After the transaction ofroutine business, Mr. Mitchell (Oregon) obtained the floor to deliver & speech on the bill recently introduced by him to provide for the abrogation of all treaties per- mitting the immigration ot Chinese to the United States, {EXECUTIVE BUSINESS, As Mr. Mitchell was about to proceed, Mr. Hale said it was so late yesterday when Mr. cae completed his speech on the educational ‘at he (Mr. Hale) had not thonght it worth while Quen as ‘hterfere with the come sideration of the bill named, but now gave notice that to-day, on the completion of Mr. Mitchell's remarks, he (Mr. Hale) would move that the Senate proceed to the consideration of executive business, Mr. Mitchell then addressed the Senate.

The means of relief could not properly. be ‘availed of while preserving tbe present treaty stipulations with the Chinese govern- ment; neither could we expect within any rea- sonable time to secure relief by negotiation with that government. Hence it was that the bill submitted by him (Mr. Mitchell) proposed that the states and people of this republic, through Congress and the executive (or by two- tnirds of Congress without the approval of the executive), should remove the obstructions, bi first wiping out of existence all treaties whicl recognize the coming of Chinese to the United States, and then absolutely prohibiting their coming except in the case of consular and diplomatic officials, AN EXECUTIVE SESSION OPPOSED. At the conclusion of Mr. Mitchell's speech, at 2p. m., in the Senate Mr. Hale proposed an ex- ecutive sessiony but Mr. Beck opposed it, saying that Mr. Vi waa absent, and the demo- crats were noyrendy to take up that business Mr. Hale wanted considered, (meaning the hase and Pillsbury nominations.) Mr. Hale then withdrew his motion, and the Senate resumed consideration of thé educa tional bill, ‘THE EDUCATIONAL BILL. Mr. Allison. offered an amendment to the Blair bili, to require that the money of the na- tional fund shall be paid to states where both white and colored schools are maintained, in the proportion of illiteracy that white and col- ored children bear to each other, Mr. blair opposed the amendment, as tend- ing to introduce the subject of race distinctions, House of Representatives.

EXCITING SCENES IN THE HOUSE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. The House got into a wild state of excitement yesterday over the pension appropriation bill. Gen, Henderson, of Iowa, made an impetuous attack upon Pension Commissioner Black and the democratic party, He read that part of Commissioner Black’s report where he speaks of the Pension office under his predecessors as being used for political purposes and attacked it fiercely. He accused the commissioner of misrepresentation ora blunder in estimating that the arrearages of pensions, if the law was repealed,’ would amount to $22%,000,000, and declared’ it would, in his opinion, amount to no more than $150,000,000, and he'thought him- self as good In, speculative philosophy | as was Gen, Black. He reterred_ to Gen. Black’s letter on this subject and its publication before the re- ublican members of the committee had seen it. He wanted toknow why it was given out in that way as “an exposition of an attempted upon the Treasury.” "Mr, Randall interrupted him to say that the letter was not made publie by any member of the committee. “Then it lies between the President and Gen, Black,” retorted Mr. Henderson; “there were three copies of the letter made.” ‘He then eriti- cised the vote upon the bill to increase widows pensions, stating that of the 66 votes cast inst {t G4 were of men from the south, DOW W! sou ing 01 a iting one penny of Eide Fensions, ought not & be compelled to keep them within unds of moderation. “There is no section of the country,” retorted Mr, Henderson, sharply, “that, before God is under deeper and more profound obilj to pay every dollar of its of that ee eros ant south as_ well ag friend (Tillman) did notdo.

This City—The Project Considered at a Meeting Last Evening. A large diagram hanging upon the wall of One of the pariors of Willard’s hotel last night, showed bow it is proposed to utilize the mail and adjoining public grounds for the purposes ofa grand international exposition to be held in 1892 to commemorate the discovery of America by Columbus. Points were indicated where buildings should be placed at various Places along the mall in the Smithsonian, Agricultural and Monument grounds and White Lot. A meeting was held in this parlor last evening, in response to a circular sent out toa number of citizens, for the purpose of per fecting a permanent promoting organization, There were about forty gentlemen present, This number included District Commissioner Webb, failet Kilbourn, E. W. Fox, Col. George B. Corkhill, Charles T. Murray," W.F. Mat- tingly, John 8. Shriver. ex-Seeretary Belknap, Gen. Wan Vitet, Geo. C. Gorham, A. D. Ander son, C.S. Hill, N. G.

Fisher, Augustus Burgdort, “E- Kurtz Johnson, Dr. Z: T. Sowers, Hamilton S. Wicks and Messrs, Biand and Powell, of the Mercbants and Man- ufacturers’ association of Baltimore. Mr. Kilbourn called the meeting to order, and upon his nomination Commissioner Webb was chosen chairman, Mr, A. D. Anderson was elected secretary, THE IDEA AS STATED BY MR, KILBOURN. Mr. Kilbourn stated the objects of the meet- ing to be to consider the proposition ot estab- lisbing a permanent exposition here, under the auspices of the general government, and spoke of the advantages enjoyed by Washington as the location of such an exposition. He referred also to the fact that other cities were contem- plating boiding such expositions. His idea was to urge Congress to establish a permanent ex- ‘ition here, to be opened in 1887, to cele- rate the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution, Such an exbibition could be easily enlarged into a grand international ex- position in 1892, ME. ANDERSON'S PLAN. Mr. A.D. Anderson, who was connected actively with the New Orleans exposition and is identified also with the Tehuantepec ship canal project, read a statement of bis views. He said that the subject had already been care- fully considered by St, Louis, Chicago, New York and the City of Mexico. It was evi- dent that great world’s fairs conid not be suc- cessiully held iu four American cities at the same time. Io this ‘connection the mind aturally turned to Was! My capi of the United States. -He™ referred briefly to the advantages of location and cli- mate by this city. The chief mapper od of this ‘ city, tice estes is ites or government reservat - ing trom. the cp tol to the National Observa- tory, and including the ¢ flats, soon to be reclaimed and beautified. Situated as it is, in the heart of the city, and within a few steps ot Pennsylvania avenue and the born od hotels, it hase great advantage for exposition pu over the parks of other cities, located, as they frequently are, five or six miles out in the suburbs, This park, its contents and Im- mediate surroundings, such as the Washington monument, the National Maseum, Smithsonian Institution, botanica) garden, the Capitol build- ings, facing {t on the east; the Treasury depart- ment, Executive Mansion, riment of Justice, State, War and Navy departments, and the Corcoran Art Gallery; ing it on the north, are an exposition in themselves—a plant which has cost $50,000,000—a magnifi- cent nucleus for the still der_ exposition proposed for 1892. Upon this park is ample Foom for permanent exposition of He atstoheds briefs, a plan Yor the erection Gi le aket iy, @ buildings by the United States: ment and other American governments in these public grounds and reservations, extending from tne Capitol to the observator On the reclaimed fiats, he said,would beample room foran Ameri- can Zoological garden. Only a part of the vari- ous buildings need be erected by the United States, and the expense of these few would be a perfectly secure investment, as they are ab- solutely needed for the use of the government and are to remain permanently as iisown prop- erty. The plan, he said, should be consumma- ted in ised, when the President of the United States, the ‘presidents of the fifteen Spanish- American republics, the emperor of Brazil, the king of Italy, where Columbus was born, and the king of Spain, from which country he sailed, should unite in unveiling a collossal statue of the illustrious discoverer of America, which Statue should be located in the center of the permanent exposition grounds of the three Americas at Washington. A letter was read irom Mr. W. W. Corcoran regretting his ins 3 preside al meet ing on scpount the state of his health, but ishing the project success. rs were also Tead from Simon Wolf and Woodward & Lo- pred tomas their regret at being unable to atte Mr. G8, Hill stated that Hon, Geo. Ban the iisiorian, when several gentlemen cal upon bim, expressed great interest in the project, and wished them godspeed in the un- rlaking. OTHER REMARKS. Messra, Powell and Bland, of Baltimore, promised hearty co-operation on the part of the Merchants and Manutacturers’ association, Mr. Hamilton S. Wicks, of Kansas City, spoke in favor of the proposed exposition, an urged the propriety of holding it in Washing- ton. He spoke against the constitutional cen- tennial project, urging that they should have only one idea, else some other city would get ‘ahead of Washington in 1892. Remarks in favor of the project were made by Messrs. Mattingly, Fox, Gorham, Corkhil ‘Ordway and Belknap. ‘A COMMITTEE TO BE APPOINTED. A resolution was adopted directing the chatr to appoint a committee of twenty-one citizens of the District to consider a plan of operations and report ata future ineeting, the committee to be announced hereafter. “By that time,” said Mr, Kilbourn, referring to the future meeting, “it will be evident that the project will be successful, and every man in ‘Washington will be at the tront.” Mr. Kilbourn continued, saying tha: it was his idea that the citizens should be at no expense in getting uj the exposition; that the government shoul erect the buildings, and that admission should be free, as the government could not take toll from its citizens, —— District Government Affairs.
