Among the executive communications pre- sented and referred was one from the Secre- tary of the Navy transmitting the “policy” re- port. The Secretary says that he is perfectly satisfied with the capacity of this country to complete the eight battle ships reoommended by the department. As to what he considered | an effective navy, the Secretary refers to what he said on that subject in his annual report. The House bill to provide certificates of honorable service to those who have served in the United States navy or marine corps and who have lost their certificates of discharge was espe backs from the committee on naval fairs and passed without amendment, BILLS REPORTED. Among the bills reported and placed on the calendar was one for a further appropriationof $350,000 for the public building at Los Angeles, Cal, Mr. Ingails introduced a bill for the erection of a monument to Abraham Lincoin on the Gettysburg: battle field. Referred to library committee, DEBTS DUE BY THE SOUTHERN STATES. Mr. Ingalls offered a long preamble and res- olution as to debts due by southern states on Indian trust funds and on the direct tax of 1861. This resolution directs the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish the Senate with full information on the subject. Agreed to, THE FREE BRIDGE OVER THE POTOMAC, Mr. Gorman offered a resolution, which was agreed to, directing the Secretary of War to cause the chief of engineers to examine and report whether or not the aqueduct bridge over the Potomac river at Georgetown is or is not an obstacle to the navigation of the Potomac river, Mr, Frye offered a resolution, which was referred, fixing the salary of three assistant doorkeepers of the Senate at $2,592. THE PROPOSED CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL IN PHILA- DELPUIA. Mr. Frye presented a memorial asking mate- rial aid for astructure at Philadelphia com- memorating the great events of the first cen- tury of national life. He said that it was signed by the governors of the thirteen original states, by Mr. Cleveland (while president), by all the members of Mr. Cl@eland’s cabinet, by all the Senators and members from the thirteen origi- nal states and by all the governors of all the states of the Union. He commended the sub- boepeilad the consideration of the library com- mittee. The memorial was referred to that com- mittee, THE SILVER COINAGE BILL, 5 Mr. Mitchell proceeded to address the Senate on the billfor the free coinage of silver. He referred to the subject as one of the most im- | paler that had been brought before the nate and the country. It was nota party question, but ratherongon which the people and the people's representatives were divided irrespective of pay lines. It involved a con- test not, as had asserted, between friends and enemies of hOhest money, nor. between wild inflationists on the one side and con- servative men on the other. It was a subject rising, in importance, to a‘much higher plane and involving questions of vital public interest, THE SECRET SESSION. At 2:30 p.m., when Mr. Mitchell concluded his remarks, the Senate went into secret ses-, sion. SUPERVISORS OF CENSUS. A List of Sixty Names Sent to the Senate Today.

R, BLAINE Goop HEALTH. Why He was Absent From the Cabinet Meeting Yesterday. The absence of Mr. Blaine from yesterday's cabinet meeting and his continned absence from the State department from day to day have encouraged the beliefeamong some people that he has not rallied from the shock of his son's death and is seri- ously ailing himself. This is entirely untrue. as a Srar reporter was told this morning by a gentleman who has an intimate acquaintance with the Secretary. He is in good health and is rapidly picking up the loose threads of his work, which he was obliged to drop when Walker died. He does not go to the depart- ment, however, except when his pres- ence there is necessary, and he has taken to attending to his duties at his home on Lafayette square, whither his private secretary, Mr. Dent, has re- moved his typewriter and the other para- pees of his work. The foreign ministers ave fallen into the habit of calling at the house instead of the department and this morning the Secretary had a long conterence with Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British mins- ter, in his parlors, The reason for the Secretary's absence from the cabinet meeting yesterd was that he spent the morning aud a portion of the after- noon in a discussion with the American dele- gates to the Pan-American congress of the pro- gram and policy to be followed in the delibera- tions of that body. Mrs. Coppinger, the Secretary's eldest daugh- ter, was seized last night with a slight attack of ® malarial complaint, but was considerably better this morning. No alarm is felt as to her general health, OLD AND USELESS DOCUMENTS Occupying Valuable Space in the Treas- ury Department? The Secretary of the Treasury today trans- mitted to the Senate a report of the chief clerk of the department with regard to the accumu- lation of old and useless papers in the department. The Secretary recommends that early action be taken by Congress, as the transaction of the public business is re- tarded because of the accumulation of papers now useless in the corridors and file rooms. Mr. Brackett, the chief clerk, says that the crowded condition of tho files space in the Treasury building is becoming a very serious matter and one calling for immediate attention, An appropriation of $2.000 is asked for to pay the expenses which must be incurred by the removal of the papers in question from the attic and other stories to the basement, where they can be either delivered to the purchaser in case of sale or destroyed if it be deemed im- proper to sell any portion of such papers, FOR A NEW POST OFFICE, A Bill Introduced Today for a Site and # Building. The House committee on public buildings aud grounds today authorized a favorable re- port upon Mr. Milliken’s bill for the purchase of a site for a city post office at Washington, The bill provides for the site merely, and an amendment was adopted making an appropria- tion of $800,000 for the erection of the build- ing. This makes the full amount of the bill $1,075,000. The provisions of the bill authorize the Sec- retary of State to purchase the eastern end of square 380 or all that part of the square east of the Washington safe deposit company's build- ing. This is the square between C street and Pennsylvania avenue, 9th and 10th streets northwest. The sum’ of €275,000 is appro- priated for the purpose. The Secretary 1s authorized to purchase the ground at the prices named and which is described ina pro- of the owners or agents there- of, dated February 6, 1888, and where such purchase cannot be made to have the parceis condemned, by agreement with the agent or owner, at the price named in the schedule. Provision is made for acquiring by condem- nation in the usual way any ground within the limits described that cannot be obtained by negotiation. A CANE FOR THE PRESIDENT, And the Old Man Who Came All the Way From New York to Present It. Patrick Rowan, an old man from Haverstraw, Rockland county, N. Y., arrived Bere this morn- ing on an early train and soon found his way to the White House. He had with him a cane which he said he wanted to present to the President. It was an odd looking stick with thirty-six large knots on it and tied about with two dozen bows of red, white and blue and orange colored ribbon. The old man, it appeared by his rambling talk, im- agined that by an arrangement between John Kelly, the late Tammany chief, and himself Russell Harrison had been placed in charge of the poor department and he was anxious to see that gentleman. Sergt. Johnson took charge of him and escorted him to police quarters, where Sanitary Officer ik was introduced to him as Russell Harrison. Rowan was glad to make his acquaintance. “I AM AN IRISH WARRIOR,” he said, “but Iam for America, I was in Ire- land two months ago, but I wouldn't live there if the queen would give me the whole country.” The cane, he said, came from Africa and was seven hundred years old; the name of the wood*was not known and several million dollars had been bet on it in New York. The old man fired off several other romances, and said that he had knocked down two policemen this morn- ing. He told Sanitary Officer Frank that when he left home the le made fan of him and his children wanted main there, but when he gets back he can tell them that he had breakfast with the President and that his cane was accepted. He left the cane in charge of Mr. Frank, who, he thinks, is if tions to give it to Telegrams to The Star. SAYS TOM TO CHAUNCEY. “Mr. Depew, This Ten Million | Bill ’Il Never Do.” MR.

While the senate was debating the bill the assembly adjourned until tomorrow. Its | concurrence is thus put off twenty-four hours. The Platt scheme of crushing the bill be- tween the two houses has been successfully carried out, The amendment proposed by Senator Irwin, from the special committee on the world’s fair, added twenty-two new exhibition commission- ers, of whom eighteen are republicans and four democrats, THE HAND OF PLATT. The names were chiefly those proposed by Platt, When the bill was thus reported the democrata proposed that the senate act on the assembly bill, as, if the independent senate bill were acted on, a single objection in the as- sembly would force the bill through all the processes of a new bill and would delay it until next week, While this question was raised in the senate the assembly cut its session short right after the opening prayer. The assembly's adjourn- ment thus left only two alternatives before the senate: Either to pass the assembly bill without the Platt amendment and send the bill to the governor today or pass the senate bill with the Platt amendment, thus preventing assembly action until tomorrow. ‘The democrats stood by the former course, the republicans insisted on the latter and the senate bill was unanimously passed. A single objection in the assembly can now delay the consideration in that body atevery stage.

Sax Fraxcrsco, Jan. 29.—It now seems prob- able that the great blockade on the Sierras will soon be over. The big rotary plow has been dug from the snow in Cascade Canon and bas done splendid work since. The track is now clear as far as the plow can clear it.
