Gen. Miles, command- Ing the department of the Columbla, for one year's leave of absence, with permission to go abroad, with the understanding that he would resign from the service ut ge explration of fs leave. “The ap- plication was disapproved by the department com- Mander, who said, however, that he would approve an application for leave until December 31. “Under date of July 6 Lieut. Schwatka fendered his resig- nation, and applied for six month's leave, ‘This was forwarded to the War department, and the resignation was accepted to take effect January 31, 1885, and leave granted until that date, On the 16th, of December a communication was received frou ators Logan and Dolph saying that Lient. ehwatka had Fesigned ‘ut now desired to be laced en the retired list, of the army, which privi- lege he believed himself entitled to because of In- Juries to his eyes received tn the service.

MX. BAYARD'S DYNAMITE RESOLUTION. Mr. Bayard’s resolution expressive of the senti- ments of the Senate in regard to the London dyna- mite explosions was taken up at 12:50 p. m. and Mr, Bayard made a short speech upon it. Mr. Bayard sald he was the better satisned at the lapse of aday in asking the Senate now to adopt the resolution, because the body had this morning an opportunity to affirm deliberately ‘what naturally and instinetively prompted expres- sion on the instant of receiving Information of the uncivilized, cruel, and barbarous attempt to de- stroy, in afiother country, human life, and, with it, buildings dedicated to a government of laws, in the vain hope, posstbly, togain relief from suffering thus overtitrowing law itself in Its very citadel. It Seemed eminently proper, Mr. Bayard’ added, that a law-making body of the American people should express lis sntagonisin to a spirit whieh, by de- stroying law, would necessarily destroy all hopes of the liberty that could only exist under law. In order that a full expression of the opinion of the Senate on the resolution might be had Mr. Bayard. called for the yeas and nays. Mr. Riddieberger moved that it be referred to the committee on foreign relations. ‘The yeas and nays were ordered on the question of reference. Mr. Riddieberger said he wished for more inform- ation on the subject. He said he had no sympathy ‘with the dynamiters, but he would not vote for a resolution which might be interpreted Into an ex- pression of sympathy with Ireland's enemies. It was known here that there was war absolute be- tween England and Ireland, so far as Irishmen, without @ country, could make war. Upon a yea and. nay vote the motion to refer the Tesolution to the foreign relations committee was, deteated—yeas 2 nays 88—only Senators Riddle- berger and Van Wyck voting in the aflirmative. Mr. Riddleberger moved that further considera- tion ‘of the resolution be postponed unul next Wednesday. He declared that the Senate had not suflctent information upon which to base action of Wis Kind. The Body wag asked to vote in a way Which would be interpreted as sympathy with Eng- Tand and against Ireland, | 2 BPAtRY Senator Hoar said the Senator trom Virginia Seemed to treat the occurrence in London as if It Were a warlare alopted by the Irsh people against England. He (Hoar) had among his constituents inany persons of Irish descent—intelligent, brave, manly people. He thought he was justified in stat ing that the doctrine expressed in the resolution Was thelr doctrine, us It was that of other Ameri can people. ‘The inaking of war upon unoffending women “and children was as repugnant to these citizens as to any other people. He saw that her Majesty's American representative had said that America had been remiss in her duties 1n some re- Spects. America could not undertake to deal with niere violent expressions, and if it did, those things Would be more dangerous in their repression than {a tiielr expression, He believed that the United fates In the future, a8 tn the past, would perfor all her duties to ottler powers P=? Laie: Senator Kiddleberger sald he had not assumed that the explosions Were the results of a method et wartare adopted by the fish people. He de- clared again that he had not suffictent information, Bor had any other Senator @uilicient information for the proposed action, nator Gidson said he thought it eminent per that the american people, kindred In. tngtites Uons and kindred tn biood with the Britisa should kive this expression of their views, People who Used dynainite put themselves on a level with Ukese who used poison; they were assassins and murderers, nator Ingalls noticed in the papers that feel- ings were prevalent in England on Saturday in favor of bringing some pressure to bear upon America in this respect. He would vote for the lon, Hot as an apology, not as an expression npathy, Dut as an expression of abliorrence for such crimes. ‘The explosions of Saturday shook the foundations of every capitol In Christendom, But there was something worse than dynamite, Those who dented the rights of mankind were taught by these occurrences that behind them stood the menacing specter of vengeance. Mr. Riddleberger read the published report of an attack upon an American citizen by a mob in Eng- land. He sald the Irishinen were as much slaves as ever Were he colored people in the south, Mr. Hawley sald the American people had twice had experience in assassiuation, and on each occa- Sioa there had come back trom évery nation, from every tribe, solemn and tyjignant denunciations. ‘These eriines were worse, i. worse, What good could the resolution do? ‘He did not know; but it ld him good to curse the acts. It did the world Rood to denounce them. ‘These acts were not tie acts of the Irish people; they were merely an in- sensate dush against humanity. {pon a yea and nay vous Ar, Riddieverger’s Motion to postpon? action until Wednesday was defeaied by 1 to 62, ‘THE RESOLUTION PASSED, 63 TO 1. ‘The resolution was then passed by a vote of 68 to 1 (Mr. Riddlebergery, Mr. Bayard’s resolution 1s as follows: Zesolved, That the Senate of the United States has heard with indignation and profound sorrow of the attempt to destroy the houses of parliament and other public buildings in London, and hereby expresses Its horror and detestation of such mon- strous crimes against elvilizution, House of Representatives, A large number of executive communications were laid before the House by the Speaker and ap- Propriately referred, but none were of public im- portance, THR PIRE IN THE HOUBE ROOF. ‘Mr. Stockslager (Ind.) offered a resolution, which was adopted, directing tue committee on pubile Dulldings to inquire into the origin of the fire Which occurred in the roof ot the House this morn- ing, and report what measures are necessary to greater security agalnst fire. Cader the cat ot states, the following bilis and resolutions were introduced and referred: By Mr. Rosecrons, (Cal)—Appropriating $100,000 to provide (urther ald and encouragement to per- fecting and manufacturing the highest class of guns. A CALL ON THE PRESIDENT FOR INFORMATION. By Mr, Sumner (Cal.)—A resolution reciting that the California and Oregon Rallroad company has falied to complete ite road within the time limited by the granting act, and that notwithstanding ls fact has been brought to his attention, the President has appointed a commission to examine and report on said line ot road, and requesting the President to inform the House what were tho rea- Sons that impelled hit to appotnt the commission. RRADING HIS OWN RESOLUTION. ‘Mr. White (Ky.) rose to introduce a Joint resolu- lution but, instead of sending 1t to the clerk’s desk, proceeded to read it himself. It recites that the ‘comnalssioner of internat revenue and the Secretary of the Treasury have, by unwarrantabie regula- tons, assumed to exténd the bonded period for dis- Uiled' spirits and abolishes the office of commis- sioner of Internal revenue and the entire system of internal revenue taxation, ‘Mr. Blackburn (Ky.) interrupted the reading ‘with the point of order that the resolution must be read at the clerk's desk,but the Speaker held other- Wis into uff tor the punishment of such outrages. Re- ferred to the committee on foreign affairs. ‘TER EDMUNDS DYNAMITR BILL. Bilis were further introduced and referred as follows: By Mr. Dorshetmer (N. Y.)—The “Edmunds” bill for the punishment of crimes committed by means of explosive compounds. Capitol Topics. THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘The House committee on appropriations to-day Teported the army appropriation bill. It provides for an appropriation of $24,429,053. ‘The estimates amounted to $26,110,490.

In the Senate investigation of Indian leases to- day Mr. Thomas E. Berry was recalled. He testified that he wrote to Indian Commissioner Price in June, 1883, making charges against E. BR. Town- send, the Indian agent, and the witness also pro- duced an executive document (No. 54) containing a letter which, he contended, advised Mr. Price of the doings ‘of Townsend long before the date the commissioner admitted knowledge of those charges. ‘The testimony ot Berry only went to contradict Commissioner Price and his statement that the charges against Townsend were not made until Just the latter went out of office. 10 RELIEVE THE HOUSE CALENDAR. ‘There @ large number of bills on the House calen- ar to the passage of which there is not the least objection, and they could get through in a very few minutes each, but they are so far down on the ‘calendar that there is no chance of reaching them in the regular order. A number of resolutions with the view of rendering 1t possible to dispose of these have Deen offered and referred to the committee on rules This committee will meet to-morrow morn- ing, When an effort will be made to mature a prop. ition that will enable members to call up and igpose of unobjected business. THE NICARAGUAN TREATY. ‘The prospect of the ratification of theNicaraguan ‘treaty at this session of the Senate is not regarded as very flattering. Senator Sherman’s recent speech against it, showing that it thad been the conunued policy of this government to recognize the Clayton- julwer treaty as in force, 1s sald to have turned a number of Senators, who prior to that favored the ‘tweaty. ‘THE AGRICCLTURAL BILL PASSED. In the House, Saturday, after THE Star report closed, on motion of Mr. Dibble (S.

Flames in the File Room of the House, NARROW ESCAPE OF VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORDS FROM DESTRUCTION. ‘The Capitol was thrown Into a state ot wild ex- cltement this morning by the discovery of a fre under the iron roof of the House of Representa. tives, just over the file room, where are stored all the valuable records of Congress. About a quarter Defore eleven o'clock this morning, before many of ‘the members had arrived, a few large sparks were seen to fall upon the floor of the House from the Toof above, which in a minute increased to quite 2 shower of fire. About the same time some one on ‘the dome was"seen to wave his hands and shout attract attention to the roof below him. ‘The few Representatives in the hall and the officers and pages rushed for the doors and for a moment they seemed to expect n explosion and gee a repetition of Saturday's scene in the British house of parliament. It was shouted through corridors that it was a fire in the ‘upper loft of the Mte-room. The fear of dynamite ‘Was dispelled in a moment, and there was a rush for the narrow iron staircase that leads to the flag- over Re soos. ‘Tt.was found it the wooden rm about the staff and the itself were @nvel..ped in flames. ‘The roof benéath was burnt thi and the flames were eating away the wood ‘work in the room, and the leather covers of the old Tecords had beguh to curl up with the heat, Assist- ant Doorkeeper Chauncey and a couple of Capitol policemen were the first on the scene, and handed Out the boxes of-papers to the employes of the file-room and others who were soon gathered about. The wind was very high and the tron roof was burnt through In severa] places. For several min- utes nothing could be @Oue, as there was no water ‘and no way to get at the place except up a st and narrow iron staircase running up three stories, ‘upon which two men cannot pass each other.

In the room to which the fire was confined were ‘stored the records of the first session of Cor with all the original reports of committees, of the proceedings of the House, and reports of the vari- ous heads of departments, including some valuable reports dated 1700.

The fire was remote, not eusily accessible, and its origin could not be traced.

It is pretty well understood that in a short time Mr. Cleveland will visit New York city for the pur- pose of consulting with democratic leaders. He will take rooms at the Fifth Avenue hotel, and will, it 1s sald, be “at home” to democrats who have views as to the composition of the cabinet and the policy of the next administration. In making this move Mr, Cleveland ts consulting the convenlence Of those Whom be wants to see aud those who want to see him, a8 New York city is much nearer Wash- ioyen than Albany. The proposed consultations will have much to do with the construction of the cabinet. The opinion prevails umong some of the democrats who have had facilities for le: something of the President-elect’s Ideas about cabinet, that he wants active, practical business men, atid that be hasa preference for what is gene- rally Known as the “young democracy.” It is said that Mr. Cleveland does not regard old age as es- sential to success in the administration of any branch of the government, but. that on the con trary he hasan idea that men in the full vi or physical and mental life are likely to do better than men who have fallen into the sere and yellow ‘Of late there has been some earnest talk aout Representative Mitchell, of Connecticut, for the cabinet.

At the State department it was learned to-day that no oficial communication in reference to the Tecent dynamite explosions in Longon has either Deen recetved or sent by this government. “There is no action for the United States author- ites to take,” sald Assistant Secretary Adce, in speaking of the matter. “There is not a_scintilla Of proof that this country is any more responsible for these dastardly proceedings than any of the European countries. ‘There 1s a good deal of theo- Tetical evidence that O'Donovan Rossa and his fol- lowers have actively interested themselves in the dynamite transactions which every now and then startle the world, but there isn’t anything that ‘they can be held answerable for. Tt has nou been proved that they have violated any international law. In this connection there are two things that Must be shown before any resporsibility cap be laid at the door of the United States. First, #hat any overt act has been committed by American citizens against England, and second, having proved that, it will be necessary to show that this fovernment hag neglected to enforce “the WS governing such cases, ff there be any such faws. Then "we can be held responsible, and not wnUl then. ‘The fact 1s We have no federal taws which cover such cases, and the bill of Senator Edmunds ts intended, of course, to remedy the defect. This dynamitical Warfare is an inyention of recent years and punish- ment for it does not come within our laws. We are ho better off in this respect, however, than Eng- land’s European neighbors.” Germany was the first power to take steps to changeher laws. While this government. may deplore the course of the Irish American citizens, at whose head 1s O'Donovan Rossa, it Bas no authority to Prevent it. Indeed, there 1s no proof that their course has exceeded talk. ‘There 1s nothing to show that themoney raised here has been used for ‘Une manufacture of dynamite in this country and sent to England for English explosions. There 1s,1n- deed nothing to show that such money waseven sent abroad to heip the dynamiters in other countries. ‘There 1s a suspicion, you know, that Rossa and his followers make thelr living off these Suspicions Tegarding their actions. ‘They may be very willing to be considered the head and front of the dyna- mite business by the Irish sympathizers in this country and to receive subscriptions for the work if, at the same time, they run no risk of being held 16 answer for their talk. No, a8 I sald, there 1s no action for this govern- ment to take at present.” WHAT REPRESENTATIVE FINNERTY SAID. Representative Finnerty sat in the House lobby when the news was first announced to him. “Of ‘course tt will be laid to the Irish,” he said, “but the nihilists may be in London as they are tn the cities of Russia.” A SUDDEN CONVERSION. One of the most faithful and efficient employes ot the Senate is an Irishman, who has been an Ameri- can citizen for many years. He has been in the service of the Senate for perhaps twenty years. and. nerally popular. He naturally sympathizes with his native land, “Last Saturday’ stinebody. told him that dynamiters haa blown up the tower of London and the Parliament house. “Good, .” he ejaculated. One of the officers of whe ive who overheard what ‘Went up to the Irish-American and sald: “Joe, you ought not to talk that way. It might cost you your place. ‘There is tntense feeling in this country against these dynamite outrages, and Mr. Edmunds to-day introduced a bill to punish any syimpathizers with the dynamiters in the United States.” In the course of a few moments another gentleman came along and said, *‘Joe, have you heard that London has Diown up'by dynamiters.” Yes,” re- sponded Joe, with emp! ind the d—d rascals ought every one to be hung: mat, as his sudden change of opinion shows. Minister Wests Views. Minister West sald toa reporter, in reply toin- quiries as to what he thought would be the effect of these outrages: “I think they will have the effect of tnstitutiting more rigorous measures, both in this country and in England, for the pun- ishment and suppression of these diabolical and absurd measures. America ishardly yet alive to the importance of suppressive laws, but She, too, ‘will before long” be rudely” awak- ened ffom her indifference. She thinks it does not affect her much that these dynamlters should destroy public property in Europe ; but she ‘will Md that even now the scorpions. aré in her bosom. ‘The recent wrecking of trains in the west by dynamite, although in themselves having no political significance, yet show that the ramifica- tions of the dynamiters have Included America in thelrembrace. She has, however, even at the mo- ment of the explostons in London, through Senator Edmunds, introduced a measure which will do much to prevent the farther unmolested progress of this unnatural warfare.
