There is another—Ben- jamin Franklin, of Blue Earth City, Minn., who is pensioned for the loss of both hands and both feet, but, as he is already in receipt of a pension of $100 per month by special act of Congress, the act of February 12, 1889, does not affect him, Svuccessrur Tria, oF tHe YorKTowN.—A telegram has been received at the Navy depart- ment announcing the success of the official trial of the gunboat Yorktown which took place Wednesday.

TARIFF REPORT IN THE HOUSE- A Constitutional Point Raised. Objecting to the Senate’s Course. PANAMA BILL PASSES THE HOUSE. The Territorial Bill Contest. —-__. The Senate. ANOTHER PENSION VETO. A message from the President, returning, without his approval, a bill granting a pension to Charles J. Estie, was presented, read, and referred to the committee on pensions, The grounds of disapproval are that “A bill precisely the same in terms was approved July 8, 1836, and, under its provisions, the ben- eficiary is now on the pension-roll.” The President adds: “It is supposed that the bill was passed by the Congress in ignorance of the previous statute. A duplication of the act would manifestly be entirely useless.” PERSONAL TAXES ON CORPORATIONS IN THE DIS- ‘TRICT. A communication from the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, in response to a reso- lution asking for information as to personal taxes on corporations, was presented, read, and referred to the committee on the District of Columbia, with instructions to report legis- lation nezessary to enable the Commissioners to prevent any further evasion of the law and to collect all taxes due for the present or past years from such corporations as have evaded payment. Among the bills reported from committee and placed on the calendar were the following: The Senate bill for the sale of certain United States property in Pittsburg, Pa, THE ROCK CREEK PARK BILL. . The Senate bill to authorize the Commission- ers of the District of Columbia to condemn land for the purpose of Rock Creek park. The House bill to provide for allotments of land in severalty to the united Peoria and Miami Indians, in Indian territory. ‘The House bill vesting in the vestry of Christ church parish, Washington, the title of the United States in a certain square in Washing- ton city. . THE, CREDENTIALS OF WM, D. WASHBURN, as Senator from the state of Minnesota for the term beginning March 4 next, were presented, read, and placed on file, Mr. Hale gave notice that, next Monday, he would ask the Senate to proceed to the consid- ation of the census bill. Mr. Hiscock offered a resolution, which was agreed to, calling on the Attorney-General for a list of the general deputy marshals appointed during the last six months in the northern dis- trict of New York. BILLS PASSED, The Senate bill to ratify and confirm an agreement with the Muscogee (or Creek) nation of Indians in the Indian territory (opening to settlement unassigned lands in the Indian ter- ritory, the consideration being €2,280,357,) was taken from the calendar and passed. The House bill authorizing the President to appoint William English a second lieutenant in the regular army was taken from the calendar and explained and advocated by Mr, Daniel, who claimed that the sentence of the court- martial uuder which English waS cashiered was unduly severe, and that a severe repri would have been quite sufficient. House of Representatives. THE TARIFF BILL REPORTED. Mr. Mills (Tex.), from the committee on ways and means, reported back the Mills tariff bill with Senate amendment, and by direction of the Speaker it was referred to the commit- tee of the whole. OBJECTING TO THE COURSE OF THE SENATE. Mr. Mills also reported the following resolu- tion, which, he said, presented a question of privilege, and the consideration of which, he said, he would ask the House to enter upon on Tuesday next: Resoived, That the substitution by the Senate under the form of an amendment for the bill of the House number 9051 (the Mills bill), of another and different bili containing a general revision of the laws imposing import duties and internal taxes, is in conflict with the true intent and purpose of section 7, article 1, of the Constitution, and that said bill be returned to the Senate with the respectful suggestion that said section vests in the House of | Seemeicra tives the sole power to originate such ameasure. Mr. McKinley (Ohio) said that the constitn- tional objection raised by the majority of the committee to a reduction of the revenue had been called to the attention of the committee only this morning. He therefore reserved to the minority the right to file their views. Mr. Reed (Me.) reserveda point of order against the resolution, The Speaker said that the resolution would remain upon the Speaker's table, with the point of order reserved against it, Mr. McCreary (Ky.), from the committee on foreign affairs, reported back the Senate bill appropriating $250,000 to enable the President to protect the INTERESTS OF THE UNITED STATES IN PANAMA. Mr. McCreary urged upon the House the ne- cessity of making the appropriation to relieve the 4,000 or 5,000 American citizens on the Panama canal route in a destitute condition. In reply to a question from Mr. Cox (N. Y.) Mr. McCreary said that the money could be used in bringing home those American citizens. Mz. McMillin (Tenn) protested against the inference which might be drawn from the ap- propriation, taken in connection with the treaty obligations of the United States, that in order to preserve the peace in a foreign coun- try it was necessary to bring our citizens home. Mr. Cox said that the treaty with New Grenada had been entered into after the dis- turbances which had occurred on the Isthmus. ‘This treaty guaranteed to our people there the rights and immunities connected with personal roperty. If the combination of people on the thmus out of employment took possession of the Isthmus the United States would be bound to do what the present administration had done two years ago, and send down vessels of war to make the transit free and to protect Awmerican citizens from impending danger. IMPORTANCE OF THE MEASURE. ‘Mr. Hitt (Ill.) urged the importance of the measure, The lavish expenditure made by the French government had drawn from the four juarters of the earth more than 30,000 persons. bout 15.000 of these had been upon ‘he po rolls of the company. The company had All its millions were gone, and all hope of further money was gone. ‘To-day the last of be dischargoa, “There weckdoetaiat be Gat disturbance and oT, were it 6,000 Americans there. The ernment could spend millions very readily in a diplo- matic Me geeiond which came after the event, mere all of move it Penditure of a small sum of money, POINT OF “‘NO QUORUM” AGAINST THE BILL. ‘The question being on ordering the bill to a third reading, Mr. Kilgore (Tex ) raised the the motion to reconsider the vote by which the conferees om, the territorial admission bill were to consent to the admission of South Dakota by proclamation and without another vote on division. The of yeas, 149; a 101. THE SENATE PANAMA BILL PASSED. The House has passed the Senate bill appro- priating $250,000 for the protection of Ameri- can interests in Panama. CAPITOL TOPICS. THE OKLAHOMA BILL. The Senate committee on territories to-day talked over the Oklahoma bill and the argu- ments that had been made pro and con on the measure without coming to a conclusion. Another meeting will be held Monday morn- ing, at which time the arguments before the committee willbe in print, and then a report will be decided upon. THAT POINT OF ORDER. Mr. J. Harry Smith, the ex-journal clerk of the House and a recognized authority on Con- gressional rules, said to a Stag reporter to-day that the published paragraph about “the deadly point of order,” to the effect that mem- bers of the ways and means committee had dis- covered that under the rules of the House only revenne bills reported by that committee were privileged, is misleading. There is no such rule. Speaker Carlisle ruled that the right to report a revenue bill at any time rested exclu- sively with the ways and means committee, that right being conferred by rule, but he did not rule that a revenue bill was not privileged when reported by another committee. That ruling was made on the oleomargarine bill in the last Congress, when it was reported by Mr. Hatch from the committee on agriculture. As a result the bill was reported on a regular call of committees and afterward taken up in the committee of the whole as a privile; bill the same as other revenue bills, TRRIGATION OF ARID LANDS. The Senate subcommittee on finance, in charge of the sundry civil bill, are working hard to complete the measure and get it into the Senate this week, but the chances are that it will not reach the calendar before Monday. To-day Major J. W. Powell, director of the geological survey, argued in support of the section pi jirig to appropriate money for the survey and location et vera toate pur- poses of irrigating the arid lands of the west. ‘MR. M'MILLIN’S BILL. The ways and means committee at its meet- ing this morning practically decided to report a bill making an estimated reduction im the revenues of about $70,000,000. After reading the report on the Senate tariff bill submitte: this morning, the committee took up for con- sideration a revenue reduction bill offered by Mr. McMillin, of Tennessee. The bill was read through, but’ pending a vote the hour of ad- journment arrived and the committee ad- journed, The bill is substantially the same as the Mills bill, with the exception that the cot- ton atid chemical schedules of the latter bill are struck out, as is also the iron schedule, with the exception of the provisions relating to pig iron, railroad ties, structural iron, and tin plate. DOESN’T WANT IT. Senator Teller Has no Desire to go Into the Cabinet. Senator Teller to-day stated to an Associated Press reporter that the gossip connecting his ‘name with a cabinet position was entirely un- no ire to enter the eabi- has no desire that he should. On this point they understand each other, and it is not likely that the Senator will be asked, he says, to consider the question of leaving his present position. LAYING SW TRACKS. Preparing to Accommodate the Trains at Inaugaration Time. There was a great bustle along the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad this morning as a reporter appeared upon the scene. Work- men were hurrying here and there, carrying huge iron rails or busily engaged in laying tracks. They were making preparations for the accommodation of special trains to the in- auguration. New tracks are being laid in the base ball grounds, in square 681, along the freight warehouse, and in the freight yard. There will also be tracks laid along some of the streets in the vicinity of the depot as soon as the bill authorizing their occupancy passes Congress. These tracks are for the accommodation of sleepers, which are to be occupied during their stay here, and act as hotels, Arrangements for the handling of an unusual crowd are bein; made. All the western trains will be stopped at the cozy little station on New York avenue, and the passengers conveyed to the city by the electric road. The old Schuetzen park is also being utilized and tracks are being rapidly laid. Everything will be in readiness in about two weeks. THE BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC OFFICIALS are also busily engaged in making preparations to handle the vast crowds expected at the in- auguration, although as yet the work is not showing up to a great extent. At the depot the carpenters are at work constructing an en- trance and exit for the conductors and train men, 80 they may pass to and from the trains without going through the crowds on the main floor. window in the second story hall way at the west end will be used as a door, and outside will be a covered way, with stairs leading to the platform, outside the railings, Additional sleeping ' accommodations for the train men are also being pro- vided. It would generally be supposed that the numerous tracks in and about the freight yards, New Jersey avenue, which will be pressed in’ service for the nger trains, would afford ample facilities, but with the ex- perience of last inauguration, when every track in the District and ali the side tracks between Baltimore and this city were pressed in service, the authorities recognize the necessity of hav- ing additional = wna here. Authority has been given to mporary tracks on _ land avenue, near 11th street, and orders have been issued to add to the extensive tracks about the stock yards near Benning’s, which will all be taken up by the traffic, about 5 miles of tional tracks. expected that exactly what ho ened to do will be ar- rai for , and that next week there will be many track-layers at work in and about this end of the road.

The Proposed Grand Excursion Through the States to Take Place. Cutcaco, Feb. 15.—A local paper says that the proposed excursion through the middle, southern and eastern states, for the purpose of enlightening Canadian members of parliament as to the actual condition and resources of this country, isto be a fact. The matter has been much discussed in the newspapers of late, Sir John Macdonald was interrogated regarding it rliament last week. but replied that he had heard nothing of it officially. Neverthe- less, the excursion has been planned and all the members of the Canadian parliament will be invited. It is expected that about 400 of her majesty’s subjects will accept the invitation, and about half as many senators and congress- men will be asked to do the honors as guides for the visitors, About May 1 the proposed excursion will start. Three solid Pullman trains will leave Suspension bridge for Buffalo, where the TOUR OF INSPECTION OF AMERICAN CITIES will begin. Arrangements will be made in advance for the local chambers of commerce or kindred corporations to show the visitors everything of interest in the cities visited in as brief and thorough a manner as possible, The route of the proposed excursion will be via Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville,“ Atlanta, Birmingham, Decatur, Anniston, Richmond, Washington,’ Baltimore, Philadelphia, Scranton, Harrisburg, New York, Boston, Montreal and Ottawa. At the larger cithes, such as Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston and New York, two days will be allowed, but the stay in other places will be limited to a day. THE PROMOTERS OF THE SCHEMF. Arrangements were made with the Pullman car company yesterday by 8. J. Ritchie, of Akron, Ohio, representing parties interested in the movement. Mr. Ritchie is a large property owner in Canada and is on intimate terms with the leading statesmen of that coun- try. He has been one of the foremost in agi- tating commercial reciprocity between the two countries, and his efforts are directed more at leveling the commercial barricr than the po- litical one. He has received the promises of many leading Canadian politicians of both parties that they would be pleased to take the trip. The expenses of the excursion will be borne entirely by a few gentlemen, unless Con- gress sees fit to make an appropriation for the purpose. Later in the season it is proposed to have the interstate-commerce commissioners _ visit Canada, calling at every point where railroad communication between the two countries exists, and the result of their investigation is expected to doa great deal toward smoothing matters between the two countries. Senator Cullom will have charge of the latter expedi- tion. aseieonpnecie THE PARNELL LETTERS. Testimony Regarding Them Before the Commission To-Day. Loxpox, Feb. 15.—Mr. Parnell was present at to-day’s session of the Parnell commission. Mr, Soames, solicitor for the Times, was fur- ther cross-examined.

President Justice Hamen ordered that the letter be photographed. Continuing, witness denied that he had heard Pigott and the League clerk he interviewed in Treland had a grievance against Mr. Parnell.

The witness had Pigott watched and traced him into the company of Mr. Labou- chere. He paid Houston, secretary of the Irish Loyal and Patriotic union, altogether £3,000, Upon redirect examination Mr. Soames said that no bargain was made when the letters were first brought to the Times. Their gen- uineness was to be tested before any payment was made. A SENSATION IN COURT. This statement caused a sensation in the courtroom. Continuing, Mr. Soames said that Pigott did not tell him of the correspondence he had with Archbishop Walsh, of Dublin. re- garding the letters. He had never heard of this correspondence until he heard it mentioned in court last ane Besides Mr. Ingles, Mr. Soames said, the Times engaged Messrs. Birch and Ellis as ex- perts. He had never promised Pigott six | nee, but knew that Pigott had asked Houston | for £5,000 on the ground that it would be im- possible for him to live in Dublin after giving | evidence for the Times, and that he wanted to make some provision for himself. Witness told him he could not listen to such a sugges- | tion, but that he (Pigott) might rest satisfied that the Times would never see him ruined through his honesty in testifying toall he knew. cans ds) ath Death Resulted from His Injuries.

Worth’s peculations, which have been going on for some time, would still be unknown to the firm had it not been for the curiosity of central station detectives.

Suspecting that they were the proceeds of some robbery the officers took the number of the works of seve- ral of the watches. and by communicating with the factories found that they had been sold to Montgomery Ward & Co. Worth broke down when charged with the thefts, and con- fessed to having systematically robbed his em- ployers for some time.
