THE SILVER BILL. Under Consideration in the House Again Today. VOTE TO BE TAKEN TOMORROW. eens Post Office Appropriation Bill in the Senate. —_— CRITICIZING P. M. G. WANAMAKER, —— SENATE, The House bill to amend the articles of war relative to punishment on convictions by courts- martial was reported and placed on the calen- der. THE PROPOSED WOMAN'S UNIVERSITY. Mr. Blair stated that the bill introduced by him yesterday for the establishment of a women’s university had been prepared by him t the request of the Woman's National League, nd that Mrs. Charlotte Smith had been par- ticularly active in securing the names of incor- Pporators. AND IF 80, WHY? Mr. Blair offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for information as to claims and accounts adjusted and due to sol- diers and sailors and other creditors of the United States, of which there is reason to be- lieve the creditors are ignorant, and whether or not past a thereof is withheld from such creditors by the practice of his de- partment; and, if so, why? Mr. Call gave notice that he would tomorrow call up the adverse report from the committee on foreign relations on the resolution intro- duced by him relating to the independence of Cuba for the purpose of submitting some re- marks to the Senate. TUE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. The conference report on the naval appro- priation bill was presented and agreed to. THE POST OFFICE APPROPRIATION BILL. The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of the post office appropriation bill. The following are the amendments recommended by the committee on ppropriation Increas- ing the item for mail depredations, post oftice inspectors’ fees and expenses from $250,000 to 300.000; increasing the items for clerks in post offices from $7,200,000 to $7,590,000; re- ducing the item tor mail locks and keys from $50,000 to 35,000. In giving the item for transportation of for- eign mails from $664,000 to $712,000 and adding to the item these words: And from this appro- priation the Postmaster General is hereby authorized to expend the sum of $48,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to cover one- half of the costof transportation, compensation and expense of clerks to be employed in ussort- ing and pouching mails in transit on steamships between the United States and other postal ad- ministrations in the international postal union. CRITICISING THE POSTMASTER GENERAL, {n relation to the first amendment Mr. Gowan spoke in condemnation of the Post- master General's plan for having additional detectives to inquire into small matters, as whether the patrons of a post office are satis- fied thut the business of the office is reason- ably well performed; _ whether the post- master employs members of his own family; whether intoxicating liquors are sold m the post office building and other small matters, He thought that there was something rather ridiculous about all this, Under the Postmaster General's theory all the post ottices of the country were under huis super- vision, everything was ‘centered in Washing- ton and the policy of a hundred years (of relying on the people of each locality to ascertain whether a postmaster was discharging his duty at the lit- tle cross-roads post offices) was to be departed from. ‘The existing system had worked well in the past. There was no reason why the Post- master General should now enter on the work of ascertaining how much whisky was drunk in a post oftice building, or whether the postmas- ter had his wite or daughter attending the post office. WHAT MR. GORMAN OBJECTS TO. Ample provision was made for the employ- ment of special agents to inquire into mail depredations and such things, but what he ob- jected to was the proposition of the ostimaster General to enter upon a system such as he had ccggestat in a state- ment made by him before the House post office committee—dividing the county into twenty-six distri t. with a chief detective for each district, and with «corps of detectives to be used for visiting localities and getting “in touch with the people.” The Postmaster General had nothing to do with the people cxeept to obey their will. He (Mr. Gorman) did not want any Postmaster General to have a force under him whose avowed duty it might be to go around ainong the people and get “in touch with them.” The time might come when the Postmaster General would be more of a poli- tician than the present one. and night want to promote party success by contributions or otherwise. ‘MR, PLUMB’S COMMENTS Mr. Plumb, in charge of the bill, expressed his concurrence in most of Mr. Gorman’s ré- marks, but said the increase recommended was simply to increase the eficiency of the existing force of post office inspectors. He knew the American people better than the Postmaster General did, and knew that if there was any lack on the part of a postmaster, if there was any conspicuous defect in his character, the people would complain of it. The Postmaster General, he thought, entirely misconceived his relations to postmasters asf their relations tohim. The syetem proposed by him would set in motion every element of scandal und backbiting. It would be an unwarrantable intrusion— something which found no paraliel in private business and which ought not to be for a single instant tolerated in the public service. In reply to a question Mr. Plumb stated that the aggregate appropriations in the bill were 72,464,198, being $7,047,361 more than the es- timated revenue, THE AMBNDMENT AGREED TO. ‘The amendment was agreed to. INTERNATIONAL 8EA POST OFFICES, Iu connection with the last amendment Mr. Plumb sent to the clerk’s desk and had read a communication trom Mr, Wm. Potter, who had been deputed by the department to arrange with the British, French and German governments for international sei post offices on transatlantic mail steamship, analogous to railway post offices, The English government (Mr. Potter says) had submitted a position, but had made a condition that the nited States adopt the parcel post —a question which he had no power to consider, as it affected tariff arrangements, The Freuch offi- cials declined the proposition, alleging their short tenure of of But the man officials had carry out the arrangement on the two lines of Gee man transAtlantic steamers, the United States defraying one-half the cost, Mr. Gorman opposed the amendment and Mr. Blackburn argued in favor of it, The amendment was advocated by Messrs, Plumb, Hawley and Frye—the discussion drift- ing into the question of subsidy for ocean mails, ‘THE BILL PAssED. The amendment was agreed to, and the bill was passed, ‘The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of the diplomatic and consular sppropria- HOUSE, After the journal had been read Mr. Springer (ILL) called attention to the fact that it showed that the legislative appropriation bill amended by the Senate had been ferred to the appropriations committee out reference to the House, He said, ait if anyti the silver bill it was that the reference should be made in open House. and that the bill should have gone to the committee of the whole. The Speaker said the usual custom had been followed; that the record only informed the House of the references, and, therefore, de- clared the journal approved. THE LEGISLATIVE, ETC., APPROPRIATION BILL, Mr. Butterworth (Ohio) presented the re- port of the appropriations committee upon the Senate amendments to the legislative bill. He said that in the case of inconsequential amend- ments the committee recommended concur- rence, but where salaries were increased or new offices created the committee recom- mended non-concurrence, ‘The report of the committee was agreed to and a conference ordered after a few remarks by Mr. Dockery (Mo.) intended to demonstrat that the Senate employes were more numerous and better paid than the House employes in proportion to services rendered. He sai¢ that the average annual cost of clerical service to each Senator was #4,473, as against $1,200 for each member of the House, CONFERENCES, The request of the Senate for a conference upon the bill to incorporate the King Theologi- cal Hall was granted. Upon motion of Mr. Grimes (Ga,) the Senate amendments to the House bill providing for the erection of a public building at Columbus, Ga., were disagreed to and a conference re- quested. BILLS PASSED. Senate amendments to the bill to grant right of way through the Indian Territory to the Pittsburg, Columbus and Fort Smith Railroad Company were concurred in and the bill passed. MORE CONFERENCES ORDERED. A conference was also ordered on the bill to authorize towns to select public lands for cemetery purposes; the bill providing for a lught-house tender for the Portland, Ore., dis- trict and the bill to reorganize the customs collection district for Puget sound and the bill to increase the number of managers of the na- tial homes for volunteer soldiers, On motion of Mr. Perkins (Kan.) the Senate amendments to the House bill to extend the time for the payment of purchase money for lands of the Omaha Indians in Nebraska were agreed to. THE SILVER BILL UP AGAIN. Mr. McKinley (Obio), from the committee on rules, reported the following resolution: Resolved, That immediately after the pass- age of this resolution the House proceed to consider House bill 5381 (the silver Dill) with Senate amendments and at 2 o'clock Wednesday, June 25 (tomorrow), the previous question be considered as ordered. He demanded the previous question on the adoption of the resolution, which was ordered, and 20 minutes’ debate was allowed on either side. Mr. Milliken (Me.) asked whether an amend- ent was in order, and was informed that it not. CRITICISING THE COMMITTEE ON RULES, Mr. McMillan (Tenv.) proceeded to eriticise the action of the committee on rules. He re- cited the action of the committee when the silver bill was first considered, in cutting off the right of amendment and debate, aud said this was another proposition of the same kind—an ironclad rule to bind the House and prevent it from expressing its views, The House should have a set of rules under which business could be done and not operate, as now, under one rule today, another tomorrow and another the next day. Mr, Bland (Mo.) wanted to concur in the Senate amendments. He was ready to vote today or tomorrow, if he had an opportunity to vote, upon that proposition, Mr. Blount (Ga.) also deprecated the prac- tice of controlling legislation exercised by the committee on rnies. He said that before the Speaker was pepe! he had always been in favor of full and fair debate; but now he found it easier to do business without it. He feared that under this rule the coin- age committee would come in with a cut-and- dried program, which would preven: the House from voting upon free coinage, NLEY SURPRISED, Mr. McKinley said that the purpose of the resolution was to secure definite and speedy action upon the subject of silver, and he was surprised at the opposition from the other side, They had charged that the republicans would smother the silver bill and prevent legis- lation, Today be had given adirect refutation of that statement. The republicans had brought the bill back almost at once. They invited the House to concur or non-concur in the Senate amendments. The order gave AN OPPORTUNITY TO THE FREE-COINAGE MEN to vote for their proposition. It was results the republican side was after, and politics the democratic side was after. The House had passed the period of silver manipulation. It was face to face with the practical question whether we were to have free and unlimited coinage of the world’s silver product or whether we would legislate to absorb every ounce of silver produced in the United States and make it part of our monetary system. Mr. Springer (Ill,) said that the republicans had had their ears to the ground and had just had an awakening,,at and last, somewhat tardily, it was true, the republican leaders had been ob- liged to come over to the democratic position, THE SPECIAL RULE ADOPTED, On motion of Mr. MeKintey, the special rule was adopted without division. Mr. Conger, chairman of the coinage com- mittee, presented the report of that committee. It simply recommended that the House non- concur in each and all of the Senate amend- ments to the silver bill, and request a confer- ence on the same. Mr. Bland ( Mo.) moved that the House con- cur in the Senate amendment, THE DEBATE BEGINS. With these motions pending the debate be- gan, Mr. Conger taking the initiative. He de- tended the action of his committee, saying that it had reported a wise and conservative mens- ure. This judgment bad not been influenced by the action of the Senate. That body had not debated nor considered the bill it had passed and sent back to the House, If the bullion- redemption feature were stricken out then the overnment was placed in the position of buy- fog gold and silver builion and paying for it in silver coin—for that was the only money pro- vided for the purpose. Now FREE COINAGE MEANT that a man might take $100 worth of silver to the United States Mint and take away $180; It meant a profit of $13,000,000 a year to the bullion owners of this country. It meant that we should say to the world: Bring us your sil- ver and we will give you 30 per cent more for it than you can get anywhere else. He would not impose such a tax upon the people; and the bill reported by his committee meant that this government should buy silver for just what it was worth. None of the prophecies of evil result made*when the Bland-Allison bill was ed had come true. But, on the other hand, neither had the prophecies of the free- coinage men been realized, PROPHECIES, Mr, Bland (Mo.) wished to know what prophecies the gentleman referred to in the latter case. Mr. Conger—They bill (the Bland bill) prophesied that if that was passed silver would at once appreciate to the price of gold, Mr. d—I never heard such a statement made, I participated in the debate myself and claimed that — E a not ead a er said that rophecies had been made this session—that if on rb a gold would be equally shin’ she ant old wor e i while, if the adves bit Sot ae ALMOST A RESCUE.

As stated in yesterday's Stan the result of the Unofficial count of the District census made by j Supervisor Dingman shows the population of the District to be 228,160. Chief Clerk Ryle vester of the police department, who had charge of the police census in 1885, and again in 1885, made an advaucé estimate of 228,744 as the figures which would result from the cene sus just completed. “My estimate,” said Mr, Sylvester to a Stam report today, “‘satisties me of the correctness of the police census, although the last census, in 1885, was questioned by persons interested in showing a large population. Jn making the estimate I made my calculations on the police census In 1885 the figures were 203,459, while in 1858 the population was 218,157, an average increase of 4.89 each The difference between the police census two years ago and the government census now is 10,003 ora yearly average of about 5.000, which further verifies the correctness of the police consus. The police census, if anything, was more accurate tham the government census, although I think the latter is very nearly correct. “Supt. Dingman followed very nearly the methods adopted by the police department, with the exception of the boundaries of the working district, Supt. Dingman's advance estimate, which was based on the police figures, was 231,000, only 3,000 out of the way. The result of the government census gives the police department grounds to congratulate itself upon the correctness of its figures, which was disputed at the time.” WHERE THE INCREASES ARE, Speaking of what sections wore increased, Chief Clerk Sylvester suid that that could not yet be determined. He thought the largest increase would be found in the county, while in some sections of the city there would proba- bly be a decrease, In Georgetown, he thought, the imerease would be much larger for the past ars than it was during the three years 85 to INSS, when there was an increase of only ten, or an average of less than four persons a year. MK, PARKER THINKS THE FIGURES Low. The president of the Board of Trade. Mr. M M. Parker. in speaking of the estimated censug returns, said that he had expected that the | census would show a much larger population in the District than the figures given indicated, “Tho work of taking the census, in my opinion,” he said, ~was done too hastily. | There ought to have been more time jallowed to the enumerators and to the necessary supervision that a work of such importance demands, I ha’ no doubt but that the actuel population of the | District is at least 10,000 greater than the re- turns show. However, the increase of the mee indicates that this District is en- eying a steady, healthy growth and there ie every reason t prosperity past decad THE POPULATION AND THE MAIL. Superintendent Bell, of the city delivery at the city post office, said to a Star reporter this afternoon that there is really no fair com- parison between the rate of growth of the city and of the amouut of mail delivered. “We cag count on anincrease of 14 per cent a year in the amount of mail we handle,” said Capt, Bell “This great discrepancy can be accounted for in part by the cheapening of the rates of pos» tage and by the growth of the business inter= ests of the city. People write and receive more letters than they used to and this makes & vast difference everywhere, and this is ang- mented too in this city by the ine crease in the amount of government mail mat ter that passes through this ofice.” THE SILVER BILL.
