A Clause in the Legislative Appropria- tion Bill Leads to a Lively Debate, MR. CHANDLER'S NEW RULE. He Proposes That the Senate Adopt Speaker Reed’s Practice. THE SENATE, Mr. Sherman, from the committee on foreign relations, reported back (in lieu of Mr. Rea- gan’s bill concerning the irrigation of arid lands in the valley of the Rio Grande river) a concurrent resolution requesting the President to enter into negotiations with the government of Mexico on the subject. Mr. Reagan said that he had read the substi- tute and thought that it would accomplish the purpose, As there was need for speedy action e asked that the resolution be adopted now. The concurrent resolution was read and adopted. House bill to authorize the county of Mari- copa, Ariz., to issue bonds in aid of railroad construction was reported back favorably from the committee on territories and placed on the calendar. Mr, Blair introduced a bill to amend the interstate commerce act by adding a proviso that nothing in the act shall be construed to interfere with or prevent full, fair and free competition between all common carriers of the United States and those of foreign coun- tries by land and sea. Keferred. TO ADOPT SPEAKER REEDS RULING. Mr. Chandler offered a resolution to adopt the following among the standing rules of the Senate: Whenever a bill or resolution reported from @ committee is under consideration the Senate may, on motion to be acted on without debate or dilatory motions, order that on a day not less than aix days after the passage of the order, debate shall cease, and the Senate pro- ceed to dispose of the bill or resolution; and, when said di shall arrive, at 3 o'clock, the vote shall be forthwith taken without debate or dilatory motions, upon any amendment to the bill or resolution, and upon the passage thereof. Whenever a quorum of Senators shall not vote upon any roil call the presiding officer, atthe request of any Se’ tor, shall caused to be entered upon the journal the names of all Sexators present and not voting, and such Senators shall be deemed and taken’ as in attendance and present as a part of a quorum to do business and deciara- tion of the result of tho voting shall be made accordingly. The purpose of the foregoing rules is to ‘expedite the taking of votes in the Senate and to facilitate public business, Mr. Eustis asked Mr. Chandler if the pro- posed rules were the result of a Republican caucus, MR. CHANDLER ASSUMES THE RESPONSIBILITY. Mr. Chandler—If they were I should not be at liberty to state it to the Senator; but I will oblige him by stating that no Senator had any knowledge that I had drawn the resolution and intended togpffer it. ‘ The resofution was referred to the commit- tee on rules. Senate bill to create a customs district of the territory of Arizona was taken from the calen- dar and passed. THE ECKINGTON RAILROAD BILL. On motion of Mr. Hoar the ponding motion (heretofore made by Mr. Edmunds) for the re- consideration of the vote passing the bill to amend the charter of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company in the District of Columbia was laid on the table and a conference ordered on the disagreeing votes between the two Houses, Mr. Plumb gave notice that he would tomor- row ask the Senate to consider his resolution as to an increase of silver coinage, BILL TO REPEAL THE ARMY, NAVY AND MARINE RE- TIREMENT LAWS. Mr. Reagan addressed the Senate in support of his bili (introduced last Monday) to repeal all laws for the retirement of officers of the army, navy, marine corps and of the judiciary from active service on He said that in introducing the bill he had done so in obedience to a clear and strong con- viction of duty, free from any unkindness of feeling toward any of the classes re- ferred to in it. He felt bound to do what he could to preserve the constitutional system of the government in its purity and to restore, if possible, equality of right in all citizens, 0 that cxch should enjoy the fruits of his own labor, and so that no one should be aliowed privileges or emoluments not common to all.

Referred. THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr, Payson of Illinois in the chair) on the legislative appropriation bill, the pending question being on the motion of Mr. Dunnell (Minn.) to strike out the clause providing clerks for Senators. DEFENDING HIS PARTY. Mr. Sayers (Texas) quoted statistics to show that the increase in ofticers and salaries, which the democratic House of the Fiftieth Congress had been charged with being responsible for, had not been made by the House, but had been placed upon the appropriation bills by a re- publican Senate and the House had been com- pelled to accept it in order to save the bills. ANOTHER AND SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT VIEW OF IT. Mr. Cannon (Ill.) said that after the demo- cratic House had refused to carry out the recommendation of a democratic President democratic Representatives would go to the republican Senate and have amendments put on there which they had not had the courage to pro) in the House. sir, Breckinridge a) hoped that the motion would be adopted. If the clause were to be placed on the bill it should be done at the re- west of the Senate and not be originated by House, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SENATE AND them. Representatives onght also to have clerks, Nine out of ten members wanted to have clerks, and if there was not a yea and hay vote they would get them. Nine out of every ten were WILD TO GET CLERKS, but when the yeas and nays were called they went on dress parade and voted against the Proposition. (Laughter and applause.j If he (Mr. Butterworth) had a clerk he would be worth 210,000 a year more to his constituents, because he would not have to go tramp, tramp, tramp from department to department doing all things on earth except the Dusiness which he was sent here to do. Mr. Breckinridge (Ky.) admitted that the Senators had more need of clerks than did the Representatives Under the present rates and their administration no member kpew what business was coming up in the House; he had no opportunity to study it and’ no time to muss it, It was therefore not so important that they should have clerks, was usurping the power of the House and, in spite of its continuing character, was becoming the leader of public opinion. The Senate di cussed public matters in public before the na- tion, and as long as it continued to do this (and the House continued to conduct its business without proper debate) it would become the true representative of the people. THE HOUSE WAS ABDICATING ITS POWER day by day. Through the machinery of party caucuses members could not express their opinions on the floor of the House. to be no public discussion, no contact cf minds here, no opportunity for amendment. As jong as this continued the peop that im the Senate these privileges would not be impaired and the dignity of the Senate should not be diminished. Mr. Kerr (Lowa) and Mr. Holman (Ind.) strenuously objected to any provision for giv- ing clerks to Representatives. Mr. Cutcheon and Mr. Allen (Mich.) took the other view, believing that it would be of bene- fit to constituencies, The motion to strike out was lost—85 to 57. HOW THEY TREAT REPUBLICAN POSTMASTERS IN THE SOUTH, In speaking to a verbal amendment Kelly (Kan.) replied to a remark made by Mr. Allen (Miss,) to the effect that some of the newly mt pagent postmasters in Missis- sippi ha moved their offices out of the towns into the country. Thinking that there must be some reason for this he (Mr. Kelly) had gone to the Post Ofice Department and had been informed that in some places it was impossible fora republican postmaster to secure a location in town and he was obliged to go to the country. As an instance of the manner in which some republican po: masters were treated in the south he read a letter from W. A, Fink appointed in May as postmaster at Abbeville, S.C., who states that shortly after his appointment he was SET UPON BY A MOB led by Ward S. Cothran, son of Congressman Cothran, and beaten with barbed wire and or- dered to leave the town. Mr. Enloe (Tenn,)—Did you write the letter for him? Mr. Kelly.—I want to state to the man that I did write the letter. | [Derisive laughter on the deiocratie side] I wrote the letter at his request. newed laughter. | Mr. Henderson (lowa)—If you stop your sneering and deny the facts it will be better. [Farther langhter on the democratic side. | Mr. Rowell (Il.)—It is fanny to the other side of the House to hear accounts of murder and whipping with barbed wires, Mr. Kelly—The gentleman signed the letter in my presence. Mr. MecMillin—Why did he not write the letter? geutle- u MORE LAUGHTER. Mr. Kelly—On account of arm is paralyzed. [Derisive laughter. ] Mr. Boutelle—I insist that a member on this floor shall not be treated as postmasters and mail clerks in the south, Mr. Kelly said that Mr. Finley had made an affidavit to the facts of the case which had been published in the Philadelphia Press, Mr. Blount (Ga.) inquired whether the gon- tlemax was sure that Mr. Finley was par- alyzed. ‘Mr. Kelly replied that Mr. Finley had every appearance of being paralyzed. Mr. Kelly thea proceeded to read from let- ters of southern postmasters to Gen. Clarkson, complaining of outrages, Mr. Breckinridge ( ky.) inquired by what an- thority Gen. Clarkson had turned over these papers to the gentieman, Mr. Kelly was unable to say what the law was, the outrage his Mr. Breckinridge—In what way did the gon- | tleman obtain possession of the official papers of the Post Oftice artment? Mr. Kelly—-I went to Gen, Clarkson and got the papers from him with his free consent. I did not steal ther Mr, Breckinridge—Of course not. I do not think the gentleman would be guilty of petty are Continuing, Mr. Kelly said that he did not agree with the gentleman from Mississippi in his criticism of the sident, He did not complain that the President played with his little grandchild, but he wished he would cease it long enough to see toit that every man in the United States, black or white, is under the protection of the flag. [Applause and laughter. } THE ARMY, The Presigent Remits the Sentence in the Case of Lieut. Paddock. HE W The President has remitted the sentence of dismissal in the case of First Lieut. James V. S. Paddock, fifth cavalry, who was tried by court-martial at Fort Leavenworth April The charges were n ‘ing and causing to be presented a false and fraudulent claim against the United States and conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman (in duplicating pay ac- counts), The court sentenced Lieut, Paddock to be dismissed the service. The President's en- dorsement is as follows: “The sentence in the case of First Lieut. J. V. S. Paddock is hereby confirmed. In this case all of the members of the court recommend clemency on ac- count of the valuable services ren- dered by the accused and his disability resulting from wounds received in action, which recommendation is concurred in by the acting judge advocate general and the major general commanding. But previous gallant service cannot be accepted as palliating violations of law. It appears, however, in views expressed upon the record by the major general commanding and the acting juage advocate general that the acts of the accused were only technically of a character calling for the penalty adjudged and that there was an ab- sence of intention to defraud. The President is therefore of opinion that the interests of the service do not demand the enforcement of the sentence, which is hereby remitted.” Eleven Million Dollars Involved.

According to its officers the assembly last Sun- day voted substantially to demand the dismissal of Superintendent Voorhees, and declared their intention to begin a general strike unless the demand was complied with.

His wife stopped the press train, however, eral Manager Toucey sent Mrs. Cosgrove a check for $100 and rein- stated her husband for life. The men declare that Voorhees has reduced the ranning force between New York and Buffalo more than 400 men, The number of flagmen, they say, has been reduced one-third, President Depew says the reductions are only those made every spring, and that Mr. Voor- hees is only carrying out the orders of bis su- periors. ° . 1,200 CHICAGO BRICKMAKERS STRIKE, Caicaco, April 23.—Ail the brickmakers in the northern and northwestern yards, to the number of some 1,200, went out on strike yes- A meeting was held on Sunday at it was determined to demand that 7,000 hould constitute a day's work instead bricks same. — INTO A FIERY PIT, Five Chicago Firemen Have a Narrow Escape from Death.
