Ganebter:] In the course of the discussion, which turned upon the benefits conferred on labor by high rates of duty, Mr. McPherson asserted that (taking the whole bill) American labor did not receive 20 per cent of the duties, and that, as the wages of American labor were double She wages psid in Enroy , half of that 20 per cent would represent the entire difference tween the labor cost in the United States and the labor cost abroad, MR, ALDRICH RIDICULED THAT STATEMENT and said that if it was true the Sepator should not move to fix a duty of 4 cents a pound on licorice paste because that would (according to the Senator's figures) put 3.3 cents a pound into the pockets of the manufacturers. He said that there wasa little scrap of litical history as to the licorice paragraph in the Mills billy ‘That bill originaliy proposed a duty of 4 cents @ pound on licorice ; but when it was found that the men engaged in the busi- ness were democrats’the rate was increased to Scents—the same asthe finance committee now proposed. “MR, VEST REPELLED THE INTIMATION and read from the proceedings before the com- mittee of waye snd means in 1888 to disprove it Bathe charged that the pending bill was absolutely intended to pay off the manufac- turers for their subscriptions to the republican party in the last oampaign. The discussion was continued by Mr. Platt, Mr. Hawley and. Mr. Vanco. ‘MR. M'PHERSON’S AMENDMENT VOTED DOWN. Finally, the vote was taken on Mr. McPher- son’s amendment to reduce the duty on extracts of licorice to four cents » pound and it was dis- agreed to by the usual party vote—yeas, 16; a 27. ‘he committee amendment was then agreed to, making the daty 5 cents a pound. The next Paragraph was: ‘Magne bonate of, medicinal, 4 cents per pound; cal cined, 8 cents per pound; sulphate of or epsom salts, 3-10 cents per pound.” Mr. McPherson moved to reduce the rates to 8,6 and 2-10 per pound, respectively.

There were, however, not more than ten Senators present during the prayer, and after the chap- lain retired Mr. Gorman suggested the fact that there was no quorum present. The roll was called and thirty-two Senators answered to their names—eleven less than a quorum— whereupon the sergeant-at-arms was directed to request the attendance of absent Senators, THE JOKE ON MA, SHERMAN. By 10:20 a quorum had appeared, one of the latest to arrive being Mr. Sherman, who offered the resolution by which the time of meeting had been advanced an hour, and this circum- stance was jocuiarly commented on by some of the democratic Senators. It was suggested by Mr. Edmunds and others that the journal should give the names of the absentecs when the roll call was completed and the names of those subsequently reporting in the order in which they arrived. Mr. Hale thought, however, that the rule under which the Senate was now operating should not be made any more obnoxious than it now was, Mr. Harris gave it as his opinion that if the fact of the journal giving the names of ab- sentees would have the effect of bringing a quorum at the hour of meeting, it ought to be done, If so early an hour was found incon- venient the Senate should FIX AN HOUR THAT WOULD BE CONVENIENT. It was grossly unjust to the members of the minority to be compelled to be present and waste their time until it suited the convenience of other Senators to appear and make a quorum to discharge the busines# of the body. He would favor any measure that would tend to bring a quorum (at least) of the Senate at the hour fixed for meeting, whatever that hour may be. No action was taken on the suggestion, but all further proceedings under the call were dispensed with, The journal of yesterday's proceedings was read and agreed to. IRRIGATION AGAIX, A communication from the Secretary of the Interior, with a letter from the director of the geological survey, in answer to a resolution calling for information as to the sites for irri- gation surveys, canals, &c., was presented. While the letter was being read Mr. Aldrich suggested that in order tosave time the read- ing ought to be dispensed with and the letter printed, but Mr. Gorman said that he wished to hear the letter, as the matter to which it referred was now under discussion by the House and might be before the Senate today or tomorrow. After the resding-bad been resumed it was y Mr. Sherman, who did not wish the business delayed by it, Mr. Gorman rvpeated his statement of the object he had in view. He wished to have the document read in full, so that it might appear in the Record. To that Mr. McPherson castor oil from 50 cents to 25cents per gallon, and said that the former rate was equivalent to 125 per cent ad valorem. Di to, HOUSE, Mr. Oates (Ala.), rising to a question of priv- ilege, offered a resolution for the inv. ation National Heonomst. bility and wide circulation it should not be passed over in silence.

MR. GORMAN SAID that as he could not have the document read he would ask to be permitted to read itin manuscript before it went to the printer. As to Mr. Sherman’s statement that he was present four days to his (Mr. Gorman’s) one he asserted that he had not missed a dayin the Senate during the entire session except when he was too ili, and that was only during the winter. He thought the Record would show that he had never been absent during a morning roll call, Atall events he had never been and never ex- pected to be the author of a resolution com- ing the Senate to meet at an extraordinary our and then fail to put in an appearance, But tablished. INDEFINITE CHARGES. tion did not present a question of privilege. The charge made in the editorial was indefinite, Nothing definite was charged. For one, until somebody made a reasonably specific charge and shows an ability to procure evidence that ‘There wero some members of the Farmers’ Alliance who were demagogues and who were attempting to lead the into politics and outside of its legitimate sphere of action. And these men were feeding upon. just such utterances as this editorial contained. They were trying to create the impression that ail public men were corrupt, and that they were THE ONLY VIRTUOUS MEN IN THE UNION and therefore should be put into office. There were some members of the Farmers’ Alliance who were demagogues, and who were attempt- ing to lead the Alliance into politics and outside of its legitinfate sphere of action, and those men were feeding upon just such utterances. They were trying to create the impression that all public men were corr; ir. Richardson (Tenn.) characterized the editorial charge as an assault upon the integ- rity of the House and argued that the House owed it to its fair fame to have the matter in- vestigated. ‘THE SPEAKER'S RULIXG. After further discussion the Speaker ruled that the resolution was not a privileged one. In doing so he ssid that the newspaper editorial was of the vaguest character. It made no assertion except by inference. It made no statement upon which anybody could be expected to predicate a belief or a conviction, It was within the knowledge of every member that phs of this WHAT HE PARTICULARLY RESENTED was the intimation (rather by manner than by speech) that his object was delay. There was no foundation for it. In the course of discussion allusion was made by Mr. Gorman to the delay in printing the Behring sea correspondence, and Mr. Sher- man, while expressing his ow at the delay, explained that it was owing to the fact that some mape essential to the prover understanding of matter had to en- Bri ace operation which required consid- e ime. ‘The presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls) said that \e vee rien lor thang be Interior, with the accompan’ Printed in a public THE M'GARRAHAN CLANL Mr. Teller reported a bill authorizing the Court of Claims to take jurisdiction of the Mc- Garrahan claim to the Rancho Panoche Grande ia California, and it was placed on the calen- " _ qUR RIVER AXD HARBOR BILL. | MAKING THE CHANGES of the charges of corruption against members of the House contained in a recent editorial in the ‘Mr, Oates eatd that when » charge of this character was made by a journal of respecta- bers of the House that this fact should be es- Mr. Cannon (IIL) contended that the resolu- NOMINATIONS FOR CONGRESS, Hansbrough Knocked Qut in North Dakota, Graxp Fons, N.D., Jaly 31.—Ats late hour Jast night the republican state convention Rominated the following ticket: Capt.

Now, however, there isa movement among the enlisted mem in London, Aldershot and elsewhere to presen’ complaints as to long-standing abuses, some of which have attracted the attention of even the higher members of the service. As yet no visie bie token has been forthcoming that the abuses are likely to be remedied, but there are reports tothe effect that since their alarm over the Grenadier Guards’ meeting the authorities are contemplating a reform that will obviate the more serious of the causes of complaint, What They Want.
