THE FORTIFICATION BILL a nder Consideration in the House This Afternoon, ee THE SENATE. The experiment of an 11 o'clock meeting of the Senate is not proving asuccess, After prayer by the chaplain there was a call of Sen- ators, when only twenty-nine answered to their names. A second call resulted in the attend- ance of thirty-six Senators. Then a motion was made by Mr. Cockrell that the sergeant-at- arms be ordered to request the attendance of absentees, Mr. Plumb preferred to havea recess taken till noon, when, by natural process, Senators would be present, Mr. Butler gave it as his opinion that if the presence of Mr. Edmunds (on whose motion the 11 o'clock sessions were ordered) were se- cured business might be proceeded with. He then moved to adjourn, and while the vote was being taken on that motion he announced his pair with Mr. Cameron, but said that as he was convinced Mr. Cameron would yote aye he (Mr. Butler) would also vote “aye.” The re- sult of the yea and nay vote showed the pres- ence of forty-three Senators (a quorum.) EXPLANATIONS OF ALSENTERS, Then Mr. Ingalls accounted for his non- attendance at the honr of meeting by saying that he (as well as all the other members o* the judiciary committee, of which Mr. Ed- iwunds is chairman), had been engaged on the business of that committee. That statement was supplemented by @ remark from Mr. Vest to the effect that the judiciary committee had met at 9 o'clock and had been at work till a moment ago, These statements were treated by Mr. Plumb as a reflection on ofher Senators, who (unless they made explanations) might be presumed not to have been attending to their business; and the ee mind (he said) was very sensi- tive on that point. ME, BUTLER APOLOGIZES. Mr. Butler thought that he ought rather to make an explanation as to why he was present. He had neglected a good many important mat- ters which he would have liked to attend to be- fore coming to the Capitol. He thought that he onght to apologize for being present at 11 o'clock, The journal of yesterday was then read and approved. WHERE WAS THE MISTAKE MADE. The bill which some days ago was recalled from the President in order to have a verbal the secretary's office by Mr. Ingalls, who said that such mistakes had become very freqnent, He was intormed by Mr. Teller (who had charge of the bill) that the error oceurred not in the secretary's office, but in the Goy- ernment Printing Office. ‘Chis led to an in- quiry on the part of Mr. Ingalls as to what be- came of the manuscript of bills passed by the Senate, and he expressed astonishment at learning that they were sent to the roc office and were not returned till some indefinite day in the future; that bills were thus engrossed without comparison or collation with the bills as they passed the Senate; and that thus the legislation of Congress was at the mercy of the public printer, who was notan officer of the Senate and had no more to do with the regularity of its proceedings than the shah of Persia, Finally the necessary correction was made and the bill as corrected wag sent to the House, RESCUE OF MISSISSIPPI FLOOD VICTIMB, House bill authorizing the Mississippi river commission to purchase or hire such boats as may be immediately necessary to rescue inhab- itants of the overflowed districts and to nse the boats for that purpose was laid before the Sen- ate and was (on motion of Mr. George) passed immediately. REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES, Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the follow- ing: Senate bill to prevent the summary can- cellation of pension certificates and providing for a hearing in cases reluting thereto, Senate bill giving a pension of $100 a month to the widow of Gen. John F. Hartranft, House bill to amend the consns iaw in re- lation to Chinese residents, BACK TO NooN, Mr. Hale offered a resolution (which went over till tomorrow) changing the daily hour of meeting of the Senate to noon, This was followed by a motion by Mr. Plumb that the adjournment today shail be till 12 o'clock tomorrow. The motion was rejected— pas 25, nays 28, All the democrats voted aye and were reinforced by Senators Pierce, Plumb and Walcott, All the rest of the republicans yoted no, SECRET SESSION, Then at 12:30, on motion of Mr, Edmunds, the Senate proceeded to executive business. THE HOUSE, In the House this morning the chaplain feel- ingly referred to the death of Representative David Wilber (N.Y.) and invoked for his be- reaved family Divine protection and comfort. A PROPOSED INVESTIGATION, ‘Mr. Oates (Ala.), from the committee on the judiciary, reported a resolution reciting that it is alleged by the Attorney General thatin many United States district courts the practice of sus- pending sentence after conviction in criminal cases prevails without warrant of law, and that in some parts of the country United States district attorneys, marshals and deputies and United States commissioners have been guilty of maladministration and corruption in office, and directing the committee on judiciary to inquire into the extent, cause and effect of such illegal practices, On motion of Mr. Payson (Ill) Senate bill was passed creating the offices of surveyors general in North and South Dakota, THE ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION, On motion of Mr. Frank (Mo.) a bill was passed. to admit free of duty articles intended for the St. Louis exposition in 1890 which may be im- ported from the republic of Mexico. BILLS FROM THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, In the morning hour,on motion of Mr. Buchan- mittee on the judiciary, a bill was passed pro- viding that affidavits and declarations in pex- sion and bounty cases may be taken before any officer authorized to administer oaths for gen- eral purposes. On motion of Mr. Thompson (Ohio), from the same committee, a bill was rovid- ing that depositions of witnesses before United States courts may be taken in the mode pre- scribed by the laws of the states in which such courts may be held. On motion of Mr. Oates (Ala.), from the same committee, a Dill was passed limiting to six ears the time within which suit mes rought against account officers sureties on their official bo! Also Senate bill to continue the publication of the Revised Statutes. s (Md.), from was passed of the law re- Hne steamers of the United ‘THE FORTIFICATION APPROPRIATIOY BILL. ‘The House then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Payson (IiL) in -the chair, on the fortification appropriation bill, the committee on commerce, a bill exempting from the Saar aka THE TARIFF BILL. Possible Opposition on the Floor From Republican Members. STRIKE IN CHICAGO. que committer wore 70 raevext a cowerva-|A Thousand Plumbers Quit Work ‘TION OF FORCES—THE SUGAR MEN—DUTIES ON BAW MATERIAL—THE SITUATION AS IT APPEARS TODAY. ‘The Massachusetts delegation had a confer- ence last night, which lasted about two hours, and they decided to fight those items in the tariff bill} to which they are opposed, The indications are that there will be a very gen- eral attempt on the part of the republicans to amend the bill when it reaches the House so a8 to make it conform with their home in- terests. There will probably be a caucus held on the measure in due time, but members who believe it would be political death to them to yote against the interests of theic districts will insist upon their right to propose amendments, The committee will have to ac- cede te this, but they are confident that they can bring matters to such an understandi that members. after proposing their amend- ments and probably having them voted down, will vote for the bill practically as it is, ME, WITT DESCRIBES THE SITCATION. As Mr. Hittaptly put it to a Stan reporter today, tho differences in the democratic party when they had their bills up were differences of principle, most of them being tariff reform- ers, and some of them protectionists, ‘The re- publicans agree upon the principle of protec- tion and their differences are as to the treat- ment of particular items in the bill. Before the matter settles down there will be a great dea! of kicking and hauling in tho Honse, but republicans generally expresa the petnion that a bill in some form will ome & law. THE STCAR PROBLEM, ‘The men who want free sugar will make a hard fight to have all the duty taken off, ‘The committee will meet them with the statement that the revenues will not stand so heavy a cut; that the bill as it stands will make a reduction of about 265,000,000, and that the government cannot stand a greater reduction atthia time. This reduction is possible only by ceasing to pay ,in millions to the sinking ‘un ‘The sugar men will insist on having « higher duty on sugar than the bill gives and will make a stubborn fight for it. The committee will mect their attack with the statement that the duty proposed in this bill, as deeply cut as it is, is extraordinarily high, and some significant remarks will be made about trusts, THE COMMITTEE'S HOPES, By knocking out the squads of opposition in detail and preventing combinations the committee hope to preserve the integ- rity of their bill get it through the House. They can't calculate on what may happen to it in the Senate, but they ca se ct the western influence, which ig strong in that decorous body, to hold the pill in shape. The attack on the hides duty is very savage and there may be a possibility of its being knocked from the bill m the House, but this is not expected. RAW MATERIALS. Representative Harmer, representing a strong protection district, said today, after reading the bill, that its principal fault lay in the abso- lute disregard of the popular demands and ne- cessity for cheaper raw material. ‘Many of our exstern manufacturers and our republican representatives in Congress want absolutely freo raw material,” he said. “It may not be proper to go quite that far, buta step in that direction should be taken at this time, There should be a reduction of duties on raw material all along the line. ‘This bill does not recognize this fact, and where some reduction has been mede in manufactured articles, which we in Philadelphia are especially interested in, there has not een & carrespo: reduction in the raw materials, VIEWS OF MASSACHUSETTS MEY, As stated in yesterday's Stan Massachusetts republicans are displeased because hides were not placed on the free list. Mr. Lodge said: “Jam keenty disappointed. I was told by Chairman McKinley on Tuesday that the matter was settled (hides on the free list), and I did so telegraph to my people. Today I find myselt obliged to telegraph the new action of the committee. Iam unalterably opposed to the duty on hides.” Mr, Candler said: “I oppose the duty on hides and carpet wools, Icannot say just now what I shall do.” Mr, Cogswell said: “The committee will find that tho end is not yet. In my opinion no_bill will pass this Congress with hides on the duti- able jist,” Mr. Andrews said: ‘The committee does not secm to know its own mind, except that their trend is toward high tariff. They appear to have no regard for New England.” TICKET SCALPERS PROTEST. They Object to Legislation Interfering With Their Business. ‘The National Ticket Brokers Association to- day presented to the House commerce com- mittee a protest against the passage of the Baker bill prohibiting the sale or transfer by any persons except regularly appointed ticket agents of railroad tickets, The association was represented by President P. W. Ward of New York, G. G. Lansing of New York, H. C. Meader of Cincinnati, N. W. Dor- sey of Baltimore. W. F. Dabney of Rich- mond, G. C. McKenzie of Chicago, Louis Meyer of Detroit, J. R. Fleishman of Buf- falo and John G. Webb of New York. ‘They held that the proposition contained in the bill was absurd; that it would result in higher railroad rates to the public; that it was an infringement of the personal right of the individual to dispose of ins own property; and that under __ its terms a man tight be imprisoned for a year for selling his own railroad ticket. They also argued that the clause iu the bill (which is amendatory of the inter- state commerce law) providing for the redemption by the railroad companies ot unused parts of tickets was a smare, that few people had the time or disposition’ to press these claims and await the slow action of rail- road auditors, and the result would be a heavy aggregate loss to the traveling public. THE MORRILL PENSION BILL To be Offered as a Substitute for the Senate Dependent Pension Bill. The House committee on invalid pensions will probably report the Morrill service pen- sion bill as a substitute for the dependent pen- sion bill passed by the Senate yesterday, The House bill grante a service pension of $8 per month to all soldiers of the late war who have reached the age of sixty-two years. Mr. Morrill estimates that it will cost about thirty- dive millions a year. ‘The vote on the arrearage amendment in the Senate yesterday is regarded as finally settling all talk of an arrearage bill this session. Mr. Morrill said toa Stan reporter today that he did not think a majority of the House would dcr — a The Husbands Make Defense. In the case of Mary J. Seaman against Seth J. Seaman Mr. D. W.
