THE WORLD’S FAIR BILL, Amended by the House Committee so as to Delay Action in the House, More delay in the interest of New York was secured at the meeting of the world’s fair com- mittee of the House today. The resolution offered in the House on Saturday and referred to the committee was amended so as to provide for the debate to begin in the House on Thursday instead of Tuesday, to extend over Friday and the vote to be taken on Monday, a week from today. An attempt by Mr, Hitt to secure earlier action was de- feated and the chairman was authorized to re- port the resolution as amended. THE NEW YORKERS STILL. HAVE HOPES, The New York men still have hopes that their folks at home may come to some agreement or that the fair may be postponed until 1893 and then go to New York without politics entering into it. The talk of providing for some sort of hall, auditorium or institution of learning in Wash- ington, the corner stone to be laid im "92 with ceremonies in commeration of the discovery of America, is being renewed with the hope of compromising the matter in that way and let- ting the fair go to one of the other cities. Death of Capt. W. P. Sanger. Capt. W. P. Sanger, civil engineer of the United States navy, retired, died at his resi- dence, 3809 Prospect avenue, Georgetown, yes- terday, after a lingering illness, in his cightieth year. He was one of the best known and most highly respected of the retired officers living in this city, The funeral will take place to- morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock from St, John’s church, Georgetown, and the interment will be st oak nuns a constructed the mevy gard.

The Oklahoma Bill and Other Measures Reported From Committees. a 5 THE SENATE. Mr. Dawes presented over two hundred and forty petitions from Massachusetts, stating that more than 800,000 gailons of intoxicating liquors are annually exported from the United States to Africa, demoralizing ‘the good peo- ple (he changed that phase into “the peo- le") of Africa and detrimental to all legitimate commerce with that people; and praying that under that section of the Consti- tution which authorizes Congress to regulate commerce with foreign nations that sort of thing shall be stopped. He asked that the pe- tition be referred to the committee on educa- tion and labor, and he invoked tho careful con- sideration of that committee to the subject. So referred. MISSISSIPPI ELECTIONS METHODS COMPLAINED OF. Mr. Chandler presented several petitions from Mississippi complaining of the suppres- sion of the republican yote in that state and representing that the ‘so-called legislature of Mississippi” bad recently enacted a law for es- tablishing a new constitution for the state on the 12th of August, 1890—the same not to be submitted to the people for ratification, and that it was the avowed purpose of the demo- crats to employ fraudulent methods to deprive many intelligent citizens of their franchise. Referred to the committee on privileges and elections, OTHER PETITIONS. Mr. Blair presented petitions signed by 36,000 members of the G.A.R. in favor of pen- sions to army nurses and petitions signed by over 4,000,000 persons in favor of the educa- tional bill. Among other petitions presented were several for a per diem pension bill, for the removal of the limitation on pension arrears and for a bounty to soldiers of the regular army who served in the war of the rebellion. THE PACIFIO RAILROADS FUNDING BILL. Mr. Frye, frum the select committee on the Pacific railroads, reported back adversely the two Pacific railroad funding bills referred toit, and in lieu of them reported an original bill on the subject, with two reports, one of these ro- ports touching the Union Pacific indebtedness and the other the Central Pacific indebtedness, ‘The latter (he said) had been drafted by the Senator from Minnesota (Mr. Davis). He explained that the reason why the two bills were reported back adversely was that the committee had finally succeeded (to its own satisfaction) in consolidating these bills into one. This bill (now presented) contained the terms of an adjustment with both companies— the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific, The report had been unanimously adopted by tho committee. The bill, so far as Union Pacific was concerned, hadalso been unanimously reported, He might almost say the same of it in relation to the Central Pacific; he ought perhaps to say that the Senator from Indiana ie. Tur- pie) thought that the Central Pacific company could the same rate of interest (8 per cent) as the Union Pacific was to pay. That was the only difference of opinion that he knew of in the committee touching the bill. By the bill the Union Pacific company was required to pay 3 per cent interest and pay its debt in fifty years, It was required to give a mortgage on all its property of every name and description. The committee found that that additional prop- erty which the United States re- ceived «as additional security amounted to a great deal more than the debt due to the United States, making the ultimate payment of the debt as certain as anything human could be. As to the Central Pacitic company, the bill required the payment of its debt in seventy-five years, with interest at the rate of 2 per cent. But the committee. recog- nizing the present serious condition of the Central Pacific company and the ab- solute necessity for its building several very important bridges in California, as well as building some additional lines of rail- road there, had determined that i per cent of the 2 per cent should be capitalized for the first ten Ag that being done the Central Pacific would have to pay for the first ten years about $650,000 a year (and there was no doubt that it cguld do that) and about $1,400,000 “a year at the end of ten years, It was quite a leap from the $650,000 to #1,400,000, but be- tween now and ten yours hence it was expected that the Central Pacific (having set- tled with the United States) could fund at least twenty millions of its other indebtedness, which now paid 6 per cent interest, at from 4 to 4!¢ per cent, and that — that waving interest alone would enable the company to meet that additional requirement. At the end of twenty years the amount to be paid by the Central Pacific would be $1,700,000 annually until the final payment was made, which would be within seventy-five ears, Mr. Frye added that the two companies an not yet signified their acquiescence in the of THE UNION PACIFIC had done 80, at the last session, in relation to @ bill which made the same require- ments; but he was informed now that the Union Pacific company did not think that it could pay over 2!¢ per cent interest, The committee, however, which bad spent a good deal of time and patience and care on the subject—having but one arpose in view (to protect the intor- ests of the United States government without doing harm to the railroad companies)—be- lieved that the Union Pacitic company could pay the 3 per cent and pay the debt in fifty years, As tothe Central Pacific company, its officials had stated that they could not pay more than 13¢ per centiuterest and could not pay the ‘whole debt in less than 125 years, and one distinguished and im- portant official of the company had an entirely different proposition not made by any of the bills, The committee recognized the difference in condition between the Central Pacific Soe aud the Union Pacific company, and the difficulties which the Central Pacitic would encounter and the Union | Pacific would not. MR. BLAIR HAS THE FLOOR. After the presentation of miscellancous busi- ness the Senate at 2 o'clock took up the educa- tional aid bill, Senator Blair resuming his speech. NOMINATIONS TODAY. The President today sent to the Senate the following nominations: United States Marshals: Hatson B. Saun- ders, district of Maine; Wm. G, Long, northern district of California, Postmasters: Edward B. Lyon, Dayton, 0.; Edward D, Rhodes, Rensselaer, Ind.; Lincoln M. Gray, Longview, Tex.; Daniel Gunn, Sul- phur Springs, Tex. Supervisor of Census: Wilson H. Soale, t district, Indiana, Withdrawn—Receivers of public moneys: Malcolm D. Mix, at Del Norte, Col.; John A. Percivil, Devil's Lake, N. D. HOUSE. arose it would go to some other forum. It was the purpose of his side of the House to see that this occasion should be made in such shape as would permit it to be finally and decisively passed upon. Therefote he now saw no reason ie the journal, the form of which the House had a Se to prescribe, should not be ap- proved. This was done. ? On motion of Mr. Morrill (Kan.) s com- mittee of conference was ordered upon the Senate bill to increase the pension of soldiers and sailors totally helpless from injuries or dis- ease received or incurred in sorvice, and the Speaker named Messrs, Morrow, Sawyer and ‘oder as conferees, . The Speaker announced that this was sus- Pension day and THE COMMITTEES WERE CALLED IN ORDER. On motion of Mr. Culberson (Tex.), in be- half of the judiciary committee, a bill was passed for the relief of Frank A. Lee. Mr. Lanham (Tex.), from the committee on military affairs, moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill providing for the sale or removal of the improvements thereon, the purchase of anew site and the erection of suitable build- ings thereon, Mr. Cannon (Ill.) made the point of order that the committee had not instructed the gentleman to take this course, Mr. Lanham asserted that the members of the committee had informally authorized his action; but the Speaker sustained the point of order and the bill was withdrawn, Mr, Payson (IIL), from the committee on public lands, mo: pass the bill providing for the compulsory at tendance of witnesses before registers and re- ceivers of local land offices. Mr. MeMillin (Tenn.), however, made im- ilar point of order against this bill and it was withdrawn. THE OKLAHOMA BILL. “ Mr. Struble (Iowa) was more fortunate, as he had secured the formal instruction of the com- mittee on territories to request the assuage of a resolution making the ill to provide a temporary form of government for the territory of Oklahoma a special order for consideration tomorrow not to interfere with the world’s fair bills. A second *was ordered and Mr. Struble pro- ceeded to explain the necessity for speedy ac- tion upon the Oklahoma bill. He said that tho bill had passed the Senate last week, but the House committee on terri- tories had this morning directed the substitu- tion for it of the bill already favorably re- ported by the committee to the House, There were now one hundred thous- and law-abiding citizens in Oklahoma who earnestly desired the establishment of some form of government for the country to prevent the development of friction that has already begun to manifest itself. Mr. Springer (ill.) also urged prompt action upon bill, Mr. McMillin (Tenn.) said that as the matter was said to be of the first importance its con- sideration shouldnot be interrupted by the world’s fair bills or anything else, The resolution was then passed without ob- jection.
