THE SUPREME COURT SITE BILL AMENDED, Qn motion of Mr. Harris the yote by which a bill was passed last Saturday providing a site for the Supzeme Court building was reconsid- ered and the bill was amended by giving the Supreme Court of the District power to hear testimony in contested cases of valuation, and as amended it was again passed, Mr. Cockrel! offered a resolution (which was agreed to) directing the superintendent of the census to communicate to the Senate the forms of the rules and regulations adopted by him for obtaining statistics as to farm mortgages. Mr. Manderson offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Secretary of War for copies of reports prepared under the diree- tion of the chief signal officer of the army as to the climate of Nebraska, showing particularly the climatic conditions as to temperature and rainfall in the agricultural section. FOR FREE COINAGE OF SILVER, Mr. Plumb’s resolution (heretofore offered) for the increase of the Treasury purchase and coinage of silver was presented and Mr. Eustis moved, as an addition to it, a further resolu- tion that the free coinage of silver is essential to a sound financial policy and is demanded by all the great interests of the country, and that, therefore, all laws limiting the coinage of sil- ver ought to be repealed. Mr. Plumb consented to let the resolution lie over for the present, so as to give Mr. Mitchell &n opportunity to address the Senate. ELECTION OF SENATORS BY POPULAR VOTE. Mr. Mitchell addressed the Senate in tgvor of the constitutional amendment proposed by bim for the election of Senators by popular vote. He summarized the debate in the constitutional convention on that subject, and stated that the plan of having Senators elected by the state legislatures was a compromise be- tween widely diverging and conflicting views in convention, One of these views had been properly characterized as a long stride toward monarchy. That was the proposition to have Senators appointed by the President of the United States. The opposite view was the election of Senatorg by the people, But mu- tual concessions had been made and it was de- cided that Senators should be chosen by the legislatures of the several states, It did not fol- low, however, that changes should not be made in the fundamental charter, Already fifteen changes had been made, and who, he asked, would insist that any of them was not well ad- vised? In every one of them, gradualiy, step by step.with a stately and captivating grandeur, the doors of individual liberty had been wid- ened. civil rights had been enlarged and the spirit of monarchy rebuked. All those amend- ments led up logically to the pending proposi- tion. ‘The present system of electing Senators Mr. Mitcheil declared to be unrepublican, not dem- ocratic and vicartons in ali respects: to be in purpose and effect a declaration that for some occult reason it was unsafe to commit the elec- tion of Senators to the vote of the people: and to be aretlection on the honesty or capacity (or both) of the voting classes, HOUSE. Mr. Dingley (Me.), from the committee on ways and means, reported a bill providing for the classification of worsted cloths as woolens, The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to classify as woolen cloths all imports of worsted cloth, whether known under the name of worsted cloth or ugder the names of worsted or diagonals or ot®erwise. Com- mittee of the whole. THE WORLD'S FAIR BILL FINALLY PASSED. Mr. Candler (Mass,) moved that the House concur in the Senate amendments to the world’s fair bill. This being agreed to, the dill is finally passed and will be sent to the President for his action, — - LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL. The House then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Payson (Ill.) in the chair, on the legislative appropriation bill. Mr. Butterworth (Ohio) in a brief explana- tion of the bill said that in some of the bareaus of the departments there was substantially a civil pension list. It consisted of a number of old persons who had faithtully served the gov- ernment in the past, at who were no longer able to perform _ their cuties. They were carried on the rolls, but were of no service to the government. The committee on appropriations had allowed an increase in the clerical force of the civil service commission substantially as requested by the commission, CRITICIZING THE BILL, Mr. Dockery (Mo. ) criticized certain features of the bill, especially the increase made in the number of government employes, The bill provided for the appointment of 1 new of- icers ata cost of $161,500. He did not say that all of this increase Was unnecessary, but in many instances it should not have been made at this Referring to the civil pension list, said that a _ hurried examination had shown the fact that in the departments there were employed 397 persons who were wholly or partially inefficient, but who drew salaries amounting to $450.000, He believed that if there was NEW BLOOD IN THE DEPARTMENTS Fifteen hundred clerks could be discharged ata saving to the tax-payers of $1,500,000 a year. He called the attention of the commit- tee on civil service reform to this fact. In- stead of carrying on an unprofitable investign- tion let the committee take into consideration the subject of the inefficiency of the clerical force of the departments. MR. ALLEN SARCASTIC, Mr. Allen (Miss.) confessed that he was some- what disappointed in the bill, He quoted from speech delivered by Mr. Cannon and used as a campaign document, declaring that the re- publican party was devoted to the country and would, if — into — administer the vernament wi great economy and greatl; Reduce expenditures, y 7 It was promise which accounted for his disappointment. He failed to find tnat there was any reduction in this bill.

It is Expected That Representative Cheatham Will Appoint One. THE SECOND CASE OF THE KIXD—THE Fist con- ORED NAVAL CADET AND MIS EXPERIEY BIS CLASSMATES WOULD NOT FENCE WITH BIM— HOW THE PRESENT SITUATION OCCURRED, Appointments of naval cadets are beginning to flow into the Navy Department to fill the vacancies that will be caused by the gradua- tion of the class in June; but there is one vacancy already existing that is not yet filled and that attracts some attention among officers. This vacancy is to the credit of Representative Cheatham of the second district of North Carolina, the only colored man in Congress, and it therefore be- comes & direct probability that the new cadet will be of the dark race, THE SECOND OF THE KIND. This will be the second instance of the kind and the outcome will be noted with intense interest by every man in the service, But Mr. Cheatham is holding off without giving any in- dication of what he intends to do, and prob- ably will not announce his appointment until late in the season, TRE FIRST COLORED CADET. The other time that a colored cadet went to the academy there was quite a good deal of trouble asa result. He was shunned by all bis classmates and the other cadets refused to oppose him im their fencing lessons. After a while it was noted by the cadet engineers that they wore being assignod to crass swords with the colored boy regularly instead of the cadet midshipmen, so they put their heads together and the next time one of them was sent to this duty he rebelled on principle. He was court-martialed and dismsised, but the affair reached the news- papers and raised a row that led to an investi- ation, The colored cadet was afterward “bilged” for non-efficiency. HOW THE PRESENT VACANCY OCCURS. The present situation arises from a peculiar state of affairs, One cadet roported another for atrivial offense and the latter, thinking that it was meant as a personal affront, chal- lenged the other to a fist fight. The chal- lenge was accepted and the fight took place one night, seconds attending each combatant. Jenkins, the challenger, knocked out his antagonist so completely that he had to be taken to the hospital, this leading to a discovery of the affair. Jenkins was court- martialed and sentenced to be dismessed and the case held in the office \of the Secretary for some days awaiting his decision. It _was, ‘of conrse, clearly seen that his dis- missal meant the chance of a colored cadet at the academy, and this fact had some bearing on the delay, for Cadet Jenkins was appointed from the second North Carolina district. JENKINS MAY GET BACK. Since his dismissal, which was finally ap- proved by the Secretary, Jenkins has been stir- ring around with great energy to get intothe service in some way, but withont success. He first made an effort: to obtain an «ppointment to West Point, but this was not rewarded and now he seeks tobe made a let in the revenue marine service, Inasmuch as this or- ganization is likely tobe transferred to the navy, and as Jenkins is very apt to gain his point, for he has brought some very strong in- fluence to the front, it looks as though he might yet get back into the navy after al. He appealed to Secretary Tracy to approve nis ap- plication, but that official dissented on the Ground that he would thereby be going back on his former decision. A HARD NUT TO CRACK. The Silver Problem Still Bothering the Nation’s Law Makers, The republicans are much disturbed over the failure to agree on the silver question. There are a half dozen different notions as to what ought to be done held by the “financial experts,” while a large proportion of the mem- bers on both sidesare in a state of variance on the subject. The Windom _pro- position has a strong following among the best informed men on financial guestions, and the majority of the committee on coinage is making a hard fight for it. but it does not seem possib.c for an agreement to be reached on thing. ‘This state of affairs has given rise toa gen- eral impression that the law will be unchanged or that a resolution will be passed directing the Secretary to purchase the full four milli lars’ worth of silver per month perm the present law. THE HOUSE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS COMNTTTER, in pursuance of the resolution of the caucus last night, will hold a meeting this afternoon in the furtherance of the endeavor to come to an agreement with the Senate republican caucus committee, ‘lhe latter committee will probably meet some time in the afternoon, as they look upon the action of the Honse caucus last night as an invitation to re- sume negotiations, Some of the Senate com- mittee are in favor of passing the Jones biil without regard to the action of the Honse. and, if the latter passes a bill of differing pro- visions, letting the matter be settled by a con- ference committee.

The committee on ways and means, both parties, held their first thoroughly harmonious session today, They took up the question of the discrepancy between the classifications of woolens and worsteds. By a peculiar over- sight or short sight in the present tariff law worsted cloth is admitted at our ports by the payment of a duty of from 10 to 24 cents, while woolen cloth must pay 35 cents per pound, besides the ad valorem. All worsteds came in at this low duty until Secre- tary Windom rendered a decision classifying nals or otherwise. This ‘Gee eR erst hag ed Manufacturers, FEE. A F qi ape : | = i .

Int., April 22.—Within a short time a stout iron fence will be put around the Lincoln monument and nobody will be allowed inside the inclosure except during certain hours of the day. This step was decided on at a meeting of the Lincoln Monument Associa- tion, the object being to vent the monu- ment from being mutilated by relic seekers. Heretofore there bas been no fence of any kind surrounding the monument and when the custodian was not on the ground it was left to the mercy of visitors. Within the Inst few mouths two of the groups of statuary on the monument have been badly mutilated. The sarcophacus in which once reposed the body of Lincoln is in the catacomb on the north side of the monument only a few fect from the en- trance, where there as simply an iron grating. A short time ago some visitor during the absence of the custodian, pushing in between the gates with a bar, knocked a piece from the sarcophagus and carried it off. Similar acts of vandalism have been quite common for years, and it has been found necessary to provide some means for the protection of the monu- ment.
