NAVAL OFFICERS’ CLAIMS. Investigation Resolution in the Senate. NICARAGUAN CANAL BILL. It, is Discussed in the House. —— The Senate. The message from the President transmitting to Congress a copy of the provisional agree- ment with the Creek Indians by which their title and interest in all lands in the Indian ter- ritory or elsewhere (except such as are held anil occupied by them as homes) is ceded to the United States, was laid before the Senate, read, and referred to the committee on Indian affairs. The Senate bill granting to the Big Horn Southern railroad company right of way across the Fort Custer military reservation in Montana was reported and passed. Mr. Chandler offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Secretary of the In- terior for a statement as to authority given by him for cutting timber on the Chippewa Indian reservation with the La Pointe agency. THE NAVAL OFFICERS’ CLAIMS INVESTIGATION ¢ RESOLUTION, The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Chandler instructing the committee on appro- priations to investigate the matter of naval officers’ claims was taken up. ‘MR. CHANDLER AND THE CLATM AGENTS. Mr. Chandler said that before he offered the resolution he had suggested a remedy for, the evil, in the shape of a proposed amendment to the deficiency appropriation bill. withdraw jurisdiction over such claims from the Court ot Claims, and forbidding Treasury officials from going back farther than three years in the set- tlement of such claims, This gested remedy, he said, had been printed on slips of claim agents and attorneys of Washington, and sent out all over the country with the stgges- tion that persons interested in such claims should write letters to their Senators and Rep- resentatives asking them to oppose the adoption of the proposition. WHAT MR. HALE KNOWS ABOUT CLAIM AGENTS. Mr. Hale said he knew something about the class of Washington claim agents and how they attempted to enlist public sympathy by declar- ing that the Senator from New Hampshire pro- posed to interfere with the just claims of old | soldiers, He asked Mr, Chandler whether he eet any legislation that would interfere witl ‘THE JUST CLAIMS OF OLD SOLDIERS. , Mr. Chandler denied that his proposition had any such object. The point he wished to make was to prevent the consideration of old claims of this kind, going back. some of them, forty years. He wished to have a statute of limita- tion applied to them. Mr. Manderson expressed the the amendment suggested by Mr. neither desirable nor advisable. tirely too sweeping in its character. A STATUTE OF LIMITATION. It might be well to haye a statute of limita- tion applied to officers of the regular army or navy, but it should not be applied to officers of the volunteer army. The resolution and proposed amendment were also*criticised unfavorably by Senators Spooner and Call. CLATM AGENTS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. | Mr. Cullom presented and read a circular issued by a Washington claims agency firm (Talmage & Talmage) stating that they make a specialty of naval claims, and referring. by permission, to Mr. Charles M. Shelley, fourt! auditor of the Treasury, and Mr. Jas. W. Hyatt, treasurer of the United States. There seemed, Mr. Cullom said, to be a relation between this firm of attorneys and those government officers of the ‘Treasury. He did not assume | that there was any improper relation between | them; but he should infer that, in the course of amonth or 80, those two government officers would be found either in that firm or in some other firm of attorneys for those naval claims. Mr. Hale asked whether the office of the fourth auditor was that in which such claims were examined. _ Mr. Cullom said he was under that impres- | sion. Mr. Voorhees read an argument which, he said, he had prepared carefully, against Mr. Chandler's movement on the subject of claims for sea service pay, longevity allowances, &c. The resolution went over without action. THE LEGISLATIVE, ETC., APPROPRIATION BILL. ey that Chandler was It was en- The conference report on the interstate commerce bill also went over, and the Senate resumed consideration of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, the pending ques- tion being the amendment to increase the cler- ical force of the civil service commission. House of Representatives. Mr. Browne (Ind.) presented the credentials of Frank £. Posey, elected to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of A. P. Hovey The credentials having been read, Mr. Posey took the oath as representative from the first congressional district of Indiana, ‘The Speaker having laid before the House a message from the President, giving the terms of an agreement between the United States and the Creek ns of Indians for the ces- sion of a portion of the Indian lands to the United States, it was referred to the com- mittee on Indian affairs, and leave granted that committee to report thereon at any time. The consideration of the CONFERENCE REPORT ON THE NICARAGUA CANAL. BILL was then resumed, it being agreed that debate should be closed at 3 o'clock. Mr. Nelson (Minn.) thought that the bill re- eroded the original bill. By the bill, as it came irom the Senate, full paid-up stock conld be issued for. real or personal property or concessionary rights, The House had stricken out this pro- vision and had adopted an amendment sub- stantiaily requiring. that all stock should be paid for in cash, ‘The conferces had stricken out the amendment and had gone beyond the rovision of the Senate bill by authorizing the issuing of stock. not only for property and con- cessionary rights, but for labor and material furnishe: ‘he conferees had seen the Senate bill and gone it a good deal better, THE FATHER OF THE HOUSE ON THE MONROE Doc- ‘TRINE. Mr. Kelley (Pa.) regarded the construc- tion of the Nicaraguan canal essential to the maintenance of our just influence over the American continent—an influence which was named the Monroe doctrine, and of which generations had been proud. More than that, it was beraag~ 4 to the internal development of the country. The Pacific coast, rich as it was in mineral wealth, lacked one mineral, coal. The Rocky mountains stood as a barrier between the Pacific coast and the rich coal beds of the east. There was an off-set to this mountain barrier. It was a canal across Nicaragua. Here was an available gateway between the two coasts of the country. With that canal con- structed, California could obtain a supply of coal as cheaply as it could be obtained in many parts of Pennsylvania. He would cheerfully vote for the bill. He would not scan it with eyes too nice in the hi of discovering possible harm which come to some remote unknown widow or or: re had not favored it as it passed the Howse, the pig MOB ee Rs the United State ohowld be free from en- iad passed, Yolces were : ported by the conference committee out- | WARNING THE UNITED STATES of this—voices from the isthmus, from Canada, from Samoa, from wherever foreign nations had planted their flags. The attempt to make it impracticable for American enterprise to plant itself in foreign countries was too late. The day had passed, and the time come for a haughty and dictatorial American policy and certainly a wise American policy. This, he said, is a bold step; no it is not bold, for even in its present shape it is hesitating, timid—but in comparison with our past it is a bold step in this direction of the destiny of the country. WE ARE CARRYING THE FLAG into that region of Central America, We are carrying it with the endorsement of this gov- ernment. We have put ourselves where, though we may not be pecuniary liable, we shall be morally responsible for the safety and protection of a great American enterprise which will help to spread our country over the world. It is a step; it is a brave step; and I for one hope that this step is only a prelude to the day when the nation will follow, and we asa peo- ple will plant our feet on those regions and when our flag shall wave over the state of Nic- aragua as a state of the United States of Amer- ica, (Applause), CAPITOL TOPICS. THE SAMOAN MATTER. Owing to the caucus there were no demo- embers of the Senate committee on foreign relations present at the meeting of the committee to-day and nothing but routine business was disposed of. The Samoan matter, under Mr, Saulsbury’s resolution requesting the committee to report an expression of its opinion as to what should be done by the gov- ernment, was not considered, THE APPROPRIATION BILLS IN THE SENATE. The Senate subcommittee on appropriations in charge of the fortification bill, had that measure under consideration again to-day, and heard General Casey, chief of engineers. It is not expected that any important changes will be made in the bill as it passed the House, and at the next meeting of the subcommittee it will be ready for the full committee to act upon. Senator Ransom has asked that $25,000 be ap- propriated for machine guns, musket caliber, to be of American manufacture. Eighteen amendments were passetl yesterday to the sun- dry civil bill and sentto the committee. Senator Morrill wants the coal vaults at the east end of the capitol provided with a power lift at a cost of $4,000, and Senator Teller de- sires $15,000 set aside for the establishment of a trout breeding pool and house in Lake county, Colorado. CLAIMS OF STEEL IMPORTERS. The Senate committee on claims to-day heard adelegation of iron mill men in support of a bill now pending in both houses of Congress, The bill proposes to re the im- porters of stecls _chie: in the Alleghany and Mahoning valley districts, the difference between a duty of 45 per cent which was collected, and one of 35 percent which they claim, a decision of the Supreme Court holds to be the correct rate of duty. The amount involved is about #600,000. W. 8. ome, of the firm of J. F. Bailey & € New York; R. T. Downing and H. E. Coll of Pittsburg, addressed the committee. They were unable, however. not being lawyers, to cite the Supreme Court decision upon which they rest their claim, and a postponement was had in order to enable them to present it to tha committee, COURT OF CLAIMS JUDGME Acting Secretary of the Treasury Thompson to-day transmitted to the House of Representa- tives a list of judgments rendered by the Court of Claims amounting to $248,871, which have been, presented to his department and require an appropriation for their payment. NOTES. A number of petitions were introduced in the Senate to-day praying for the passage of the “Sunday rest” bill, and also for the submittal to the people of a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxi- cating liquors. SSS WES LATEST CABINET GOSSIP. Mr. Windom, Not Mr. New, forthe Treas- ury—Blaine Has Not Reconsidered. There is no importance to be attached to the talk of Blaine’s reconaidering his acceptance of the portfolio of State. He is not contemplat- ing such a cour The report was started upon the assumption that John C, New was slated for the Treasury. The known relations between Mr. Blaine and Mr. New—or want of relations—made it seem not at all probable that they would both sit at the same council table. But to assume that Mr. New was to be made Secretary of the Treasury after Mr. Blaine had been offered and had accepted the portfolio of state, was to attribute to Gen. Harrison a want of tact, to say the least. There ure very good reasons for believing that ex- Secretary Windom, not Mr. New, is to be the Secretary of the Treasury. It is said for Mr. New that he does not want the position, and that he has so informed Gen. Harrison, More- over, it would hardly be regarded as discreet to throw the additional confusion into the situation that would come of discordant ele- ments in the cabinet. Mr. Windom would be entirely acceptable to Mr. Blaine, and per- sonally is a close friend of Gen. Harrison’s. ‘There are reasous to believe that Mr. Windom has been decided upon, Mr. Blaine having been consulted in the matter. THE ATTORNEY-GENERALSHIP. It is asserted with much positiveness that the Attorney-General to sueceed Garland will be either Judge Jere. Wilson or John B. Hen- derson, MR. BLAL He Leases the Seward House for a Term of Ten Years. But few people care to dispute the assevera- tion that Mr. James Gillespie Blaine will be the next Secretary of State, and those who do feel it their duty to say that such will not be the case have but little testimony with which to support their views. All the evidence seems to be on the other side just now, and as a clincher it can now be authoritatively stated that Mr. Blaine has leased a house in this city for a term of ten years, and evidently intends to spend a good deal of his time in this city. The residence he has chosen for himself and his family is the large double house on the cast side of Lofayette square, known as the Seward house, and numbered 17._ It is an old- fashioned structure, with an abundance of great hall-like rooms. Inthe rear of the mansion there is a great deal of unoccupied groun although the stable is very large. It is one of the historic houses of that well-know neighbor- hood. It was the residence of Secretary Sew- ard, and until recently was as the offices of the commissary general of the The house will be in the hands of a force of work- men in a few days, and will be extensively re- paired and thoroughly renovated. lease through Thos.

The Gerrymanders Capture the Coun- cils—A Female Alderman Chosen. Special Cable Dispatch to Tar EVENING Star. Lonpox, Feb. 6.—The gerrymanders cap- tured the London councils yesterday, after all. A compact minority of 55 carried 18 aldermen, while the moderate majority of 62 scattered their votes and only elected one. The effect will probably be bad on home rule, justifying the belief that the Parnellite majority will ignore the rights of the minority, and subor- dinate actual business to a hope of extorting further powers. The London aldermen include one woman, Miss Cous, the lady who manages the philanthropic coffee tavern in Music hall, and who lives in the slums, looking after house property. She isa remarkable woman, capa- le, intelligent, and the only female alderman existent.

But They Have to Sign a Paper to Re- linquish the Labor Unions. New York, Feb. 6,—The great tie-up is over, Some cars are running on all ten surface roads, and on nearly all of them the full number are running. The reserve police are still kept on duty, and tcn patrol wagons are in readiness, but the officers have n withdrawn from most of the cars. The strikers are pouring back to the depots in search of work. Gene- rally speaking the roads are glad to have their old hands if they come as individuals. The roads are unanimous in refusing to employ any man who comes as the representative of a union organization. The Second-avenue line are TAKING ALL THE OLD MEN BACK. The Broadway line are receiving no applica- tions from new men. On all the lines the men tnat are given work are to sign a paper to the effect that they are not and will not be subject to the order of any organization. The result will be that there will not be a union car line in New York. This course was adopted by the Third-avenue line on the last strike, and they were able to run all during the strike just ended. The Knights of Labor appear to. be fully conscious of the disastrous defeat they have sustained. ARRAIGNED FOR SHOOTING A STRIKER. Chas.
