Treat from tho message to show his estimate of the high character of tho arbiters and faithful por- formance of their dutics, In contrast to what tho Senator from Maine said. It was not as to what wo should do with tho fund, further than that a fund received undersuch cireum- stances ought to be dealt with honestly, Mr, ‘Thurinan—The two Senators have set themselves right on the third-term ques- tion. [Langhter and applause in tho galleries anc on the floor.) Mr. Edmunds appealed to the Chair to ontores the rules of tho Senate and preserva order, Mr. Thurman then spoke briefly, and, after afew remarks by Messrs, Eaton and Ed- munds, tho Senate adjourned, IN TUE ILOUSE, SUSPENSION OF TILK RULES, Speciat Dispateh fo The Chicago Tribune, Wasutxaton, D.

Tho fact that the 5 per cents aro nearly exhausted ts tho main reason for tho Bi. ; An uttempt was made by Mr, Wellborn, of Texas, to strike out the provision admitting first-mortgage bonds to bo chosen by the Secretary in his diserotion, Mr, Wellborn argued that to make tho first-mortgage bonds eligible would be to put it In the power of tho railroads to swindle the Government, as in some instanees those bonds might become utterly worthless, Mr, Nowborry, of Michigan, held that tho first mortgago bonds were preclacly those which tho roads had the right by law to buy up with thelr first'éarnings, Thora was, however, decided objection on the part of Republicans to pass a bill of so much ime portance under suspension of the rules with- outany opportunity for debate or amend. ment, and the Dil! failed of a two-thirds ma- jority. “ ‘ MR, COX NEPOUTED from the Foreign Affairs.

APPROPRIATIONS, + THE WORK IN HAND, Bpectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasitixaton, D. C.. April 19.—Thoe work ofthe Appropriations Committee Is constantly falling behind, Up to this time four of tho largest bills are untouched, namely: Legis- Intive and Executive, Post-Omee, Sundry Civil, and General Deficiency, The Naval bill fs rendy, and Mr. Atkin’s intends to ask the House to start this to the Senate before before action Is taken on the Little Deficiency Dill, which has now been pending forsomany weeks, and the pnasnge of which Isextreniely necessary to tho public service. The Com- mittee lins agreed to tho Senate amend- ment to the Fortification Dill giving 275,000 increase for heayy guns, and fqeteed to ask non-concurrenca on some of the lesyer items. ‘The Indian bill as reported to the House was §150,000 below the actual necessities of the service, as shown by the fact that the House lias already passed that sin as a deficiency in the Inst year's service, Tho House cub the Committee's billdown still further until tho Interior De- partment will ba $340,000 short of actual re- aulrements of the service. Western mem- bers ant officers of the Department feel con- fident that trouble with Indians in several quarters must fallow this refusal of the House to give the Government tho cans of KEEPING ITS AGREEMENT with number of the tribes. Some of tho members of the Appropriations Committee express tho opinion that there cannot bo an adjournment before August. Still the action of the Senate Approprin- tions Commnittes to-day in agreeing to report the Army Appropriation bill just as it enme from the House, without a ‘single ameni- ment, Is interpreted as an indication of an earnest purpose on the part of the Senute to foree an earlier adjournment if possible, Democratic members of that Committes say that they hope to be able to conclude tho Dusiness so as to adjourn before the first Convention, or by Janel. There probably hos never been an Army Appropriation biil reported to'the Senate ‘before from. the Ap- propriations Committe without some changes it the bill ng it passed the House, An nt tempt will be made to take a similar course on most of the other important. bills, In which event the Senate will greatly hiclp to hasten adjournment.
