W. Astor or to the mother-in-law. Mr. Brown's term ex- pired some weeks ago and it was only recently that his successor was determined upon. Cox. M. I. Lupinaton, deputy quartermaster general, United States army, recently assigned to duty in the office of the quaatermaster gen- eral, hus arrived in the city. Col. Ludington was at the close of the war chief quartermas- ter of the department of Washington, with headquarters in this city, and afterward served six years as assistant to Gen.

SUNDRY CIVIL BILL AMENDMENTS, —>__ SENATE, ‘The Senate met at 10 a.m. and a call showed there were 47 Senators in attendance. The journal of yesterday having been read, Mr. Edmunds moved to amend and correct the journal by making it state the names of the 32 Senators who were present yesterday morning when the roll was first called, Mr. Sherman asked whether that had been the custom heretofore. Bs The presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls) replied that it had not been. Mr. Sherman doubted very much that the change ought to be made. If it were made he would insist on having it applied to all the calls of the Senate, of which there were half adozen yesterday. But such a rule woula only en- cumber the journal, WILLING TO STAND IT. Mr. Dawes said that he was not present when the roll was called yesterday morning, but he was in the Capitol engaged in the business of a conference committee. Whatever criticism justly attached to his absence under these cir- cumstances he was willing to take. The matter was further discussed by Sena- tors Butler, Platt, Evarte, Wilson (Iowa) and Harris, all of tuem expressing opposition to the motion on the ground that it would be manifestly unjust to Senators who were absent on account of sickness and to those who were paired; that it should not apply to the pastand that it would be contrary to the immemorial usage of the Senate. Mr, Edmunds defended the motion and said that he had not supposed that it would offend the sensibilities of any one. ‘MR. DAWES’ IRONY. Mr. Dawes, in a tone of irony, congratulated the country that those Senators who had been 80 anxious to insist upon an early meeting of the Senate had found a method for the useful employment of the time thus gained. ir, Edmunds’ motion was rejected. THE PROPOSED NEW SENATE RULE. Mr. Blair offered a resolution instructing the committee on rules to report, within fur days, arule for the incorporation of the previous question, or some method of limiting and clos- ing debate in the parliamentary procedure of the Senate, and asked for its immediate con- sideration. Objection was made on the democratic side and the resolution went over till tomorrow. The House joint resolution aed prfery Capt. Geo. W. Davis of the fourteenth United States infantry to accept a position in the Nicaragua Canal Construction Company was taken from the calendar and passed. THE TARIFF BILL UP AGAIN, The Senate then proceeded to the consider- ation of the tariff bill, resuming it at para- graph 62, page 10, under the head of “lead roducts,” The articles litharge and nitrate of lead were allowed to pass without comment. but to the third article, ‘orange mineral, 33¢ cents per pound,” Mr. Vance offered an amend- ment reducing the rate to 234 cents, ‘MR. VEST ON THR LEAD INTERESTS. In the course of the discussion Mr. Vest ex- Pressed himself in favor of reducing all the duties on lead and its various products, al- though his own state was the greatest lead pro- ducing state in the Union. The largest lead mine in the state, of which Mr. Hazard, an eastern man, was the principal stockholder, had declared last year dividends amounting to 29 per cent, but the wages of the employes had not been increased one cent. So thatthe claim that high protective duties were for the benefit of the working man was a fraud and cheat from the beginning. It was notorious that there was a great lead trust in existence; and if the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) had been consistent with is declarations he could have favored the reduction of duty on lead and all its products. The poorest man who painted his house had, Mr. Vest said, to pay tax to that trust. Mr. Morgan inquired of Mr. Allison whether the increused duty on orange mineral would result in an increase or a diminution of reve- nue. Mr. Allison gave it as his impression that it would increase the revenue about €10,000. Taking the whole chemical schedule he did not think that the result would be either to increase the price of articles or to increase the revenue materially, The discussion drifted off from lead and its products tu the question as to whether the re- duction of duties increased or diminished prices to consumers, and this phase of the controversy devolved particularly on Mr, Mor- gan and Mr. Edmunds, quinine being the ar- ticle round which the disputation revoived, THE “TAP” ON THE SURPLUS. In the course of it Mr. Morgan spoke of the “tap” which the republicans had placed on the surplus, drawing it all off and making it inev- itable that the government would be a borrower betore the end of another year, A jocular al- lusion having been made by Mr. Edmunds to the Farmers’ Alliance, Mr. Morgan said that he would be no proper representative of the state if he left the alliance out of consideration, inasmuch as 9 per cent of the white farmers of Alabama were alliance men, They could not run him off from sup- porting their true and honest interest, bee f might not even recognize him as their friend, as the negroes of the south certainly did not, and yet there was not a man in the Senate who wouid fight harder for alliance men and for negroes than he would. Uf for a moment they did not fee! that the ties of friendship bound him'to them that waa n0 reason why he should desert them and he did not intend to do it. THE FIVE-MINUTE-RULE OBJECTED TO. Mr. Aldrich asked unanimous consent that in regard to the remaining paragraphs in the chemical schedule, about twenty in number and none of them specially important, de- bate shall proceed under the five-minute-rule. Mr. McPherson objected. Mr. McPherson spoke of the lead trust,wRich controlled the entire lead trade of the country. He told of his having met not long ina New York bank parlor the owner of alead mine, who told him that THE LEAD TRUST had offered to purchase his interest. “How much is your plant worth?” Mr. McPherson asked. “Icould duplicate it for $200,000," was the answer. “And how much does the trust offer you?” “A million dollars.” “And how does the trust hey ap tobe able to pay.you a million dollars for what is only worth 000 and to pay dividends?” “It Price of the product.” The offer had been ac- Mr. McPherson) the Tene. and (said price been increased to an extent to enable the trust to ‘ dividend on any amount of capi- c= to the next two phe (67 and 68) as to phosphorus and bichromate and chromate of Potash. Paragraph 69 was amended, on motion of Mr. Aldrich, by making it read, “Caustic or hydrate of potash, refined, in sticks or rolls, 1 see per pound.” — me .¢ home A ar h 70, “carbonate of , 20 per cont ad valorem,” was, on Head of Mr. Al- drich, struck out, so that it noW goes on the free list, An amendment offered to the next para- graph by Mr. Vest to reduce the duty on hy: Frodate iodide and odate of potash (a medi- }) from 50 cents to 40 cents a pound led to SHARP PERSONAL CONTROVERSY between Mr. Vest and Mr. Dawes, the latter finding fault with the former for calling in question the veracity of a Philadelphia firm of manufacturing chemists (Powers & Wight- man) on the subject of quinine. Mr. Vest de- clared that he would not receive a lecture from the Senator from Massachusetts, who had, by inheritance and mode of life, assumed a right to lecture others. The latter denied that he had ever assumed a right to lecture any body, nor had he ever shrunk from the duty of defending any honorable man who was un- justly assaile Mr. Vest said that he had had reference to what he considered a tendency of Mr. Dawes’ people to assume a morality, an intelligence and a standing bigher than that of anybody else. The amendment was rejected. Paragraph 74, sulphate of potash, was, on motion of Mr. Aldrich, struck out; it now goes on the free list. Mr. McPherson moved to reduce the duty on medicinal preparations, of which alcohol is a component part, from ‘fifty to thirty-five cents per pound. Rejected. ‘Mr. McPherson moved to reduce the duty on santonine (paragraph 79) from $2.50 to 1a pound, saying that the article was a vermifuge used for sick children. Rejected. Mr. McPherson moved to reduce the duty on castile soap (paragraph 80) from 13¢ cents per pound to 20 per cent ad valorem, the present rate. Rejected by the usual purty vote— yeas, 18; nays, 29. HOUSE, On motion of Mr. Taylor (Miss.) a resolution was adopted calling on the Secretary of War for copies of the report of the engineers in charge of the work of improvement in Gal- veston harbor, THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. The House then resumed consideration of the Senate amendments to the sundry civil appro- priation bill. 4 POTOMAC LIGHT HOUSE. The question being on non-concurring in the Senate amendment appropriating 50,000 for a light house near Maryland Point, Potomac river, Mr. Rogers of Arkansas rose and, being recogmzed by the Speaker, said that he wished to submit a few remarks, Mr. Cannon (Ill.) made the point that debate ‘was not in order. The Speaker was at first inclined to sustain this point, but after a brief debate, in order to save time, he recognized Mr. Cannon to move © previous question. MR. ROGERS PROTESTS. Against this Mr. Rogers protested, saying that this was the second time that the Speaker, after having recognized him, had summarily taken him off the floor. THE SPEAKER THOUGHT that he had always treated the gentleman with politeness and respect. The chair bad not recognized the gentleman for debate. When a gentleman rose, of course the chair could not tell what he rose for until he stated it. 4 rs suggested that when no one was occupying the floor and a gentleman rose and was recognized it was none of the chair’s busi- ness what be was recognized for. The Speaker—The chair respectfully states a it is the chair's business as Speaker of the louse. Mr. Rogers—The chair arrogates that right. “TRE CHAIR ARROGATES NOTHING.” The Speaker--The chair arrogates nothing. The chair acts as the Speaker of the House. He has always endeavored to act toward the gen- tlemen with entire fairness and respect. Mr. Rogers—It is a difference of opinion, ‘The Speaker—It is a difference of opinion what this House can and does base its judg- ment on. Mr. Rogers—i have no doubt about that and I have no ‘Soubt what the verdict is. ‘The Speaker—I have not either. THEY AGREE ON THIS, Mr. Rogers remarked that was one point on which he and the Speaker agreed. HE SHUT THE DOORS. The Proof of the Coolness Was in Keeping it in. Senators and employes who thought they knew what they were doing have been insist- ing during the hot weather that the doors of the Senate chamber should be kept wide open. The result has been that Senators have been just as warm as the loungers in the corridors, Today the chief en- gineer asserted his authority and had the doors closed merely by proving that when the cham- ber was shut off the temperature would fall about 9 or 10 degrees. ‘The cool air pomped in by the ‘ventilating machinery gives the chamber # temperature of from 80 to 82 degrees if the doors losed, but if the doors are open the chilly stream is too widely disseminated to do any good and the result is 91 degrees.
