MONDAY, AP WORLD'S FAIR BILL TAKEN UP IN THE SENATE. Mr. Vest, in Opposing the Measure, Compares Chicago and Hades, ——__— OKLAHOMA BILL IN THE HOUSE. a Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: Senate bill to provide for an additional asso- ciate justice of the supreme court for the terri- tory of Arizona. House bill to amend the act to extend the fees of certain officers over the territories of New Mexico and Arizona. A DISTRICT BILL PASSED. Senate bill to prevent the spread of scarlet fever and diphtheria in the District of Colum- bia was passed. Mr. Reagan introduced a bill to repeal all laws for the retirement of army and navy offi cers from active # that he would, next Wednesday, address the Senate on the subject. TO INCREASE THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASES OF SILVER, Mr. Plumb introduced a concurrent resolu- tion directing the Secretary of the Treasury to increase the Treasury purchase and coinage of silver bullion to the maximum amount author- ized by the act of February 28, 1878, and gave notice that he would ask for its consideration tomorrow, THE WORLD'S PAIR BILL, On motion of Mr. Hawley the Senate pro- ceeded to consider the House bill to provide for celebrating the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus by holding an international exbi- bition of arts, industries, manufactures and the product of the soil, mine and sea in the city of Chicago, in the state of Mlinoi THE WASHINGTON CELEBRATION. The only amendment reported by the Senate coumnittee is the insertion of a new section providing for a naval review in New York harbor Ist April, 1895, and for the unveili of & statue of Christopher Columbus at Wash- ington. Mr. Hale inquired of Mr. Hawley whether it Was intended that the government should fur- nish the statue of Columbus, Mr. Hawley replied in the affirmative, stated that a bill for that purpose had passed the Senate and was now pending in the House, MRK, VEST NOT DISPOSED TO BE COERCED BY THR HOUSE. Mr. Vest said that it seemed to be assumed that becanse the House had passed the bill the S en- ate was under some coercion to pass it. He protested against such an assump- tion, The dill’ would probably — pass the Senate by an_overwhe! butno measure should ever pass the Senate with his vote on the assumption that the judg- ment of the House was coercive on the Senate, ‘That would be for the Senate to abrogate its constitutional functions, Mr. Farwell asked whether such aclaim had ever been authoritatively claimed. Mr. Vest said that as a matter of course it had not been authoritatively claimed, because such an idea would cover the author of it with con- fusion, Butit seemed to be soassumed in other places than the Senate. He kuew that his opposition to the bill-would be ascribed to the fact that the city of St. Louis had been an aspir- ant as a site for the world’s fair. That was a post mortem proceeding and he did not propose to introduce ghosts to disturb the equanimity of the Senate or the tranquility of the city of Chicago, OPPOSED TO AN EXPOSITION ANYWIH! He had from the beginning opposed all leg- islation looking to an exposition in 1892. He had everywhere, publicly and privately, an- nounced his opinion thet in his judgment the ming majority; law should not be passed which called it into existence. He did not believe that the temper of the people of the United States favored any such exposi- tion, He did not believe that the condition of the country justified such a spectac formance | at this time. The agricultural people of the country bad neither time nor money to give to a great national circus, ‘such as was proposed, The people of St. Louis did not complain of the result of the contest for the site. ‘They accepted it as Americans always accepted the result of an honest and fair contest. He knew that it had been said of him in so paper that he had declared as a Senator that in A CONTEST BETWEEN HADES AND CHICAGO. for the location of the fair he would support hades, As Chicago papers never lied, it was unnecessary for him to state, in a mild and not too emphatic way, that he made no such statement. He — stated the opinion that ina popular clection among the people of Missouri between hades and Chicago it would be a very close poll. As to what his own vote would be, he had never declared it as between those two distin- guished localities, On the contrary, he was prepared to state that in such a contest he would be strictly neutral. {Laughter,} MUCH IN COMMON BETWEEN HADES AND CHICAGO. There was much in common between the two localities, (Laughter.] The popuwiation of Chicago was active, energetic, aggressive, not z troubled by those moral and con- scientious considerations which a late interview characterized as “iri- descent dreams.” He had been told that the population of hades was composed of much the same material. Chicago, besides, was full of trusts, monopulies and combine: and the latest authentic information from hades was that they were forming there a trust on sniphur, in order to “bear” the market, There was high authority, also, for the statement that the —’ water supply of Chicago was defective. He had be- fore him an article from the Chicago Herald that, instead of a magnificent lake supply of pure water,the only supply came from filthy and fetid creeks, reekiug with the debris aud corrup- tions of stock ‘ds. He took it that the same paper which had stated his standing as be- tween Hades and Chicago bad also told the truth in that matter. He put it plainly and contest for the fair, anything that elevated or dignified the American character at home or abroad? Nominations Today. The President sent the following nominations to the Senate today: ‘To be post chaplains in the army, Rev. Delmar R. Loweil of Vermont; Rev. John L. Galvin of Ohio. Treasury—John W. Oast of Virginia, to be supervising inspector of steam vessels for the third district (Norfolk. Va.). HOU Mr. Dorsey (Neb.) introduced a joint resolu- tion “that the Secretary of the ‘Treasury be, and he is hereby, directed to increase the ‘Treasury purchase of silver bullion to the maxi- mum amount authorized by an act ‘to authorize the coinage of the standard silver dollar and to restore its legal tender character,’ which act was passed over the veto of the President and became a law February 28, 1878.” Referred, On motion of Mr. Thomas (Wis.) a bill was en providing that soldiers who lost their imbs during the late war shall be entitled to receive an artificial limb every three years, (The present law permits them to receive it every five years.) ‘THE OKLAHOMA BILL. Mr. Struble (Iowa) submitted the conference report on the bill to provide a temporary gov- ernment for the tertitory of Oklahoma, ae ary tent terri f Oklahoma aries-o! of as to exclude from the territorial Limite Ghat to known as the Cherokee outlet, It is however, that as soon as the is extinguished it shall become a to this outlet part of the territory of Oklahoma without fur- fairly, whether there had been, in the whole | 4 RIL 21, 1890, ther legislation, and that the lands therein shall be opened to settlement as other lands in the said territory. It is also provided that jurisdiction to enforce the laws of the United States in the Cherokee outlet shall be conferred upon the supreme and district courts of the territory of Oklahoma. ‘The reading of the report occupied an hour and a half. — THE CIVIL SERVICE INQUIRY.

SECRETARY RUSK’S ADVICE, c He Thinks He Can Tell What is the Matter With the Farmers. A Washington special to one of the New York Papers today says Secretary Rusk is about to issue an address to the farmers of the country explaining how the depression in agriculture be remedied. He attributes the present state of affairs in part to carelessness in cul- ture, and says that in these days of world-wide competition a successful farmer must be as well trained and careful in business as the store- keeper, and his equal in intelligence and gen- eral education, The Secretary also thinks that the farmer does not study the reports as carefully as he should and recommends that he avail himeelf of the information supplied by the Agricul- tural Department. He thinks that farmers should not acquire more land than they can profitably cultivate. After touching upon the questions of farm mortgages, transportation, the middleman, gambling in farm products, nd combinations to control the market, the Secretary makes a long argument in favor of higher duties on farm products. He gives ta- bles to show that our imports of agricultural products amount to $26,273,738, the greater part of which, probably 1,000,000, might be, with proper encouragement, produced on our owu soil, He thinks that the problem can be solved by the mposition of igh rates of duty on agricultural products. THE WESTERN "UNIONS CLAM, The Government Indebted to it for Nearly a Year of Telegraph Service. At the end of next June the government will be indebted to the Western Union Telegraph Company for an entire year of telegraph ser- The telegraph company has refused to accept the rate fixed by Postmaster General naker and the latter has declined ake any further modification, Mr, Wanawaker’s rate is 10 cents for ten words for distances of 300 miles and less, and a proportionate increase for greater distances, The government busi- ness done by the telegraph company is said to amonnt to $200,009 annually, The company is still continuing to take all government mes- sages, but ever sinc last June they have re- fused to receive any pay on the basis of the new rates, it is said that the com- pany proposes to _—institute — suit to determine the ~— legal questions involved.

Proposed Combination of Government Employes Who Borrow Money Monthly. A new kind of combination among govern- ment employes is proposed. It is designed to get the best of the men who are known as “ten percenters.” The latter are said to bi class of men who accommodate clerks and other government employes with small loans of Y exact, the consideration of 10 per cent month on the — total amount of the loan. The borrowers have re- solved to combine and by concentrating the business they expect to get lower rates. A Srar reporter was told the other day by an He ploye ot one of the departments that it was the i prised entirely of those who were in the habit of borrowing mou An arrangement would then be made with a man of means who would supply the money. At first it was thought that the rate would be about ten per cent a month, but as the association grew in tim 1 favor it was expected that the rate of interest money and for this accommodation th s, in some — cas would be reduced. It would then be possible not only to obtain money readily but to get it cheaper. It used to be the custom in some of _ the departments to collect these — debts from the employes and pay the money over tothe money lender. But finally some head of a department decided that it was uot the business of the goverument to collect private debts, and in a short time this doctrine came to be generally accepted in government official circles, ee Se Judgments of the Court of Claims.

The Cretans are being deliberately driven to desperation by the Turks with a vie to undoing the freedom gained in fifty years of struggling, and to restoring the Turkish role of the last century, The Turks had the advantage of being able at the beginning of the last year's disturbances to put the Cretan in the wroug. aud at the same time to gain a military hol on =the island. ~The Powers are embarrassed — first, because they cannet contest the right of the Turkish goverument to repress what was j plausibly represented as an imsurrection, and condly, because strong pressure on Turke might uphoid the existing combmations, The Lurks have beture appealed to Russia for help and migit do so again.
