Mr. Hoar presented remonstrances signed by several Boston firms against the great increase of duties proposed in the McKinley bill on silk goods, plushes and velvets, MR. INGALLS CONCURRED. Mr. Ingalls introduced a bill to abolish metal money and said that he did so at the re- quest of the Wage Workers’ Political Alliance of Washington, D.C. That alliance (he said) desired to have it publicly snnounced that it was responsible for the provisions of the bill— @ desire in which he cordially concurred, MR, STANFORD'S LAND LOAN BILL. Mr. Stanford introduced a bill for loans on public lands and eaid that he would hereafter address the Senate on the subject. IMPORTED LIQUORS. The Senate then proceeded to consider the bill reported trom the judiciary committee. Mr. Wil- son (Iowa), who had introduced the bill in the first instance and had afterward reported it back, addressed the Senate in explanation and advo- cacy of it, stating that it was made necessary by the recent decision of the Supreme Court on that subject. HOUSE, A conference was ordered on the District of Columbia appropriation bill; and then the House went intocommittee of the whole (Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio in the chair) on the tariff bill. Mr, Henderson (N.©.) offered an amend- ment abolishing the minimum punishment prescribed for violation of the internal revenue laws. Rejected, THE COTTON INTERESTS, Mr. Co-vles (N.C.) offered an amendment re- Pealing the tobucco tax. Rejected, Mr. Sayers (Yex.) offercd an amendment providing that iron and steel. cotton ties or oops for bailing or other purposes, not thinner than No. 20 wirs gauge, shall be adm:tted free of duty. Mr. Blanchard (La.) in discussing the amend- ment suid he regarded the bill as a direct blow at the cotton-growing interests of the south. Mr. Stewart (Ga,) said that the effect of the provision of the bill in regard to cotton ties would be to bear heavily upon the colored laborer of the south. Mr. Hare (Tex.) argued that the high duty proposed practically amounted to an export t ax. Mr. Bayne (Pa.) contended that it was in the interest of the colored laborer of the south as weil as in the interest of every laborer in the land that such duties should be imposed as would give employment to the people of the United States and not to the people of other countries, There was capacity in this country to make the cotton ties which were required. Mr. Clarke (Ala.) spoke in favor of the amendment, and Mr. Wheeler (Ala.) made an earnest appeal against the proposed iucrease of duty. Mr. Burrows (Mich.) said that if the bill Ee d the cotton tie industry would be estab- ished in this country. oc Sayers’ amendment§ was rejected; 96— 124, Mr. Breckinridge (Ark.) moved to fix the duty on cotton ties at 45 per cent ad valorem, Lost. THE SUGAR SCHEDULE. Mr. McKenna (Cal.) offered amendments oom pletely: rear the. sugar-schedule. Mr. Me enna sald tent his amendment made @ reduction on existing duty on sugar of about 33 per cent. It retained the dividing line at 13 instead of 16, and secured to the refiners of this country the refining of sugar between 13 and 16, which the pending bill unpatriotically sent to foreign retiners, OPPOSED TO THE LEE BILL. Capt. Rossell Makes a Railroad Report Which the Commissioners Approve. House bill 9484, ‘to detine the routes of steam railroads in the District of Columbia and for other purposes,” introduced by Mr. Lee and advocated by the Protective Association of South Washington, has been before the Com- missioners for some time. ‘This is the bill that proposes to locate the Pennsylvania railroad station on the square south of the Botanical Gardens, to remove the tracks from Maryland and Virginia avenues and run them as elevated road to the station. Capt. Rossell, to whom the matter was referred for report, today in a letter to Col. Robert says: “Referring to the many discussions that have taken place with the Commissioners in regard to steam railroad routes I would say that in my opinion this route will meet with so much opposition that it will be impossible to pass it. The expense of building the elevated road or the new clevated bridge will be very large, and unlese suflicient time can be given to calculate the cost of these improvements no intelligent report can be made as to the ad- visability of attempting or forcing the passage of this bill, The bill was presented and urged by some of the citizens of South Washington, and it was stated by them that they were op- josed to any other solution that had eon proposed for the Baltimore and Potomac railroad question I can only say that in my opinion this road could not be built and further that I do not believe it ever will be.” The Commissioners have con- dered Capt. Rossell’s report and written a letter to the District committees stating that they are unabie to recommend the passage of the bill, —$—$—_____ A CHANCE FOR DAGGETT, Mr. Wanamaker Postpones Action on the Postal Card Contract. Mr. Russell of the Russell Paper Company, now supplying the paper upon which the pos- tal cards are printed, had a long conference to- day with Postmaster General Wanamaker. He is indignant that his paper has been rejected by the government inspector and he had called to see Mr. Wanamaker about it. It had been practically decided to annul the contract with Mr. Daggett for far- nishing postal cards, to go into effect today, but upon representations made by Mr. Russell the Postmaster General concluded to postpone this action for five days. Mr. Russell is one of the largest paper manufacturers in the world. He has furnished paper before for the government and he maintains that his paper isallright. Mr. Wanamaker intends to iook into the matter personally, and by next Satar+ day he expects to be able to finally determine the question as to whether Mr. Daggett shall continue with his contract. In the event that the Daggett contract is annulled, the depart- ment will invite new pro| In the mean- time arrangements will be made for a tem- porary supply. The Texas Way. Gov.

COMMITTEE ROOMS TODAY. lous Industries Talk About the Tariff. Representatives of V The ways and means committee this morn- ing gave short h.arings to representatives of several industries which seek to have amend- ments made to the tariff bill before the final vote is taken. The fine cut tobaceo manufac- turers were represented by P. Lorillard of New York, Dr. Spence of Cincinnati, A. C. Marshall of Dayton, Ohio, Oren Scotten, J. T. Lowery, C. D, Huil and T. C. McGraw of De- troit, Representative Farquhar of New York intro- duced John B. Manning of Buffalo, H. C. Cullen and Mr. Irwin of Oswego, representing the malsters of New York state. Representa- tive Mason of Illinois wanted all bristles made dutiable at ten cents a pound. THE SENATE AND THE TARIFF. Ever since the tariff bill was reported to the House by Mr. McKinley it has been under con- sideration, in an informal way, by members of the Senate committee on finance. Delegations who have visited Washington desiring to be heard upon various schedules have been told to put their views in writing and in that shape they will be considered by the committee at their leisure. | v ORIGINAL PACKAGES. Representative Sweney (Iowa) today briefly addressed the House committee on commerce in favor of the bill to amend the interstate commerce act so as to forbid the bringing into & state of liquor in original packages where the state law prohibits such importation, THE PENSION BILL. The conference committee on the pension bills held its first meeting yesterday, Two members of the pension committee of the Grand Army. Messrs, Koontz and Burst, were before the committee and stated the position of the Grand Army on the subject of pension legislation. The differences existing between the two houses were then briefly discussed and without any action and without fixing any time for a future conference the committee ad- journed. There is an evident disposition to harmonize on the radical differences between the two houses and to reach an amicable adjust- ment of the subject. CONFIRMED. The Senate in executive session yesterday confirmed the foliowing nominations: A. T. Thomas, postmaster at Milford, Del., and C. E. Johnson, postmaster at Clear Lake, Iowa, NO EXTRA MONEY FORK CENSUS TAKERS. Senator Hale has introduced a bill to amend the census act so as to provide that any super- visor or enumerator of census who shall re- ceive any bonus or other consideration of any | character with his duties in addition to his salary. or any one who shall attempt to pay | Memphis and in Washington. The would-be | any such sum, shall be deemed guilty of a mis- demeanor, and upon conviction shell be fined not exceeding -€5,000 and be imprisoned no exceeding two years, THE DISTRICT 1 CONGRESS. TO AMEND LAND TITLES. Mr. Ingalls today in the Senate introduced a bill amending the laws relating to land titles : bill is the in the District of Columbia. The same as the one introduced in tl Mr. Perry, and mentioned in THe TO HELP THE COMMERCIAL AGENTS, Mr. Faulkner in the Senate today introduced a bill to suspend the operation in certain cases of the statute of limitations in force in the District of Columbia. The bill has as its ob- ject the recovering of certain sums of money paid to the District of Columbia on account of licenses for carrying on in the District the business of commercial agents, The law under which such sums were collected has been declared null and void by the Su- preme Court, but at present the statute of lim- itation prevents the recovery of the money. The bill sets aside the statute as far as these cases are concerned. ‘MR. BEHNEND'S CURE FOR INTEMPERANCE. The House committee on the District today received a letter from Mr. B. J. Behrend, which had been referred to them by the Com- missioners, in regard to the liqnor business in this city. Mr. Bebrend suggests that instead of charging an excessive license a regulation be passed doing away with all screens, painted and and other means of privacy used by saloons, his theory being that if drinking must be done practically in public, intemperance will to a large meusure cease. THE COLUMBIA HARMONY CEMETERY. John F, Cook, the president, and John H. Brooks, the secretary of the Columbian Har- mony Cemetery, have written the Senate pro- testing against the Senate bill providing for a meeting of the lot owners and incorporation of the cemetery as a company. If the bill is to be considered they ask to be heard. Anopinion rendered by Judge Cox is forwarded with the petition. Pe UEARING THE FLOUR AND FEED DEALERS. About fifteen dealers in flour and feed seated themselves around the long table in the room of the Senate District committee yesterday afternoon and told Senator Faulkner what they thought of the bill which provides for the com- pulsory inspection of their products. ‘They were opposed to the compulsory feature of the measure. They represented in the first place the difliculty which would attend inspection under the present conditions, A dealer might have a car load of hay in the northeastern part of the city awaiting inspection, He might want to unload at once, but could not because the inspector might be busy in Georgetown. The inspector might be ready next day and by that time the car to be inspected would prob- ably be a mile or two away on another siding. it would take from ten to fifteen inspectors to do the work. Inspection, they argued, was only possible where there was a public house to which these products could be brought and from which they would be sold. The bill has been referred to the District Commissioners and they will give hearings on it to the parties interested. The Commis- sioners have considered the House bill (which is precisely the same as the Senate bill) and reported favorably thereon, but they did not hear both sides of the question, THE MAIL ON SUNDAY, Shall the Carriers’ Window be Open Morning or Evening? A petition was recently sent to the city pust- master, signed by a number of leading busi- hess men, asking that the hours of delivery at the post office windows on Sunday be changed from 5 to 7 p.m. to 9:30 to 11 a. m. The reasons given for the asked for change are that the latter hours would be quite as convenient, if not really more so, for the public generally as the hours now in force, and that they would give a larger part of the day free to the clerks and carriers who have to be at the oflice long enough to distribute and deliver the mail matter. In conversation with a Sran reporter today Postmaster Ross said: “I was calied upon to meet the same question about two years ago. It was formerly the custom to keep the windows open on Sunday from 9 to 10 am. and from 6 to 7 pm. A similar petition was sent in then asking for the sake of our em- ployes that the morning delivery should be dis- pensed with. Through the columns of Tue Sran I announced thatI would be willing to make the change, but asked for any objections that might be made by people who thought they would be inconvenienced by it. There was no general expression of dissatisfaction and the hours were I am willing to change if the people of the cit; want it, The petition I have had hardly sufficient to gauge lic sentiment by and I to have a more general expressi: If the of Wi in the matter. le day afternoon I am Perfectly willing to do the best I can to accommoda' patient weve has appeared at Sharon Hill, Jacob Inst week.

Young Lady Shot From Ambush in Arkansas, onan A STRIKE IN CHICAGO SOON ENDED. —_—_e—___ LOUISIANA’S LOTTERY CONTEST. A Formidable Compact in Opposition to the Company. New Orceays, La., May 20.—Owing to the derailment of a trainon the Valley roada Majority of the members of the legislature were so delayed that no meeting of the general assembly was held yesterday. Had there been it was the intention of the anti-lotiery party to introduce a resolution to appoint a cc tee to examine the books of the lottery and thus afford a test vote. It is said that thirty-eight members of the house have signed an iron- clad compact to oppose the lottery. ‘This is considerably more than one-third o! house—enough to prevent favorable action for the present at least. The ker of the house, Mr. Henry, and President pro tem. Foster of the Senate, are openly opposed to the lottery renewal. The principal managers of the lottery interest took the train last night for Baton Rouge to renew their efforts to pass the bill. a SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
