Old Soldiers Who Want the Con- federate Flag Suppressed. SILVER SPEECHES IN THE SENATE. ——_—-__—_ SENATE, The House amendments to the bill to estab- lish the customs collection district of Puget sound were non-concurred in and a conference asked, THE ANTI-TRUST BILL. A message from the House asking further conference on the anti-trust bill was presented and the request was assented to—after re- marks by Senators Edmunds and Vest. MR. EDMUNDS EXPLAINS. Mr. Edmunds said that it had been stated, and seemed to have been believed in some quarters, that the Senate amendment to the House amendment to that bill had the effect to repeal or to modify a provision of the interstate commerce law prohibiting pooling. ‘That amendment, he said, had no such effect whatever. He thought it due to the House of Representatives and to the Senate to say that. Referring to some remarks made in the House, Mr. Edmunds said that he bad seen it stated in a pewspaper (that was the only way he could properly aliude to the matter) that the Senate amendment had been got through the Senate by the influence of railroads and corporations; that the Senate was subject to that sort of influence, and not much else could be expected from the Senate in that behalf, THE SENATE AND CORPORATIONS. He wished to recall to the attention of the Senate the fact that every piece of important legisiation in the last teu years or more that had affected great corporations had been, in the outset, the work of the Senate. The bill which had brought the Pacific railroads into some sort of obedience to the laws and to some sort of sense of their obligations to the United States had been the work of the Senate. ‘The interstate commerce bill was a Senate bill. It was, there- fore, entirely unjust for anybody to say any- where (and perhaps he dignified ita little tob much by alluding to it atall) that any act of the Senate or eny act of any Senator could be referred to at .y timejto justify what had been seen in the newspapers. AN ORGANIZED EFFORT. The only force which he had known to be exerted (and he had knowledge of it) had been 4 somewhut organized and persistent and pow- erful effort on the part of railroad and other corporations, through well known agents and influences (well known to him),to induce simple- minded people somewhere (of courae he was unable to say where) to defeat the Senate amendment, and to mislead those people in opposition to it by betraying them into the false notion that they were defending the people in defeating an amendment which the railroads did not want. A DEFICENCY PROVIDED FOR. The deficiency appropriation for pensions and the census was reported and passed, TO RETIRE GEN, BANKS. Mr. Dawes introduced a bill to retire Gen. Banks as major general of the United States army, and presented a petition of the members of the Massachusetts legislature in aid of it. Referred to the committee on military affairs. SLAVERY AND THE SLAVE TRADE. Mr. Blair introduced a joint resolution re- questing the President of the United States to institute an international conference to meet in Washington in February, 189i, with a view to the formation of an international alliance for the suppression of slavery and the slave trade, and of the traffic in intox- ating liquors, fire-arms and destructive sub- stances with uncivilized people, aud to provide for the establishment of schools of common knowledge, art and industry, also to secure the disarmament of nations and the establisment of international courts, and appropriating $100,000 for the expenses of the conference: The joint resolution was laid on the table. Mr. Blair anuouncing his intention to address the Senate hereafter on the subject. THE SILVER BILL. The House silver bill was taken up, and Mr. Daniel resumed the speech begun by him last Friday. Mr. Allison next addressed the Senate, NO VOTE TODAY. In the course of Mr. Allison's speech on the silver bill Mr. Teller stated that there were (to his knowledge) two and perhaps three more speeches to be made upon it, so that the final vote would not be reached today, HOUSE, Mr. Milliken (Me.) presented and the House adopted the conference report on the bill for a public building at Beaver Falls, Pa. (The limit of the cost is $50,000.) Also the conference report on a bill fora public building at Salina, Kan, (The limit of cost is 275,000. ) TO PROHIBIT CONFEDERATE FLAGS. Mr. Williams (Ohio) presented the petition of ex-soldiers of Dayton, Ohio, for the enact- ment of a law prohibiting the sale, use, manu- facture or importation of banners or flags rep- resenting the confederate flag or the red flag of the anarchist. Referred, THE SUNDRY CIVIL. BILL. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Burrows of Michigan in the chair) on the sundry civil appropriation bill, GEN, HOLABIRD RETIRED, The Quartermaster General’s Office for a Time in Charge of a Deputy. Brig. Gen. Samuel C. Holabird, quartermas- ter general of the army, was today placed on the retired list of the army, having reached the statutory age of sixty-four years. He is a native of Connecticut, and was appointed a cadet at the Military Academy from that state in 1845, graduating four years later as_a second lieutenant of the first infantry. In 1861 he was appointed a captain and sistant quartermaster. His war service con- isted in duty as aid-de-camp, in which line he rose to the rank of a colonel of volunteers, Tn 1866 he received an appointment as licuten- ant colonel and deputy _quarter- master general, rising from that rank to head of the bureau in 1883. His position is being sought after by several officers of the quartermaster’s department With great earnestness and vigor, a great deal of in- uence of various sorts having _ bee: brought to bear in their behalf. It is quite certain that the selection will not be a matter of seniority of rank unless the ranking officer should bappen to be, in the President's judgment, the best man. Secretary Proctor went over to the White House this morning and discussed the matter with the President. Lieut. Col. Chas. G.

Why? ‘The auswer is simple: Ice is up. Way up. At least some of those engaged in supplying Washington have put up their prices ard @her companies have given indications of heir in- tention to do so, A half a cent a pound seems more than enough for a staple of such shrinking proper- ties, Then how about a cent a pound? That's where the rub will come. For some of the local dealers have raised their retail price to that figure and others are expected to step into line in a few days, THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION. The reasons they give are that freight is high—from $1.60 to $1.75—and that the ice supply in Maine is very small and rapidly dis- appearing. Oh, that Maine supply! It is always so very large and promising in mid- winter, but it can never be found in the dog- days. “Ice is higher im proportion in Maine than here,” say the dealers, “and ice must go ‘Up Or we must go under,” A DROP IN NEW YORK. In New York, though, the story is different There the sudden influx of an immense amount of northern New York ice knocked the calcula- tions of the ice combine into a cocked hat and ice has taken a big drop, with u further reduction looked for. Week before last the wholesale companies demanded $10 and $12 per ton and got it, too. By Satur- day they were satisfied with $8, while splendid Maine ice, solid and 18 inches thick, was being soid by the shipping companies at $6 per ton at their hatchways, ‘THE AMERICAN COMPANY. In this city the American Ice Company bas issued a prettily printed notice that on and after Monday, June 16, the price of ice de- livered by that company will be, until further notice, 1 cent per pound for lots from 1 to 20 pounds; from 20 to 50 pounds, 80 cents per 100; from St pounds up, 70 cents per 100. ‘The reasons they give for this action are sub- stantially the high freight charges and the high prices in Maine. The National Capital Company has not yet raised their prices, but it is alinost certain they will in a few days, MAKE THEIR OWN ICE. The Hygienic Ice Company has no connection with Maine and makes its own ice as it is needed. The factory has a capacity of sixty tons a day and this will be increased to 120 tons within ten days. Unfortunately __ the company is now engaged in filling contracts with large consumers and has not entered the local retail field very heavily as yet. When the capacity for production is increased, however, they will probably attend to private families and small consumers, They have not raised their prices and say they will not have to and do not intend to. THE GREAT FALLS COMPANY. When a Sran reporter called at the office of the Great Falls Ice Company this morning he found the president, Mr. T. A. Lambert, and the superintendent. Mr. J. D. Bartlett, sitting together in the back office, “We have not raised the price of ice,” said Mr. Bartlett, in response to a question. the prices are just the same as they were last year, one-half cent a pound to small ‘co: There is no doubt that the price ought to be advanced and probably will be be- fore the end of the season. One reason why we ought to get more for our ice this year than last is that we pay twice as much for freight as we did last year. Owing to the general fail- ure of the ice crop throughout the country, except on the Maine coast, there 1s a greater demand for vessels and the result 1s that freight charges have gone up.” “This company,” observed Mr. Lambert, “is governed in its scale of prices by the demands of the market. This business is like any other in our opinion and the market price ought to prevail. “We have no favored customers,” added Mr. Bartlett. “We do not make contracts to fur- nish ice at a certain figure except to very large consumers. Other companies 1 this city have done so and now they come to us and say that the prices ought to be advanced. Yet we don’t want to discriminate, and while one man who has happened to make a contract gets his ice at a certain figure, his neighbor who bas made no contract is obliged to pay a higher price for the same quantit is not fair, If there is an ad- vance in prices it ought to be uniform, so that everybody would be served alike.” THE ICE SUPPLY. Mr. Bartlett showed the reporter an article in the June number of the Ice Trade Journal in which it was stated that there was a general belief that there would be a great scarcity of ice all over the country before the end of August. The article notes that the feature of the market this year is the resort to Maine for early supphes. “This feature of the market,” the article states, ‘is faithfully and unmistak- ably reflected by the large direct shipments from the water this spring. The carefully pre- pared table which we published in our last issue shows the shipments from Maine to have been 263,000 tons against only 70,000 tons last ear—an increase of 193,000 tons, or 166 per cent, Host of this ice, it must be noted, was bought under extreme pressure and at the speculative prices then ruling. Our correspondence also abundantly shows that the dealers in the west were even worse off in this ch: 4d than those of the Atlantic states, inasmuch as they were compelled to bring in their needed supplies by rail at oppressive rates of freight and from five to eight Eundrea miles away from their usual bases of supply. As tothe general result of the harvest, we think that the shortage this year will reach 30 per cent as compared with the average crop tor the last five years. ‘This estimate would make the entire available sup- ply throughout the country about 18,000,000 instead of 25,000,000 tons,”” THE INDEPENDENT ICE COMPANY, “There is plenty of ice,” said Mr. C. B Church, the president of the Independent Ice Company, this morning to a Sram reporter, “but the difficulty is to get vessels to transport itfrom Maine. There issuch a demand for ice from the coast of Maine owing to the failure of the ice crop in other portions of the country that it is now a serious problem to get means of bringing our ice to the market. Ves- sels that were never before used tor this pur- pose are now being impressed into the serv- ice and still there are not enough to do the business. In all this section of the coun- try over which our wholesale trade extends we find it difficult to supply our customers. Nat- urally freights have Sdvanced and we have to pas more for ringing ice here then last year. This advance is now fifty per cent and we don’t know where the prices are going tostop. This is the uncer- tain factor that enters into our business this year aud we don’t know what to think of the future. Thus far we have endeavored to maintain last year's rates in this city, but inorder to continue to suppiy our customers we may be compelled to advance prices to meet the situation. We have already instructed our drivers to take no new trade except private families and we propose to con- tinue am “etiges our customers at as low rates ible.” Church said further that tho of the canal here and the consequent loss of the coal trade had an effect upon the ice busi as x hard-boiled on a wager.
