CONTEMPT OF THE SENATE. Chief Clerk Fister to be Certified to the District Attorney for Prosecution. The Senate committee on public buildings and grounds, before which an investigation of the office of the supervising architect of the Treasury has been in progress for some weeks, will certify to the district attorney of the Dis- trict of Columbia Chief Clerk Thos. D. Fister for prosecution for contempt of the Senate. Fister refused to answer certain questions touching an alleged collection of funds for campaign purposes made in violation of law. This course of procedure is provided for b: statute, members of the committee say, an it will save the time of the Senate when more important matters demand attention. SUDDEN DEATH - Col. Edward C. McLure, Appointment Clerk of the Post-Office Department. Col. Edward ©. McLure, the appointment clerk of the Post-Office department, died sud- denly this morning at his residence, 1309 20th street northwest. He was found this morning in his bed in an unconscious condition. A physician was summoned, but his efforts to save life did not avail, and Col. McLure shortly afterward passed away. The death was a great shock to all his friends, and is attributed to heart disease. He was at the department yesterday in his usual health and spirits, and the news of his death caused a profound sensa- tion among his associates. He was a man of genial disposition and courteous manner, and had a large circle of friends. Col. McLure was a resident of Chester, 8. C., where his family by his first wife resides. He wasa prac- ticing lawyer when the war broke out, and at once he joined his fortunes with that of the confederacy. After the war he resumed his law practice in Chester with intervals of a resi- dence in Texas. He came to this city several ears ago and was the secretary of Senator utler, At the beginning of the present ad- ministration he was appointed to the position which he held at the time of his death, Mr. McLure was married over a year ago. He was @ member of the Church of the Covenant. There will be a meeting of the officials of the Post-Office department to take appropriate ac- tion in regard to his death. A Webb-Stevenson-Thompson Deal. Washington Correspondence Baltimore Sun. The indications at the capitol to-day seemed to be that severalkof President Cleveland's nominations may be confirmed. Locally, especial interest is attached to the nominations of Commissioner Webb to succeed himself and of Mr. Stevenson as Judge Merrick’s successor. These anticipated results are ascribed to an alleged combination between certain demo- cratic and republican Senators. However, the matter remains in doubt. It is said that Mr. Thompson, for civil service commissioner, also included in the alleged deal. , Inauguration Day Weather. WHAT GEN. GREELY.

Gen. ay #f i i F, | AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY. THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK. The House Agrees to an Appropriation. —_—>_—_. INTERSTATE COMMERCE ACT —_o——_ Taken Up in the Senate Again. The Senate. The House amendment to the Senate bill in regard to the salmon fisheries of Alaska (ex- tending its operation to Behring sea), having been presented tothe Senate, Mr. Edmunds suggested that the amendment raised such a very important and difficult question that he felt bound to move its reference to the com- mittee on foreign relations. After remarks Le parryi Hoar and Morgan, the bill and amendment were so referred. The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of bills authorizing the construction of railroad and other bridges. After spending about ten minutes on that order of business, during which four bills were passed, the Senate | sree to the consideration of executive usiness on the motion of Mr. Sherman, who said that only a few minutes would be required to dispose of the matter which he wished and which was important to have attended to at once. In about ten minutes the doors were re- opened and the consideration of bridge bills continued, and several were passed, including the following: The Senate bill appropriating $25,000 for the construction of an iron bridge from the militar, reservation at Fortress Monroe to Elizabetl City county, Va. ‘THE EASTERN BRANCH BRIDGE BILL PASSED. The Senate bill for a survey, plan and esti- mate for a bridge across the Eastern branch of the Potomac river from the foot of South Capitol street. THE BILL TO AMEND THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE ACT, The Senate then resumed consideration of the two House amendments to the bill to amend the interstate commerce act—the pending question being Mr. Sherman’s motion to agree to the amendment in relation to the transportation of petroleum. Mr. Platt said that, as a member of the inter- state commerce committee, and of the confei ence committee, he desired to give the reason for his opposition to the amendment. He be- lieved that the interstate commerce act (as it was being administered by the commission) was of great value to the country, and he desired that it should not be imperiled. It seemed to him that such legislation as was proposed in the amendment could have no other effect than to imperil the law and its successful administration in the future, SPECIAL LEGISLATION. The principle of the interstate commerce law was not legislation, but the principle of the pend- ing amendment was special legislation, It was best for the interests of the country, of the rail- roads, and of the patrons of railroads to leave the law as it stood, and therefore he was op- posed to any such amendment. As to the Stand- ard oil company, he was willing to assume that ‘it was A VERY WICKED MONOPOLY, but he did not, on that account, propose to in- dulge in what seemed to him vicious legisla- tion—legislation that could only have far-reach- ing and lasting. deletestons results. The fact that the Standard Oil company was a wicked monopoly was no excuse for taking the matter out of the hands of the interstate commerce commission. If it were not for the appeal made to prejudice against the Stendard Oil company the amendment would not, in his judgment, have three votes in its favor in the nate. Mr. Sperman defended and advocated the House amendment, and spoke of Mr. Platt as having discovered @ mare’s nest. and as having put on the amendment a construction which no mortal man had ever put upon it before. House of Representatives. ‘The Speaker having laid before the House the Senate bill for the protection of the salmon fisheries in Alaska, ir. Dunn of Arkansas of- fered an amendment directing the President to cause one or more United States vessels to eruise in Behrings sea and other Alaskan waters, and seize all vessels found to be unlaw- fally engaged in seal-hunting. Mr. Dunn explained that the sole object of the amendment was to enforce existing law. Heretofore the enforcement of the law had been relaxed so that a numberof persons had concluded that the government did not propose to enforce the law, and to-day no less than 150 vessels were being fitted up to go to pings sea, and would cover the waters with unlawful seal hunters. ‘The amendment was adopted and the bill was Mr. Burrows (Mich.) moved the eof the Genate bill for tho erection of a aes building at Kalamazoo, Michigan, Mr. Biand (Mo.) said that untib the Sullivan contested election case was considered it was not only an unseemly proceeding, but it was an absolute disgrace for the House to consider public building measures. The Kalamazoo bill was then passed. [It ap- Propriates $75,000.) ‘THE INAUGURAL CEREMONIES AT THE CAPITOL. On motion of Mr. Ermentrout (Pa.) the Speaker was authorized to appoint a committee of three members to co-operate with a similar a the part bitters — to =e el ol 1e ement or e inal proceedings at the copiial ne THE ZOOLOGICAL PARK AMENDMENT. The House then proceeded to the considera- tion of a motion submitted by Mr. Dibble (8. C.) directing the House conferees on the Dis- trict of Columbia appropriation bill to recede from their disagreement to the Senate amend- ment providing 6 a “zoo” in the District of Columbia, . Dibble explained that if the $200,000, which it was propose $0 be e: ded, was all used for the pr of land, land would not cost more than 434 cents a foot—a very reasonable figure. FOR A NATIONAL PARK. Mr. Hemphill (8. C.) offered an amendment to Mr. Dibble’s motion, so as to direct the House conferees to recede from their disagree- ment to the amendment and to agree to the same, with an amendment appropriating @1,000,000 for the hase of not less than 1,000 acres for a nat park, THE “ZOO” AMENDMENT ADOPTED. Mr. Hemphill’s amendment was lost—yeas, 95; nays, 181, and Mr. Dibble’s motion instruct- ing the House conferees to recede was agreed to—yeas, 181; nays, 99. FURTHER CONFERENCE ON THE DISTRIUT BILL. A further conference on the bill was then ordered. i CAPITOL TOPICs. THE LAND-GRANT FORFEITURE BILLS, The conferees on the land-grant forfeiture bills have agreed upon all points of difference except that involved in the first section, namely, the extent of the forfeiture. The con- ferees will report the result to their tive houses, and in the House Mr. Payson will move that that recede from its disagreement on the first section and accept the Senate propo- pees which ae a yas seo a ig opposite those parts of the railroad lines not completed at the date of passage of the act, An agreement has also been reached on the bill to oe the rights of actual settlers on the public lands on the lines of the House bill, and the report will be made at the first opportunity. THE SOLE SURVIVING VICE-PRESIDENT. This afternoon the venerable Hannibal Hamlin was on the floor of the Senate, over which body he presided during the troub- lous times of ’61-'65. He is the sole surviving Vice-President, and as such comes to take part in the inaugural ceremonies next Monday. He is hale and hearty, and seemed to greatly en- joy the congratulations of Senators, which were freely extended. THE SENATE'S EXTRA SESSION. There is much interest in the approaching extra session of the Senate, called for next Monday, in respect particularly of its length. Mr. Harry B. Smith, of the Senate document room, has been looking up this matter, and finds that the usual length is about one week. Anotable exception was the special session called in 1881, which lasted several months, and toward the close of which Senators Conk- ling and Platt resigned. It is not expected that any controversy will arise leading to any extraordinary length of the session. EXECUTIVE SESSION OF THE SENATE. The ten-minute executive session of the Sen- ate to-day was devoted to the reception of mes- sages from the President and their reference to appropriate committees. REPRESENTATIVE SPINOLA’S CONDITION. Representative Spinola’s illness is reported to have taken a favorable turn this morning. He is still very ill, however, and is almost una- ble to speak. THE RETIREMENT OF GENS. ROSECRANS AND SMITH. President Cleveland yesterday afternoon sent the following nominations to the Senate: Wil- liam 8, Rosecrans, late brigadier-general U. 8. army, to be brigadier-general to date from Feb- Tuary 27, 1889, with a view to his being placed on the retired list of the army. William F. Smith, late major in the corps of engineers, to be major of engineers, to date from February 27, 1889, with a view to his name also being placed on the retired list of the army. THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW. The House cemmittee on labor has authorized @ favorable report on a bill providing for the enforcement of the eight-hour law on Govern- ment premises. The bill provides that all par- ties contracting for the performance of work on government premises shall agree that eight hours shall constitute a day’s work. IDAHO AND WYOMING. The Senate committee hope to get the bills to provide for the formation and admission into the Union of Idaho and Wyoming respect- ly through Congress this session, so that the sns of 1890 may be used as the basis of rep- resentation, otherwise the new states will be compelled to come to Congress for ten years with but one representative each. The bills merely authorized the formation of the state governments and adoption of constitutions; the next Congress will have to deal with their ac- tual admission. CONGRESSMAN POST'S CLAIM for #5,000 on account of expenses incurred in defending his right to the seat occupied by him in the Fiftieth Congress, in addition to the $2,000 appropriated last year, received favor- able consideration from the Senate committee on claims yesterday. THE NATURALMATION BILL AMENDED. On February 13 last, the naturalization bill reported from the committee on the judiciary was, by request, recommitted _—to that committee. Yesterday Representatives Oates reported the bill back with a new section. This section creates in the State de- partment here a _ registration for the registration of all — persons hereafter naturalized, and makes such registration este tial to the validity of such natural tion. This provision, an accompanying report says, is recommended by the Depart- ment of State. and is deemed neces- sary to enable that department to identify and afford proper protec tion to worth: naturalized —_ citizens abroad and to withhold it from those who have obtained naturalization papers by fraud. THE L’ABRA CLAIMS. of the Senate committee relations yesterday was oc- eupied in discussion the L’Abra claims There yet remains one witness to be ex- amined, but the committee hope to be able to get in a report on the bill concerning these claims before the week ends. NOTES. Ex-Senator Saunders, of Nebraska, was on the floor of the Benate yesterday, the recipient of many congratulations on his health and ap- pearance. His hair and beard are white as snow, but the ex-Senator’s vigor seems to be unimpaired, i Ex-Attorney General Devens, during Mr. Hayes’ administration, and ex-Representative Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, were conspicuous Visitors at the capitol to-da; THE CATHOLIC ERSITY.

When he left this country the bishop took with him the statutes of the new university.
