Conference on the Disagreement. peti AFTER THE FISH COMMISSION Proposed Investigation by the Senate of Its Management. SENATOR PUGH ON THE TARIFF. Ajmong the memorials and other papers pre- sented and referred today were resolutions from the Louisiana legislature extending thanks to Congress and the President for the relief afforded to the sufferers from the recent Mississippi floods. DISAGREEMENT ON THE DEPENDENT PENSION BILL, Mr. Davis, from the conference committee on the dependent pension bill, reported that the committee had been unable to agree, Mr. Edmunds inquired (in order to understand the form of domg business between the two houses) which house had asked for the confer- ence. The presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls, the conference was asked by the Senate. Edmunds—Then I submit that this re- port should be made first to the House of Rep- Tesentatives The presiding officer—The Senator from Vermont is correct. That is the parliamentary proceeding. ‘The report will be withdrawn un- Ul action is taken elsewhere, The report was withdrawn, THE PURE FOOD BILL. The Senate bill for preventing the adultera- tion of food and drugs was reported and placed on the calendar. MANAGEMENT OF THE FI6H COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE. The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Ed- munds for an investigation by the committee on fisherivs into the management of the fish commissioner's office was taken up. MR, PLUMB OPPOSED THE RESOLUTION as a most extraordinary proposition, The Secretary of War had been arraigned yesterday on the floor of the Senate asa saloon keeper, and under the theory of the resolution the Senate might be called upon to investigate whether he was one or not. The news- papers were filled every day with abuse or misre presentatious of government officials. and resolutions might be offered for the purpose of vindicating those officials—whitewashing them. He had not seen the newspaper statements alluded to, He did not know what the charge was or how vile it was. But he could not con- ccive of amore dangerous precedent than the resolution would set. MR. EDMUNDS REPLIES TO MR. PLUMB. Mr. Edmunds replied to Mr. Plumb. He did not believe that the committee on fisheries would whitewash any one. He had known of an investigation which had been asked for by the official inculpated aud which had not white- washed him; and be had more respect for com- mittees of the Senate than to imagine that they would white- wash any one. The fish commission was not under the control of any other great department of the government (as he thought it ought to be) and there was no direct author- ity anywhere, except in the houses of Congress, to make official inquiry into its management. There had recently appeared in a respectable mewspaper @ report (not a vague ac- cusation) of nepotism and misconduct, with definite specifications and the name o} pecioas pits hat tase appointed and displace in the office of the fish commissioner in order to get up A FAMILY “RING” to the great detriment of the government. He had heard enough about the matter to be- lieve that the story was partly true and partly untrue, and he, as one Senator, wished to know the whole truth about it. Mr. Jones (Ark,) said that a few days ago there had appeared in a New York paper a list of persons appointed by Mr. McDonald since he had been in the ofiice of fish commissioner showing the relations between him and them, | the salaries paid to them and the aggregate amount paid to relatives and kins folk. If the statement was true then at = was — absolutely necessary that Mr. McDonald should be removed from his osition; if it wasn’t true it was but fair and just tohim, as well as to the public and to members of Congress, that the untruth should be ascertained. “He heartily agreed with Mr. Edmunds that it was proper for a committee of the Senate to inquire into the matter. THE RESOLUTION GOES OVER, At the suggestion of Mr. Paddock the reso- lution went over till tomorrow evening.

Supreme Court Decision Not in Conflict With a Previous One. The report extensively circulated that a law- yer had unearthed a decision made by ,the United States Supreme Court a few years ago in which the court took exactly opposite grounds to that held by it in the recent Iowa original package decision turns out to be incor- rect, There isa very obvious distinction be- tween these two cases. The case decided sev- eral yoars ago arose out of taxation by a state officer of a cargo of coal brought into Lous iana by aship. But before the coal was taxed a part of it hud been sold, so that, as wili be seen, it was no longer an “ori 7 In the Iowa case the court distinctly and ex- plicitly stated that its decision applied only to cases where the liquor still remained un- touched in the unbroken package in which it been imported ito the state.

Bell, chief of the secret service division of the Treasury, the rather interesting intelligence | that he had come to the conclusion that he and the rest of the Treasury Department could man- age to continue to do business at the old stand without his—Mr, Bell’s—services, In short, he | told the chief in an officially polite way that he had been “selected for separation from the serv- ice of the government.” Mr. Bell was not sur- prised or shocked. In fact, he had been an- tictpating something of the sort for many months, ON THE RAGGED EDGE POR MORE THAN A YEAR It was over a year ago that Secretary Win- j dom called him into his office and kind! iy told him that he would not be at all adverse to re- ceiving his resignation, and from that time on Mr. Bell had a very distinct understanding that | the Secretary would like to have somebody else atthe head of the Treasury detective force. There was no misunderstanding, no unpleas- autness,no trouble about the matter at all. But Mr. Bell didn't resign. He kept on as chief of the division from month to month, just as though nothing had happened aud would | Rive uo indication of what he intended to do, By this means he managed to | avoid his separation from « pleasant berth for fully x year, during which period he drew his pay and performed his duties with untroubled conscience, But all the while the sword was trembling over his head and tne rats of outside political influence were constantly gnawing away its supporting thread, all of which Mr. Bell knew quite well, THE KNIFE FALLS AT Last. Yesterday afternoon the cord snapped and the knife fell, cutting off Mr. Bell's official head with neatness and dispatch, but never turning a hair of his head. He took it calmly and without any show of emotion, as he felt thet he had been unduly lucky in retaining | possession of his position #0 long, He did however, expect that he would be granted a leave of absence, but in view of the fact that he had been aiready practically given a year's ee the Secretary thought it not unfair to jet the dismixsal come unattended by any favors, ACTING CHIEF. This morning Chief Clerk John Cowie was designated to act as chief of the secret service | division and he will probably be left in that ‘ition for some time, as the Secretary has ven unable as yet to make a selection between the various candidates whose applications for the place have been on file in the department for months past. 4 LIST OF CANDIDATES. These candidates are Cap:. Edwin A. Abbott, an agent of the service, Cleveland, Ohio; ‘Tuos. Furlong, St. Louis; P. D. Tyrrell, late of the service, Kansas; A. L. Drummond, New York F. E. Duhe Baltimore; B. Pinkney We: Maryland; Frank Erskin, Missouri; Henry Burnett, New Jersey; Jacob Swivel, New York; Henry B. Jones, Indiana. A number of others have also been named in connection with the position. including ex- Police Commissioner French of New York. It is thought that Abbott, Drummond and Fur- long are THE MOST LIKELY CANDIDATES, Abbott is now in the service and is regarded an efficient man, Furlong has influential friends, including, it js said, Russell Harrison. There are some people who believe that the retary would not make any mistake if he ould select Mr. Cowie for the place. He has been connected with the service as chief clerk of the division for upward of sixteen years, and has acted as chief a great many times at long | Periods togethe: fis duties have made him intimately acquainted with every detail of the work of the service, and he has a thorough knowledge of the theories and ways and means | of the art of first discovering crime and then catching its perpetrators. He has filed no application, EX-CHIEF JOHN BROOKS. It is not probable thatex-chief of the service John Brooks will make an effort to be ap- | pointed, although everybody connected with | the department recognizes his eminent fit H and ability. He is at present employed in the | special agent's service, aud is investigating the opium frauds at the Pacific ports. Mr, Bell succeeded Mr. Grooks in « very sum- | mary way about two anda half years ago, but | Brooks’ resignation had been in the hands of the Secretary of the Treasury since the change of administration, | It is not expected that an appointment will be made for some time. ELECTION CONTEST DECISIONS. A Singular Situation in South Carolina— The Breckinridge Case. The House elections committee have just completed the report in the Miller-Flliott con- tested election case of South Carolina. In the first branch of their report they reach a decis- ion which, if followed to its logical conclusion, might unseat all the Representatives from the state of South Carolina, They take up the | question of the constitutionality of the South Carolina election laws and decide that they are in violation of the constitution of the state. But without drawing any conclusion from this they take up the question of whether or not Elliott was elected under these laws and decide that he was not. They do not hold that by | reason of the unconstitutionality of the elec- tion laws no election was held, but conclude that Miller, the republican contestant, is en- titled to the seat. THE ARKANSAS CASE. In the case of the second Arkansas district the committee have decided not to subpena the witnesses from a distance Mr. Breckinridge wanted examined, but will hear the testimony of three witnesses in this city. The testimony in this case is now in the hands of the printer, and there is no doubt that they will report in favor of the unseating | of Mr. Breckinridge. But as the contestant in this case is dead a new election must be held if Breckinridge is turned out. aud his friends have no doubt of his being returned. LETTERS THAT BOTHERED VOTERS, The majority report in the case of Miller agt. Elliot from the seventh South Carolina dis- trict recites the fact that in certain precincts what amounted to anu educational test (and therefore an illegal test) was imposed by letter- ing the ballot boxes, which were separate in the case of each office, and that voters were de- ceived by an intentional shifting of the boxes, #0 that judges of election were able to throw out all ballots cast in the boxes. ‘There was also, says the report, evidence of ballot box stuffing. Summing up it is found that that, taking the position most favorable to the sitting member, the contestant Miller hada majority of 757; while if the law is a followed, his majority will reach 1,448.
