VOORHEES AGAINST IT. Representative Walker's Death Announced in the House —.—_—_ SENATE. | On motion of Mr. Hoar the select committee reeess and the next session. The Senate bill authorizing the construction | of a pontoon bridge across the Mississippi river | at Quincy, Ill, was reported and passed. The House bill to amend the act of June 22, 1974, for the relief of settlers on railroad lands was reported and placed on the calendar. ORDER OF BUSINESS. Mr. Dawes moved to proceed to the consid- eration of the Indian appropriation bill, Mr. Gray asked him to yield and permit the bill to transfer the revenue marine to the naval establishment to be taken up in the morni hour, Mr. Morrill informed Mr. Dawes that if he did not proceed with the Indian appropriation bill be (Mr. Morrill) would move to proceed with the tariff. Mr. Gray remarked that the Senator from Vermont could hardly expect to exclude all matters that might not have the extent and j mpfmitude of the tariff bill. There wus no leg- jie ion that could be considered by the Senate during the remainder of the session that would not take some time from the consideration of the tariff bill, and he did not think thet the Senator should nothing else should be considered. Mr. Morrill said it was not his purpose to antagonize particularly the bill of the Senator from Delaware, but he did propose to ask the consideration of the tariff bill in opposition il any other measure except appropriation pills BILL TO TRANSFER THE REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE, Mr. Gray made a motion to proceed to the consideration of the bill (House bill) to trans- | fer the revenue cutter service from the Treas- | ury Department, Agreed to—yeas, 30; nave, 23: The repnblicans who voted’ yea were | Messrs, Cameron, Casey, Culiom, Farwell, Frye.

Senate bill appropriat:ng $75,000 for a public building at Fergus Falls, Minn., was reported and placed on the calendar, ‘The Senate then proceeded to the considera- tion of the House bill to transfer the revenue cutter service. PROPOSED CHANGE OF DATE. The bill having been read Mr. Gray moved to change the date for the appointment of rev- enue officers to be officers of the navy from July 1, 1890, to October 1, 1890. Mr. Allison sarees that the date should be postponed til! January, 1891, when the Senate would be in session to confirm the ap- pomtmenta It might perhaps be in session in October, but he hoped not. Mr. Gray accepted the suggestion and the date was fixed for January 1, 1891. ‘MR, SHERMAN OPPOSED THE BILL a8 one of the worst measures that had been be- fore the Senate in many years. It would do- Stroy aservice that had been organized fora hundred yoars; would reverse the decisions of atleast half a dozen Congresses, and would disarrange the revenue marine so that practically it would be of no service in the collection of customs revenue, The only ob- ject of the bill was to advance the pay of the officers to the extent of $121,000 a year and to have them entitled to be placed on the retired list. These officers had not asked ab initio for the measure. They had only asked as a measure of justice that their pay should be the same as that of naval officers of corresponding rank and that they should have the right to retiring pay. The young officers of the navy were also in favor of the bill, as it’ would give them better chances for promotion. They thought that it would give them pleasant em- dance with the girls and could have fun and a good time, As one of them bad recently ex- pressed it, “What a delightful thing it would be to be captain of 4 revenue cutter.” But was that, Mr. Sherman asked, the duty for which they w educated by the government? Not at ull, he said, their duty as officers of the navy Was not to run the revenue marine, not to catch smugglers, but to fight the enemies of the country, to be skilled in warfare, in gun- nery and ia seamanship. With a full knowledge of the nature and character of the work performed by the officers or tue revenue ma- rine he deelaved that the bill ought not to pass, but that Congress ought to grant the petition of these officers and give them the same pay as naval officers of corresponding rauk, He believed that the resuit of the meas- ure would be to destroy the of the revenue service aud to bring discord and and confusion into both branches, MR. SPOONER REPLIED to Mr. Sherman’s argument and advocated the bill, Every one had to admit, he said, that when the Senator from Ohio opposed a proposition thet had any relation whatever to the administration” of the Treasury Department that proposition ought to be very carefully examined before its adoption, And the Senator was not only opposed to the pending bill, but was very bitterly opposed to 1 If) the bill was palpably’ vicious, if there was no principle of public policy on which it could be deiended, if it was, purely and simply, an effort on the part of a few of- ficers to obtain higher pay, then he begged to gay to the Senator from Ohio that a great muny very respeetable people ad gone very wrong on the subject, In the first place the bill had been recom- mended by the Secretary of the Navy—not sim- ply acquiesced in, but recommended. It had so met the approval of the Secretary of the ‘Treasury. Mr. Allison opposed the bill. ‘The Dill was still being discussed, when, at 2 o'clock, it was laid uside without action and the “unfinished business”—the tariff bill—was takey up for consideration, Mr. Voorhees addressed the Senate in oppo- | sition to the vill which he characterized as a ‘financial mouster, every claw and tooth of which had been carefully inspected in the lob- bies aud found to be sound aud reliable, HOUSK, In his prayer this morning the chaplain feel- ingly aliuded to the doath of Representative Waiker of Missouri, U.

Mr. Hoar, chairman of the Senate committee ‘Upon relations of commerce and business with Canada, presented to the Senate today the tes- timony which has been taken by that commit- tee. This testimony was not accompanied by areport. It is understood that the committee will make @ report of its conclusions at a later period after additional testimony shall have been taken at Detroit, Buffalo and some other WHICH WAS THEREUPON ADJOURNED, | Points. The testimony already taken comprises some 1,200 printed pages. It consists of testi- mony of military men, railroad officials, prom- inent business men of the United States and Canada, men engaged in the fishing industry along the whole extent of our northern boundary from California to Maine. The tes- timony covers all the points of vital into rest as to the relations between the United States and the dependencies of Great Britain in North erica, GEN. MILES ON THE MILITARY SITUATION. The first witness examined was Gen. Nelson A. Miles, in command on the Pacific coast. His testimony is a valuable contribution to the military situation, and one passage of it at least will ve probably read with startling inter- est by all Americans. Gen. Miles, commentin, upon the defenseless condition of the Unite States upon our northwestern border, said: “I will state what is well kuown in regard to Canada, Ibeheve that the railway system of British Columbia could be occupied by American troops in ten days; in other words, that the principal part of British Columbia could be occupied by American troops, not, however, through Victoria. That is on the Island of Van- couver, occupied by British forces, a place where the British government has expended millions in building dry docks and navy yards and has made some surveys for her fortifica- tions. They have there at this time a fleet of war ships under the command of a Hritish ad- miral, Ithink it is fair tosay, what every intelligent man must know, that during that ten days THE BRITISH FLEET COULD DESTROY EVERY TOWN and city on Puget Sound, destroy our railroad system there and occupy our outlets for that northwestern country. They could also send ships up the Columbia river and destroy the city of Portland and that railway system, ‘There is not a gun or an earthwork on Puget Sound, nor a single artillery soldier. There are a few obsolete guns at the mouth of the Columbia, at Fort Canby; but that is not now occupied by trooy That is the condition of affairs north of the harbor of San Francisco. South of the harbor of San Francisco there is not a gun in position, a round of ammunition nor a single artillery soldier to defend the har- bors and cities of San Diego, Santa Barbara and San Pedro, the terminus of one of the rail- roads, and irom those points a small force could destroy the railway system in southern California,” : THE FORTIFICATIONS AT ESQUIMAULT. The testimony contains an account of the British fortifications at Esquimault, where it is reported that Great Britain is now concentrat- ing war vessels, with a view to possible contin- geucies in Behring sea A great number of witnesses discuss in all its relations the ques- tion of subsidies to steamers from the Pucific coast to China, notably the lines which have been subsidized by Great Britain ia connection with the Canadian Pacific railroad and which constitute ® continuous subsidized line from to Liverpool over the Canadian Pacifix, encral policy and effect of the Canadian fo railronds 9] no the United States rail- roads is discussed by the friends and oppo- nents of that system. One of the CURIOUS FEATURES OF THE TESTIMONT is aconsideration of the possible transfer of a portion of the fisheries interest from the Atlan- tic to the north Pacific coast. The testimony gives the latest information as to the salmon industry on the Pacific coast and the coal pro- duction along the northern frontiers and im the northwestern states. The testimony is an im- portant contribution to many subjects con- nected with the tariff debate. The very im- portant lumber question, which is so much dis- cussed, is fully considered in the testimony. Neurly every question OONNECTED WITH THE TARIFF as affected by the relation between the United Btates and Canada is treated on both sides in this testimony. The managers of the Trans- continental railway system set forth at length their complaint at the competition of the Cunadian roads, which is made possi ble by the fact that these roads ure not subject to the operatiuns of the interstate counerce law. A great many dif- forent remedies for the evils of which the United States roads complain are suggested. Most of the American railway managers main- tain that the Canadian Pacific is munical to American railway interests, © Many of them suggest that the long and short haul and the pending sections of the interstate commerce law should be repealed. Tue ad- Yovates and the opponents of reciprocity state their causes ut lengta, Some very curious infor- mation is given as to the nature of THE ALASKA SEAL FISHERIES, Most of the fishermen engaged in the food fishing on the north Atlantic coast insist that the seals are very destructive of food fish, and that it will be a benefit to the country when they shall all disapp There is abundant evidence to show that seals are destroyed in the most wanton mauner by shooting, irre- spective of the season, aud even when the seals are in the breeding season. The testimony contains full information as to the wool-growiug interests aud the woolen manufacturing industry on the Pacific coast and along the northwestern border. THE FISHERY QUESTION, The relations of the fishery question on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts are set forth. Ono of the fishermen of the northwestern coast said it requires over forty million pounds of food fish pur day to supply the seals, and that it may become necessary on that coast to get rid of the seals in order to preserve the food fish for mankind, Some of the fishermen predict ‘that, with the pera bers of hunting the seals, there will not any seals in Bering 8eu in five years’ time. ‘The testimony contains a vast deal of detailed information as to ihe resources of THE XEW NORTHWEST. The advocates of commercial union, of re- ciprocity, of free raw material, have been per- mitted to state their views at length, The complaints of the New England Sshermen and | the operations of the modus vivendi in Canada | are dewuled, There is exhaustive information as to mawrial political condition of Cusada, ‘There is complete information as to the ves- sels fisheries of the United States, Some light is thrown upon the controversy between New- foundiand and France as to the French fisher- ies at the Isiand of St, Pierre and Miquelon, which are such a sensational feature of Cana- dian news just now. The rights of the Ameri- can fishermen under the several treaties with Great Britain are considered, THE SUBJECT OF ANNEXATION, of which so much has been said, is incidentally referred to by a number of the witnesses and the advantages and disadvantages which, it is assumed, would result from a union of the two countries are explained by individuals, PRETTY LITTLE WAR. ‘Salvador and Gautemala Banging Away at Each Other. PLOT NIPPED IN ARGENTINE. | Louisiana Gives a $15,000 Reward For Maj. Burke’s Arrest. —_ PLANNING FOR THE WORLD'S FAIR. —_—— WAR IN CENTRAL AMERICA. Salvador Seems to Have Won the First Victory Over Guatemala. Crry or Mexico, July 21.—The long-threat- | ened war has broken out between Guatemala and Salvador, cccording to official advices received by the confidential agent of the provisional government j of Sam Salvador Senor Geronimo Pou, who arrived here Saturday night from San Sal- vador.

Ezeta: “July 18—The enemy, 9,000 strong. yesterday invaded San Salvador, but our forces bravely repulsed them, causing their complete rout. Many pieces of artillery, large quantities of ammunition and hundreds of stacks of arms were captured by us. I have given orders to advance into Guatemala.” Senor Pou says the Salvador army is armed with Remington rifles, machine gunsand moun- tain batteries, and is generally well equipped with plenty of money. The Salvadorian forces re inferior in number to those of Guatemala, but Senor Pou says that he has received ad. vices that divaffection has occurred in the army of Gautemala, and two battalious have refused to proceed to the frontier, which, he thinks, will have the effect of equalizing mat- ters. Gen. Ezeta is commanding the move- ments of the Salvador forces. Minister Diegnez of Guatemala and San | Salvador says that the only dispatches received are from points in San Salvador, where it is known that press censorship is in force. “Our forces are well armed with Reming- ton rifles, gatling guns and mountain batteries, and if San Salvador has 16,000 men in the field we have nearly double that number. While it is true we have no big fund in the treasury everybody in the country will come to the front with money in case there be war.” — TAKING COUNSEL.
