Ispectina THE Navy YaRps—Ex-Supervising Architect of the ‘Treasury A. B. Mullet and C. H.

Hillhouse, for merly assistant treasurer at. New York, Surveyor Graham, George Montague, president f the Sev- enth Ward national bank, ‘and Frederick D. Tap- n, president of the Gailatia national bank. The Secretary started for Genéya this morning, and will not return to Washington before next week. He has decided that the New York surveyor, as well as the naval officer, shall perform the duties of his office until his successor shall be qualified. In regard to the latest call for bonds the Secre- tary, according to the New. York 7'ribune, said: “I Know that my action has been criticised sharply in New York,but the people in Wall street apparently forget that the call had three months to run before it matured. ‘They talk as if the bonds were to be paid atonce. The revenues are increasing steadily and I know of no other way than the caliing of bonds which I can return the money to circulation. I anticipate that the surplus revenues will be much more than sufMicient for this call by the time tt matures. The Treasury papal may be unusually large from the tax on whisky. I have no means of judging ag to the probable fate of the bill now before Con- ress. I have seen only one side in this matier, for the only persons who have called on me about it have been those who favored the passage of the bill. I have not seen any of its opponents.” press tash Tae Cost The Star Reute Trial. TESTIMONY IN THE CASE TO-DAY. When the star route trial was resumed this morning Mr. Henke, calling attention to the con- tinued illness of Mr. Shields, the juror, suggested that it might be better to adjourn over to-day and let him nurse himself. In_ response to questions by Jutge Wylie, Mr. Shields said he felt better than he did when he left home; he feared only that the fever would get to hig head, w hich would prostrate him. “We will'go on then,” said Judge Wylle, “until the wagon beg ins to run through your head.” Merrick agreed with Mr. Henkle that it might be expedient to adjourn over aday. Judge Wylie, however, in view of Mr. Shields? statement that he was better, decided to go on with the trial. Mr. Bllss then proceeded to read the papers re- lating to the route from Stiverton, Col., to Parrott City. Frederick Stelnecke, sub-contractor on the route, said that when he arranged with John W. Dorsey the terms of his sub-contract he toid Dorsey that _{t was impossible to make a schedule Of 15 hours on the route, Dorsey told him that the Post Office department always made allowance for bad weather in the mountains; but that he Should be careful to make as many ‘trips as’ pos- sible. On cross-examtnation the witness said that he had, in November, 1881, telegraphed _to 8. C. Ram- age’ in this city to prevent the schedule on the route being changed. ‘The witness In explanation sald that he had been notified to carry the mail on the original schedule, and he understood at that time that the original schedule was fifteen hours. He did not know, as he afterwards learned, that it was thirty-six hours, and therefore he sent the dispatch. J. Chauncey Hayes, the sub-contractor on the Jalian-Colton route, took the stand fo¥the pur- pose of making some corrections in the printed re- port of bis testimony. Before taking the usual recess at one o'clock Judge Wylle inquired of Juror Shields how he an and the reply by Mr, Shields was that he was ier. TRIAL INCIDENTS. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Bergman, the sub-con- tractor on the Jullan and Colton route, was re- called to the stand, and during a cross-examina- tion by Mr. Ingersoll said that he never had any horses die on his hands; ‘mail route horses lived 20 and 25 yenra)? St oo you sell any of these horses?” asked Mr, T object,” said Mr. Bliss. . ‘It the court please,” said Mr. IngersoM,“I never had such Qn opportunity to buy horses in my “q object,” said Mr. Bi the witness being Loe eM here to bo taken! lon’t want to cheat him,” said Mr. Ingersoll. a horses are.” “Man may not be Juror Shields is sutering wine severe attack of poorest the sce and Bee ce band- ‘made of a ! ety on andkerchief, Which covers his = | es A Political History by Mr. Blaine. A Washington dispatch to the New York Tri- dune says: It is learned here that Mr. Blaine has been for some time past a WHAT CONGRESS IS DOING, Senate Proceedings To-day. Mr. Saunders presented a communication in the Senate to-day from the governor of Montana, re- commending great care in relation to the leasing of the Yellowstone National Park, or any part of It, and urging action to prevent the destruction of game there. Referred to the committe on verrl- tories. At the close of the morning business the Sen- ate, on motion of Mr. Edmunds, held a brief exec- utive session. When the doers were reopened ‘THE TARIFF BILL was taken up. ‘Mr. Beck moved to strike out the paragraph embracing women’s and children’s dress goods, coat linings, Itallan cloths and goods of like description now and heretofore known as worsted stuffa, the warp of which Is made wholly of cot- ton, linen, ramie, china grass or other vegetable materials, or of a combination of them, and the weit wholly or in part of wool, worsted, the hair of thealpaca goat or other like animals, and to substitute for it the classification of the exis ting law, the rates of duty per square yard being re- duced one cent. ‘Mr. Morrill opposed the amendment as incon- gruous with the rest of the bill, and said that the classification in the existing law applied to goods now out of fashion. Mr. Beck, in support of his amendment, read again the statement, which he read on Monday, from a New York merehant, charging that the effect of the provision in the bill would be to lay the highest duties upon low-priced goods MR, LAMAR MADE AN ARGUMED to show that the protective policy is delusive, and that its maintenance Is not necessary for the ext: tence or the development of American manufac- tures. The discussion and the votes on the pend- ing bill showed clearly, he said, that It was impos- sible to make any material reduction of taxation, and at the same time to maintain the protective system. The two things were incompatible, and one or the other must be given up. Confirmations by the Senate, The Senate, in executive session, to-day con- firmed the following nominations: Collector of customs—Milton A. Edgar to be col- lector of customs for the districtor Perth Amboy, Navy—Commodore “Chas. H. Baldwin to be rear admiral. Interior—Wyman L. Lincoln, of Iowa, to be Indian agent for the Indians at Fort Belknap, Montana, Also a large number of postmasters. House of Representatives. NIGHT SESSIONS AGREED UPON. Mr. Robeson, trom the committee on rules, re- Ported a regolution in the House to-day that during the remainder of the session the House shall, at 5:80 p. m. each day, take @ recess until 7:30 p. m. Adopted. Mr. McLane introduced a bill appropriating $10,000 for the erection of a monument to the mem- ory of Baron DeKalb in the naval academy grounds. Referred. THE TARIFF BILI. The House then, at 11:20, went into committee of the whole (Mr. Burrows in the chalr,) on the tariff bill, the pending amendment being that of- fered by Mr. Kelley increasing the duty on iron ore, including manganiferous iron ore, also the dross or residuum from burnt pyrites from 50 to 75 cents per ton. Mr. Kelley withdrew the amendment, and moved to fix the rate at 60 cents per ton; also, to increase the duty on sulphuret of tron in’its natural state, containing less than 15 per cent of silica, from 50 to 60 cents per ton. ‘Mr. Anderson offered an amendment, to come in after the head line of the schedule, consisting of the metal schedule as agreed upon by the Senate. ‘M. Carlisle (Ky.) appealed to the gentlemen on the other side to let a vote be taken on the amend- ment of the gentleman from Kansas in order that the sense of the committee could be ascertained on the question whether it preferred the Senate schedule to the schedule reported by the commit- tee on ways and means. He was ready to take that schedule as it stood without amendment or debate. Mr. Haskell inquired whether, if the schedule he would consent that both were adopted, schedules might goto a committee of conference. Mr. Carlisle replied in the negative. A confer- ence committee had no power to consider matters upon which both houses had agreed, and to give them such a power was to delegate to them the power of Congress. Mr, Haskell suggested that there were some things in the schedule which the Senate wished to D Mr. Carlisle replied that they could be changed in the House. if Mr. McKinley admitted that on its face the proposition of the gentleman from Kentucky ap- Peared fair, and, tor one, he was prepared to ac- cope {ton one condition—that the committee first: take a vote on the entire metal schedule as re- ported by the committee on ways and means with- out discussion or amendment. If it failed, then the republicans would vote on the Senate schedule without amendment or debate. [Derisive laughter on democratic side.] ‘That was a fair proposition; Rot a one-sided proposition. Mr. Page inquired whether Mr. Anderson’s prop- sition did not intend w substitute the Senate schedule for the House schedule. Mr. Anderson replied that he would answer that question when the proper time came. Mr. Page.—I ee gentleman will be honest wee a side.

S Brooks, who has a claim, which 4s described as a “clear case,” now pending in the Pension bureau. The petition te somewhat unique in construction. It says: “Said Brooks has three diseases, which we have no doubt originated while he was In active service of the government.” It tg recited that If Brooks gets his venston, for which a claim ts pending, he would be barred from receiving arrearazes, and would only be entitied to about $8 per month “as the law now stands, thereby defrauding him out of about 17 or 18 hundred dollars which Justly belongs to. him ac- cording to the arrearsges pension law.” [This assertion follows a statement that the very law referred to required clsimants In order to get ar- rearages to Mle claims within a specified time, and that as Brooks hart not done so, he could not, un- der that law, get arrearages.] The petitioners ask Congress ‘to make a special case of this, and grant Brooks a pension trom the time of his dis- charge, February 19th, 1863, which would be to Pass a special arrearages act for his benefit. One peculiarity about the petition is that nearly all the one hundred or more names are signed in the same handwriting. Referred to the committee on pensions, where it will probably find eternal reat.
