FOR ADMISSION OF IDAHO. ——— The Bill Taken Up in the House This Afternoon, THE SENATE, Mr. Edmunds, from the judiciary committee, reported back the anti-trust bill in the form of © substitute, and said that there was one sec- tion in the bill as reported which he thought went further than it ought to go. Owing to a little necessity of health he would probably not be in town when the matter would be taken up, but some other member of the committee would take charge of it, TWO VIEWS OF IT, Mr. Vest, a member of the judiciary commit- tee, said that he concurred in the report, but with the understanding that there was one sec- tio of the bill which did not, in his opinion, go far enough. Mr. Callom asked whether that was the same section which Mr. Edmunds thought went too far. Mr. Vest said that it was, Ho thought it was section 7. GOOD AS FAR AS IT GORs, Mr. George (another member of the commit- tee) regarded the bill (so fer as it went) as a good one—the best that could be framed un- der the constitutional power of Congress over commerce. But there were one or two powers ot Congress which (he thought) might be ex- ercised effectively in the direction of the sup- pression of trusts and combinations, but which the committee did not see proper to exercise. He should support the bill as reported, but might offer amendments looking to the exer- cise of these other powers. Mr. Coke (another member of the commit- tee) concurred in the bill as reported, except that he would prefer the section referred to by Mr. Vest to be ina little different form. The bill was then read, and Mr, Edmunds said that as soon as the Montana election case was dis- posed of the biil would be taken up. ‘The House bili to transfer the revenue ma- rine service from the Treasury Department to the Navy Department was reported and placed on the calendar. THE HOUR OF MEETING. The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Hale to change back the daily hour of meeting to 12 o'clock was taken up and Mr, Edmunds moved to amend it by making it take effect on Mon- day the 14th instead of next Monday. He gave asa reason why the Senate sbould meet at 11 a.m, the fact that there were now on the calen- dar between 700 and 800 bills reported from committees,and he thought it wiser to allow an extra hour for disposing of the business than to give it tocommitiees in order to enable them to heap up more business on the Senate, Mr. Hale said he had offered the resolution because he thought that th» operation of the 11 o'clock meeting was very em)bacrassing and in- convenient and resulted in Little good, It was practically to dissolye the committees, DEFENDING THE SENATE. ‘Mr. Hawley, in protesting against an intima- tion by Mr. Edmunds as to lack of industry on the part of Senators, insisted that there was no such hard-working legislative body in the world as the United States Senate, and that the average business men of the country did not work so hard, MR. EDMUNDS’ AMENDMENT REJECTED. After further discussion, participated in by Senators Plumb, Jones of Arkansas, Dawes, Reagan, Evarts and Ingalls (all favoring the daily meeting at noon), Mr. Edmunds’ amend- ment was rejected—yeas, 27; nays, 29, TO MEET AT NOON FROM NEXT MONDAY, Three republicans, Messrs, Hale, Plumb and Wolcott, voted with the democrats in the nhega- tive. The resolution was then agreed to—yeas, 32; nays, 25; 80, commencing on Monday next, the hour of meeting will be 12. ‘THE URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED, The conference report on the urgent de- ficiency bill was presented and agreed to. ‘The House recedes from its disagreement to the Senate amendment (as to irrigation surveys), with a proviso that no part of the amonut shall be expended in sinking wells or in the con- struction of irrigation works and that the gov- ernment shall uot be committed to any plan of irrigation. THE MONTANA ELECTION CASE. The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of the Montana election case—the major- ity report being in favor of Wilbur F. Sanders and Thos. Power, and the minority being in favor of n. A, Clark and Martin Maginnis, Mr. Hoar stated the case on the part of the Majority of the committee—the whole matter turning upon the question whether one set of delegates (who voted with the twen- ty-five republican delegates for Sanders and Power) were legally elected from the county of Silver Bow, or whether the other set (who voted with twenty-four demo- erats for Clark and Maginnis) were the legally elected deputies, Mr, Gray (representing the minority of the committee on privileges and elections) made a statement in support of the claim that Messrs, Clark and Magiunis are entitled to be seated as Senators from Montana, He expressed his regret that so few Senators were in their seats to hear the arguments on each side, because it was as important that they should hear those argn- ments in order to decide the question judicially as it was for all the judges to be present in the case of a hearing in the Supreme Court, NOMINATIONS TODAY, Deputy First Auditor of the Treasury ; and Other Officials, The President today sent to the Senate the following nominations: Alex.

Winterboth, postmaster at Eau THE HOUSE. The House met at 11 o'clock this morning. There were not more than fifty members pres- ent. The chaplain was absent and the journal was not prepared for reading. BRIDGE BILLS PASSED. In the morning hour bills were passed authorizing the construction of bridges across the Oconee river at Dublin, Ga; across the Missouri river at eves Ci merce committee, a bill was passed amending ‘the act to aid vessels wrecked or disabled in waters conterminous to the United States, the Dominion of Canada. {It grants anthority to Canadian wrecking vessels to ald Canadian vessels in distress when similar authority shall have been given by the Canadian government to wrecking vessels of the United States to aid United States vessels in distress. | Mr. Baker (N.Y.), from the same committee, called up a bill authorizing the construccon of a bridge and approaches at New York city across the Hudson river, to regulate commerce in and over such bridge between the states of New York and New Jersey, and to establish such bridge asa military and post road. ‘The bill was passed. THE IDAHO ADMISSION BILL. The House then proceeded to the considera- tion of the Idaho admission bill. Mr. Dorsey (Neb.), in charge of the bill, opened the debate with a speech in its favor, He sketched the progress of the people of Idaho since the formation of the territory in 1863: eulogized its agricultural and mineral wealth; contended that its population entitled it to admission to the bright galaxy of states and protested that the people of that territory should no longer be a in political vassal- age, ywere in full sympathy with the best and most advanced thought of the eoun- try. The only opposition to the admismon of Idaho came from the Mormons, They pro- tested against the provision of the Constitu- tion which distranchises bigamists and pelyga- mists and persons who are members of any association which encourages bigamy. -— 00 THE B. AND P. TRACKS, Through the City. LAND AND VIRGINIA AVENUES AND FOR Di PRESSED TRACKS WEST OF DELAWARE AVENUE — THE BOARD OF TRADE'S PLANS FOLLOWED. A bill was introduced in the House yesterday by Representative Burton regulating the route of the Baltinfore and Potomac railroad in the District of Columbia. It provides that after January 1, 1894, this road sball enter the city along the northern shore of the astern Branch of the Potomac ata point between L and M streets south and shall proceed thence westwardly with a double track on and under K street south, Canal street and Virginia ave- nue toa passenger station south of the inter- section of Virginia aud Maryland avenues, and thence along end over Maryland avenue to the Long Bridge. TENCES, GATES AND BRIDGES, The entire route within the city when at street grade or in open cut is to be inclosed by an iron fence or railing upon a stone parapet of a construction to be approved by the Com- missioners, with an opening at each street crossing, to be protected by guard gates and by a watchman, Under the supervision of the Commissioners suitable bridges are to be con- structedat the cost of the railroad over the tracks at the intersection of 413. 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, llth and 12th streets with the route pre- scribed, After passing Delaware avenue in their course westward the tracks are to be de- pressed below the adjacent surface grades under the supervision of the Commissioner! and all the tracks are to be laid upon si grades as shall be determined by the Commis. sioners. THE PASSENGER STATION. The passenger station is located on squares 464, 484, 410 and 386, or any part thereof, at the intersection of Maryland and Virginia ave- nues, and freight tacilities are provided south of the tracks and east of 3d street west in squares abutting upon the line of the road. Power of condemnation to acquire the designated pro erty and the right to run side track to the acquired property are giver. ‘The United States is to pay the company for the station and bridge on the reservation an amount to be determined in case of disagree- ment by the Supreme Conrt of the District. Provision is made of a procedure for the re- covery of damages by the owner of any interest in real estate injuriously affected by the exer- cise of any of the powers granted. The bill contains many of the provisions of the Morrill bill, applicd to the Baltimore and Potomac road aloue, and modified in the line of the recommendations of the railroad report recently adopted by the Board of Trade, aS eee THE REPUBLICAN TARIFF BILL. Itis Probable That Some Changes Will be Made as a Compromise. ‘The republicans of the ways and means com- mittee are very confident that they will pass their tariff bill, notwithstanding the present storm of protests, It is expected, however, that some changes will have to be made by way of compromise. The indignation of the Massachusetts men over the duty on hides is an old story, but it grows no less with age. The Kansas and New Jersey folks are protesting against the duty on the lead,in silver lead ore, while Montana, Idaho, and Washington are insisting upon its’ reten- tion, Demands for free carpet wools are com- ing from the west as well as from the east, De- mands are being wade with equal earnestness for free sugar and for higher duties, TOBACCO MEN DON'T LIKE IT. Representatives of the Plorida and New York manufacturers of clear Havana tobacco ap- peared before the committee today and made a protest against the immense increase of duty on all wrapper tobacco. ‘The canuing interests are fighting the proposed increase of duty on tin plate, and there is more or less kicking along the line. THE COMMITTER NOT MUCH DISTURBED. All this, however, does not greatly disturb the committee. They expect that something in the way of compromise—they don’t know what—will be accomplished in some direc- tions; they expect: that amendments to the bill” will be proposed in all directions, and that nearly all of them will be voted down and that the bill will then get the votes of all but two or three of the republican members. They do not hope to get the vote of Mr, Coleman of Louisiana, and they think likely that Mr. Cheadle will vote against the bill, because the cut in the internalrevenne interferes with pension legislation. They do not think that any of the Massachusetts men nor Mr. Peters of Kansas will yote against the bill when it comes to the rub, A PROTECTION BILL, ‘The fact is that the republicans are obliged, a8 a party measure, to pass a tariff bill. More- over, it must be a protection bill, and they do not think they can make a bill more symmetri- cal in that line than the one they propose. Antagonisms cannot be avoided, but individ- ual members of the party will be obliged to sacrifice their own local interests for the good of the party as a whole, THE LAFAYETTE MONUMENT. Earnest Protest of the District Com- missioners Against the Selected Site. The following is a copy of a letter submitted to Senator Ingalls and Chairman Grout, chair- men of the congressional committees of the District of Columbia, today by the Commis- sioners. The letter explains itself: “At the risk of being thought intrusive we write to make our earnest protest against the completion of the ptoposed site for the Lafay- ette statue on the margin of Pennsylvania ave- nue just opposite the Executive Mansion. The unanimous opinion of the people of the Dis- trict, we believe, is that the location isunfortunate.
