Among the memorials presented in the Senate to- day was one by Mr. Cockrell, from the united labor organizations of St. Louls, which protests against’ the attempts of employers, as lustrated by recent events, in connection with the glass-blowers and j other trades, to reduce the compensation of Amer- {ean labor toa point ona level with the pauper labor of Europe, and praying the passage of Laws to restrict wholtsale immigration intended to effect @ reduction of the wages of American working men. In presenting the memorial, and moving is, reference to the committee on education and labor, Mr. Cockrell took occasion to commend it to the Serfous consideration of that committee. It was so referred. Mr. Sewell presented as a memorial a series ot resolutions of the senate of New Jersey, opposta the Morrison tariff scheme, and expressing the be- let of that body that any ting approaching a tariff for revenue only would materially injure, if not totally destroy, the manufacturing interests of New Jersey, and reduce the wages of American working- mien to a point entirely inconsistent with the de- Inands upon“ them as inembers of society In the United Staves, : THE ROW OVER THE SENATE CONTINGENT FUND. Mr. Sherman called up the message announcing the action of the House on the Senate Joint resolu- tion passed two Weeks ago appropriating $10,007 for the contingent fund of the Senate, ‘The amend- ment of the House, which provides that the money. So_appropriated Shall only be used for in- vestigations already Was Tend, and, after. a general jon of the. ‘viet of Senators, unanimously condemning th se AS “AN unjustifiable inter- ference of that body with the Independence of the Senate, a vore by yeas and nays Was taken, and the Senate unanimously decided not to concur In the amendment, and @ committee, consisting of Messrs, Sher, Wilson and Butler; was appouited toconfer with alike comumitiee of the House on the subject, ‘The House. ‘The Speaker announced the appointment of Mr. nzanares, of New Mexico, upon the committee on colnage, welghts and measures, ‘THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘The morning hour hgving been dispensed with, the House went into Mamittee of the whole (Mr. Converse, of Ohio, in the chair) on the naval ap- propriation bin. Mr. Thomas (IIL) offered an a clause providing for the cormpietion of the new cruls quiring tiat the vessels Shall have full sail power. Under the two-thirds sail power, Which had been decided upon by the advisory board, the vess could not move three miles an hour under sail before a fresh breeze, Mr. Hutchins (N. Y.), while believing that the cruisers should have full sail power, consilered It Anadvisable for the government to Interfere with coutructs already inade. Mr. Thomas said Unat no contract had been en- tered Into In regard to the rigging, and expressed his opinion that the vessels, when completed, Would be found to have but one-fourth instead of ‘two-thirds sail power ‘The amendment was lost. Mr. Skinner (N. ¥.) offered an amendment pro- viding that the four pivot suns of the Chicago shall be mounted on Clark's defléctive single gun turrets or V shields. Mr. Hutchins offered an amendment tothe amend- ment providing that Itshali not ehanze the eon- tract entered into by the government for the con- struction of that vessel Both ainendiments were agreed to.

In the Senate yesterda noon the resolution appropriating $10,000 ate contingent fund to go on with the Danville investigation was taken up.

Mr. Cook’s Warning. THE PRESIDENT CAUTIONED FIVE DAYS BEFORE BE WAS stor. In the statement made by ex-Postmaster General James before Mr. Springer’s committee yesterday, recounting the Incidents of a visit to President Gar- fleld on June 27, 1881, Mr. James sald: “At the close of the interview Mr. Cook sald to the President: ‘Mr. President, you know that J ain a criminal law- yer, and that fay assoclations are not always with angels. T hear a great deal avout whats going on, and [feel that itis my duty to say, from knowl: edge which has come into iy possession, that something dreadful is about to happen.’ The New York Herald today says: “Now, Mr. Cook sald this 2s thus reported just five days before Gartleld was shot. Is It possible that the ‘some ting dreadful’ referred to was the murder of tin President?” Dia Mr. Cook on the 27th of June know that Garfield was to be shot?” ‘Mr. Cook's attention being called by a SraR re- porter to the above publication to-day, he sald: ‘This 18 a misconception or mistake of What was said. 1.did suggest to the President that there was 0 einbittered a feeling on the part of some of the thd go much feeling ‘arising ouv of ‘tie angry con and so much feeling arising test between the stalwarts and half-breeds, that 1t was impossible to determine what its effect ‘de on weak or morbid minds, or what despei might be prompted to do. “Therefore, I. thought ‘that It would be prudent and wise for the President be cautious. ‘The impression existed on my mind perhaps created by the high state of teel- engendered by the causes mentioned—that not onl President but others might be in personal danger.

Ex-Postmaster General James was stilt upon the | stand before the Springer committee yesterday af- terncon when Tuk Sran’s report closed. He said President Garfteld directed Brady's dismissal. Af terwards, however, he sent _a note to witness, Say- ing that upon reflection he had concluded to allow Brady to resign. A. M.

Hon, Wayne MacVeagh, ex-Attorney General, Was again before the Springer comuittee to- asked if he remembered the conversation with President Garfleld to which Mr. James had referred, where the President was Informed as to the gravity of the evidence in the star route cases.
