CEREMONIES AT ST, JOHN'S CHURCH; INTERMENT AT ARLINGTON. The funeral of the late Brig.-Gen. Roger Jones, inspector-general of the U.S. army, who died Saturday morning at Fortress Mon- roe, took place from St. John’s church, in this city, at 2o’clock to-day. The remains, which were brought up the river by boat, were met at the wharf by the third artillery and band at about 12:30 and escorted to the church. The pall-bearers were Gen. Hunt, of the Sol- diers’ home; Gen. Casey, chief of engineers; Col. Kelton, assistant adjutant-general; Col. Breckenridge, inspector-geueral; Col. Hodges, deputy uartermaster-general; Lieut.-Col. Sawtelle, Toputy quartermaster-general; Gen, O. B. Wilcox, retired, and Gen, C. N. Wilcox. After Rev.

APPROPRIATION BILLS. ONE UP IN EACH HOUSE OF CONGRESS. Diplomatic in the Senate; Sundry Civil in the House. DISTRICT BUSINESS KNOOKED OUT The Senate. Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr. Chandler said that in consequence of di- rections given by Mr. Gibson to the official re- porter he withdrew the resolution offered by him last.Friday for correction of the record. Among the memorials presented and referred was a protest from citizens of New Mexico be aga the admission of that territory as a state. ‘The credentials of Mr. Butler for a new sena- torial term were presented by Mr. Hampton, read and placed on file. Senate bill to change the date for the com- mencement of the March term (from the first to the second Monday) of the United States district court for the northern district of Georgia, was reported and Mr. Sherman moved to reconsider the vote by which the House bill to transfer certain counties from the southern to the northern judicial district of Georgia was recently passed, and said that he made the motion in consequence of certain telegrams which he had received from Georgia and which he desired to have looked into, Mr. Wilson (Iowa) and Mr. Brown said that the cept were to the House bill, not to the bill as amended and passed by the Senate. ‘The motion to reconsider was entered. BRIDGE BILLS PASSED. Senate bills to authorize the construction of bridges across the Missouri river, near Leaven- worth, Kan., and near Kansas City, Mo., were taken from the calendar and passed. THE ARMY NURSES’ PENSION, On motion of Mr. Blair, the army nurses’ pension bill was taken up, amended and passed. It allows a pension of $25 a month to all women nurses during the late war (prior to August, 1865), who were approved by Miss Dix, superin- tendent of women nurses, or her authorized agent, or who were specially appointed by the surgeon-general or other United States authority, who performed six months’ service, or were disabled and honorably discharged. Those who are now receiving a less pension under special acts are to be entitled to the benefits of this act. DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION BILL, The Senate proceeded to the consideration of the diplomotic and consular appropaiation bill. AMENDMENTS AGREED TO, ‘The following amendments reported by the Senate committee on appropriations were agreed to: Appropriating $15,000 to be paid to the gov- ernment of Japan to be distributed among the families of the Japanese subjects who were accidentally killed or injured by the explosion of the shells from the U. 8. 8. Omaha, Inserting an item of $3,000 for a consul-gen- | eral at Apia, Samoan islands. Striking out the consulate-general at Montreal (#4,000.) Making the consulate at Ottows (3,000) a constilate-general (same salary.) Transferring the consulate at Barmen, Ger- rome ee el five ($2,000) to class three ($3,000), Transferring the consulate at Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, from class five (22,000) to class four (#2,500), and providing for a consulate of the same class for Paso Del Norte. “AMBASSADORS.” Mr. Gibson moved to insert the word “am- bassadors” instead of the words “envoys extraordinary and ministers plenipoten- tiary,” as applied to France, Germany, Great Britain and Russia. He argued that the change of title would enable American agents at those courts to render more efficient service—as ambassadors took prece- dence of ministers. He sent to the clerk's desk and had read an argument on the same point made by Mr. Cox in the House last May, Mr. Plumb opposed the amendment. His own proposition would be to strike out the en- tire paragraph. The Senator from Louisiana roceeded, he said, on an entirely artificial asis, assuming that, in international matters, names were things. Whoever represented the American people was entitled to consideration not because of his personal character, not be- cause of his bearing, but because of his repre- sentative character. House of Representatives. The call of states for the introduction and reference of bills was dispensed with, and leave was granted to members to file their measures with the clerk, INCREASED PENSIONS TO MEN WITHOUT HANDS. On motion of Mr. Long (Mass.) the Senate bill was passed increasing the pensions of sol- diers and sailors who have lost both hands to $100 per month. On motion of Mr. Landes (Iil.) a bill was passed granting the Mount Carmel develop- ment company the privilege of drawing water from the Wabash river, COUNTING THE ELECTORAL VOTE. On motion of Mr. Ermentrout (Pa.) the Sen- ate concurrent resolution was agreed to pro- viding for the joint meeting of the two houses of Congress on Wednesday, February 43, for the purpose of counting the electoral vote. MR. RANDALL AS AN OBJECTOR TO THE CONSIDER- ATION OF DISTRICT BUSINESS. The committee on the District of Columbia, through its chairman, Mr. Hemphill, of South Carolina, made a struggle to secure the floor, which the rules of the House accord to it on the second and fourth Monday of each month, but the committee on sppropeiations, under the leadership of Mr. Randall, of Pennsylva- nia, proved too formidable an antagonist, and the House declined to consider District busi- ness, Bill after bill was called upby Mr. Hemphill, only to be side-tracked bya ion of consid- eration, raised by Mr. Ran MR. HEMPHILL MAKES ANOTHER UNSUCCESSFUL EFFORT. ¢ Mr. Hemphill then attempted to have a day set apart for the consideration of District busi- ness, declining to accept a night session, re- marking, ly, that the trouble about District business was that every member knew all about it, and that the question of no quo- rum would certainly be Mr. Blount (Ga.) objected to the assi; it of aday, and when Mr. Hem ‘moderated his demands and asked for a it session, Mr, Blount again objected unless Mr. hill Peal, promise tot to eal the Rock Grosk Park bill, a promise which Mr. Hemphill de- clined to give. THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL, No agreement was arrived at; and the House ’ fuse or neglect to convey train upon which the require, or willfully refuse to obey any law re- cting the transportation of the mails, it shall be liable toa penalty not exceeding $1,000 for each day in which such refusal or neglect shall be persisted in. RIGHTS OF SETTLERS ON RAILROAD LANDS, A resolution adopted by the Kansas house of representatives was‘ to-day laid before the Senate, in which, after a recital of the fact that settlers on railroad land grants have been compelled to pay an excessive price for their holdings and have been otherwise mistreated, the Kansas Senators and Representatives in Congress are requested to use their influence in Congress in behalf of the settlers and to secure the pomes of the House bill relating to the rights of settlers on railroad lands. A GRATEFUL LITTLE GIRL, Representative Dockery, of Missouri, was greatly pleased this morning by the receipt of the following grateful letter from a little girl, fourteen years of age, residing at Excelsior Springs, Mo.: “I take this opportunity of addressing you to express my sincere sfor the assistance you have rendered in procuring a pension for me, for which Iam very grateful, and truly hope that you may be the means of m: happy the hearts of many others during your term of aioe: = would that I could be the means of extendin; our prosperity to limits of time.” spe - sf NOTES, Mrs. Whitney, accompanied by three lady friends and a gentleman, was in the President's ees pew in the Senate gallery this morn- 8. Mr. C. P. Huntington, of the Central Pacific railroad company, was given a private hearing to-day by the Senate committee on Pacific rail- roads, which has the Mitchell bill now pending before it. The House committee on public lands to-da; ordered a favorable report on the Senate bi. granting the use of certain lands in the city of St. Augustine, Fla., for a public park. Blaine in the Cabinet. WHAT HIS PRIENDS AT THE CAPITOL SAY. Mr. Blaine’s friends at the capitol say they do not know whether or not the statement in the New York Herald is true that the Secre- taryship of State has been actually offered to and accepted by him, but they think there is no doubt that it will be, if it has not been offered to him already. The Samoan Troubles. A CALL FOR INFORMATION REFERRED IN HOUSE, In the House, to-day, Representative Ford, of Michigan, offered for reference to the com- mittee on foreign affairs the following pream- | ble and resolution: Whereas, Recent dispatches from Vice-consul | Blacklock, of Apia, Samoa, to the Secretary of State, and accounts in the public press have conveyed the intelligence of great indignities offered by the representatives of Germany to American citizens and American intefests in Samoa, and Whereas, In the correspondence transmitted by the President to Congress on April 2, 1838, touching our rights in Samoa, there appears a letter from the Secretary of State to the British and German ministers, asking per- mission of their governments to make public the joint protocols of the Samoa conference held between said Secretary and said ministers in the summer of 1887, which permission was refused; and Whereas, 1t is alleged that the publication of these protocols would show that Germany has violated treaty rights and obligations solemnly entered into with the United States, Resolved, By the House of Representatives that the Secretary of State be requested to transmit to the House copies of all such proto- cals and memoranda of the proceedings of said conference, if not incompatible with the public interest, New Mexico and Her People. A VIGOROUS PROTEST AGAINST THE ADMISSION OF THAT TERRITORY AS A STATE. The memorial presented to the Senate to-day protesting against the admission of New Mexico as a state of the Union represents that it is not to the business interests of the residents of the territory, nor is it the desire of the THE majority of New Mexico's citizens really engaged «in commercial pursuits, that Mexico should at the present’ time be admitted into the Union of states. The pe- | titioners say further that New Mexico is at | present totally unfitted for the responsibility | of statehood because the greater of the pte are unfamiliar with the English language, and though honest and of good intentions, are, as a class, of people whom designing and’ unscrupulous politicians may readily acquire a power over, that enables them to sway the people almost wichout limit. The petition also states that the character of the legislatures of the territory have been such as causes the gravest fears that if left to enact laws not pad mas to the reversal of Congress the resulting code would be a disgrace to the state. STATE AND NAVY. Secretary Whitney Denies that Depart- mental Relations are Strained. The published cérrespondence between Sec- retary Whitney and Representative Herbert, relative to the course of the State department in the Samoan troubles, has given rise to rumors of strained relations between the Sec- retaries of State and the Navy, growing out of the evident unwillingness of the latter to con- cur in the policy of the former. A Washington special to the New York World to-day says: “The rumor is current here to-night that either Secretary Whitney or Secretary Bayard will resign within the next few days, the re- rt even going so far as to say that a resigna- ion has already been offered to the President.” A Srar reporter was unable to see Secretary Bayard to-day when he called at the de] ment about the matter, but succeeded in hav- ing his attention called to the matter through his private secretary. Mr. Bayard imme- diately sent out word that “I have nothing at all-to say about it.” Secretary Whitney had not read the publica- tion when the reporter asked him about the matter. On its being told him he smiled and said very peeey: “It is not true. There is nothing in it as far as I amconcerned. There is nothing whatever in it.” The story created considerable comment among the officials and clerks of both de ments, but no credence was attached to it. A Relic from Samoa.
