Tue Bexpan Fine Axms Compayy Cram. — Inthe Court of Claims this morning a memo- randum was handed down ordering the case of the Berdan Fire Arms Company remanded to the geueral docket for further hearings. This claim is for a large sum, and is based on the alleged uulawful use by the government of cer- tain devices for breech-loading rifles owned by the company. ‘Ihe court wants to hear are guments upon the question of whether the government is liable upon the theory of an im- plied contract to compensate the plaintiffs for the ejector device in use upon the Springfield gun, and also upon the following question: In case the first question is answered in the af- firmative what should be the measure of recovery.

In presenting a remonstrance against the Mc- Kinley bill Mr. Dawes said that it came from constituents and neighbors of his who were jobbers and retailers of domestic and foreign dry goods, The petition, he said, was a printed | paper, having a common origin with many others which he hadreceived. What thatorigin was he did not know. but it appeared to him that his constituents were made the voice of some central influence that spoke through them, Their business was just as respectable as that of the producer and consumer, but the producers and consumers were much the larger class in this country, His own opinion was that the petitioners were entitled to protection as well as the consumers and producers—that they were entitled to have their fair chance So far as the McKinley bill was concerned, itshould be found to impose anything else than exactly an equalization of conditions of protection it would go beyond any point that he would be able to sup- ort, Long since those opinions of is had been on record, The petitioners (his constituents) as well as the producers and con- sumers were entitled to exactly the same start in the American market and should by according to his best efforts, put upona ization of conditions. He hoped he would not be asked cither to promote or to oppose the McKinley bill. THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILI. Mr. Hale, trom the committee on appropria- tions, reported back the annual naval appro- priation bill and gave notice that he would ask the Senate to take it up at an early day. MR. DOLPH ON THE SILVER BILL, The silver bill was taken up at 12:40 and Mr. Dolph addressed the Senate. He stated that he was not in accord with some of his col- leagues from the west. He thought that international bi-metalism was desirable. So far ashe kuew there was not amemer of the Senate who was not in favor of beth gold and silver as money and who was not in favor of any measure that would, while securing as sound and good cir- culation, enhance the price of silver bullion.’ In considering the various plans proposed, he was satisticd that the plan pro- Sceretary of the Treasury w. open to less and to fewer objections than an of the others if the purpose was to keep both gold and stiver coin in circulation, HE ARGUED AGAINST THE FREE COINAGE, of silver as something that would stop the coin- age of gold, because no man, he said, would take to the mint to be coined metal that was worth 100 cents on the dollar if he could do as weil with that which was worth only s2 cents on the dollar. Mr. Teller asked him where silver bullion would be got at such a low price. Mr. Dolph replied that, if legislation was to advance the price of silver permanently, silver would How in from all over the world. But the free coinage of silver would not, he argued, increase — the hes of silver." The 500,000,000 of gold now in circulation would either go abroad to pay trade pay for silver bullion, or would 1 from circulation and hoarded. The DISAPPEARANCE OF GOLD would be more rapid that the accumulation of silver, and the contraction would cause a vio- lent agitation. Wat he had said in regard to the free coinage of silver did not, of course, apply to free coin under an international agreement and lishing ratio betweea goldand silver. ‘There never had been an hour when the United States government had not favored bi-metallism, But national bi-metallism was impracticable, and the only way to secure both metals as coin was to have AN INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT with the principal countries of Europe for the establishment of such an international ratio as would secure the free coinage of both metals in the mints of those countries and of the United States, But it was not possible ror the United States alone to control by legislation the relative value of gold and © silver, ‘There was no middle ground for the United States to stand upon in the de- onetization of silver. It was either to re- main with the countries that had a gold stand- ard or join with those that hadasilver standard, HOUSE, nees or to withdrawn Messrs. O'Neill and Harmer (Pa.) presented petitions of employes of various knitting mills of Pennsylvania in favor of the passage of the McKinley bill, Referred. The House went into committee of the whole (Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio in the chair) on the tariff bill, REPRESENTATIVE WILSON AND THE CAMPBELL LETTER. After the chairman had given a sharp admo- nition to the spectators in the gallery that they must preserve order, Mr. Wilson (W.Va.) took the floor ona question of personal privilege. He expressed his gratification that the lapse of time since the unhappy episode of Saturday permitted him to make « thoroughly deliberate and dispassionate statement, As the chairman of the committee had admitted a certain letter on the ground that a private citizen when as- sauited in the hall had a right to be heard in his own defense, and as that was undoubtedly a correct theory, he would endeavor to give a plain history of the whole — transaction, He then presented the facts relative to Mr. Campbell's appearance before the ays and means committee, his state- ment that Mess pum and Wison had said that ¥15 month was good wages for workingmen, the refutation of that state eration of it, in the form of an a ud the published denial of the truth of the affidavit, in conclusion he said that in view of the courteous relations which had heretofore ex- isted between the gentleman from Peunsyl- vania (Mr. Bayne) and himself, he would give that gentleman an opportunity to say whether he personally indorsed the langnage of Camp- beli as referring to him (Mr. Wilson), MR, BAYNE MAKES A STATEMENT. Mr. Bayne thereuvon arose and in a frank and manly way stated that when he presented the letter he knew nothing about the affidavit, which he felt sure grew out of a misunder- standing between Mr. Campbell and the gen- tiemen from Indiana and West Virginia (Mr. Bynum and Mr. Wilson). No one could regret more than he did that this had taken place. MR, WILSON SATISFIED, Mr, Wilson said that after this statement he did not feel that it was necessary for him to pursue this matter any further. Both Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bayne were calm and dispas- sionate in their language and manner, and the members of the House were pleased ‘that the scenes of Saturday were not re-enacted. LEAD OnE. The committee then proceeded to the consideration of the bill, the pending amendment being that offered by Mr. Funston (Kan.), striking from the metal sched- ule the proviso that silver ore and all other ores containing lead shall pay a duty of Lg cents per pound on the lead contained therein according to sample and assay at the port of entry. Mr. Frank (Mo.) regretted that theamendment had emanated from the republican side of the House and he earnestly opposed it. A BLESSING TO AMERICAN MINERS. Mr. Hopkins (ll.) contended that the im- Portation of Mexican ores was a blessing to American miners, as well as the workingmen engaged insmelting. In the name of American labor he protested against the provision which would control the output of American miners, There was in the gallery now a gentle- man who if the amendment were voted down would leave the galiery worth $1,000,000 more than when he entered it, i Mr. Crain (Texas) said that the iead-silver Proviso was illustrative of the logica} sequence of protection, namely, prohibition of; importa- tions. It could not be defended on the ground of needed revenue, for the Treasury sfas groan- ing under the weight of a surplus, and the table in the bill showed that the revenue would not be increased by the additional tax. Nbr could it be defended from a protective standpoint, be- cause it was not intended to protect an:American industry against foreign competition, but meant protection for one American! competi- tion against another American comppttion in the same branch of industry. The adoption of the proviso meant ‘ RUIN TO FRONTIER TOWNS ; and incalculable injury to American éapital in- vested in Mexican mines and Mexican ‘ailroads; to American capital invested in Amefican rail- roads and American manufactures, It would in- jure the merchants who furnished supyilies to the miners, the American laborers in Americe smelters, and it would injure Amerizan farm- | ers, Mexico, with its 12,000,000 of pgople, did not raise enough meat and breadstuffs tor their support, It furnished a market for American enttle, American wheat ind other cer The suggestion of Secretary’ Windom had resuited in’ retaliatory urps on the part of the Mexican government. 5 ME. FUNSTON'S AMENDMENT VoTED DOWN, After further debs r. Punston’s amend- ment striking out the clause proviiling that silver ores and all other ores contaiuing lead shall pay a dutyof 1'; cents per pound on the lead contained therein, according t> samp! and assay at the port of entry, was d®feated— 110 to 13: AGAINST THE MORMON CHURCH. The Supreme Court Affirms the Constl- tutionality of the Auti-Polygamy Law. . The Supreme Court of the United States to day rendered an opinion of vital interest to the Mormon church in the suit of the Church of Latter Day Saints against the Uz which comes here on apy of the supreme court of United States. The court ment, The case grows out of the passage of the Ed- munds ant:-polygamy law by the Forty-ninth Congr This law, among other things, dis- solved the Mormon Church corporation, annulled ita” charter, directed the ap- pointment- of a receiver to win up Its affairs and escheated to the United States all the real extate owned by the church in ex- tates, al from the decision tah in favor of the rms that judg- cess of 000 which as not on the date of the passage of the act held for purposes of worship or burial. When the United States, under the terms of this act, began proceedings to confiscate about $750,000 worth of prope belonging to the church, the Mormons mediately entered suit to have the munds law declared unconstitution It was argued ore. the Supreme Court in their behalf that Congress, by the dissolution of the church corporation, u dicial powers, and that the lative assembly of incorpo: ing the church constituted ac tract which could not be impai: by Congress under its authority to repeal ter- ritorial enactment: t the doctrine of to the spirit of free institutions and that it had never — been ed in this countr; reh or eb corporation, Ou the of th States it was con- tended that Congress tad authority to repeal all territorial enactments; that the was invalid to establish a law contrary to the provisions of the Constitution, and. that moreover the char- ter should beannulled for abu anted rights. As when the chure on Was dissolved there was no oue to whom to turn over the property it was properly escheated to the United states. THE LIBRARY BUILDI ‘Ge Proposed Ceremonies at the Laying of the Corner Stone. Mr. Baker introduced a joint resolution in the House Saturday providing for the laying of the corner stone of the Congressional Library building. The resolution states that the construction of the building is so far progressed that the ceremonies of laying the corner stone may be provided for atan early date. the building is to be in form. comeliness and proportion, and in. the treasures of literature, art and science to be therein stored such that it will be national in its churacter and world its cial influence, the Sen nid provide that the joint committee on the library, in co-operation With the chief of engineers the army, be instructed to arrange and pre for suitable ceremonies in connection with th: laying of the corner stone of the buildin; to extend to the grand master of M and for the District of Columbia, and to such other organizations as they may deem proper, an invitation to participate ir ceremon Two thousand dollars is appropriated by resolution for the expenses of sach ceremo- nies.

This is the well-known Fiske will contest and it goes against the uni- versity. There are a large number of opinions to be read, and the Kemmler case will not come up for argument until near 3 o'clock, so that it will probably be 4 o'clock, if not later, before a decision is rendered, SENATE 8 A Number of People Who Would Like to Suceeed Col.

Dunn of Dela- ware, THE VIRGINIA “COUPON CASES. The United States Supreme Court Re- verses the Decision of the State Court. The United States Supreme Court today ren- dered an opinion in favor of the coupon hold- ers on all points in the several suits of Cooper, Bryan, MeGahey, Ellett, Brown and Cuthbert against the court of Virginia, arising out of laws passed by Virginia to prevent coupon hold- ors from compelling the state to accept coupons in payment of tases. Decision of supreme court of appeals of Virginia reversed in each case. In the decision in two other Virginia tax cou- pon cases the court decides in favor of the state on special grounds. In Vashon against Greenhow it holds that the coupons are not re- ceivable for the ere school tax of the state for the reason that the special tax was set apart prior to the passage of the law of 1871 establishing a contract betwen the state and the bondholders, It also holds that coupons are not receivable for liquor license tax upon the ground that the state may regulate the liquor traffic by requiring the tax to be paid inany manner it sees fit. = en The strike in B.
