Mr. Cullom’s Resolutions in the Senate, DEFICIENCY BILL IN THE HOUSE. ‘Mr. Vest offered a concurrent resolution (which ‘Was agreed to) requesting the President to return to the Senate the enrolied bill amendatory of the Statutes to punish postal crimes. OUR COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH CANADA. ‘Mr. Cullom offered a resolution instructing the committee on interstate commerce to ascertain and report whether aay United States railroad lines are owned, operated or controlled by the Grand Trunk or the Canadian Pacific or any other Canadian railway companies. Also, whether com- merce originating In the United States ia diverted from American to Canadian lines, to What, extent and in What manner. Also, whether any discrim- ination 1s practiced in the charges for tolls against American vessels in the Welland and St, Lawrence canals. Also, to inquire Into the ques- tion of the regulation of commerce carried on by railroad or waterways between the United States and Canada, ‘The committee 1s to report what legislation 1s necessary for the protection of the cominercial in- terests of the United States, and to promote the enforcement of the intersigte commerce act. MR, CULLOM SAYS SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. ‘Mr. Cullom said that he had, some days ago, of- fered a resolution in the same line, but he had ‘since then concluded that the investigation should have a wider scope than was therein proposed. He would not undertake to say in advance what the situation was, fully, but _he had investigated the subject enough to Satisfy hin that the com- mercial interests of the United States (and he might almost say its honor) demanded that something should be done to protect American interests ‘against the encroachments of Canadian corporations. ‘The Canadian Pacific Rallway ran from Halifax and Quebec (skirting along the St. Lawrence River and the northern border of the United States) to Vancouver, on the Pacific, and Was reaching into the United States by the’ pur- chase or buliding of raliroads In this country—for instance, lines from Sault Ste Marte to Duluth and Minneapolis, which were to be feeders to the Cana~ dian Pacific, In addition to ali that, the British government or the Canadian government had re- cenuly SUBSIDIZED A LINE OF STEAMERS TO CHINA AND JAPAN for the purpose of securing the commerce between those countries and the United States and Europe. Whatever might be the exact facts in these mat- ters, all Senators would agree that whatever could be done consistently with the relations between the two governments, and under the Constitution Of the United States, ought to be done, 30 that the commerce between’ Cuina and Japan and the United states shall be carried on American roads instead of Canadian roads. His purpose in offer. ing the resolution and having an investi. ation of the subject was that some egislation might be recommended to secure to the people of the United states the advantages which they ought to have in this@ransportation, ‘The purpose of the recent subsidy of £60,000 a year lo aline of three steamships on the Pacific from the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Was to give to the Canadian Pacific the business which Would naturally come to the Union Pactti the Northern Pacific, or the Southern Pacific, an the result, so far, had been that 42 per cent of the tea consuined in'this country was carried by the Canadian Pacitic, Mr. Hoar inquired as to the fact of the subst- dized ‘steamers being convertible into ships-of- ar. Mir. Edmunds—The British government always requires that. BRINGING IX FOUR THOUSAND CHINESE A MONTH. Mr. Mitchell—I can give another item. This subsidized line of steamers is bringing in Chinese at the rate of 4,000 a month, and they are pouring down in a great variety of streams into the United States through British Columbia, SENATOR GORMAN SUPPORTED THE RESOLUTION, declaring that it was time Senators Joined, irre- spective of party, in wresting the trade of the United states from aliens who, by means of subsidized corporations, were absorb- ing it, He said that leading citizens of the United states, in shaping: affairs, some of Whom — were candidates for high office, are lending their efforts, as they had a perfect legal right Lo do, to the promotion of this Canadian rail- Toad scheine, He read a lst, of officers and directors of one of the “roads, which, he said, is designed to récetve at Part of thé bounty paid by the British govern- nent, among the naines being that of Levi P, Mor- ton and of Wm. L. Scott, of Erle, Pa. ‘THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED. ‘Tne discussion took a somewhat political and Somewhat personal turn, particularly in the re- marks of Senators Gorman and Edmunds. Finally the discussion came to a close and the resolution Was adopted without a division. House of Representatives, ‘The Speaker laid before the House a letter from Gov. Green, of New Jersey, presenting to the Con- gress, mm the name of the state of New Jersey, statues of Richard Stockton and Philip Kearney, to be placed in Statuary Hall, in the Capitol, On moun of Mr, Phelps (N.

Mr. Laird (Neb.) offered an amendment appro- priating $1,300,000 to pay arrears of soldiers’ boun- tes and back pay. ‘Mr. Burnes (Mo.) raised a point of order the amendment, Se reas ATTACKING THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE. ‘Mr. Reed (Me), attacking the appropriations committee, denied that the committee had saved the Government one-fourth of one- tenth of 1 per cent in revising we action of Government officials, Everybod: Knew that these officials sat down. with the deli @rate purpose of defeating clalins wherever possible, It had come to that pass tha not a bill for a public Dullding, not an appropriation, for the Army or avy could go jess 1b was it in by the appropriations committee, "=> "TOUS {t Was not the way to conduct the Government; not the way to treat the Army and Navy; it 15 Rot a ducent Way Lo treat the creditors of thie Gov. ernment Alter debate the chairman ruled that the ‘amendment was out of order. ‘The New Jereey Republicans.

PARNELLITES LEAVE THE HOUSE WHILE THE LAST CLAUSES OF THE PARNELL COMMISSION BILL ARE CARRIED. In the house of commons last night, replying to Mr. Healy, Mr. Goschen said that Mr. W. H. Smith had not interviewed the editor of the 7¥mes; that he had not seen him, and that he had held no communications with him regarding the commis- ston. Mr. Goschen then moved that the debate Proceed on the Dill to investigate the chi against the Parnellites if it were still under dis- cussion at midnight. To this the house agreed. He next moved that the chairman shall have power at 1 o'clock in the morning to put the re- Mnaining clauses.
