Samuel C. Lemly, lately detached from the U. 8.8.

The ship, he added, visited many ports that are not usually touched at by our war vesscls in their cruises, For instance, it went all the way up the Nevariver to St. Petersburg instead of stop- ping at Cronstadt, about 25 miles down the stream, a fest that has never before been ac- complished by a foreign man-of-war.

Mr. Blair, at the request of the Wage Workers’ Alliance of Washington, D.C., in- troduced a bill depriving any state which de- nies bs es protection to all within its jurisdic- tion of one-half of its representation in the House of Representives. Referred. MR. STEWART ON THE SILVER BILL, Mr. Wilson (Iowa) made an effort to have the bill relating to liquors imported into probibi- tory states taken up and considered, but he was forced to yield to the prior claim of the silver bill, which was then taken up, and on which Mr. Stewart proceeded to address the Senate. Mr. Stewart argued that there would be no reference between gold and silver if the Jnited States did as France did, and establish the ratio of 16 to1, By that the parity would be maintained. HOUSE. Mr. O'Neill (Pa.) presented a memorial of the Manufacturers’ Club of Pennsylvania urging the passage of the McKinley tariff bill and ask- ing that it take effect asa law not later than thirty days after its approval, Referred and ordered printed in the Record. CLOSING SCENES IN THE TARIFF CONTEST. The House went into committee of the whole (Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio in the chair) ou the tariff bill, Mr. Baker (N.Y.) offered an amendment pro- viding that all articles on importation into the United States, whether embraced in the free list or otherwise, shall be subject to and pay no less rate of duty than is or may be imposed by the country of export on like articles ex- ported into the United States, This amend- ment, he said, was in the interest of good gov- ernment. Mr. Anderson (Kan.) opposed the amend- ment on the ground that it would place it in the power of the Canadian government to reg- ulate the tariff of the United States, Mr. Butterworth (Ohio) opposed the amend- ment. It would wreck the interchange of com- modities between the United States and every other country and would work a great hard- ship upon the people. [Further reference to the remarks of Mr. Butterworth will be found in the article elsewhere headed “Uproar in the House.”} Mr. Brewer (Mich. ) said that the time for de- bate had been frittered away by the other side, He was in favor of the bill, because it was car- ring out the pledges made to the American people. [Applause.j Mr. Wheeler (Ala.) appealed to the House in these closing moments to adopt the amend- ment proposed by him to gradually reducs duties which are in excess of 50 per cent, Speak- ing of the duty on bops, he said it increased the price of beer and that auch unjust legisla- tion gould be rebuked by the people. [Ap- plause. Mr. Farquhar (N.Y.) protested upon the amount of protection given to barley. Mr. Bliss (Mich.) characterized the bill as the best measure which had ever been pre- sented to Congress, BEDLAM IN THE HOUSE, During this brief discussion the House was in aturmoil, The demands of the chair for order were unheeded, the rules of the com- mittee were disregarded and each speaker, as he arose, was greeted with calls of “louder” and with laughter. The chairman used his best endeavor to secure quiet, but he was absolutely unable to quell the uproar. In the midst of the confu- sion the hour of noon arrived and (in accord- ance with the special rule adopted and without a vote being reached on Mr. Baker's amend- ment) the committee rose and reported the bill to the House, THE PREVIOUS QUESTION ORDERED—YEAS 16], Nays 143, Mr. McKinley demanded the previous ques- tion on the bills and amendments, ‘The democrats demanded the yeas and nays and the previous question was ordered—yeas 161, nays 143. Mr. Coleman (La.) and Feath- erstone (Ark.) voted with the democrats, and Mr. Adams (Ill.) and Mr. Butterworth declined to vote. The following pairs were announced: Messrs, Peters and Hooker, Connell and Walker (Mo.), Grant and Bankhead, Reed (Iowa) and Stock. dale, Turner (Kan.) and Norton, Payson and Lawler. VOTING ON THE AMENDMENTS. The House then proceeded to vote on the amendments adopted in committee of the whole. A CLOSE VOTE ON TIN PLATE. The committee amendment increasing the duty on tin plate was adopted by a scant ma- jority of one, the vote standing—yeas, 150; nays, 149 (Messrs, Anderson (Kan.), Butter- worth, Henderson (lowa), Mason (Ill), Mc- Comas. Mudd and Taylor (IIL. ), all republicans, voted with the democrats in opposition to the amendment. A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY, A committee amendment to restore jute yarns from 30 per cent (as in the bill) to 35 per cent — the present rate—was rejected— Yeas 143, nays 144. The —_republi- cans voting with the democrats against the amendment were Messrs, Anderson, (Kan.), Featherstone, org iD Lind, Taylor (Iowa), De Haven, Gulick, Henderson (Iowa), Lacey, Snider, Kerr, Dunnell. ‘The effect is to reduce the duty 5 per cent by taking advantage of « misprint in the bill, and is the first demo- cratic victory so far. By a vote of yeas 143; nays, 38, the House agreed to the amendment which embraces Rus- sian camel's hair in class 3 of the woolen schedule. ANOTHER REJECTED AMENDMENT. The amendment providing that the duty on woolen and worsted yarns valued at not more than 30 cents per pound shall be two and a half times the duty imposed on a pound of un- washed wool of the first class and 35 per cent ad valorem was rejected—yeas, 187; nays, 148. The bill now places the duty at twice the duty and 35 per cent ad valorem. tit looked when Tur Star's report closed as though the final vote on the tariff bill would not be had until 4 or 5 o'clock.) sees atelnscaniasce A It Was Loaded for Tariff.

Closing Scenes of the Tariff Struggle— Mr. Butterworth’s Protest. The business of the House was begun this Torning amid great excitement. Up to the time for taking the vote on the engrossment and third reading of the McKinley bill the whole House was in an uproar. The most feel- ing was manifested by republicans, who are dissatisfied with the bill. and who have been kept quiet heretofore by the hope that they might get consideration for amendments they desired to offer which would put them straight with their constituents. Being cut off by the expiration of the time limit, with their amendments still unconsidered, there was much phage J and loud expressions of in- dignation. But in the midst of the confusion the hour of noon arrived. Mr. McKinley waved his hand, palm down, and quiet settled upon the House, ‘MR. BUTTERWOBEH SCORES THE COMMITTEE. Mr. Butterworth, among the many protesters, was one who made himself heard and he scored the committee vigorously. He complained that the opportunity to amend had been cut off by the committee and that there had been no effort to get the consensus of opinion of the party, but that the committee had forced their bill through and tried to bind the _politi- cal consciences of members, He said he did not believe that there had been any divine de- cree nor yet any command of the republican party by which the ark of the political covenant wai committed toafew gentlemen. He, for his own part, wanted to do one of two things, either vote according to his own convictions, or so as to agree with what should be the consensus of opinion on the republicun side of the House. There had been no chance todetermine what the consensus of opinion was. He said that if this were the end many votes might be recorded differently from what they would be today, DISSATISFIED REPUBLICANS ATE. It is said by republicans that enough repub- lican votes would have been recorded against the bill to defeat it but Tor the fact that they had absolute assurances that the bill will be torn to pieces and revised by the Senate, most of the features to which republicans object be- ing eradicated. It is well understood that the Senate finance committee will report a very different measure. THE LOOKING TO THE DYNAMITE CRUISER. Chief Engincer Melville Recommends Her Acceptance—The Penalties. Chief Engineer Melville has reported to Secretary Tracy the results of the recent trials of the machinery of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius and recommends the acceptance of that vessel. His recommendation will be fol- lowed without any doubt, as it has been demonstrated that all of the contract require- ments have been complied with. Buta far more serious question arises as to whether or not the contractors, the Pneumatic Dynamite Gun Company, shall receive the full amount of the contract money that has been withheld pending final acceptance, nearly $30,000 in all. The vessel was not finished in time, and for some months penalties accrued for non-completion amounting to about 250,000. ‘These kept on accumulating through- out her earlier tests, but were stopped by order of Secretary Tracy when the ship was put through her armament tests in October last, The delays in submitting to the subsequent trials have all been due to the slowness of the contractors, and the government will probably hold that so far from remitting any penalties it should really insist upon full payment from the time of the expiration of the contract to the date of the acceptance. But this will not be done, as the Secretary's order stands in the way. The contractors will be paid the $80,000 due them over and above the corrected penalties, and they will have to knock at the doors of Congress for reimburse- ment. They are quite likely to obtain the pas- sage of a bill for relief, on the ground of the nov- elty of the construction of the vessel that they built, aided by a large amount of influence in & political way that they are supposed to be able to exert in certain directions, The Cramy of Philadelphia are the subcontractors in the case, and, although not recognized by the department, are still very active in their endeavors to have the penalties remitted. NEW CHIEF OF BUREAU, Commodore Stewart Succeeds Pay Di- rector Looker—Status of the Latter. Commodore Stewart, the new paymaster general of the navy. received his commission yesterday as chief of the bureau of provisions and clothing, and assumed his new duties. The resignation of Pay Director Looker took effect upon the qualification of his successor, and he has been granted a year’s leave of absence for the benefit of his health,upon the recommendation of the medical board, which recently examined him, with a view of discovering whether or not he should be retired. The board did not come to the conclusion that he ought to go off the active list on account of disability, and on this point they disagreed with Mr. Looker himself. He was very anxious to be retired with the rank of commodore, but his haste in resigning before taking the neces- sary steps or retirement frustrated that plan. His health is much improved since his re- sponsibility as chief of the bureau ceased and he expects to be in good health again before long. IMPORTANT NAVAL CHANGES. Commodore McCann Detached—He May Command the European Squadron. Commodore William P. McCann has been de- tached from the command of the Boston navy yard and placed on waiting orders. This is simply because of the expiration of his regular tour of duty, and he will probably be given some sea service before long. It is thought likely’ that he will be placed in com- mand of the European station, which is at present without an admiral and without ships. The U.S.S. Enterprise, which so lately figured rather conspicuously in the newspapers, will soon be repaired, and, it is ex- pected, will then sail for Stockolm with the body of the late John Ericsson, the inventor of the moniter. She will then resume her place in the European squadron. A COMPLICATION AT BosTox. Capt. Thos. O.

The first civil service examination of the po- lice department will take place tomorrow. Where the examination will be held has not Yet been determined. but it will probably be in the rooms of the civil service commission. There are already more than thirty appli- cante for the sergoantships made vacant by the | recent dismissals. As the promotions must be | made from the next snoceeding class, only offi- cers of the second class are eligible. The questions have been printed and the ex- amination will be a written one. It is the in- tention of the department to ask only such questions as pertain to the duties of a sergeant. It is thought that this examination is oniy the starting point for examination of all applicants for positions on the force. But before such « rule is adopted the army and navy clause will have to be stricken out. ——— FAST DRIVING; SLOW SWEEPING, What Mr. Douglass Says of Repre- sentative Thompson’s Kesolution. Speaking of the resolution of Congressman Thompson, calling upon the Cormissioners for information about fast driving in the streets of the city and the cleanliness of the strects, Commissioner Douglass said to a Stax reporter today: “I saw the Thompson resolution of yester- day in Congress and am pleased with it. The sooner we kuow what the streets need to make them cleaner the better. Of course the first answer is more sweeping and, as « consequence more money to do it with. My own opinion is that the asphalt streets will demand a large annual expense, much larger than we have ever anticipated, to keep them clean; they are 80 smooth and readily soiled. We seldom if | ever hear complaints about the belgian block avements, although 7th street its whole length is paved with the blocks. The block pavement does not show the dirt like the other and the rough surface prevents the easy move- ment of the dirt by the wind. But whatever the reason is it ought to be known and cor- rected, and the quicker the better.” “But how about that portion of the resolu- tion relative to fast driving?” asked the re- porter. “As to fast driving I think the prominent reason will be found to be in the discourage- ment that the police say they experience by light or remitted sentences by the courts, We shall answer the resolution as fuily as possible and with pleasure, hoping that good results may follow.” “You remember,” continued Mr. Douglass, “that within two years Prof, Paul while riding a bicycle was killed by a fast driver or rider. The driver, it was said, had been warned before about this dan- gerous practice. He was convicted and sentenced, if I remember right, to thirty days in the District jail anda fine of #200. Tue Stan denounced the sentence at the time. He should have had tive or ten years in the peni- tentiary. Here was an opportunity to do something for the lives and safety of our people, Within a week another driver arrested for dangerous driving through tne heart of the city was allowed to forfeit $10 aud go free. He should have gone to the work house for ninety days, and accomplished his penauce inside of a striped suit.” WHAT POLICEMEN say. Police officials deny that the duty of looking after fast drivers is grossly neglected, and refer to the records of the Police Court to sub- Stantiate the denial. There are policemen, they say, detailed at several of the most dan- — crossings, and arrests for fast and reck- less driving are often made. The police claim that a great deal of the fast driving is done at the iustauce of Congressmen who get in pub- lic vehicles. Most of them are known to the drivers of sueh vehicles and the drivers are foolish are SEs think that they will be pro- tected. It not been more than a week since a driver was arrested on his way to the depot. When the policeman stopped him he said: “Senator McPherson is in the cab and he’s in a hurry to get to the depot.” The ex- cuse was not a good one and the driver, after spending a whole day ina police cell, paid $6 for violating the law. tase SSRN Marriage Licenses.

In the suit of Westel Willoughby against Brooke Mackall for 20,000 fees for professional services the defendant today, by J. J. Johnson, filed his answer and pleas. He states that he did not undertake or promise im manner and form as alleged; that the cause of action did not occur within three years. He states that April 10, 1883, the defendant entered into an agreement in writing that he was to conduct these suits in equity toa final adjudication for a sum equal to 50 per cent of the amount recovered, in addition to what he had already received; that the case against Richards was lost; that while canse 8033 was pending in the Supreme Court of the United States on Saturday, December 7, 1839, he informed defendant by letter that his case would be called on Monday (9th) and enclosed a paper for him to execute by 11 o'clock, and in case of failure he would not go on with the case. ‘This paper was a deed to convey him 15.100 of his interest in certain real estate, to pay 15 pea cent of the civil case against Kichards in suit 29,286 and 25 per cent in acase against Kich-| ards in the Supreme Courtof the United States, No alternative was left defendant under | the plaintiff's absolute refusal but to} file a motion in the Supreme Court to give him time to employ other counsel, and this leave being given he was at great expense compelled to onpley aiber counsel, and he claims that the plaintiff thereby waived, annulled and abandoned the original contract.
