A new element has made its appearance in the conflict which is waging between the press gallery of the Senate and the Senate itself. Heretofore there have been but two ideas— one, that of the Senators insisting on their Tight to absolute secrecy while in executive session; the other, that of the newspaper men, demanding that confidence reposed in them shall be free from senatorial assault, And now comes the spirit of conference and possi- ble compromise. SENATOR INGALLS’ SUGGESTION. The suggestion comes from Senator Ingalls and it will be made when the Senate next takes up for consideration the cases of those corre- spondents who are held to be in contempt. ‘The proposition, as stated by the Senator to a Sram reporter this morning, wil be to have the Senate, tkrough the committee on rules or a special committee, invite the newspaper men to confer with them, so that an understanding may be rea |. Senator In- ves there now existy mutual mis- rsonallg,” am in favor of ex- hausting all the courtesy and diplomacy that can be applied to the situation before we insist on the protection the lnw affords us, If harsh measures are resorted to we shall be blameless in the matter,” Other Senators, who did not caref§to be noted, talked freely of the inharmonious con- ition of affairs, and there was a decided una~' nimity of sentiment as to the wrong which they believe is being done by the press. They say that the treatment to which they are being sub- jected is unfair and lacks the elements of decency. TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION, “You occupants of the press gallery are our guests,” said one, ‘and we haye never been anything but liberal in our dealings with you. We have given youa private gallery, from whieh @very one except yourselves is excluded by rigid rules, You are furnished with all nec- essary accommodations and youare not even called upon to pay your stationery bills, We treat you with every respect and have the kindliest feelings toward you, yet because we will not give you our picosenines while in executive session you abuse us and ridicule matters of which you cannot know much nor know even that little with any de- gree of precision. THE POPULAR IDEA OF THE EXECUTIVE SESSION— born of the misstatements and alleged humor of the press—is that we are like children out on afrolic and that we gossip as old ladies do ata tea fight. This is unjust, untrue and un- gentiemauly. Did you ever stop to think that we are performing a duty similar to that of the cabi- net. Our functions are executive and we pass upon precisely the same matters as have been considered by the President and his odicial family, yet we never hear popular or demand for publics of cabinet, We do not play in executive session; we perform the dutics which the Coustitution demands of us. Personally, I give you all the information which Lean with propriety make public, but because l regard the rules of the Senate I am abused withcut stint.” ANOTHER SENATOR'S VIEWS. Another Senator, who is very much inter- ested in the work, or play, of the Dolph “smel- ling” committee, said be was in favor ef expelling from the gallery any correspondent who insulted the Senate by the publication of what purported to be a report of secret session proceedings. He would not advocate the exclusion of a newspaper, but he would insist on the guilty writers being put outand keptout. “I would treat him,” said he, ‘as | would a man who would print con- versation he might hear while a guest at my dinner tabie.” THE SECRET SESSION YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. ‘The Senate went into secret session yeste day afternoon to hear argument on the legal aspects of the contest now being carried on by the Dolph committee on the one hand and the Senate press gallery on the other, The session was flat, stale and unprofitable, When it started in there were as many opinions as tothe power of the Senate as there were Senators and when adjournment was reached at 6 o'clock both Senators and ideas were quite scarce, It was impossible to reach anything like au agreement. Tue more prominent debaters were Messrs, Evarts, Edmunds, Vest, rge, Dolph and ‘Teller, and they resurrected much history, both ancient and modern, to prove or disprove what the others advanced, After an hour and three-quarters of dry law the Senate retired for the night. THE EXECUTIVE SESSION TODAY. The Senate confirmed a few nominations after going into executive session this after- noon. The debate was then continued on Mr. Dolph’s resolution looking to the punishment of the newspaper — cor- respondents who have refused to answer the questions put to them by Mr. Dolph’s special committee as to the sources of their informa- tion respecting executive sessions, So far as can be learned the discussion was contined to the question of the power of the Senate, under the conditions that exist, to punish these witnesses for contempt. Nearly every constitutional lawyer in the Senate has spoken on tue subject and great diversity of opinion has been expressed. The probabilities are that Mr. Dolph’s resolution will be defeated by a small majority, and that Mr. Teiler’s substitute to consider nominations in open session will also be defeated, leaving the matters just as they now stand. It is suid that since the discussion began Mr. Téller's resolution has grown in favor and that itis likely to win its way to adoption betore a great w The debate was at times very hot and some of the speechos were quite leugthy. Senator Dolph insisted that “the Senate should uphoid the action of the “smelling” committee. The Seuate is satisfied of its power to im- prison the contumacious witnesses, but will re- irain at present irom doing so. Its plan, it is understood, will be to refuse the privileges of the gallery to the correspond- ents seuding out secret session matter. Senator ingalls offered 4 resulution fora discussion of the matter between the Senate and press coaimitteca. The Senate continued in executive session throughout the afternoon.

PROVISIONS OF THE BILL—POSTMASTER GENERAL WANAMAKER BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON PUD- LIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS THIS MORNING— THE DISCUSSION IN THE HOUSE. Before the House met the committee on pub- lic buudings and grounds held a session. It was developed that the committee were unani- mous in their adhesion to the Milliken bill for the city post office. POSTMASTER GENERAL WANAMARER appeared before the committee and stated bis Views as to the size and requirements of the new buildings, He was decided in his expres- sions as to the great need of a new post office. As to the question of the site he did not say specifically whether he was in favor or was op- posed to the proposed site. The general idea obtained, however, was that he thought some other site would better fill the requirements, IX THE HOUSE. The committee on public buildings and grounds as soon as the morning hour had ex- pired called up. through the chairman, Mr. Milliken, the long-expected bill providing for anew city post office for Washington. The bill, as already stated, provides that the Secretary of the Treasury is instructed in or- der to provide an eligible site for a city post office to acquire the realestate embraced in the square numbered of Washing- ton, bounded by Pennsylvania avenue on the north, C street on the south, 9th street on the east and the building of the Washington safe deposit company on the west, at a cost, all told, not exceeding $275,000, and for such purpose that sam is hereby ap- propriated, and cause to be erected thereon a ‘suitable, commodious and sub- stantial building, including fire-proof vaults, heating and ventilating apparavus, elevators and appro:.ches, for the use of a United States post office in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, the cost of the same not to exceed 500,000, amounting to $1,075,000 in all for the site, building, fire-proof vaults, heating and ventilating apparatus, elevators and approaches complete, The bill then provides for purchase and con- demnation of the ground, IN THE KEPORT ON THE BILD the committee on public buildings and grounds say: “That there is no public building in Washington for a city post office; that the post office is now kept in a_ building which the government rents which, is utterly unfit for the purpose for which it is used; that it is an old building, in bad condition, and con- tains but 20,000 square feet of floor space, while the present postmaster states that 50,000 square feet of space are needed for the convenient working of the force in his office; that there is no protection for the records aud gov- ernment property in said building from de- struction by fire; that the place is unhealthy as well as inconvenient, and that the own- ers of it now claim a_ rental from the government of $83,000 per year. The committee report that the site provided in the bill accompanying this report is bounded on three sides by streets; that it is so shaped that a building covering it can be lighted with- out using any pertof the ground floor fora well-room or coast; that the supervis- ing architect of the Treasury estimates that the plan of a post oftice building upon said lot submitted to him would afford 75.000 square feet of floor space exclusive of the basement, and the same can be built com- plete for $800,000, giving 25,000 square feet more than the present postmaster says is nox needed, and so planned and built that several stories could be added to it, if found necessary, in futuro; and he further states, that there are 327 persons employed in the present city post office. The receipts of the ottice for 1889 were $436,255.20, but it must be remeni- bered that the great bulk of mail matter handled in the Washington city pos? office cou- sists of official free matter, so that the receipts are not a correct indication of the amount of work d and space needed, The number of pieces of mail hundled in 1889 was 34,501,848. The site provided in the accompanying Dill is at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street, where or near which all the car lines in the city with one exception pass, where ail the avenue herdics pass and the people pass in golng to market, and the price asked for the land is Jess than one-half of the price of land on the north side of the avenue and less than the price of land on the south side of the aye- nue in the immediate neighborhood, and the price of the lot is less than that of any lot of- tered to the committee,” At 1:30 o'clock Mr, Milliken moved that the House resolve itself into committee of the whole for the consideration of public buildings bills, ‘The motion was agreed to and Mr. Payson of Illinois took the chair. Mr. Milliken then called up the city post oftice bill and pro- ceeded to addrevs the House. MR. MILLIKEN'S REMARKS, He said the bill was the unanimous report of the committee and he moved that the general debate be confined to forty minutes, The above report from the committee was then read. Unanimous consent was refused on this, Mr. Rogers of Arkansas then asked Mr. Milliken if the floods reached this property and Mr. Mulliken said they did not, THE JCDICIARY SQUARE AMENDMENT, Mr. Cannon proposed his amendment to the first section making Judiciary square the site, Mr. Dunnell of Tennessee took the floor in opposition to the amendment. He said Judiciary square should never have been invaded in the first place and that now to place another building there would be ex- tremely inconvemeut. The idea that the goy- ernment could not put up a build- 1 on ate ie Hope, Site Without danger of having it flooded each year was ab- surd. The amendment would defeat the ob- ject of the bill, and there was no city in. the world needed a post oftice so much as Wash n, The present building was not onl ace to the mation, but was positiv safe to life. THE QUESTION OF LOCATION had forthe past twenty-three years defeated the erection of a building and it was abont time the thing stopped. Appoint a commissson if necessary, but do not let this House adjourn until a post office was voted. ~ Row ed, He said any ‘ion settled on was for the next hundred years. The city was growing in every direction but south, and business, it was well known, was going north, and in a» few years the proposed location would be on the outskirts. He there- fore fayored the amendment, IN PAVOR OF NEITHER OF THE PROPOSED SITES, Mr. Kennedy thought that no more of the public squares should be used for buildings, but he would likewise oppose the location at Pennsylvania avenue and Yth street. He thought the location west of and facing judiciary square was the proper site. Part of this ground was now being used for police headquarters, This site, be said. could be bought for one-half what the proposed site would cost. Mr. Millikenasked from whom the gentle- man from Ohio hd received such proposals, Mr. Kennedy replied that he bad received no proposals, Lut that it was well known that at the last session auch proposals were made, Mr. Milliken in a most decided way said that this statement was faixe and that the rec- ens of the committee would show that it was false. Mr. Heard of Missouri spoke in favor of the Judiciary square site, He Ukewise was in favor ol uilding for the purpose, but he rid objected to the Pennsylvania avenue ail un- MR. WANAMAKER'S PLAN. Mr. Herbert of Alabama said that it was a shame that $275,000 per year should be paid by the government for rent of public buildings, He was in favor of a combination building for the use of the United States Post Office and of the city post office and the giving up of the resent oe! office for some other purpose, his is the plan favored by Mr. Wanamaker. ‘MR. CANNON WANTS THE BUILDING IN JUDICIARY SQUARE, Mr. Cannon of Illinois then took the floor, He said he was ready to vote for a sufficient post office accommodation in this city and that at present the post office was entirely inade- quate, He thought that the cap- i at the nation above all needed a proper post office. He did not, how- ever, consider this 9th and Pennsylvania avenue site as a proper location. Since he had been in Washington be bad seen this location under water; he had seen canoes and small boats naviguting the avenue, He proposed at the proper time to introduce an amendment. But he did not approve of the proposed site at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 9th street. Since he @ mem- ber of Congress had on_ occasions scenien the bai ‘eo Jato mie ce erec ding on 0, tween 4th and 5th streets, ed the buil 2300, provi ing each from not THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1890. square went for nothing. The city was as well off for parks as Washington inside its city limits, and magnificent ones were being provided for outside and beside already two buildings have been erected in this square. ‘The saving of $275,000 was, however, his main argument. ME, MILLIKEN IN REPLY said there was little dangerof floods at this point since the improvements which had been made and that he did not believe the tax payors of the country wanted to shut up the — breathing places of this city merely to . save 000, ‘The proposed situation, he ssid, was a grand center, The car lines passed here; people go- ing to market did so also, and he saw no reason why the people of Washington should not have 8 post oftice at a convenient point, ieee Gin followed a Mite Gusundeon ents the practicability of sewerage. THE BILL TAKEN UP FOR AMENDMENT. The bill was then taken up by sections for amendment. A vote was then taken on Mr, Cannon's amendment and it was lost, Ayes, 38; noes, 85. Mr. Milliken spoke in opposition to Mr, Ken- nedy's amendment. The amendment was de- feated, 7 Mr. Conger proposed an amendment consti- tuting a commission to select a site.
