It is BILL TO ADMIT WYOMING. It is Being Discussed in the House This Afternoon, pee rae SENATE. Messrs. Hawley and Gray were appointed by the Vice President members of the. board of visitors to attend the annual examination of cadets at West Point. Mr. Sherman, from the committee on foreign relations, reported a substitute for the first section of the meat inspection bill, Ordered printed. He said that the substitute was in- tended to meet the objections of packers and deniers in pork. The Honse bill for the allowance of the “Fourth of July claims” was reported from the committee on claims and placed on the cal- endar, ELLIS ISLAND. Mr. McPherson, from the committee on naval affeirs, reported a joint resolution au- thorizing the Secretary of the Navy to remove the naval magazine from Ellie Island in New York harbor and to purchase a site for and to erect 4 naval magazine at some other point (and appropriating $75,000 for the purpose), aud the Senate proceeded to consider it. Mr. Hiscock moved to amend by appropriat- ing « further sum of $75,000 to enable the See- retary of the Treasury to improve Ellis island for immigration purposes, ‘The amendment was agreed to aud the joint Tesolution was passed, FOR THE SENATE TO MEET AT 11 A.M. Mr. Edmunds moved an order that from and after Monday neat the Senate shall meet at 11 am, Mr. Morgan objected to its immediate con- sideration aud the matter went over till to- morrow, MR, BLAIR NOT READY. Mr. Harris asked Mr. Blair when it would suit his convenience to have the vote taken on the motion to reconsider the vote rejecting the educational bill. Mr, Blair—I am not now able to in ite to the Senator the time when I can conveniently call up that motion. Mr. Harris—The Senate ought to know in advance. Mr. Blair—It will not be called up without ar 5 notice to the Senate. Mr, Ingalls—I call the attention of the Sena- tor from Tennessee to the fact that the pend- ing question is the motion whieh I made to lay the motion to reconsider ou the table. Mr. Harris—So I understood. Mr. Ingalls—Theretore I suppose that, prop- erly speaking, the interrogatory should be ad- dressed to me and that I should be inquired of when it will suit my convenience to call up the motion to lay on the table, Mr. Harris—It affords me a great deal of pleasure, then, to ask the Senator from Kansas at what early day and what hour it will suit his convenience? Mr. Ingalls—I should be very glad to have my motion taken up now. Mr. Harris—I should be very glad to have it taken up now or at the earliest day possible, THE ANTI-TRUST BILL UP AGAIN. On motion of Mr. Sherman the anti-trust bill was taken up and various formal amend- ments were made, The amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Stewart to insert the words “or of the value of which such cost may be advanced or was agreed to, Mr. Hoar withdcawing bis amendment to it, which was to add the words *‘gold or silver. Mr. Spooner offered an amendment to the first section, giving the courts authority (in addition to other remedies) to issue writs of injunction prohibiting and restraining com- binations from proceeding anv further in the business excep: to wind up their affairs. and he proceeded to state the grouuds on which he offered it, ‘The legal bearing and effect of the amend- ment, as well as the bill generally, were dis- cussed by Messrs. Spooner, Gray, Hoar, Stewart, Vest, Keagan and Eustis, THE HOUSE. Mr. Cannon (ill.), from the committee on rules, reported a resolution making the Wyom- ing admission bill a special order tor today, a recess to be taken at 5:30 this afternoon until ll o'clock tomorrow, the previous question to be considered as ordered ut lo’clock, The Wyoming bill was then taken up, Mr. Baker (N. Y.) submitted an argu- ment in support of the measure. Mr. Barnes (Ga.) opposed the bill be- cause he beleved that there were gross irregu- larities in the adoption of the constitution of Wyoming; because he believed that the terri- tory did not contain a population requisite for admission into the Union, and because there were incorporated in the constitution features bused upon the subject of female fuffrage, which were antagonistic to republican institu- tions, ——-—_—-¢e0______ THE ROCK CREEK PARK BILL, Chairman Grout Has No ‘Doubt of Its Final Passage. The Rock Creek park bill has gone over until the next District day, but among the friends of the measure there is no doubt of its ulti- mate success. Mr. Grout said to a Srar re- porter today that he saw no reason to doubt the final passage of the bill, time being the only requisite, as on Monday the opposi- tion, while they were able to delay action, were really universally very weak. Mr. Grout was asked what he thought of the proposition to charge a portion of the cost on the adjacent property owners, “The committee went into that proposition,” he replied, ‘-before reporting the bill and we came to the decision that there was too much doubt as to the constitutionality of the scheme for us to go into it as a committee. If the House in its judgment decided that the action wouid-be legal the committee wili offer no de- cided objection to the plan. The conference committee can then study the matter in all ite . phases and decide whether to risk the action or not. I have not gone into the subject hareeiery 4 enough to give « decided opinion ag to what think personally in regard to the proposition. A number of the western state courts have de- cided that such assessments are legal, What the Supreme Court here would ide is uw matter of conjecture. Ihave anidea that when the House under- stands that the strip of land which it is pro- d to take for this park is owned to a very ge extent by parties eg bot also be adja~ coat property owners, and poeple weeodlbor yg vantage accru; can ly sel the cunt a ¢ will vail and a long series of complications wi be avoided.” —_——.___ Smashed the Furniture for Revenge. Otto Heitmueller, a life insurance agent, shots dog yesterday morning and later in the day he was acquitted in the Police Court of a NAVAL OFFICIALS SURPRISED. The Nomination of Paymaster General Looker—Mr. Hayes His Friend. The nomination of Pay Director Thomas Looker to be paymaster general of the navy, which was sent tothe Senate yesterday, was rather a surprise to naval people. It was known that be was a candidate, but nearly everybody was anticipating the selection of Pay Inspector Stewart, with Pay Director Gilbert Thornton a good second, The general impression is that the appointment was brought about by means of the friendship betwoen Looker and ex- President Hayes, who is said to have once offered the position to him while in the White House. Looker declined the appointment ou the ground that Pay Director Cutter, who had only « year or so to serve, shouid receive the appointment by virtue of his posi- tion at the head of the corps. Upon Cutter's retirement some one else was appointed, and it appeared as though Looker's chances had gone by. He has eighteen months to serve on ‘the active list of the navy. TRANSFER OF CHIEF CLERK LASIER, ‘The Secretary has transferred Chief Clerk Thos. J. Lasier to the bureau of provisions and clothing from the bureau of construction and repairs, the latter position to be filled by» future appointment. MEN WHO MAKE THE LAWS, Order of Business in the Senate—Other Notes From the Capitol. A brief caucus of republican Senators was heid this morning, at which the order of busi- ness arranged by the committee appointed at the recent conference was approved. This program includes the anti-trust bill (which it is expected will be voted on today), the depend- ent pension bill, the admiuistrative customs bill, the land forfeiture bill, the Jones silver bill and the bills for the admission of territor- ies to the union of states, Besides these there will occur the debate on the Montana election case, which will be called up next Monday. An effort was made to put the world’s fair bili ou the program, but as it was intended to include only measures now pending in the Senate the effort was unsuccessful. It was de- termined to pass an order fixing 11 o'clock as the time of meeting of the Senate, There was some talk about an election law. the general opinion expressed being favorable to the enactment of some mexsure to regulate national elections. No conclu- sion was reached, however, some Senators elieving it to be the better plan to await the action of the House on the subject before tak- ing any steps themselves in the preparation or consideration of a bill. ‘ THE MEAT INSPECTION BILL, Senator Sherman today introduced a further amendment to the meat inspection bill re- ported by bim some days ago frow the foreign relations committee. The umendment pro- Vides that salted pork and bacon shall not be inspected unless the laws of the country to which it is proposed to export the meat require an inspection, or unless the buyer, seller or exporter of the meat desires an insfection. The bill is also amended so as to make it a misdemeanor to counterfi change, detace or destroy any of the inspection marks or device?, TO INCREASE SALARIES OF CHIEF CLERKS.
