THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL Leads to Sharp Discussion in the House, Fe ED BUSINESS IN THE SENATE. Sales Oe ‘The Senate. Mr. Edmunds, trom the committee on foreign re- lations, reported back, adversely, the bill intro- duced by Mr, Farwell directing the President to jaake proclamation proulbiting the importation of products of foreign states in certain cases, and stated that the ground of the adverse report Was that the substance of the same provisions con- tained im the bill was, with greater amplification and wider powers, embraced in a bill which passed the Senate this session (concerning the exporta- Uuon of meats, €c.), and which was now pending iu the House of Representatives. A PENSION BILL VETORD. A message Was read from the President return ing without his approval a bill for a pension to a widow, on the ground that her husband’s death ‘Was from consumption, and was not in any man- ner connected with his military service, although a “female physician” of Washington had ¢ ried that death bad resulted from wounds received 11 the Army. ‘The bill and message Were referred to the counittee on pensions, Mr. Morgan, from tue committee on foreign relations, reported a bili to amend and eularge the act Of 15th June, 178, providing for the distribu- Uon Of the awards iuade under the convention with Mexico of 4th July, 1868, Placed on the ealendar. A minority report Was made and argued by Mr. Brown. The readin of Mr. Brown's manuscripts occu- pled more Uban an hour, the only attentive listen €r3 belug Senators Morgan aad Voorhees, Whe le had concluded, jorgan asked that the DIL and (he reports bé lald on ‘the table and printed, (ustead of golug on the ceiendar), and said that he would reply to Mr. Brown's argument to-mor- row. THE FRANKLIN STATUR. Mr. Voorhees introduced a joint resolution au- thorizing the Commissioners for the District of Columbia to designate a site for a statue of Benja- min Frankiln (presented by Mr. Stilson Hutchins), and it Was passed. A motion heretofore made by Mr. Vance to re- consider the vote passing a jolt resolution to amend the act of 15th June, 1882, chaugiug the boundaries of the fourtli collécuon alstriet or Vir gina, Was withdrawn. Senlate Dill appropriating $50,000 for a public building at Staunton, Va., was, on motion of Mr. Daniel, taken up and passed. Mr. Frye presented the petition of the “Consti- tutional Derence Association of America,” agalnst the ratification of the fisheries treaty, House blll appropriating $50,000° to complete the public building at Wichita, Kan., was, on motion of Mr. Pluiub, taken up ‘and passed, with an amendment Increasing the appropriation to $100,000. ‘rhe Senate then took up tne private pension bills on the calendar and passed ail of them, 92 in number. The Senate then at 2:30 adjourned. Nomin: ‘To-day. ‘The President has sent the following nomina- tons to the Senate: John F. Phillips, of Missourt, to be United States district Judge for the western district of Missouri. James G. Jenkins, of Wisconsin, to be United States district Judge’ for tue western district of Wisconsin, Edwoud Mallet, of New York, to bean Indian tn- spector. Mouse of Repreventatives. The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President returning, without his ap- proval, a private pension bill for the relief of Ellz- abeth Burr, ‘Three-quarters of an hour was spent in the effort to displace certain private pension bills, which had been made the special order for to-day, aud their consideration was fually post- poned Tor two weeks. THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. ‘The House then went into committee of the Whole on the sundry civil appropriation bill, “SPECIAL AGENTS” DENOUNCED. In the course of the debate upon the item rela- ting to special agents Mr. McShane (Neb.) favored a reduction of the appropriation from $100,000 to $50,000. He sald he wanted less money placed in the hands of special agents to procure false aMmda- Vits by Dribery and to persecute settlers, instead Of prosecuting fraud. He knew of these Ulugs being done in the West, Mr. Laird (Neb,) bitterly denounced the past policy of the General Land Oftce, especially when under that man Who “President Cleveland had the nerve, courage, and manhood to take by the neck and Sling Out Of office.” He, ulso, knew of the nefarious operations of these special agents, and cited Instances where, he said, they had used false aMdavits. ‘The acts of these men were outtageous and Infamous. Rivers Harbors, A REPORT IN FAVOR OF THE HOUSE BILL. Senator Frye submitted to-day his report on the river and harbor bill, It says the bill exceeds by $2,800,000 the largest appropriation ever made in ariver and harbor bill, but as no bill was passed last session, and none fs likely to pass in the short session following the presidential election, this Dill practically repre-ents « period of tree ‘years on a basis of $7,000,000 a year, which 13 consider ably less than the average expenditure of recent years, ‘The report says the first river and harbor Appropriation was made in 1822, and amounted to 22700, and that from that Ume to date the aggregate of appropriations 1s 161,000,000. ‘There ts, 1 Says, HOU one of the great maritime nations Which does uot expend more in proportion to its harbors and seacoast than We do. France expends $20,000,000 annually, and En- land, WIth Only 1,300 miles of coast, expends a hike sim. By this bill only $4,209,200" are appro- priated for our 23,000 miles of stormy and’ dan gerous coast. ‘The report states that the domestic produce moved an. exchanged in this country through the medium of the inland water ways amounts to twenty-flve or thirty thousand ‘million dollars annually, and that the vast and wonderful in- crease in internal commerce 1s materially duc to the expenditures of the Federal Government in water-way improvements. It argues that the opening of new regions and the cheapening of transportation more than justify the expendi- tures, and that the 80 per cent of the money expended in this way goes to the wage-earners of the country, and ts, therefore, more fairly distributed and ‘more quickly restored to circula- tion than through any other channel, Capitol Topics. IN THR HOUSE, YESTERDAY after THE Stax’s report closed, the remainder of the afternoon Was spent in the consideration of the two paragraphs of the sundry civil Dill relating to salaries of registers and receivers and contingent expenses of land offices Messrs. Blanchard (La.), Herman (Oreg.), Vandever (Cal), and others assailed the appro- Priations committee for alleged inadequacy of appropriations for the Land Office, and Mr. Bla: chard secured the passage of an amendment, 1 ereasing the appropriation for salaries and com- missions of registers and receivers from $500,000 to $524,000, ‘The committee then rose, and atier Passing a Dill authorizing the appointment of an additional associate Justice for the Territory of Dakota, the House, at five o'clock adjourned, SENATORIAL COURTESY. ‘The Senate thts afternoon presented a scene Rot often witnessed in that body where courtesy 18 held to be a paramount duty. Senator Brown had written speech on the Mexican claims—the Weil and La Abra cases. Owing to his weak physical condition he was permitted to remain situng while he read. He read in a very low tone of voice, and utterances ~ could not be heard At the clerk's desk, ‘The few Senators Who were present busied” themselves in writing, reading or in conversation. Not one Was listening. Senator Voorhees, observing tis, took a seat (6 the left of Senator’ Brown aud the latter wheeled his chair so as to face the Senator from InGlana and turn bis side toward the Presl- dent pro tempore. From the galleries tt looked a8 Af there were a recess, a8 the Senator who was Speaking could not be heard above the floor. COMMISSIONER SPARKS ATTACKED AND DRFENDED. In the course of a debate the House to-day upon appropriations for the General Land OMice, Mr. Laird, of Nebraska, attacked Gen. Sparks, late Jand "commissioner. Mr. Weaver defended’ Gen, Sparks. He eulogized him in the highest of terms and concluded with the assertion: **There 18 not land-grabber in the country Who will not indorse the remarks of the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. MY. ECONOMY. Representative Randall, chairman of the appro- Priations committee, to-day quite effectually ‘Squeiched amendments to increase a] in the sundry civil bill. He said the tained power and the nation by their enforce economy in public expenditures; that the democratic majority in the House was a result of these pledges, and he appealed to the democrats to stand by the major.ty of tne. apprupriations com, mittee In its efforts to enforce ‘economy. He sald the committee had spent months in examin- Lis ts at to ‘tug into the needs of the public service, and its recommendations were based upon a know! oe areas ‘amendments to TESTING ANEMOMETERS. Relat! Between the Movement o} Wind and Whirii; Cups, ‘The odd-looking machine that stood in the court of the War Department and puzzled the clerks has Deen taken down and carted off. It was, asstated in THR STAR some days ago, intended to test the anemometers in use by the Signal Service, and to determine the co-efficient of relation between tue Velocity and pressure of the wind and the motion of the anemometer cups. A Stax reporter, who happened to be passing through the court this morning, noticed that the machine was being de- molished, and asked Prof. Hazen, of the Signal Service, who was superintending the operation, if the experlinents had been concluded, “We did not intend,” he said, “to conclude our experiments here, but only to test the machine democrats almost ported Mr. Randall in votng down ‘appropriations, Diehiman & Link's plano-case factory and Links & Codinge’s box factory in Ws ‘Street, ‘ork, were badiy damaged by fire yesterday: and lo get tt into Working order. We have made Very satisfactory progress. What we Want Is a place where te air 1s absolutely still, Here it 13 hot, although this 1s as nearly an ideal location as haps it is possible to get, unless we should muild a shed. We aiscover ONE VERY PACULIAR CIRCUMSTANCE about the draughts. One morning we came over here at 4 o'clock, The air outside was a dead calm, not aleaf stirring, and yet inside there was avery perceptible movement in the air. We set Up a Standard from which lines of red tape hung, nd found that the air was in constant motion, We accounted for thts by the fact that the court had become greatly heated the day betore and the air was now rising and being forced out by the cooler, denser atmosphere from the outside that ca e into the court by means of the Wo carrlage- Ways. IL formed a sort of funnel. We bave in View a Spot that We think will prove all we can desire, and then we will begin work in earnest in our attempt to discover the exuct relation between the movement of the wind and the Widrling of the cups. Tbelleve that we shall be able to obtain Some valuable data. ‘Tis machine is very good— in fact, the Lest that could be devised for the pure pose. “Phe arm is 28 feet long. ‘This lengtu gives the best results. “Similar experiments were tried In about 1850, but the arin Was only 4 feet in length. ‘Sucu a length ts not conducive of good resllits, a3 in that case the arm would have to be Wwaitled so rapidly in order to obtain the desired speed that the entire body of air around 1t would be set in mouon, With the iong arm the alr 1s scarcely stirred, a3 is shown by Ube tapes We hang near its cireulaf orbit.” — Society Notes. ‘The marriage of Miss Matilda Emory, daughter of Mrs, Campbell D.

Undoubtedly there 1s a strong Blaine sentiment in the crowd. Another thing, equally certain, 1s that a very determined effort 1s being made on the part of conservative men to counteract It, KEEPING UP THE BLAINE SHOUT.
