ANTI-TRUST BILL IN THE HOUSE. —__+>_—_ THE SENATE, The House bill to amend the census act of March 3, 1889, was reported from the census committee (the effect of it being to allow special agents $3 a day for subsistence when traveling) and after explanation by Mr. Hale it was passed, Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: House bill constituting Cairo, Il, a port of defivery, House joint resolution to continue in force an act authorizing the construction of a bridge over Bayou Bernard in Mississippi. Senate bill to authorize the construction of 2 bridge across the Mississippi river between the mouth of the Illinois and mouth of the Mis- souri river, RELIEF OF FLOOD SUFFRRERS, Mr. Hawley, from the committee on military affairs, reported back House bill authorizing the purchase of 2,500 tents by the Secretary of War for the use of the people driven from their homes in Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana by the present floods and appropriating 225,000 for the purpose, Mr, Edmunds, while declarmg himself in favor of the bill, called the attention to it of Senators who were troubled about the Consti- tution in the appropriating of money for ob- jects not specifically named in that instrument, Mr. Hawley, assuming that the remark was Partially directed at him, said that he consid- ered that this bill and not the Blair bili came within the clause of ‘general welfare.” After brief discussion, in which it was stated that there had been no request for tents from either Arkansas or Mississippi, and only indirectly from the governor of Louisiana, the bill was passed, BILLS REPORTED, Among other bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: Senate bill for the appointment of a commis- sion to fix a site for a national harbor of refuge ut the mouth of the Delaware. Senate bill to reorganize and establish the customs collection district of Puget sound. House bill for the retirement of John C. Fre- mont as major general in the United States Army. Senate bill to amend acts constituting Lin- coln, Neb., a port of delivery and designating ports of delivery in the district of Michigan, Senate bill appropriating #10,000 additional for a light ship for the mouth of the Columbia river was reported and passed. LIFE-SAVING APPLIANCES, Mr. Frye, from the committee on commerce, reported Senate bill suspending for one year the statutes that require steamers to be pro- vided with certain life-saving appliances—guns for throwing lines, &c. He spoke of the bill reported by him on the same subject two or three weeks ago and which proposed to repeal the law. That Djll, he said, had been reported on information received from the ‘Treasury department, It had attracted the attention of the people inter- ited; and he had receivedsince then such in- Sormstion as left him in doubtas to the pro- priety of passing it. The eommittee had, there- fore, agreed to a bill suspending the law for a year and there were reasons why it shonld be Buned immediately, After this statement the ill was passed. THE ANTI-TRUST BILL was then taken up and the amendments fo it, as reported from the committee of the whole, were brought before the Senate. The first amendment that gave rise to dis- cussion was the provision excepting from the prohibitions of the law the combinations of workmen and farmers, Mr. Edmunds declared himself in favor of doing everything that the Constitution per- mitted Congress to do in suppressing and breaking up trusts and monopolies because in the long run, however they might reduce cost for the time being, all human experience had proved them to be destructive of the public welfare, NOMINATIONS TODAY.

Francis G, Irwin, jr., second cavalty, to be first heutenant, HOUSE, The House met at 11 o'clock in continuation of Wednesday's session, and the Wyoming ad- mission bill was again taken up for considera- tion. Mr. Outhwaite (Ohio) opposed the bill, bas- ing his opposition upon the insufficiency of population in the proposed state, Mr. Buckalew (Pa.) also antagonized the measure, declaring that it was a bribe held out to Congress by the local office-seeking element in the territory. It was intended to pack the United States Senate—a Senate sri tering eight new republican seats, six fairly held ant two stolen. Mr. MeAdoo (N.J.) said that the Constitution of Wyoming, if not the worst constitution ever adopted, was abrest of the worst. There was in that constitution almost Pipes Me Dead was bad in politics, morals and econo! ‘The only thing in it was the clause which al- Eirepeie’ pratenes sa admetienen se ical an W. was the Mecca to which they dhenit hasten their steps in order to gobble up the public lands, P ON THE QUESTION OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE he said that all honorable men had idealized woman and looked upon her as good and fair and beautiful, Were she given Pte pan not look upon her as fair and tics —— which he had taken in regard to the rritories was an advanced one. In the last Congress he had favored the admission of the four new states. At this session he had intro- duced an omnibus bill because he thought that all the territories SHOULD BE TREATED FAIRLY AND EQUALLY. The Wyoming bill gave women the right of suffrage. The Idaho bill deprived the Mor- mons, men and Swomen, of the right to vote. The reason for this was that in sf ory the Mormons voted the republican ticket, while in Idaho it was suspected that they voted the democratic ticket. Mormonism was no objec- tion to the admission of a state except when the people having that belief were suspected of having a desire to vote the democratic ticket. He believed that if the Mormons of Utah would vote with the republicans the gentlemen on the other side would railroad a pill through the House for the admission of that territory as a state, He criticised the provisions of the Wyoming constitution and charged irregularities in the adoption of that constitution. It had no binding force, no validity, no authority, except what was given it by Congress; and would the House give it a validity which the law had de- nied to it? He did not desire to delay the ad- mission of Wyoming into the Union at the exrliest time practicable, but he insisted that its admission should be after the most careful consideration by the people of the territory and after mature deliberation by the Congress of the United States, A WYOMING ZEPHYR. It was said by the majority as an excuse for the small vote which had been cast for the constitution that there was a driving snow storm and a tremendous gale. which had kept the people from the polls, He created much merriment and applause on tho democratic side by quoting from the meteorological re- turns to show that the tremendous gale which had kept the people from the polls been a cue reeze of one mile an hour, and the riving snow storm had dwindled down to a small flurry, IN BEHALF OF WYOMING. Mr. Strubie (Iowa) denied that the people of Wyoming had acted in violation of any law in the adoption of the constitution. He opposed the proposition that the constitution should be sent back to those peonis with the declaration of the House that Wyoming would not be ad- mitted until they took care that no innovation was made in regard to woman suffrage. Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) said the democratic party since the fall of slavery. and since it had ceased to admit states in order to keep up the practice of slavery, had always opposed the admission of states, ’ Hostility, cither open and declared, as now, or covert or insinuated, as in the Fifticth Congress, had always been the policy of the democratic party. ON THE QUESTION OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE he called attention to the fact that there was nothing in the United States Constitution which prevented any state from providing for such suffrage. A vote here in favor of the admis- sion of Wyoming by no means meant that the voter was an adherent of the doctrine of female suffrage—a doctrine which he was not much alarmed about, |. AN AMENDMENT VOTED Do Atlo’clock the previous question was or- dered. Mr. Springer, on behalf of the minority of the committee, offered an amendment provid- ing for another convention called under the authority of an act of Congress. Lost—yeas, 131; nays, 138, Mr. Dunnell of Minnesota and Mr. Sherman of New York voted with the democrats in the afiirmative, ANOTHER AMENDMENT OFFERED. Mr. Springer then offered an amendment providing that there shall be an election in Wyoming on the Tuesday after the first Mon- day in November next for a Representative to the Fifty-first and Fifty-Second Congresses and for state and judicial offices. The consti- tution shall be voted upon, and, if the vote is = oe female suffrage, that feature shall be eliminated from the constitution, This was also lost—yeas, 133; nays, 139—Mr. one ee and Mr, Van Schaick (Wis.) voting with the democrats, AGAINST FEMALE SUFFRAG™. Mr, Springer then offered his last amend- ment, which strikes out the clanse of the Wyo- ming constitution providing for female suf- frage, ee. THE LOCAL RAILROAD PROBLEM. A Subcommittee Appointea to Consider Its B. and O. Branch, There was a secret session of the Senate com- ‘mittee on the District of Columbia this morn- ing to consider the local railroad problem, far as the Baltimore and Ohio company and the residents and property owners on the line of that road are affected, The matter is re- garded by the committee as one of more than ordinary interest,and when the special meeting was ready for business there were present Senators Ingalls, Farwell, McMillan, Higgins, Harris, Vance, Faulkner and Barbour. The object of the mecting differed materially from that of its immediate predecessors, for there was no hearing of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road authorities. They have imparted all the information they had to give away and today the committee wrestled alone and unaided with the difficulty. Consideration was given the various measures looking to amend- ment of affairs and at last it was decided that there must be further consultation, A resolution was offered authorizing the appointment of a subcom- mittee, whose duty it should be to confer with the District Commissioners, with the Baltimore and Ohio chief engineer, Mr. Douglass, and any other persons it chooses to talk to. The reso- lution was agreed to and Senators Ingalls, Far- well and Faulkner were appointed to carry out the wishes of the committee. Tho subcommittee will commence its investi- gations early next week by going carefully over the proposed route. Then wili follow the conferences referred to and by the regular meeting of the committee on Friday of next week the subcommittee expects to have a re- port ready for the fuil committee to act upon. CRUISER AND BATTLE SHIP. A Compromise Proposed to the House Naval Committee. ‘The House naval committee is now at work upon a plan for the enlargement of the new navy. Mr. Boutelle submitted a proposition to the committee yesterday, which it is thought will meet with the approval of the House and compromise the complicating theories between the cruiser and the battle ship factions in the Senate.

GREAT EXCITEMENT PREVAILS lowa Takes Hold of the Prohibition Problem, —» LEVEES BREAK AND FLOODS INCREASE | — THEY SPEAK WELL OF HIM. Old Friends of Mr. Stevenson Archer | Remember His Firm Integrity. Batrmonr, March 27.—The hypothecation of sinking fund bonds by State Treasurer Archer | is the one theme of conversation today. From what is said on all sides Mr. Archer seems to be the very last man that would be suspected of wrong doing. Mr. Marine, the new repub- lican collector of the port, said today: “I am a Harford county man, and this story about Ste- venson Archer is a severe shock to me. Why, if he had been my own brother I could not feel it more deeply, In Maryland there is no more kind-hearted man than ‘Steve’ Archer, I believe the thing is exaggerated. I don't be- lieve he bas done anything but what can be ex- plained. He did not speculate nor gamble and his domestic reiations were of the happiest kind, Idon't know much of his private af- fairs, but I do know that there isn’t a man in Harford county who wouldn't stand by Steven- son Archer to the very last, I repeat I believe this report to be exaggerated.” Deputy Collector of the Port Geo, C, MeCo- | * mas was as much surprised as Collector Marine | by the disclosures about Archer. He say: can hardly believe the story about Stevenson Archer, Why, there is nota man in all Har- ford county who wouldn't have trusted him with every dollar he possessed. This thing hos cansed me as much grief as if it had been myown brother, I can ascribe no motive. Mr. Atcher was not a speculator and he did not gamble. He ied ® very quiet, domestic life. Why. | even in the heat of political campaigns he always managed to slip up to Belair two or three times a week. His integrity was never questioned, When in Congress I knew that he refused to take any of the Credit Mobilier stock. Before he got into politics Mr. Archer enjoyed an entensive law practice and had charge of a large number of estates.” MR, ARCHER'S CARFER. His family consists of his wife and two daugh- ters, one of whom is the wife of State Senator Benjamin Silver of Harford county, All Mery- land will sorrow with them because of their great grief. If the deficit amounted to only a few thousand dollars his friends would gladly have helped him out. The case is a very sad one—very sad, indeed. The) Mechanics’ Bank of this city, which, it wax said in Annapolis dispatches of last night was the holder of considerable paper, is amply protected by deposit of coupon bonds for all loans to State Treasurer Archer. He was elected treasurer in 1866, succeeding John | Glittings, the Baltimore banker, who had been selected to succeed Mr. Barnes Compton, who had been elected to Congress, Mr. Compton had held the office for many years, his predecessor being the Jate Jobn W. Davis. Mr, Archer's appointment as treasurer heralded his appearance in the ranks of the regular democracy, In 1882 he was an independent candidate for the position of cir- cuit jndge against the regular democratic | nominec, Judge Fowler, and so great was | his personal popularity that he polled | ®@ very large vote, state treasurer was salary y 2 year. Mr. Archer is also an exCongressman, having been first elected in 1866. He served four His as 500 E. H. Webster, ex-collector of the port of Bal- timore. In Congress Mr. Archer served as member of the naval and other important com- muttees, THE AMOUNT Is SMALL. Asxaporis, March 27.—No one here seems to know just yet the extent of State Treasurer Archer's diflicultie, Every one, however, is willing to believe the amount involvea is small and say that it was an insane impulse which forced Mr. Archer to reject aid, Intimate friends of Mr. Archer have known of his troubles since Monday, and any amount needed to make good his shortage was offered. One man tendered $25,000 in cash if necessary, and without security, He rejected all offers of aid, saying that he himself alone could settle the affair. When last in Annapolis Mr. Archer said it would be the last time he would ever visit the place, he theory advanced today is that ina moment of temptation he pledged secur- ities belonging to the state, but not to a large amount; that he was made to know that outside parties were aware of his transactions, and that the dread of exposure drove him in- | sane. Another bank in Baltimore other than the Mechanics’ bank is said here to hold 2 con- siderable amount of the Archer paper. HIS BONDSMEN ON HAND. The joint committee to investigate State Treasurer Archer's accounts are Senators Poe and Smith, Delegates Shaw, Laird and Harden. Senator Silver, the son-in-law of Treasurer Archer, Joseph M.

Levees are constantly breaking and the floods are practically beyond control. Work on the crovasse at Arkansaw City has been suspended, which means devastation for that section, At Skipanth, sixty miles below Greenville, a big levee broke yesterday morning overflowing the little town and sweeping away several houses, The break was instantaneous, A leading citi- zen, standing in four feet of water and holding his child on his shoulders, telephoned an ap- peal fora and boats to resene the drown- ing people. He had seen two of his neighbors drown close to him and expected that many more would suffer the same fate. He claims | that the people living im the country cannot es- cape. Repeated warnings have had no effect on them, as they felt secure behind their big levees, The break is bad and the levee is melting like a snow bank. Rescuing parties in boats and skiffs have been onqaniaol a8 va- rious points, The negroes im the bottoms are panic stricken and many of them will be drowned. Live stock will be drowned by the thousands, as no provision has been for removing them and the go ment boats pa- troling the banks cam do no more than rescug human lives. i A NATIONAL ISSUE IN IOWA, The Legislature Takes Up the Prohie bition Question, Drs Morses, March 27.—The democratic liquor license bill ison the calendar in the house as a special order for consideration to day, It provides that upon petition by two- lifths of the legal voters of any city or town, or of the territory outside of any city or town im any county within the state, it shall be the duty of the city or town council or board of supervisors to order a special election, at which the question of license or no iicense for the sale of liquor shall be voted on.
