The Senate Discussing Mr. Plumb’s Amendment, Agreeing to the Conference Re- port on the Post Office Site, ee BILLS PASSED BY BOTH HOUSES, — SENATE, Among the petitions presented and referred was one from the New Orleans Chamber of Commerce asking for an appropriation of £500,000 for the establishment of a steamship line between New Orleans and the west coast of Africa, Alsc one from the Sugar of Milk Company of New Jersey for the retention of the duty on that article in the McKinley bill, THE HOUSE SILVER BILL, On motion of Mr. Morrill the House silver bill was referred to the fance committee, THE SALE OF LIQUOR ON EXPOSITION GROUNDS. Mr. Blair introduced (by request) a bill to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors on the grounds of expositions for which appropri- ations are expended by the United States. Referred to the committee on education and labor. BILLS PASSED. Among the bills taken up from the calendar and passed were the following: House bill for the relief of Humbert Bros. (directing the redemption of two 5,000 ten- forty bonds, stolen from them in 1873), Senate bill granting to the Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska Railway Company power to sell and convey to the Chicago, Rock Island aud Pacific Railway Company all the railway, prop- erty, rights and franchises of the Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska Railway Company in the oa of Oklahoma and in the indian terri- ry. TO LIMIT DEBATE. The Senatg silver bill was then taken up and Wnanimous donsent was given (at the request of Mr. Jones of Nevada) that after 3 o'clock on Friday next debate shall be limited to fve minutes by any Senator on any question, AMENDING ME. PLUMB’S AMENDMENT. The question was on Mr. Plumb’s amend- ment that no funds available for the payment of the public debt, including such as are kept for the redemption of United States notes, shall be retained in the Treasury in excess of 110,000,000. On motion of Mr. Harris thisamendment was amended by adding to it the words “provided that the gold and silver coin and gold bullion in the Treasury on which gold and silver cer- tificates have been issued shall not be con- sidered available for any purpose except the redemption of such certificates.” MR. SHERMAN OPPOSES. Mr. Sherman expressed his opposition to Mr. Plumb’s amendment, as the effect of it would be really to leave only a working balance of ten mitiions in the Treasury. Besides, he thought that the silver question was important enough to be considered by itself, without lug- ging in other complications’ ss to. bal ances in the ‘Treasury and such mat- ters, He regarded, the amendment as very faulty; first, because it disturbed funds pledged by ‘public faith, aud, second, because it would require the Secretary of the Treasury ea *| to carry on the operations of the government Treasury Orrictats To THe Rescug.—As- sistant Secretary Tichenor, Solicitor Hepburn and Capt. McGregor of the Treasury Depart- ment returned to Washington yesterday after- noon on the revenue cutter Cfawford from a visit to wport News on icial business, During the trip the vessel resenéd fourstudents of Johns Hopkins University who were adrift im Chesapeake bay in a small sailing vessel which had been disabled in a storm, Ex-Cutsr Brooks 1s Cuanae.—James J.

It is understood that the position will not be permanently filled before July 1.

The House further insisted on its disagreement to the Senate amendment (which appropriates $125,000—the original House bili appropriating $50,000) and another conference was ordered.

The Minnesota editors, whose arrival a reception last evening is mentioned eise- where, have been busy today, - As soon as they had taken their first Washington breakfast they were piloted to the White House by members of the Minne- sota congressional delegation and introduced to the President by Senator Washburn. After a survey of the Executive Mansion they were taken through the State, War and Navy build- ing and presented to Secfetary Blaine. Then they journeyed cross lots to the Treasury building after being presented to Sec- retary Windom, who was a Representa- tive in Congress from Minnesota in the ante-bellum days, and is the only citizen of that state honored with a cabinet portfolio. They were conducted by several guides through the long cor- ridors and shown the various visions ofthe Treasury. The vaults containing the government bonds, held for bank securities, the presses each grinding ont four five-dollar bills at every impre@ion, the room in which the cancelled bills are destroyed, and above all the silver vault with $91,910,000 of cart wheels attracted their attention. The silver is in boxes each inclosing two sacks containing $1,000 each, and the gnide cautioned them that each box weighed 120 pounds, fi From the Treasury they rode ‘to the Ebbitt for lunch and this afternoon viewed the mys- teries of the Patent Office, General Post Office, Pension Bureau and Government Printing Office, being everywhere given cordial recep- tion by the servants of Uncle Sam, This evening from 9 to 11 o'clock will be received by Secretary and Mrs. Wi and Senator and Mrs. Davis at their homes, 1422 and 1428 Massachusetts avenue.

A GIANT AMONG THE CRUISERS ON THE LIST—THE THREE VESSELS FOR WHICH CONTRACTS WILL BE MADE—THE BUSY SCENE AT THE DEPARTMENT Topay, Bids for over five million dollars worth of Rew naval vessels were opened at the Navy Department today at noon, The vessels bid for were of three distinct types, and there was considerable excitement about the contest be- tween the rival ship builders engaged in the war of competition. THE BIGGEST YET. The largest of the three vessels—in fact the largest vessel ever designed for the United States navy—is known officially as the armored cruiser No, 2 (the Maine being No. 1) and popularly as the 8,100-ton vessel. She belongs to the class of swift cruisers and is very close to the battle ship in that she is provided with a moderately heavy armor belt, besides a pro- tective deck. The armor will be about four inches thick and the curved protective deck six inches thick, She will be armed with six 3-inch and Stwelve 4-inch breech-loading rifles, is to develop 16,000 indicated horse power and a speed of 20 knots. Her dimensions are: Length, 380 feet; ex- treme breadth, 64 feet 2\y inches; depth in hold, 41 feet 3 inches, ANOTHER LARGE ONE. The other large vessel is designated “Cruiser No. 6,” and is to have a displacement of 5,500 tons. She has no armor, but is provided with a protective deck 4%4 ches thick. Her main batteries consist of two 8-inch and ten 4-inch breech-loading rifles. She is to make 20 knots an hour with 13,500 horse power. This vessel is to be of about the same type as the Balti- more, Philadelphia, Newark and San Fran- cisco, except that her tonnage is over a thou- sand greater than any of them. Her dimen- sions are: Length, 330 feet; extreme breadth, 53 feet; depth, 33 feet. A PRACTICE CRUISER. The third vessel is the practice cruiser of 800 tons, a miniature man-of-war, for the training of the cadets at the Naval Academy. It is gen- erally expected that the builder who is awarded the contract for this vessel will lose money, as there is just as much ma- terial to go in her as in some of the larger cruisers. The appropriation limits for the three vessels are as follows: Armored cruiser, 33,500,000; protected cruiser, #1,800,000; practice ship, $260,000. THE SCENE TODAY. The Secretary's office was crowded at noon, when the time came for opening the bids, with naval officers, departmental people and ship builders. The talk was very nautica’ and somewhat financial, but was suddenly inter- rupted at about twenty minutes after 12 by the arrivai of the messenger from the city post office with a certificate that he bore all mail addressed to the Navy Depart- ment upto noon. Then, amid a suppressed hum of excitement, the opening of the bids began in the presence of Chief Engineer Mel- ville, Chict Constructor Wilson, Judge Advo- cate General Remey, Chief Clerk Hogg and Lieut. Stayton. THE BIDS AND THE BIDDERS. The bids were as follows: For the 8,100-ton ship, the Union Iron Works of San Francisco, #3,100,000 on the plans of the department or $3,000,000 on the bidders’ plans; the Wm. Cramps & Sons’ Ship Building Com- any of Philadelphia, — $3,150,000 on epartment’s plans, 2.985.000 on the bidders’ plans; the Risdon Iron and Loco- motive Works of San Francisco, #3,450.000 on the department's plans, But one bidder put in an estimate on the 5,500-ton vegsel, the Union Iron Works of San Francisco, whose bid was $1,796,000 on the plans of the department, or $1,760,000 on their own plans, |. For =o ‘ectice vessel two bids were re- evived: -F. W. Wheeler & Co. of West Bay City, Mich., 245.000; the Samuel L. Moore and Sons Co, of parcige wie N.J., $250,000, No awards were made today. “THE SECRETARY'S BABY.” It is understood that Secretary Tracy has a peculiar fondness for the plans which have been drawn by the department for the armored cruiser which is often called the “Secretary's baby,” and the feeling is that the award will be made on the department's desi In this event the Scotts (the Cnion iron works) will undoubtedly get the ship. If, however, the lower bids on the bidder's plans class should prove an attraction to the Secre- tary’s economical eye there will bea sharp strife, Scott submitted a huge bundle of lans and drawings, explanatory signs, while Cramp handed in a single small roll of blue prints. This particularity of design may bave great weight im the award of the contract. Great surprise is expressed that the Cramps did not enter into the com- petition for the 5,500-ton vessel. it being alleged that he was very sure of obtaining the other. The Union iron works built the cruiser Charleston and is now constructing the San Francisco and the Monterey. The Risdon Com- pany has never entered into naval construction circles before. PRIVATE WIRE FOR MR. BLAINE. The Commissioners Will Permit One Be- tween His Home and the White House, The Commissioners have received a letter from the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, through its president, Mr. Bryan, calling attention to the fact that the Secretary of State has applied to his company to furnish him with private telephone service between his house and the Executive Mansion; also between hbis~house and the State De- partment, the lines to be —inde- pendent of euch other. The lines, Mr. Bryan says, the Secretary explains, are to be used for confidential communications between his house and the two points named and are to be en- tirely separate from all other connectiona, Mr. Bryan says that under the existing law he knows of no way by which these lines can be run by the company unless they be considered as lines for the exclusive use of the general government. Under this construction he asks if the Commissioners will grant the requisite permission. The matter is an im- portant one in view of the recent law which prohibits the erection of overhead wires for any purpose, | The matter was accordingly submitted to the attorney for his report. In his reply today to the Commissioners he says: “I do not think that it was the intention of Congress by its legislation on this subject to prohibit the executive departments from the ployment of telephonic facilities which are absolutely necessary to the proper execution of governmental affairs. e permit in this case being requested by the Secretary of State as a government necessity and for its exclusive use and convenience I think that you have the power to grant the same.” This permit will probably be granted today. ——_—.——_ Marriage Licenses, ~ Marriage licenses have been issued by the clerk of the court to Charles H.
