NEW BILLS IN BOTH HOUSES. The Senate. The Senate reassembled at noon, after the holiday recess, with the Vice President in the chair and with less than a quorum of Senators in the chamber. Among the numerous petitions presented and referred were two from Kansas and Texas, the former urging the selection of Chicago and the latter of St. Louis as the place for the in- ternational exposition of 1892, Mr. Platt presented the copy of a constitution adopted at Boise City for the proposed state of Icaho and it was referred to the committee on territories, A bill to iucrease the pay of army chaplains was reported back adversely from the commit- tec on military affairs and was indefinitely post- po.ed, BILLS INTRODUCED. Among the bills introduced and referred were the following: By Mr. Frye—To promote ocean mail service between the United States and foreign ports and to promote commerce; for the encourage- ment of commerce, the protection of naviga- tion and the improvement of the merchant ma- rine, and to amend the law for the regulation of steam vessels. By Mr. Keagan—To prevent transportation of merchandise m bond trom the ports and terri- tories of the United States into the republic of Mexico and to restore that privilege when the zona libra along the boundary between the two countries is abolished. By Mr. Cutiom ( the Secretary of th farmers at 2 per cent, By Mr. Hale—For the appointment and re- tirement of John ©. Fremont as major general in the United States army. [The bill that passed the Senate the last Congress. ] MR. CHANDLER'S PROPO! CONSTIUTIONA L AMENDMENT, By Mr. Chandler—Proposing an amendment to the Constitution, so that if any state shall fail to epact or {effectually to enforce laws against murder and other felonies Congress may provide for punishing those crimes within such state. HOSPITAL FOR SOLDIERS AT HOT SPRINGS. Mr. Plumb offered a resolution (which was agrecd to) directing the managers of national soldiers’ homes to consider and report upon the advisability of establishing a hospital at Hot Springs, Ark., to which all disabled ex- Union soldiers shall be admitted under proper recommendations, THE ALASKA SEAL ERIES. Mr. Plumb also offered the following resolu- tion, which was laid on the table for further action: request)—Authorizing ‘reasury to loan money to Whereas, The Secretary of the gfreasury has public advertisement —ii- vited bids for leasing the islands of | St. Paul and St. George, in the territory of | Alaska, for a period of twenty years; and, whereas, the law under which said proposal is issued was passed about twenty years ago and the circumstances and conditions existing in Alaska and with reference to the seal industry have materially changed during that period; and, whereas, it has been charged, upon the authority of a late governor of Alaska, that the Alaska commercial company, now occupying said islands under lease from the government, has exercised its privileges oppressively and against the interests of both the natives and the government; and, whereas, said company claims that itis the only person or organi- zation which can successfully compete for the lease invited by the Secretary of the ‘Treas- ury, as aforesaid, and there is every reasoy to believe that under present legislation and con- ditions the lease proposed will be made to said Alaska commerciai company substantially with- out competition; therefore, Resolved, That the Secretary of the Treas- ury be requested not to make a new lease of said island until further action by Congress, or until the latest period made necessary by ex- isting law, and that meanwhile he make full report to the Senate as to the manner in which the said Alaska com- mercial company has discharged its duties and obligations under the preseut lease and also what additional legislation, if any, is necessary | in order that the interests of the government and those of the natives and citizens of Alaska may be more fully protected.
