TO SHUT BLAINE OUT. Capitalists With Foreign Interests Op- pose His Going Into the Cabinet. It was current rumor around the capitol to- day that a new opposition to Blaine as a cabi- net officer has arisen, It can be found among the New York importers and among the capi- talists who have foreign interests, These are the same men who, in 1884, openly voted for Cleveland because they disapproved of Blaine’s South American policy. They claim that the presence of Blaine in the cabinet as Secretary of State would unsettle business to a very con- siderable extent. Gen, Harrison has, it is said, been informed of this opposition, and when Senator Hiscock was in Indiana olis the talked the matter over. Boston and Philadel. phia importers are said to have joined hands with their New York brethren in the endeavor to shut Blaine out of President Harrison's political family. THE CASE OF GEN. SWAIM. Efforts to Secure His Pardon from the President. The friends of Gen. Swaim are more hopeful of securing his pardon by the President. His friends generally contend that his conviction by court-martial was not warranted. But, lay- ing aside this, the curious state of affairscaused by his suspension for twelve yeara, which per- mits of no one being appointed to the judge advocate generalship of the army and yet leaves that position unoccupied, requires that something should be done in the matter. If Gen, Swaim continues under sentence for the fall term of twelve years the office must be va- cant that long. Several conferences have been held with the President on the subject. Sat- ore A ageest oe Voorhees, Judge Momineery and Representatives Butterworth and Gros- venor had a long talk with the President, and though he gave them no assurances of any sort ope t the pardon. It is thought that the will be ted, and that Gen. Swaim will then be retired and an a be made to the position of judge vocate general. Interior Department Changes. The following official changes have been made in the Department of the Interior: Pension: bon a Wm. K. holmes,of Ohio, clerk, $1,000. ‘Two Men Escape the Gallows. AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. THE STRUGGLE IN THE HOUSE | Another Day Wasted in Fillibustering. THE TARIFF BILL IN THE SENATE. ica hallo The Senate. The House amendments to the Nicaragua canal bill were, on motion of Mr. Shorman, non-concurred in, and a conference was asked. Senators Sherman, Edmunds, and Morgan were appointed conferees on the part of the | Senate. House bill for the relief of the Albemarle | and Chesapeake canal company was reported back favorably from the committee on naval affairs and was placed on the calendar. THE TARIFF BILL TAKEN UP. The Senate at 12:20 resumed consideration of the tariff bill, the pending question being on Mr. Vance’s amendment that the duty on no | article in schedule J (flax, hemp, and jute) | shall exceed 50 per cent ad valorem. The amendment was rejected—yeas 18, nays Mr. Brown voting with the democrats in the affirmative. THE SILK CLAUSE. Schedule K (wool and the manufactures of | wool) was, at the request of Mr. Allison, passed | over informally and schedule L (silk and silk goods) was taken up. MR, WANAMAKER'’S SUIT. Mr. Vest interrupted the reading at para- graph 375, in relation to velvets and plushes (including ribbons), and asked whether that was the item involved in the suit between Mr. John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, and the government. He said that Mr. Wanamaker’s contention was that ribbons came in under an- | other clause in regard to trimmings for bon- i nets, which paid a less duty. He saw by to- day’s papers that the suit had been decided in favor of Mr. Wanamaker, and that an appeal had been taken to the Supreme Court. He had also seen it stated that Mr. Wanamaker was manufacturing such goods in Berlin, although he was one of the most distinguished advocates of American labor and American workingmen, Mr. Aldrich stated that the suit referred to was in reference to the proper construction of | paragraph 448 in Schedule N of cxisting law, | The defect in existing law was radicaliy cured by the substitute. On motion of Mr, Aldrich, paragraph 375 was amended by striking out the words *‘weigh- ing notless than one ounce nor more than eight ounces per square yard.” IN THE INTEREST OF THE POOR, Mr. Vest said he had not thought proper to object to the paragraphs increasing the exist- ing rates on silk goods, because they were luxuries, and his sympathies in the entire matter were with the poorer classes. He be- lieved that the burdens of taxation should fa'l as lightly as possible on the poorer people and should be imposed on those who are able and willing to bear them. a : i Mr. Allison—That is the general purpose idea of the Senate bill. args eo Mr. Ves! do not accept that statement at all. I believe that the bill is in the interest of the manufacturers, without regard to the inter- est of the consumers, Mr. Vest sent to the | the Oklahoma folk: THE HOUSE FILIBUSTERS. If They Persist They Will Make an Extra Session Inevitable. ACTIVE FRIENDS OF THE OKLAHOMA BILL—DE- TERMINED TO PUSH THE MEASURE EVEN IF REGULAR APPROPRIATION BILLS ARE DE- FEATED—THE REPUBLICANS SERENE, It looks as if recommitting the resolution to prevent filibustering on suspension Mondays has not relieved the House from its embarrass- ment, The friends of the Oklahoma bill have made up their minds that no business‘ shall be transacted until this bill is voted on or until a day for the vote is set. Yesterday afternoon the Smalls-Elliott con! ‘d election case was called up, but it was atonce antagonized by the Oklahoma bill, and the rest of the day to the hour of adjournment was wasted in fili- bustering. Having failed to secure a change in the rules so as to place some restrictions on the power of obstructionists the Oklahoma folks are going to try giving the House an exhibi- tion of the PRACTICAL WORKINGS OF THE PRESENT RULES. They declare that they might as well use up the time of the House fighting against the abuse of minority power, as to let it be con- doing nothing. They intend to take advantage of every opportunity the rules offer for ob- structing legislation until they can have their will. If this plan is carried ‘to its utmost, as Gen. Weaver proposes it shall, it will make AN EXTRA SESSION OF THE FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS UNAVOIDABLE, and fix the responsibility for it on this House. It is the purpose of Gen, Weaver to antagonize appropriation bills as well as all others, and such a course, if in any measure successful, would be the to result in the failure of one or more of these bills, The House appropriations com- mittee has completed all of its regular annual appropriation bills, and_ passed three of them through the House, None of the appropria- tion bills from the other committees have passed, The military, the navy, the post-of- fice, and Indian bills have not yet been re- ported to the House. The navy'bill has not even been reported to the full committee. FATE OF THE APPROPRIATION BILLS. But the appropriation bills on the calendar now could easily occupy the Honse until the others are ready, and if acted on as promptly as were those that have already been consid- ered, there would be no dificulty in passing all in season to give the Senate them. These threatened Rilaye y filibuster- ing, however, make it look extremely doubt- ful that this much can be accomplished. If eas strong and deter- mined as Gen. Ws they are, all the appropriation bills will be blocked until Oklahoma is recognized. ATTITUDE OF THE REPUBLICANS. The extra session sentiment is very strong among the republicans, as has already been made apparent. They expect the Fifty-first Congress to be called together in April or May anyhow, but if they could charge the responsi- bility upon this House it would be made more easy for them. This fact, together with the general feeling of disgust on the part of Mr. Tteed and his associates at the failure of the committee on rules’ resolution, will be calcu- lated tomake them anything but anxious to help the democ~s out of the difficulty. If that party suffers trom the minority power they have decided to uphold. Mr. Reed wiil not clerk’s desk and had read a newspaper inter- view with one of the largest corset manufac- turers in New York to show HOW THE TARIFF PINCHED. He said that an approximate estimate of the changes proposed in the substitute showed an increase of revenue to the amount of a million Aollars; and that that was in the interest Qf manufacturers alone. Mr. Aldrich stated that the silk schedule had been prepared at the Treasury Deparment by ‘Treasury experts, and was intended to be (ex- cept in regard to silk corsets) simply « trans- lation of the existing ad valorem rates into specific or compound rates, House of Representatives. DILATORY PROCEEDINGS RENEWED TO-DAY. That Mr. Weaver (Iowa,) is earnest in his in- tention to do all in his power to prevent the House from accomplishing any business until ithas finally acted upon the Oklahoma bill was demonstrated this morning. Immediately after the chaplain’s prayer, Mr. Weaver called the Speaker's attention to the first rule of the House, which directs that officer, after calling the House toorder,*‘to cause, upon the appear- ance of a quorum, the journal of the last day’s sitting to be read.” He raised the point of order that the journal could not be read until it was apparent that a quorum was in attend- ance, The Speaker sustained the point, and di- rected the clerk to call the roll. HALF AN HOUR WAS FRITTERED AWAY before a quorum could be secured to vote down this motion, which Mr. Weaver instantly sup- plemented with a motion for a recess until 2:30. Messrs. Crisp (Ga.), and Weaver (Iowa), were appointed tellers and soo ernie each other as the members lazily passed between them. Mr. Reed (Me.). sarcastically asked (having in mind the speech made by Mr. Crisp st the proposition of the committee on rules to change the rules) whether the gentleman from Georgia kuew of anything else that could be done to protect the rights of the minority? Mr. Crisp pleasantly responded that the gen- tleman from Georgia had said nothing to indi- cate that he was at all objecting to the present feel it his duty to come to their relief. If an extra session is made necessary by filibustering it will cause him no concern. CAPITOL TOPICS. ARCTIC EXPLORERS. A favorable report was made to-day by Sena- tor Chandler, from the committee on naval af- fairs, on the bill authorizing the President to advance Chief Engineer George Wallace Mel- ville, U. 8. N., one grade, The act also appro- priates money to defray the expense of strik- ing memorial medals, which are to be bestowed upon all the survivors of the Jeannette expedi- tion. enator Chandler, from the committee on al affairs, to-day reported without amend- ment the House bill authorizing the readjust- ment of the accounts of Wm. F.C. Nindemann, who served on the Arctic exploring steamer Jeannette. THE LEGION OF HONOR. Senator Saulsbury, from the committee on foreign relations, reported favorably a joint resolution authorizing Capt. George 8. Ander- son, sixth cavalry, to accept from the president of the French republic a diploma conferring the decoration of chevalier of the National Order of the Legion of Honor. IRRIGATION OF ARID LAND IN NEW MEXICO, The Joseph bill ‘‘to promote the interests of agriculture by irrigation and to encourage the settlement of the arid land in New Mexico,” was mede a special order for next Wednesday at the meeting of the committee onagriculture this morning. This bill was introduced in the last session of Congress, and creates the Jor- nada and El Paso Reservoir and Canal com- pany, a corporation whose object is to con- struct and maintain a series of storage reser- voirs, together with a canal and laterals, for the irrigation of arid or desert lands on the “Jornada Del Nuerto,” and in the Messilla and RioGrande valleys of southern New Mexico and Texas, for the promotion of agriculture, horticulture, stock raising, &c. The stock of the company is not to exceed $10,000,000. The bill appropriates $25,000 to defray the expenses of the survey, location, and maps of the reser- voir and laterals. REPORTS FROM THE COMMITTEE ON NAVAL AFFAIRS, Senator Cameron, from the committee on procedure. “How does the minority feel about it?” queried Mr, Payson (Iils.), addressing himuelf to Mr. Weaver. Mr. Weaver—This is A FIGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE MAJORITY. It took the House a quarter of an hour to de- termine that it did not desire a recess until 2:30, and then Mr. Weaver presented it with an opportunity to express its will relative to a re- cess till 1:30, Messrs. Crisp and Weaver resumed their —— as tellers, the former gentleman provid- ing himuelt with a chair, in whieh he reclined as he proceeded with the count, At 1:40 itwas evident thata quorum could not be sec! to decide the question of taking a recess until 1:80 anda call of the was GEN. WEAVER IS MASTER. He will Aliow the House to do Noth- ing Until a Quorum is Present. Gen. Weaver has the House in his power, at least for the present. He stopped the reading of the journal immediately after prayer this morning until a quorum should be found pres- ent, and not one step of progress has been made since. When, at 1:30 o’clock, Mr. Crisp and Gen. Weaver were standing as tellers look- ing for a quorum, the House having got no further than “Amen” to the chaplain’s prayer, Mr. Reed for ie £ et Li Hill : sata, A Gen, says i} & i naval affairs, reported to-day, without amend- ment, the bill authorizing the President to ap- int Frederick N. Kress, an ensign in the ‘nited States navy, on the retired list; also the House bill for the relief of the Albemarle and Chesapeake canal company. Land Grant Forfeiture.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EvENINe STAR. Lonvox, Jan. 9.—The welcome to Mr. Cham- berlain and his wife at Birmingham yesterday was purely a party demonstration. It does not appear that a single Gladstonian was present. Mrs, Chamberlain is well received in English society, and is considered clever and agreeable. People here compare her manner favorabls with the awkward shyness of most English girl of the same age. Chamberlain's remarks on America again direct attention to the vacancy in the Washington mission.

Curcaco, Jan, 9.—A local paper says: The report yesterday of the deal between the ticket brokers and the Kansas City lines caused a great deal of talk in railroad circles, and it is not improbable that a general reduction in rates to Missouri river points will be the result, General Traffic Manager Wickes, of the Chicago and Northwestern road, the managers of the Kansas City lines that the Colorado and Pacific coast business of his road is being seriously affected by the cut, and that he does not propose to adhere to the €12.50 rate to Council Bluffs while scalpers are selling tickets to Kansas City from $8 to $11. This action will place thy five Ka nsas City lines in a predicament. [tls certain that either the tickets now in the hands of the scalpers will have to be redeemed or the western passenger business will be demoralized until Aprill or longer. The only way to compel scalpers to give up the tickets in their possession is to make the rates as low as they are made scalpers. Gov.
