Among the petitionsand memorials presented and referred were the following: By Mr. Edmunds—From a branch of the Woman’s relief board of Salt Lake City, re- monstrating against any action of Congress looking to the admission of Utah as a state.

THE TARIFF BILL. The Senate then resumed consideration of the tariff bill. Mr. Allison, going back to paragraph 134, as to chains, moved to amend it by reducing the rate on chains ‘less than three-eights of one inch in diameter” from 8 to 234 cents per pound. He stated that this was the rate waler existing law. told a Star reporter to-day that the Sun's preference wascorrect.

Dr. Har- rold read the funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Schofield as they lay in the apartments of the general at the Richmond. A few inti- mate friends were present beside the general, his son and daughter, and staff. Among the floral offerings sent by friends was a beautiful cross and crown from Mrs. Cleveland. After the services the remains were taken to the Bal- timore and Potomac station and placed on the 10 o'clock train, which bore them to New York and thence to West Point, accompanied by the family and aides. The honorary pall-bearers were Admirals Carter, Rodgers, Franklin and Febiger, and Gens. Meigs, Augur, Townshend and Sweitzer. The body-bearers were eight soldiers from Washington barracks.

Mr. Vance asked whether the proposed reduc- tion included trace chains, and what the equiva- lent ad valorem rate was, Mr. Allison conceded that it did, and said that the equivalent ad valorem rate was 44.37 per cent at the present price. Mr. Vance moved to amend the amendment by making the rate 30 per cent ad valorem, and he read letters from New York importing houses stating that the present rate (23¢ cents Per pound) had been practically prohibitory for many years.- He suggested that the only motive for fixing the rate so high was to give American manufacturers of trace chains a chance to put up prices by excluding foreign competition. Mr. Allison said that the amendment which he had proposed was the existing law, and that under it quite a number of chains were im- ported, but -obably only the finer chains, Mr. Vance » amendment was rejected—yeas, 19; nays, 21; and Mr. Allison’s amendment was agreed to without a division. THE COTTON CLAUSE. The bill was then taken up at the point where it had been left when last before the Senate (Schedule I, ‘cotton manufactures), the ques- tion being on the amendment offered by Mr. Vest to reduce the duty on cotton thread, yarn, warps, & ‘valued at not exceeding 25 cents per pound,” from 10 cents per pound to 85 per cent ad valorem. ——$_ + 4 Tae New Year Haxpssaxrxo.—When the White House doors were finally closed to the public yesterday afternoon, the President had shaken hands with fully 8,000 people, beating Mrs, Cleveland's record by about 1 000, she having given up quarters of an hour be- fore the end. In the thickest of the crowd the rate of shaking was fully sixty a minute, the normal rate —< about fifty, and the average for the day, in the neighborhood of 40. A halt was called at 3 o'clock, all of the people inside the doors having shaken hands, and the receiving party then passed up stairs. ‘Tue Surrrixe Leacve will meet at Willard’s January 30.

Mr. Thompson (Ohio) saw no necessity for the adoption of the amendment, as the course rescribed by the pension bureau for the secur- g of an increase of pension was one which could be followed by the applicant without the Assi ice of an attorney. Mr. Cannon (Ill.) thought that the bill in ite esent form might have the effect of denying B worthy pensioners the increase of pension to which they were justly entitled by prohibit- ing them from entering into a contract with an attorney to prosecute their claims.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING 8taR. Loxpox, Jan. 2.—The severity with which the crimes act is again being administered is attributed in some quarters to the recent gov- ernment successes at Colchester and Stockton. The indignation over the sentence of Harring- ton and Finucane, particularly the former, is very great. Itis alleged that Magistrate Roche acted under direct instructions from Dublin Castle in sentencing Harrington to the fullest possible term and refusing to state the case for the superior court, as he was bound to do un- less the application was merely frivolous. What gives special importance to Harrington's case is the fact that the Parnellites will be deprived of his assistance during the remainder of the commission sittings.
