Mr. Cannon (IIL), from the committee on appropriations, reported a joint resolution ap- Propriating €150,000 to enable the Secretary of War to distribute rations for the relief of des- titute people in the district overflowed by the Mississippi and its tributaries, Mr. Cannon a ba the necessity of immedi- ate governmental aid to prevent great and ter- rible destitution in the overflowed district. ‘The appropriation was sufficient to enable the Secretary to give one ration a day for twenty- one days to 35,000 people. The committee did not make ‘a larger appropriation be- cause it was informed that on May 13 next the legislature of Louisiana would be in session and the appropriation recommended would furnish rations until that time. Mr. Biand (Mo.) mquired where Congress found the authority to appropriate money for the relief of the people of the various states, Mr. Cannon replied that he found it in pre- cedents and in the starving demands of 36,000 persons, The joint resolution was passed, 139-24, THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL, On motion of Mr. Butterworth (Ohio)—yeas 120, nays 100—-the House went into committee of the whole (Mr, Payeon of Illinois in the chair) on the legislative appropriation bill, THE CIVIL SERVICE CLAUSE.

On motion of Mr. Cummings (N.Y.) an amemd- ment was adopted providing for the “actual” traveling expenses of the commission, instead of “necessary” traveling expenses, as provided in the bill.

THE SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL REPORT A SUBSTITUTE RILL—PROTESTS RECEIVED 8Y TRE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE—HEARINOS Topay, The republicans of the Senate finance com- mittee are at work ona tariff bill to be re- ported to the Senate as a substitute for the McKinley bill. They expect to have all their work done and to be ready to re- port very soon after the McKinley bill passes the House. ‘Ihe understanding is that the McKinley bill is to pass the House practi- cally as it is, but there is no expectation of its becoming a law in that form. ‘The Senate is expected to pass quite a differ ent bill, and the whole matter will be settled in conference on a disagreement between the two houses, . NO CHANCE FOR PASSAGE OF THE M'KINLEY BILL. It is said that tnere has never béen any ex- pectation among the party leaders that the McKinley bill would become a law in anything like the form it was reported. It is understood that the plan was pretty weil settled on from the first, aud that with this in view there will be no serious difficulty in passing the bili through the House. It was not possible for the party lead- ‘sof the two houses to agree upon # general pla for tariff revision, which could be put right through in the form of a bill xdopted as & party measure, though there was an attempt to do this, ‘There is quite a radical difference of views between the Senate finance committee and Mr. McKinley on several points. The ideas of the ultra protectionists are expressed in the Mc- Kinley bill, Having passed that through the House the party will be IN A POSITION TO COMPROMISE on something a little less radical, and those who feel that they are hit very hard by that bill will be in a frame of mind to be well pleased}with very smali concessions. They may make a number of such conces- sions and stil) pass a bill which will be radical enough for all practical purposes. A LARGE NUMBER OF PROTESTS are being received by the ways and means committee from interests in various parts of the country, many of which conflict with each othe Over 500 formal petitions bearing many hundred signatures have been received since the bill was reported. Some of the petitions of protest are very emphatic in their language, but the committee remain complacent and content with their work. TWO PETITIONS were received today from New York with rela- tion to the Dingley worsted bill, which was re- ported unanimously a day or twoago. One received by mail was from the Woolen Goods Association of New York praying for the prompt passage of the Dingley bill. The other sent by telegraph last night protested violently against the hasty passage of this same bill and asked for a hearing. A LARGR DELEGATION OF WORSTED IMPORTERS followed this dispatch of protest and this morning had a long hearing before the ways and means committee. They con- tended that the passage of this bill so hurriedly would do them great injustice, as they had contracts made already for importa- tions for fall trade based upon the rate ot duty assessed on worsteds for the pust twenty- four years. If they had to pay a higher duty they would loose on all these contracts. They asked that this feature of tariff legislation be not advanced more rapidly than the general tariff bill, A delegation of toy importers from Phila- ite and Baltimore had a hearing, spking for duties on toys than those proposed in the McKinley bill. ae COMING ARMY PROMOTIONS. Four Prominent Officers to be Retired Shortly—Who Will Succeed Them? There will be four important retirements from the active list of the army during the coming few months, giving vacancies for the Secretary of War and the President to fill that are of more than usual interest. Three of these are heads of bureaus, whorank as brig- adier generals, namely: Quartermaster Ge: Holabird, who retires June 16; Gen. McFeel; commissary general of subsistence. July 1, and Sur. Gen. Moore, August 16. The other one is Brig. Gens Benjamin H. Grierson, who was only recently promoted to that rank. WHO WILL BE QUARTERMASTER GENERAL? ‘There are a great many availabilities for the place of Gen. Holabird, all the four colonels of that corps—the quartermaster’s frequently named. These are Cols, C. H. Tomp- kins, J.D. Bingham, A. J, Perry and H.C. Hodges. Of these, three graduated from the ary academy in 1847, and one, Col, Judson Bingham, in 1880, so that there is but little choice among them as far as service goes, All four are good men, each having served through the war and gained the inestimable experience of the work necessitated during that period, All are good business men, all are in good standing and any one of them would make a good chief of bureau. But there is one fact that may serve as a guide. Col. Alexander Perry isto retire in December, 1892, and he will thus have just two and a half years to serve from the time of the vacancy. “This. it is thought by some, will be in his favor in the race. Lieut, Col. Sawtelle is said to be strongly mentioned. IN THE SUBSISTENCE DEPARTMENT there ary but two colonels, Beekman DuBarry and George Bell, the former having graduated from the military academy in 1845 and the lat- ter in 1848. But Col. Bell retires on the 12th of March, 1892, and Col. DuBarry, who ranks him, on the gth of December of the same year, Col, DuBarry has been acting as assistant to being thoroughiy acquainted with the adminis- tration of affairs in this* office, is supposed to stand aslightly better chance for promotion than the others, IN THE MEDICAL coups, it is conceded, there is but one probable candi- date, Chief Medical Purveyor Jedediah H. Baxter, who w the ranking colonel, and who has along volunteer record, But he will not retire for several years yet, and as there are two or three officers who stand next to him who retire before him he may have to wait. But public opinion among service men selects him as the best man. AS TO GEN, GRIERSON’S SUCCESSOR, Ip the ‘case of the selection of a colonel to become a brigadier geueral to succeed Gen. Grierson there will be the same trouble as that which was encountered recently. Col. Alex. MeCook wants to be a brigadier general ver: badly, and has strong influence, but is understood that the President does not care to appoint him, aud following the precedent which he established in the case of a successor to Gen. Miles, he is quite likely to go to the head of the list of colonels, where he will tind three very close on to their retire- ments—Chas, H. Smith, nineteenth infantry, who retires November 1, 1891; Geo. L. An- drews, twenty-fifth infantry, April 22, 1893, and August V.
