THE TERRITORIAL BILLS, —e__ Under Consideration in the House- te THE TARIFF BILL IN THE SENATE. Pane nee The Senate. The President's two messages in regard to affairs in Samoa and Hayti were laid before the Senate, and referred (with the accompanying documents) to the committee on foreign rela- tions, FOR “SUNDAY REST.” Mr. Cullom presented a memorial of the woman's National Christian Temperance union, of Illinois, and other bodies, in favor of legis- lation for Sabbath observance. against the run- ning of interstate Sunday trains and against ilitary drills on Sunda These and many similar memorials from other states, which Were presented by various Senators, were re-| ferred to the committee on education and | labor, The memorials were in large bundle: covered with red cloth, and their presentation was witnessed by a deputation of ladies in the gallery. IN FAVOR OF TWO DAKOTAS. Mr. Platt also presented a copy of the pro- ceedings of a state board conygntion, held in north Dakota, in favor of a divfhon of the ter- ritory, and of the admission of north Dakota a state. ‘ PUBLIC BUILDINGS. Conference reports on the bills for public buildings at San Francisco, Milwaukee and Omaha were presented and agreed to. In the San Francisco bill the cost of the site is limited to $300,000; in the Milwaukee bill to 400,000, and in the Omaha bill to $400,000, and approv- ing $600,000 for purchase of the site and com- mencement of the building. THE TARIFF BILL. The Senate, at 1 o'clock, resumed considera- tion of the tariff bill, the pending question being on Mr. Vest’s amendment offered last Monday, to strike attar of roses off the free list and to substitute salt. Without further discus- sion the yote was taken and the amendment rejected by the usual party vote: ayes, 23; nays, 26, Mr. Allison moved to amend paragraph 173, as to penknives and razors, by substituting for it a provision that penknives, valued at not less than 50 cents per dozen, shall pay 12 cents per dozen; valued at more than 50 cents and not exceeding $2.36 per dozen, valued at more than 2.60 per dozen, and. in addition, 50 per cent ad valorem on all; and that razors valued at not more than $4 per dozen shall pay $1 es dozen; valued at more than $4 per dozen, 1.25; and in addjtion thereto 30 per cent ad valorem on all. At the suggestion of Mr. Vest, the amend- ment went over till to-morrow. Mr. Allison also moved to amend paragraph 172 (as to table-knives, &e.,) by changing the rate of 20 cents per dozen to 15 cents per dozen, on knives, &c., valued at not less than $1 per dozen. This also went over till to-mor- row. AN AMENDMENT AGREED TO. The amendment heretofore offered by Mr. Allison making the duty on cross-cut saws, 8, 10, and 15 cents per linear foot, instead of 6, 8 and 13, was agreed. The amendment heretofore offered by Mr. on Was somewhat modi- that article ON THE FREE List. Mr. Vest asked Mr. Allison whether he had in existence in this country now; Mr. Allison replied that there were quite a THE PRODUCTION OF TIN PLATE.

Grant us the wisdom to see that these bene- tactions have been bestowed not to be expended on our lusts, appetites and pride in display luxury and self-indulgence; in the paltry con- tinuance of the old world’s thread-bare amuse- ments, follies and vices; but in the encourage- ment of science, the fostering of art, t ing and endowment of higher seats of learning, in more liberal wages to the heavy-laden sons and daughters of toil and care; in‘a more gen- erous hospitality, in an ampler charity to the suffering and the poor; in the building up of the kingdom of God in the world; in all that makes us more human and more divine.” Mr. Dunn (Ark.), from the committee on merchant marine and fisheries, reported a res- olution calling on the Secretaries of War and the Treasury for copies of all correspondence, orders, &c., in their respective departments relative to the use of the En; “State of Alabama” by Joseph Cammings in the work of excavating the main ship channel in New York harbor.

The House then resumed the consideration of the territorial bills, and was addressed by Mr. Joseph (N. M.), who presented the claims of that territory for admission into the Union, ized the character of thé people of New Mexico, denied the current belief that y were ignorantand not desirous of becoming educated,and refuted the declarations that they hadno regard forlawand order. In natural resources, and g lor the fu- ture, New Mexico was ent to take her place in the galaxy of states, THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE MARKET DAY. Mr. Riddleberger, in his remarks in the Sen- ate to-day in presenting a petition for the pas- sage of the “Sunday rest” bill, said he would like the (W. C. T. U.) ladies in the gallery to understand that the first thing they had to do in the way of legislation would be t change market days. His constituents’ (for instance), in order to have their cattle in Washington ready for Tuesday's market, had to transport them on Sunday, THE BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC TRACKS ON CANAL STREET. The District Commissioners yesterday granted the Baltimore and Potomac railroad company to lay their switch crossovers between the tracks on Canal street, between South Capitol street and New Jersey avenue southeast. CAPITOL TOPICS. THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. The House naval ’affairs committee has com- pleted the naval appropriation bill. It carries an appropriation of $20,000,000 in round numbers, The most important items of the bill are those beans for new construction. Under this h g¢ ead the bill authorizes the construction of a ynamite cruiser, to cost $450,000, on the pat- tern offthe Vesuvius, which has attained such remarkable speed, and a 3,500-ton cruising monitor, to cost $1,500,000. on the plan orig- inated by Representative Thomas, of Illinois. POLITICAL SPARRING IN THE SENATE. During the tariff debate in the Senate yes- terday, Mr. Hiscock spoke of the prosperity of all the industries in his state, which, he sai was due to protection, and the people recog- nized that as the cause. Mr. Butler asked who elected the governor of New York, and Mr. Hiscock answered thay wherever rum was in- scribed on its banners the democratic party won, NOTES. Mr. Davis (Mass,.), from the committee on commerce, yesterday reported to the House a bill appropriating $15,000 for the establishment of a refuge station on the coast of the Arctic ocean at or near Point Barrow, in Alaska. Senator Ransom was re-nominated last night by the caucus of the democratic members of the North Carolina legislature. The Senate yesterday afternoon confirmied the nomination of Walter C. Newberry to be postmaster at Chicago. ‘An Omaha dispatch says that Representative Laird’s stomach trouble has been relieved; that he eats with relish and digests his food.and the prospect of his recovery is considered good. THE REST” BILL. A Flood of Petitions from the W. C. T. U. Praying for its Passage. The prevailing tint of the Senate to-day w: red, and at first glance an observer in one of the galleries might have imagined that some one who had been engaged in giving the city a coat of carmine had extended his con- tract a little and taken in the Sen- ate also, On the majority of the desks there was at least one roll of red material—some of the desks were adorned with half a dozen. Nobody seemed to know what the rolls contained, and there was con- siderable anxiety in the press gallery until the first of the cylinders was sent to the desk of the secretary. It proved to be a petition pray- ing for the passage of the “Sunday rest” bill; and that’s what they all were. SENATOR AFTER SENATOR, as rapidly as possible, relieved his desk of the petitions, andthe pages piled them upon the secretary's desk until the identity of that sedate looking piece of furniture was completely lost in an unmistakable resemblance of the bargain counter of a big dry goods store that wanted to getrid of its surplus stock of winter under- wear. Nearly all of the memorials were submitted without any especial remark from the Senator whose constituents had charged him with the duty ¢f seeing that it arrived at its proper destination. SENATOR CAMERON SMILED quietly when he read the title of the petition, and in his mind’s eye he could probably see all the trains on the Pennsylvania road stand- ing empty and idle on every Sabbath day. Senator Chandler secured the insertion in the ord of the names of a few of the more prominent signers on the New Hampshire pe- titions which had fallen to his lot. SENATOR RIDDLEBERGER OPPOSED TO THE BILL. Senator Riddleberger, however, made a speech when he hauled in the somewhat bulky roll that had for some time obstructed his view of the presiding officer. He said that while h presented the petition and believed heartily in the right of petition, yet he wanted to put himself on record as being unalterably opposed to any such legislation. Mr. Riddleberger was listened to by the Senators, and he secured an especial amount of attention from the ladies’ gailery, in which were seated a number of menibers of the Woman's Christian Temperance union, the Sa ce a oa which put the peti- tions in circulation. is ‘The signatures on the petitions are said to represent 14,174,734 people, THE ANTI-BLAINE MOVEMENT. His Adversaries Dispirited but Still Pegging Away. The anti- Blaine men, though a good deal disheartened by the growing indications that Mr. Blaine is to go into the cabinet, are still making zealous efforts tokeep him out. They will evidently leave nothing undone the doing of which they think will injure his chances of preferment. Some of the anti-Blaine members of both houses of Congress have dug up the old Peru- vian claims scandal that was investigated by the House committee during the Forty-seventh Congress, and are attempting to show to Gen. Harrison that Mr. Blaine’s association with the matter was too intimate for dis- cretion during his brief term as Secretary of State. A great deal was said at the time about this Peruvian business and the connection of Walker Blaine and Senator Blair with it as attorneys for the company. Mr. Blaine, the elder, was before the com- mittee, and at that time the famous tilt be- tween him and Perry Belmont occurred. About a week ago some Senators and Repre- sentatives in Congress who want to keep Blaine out of the cabinet caused a search to be begun among the files of the State a re- lating to these Peruvian claims, in the hopes of finding something which, in connection with the developments at the investigation, might turn new light on the subject. They have gathered all the information on the subject which could be construed to reflect upon Mr. Blaine, and have sent, or intend to send, at once a paper on the subject to General Harri- son as an argument why Mr. Blaine should not be made Secretary of State.
