Respect to the Memory of John Bright. THE LIST OF NOMINATIONS. in Executive Session. Contest ——. The Senate. At the brief open session of the Senate to- day the preliminary movements toward a final adjournment were made. The President sent in a small batch of | Dominations, chiefly in the navy, that were too late for yesterday. In his prayer the chaplain asked good health and a pleasant journey for the statesmen be- fore him. After the presentation of two memorials, one in favor of special privileges in regard to pub- lic office for honorably discharged Union sol- diers, and tho other against traffic in intoxicat- ing liquors, the Vice-President laid before the Senate Mr. Stewart's resolution expressing the profound sorrow of the Senate at THE DEATH OF JOHN BRIGHT. Mr. She: yn suggested that the resolution had better be referred to the committee on foreign relations, as its adoption might estab- lish a precedent that would return to plague the Senate. Mr. Hawley remarked that no such occasion was likely to arise again. Ifthe United States had ever hada friend in time of need that friend was John Bright. Mr. Hoar thought that, in this particular case, the Senate was safe, as it was not at all likely that a state of things would again arise that would establish between the United States and the citizen of a foreign country the peculiar relations of respect on one side and of tender, grateful affection on the other that ex- isted in this country toward the great English statesman who had just gone to his tomb. WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF LAFAYETTE there was no other citizentof a foreign country for whose memory the American people enter- tained so strong an attachment. This country had been engaged in a struggle for its life, the republic, the Constitution, the constitutional liberty, freedom, not of one race but of the common people of every race, had been in is- sue and at stake in the great struggle of twenty- five years ago. If there was any people from whom the United States might have hoped for sympathy in that dreadful contest it was the nglish people, from whom the American peo- ple had derived their language, their instit tions, their laws and their _ princi- le of constitutional liberty. And yet, with scarcely an exception, the great statesmen of England, her men of letters, her men of rank, the men who were leaders in her social life, manifested unmistaka- bly their sympathy with the rebellion and their exultation at the prospect that the great re- public was approaching its end. It was the yoice-and influence of John Bright which aroused the sentiment of the common ipecpls, of the laboring men of Great ‘itain, ‘ pe ruigiake which her eonaa A eg = - ale feelin; wi oh As pe ‘bUhalt “af the rebellion impossible. There were few finer utterances in all literature, few nobler and stimulant utterances in the eloquence of con- stitutional liberty than those magnificent sen- tences of John Bright, in which he pictured THE FUTURE OF THE UNITED STATES and its relations to the future hopes of human- ity. The Senator from Ohio (Mr. Hoar thought) might not fear that the precedent to be established by the resolution would return to trouble either of them during the period of their puolic service. He hoped that the motion to refer would be withdrawn, and that the resolution would be adopted. MR. TELLER IN FAVOR OF THE RESOLUTION. Mr. Teller also advocated the adoption of the resolution. If any man (he said) in the present generation, or in the preceding generation, was enlitled to such distinction, no one would deny that John Bright was entitled to it. For more than sixty years that illustrious Englishman had stood on the exponent of the highest and best that was known to the English-speaking people. He was a humanitarian, with sympa- thies as broad and great as the whole world. _ His sympathies went out to the, suffering and ‘down-trodden of all the world, and he stood to-day as the central figure among men who spend their lives in defense of the great principles of which American institutions are founded, He agreed with Mr. Hoar that the adoption of the resolution would not be likely to prove @ precedent to plague the United States Senate, because John Brights were ex- ceedingly rare. He trusted that the resolution would be adopted without dissent. MR. SHERMAN WITHDRAWS HIS MOTION. Mr. Sherman, while yielding to none in res- pect to Mr. Bright, was opposed to the example which the resolution would set, but he would offer no obstacle to it and would withdraw the motion to refer. Mr. Reagan referred to the false step taken by the House of Representatives some years ago in passing a resolution complimentary to a member of the German reichstag, and having it returned disdainfully by Prince Bismarck, He thought that the ending resolution would establish a Pani peevedenk andecteiithieue a esteun igi hereafter be ‘asked to adopt resolutions of regret whenever a foreign statesman or revolutionist might die. He. there- fore, renewed Mr. Sherman’s motion to refer the resolution to the committee on foreign relations. MR. STEWART OPPOSED THE REFERENCE of the resolution and favored its adoption. He eulogized the character of Mr. Bright asa leader among men. After further debate the resolution was re- ferred to the committee on foreign relations, to the astonishment of many people, who had no doubt of its adoption. VICE-PRESIDENT MORTON'S FAREWELL. The Vice-President delivered a neat littie fare- well address, and upon motion of Mr. Edmunds MR. INGALLS WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT PRO TEM. to serve during the absence of the Vice-Presi- dent. Mr. Morton vacated the chair that this might be done before adjournment. The question has been under discussion whether or not a President pro tem. must be re-elected every time the Vice-President is ab- sent, or‘whether he may be chosen once for the whole term as a sort of third Vice-President. Without raising this question the fact that Mr. Ingalls is presi at the hour of adjournment leaves him the President pro tem. during the entire recess, and should the Vice-President for any reason be absent when the Senate again convenes Mr. Ingalls will be the presiding officer without re- IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. The Senate went into executive session about twenty minutes before 2 o'clock, and again took up the controversy over the confirmation of the DELEGATES TO THE CONGRESS OF AMERICAN REPUBLICS to be held in Washington. At yesterday's ex- ecutive session the democrats generally and some of the republicans, conspicuously Senator Frye, opposed the confirmation. Whether this opposition is earnest enough to threaten the re- ion of any of the delegates is uncertain and must be devel to-day. ‘Two Senators went to Mr. Blaine last evening to see if any revision of the list could be made, a ree eee aes ee ae that as Saag enna os —— pression seems to be that entire list will be confirmed, THE NOMINATIONS TO-DAY, Assistant Commissioner of Patents— Naval ‘The President to-day sent the following nom- inations to the Senate: Robert J. Fisher. of Chicago, IIL, to be as- sistant commissioner of patents, vice Robert B. Vance, resigned. Navy—Commander Bartlett J. Cromwell to be a captain, Lieut.-Commander George R.

White, marine corps, to be a first-lieutenant, SENT TO SIBERIA, The Case of Kempinski—Is It Like that of Count Cypriani ? The Department of State has been informed by the United States secretary of legation at St. Petersburg that he has already requested the Russian government to investigate the case of Kempinski, who is said to be a naturalized American citizen, who was sent to Siberia by the Russian authorities upon his return to Russia, It has been reported to the depart- ment that Kempinski was eighteen or nineteen years of age when he left Russia for the United States. While the department will investigate the case thoroughly, there is need for caution, for with this statement of the case it may appear that Kempinski was eligible for military service, and that his emigration to the United States was nothing less than military desertion, ‘The need for deliberate action in such cases is exemplified in the case of Count Cypriani, about which the press was much disturbed a year ago, It was asserted that the count, an American citizen, had returned to Italy only to be seized and thrown into a dungeon. Careful inquiry by the Department of State revealed that Count Cypriani was not an Amer- ican citizen; that he was not in an Italian dungeon; that he did not return to Italy, but stopped at Corsica upon learning that he was liable to arrest if he did return, Last week the count took out his naturalization papers, and is now an American citizen.

OUR SHIPWRECKED SAILOR BOYS New Zealand Offers Them a Vessel. ENGLISH ANXIETY ABOUT HER NAVY The Spring Crop of Labor Troubles. A FRANCO-ITALIAN ALLIANCE. A Possibility Which Makes All English- men Desire a Big Navy. Special Cable Dispatch to Tue EVENING Stan. Loxpox, April 2.—The government's naval resolution was carried yesterda: after a series of divisions, the crucial one giving a majority of 118. The real battle will come on the bills giving effect to the resolution, but the govern- ment’s victory is assured. The most remarka- ble feature of the debate wes the declaration of the Rt. Hon. Henry Campbell Bannerman, ex- liberal first lord of the navy, on behalf of the opposition leaders, that they fully accepted the doctrine of the necessity of the British fleet being at least equal to the fleet of any two pow- ers in the world. This marks a great advance, as hitherto the liberals have limited them- selves to asserting the necessity of the suprem- acy of the British navy—that is, its superiority to any one fleet. I have reason to know this change is due to a recognition of a French and Italian alliance as within the range of possibil- ities. A German alliance is not popular in Italy as a whole, but an alliance with France to turn England out of Egypt is quite possible. In such a case England would, with her present navy, have to flee from the Mediterranean, MAORI COURTESY. New Zealand Places a Steamship at Admiral Kimberly’s Disposal.

He declared that the testimony of the three hundred and forty wit- nesses produced by Attorney-General Webster, He admitted that crime prevailed in Irelatd to a greater or lesser degree. and said that the collapse of the Times’ case in the matter of the alleged Parnell letters abolished the pith and marrow of the inquiry. The court was asked by the Times to indict a whole nation, a pro- H, | ceeding which Burke had declared to be infeas- ible. Judicial rules were invalid when a whole people moved. He declared that thoughtful minds were convinced that the time had come to try the experiment of home rule in Ireland. The Proposed Reduction in Lumber Rates.

But even if the arbitration should be against a re- duction, the roads can put the reduced rate into effect ten days thereafter, and it is said that the Chicago and Alton will put the ten- cent rate into effect, as it cannot get any buri- ness at present rates on account of the yellow pine competition from southern points, The Contest for John Bright’s Seat.

THE IOWA LAND TROUBLES. | Prospect that They Will be Reopened in the Aggravated Form.
