MRE, VAN WYCK’S RESOLUTION, ‘The Record shows that Mr. Van ‘Wyck’s resolution calling on the District Com- missioners for information as to their connec- tion with stock companies in the District went over in the Senate yesterday without action, and was not agreed to, as reported. In the course of his remarks on the resolution yes- ferday, speaking of the Commissioners’ letter upon the subject of gas in the District, Mr. Van Wyck said that people deprecate labor troubles while an irre; ible conflict: between organized capital and organized labor is belng forced by dy corpora tions, Loosen, he said, the hold of’ this “devil fish” upon the People and there willbe no trouble. He said a bill was recently introduced to provide that where accrued taxes in this District amount to more than the value of the property payment of its value may be taken; that the remainder of the man’s property need not be confiscated. Aud yet he said there are millions of bank’ property not paying any taxes while poor people’s homes are being con- fiscated. He referred to the oppression of street car employes, and condemned the Commis- sioners for not having taken up measures for the people’s relief, instead of having endeay- ored to fasten oppression upon them, THE LINCOLN MONUMENT BILL. The bill appropriating $500,000 to erect a monument to the memory of Abraham Lincoln in this city, provides for a commission compos- ed of three Senators and three members of the ‘House to select a site, contract for the monu- ment, and have it erected, Capitol Topics.

Upon examination of the wounded Tum it was found that no bones were broken, IN JUSTICE To SENATOR HARRISON. By an inadvertence in condensing a report of the pension commissioner's investigation last Wednesday, THE STAR reporter omitted to in- sert after the names of Senator Harrison and Gov. Foster, the name of the writer of another letter. This omission made it appear that Senator Harrison had commended the political services of the pension claimant, whereas, the letter to that effect was written by’ the claimant’s son, and not by the Senator. NAVAL DRY DOCKS. Secretary Whitney’s suggestion for the con- struction of three dry docks for the use of the navy was ugreed to _by the House naval affairs committee to-day. The bill agreed to provides fora commission to decide upon the sites for the docks and gives them the discretion to con- struct a fourth at some point upon the coast. Each of the docks will cost_$600,000, and the idea is that one will be at Norfolk, one at New York and one at League Island, ‘THE COST OF FOLDING DOCUMENTS, In the Senate yesterday Mr. Gorman submit- ted a resolution directing the Secretary of the Interior to furnish to the Senate the names of all persons employed in receiving, folding and dis- tributing public documents, together with a statement of the cost of tolding and distributing documents for the years 1883, 1884 and 1885. THE VERMONT SENATORS DIFFER. It is reported that in the caucus ot republican Senators yesterday, there was a tilt between the two Vermont Senators on the question of confirming internal revenue collectors, Mr. Mor- rill, chairman Of the tinance committee, having rted favorably on nominations which Mr. munds thought ought not to ve confirmed, TO PENSION PRISONERS OF WAR. ‘The House committee on invalid pensions to- day instructed Representative Morrill toreport favorably bill to pension prisoners of war. ‘The bill provides that all persons in the service of the United States during the war of the re- bellion who were prisoners of war for sixty days or more and who are now suffering from any disability which can reasonably be pre- sumed to be the result of exposure and hard- ships endured while in confinement as prison- ers of war, and not the result of own misconduct or vicious habits shall bo entitled to pension at the rates now provided by law for similar disabilities, This act, however, shall not allow any person to receive more than one pension. ‘The bill further provides that all per sons in the military or naval service of the United States who ‘were rs of war for more than a be entitled to: ir pope eer et ’ NorEs. ‘The Senate was not In session to-day.

Republicans Disagree as to the Course to be Pursued in Reference to Nomi- nations, AN ATTEMPT TO HARMONIZE—THE QUESTION OF REMOVAL OF EX-SOLDIERS TO GIVE PLACE TO CIVILIANS, ETC. Immediately after the adoption of the Ed- munds resolutions THE Stax made known the fact that there was a difterence of opinion among republican Senatorsas to their construe- tion. Some of the republicans did not regard the resolutions as binding them to any definite policy in voting upon nominations to supersede suspended officials. The course of the finance committee In proposing to confirm appoint- ments for internal revenul collectors upon the ground to be publicly declared that the changes from republicans to democrats had been made for political reasons and did not involve any Accusations against the deposed officials, em- Phasized the difference of opinion and led'to a caucus. Besides contending for the rejection of appointments made in cases of suspension, and Where the papers are refused, Mr. Edmunds and other Senators declared tliat in a number of instances gallant ex-soldiers had been re- moved and civilians appointed in their stead, and that this violated one of the resolutions Which was adopted by a nearly unanimous Yote—that declaring that in appointments the preference sliould be given toex-soldiers. The caucus developed the fact yesterday that some of the republican Senators are not willing to be bound to a wholesale policy with reference to nominations; that they hold it the duty of the Senate to consider each nomination and dis- Pose of it upon the merits or demerits of the case. Failing to reach any conclusion yester- day, the caucus adjourned until io-day. It ‘was largely attended, and the subject of the pending nominations for revenue col- lectors and what should be done with them was resumed. The policy of the finance com- mittee in behalf of the confirmation of col- lectors where the admission is made that no charges were laid against the suspended offi- cial and that the change was made on political grounds was defended by Mr. Morrill and others as the proper one. Under it no injus- tice could be done to the removed official, and itwas stated that the good of the service de- manded that the pending eases should be dis- ed of. Pir, Bdmunds submitted his views and other Senators followed expressing. thelr, ideas, re- spectively, with regard to the Senate's duty in acting upon nominations. There was a dispo- sition manifested to arrive at some definite line Of policy; to reach Some agreement that would keep the majority togethe! ee —_ Comfort for District Employes. COMMISSIONER WHEATLEY THINKS THERE IS A VERY EFFICIENT ORGANIZATIO’ ‘The new District Commissioner, Mr. Wheat- ley, got a fair taste today of the joys and sor- rows of public office. There were many dele- gations and callers at the District buildings to see the Commissioners on various matters of business. “I don’t see what time I will have to attend to business here,” sald Mir. Wheatley toa STAR reporter, “I think Iwill have to tuke these papers to my home, when I go,” and he pointed toa collection of papers of different kinds that lettered his desk. When asked what his policy would be, Mr. Wheatley said: “It is my desire todo what I can to make the District. govern- ment as efficient and satisfactory as itcan be. Z intend to apply business prinelples to the duties of my office, so far as I can.” When asked whether there were any grounds for the reported uneasiness among District off- clals and employes Tespecting their ofliclas heads, Mr. Wheatley smiled and said: “I have enough to do at present to master the details of my own official position without bothering myself about olber ofilcers. Sotar as Tean learn there is a very effictent organization here. Ihave already,” he added, referring to papers on his desk, “a number of’ applications before me, but ] cannot consider them at present.” Colored Men at the White House. THE PRESIDENT TO REVIEW THE EMANCIPA- TION CELEBRATION PARADE. A delegation“of citizens from the emancipa- tion committee called on the President this morning, in reference to the celebration of the ‘24th anniversary of the emancipation of siaves in the District of Columbia, The committee consistea of W. Calvin Chase, spokesman; Col, 'T. 8S. Kelly, C. H. Marshall, chief marshal of the celebration, and K. F. Williams. After a chat with Colonel Lamont, he directed one of the messengers to present Mr. Chase’s card to the President. Atter waiting a few minutes the delegation was invited into the President's re- ception room, and each member was introduced to the President by Mr. Chase, who congrata- lated him on the appointment of Mr, Matthews as recorder of deeds, and hoped that he wouid not stop, but contiiue to give the colored peo- ple recognition, and that they were highly ratified with his policy. In conclusion, Mr, hase requested the President to review the emancipation procession, April 16th, which will consist of the Baltimore and Washington militia and 51 civic organizations in this city. ‘The President said that he would review the procession with pleasure, and hoped that it would be a success on the rt of the colored people, He was aiso pleased to know that Mr. Matthews’ appointment was gratifying to that race, The delegation leit delighted with the kind reception it received from the President and Colonel Lamont. The Logan-Teller Unpleasantness. AN OUTGROWTH OF THE CONFIRMATION OF SURVEYOR-GENERAL DEMENT, It appears that the attacks made in the Sen- ate upon Gen. Logan, in connection with his bill to increase the efficiency of the army, were not, as was stated, prompted by any instigation of rival presidential aspirants, but were the direct outgrowth of the confirmation of Sur- ‘veyor-General Dement. After taking testimony 4n the ease the public lands committee submntt- ted a practically unarimous report recommend- ing that Dement be not confirmed. Senator Lo- ganexerted his influence with such effect that he got Dement confirmed, despite the commit- tee's report. According to the testimony before the committee Dement had uttered the most reckless charges against Senator Teller. When called before the committee he undertook to deny such utterances, but the entire commit- tee were satisfied that he had given circulation to slanderous accusations against Senator Tel- ler. The latter naturally felt personally resent- ful against Dement, and Senator Plumb, as chairman of the committee, felt no little inter- est in having Dement rejected. It was Messrs, Plumb and Teller who made speecies upon the army bill which were construed by Gen. Logan to be personally offensive, and which he replied to in a like vein, So that whatever of personal feeling exists is ‘ascribed by those claiming to know the truth to the Dement case and Gen, Logan's action in procuring the confirmation of aman who had recklessly slandered @ brother Senator, and not to the influence of any rival presidential candidate. ——————— The District Funded Debt Bonds.
