The cases were those of the Minneapolis Eastern railway company against the railroad and ware house commis- sion of Minnesota and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway company against thesame. The railroad refused to comply with rat fixed by the commission, and this refusal gave rise to the action settled yesterday.

The President’s Alaska Proclamation. ‘The President has issued a proclamation calling attention to section 1956, Revised Statutes, forbidding the _ killing of any fur-bearing animal within the limite of the territory of Alaska under the penalty of a fine of not less than $200 nor more than $1,000 or imprisonment for not more than six months or both. It gives the Secretary of the Treasury power to authorize the killing of such animals, excepting the seal. The proclamation also publishes section 3 of the act entitled “Anuct to provide for the pro- tectior of the salmon fisheries of Alask: and warns all persons from enteri the waters of Behring sea within the dominion of the United States for poor purpose of violating the provisions of the acl ee ee The Squadron of Evolution. The Atlanta and Boston left Genoa on the 6th and were joined by the Chicago off Tine Island the same afternoon. On the 7th the juadron practiced various evolutions, and on the 8th arrived exc! da; at Naples, where salutes were with the forts fleets, On Sun- DISCUSSED IN THE HOUSE, MR. §OANDLER OPENS THE DEBATE. Amendments Postponing the Fair Till 93 and For Lady Man- agers Adopted. ANTI-TRUST BiLL IN THE SENATE. —_—~.__ SENATE. Among the bills introduced and referred was one by Mr. Morrill to establish an educational fund from the proceeds of public lands and one by Mr. Faulkner to give s pension of $2,000 a year to the widow of Gen. Crook. Also a joint resolution by Mr. George to amend the Constitution so as to empower Congress to make all laws that are necessary and proper to suppress combinations in restraint of trade or production and to prevent transactions that create a monopoly or increase or depress the prices of commodities that are or may become subjects of commerce among the states or with foreign nations. THE ALASKA FUR SEAL INTERESTS. On motion of Mr. Morrill the Senate pro- ceeded to consider the Senate bill to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to gather full and authentic information as to the present condi- tion and preservation of the fur-seal interests of the government in the region of _ Alaska, as compared with its condition in 1870; also full information as to the impending extinction of the ses-otter in- dustry and kindred lines of inquiry. The bill (which provides for the employment of a special agent at $10 a day) was read in full; also communications from the Treasury de- partment indorsing and recommending its passage. OPPOSITION TO THE BILL. Mr. Gorman said that he would vote against the bill, as its only object seemed the provid- ing for an additional office, There were special agents now in the employment of the Treasury department who could be called upon to per- torm the proposed duties. Mr. Reagan opposed the bill for similar rea- sons and because a single agent would be more open to improper influences than if there were two or more commissioners appointed. A FORMER SPECIAL AGENT CRITICIZED, Mr. Gorman referred to the fact that a for- mer special agent at Alaska had since received employment under the company which re- ceived the new lease. Mr. Faulkner baid that the gentleman thus referred to was Mr. George Tingley, who had left the government service and had afterward become a citizen of Montana, and that nothing had occurred which should subject him to criticism, Mr. Morrill said that he happened to know the person who would probably be selected as special agent under the bill. He was in the employment of the Smithsonian Institution. There was no man in the country better quali- fied for the purpose, and he was as much above being bought off by any company as any mem- ber of the Senate. THE BILL PASSED. : After further discussion the bill was passed. Mr. Vest offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the President for copies of further correspondence in regard to the award made to the l’Abra silver mming com- pany and the distribution of the same. Mr." Dawes offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Secretary of the In- terior for information as to land patents issued to Indians under the severalty act. Mr. Hoar gave notice that he would not call up ae Montana election case bill Monday nex! THE ANTI-TRUST BILL was then taken up and Mr. George addressed the Senate. He said that he had heard the wish expressed by several Senators that the bill and amendments should be re- ferred to the judiciary committee. He concurred in the propriety of that course and now made that motion. The American Con- gress and the American people, he eaid, were brought face to face with the ‘sad and’ great problem whether production and trade were to be taken away from the great mass of the people and concentrated in the hands of a few men who had been enabled (by the policies pursued by the government) to aggregate to themselves enormous fortunes. THE HOUSE, Immediately after the approval of the jour- nal Mr. Candler of Massachusetts called up for consideration the world’s fair bill. A BOARD OF LADY MANAGERS, The bill having been read in extenso Mr. Candler, on behalf the committee, offered an amendment providing that the commission shall appoint a board of lady managers of such number and to perform such duties as may be prescribed by the commission, and the board may appoint one or more members of all committees authorized to award prizes for exhibits which may be pro- duced in whole or in part by female labor. Adopted. Also an amendment providing that one of the membera of the board created to be pa an with the selection of the government exhibit shall be chosen by the fish commission, Adopted, MR. CANDLER OPENS THE DEBATE. Mr. Candler, in opening the debate, ex- pressed the satisfaction which he felt in being able to state that Chicago, which had been se- lected by the House asa site, had proved itself before the committee equal to all that had been expected of it. The committee had found that Chicago not only comprehended the importance and magnitnde of the enter- prise but had entered into it with a determined spirit, which had impressed upon the com- mittee the conviction that it would be success- ful in ite undertaking. He believed that the bill was perfectly constitutional and he advo- cated it upon its merits because he believed that its purpose was wise and patriotic. The cones was satisfied that Chicago bad raise & BONA FIDE SUBSCRIPTION OF $5,000,000, and was also satisfied that Chicago had done more than had been expected from any com- petitive city im agreeing that the subscription should be raised to $10,000,000. In order to meet the conservative element, which did not favor the holding of a fair, the bill provided that the President -hould not proclamation inviting foreign natio1 until he was satisfied that the contribution was 8 bona fide one. ‘TO POSTPONE TILL 1893. Mr. Candler then offered an amendment on his individual motion, to be considered as [nite Providing for the dedication of the uildings of the world’s fair with appropriate ceremonies October 1, 1892, and further pro- viding that the exposition shall be open to visitors not later than May 1, 1898, and close not later than October 30, 1893. He said that this oat was not asked by Chicago, but he thought that it would paps fen oe of the —— who were in exposition. conclusion, he said that he believed that the fair would be encouraging the inventive and industrial interests of the country. MB. BELDEN DOESN'T SEE THE GUARANTEES. Mr. Belden (N.Y.) said that New York faith. She had not since said one word nor an act with s view to re- But that did not vent rape tana - that incorporated bill safeguards ag would secure that success in Chicago which New York had ex- d toachieve. When the site had been se- lected and the bill had been recommitted to the special committee the members from New York had asked the Illinois members for the guarantee they had promised, and lo! behold! they had produced a paper marked “Exhibit A,” with some names upon it. The first name was thatof E. St. John and the amount mentioned was $389,000. He bad asked Mr. Springer about it and had been told that that amount had been promised at the meeting of railroad men, They had not yet subscribed. That was the way that subscription atarted out. Exhibit B, with more names, promised a subscription of $614,000. On the back was a ——— without a mame on it promising $364,000. When he faa inquired in regard to this memorandum he had been told that the sub- scription book was too bulky to bring to Wash- ington. Nota dollar of subscription had_been shown. Nota single security had been offered. MB. LAWLER’S INQUIRIES. Mr. Lawler (Ill.) inquired whether it was not @ fact that gentlemen of standing had not come before the committee and satisfied a majority of the committee that everything was ail right, Mr. Belden replied that the two Illinois mem- bers and the chairman had some gentlemen before them, but the general committee had not. Mr. Lawler—Did you meet Mr. Gage? Mr. Belden—I did not. Mr? Adams—The gentieman was absent from the city for ten days. Mr. Belden—He did not go to any other member except the three I have mentioned, Mr. Lawler inquired whether Mr. Belden, from hia knowledge of Chicago business men, had any doubt that they would carry out the promises they had made in order to guarantee success, TALK VERSUS MONEY. Mr. Belden—I believe that if talk will do it they will do it, but when money is required they do not put it up. (Laughter.} Mr. Lawler inquired whether the gentleman wanted to convince the House that New York was able to take hold of such a large fair as this was going to be snd make it @ success in face of the fact that the Grant monument was not yet built. [Laughter.} Chi- on had carried out everythiug contemplated y it Mr. Belden—In talk. Mr. Lawler—I make this statement that if $25,000,000 is necessary to make the fair a suc- cess in Chicago it will be raised within six months, Mr. Belden proceeded to argue that before the bill were passed Chicago should be com- pelled toshow some guarantee that the sub- scriptions could be raised. MR. CANNON'S COMPROMISE. Mr. Cannon (Ill.) inquired whether the gen- tleman would agree to compromise by letting New York have the fair one hundred years hence. Mr. Belden replied that New York did not want a fair if she bad to shuflie the cards the way Chicago had. Mr. Mason (lll.)—Do you want Chicago te have the fair? Mr. Belden—Yes, sir. Mr. Mason—Is this the way you take to help us? Thank you, [Laughter] Br. Belden—Yes, sir; [ ama better friend of @ successful fair by insisting on provisions to secure its success than are the men who stand here and say, “We will fix it up by-and-by.” MR. CANDLER'S AMENDMENT AGREED TO. The House, after further debate, agreed to Mr. Candler’s amendment postponing the fair until 1893. CONTESTED ELECTION CASES. How They Have Been Settled So Far— Those Yet to be Acted On. The House committee on elections tuday de- cided the contested election cases of Posey agt. Parrett (Indiana) and Bowen agt. Buchanan (Virginia) in favor of the two democratic con- testees, The Indiana case is particularly in- teresting in that it involved the right of Jesuit theological students to vote in the district where they are stationed. The case of the contestant was based upon the claim that thirty votes cast by scholastics at a Jesuit col- lege shouldbe thrown out. The committee did not sustain this claim. Tn the Bowen-Buchanan case it was attempted to have districts thrown out upon the ground that the elections were disorderly, but the dis- order claimed did not affect enough votes to change the result, FOUR REPUBLICANS AND THREE DEMOCRATS SEATED. The committee has now reported on seven cases, In fonr the reports have been in favor of the republican contestants and in three in favor of the democratic contestees. 1t is likely that four or live other democratic contestees will be permitted to retain their seats. Out of the seventeen contests seven or eight will probably be decided in favor of the democrats. CASES YET T0 BE HFARD. Before the close of the week it is expected that reports will be made in favor of seating Waddill (republican) in the place of Wise (dem- ocrat) from Virginia, and in favor of unseating Turpin of Alabama (democrat) and seating Me- Duffee (repnblican) in his place. The Chalmers-Morgan contest, the Kerna- ghan-Hooker and the Hill-Calchings contests, all of Mississippi, and the McGinnis-Alderson contest of West Virginia, it is understood, will be decided in favor of the contestees—the democrats.

Bradford, Lieut. Commander Manney and Lieut. Schroe- der. The report is dated Philadelphia, March 14, and merely states the performances of the ves- sel as far as the guns—which were loaded with gun cotton—are concerned, without any reference to the speed or horse power of the vessel Three shote were fired, one from each gun, the charge being about 204 poundesof gun cotton, which, together with the structure of the shell and the fuses and packing, made the total weights vary from 5053¢ to 510!y pounds. The were elevated at an angle of 18 degrees, bh flight was steady, the distances varying from 2,116 to 2,333 yards, The report concludes: “The record shows that a shell coniaining 200 pounds of dynamite or other high explosive was thrown at least one mile by each of the sromeite gene consti- tuting the vessel’s armament. he ranges attained were considerably over the mile, being respectively 2,116, 2,233 and 2,333 yards, Since the first sentence of this quotation con- tains the text of the contract it will be seen that the vessel has been Viger to be equal to the firing teste und therefore is on that ground.

BISMARCK’SIDEAOF SELF-EXILE The Flood at Cincinnati Steadily Rising. JUDGE COOLEY SERIOUSLY INDISPOSED —_-—_—_ TROUBLE FOR GLASS WORKERS. The Dearth of Soda Ash Disturbs the Market. Cutcaco, March 25.—Trouble is brewing among the glass manufacturers of the couutry and unless speedy relief arrives their number will be considerably diminished. Soda ash, or rather its absence, is the cause of the trouble and notwithstanding that the demand for glass ware is as great as ever known many manu- facturers will shortly be compelled to shut down their mills. The supply of soda ash is penotceliy shut off by the strike among the lock laborers at Liverpool. More than fifty per cent of the soda ash used in this country is derived from Liverpool and 2s a large portion of the supply is used for other purposes the glass manufacturers find it hard to meet their orders, Representatives of eastern glass bouses here are doing little except swapping yarns. The fact that glass has risen over 100 Percent in prices within the last month has ad a depressing effect upon them and the sole topic of conversation among them is, “When is this advance going to stop” I am not solicit- ing orders for glass,” said a salesman. “Our firm makes window glass and lamp chimneys and at the present price of ash there is only a Joss in making them. It would pay us better tosellthe small amount of ash we have in stock and shut down for a while.” “In this connection it isan open secret that ® Pittsburg firm has been trying to buy up all the visible supply of soda ash in the country, but the supply is not to be bought,” said Mr. Greer, manager of Herbert, Spencer & Bart- lett’s factory. “I am informed that every glass man in the country hes practically ceased making cheap goods, pending a reduction in the price of soda ash. Ina week or ten daysyou'll find that half the glass factories in the country will be shutdown. 1 understand that one manu- facturer, who uses a car load of ash every thirty days, has not ten days supply on hand.” THE LIVERPOOL STRIKE EFFECTS IT. Bartimore, March 25.—Some of the glass manufacturers here were seen in regard to the effect of the strike of dock laborers in Liver- pool shutting off the supply of soda ash, caus- ing an extraordinary advance in the price, as reported in the Associated Press dispatch from Chicago today, Charles E, Baker of Baker Brothers & Co., speaking in a measure for as- sociate manufacturers, said: -It is a fact that the strike in Liverpool has affected the trade, as more than 50 per cent of the coda ash used here comes from Liverpool. There is little doubt but that some factories will shut down until a sufficient supply of xoda ash can be secured. The statement that ginss has risen in — 100 percent is exaggeration by one cipher, Ten per cent will cover the advance. No eastern house now solicits orders in the west for glass for the very good reason that the west has advantages for mabing glass not kuown to the eastand hence can produce the article much cheaper. He suggested natural gas as one autage, and that, he said, would do for all the others. --Baltimore,” he finished by saying, ‘‘is allright ou the glass question at present,” ——— A BAD COUNT, He Peddles Circulars on the Streets De- faming His Wife’s Character.
