The House bill to simplify the laws in rela- tion to the collection of customs revenue was presented and (on motion of Mr. Morrill) or- dered to be printed and referred to the finance committee in order (as Mr. Morrill stated) that it may be considered tomorrow by that com- mittee. Mr. Hoar presented the resolutions adopted atamass meeting held recently in Tremont temple, Boston, on the subject of the cruel de- privation of colored people of the right to take part in elections in some of the southern states, read the substance of them and had them re- ferred to the committee on privileges and elec- tions. REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES, Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar wore the following: To increase the limit of cost for a public build- ing at Sacramento, Cal., to $300,000, and mak- ing an appropriation of $150,000; to increase the limit of cost for the public building at El Paso, Tex., from $150, to $200,000; to in- crease the appropriation for the site and build- ing at Omaha, Neb., to $2,000,000; appropri- ating $75,000 for a public building (and site) at Annapolis, Md.; for the establishment of a na- tional zoological park in the District of Colum- bin; to fix the salary of the several district judges of the United States at $5,000 (Mr. George, a member of the judiciary committee, stating his dissent); further to increase the naval establishment of the United States, Mr. Chandler presented the views of the minority, signed by himself only, He said that there were other dissenting member of the committee, but they had not signed his report, Mr. McPherson inquired whether a written report giving the views of the majority had been presented, ‘Mr. Haie replied in the negative. tt McPherson. —I dissent from the views of the majority. As I have had no op- portunity of looking at the minority report made by the Seuator from New Hamp- shire Iknow nothing of what it contains and do not know whether I agree with him or not. At some future time, before the bill is taken up in the Senate, I may see fit to present my views in writing, a8 1 am also in the minority, Mr. Hale—The views of the majority of the committee will be presented as fully as possible when the bill is called up, and I give notice that, with the leave of the Senate, I will bring the vill up some time next week, BILLS INTRODUCED. Among the bills introduced and referred were the following: By Mr. Hoar—To provide for inquests under national authority; also for the adjustment of accounts of laborers, workmen and mechanics under the eight-hour law. By Mr. Cameron—for Mr. Quay (Pa.)—Au- thorizing the construction of ‘a bridge across the East river, New York. By Mr. Hale—To require the superintendent of census to ascertain the number of ,people who own fe and -homes end the amount of mortgage indebtedness thereon. A DISTRICT BILL, By Mr. Dawes—For the appointment of a superintendent of charity in the District of Columbia, By Mr. Chandler—For the erection of a monu- ment to Matthew Fontaine Maury of Virginia, By Mr. Pasco—To reimburse the several states for the interest paid by them on money raised for war fee Sancsesd in the late war. By Mr, Cockrell—To repeal the silver coinage bill of February 28, 1878, and to require the purchase and coinage of five million 4 month in standard silver dollars, Mr. Cockrell respectfully requested the finance committee, to which the bill was re- ferred, to take immediate uction upon it and to report it back to the Senate for its action. ‘The bill heretofore passed by the Senate for abridge across the Missouri river in Douglas county was reconsidered and (on motion of Mr. Frye) was amended by providing that the bridge shall not be located within one-third of a mile of any existing bridge, and the bill was ‘again passed. On motion of Mr. Call the adverse report heretofore made by the committee on foreign relations in regard to the establishment of a republic in Cuba was placed on the calendar, so that he may hereafter address the Senate on the subject. THE ABERDEEN, MISS., OUTHAGE, The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Chandler calling on the Attorney General for the report of the United States marshal for the northern district of Mississippi concerning the maltreatment of Henry J. Faunce at Aberdeen, Miss., was taken up for consideration, Mr. Walthall addressed the Senate. It could not be possibly pretended, he thought, that Congress had any jurisdiction of the sub- ject. It had been referred to by the distinguished Senator from Kansas (Mr. Ingalls) last ‘Ihursday in his (Mr. Walthall’s) absence. But from reading the report of the Senator's remarks he saw that he had commented on the hanging in effigy of Secretary Proctor at Aber- en and on a most brutal and outrageous assault committed on the citizen named in the resolution. From what he (Mr. Walthall) had heard of that affair, he felt warranted in saying that it was simply the wantor conduct of a tew per- sous, disapproved by the community in which it occurred. He knew that community intimately, but he had never before heard of the persons concerned in thatoutrage. Speak- ing for himself and representing the senti- ment of the people all over Mississippi and of the south, he condemned unqualifiedly and unreservedly that outrage on the Secretary of War and on the citizen named in the resolu- tion, IMPORTANT NOMINATIONS, A Minister to Corea, Several Consuls, an Assistant Treasurer, Etc. The President sent to the Senate today the following nominations: Augustine Heard of Massachusetts to be minister resident and consul general of the United States to Corea, Louis Gottschalk of California, consul at Stuttgart, John A. Winter of Illinois, consul at Mann- heim. Richard Guenther of Wisconsin, consul gen- eral at the City of Mexico, Thomas McDermott of Tennessee, consul at St. Thomas, West Indics. Geo. M.

Adopted, UNITED STATES PRISONERS. The House, in committee of the whole, pro- ceeded to consider the bill appropriating $1,500,000 for the erection of three United States prisons and for the imprisonment of United States prisoners.

The subcommittee of the special House com- mittee on the world’s fair was in session for an hour this morning engaged in carrying out the instructions to formulate a bill providing for nolding a fair in 1892, The Chicago and New York bills were used as the basis for the new bill, and such sections as are acceptable to all of the competing cities were arranged in a pre- liminary manner to form the rough draft of the subcomunittee bill, The committee constructed the first eight sections of their bill from the suggestions in the Chicago, St. Louis and New York bills, and adopted the St. Louis plan for a board of con- trol, to be composed of the representatives of the city selected as the site and of two mem- bers from each state. tobe appointed by the governors.

The Report that the Pennsylvania Sena- tor Will Retire. The report that Postmaster General Wana- maker is to bo a candidate for the senatorial position now held by Semator Cameron and which expires March 3, 1891, caused little comment at the Capitol today, mainly be- cause the story is an old one. Quite frequently the statement has been made that Senator Cameron desired to get out of politics, but Mr. Cameron has never been identified as the author of such a statement. He was asked today by a Stan reporter if he was really anxious to retire, but his reply was rather unsatisfactory, “TI have n to about it,” said he. sear SRT re ae it it,’ And he hurried off incom with Senator Wolcott, who was making bh hasty efforts to reach the Senate restaurant.

He is Going to Show the Police What He Can do When He is Out of Jail. New York, Jan, 27.John Most, in speaking of Herr Bebel’s charge, cabled from Berlin yesterday, that Most’s paper, the Freiwit, was the product of secret police agents and provo- cateurs, said: ‘He isa liar; there is no truth in it whatever. The German socialists are try- ing to help themselves politically at the ex- pense of the anarchists, Provocateurs exist here in America, They are police officials or Pinkerton men, who incite men to do do wrong and then arrest them while they were doing it. I have had experience with them, but they did not catch me, I understand that game. It was in that way that they sent poor Proneck, the Chicago anarchist, to prison for twelve years. I willsoon get out of jail and then I will show the police and their provocateurs what I can do.” THE OLD LADY’S RHEUMATISM. Queen Victoria Has a Tale of Woe— Possible Liberal Victory.
