Mr. McPherson presented a petition of the Patterson Parnell Land League, relative to the to the case of Michael Boyton. Referred to the committee on foreign relations, A NEW MOVE. Mr. Harrison presented a similar petition which was referred to the same committee. Mr, Blair offered the follo resolution: Resolved, that in the judgement, of the Senate the public interest requires that Congress be convened in public session immediately. Mr, Harris—Let that go over. Mr. Blair—I offer it merely to be read for in- formation at this time. ME, BLAIR’S READINGS TO SHOW THE NECESSITY FOR AN &XTKA SESSION. ‘Mr. Blair had read the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court in the case of Bickler against C. A. Arthur when the latter was collector of New York. Next Mr. Blair proposed to read a Jetter from the largest hosiery manufactory in the United States. Mr. McPherson sey es What purpose Mr. Blair had in view. Did he wish to show tne necessity of an extra session? Mr. Blair,—Yes, Mr. McPherson then asked {f Mr. Blair had come to a realization of the necessity of a re- pmo of the tariff as a protection against mo- nopolies. Mr. Blair.—Yes, where monopolies exist. Mr. Blair then read a letter addressed to him by a large firm of hosiery manufacturers in New Ham} e, calling attention to the fact, that the decision in the Bickler case reduced the ae ode duties on hosiery to figures so low that the business in this country would be ruined unless this thing was remedied. MR, BLAIR FAVORS CALLING AN EXTRA SESSION AT ONCE. Ina few remarks Mr. Blair maintained that Congress only can give relief to the woolen Manufactories, and he favored an immediate call of an extra session. He wanted to pro- tect the industries of this country. Mr. Blair declared himeelf in favor of an extra session on general principles. He believed a continuous Session of Congress wouid be beneficial to the country, now £0 large that sessions of four or to six months in cach year are not long eoongt to attend to all the legislative business. Bo- sides the woolen Interests, numerous other {nterests call for an extra session. Again, the democrats have declared theywill not yield until alegislative session meets;a called session would meet that requirement and remove the dead- lock, (voices on the democratic side, “oh, no; oh, no.”) Mr. Blair declared the republican. Senators will Not yield, neither will the demo- crats; they will stay till December. The Presi- dent desires the confirmation of his nomina- tions, but it cannot be done; some few may be confirmed, but the fight will goon. As to the nominations, Mr. Blair said the U. S. Supreme Court would soon adjourn, andthat the con- firmation of one Judge is not a matter of press- ing necessity. ir. Platt interrupted Mr. Blair to say that the decision in the Bickler case did not reach as far as Mr. Blair seemed to think, and he (Platt) had hopes that the Treasury would ad- minister under the decision so as not to injure the woolen interests. Mr. Blair said the best and QUICKEST WAY TO BREAK THE DEADLOCK is to call an extra session, as the “democrats cannot afford to onstruct legislation by staying heré and quarreling with us over the Senate eficers.” Continuing, Mr. Blair sald, “Pn withdraw the term quarreling, as it seems to be offensive to my friend on the left (Senator Hoar, who had whispered to Mr. Blair). Mr. Hoar whispered again to Mr. Blair to set him right, In conclusion Mr. Blair said he would again call up this question. GEN. LOGAN SAYS HE WAS NOT A “SECESH’ SYMPATHIZER. Mr. Logan then took the floor and midea speech in refutation of the charges which havi been made and which he characterizes a: slanders that ke at any time sympathized with fecession. He read in support of his denial o ‘the charges a letter which be had recetved trae. Senators Lamar and Pugh, who served with him in Congress at the outbreak of the war bearing testimony to bts (Logan's) !syaity te the Union at that time. He aiso quoréd from speeches finde py him to show his oppostiion to the secession and challenged anybody tc show any reece in which he had upneld the rebellion, He denied explicitly the various charges that he had raised a company to join the rebels, and read letters to prove that those chargea were absolutely faise, Sitting Bull’s Indiaus, ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVE SURRENDER— THE CHIBF COMING IN.

BEACONSFIELD'S LAST HOURS, THE “BILLEE TAYLOR’ SUIT. ——$ es DE JARNETTE ACQUITTED. BEACONSFIELD’S DEATH. Incidents ef His Last Hours. London, April 19.—Lord Beaconsfield’s re- newed debility began on Sunday aye when an east wind commenced to blow. He contin- ued to lose ground throughout Monday, the unfavorable wind contin: and constantly increasing in keenness. He died at half-past 4 o'lock this morning as calmly as if he were asleep. Announcement of his death was im- Medlately dispatched to the Queen, Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family, and to Mr. Gladstone, who Is now at Hawarden. ‘The news became generaliy known tl hout the city towards o’clock, when spectal editions of the morning papers were issued containt the announcement. Though not unexpect in view of his physicians’ statement last night that his symptoms Gave grou maids tor more grave anxiety than at any peri uring eS his death creates a deep sensation. 1t was oD: served at 3:15 this morning that Lord Beacons- fleld’s end was near. His physicians think it was only his strength of to struggle on as long as he ald, His courage never falled him to the last. THE EXRCUTORS OF LORD BRACONSFIELD'S WILI. are Sir Nathaniel Kothschild and Sir Philip Rose, The latter will go to Hughenden Manor with Lord Barrington to-day. No ents have yet been.made for the funeral. Probable that unless the Queen otherwise orders the remains of Lord Beaconsfleld will be buried at Hughenden with those of his wits. Accounts gathered from his physicians show that he retained his cheerfulness. He several times during his illness stated his belief that he would die. One of the doctors says the Orowsiness which had been apparent earlier in the night deepened towards midnight tato & stupor, from which he was with aifiiculty aroused. He then took nourishment up to half-past one o'clock. About two o'clock he became coma- tose, breathing with much difficulty. Doctors Kidd and Bruce at once applied the usual re- storatives, but for the first ume since his illness they failed to produce any effect, and it became evicent that death was imminent. Lord Barrington, Dr. Quain and Sir Philip Pose were hastily summoned. Sir Philip Rose and Dr. Quain only arrived a few minutes before the end. Five minutes before he expired his breathing became slow and gentle. His face was very placid. His heart’s action and pulse continued a few minutes after his breathing ceased to be apparent. His friends and nurses continued round his bed a few minutes after his pulse ceased, as the end was so quiet that it was difficult to realize that he was dead. The evening editions of the Standard and the Globe appear in mourning. The Times says: When he died he was quitecalm andqutet. He had no pain, add was conscious to the last. ———— MANAGER FORD’S VICTORY. Decision in Ls anon Taylor” maa in the inst John T.
