The Quay Resolution Not Taken Up in the Senate, THE TARIFF DEBATE GOES ON. The Eight-Hour Claims Bill Dis- cussed in the House. AND THE LARD BILL IS TAKEN UP. —_——— SENATE. Among the petitions presented was one by Mr. Quay from the Philadelphia Reform Club of Philadelphia protesting against the passage of the federal election bill. and one by Mr. Vance to the same effect from the board of trade of Raleigh, N.C. Mr. Blair introduced, at the request of the Farmers’ Alliance, a bill to provide for banks of deposit. PROHIBITION IN THE SENATE WING. Tho resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Plumb to prevent the; sale of spirituous, vinous and malt liquors in the Senate wing of the Capitol was laid before the Senate; the pending questions being on Mr. Biair’s amend- ment toadd the words ‘and drinking,” and on Mr. Butlor’s amendment directing a daily search for liquors of committee rooms and other apartments. Mr. Gibson suggested jokingly the extension of the amendment so as to direct the search of Senators’ desks, Mr. Butler—I have no objection, MR, PLUMB OBJECTED to both amendments as calculated to belittle the resolution, which he had offered seriously and in deference to public opinion. Irrespect- ive of the question of personal habits and tastes, he thought that the extent to which the liquor traffic was carried on in the Senate res- taurant was hurtful. He did not believe that there was any legislative body in the world, certainly not in the United States, that permit ted liquors to be sold publicly in'the buildings where it held its sittings. A QUESTION whether Mr. Blair’s amendment was still pend- ing or whether it had been accepted by Mr. Plumb gave rise to a discussion affecting the accuracy of the report in the Record. The question remained undecided. Mr. Aldrich, chairman of the committee on rules, referred to the existing rule on the sub- ject (adopted in 1884), and to the fact that it only forbade the sale of intoxicating liquor, leaving the assumption to be that wine and beer might be sold by the caterer. Mr. Butier thought that the existing rules were sufficient to guard against the alleged improprieties in the restaurant,and he con- demned the SPASMODIC OUTBREAKS OF VIRTUOUS INDIGNA- TION in the Senate chamber. He believed that there was as much abstinence in the Senate as in any similar body in the world, and yet these dis- cussions gave currency to the opinion that Sen- ators indulged too frequently in spirituous liquors. ‘Te Blair agreed with Mr. Butler and said that he had never intermeddled with men’s personal habits; what he had warred with was intoxication in the mass. He had not noticed anything out of the way in the restaurant, but he thought that if there was to be reform in the Senate wing of the Capitol, that reform should be extended to Senators and to commit- tee rooms, SUCH AN EXTENSION OF THE REFORM, he intimated, would have the effect of pre- venting Senators becoming so befuddled as to interfere with the consideration of the clection bill. (Laughter.) King Alcohol, he added, would not then be interfering in debate and bringing about shat pecporaity of debate about which all complained. (Laughter. ) Mr. Hoar expressed his concurrence with Mr. Butler's remarks and his belief that there could not be found in this country the same number of men in middle or advanced life whose habits of life were more TEMPERATE AND AUSTERE, The hard work of the Senate was not com- patible withintemperance. Names of Senators on both aidesof the chamber, in the present and in the past, would occur to many, to whom the Senate had been a cause of reform and of change of life in that particular, and any sug- gestion that a Senator's life was a life of self- indulgence was, according to his observation and belief, absolutely without foundation, He was obliged to the Senator from South Caro- lina for his emphatic and spirited assertion of that fact. ‘ The matter, at the suggestion of Mr. Pasco, went over till tomorrow. THE 3UY RESOLUTION PASSED, The resolution heretofore offered by Mr. Plumb in regard to the charges against Lieut. Guy of the police force was taken up and agreed to, THE ALIEN LAND ACT IN WASHINGTON CITY. Mr. Hoar, from the judiciary committee, re- ported a bill exempting the real estate in Washington owned by James and Julius Lans- burgh from the operation of the alien land act, and after explanayon it was passed, The presiding officer made the usual inquiey whether there was any other morning busi- ness and (receiving no reply) declared that business closed. THE TARIFF BILL was then taken up, the pending question being on Mr. McPhorson’s amendment to paragraph 161, page 39. This paragraph refers to table knives, forks, steels, butcher knives, &c., and imposes compound duties on them according to value classifications. ‘The xmendment is to ubstitute for these duties « uniform rate of 35 per cent ad valorem. Mr. Coke addressed the Senate in opposition to the bill axa whole, criticixing many of its provisions, and condemuing them as being in the interest of manufacturers and against the interest of consumers, THE PENSION OFFICE INCREASE. Mr. Coke yielded the floor temporarily while the conference report on the bill for an in- crease of the clerical force of the Pension Office was presented and agreed to, Mr. Faulkner followed Mr. Coke in a set speech aguinst the tariff biil. HOUSE, Mr. Rogers (Ark.) was the member who this morning called the attention of the Speaker to the fact that there was no quorum present, and on motion of Mr. McKinley (Ohio) a call of the House was ordered. One hundred and thirty-nine members—less than a quorum—responded to their names and -arms was dispatched to hunt up absentee In the course of half an hour a quorum ap- peared, further proceedings under the call were dispensed with and the journal was read. On motion of Mr, Culberson (Tex.) a Senate bill was passed to change the time of the ses- sions of the circuit and district courts for the western district of Missouri. On motion of Mr. Hall (Min,) bill was passed amending the act authorizing the con- struction of a bridge across the Red River of the North, On motion of Mr. Hatch (Mo.) a Senate bill was passed authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi river at some ac- cessible point between the mouth of the Illinois and the mouth of the Missouri rivers, THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. Mr. Henderson (Ill.) reported the river and harbor bill, asking non-concurrence in all the Senate amendments and agreeing to the con- ference requested by the Senate, Mr. Kerr (Iowa) made the point of order that the amendments must first be considered in committee of the whole, Mr. Henderson withdrew the re- D.

Guatemala and Salvador Sign a Treaty and the War Stops Pants, August 21.—A cablegram has just been received at the Guatemalan legation bere to the effect that peace has been signed between Saivador and Guatemala. Vice President Ayola of Salvador has assumed the supreme execu- tive functions, and will arrange the details of an election for president. TWO CENTS. port, stating that he would make it tomorrow morning asa privileged matter, THE EIGHT-HOUR CLAIMS. Inthe morning hour Mr. Buchanan (N.J.) again called up the bill for the adjustmens of the accounts of laborers, workmen and me- chanics arising under the eight-hour law. In advocating the bill Mr. Buchanan con- tended that the eight-hour law made a contract clear and explicit between the government and the workingmen ae by it. He reviewed the violations of the law and of President Gravt's order under it, stating that most of the violations had occurred in the War and Navy departments, Men had worked extra hours without receiving the extra compensation pledged to them by the government. , _48 TO THE AMOUNT OF MONEY involved in the bill there had been many wild and extravagant conjectures, The committee on labor had received official communications from the heads of departments upon the sub- ject. The estimates, while not exactly correct, Were approximately so. The Secretary of the Navy for his department estimated $300,000; the Secretary of War $800,000, and the Post- master General $175,000. These sums aggre- gated $3,975,000, and no man had a scintilla of evidence to show that if all the claims were allowed and paid in full they would involve one dollar above that sum. They might in- volve less, But this was not a question of money, but a question of justice. Justice should never be measured by dollars, If these men were entitled to anfthing they were entitled to whatever the amount might be, be the amount large or small. It had been said that the men were represented by a pow- erful lobby. It was not true. They were poor men who could not afford to employ those rep- resentatives who were sometizmes influential in pushing measures through Congress, Let it not go to the country that Congress denied to poor men that access to the courts which it gave to the wealthy contractors of the country. ‘MR. GEST FAVOES THE BILL. Mr. Gest (Ill) favored the bill Up to 1872, when Grant issued his second proclama- tion, the understrappers and the autocrats of the army had defied the Congress of the United States and the President of the United States, and had compelled men to work twelve hours instead of eight hours, as had been the intent of the law. It was but just to these men that they should be recompensed for their extra labor. : Mr. Kerr (fowa) expressed himsolf as being an earnest friend of tho eight-hour law, but he believed that the men who had consented to accept $2.50 a day for ten or twelve hours’ work, while men in other employments were receiving but $1.75, were the greatest enemies of the law. Having received that extra pay they were not entitled to ask for additional pay for the time which should have been given to other men, THE BILL DEFINING LARD. Pending further discussion the morning hour expired and the House proceeded under the special order to the consideration of the bill defining lard. ‘MR. M'CLAMMY ENLIVENS THE DEBATE. Mr. McClammy (N.C.) opposed the measure. He had intended to answer the eloquence of the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Brosius), buthe could notdoso. Last night he had wooed the goddess of sleep and she had not come to him. He had stayed swake all night thinking over the importance of this measure. He knew that it was a big question He knew that in comparison with it the Lodge bill would sink into insignificance. (Laughter.] He honestly, religiously, conscientiously, scrupulously be- lieved that when the American people con- sidered this question, even the rulings of the Speaker and the counting of a quorum would be forgotten. [Laughter.] AND DROPS INTO PORTRY, The gentleman from Pennsylvania had fallen into poetry. He could not do so because he had had no sleep, He could only think of one verse— You may break, You may shatter the lard trust if you will, But if you listen to the testimony taken be- fore the committee on agriculture and find what pure lard is made of, you will find that the scent of the whole hog will hang around it still, [Laughter.} A SERIOUS QUESTION. Mr. Mason (Ill.) said that this was a serious question to him and to the people he repre- sented. There were very few times in his life that he could not afford to smile, but upon this occasion he desired to present to the House some serious questions for fair play and fair consideration. This was a fight between the packors of impure lard and the packers of re- ined compound lard. It was a trade fight and had no place in Con- gress. He was in favor of branding every arti- cle in the market for what it really was, He was as much opposed to food adulteration as any man in the House, The compound lard men were charged with defending fraud and counterfeiting. That charge was false, This bill struck down everything—every possible chance of exporting lard or compound lard from this country. He was not here to defend counterfeiting, but he was here to de- fend the men who manufactured a clean, healthy food product. The more hog’s lard that was taken out of it and the more cotton- seed oil put in it the purer and cleaner it was for the human stomach, No man could say that cotton-seed oil was not one of the best articles of food products discovered during the present century. it had become THE POOR MAN’s Foop. It was marked for whut it was. The working people were: not asking for this bill, They were opposed to taxing a clean, healthy food product. oe pee spoke about the pov- the erty of farmers and proposed to tax the poor laboring men of his district in order to help the farmers. Did gentlemen ever know of a farmer going hungry? Did they ever knowof a farmer to stand out in the storm with his wife and chil- dren in the presence of the landlord and the sheriff? But the laboring man who worked fourteen hours a day out of the sunshine must be taxed for a cheap, clean food product to help the farmer of the country, when no farmers’ organization had demanded it. It was proposed to have a clean food product and force the people to pay higher prices for the filthy, stinking stuff made in flats in Chicago, St. Louis and Boston. It was said that Chicago was fighting this bill. The manufacturers of lard in Chicago who used smothered hogs were not opposing the measure, which was one of THE MOST BUNGLING PIECES OF LEGISLATION which had ever come out of a committee room. He defended Mr. Fairbanks against some strictures made upon him by Mr. Brosius, deprecating the practice of members to attack men who had no opportunity for reply. It was an easy thing to strike a man with his hands tied, but it was not a brave thing todo. He then proceeded to argue in support of the Pad- dock pure food bill. ‘MR. M'RAE’S AMENDMENT. Mr. McRae (Ark.) offered an amendment to the first section of the bill by adding the follow- ing words: “‘And rendered in open kettles the process used by farmers and butchers” to the definition of ‘lard. aispill Bet ap ene TO HELP SPEAKER REED.

Sc tea THERE WILL BE A STRIKE. The Federated Railway Magnates Bound to Order the Out. New York, August 21.—The members of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor were late in making their appearance at the St. Cloud Hotel this morning. Chief Sar- gent and his companions, Messrs. Howard, Wiikinson and Sweeney, were astir long before, and at half-past 7 o'clock left the hotel to take the train for Terre Haute. Mr. Sargent said a meeting of the federation would be held there with the undoubted result that a strike on the Vanderbilt system would be ordered, As he and his three as- sociates had indorsed the action of the general executive board of the Knights of La- bor, he thoroughly believed that the supreme council of the federation would sustain it. He said also that the action of Mr. Webb last night in adhering so firmly to the stand he had taken rendered the action they had taken necessary. Mr. Webb's arbitrary methods and utter refusal to arbitrate the situation made it useless to deal with him any longer. Mr. Powderly sent word to the reporters this morning that he would have nothing to say for several hours, At 9 o'clock General Manager Toucey left his private office with a portman- teau in his hand and took a north-bound train. He refused to say where he was going, and when asked if he would visit Albany replied: ‘I may fetch up there.” Mr. Toucey said ho didn't know anything about the impending strike except what he had read in the morning papers. Vice President Webb had perused his morning mail and had dictated his letters to the stenographer when a reporter called upon him, “What of the strike, Mr. Webb?” he was asked. “You know as much about it asI do.” “Have you taken any steps so far to mect a strike if it does take place?” “I am not at liberty to say what the company is doing, but I presume that if a cri we will be prepared to meet it. Iam « now only for the New York Central roa‘ Mr. Webb added that he did not think the firemen would go out in such great numbers as has been stated and he believed the other em- ployes of the road who are not already out would for the greater part remain at their places. In other words the strike would not be nearly so gigantic as the federation and the Knights of Labor would have people believe. Mr. Webb did not doubt that the supreme council of the federation would call out the men, but he was of opinion that the number who would respond would not be so great after all, “The Lake Shore has had four or five strikes within the last couple of years,” said Mr. Webb, “and I don’t think they have many men left who belong to any labor organization.” The third vice president then announced that the railroad was being run with customary smoothness, and so far there was no indication of trouble. HOTHEADS ARE DOING IT. Knights of Labor state that Mr. Powderly’s address would not be given out until tonight. At the Grand Central depot Mr. Webb said that he was fully prepared to meet the strike when it came and that he did not anticipate that many of the employes would go out. He said of Mr. Powderly that he considered him a very sensible man, but that the hot- heads in the F and the executive board were too much for him and the result was that ters have taken the course they have. Mr. Voorhees stated that everything along the road was quiet and that trains were ii time; also that the rember of freight trains dispatched day was increasing. WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS.
