The Filibusters Active and De- termined Today. O'FERRALL LEADS THE FORCES. ee SENATE. ‘Mr. Morgan offered a resolution, which went over till tomorrow, calling on the Secretary of the Interior for a statement concerning the land claims of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. He also offered a resolution em- bodying instructions to the Senate conferees onthe land forfeiture bill in relation to the lands of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com- pany and other companies, Laid on the table for future action, MR. HOAR OX THE RECIPROCITY PROPOSITION, The tariff bill was taken up—the question being on its passage—and six hours being al- lowed to close the discussion, after which the vote is tobe taken. Mr. Hoar, referring to the reciprocity proposition, said that he had voted for it yesterday with some hesitation, and should not have done so if he had thought that the scheme contained in the amendment was allthat was likely to come out of the entering on that policy. There were some great constitutional diffi- culties in the way, which had been ably stated by Mr. Evarts, He thought, also, that on the one side the reciprocal exchanges were ir.com- plete and that they contained one or two arti- cles—especially tea and hides—that had to be dealt with solely in the view of internal in- torests, and without relation to the ef- fect on other countries of their being taxed or untaxed. He thought also that in the forefront of any policy on that question the United States should deter- mine to put an end, as far as legislation could do it, to the practice of foreign nations im- osing export duties on products used hore. ie would have such products coming from such nations excluded altogether from Amer- ican ports if they could be supplied from elsewhere. He, however, regarded the amend- ment rather as a declaration of purpose than as a definition of legislative policy, and it was in that view that he had given it his support, MR. HISCOCK ARRAIGNS THE DEMOCRATS. Mr. Hiscock commenced his speech with a bitter arraignment of democrat'c Senators who, he said, had surpassed their predecessors and themselves in charlatanism, demogogism, misrepresentation and insincere professions of devotion to the industrial interests of the country. Every effort to provide tree homes and secure free speech for the laboring classes had been resisted by the democratic party up to 1861, by every method which s'atesmanship could devise and rnftianism ex- ecute, and the last great effort had culminated im civil war. And that party had, since then, opposed all measures that looked to the eleva- tion and to the assurance of equal rights of the laboring classes of the old slave states, ‘Those classes had been TERRORIZED BY ABSASSINATION, and the most violent methods had been re- sorted to to subjugate them in defiance of con- stitational guarantees, The manuiacturers of England, France and Germany, by the aid of their natural allies—democratic Senators—hed ‘made an open fight to degrade American labor and bankrupt American capital. There never had been atime within hismem- ory when foreign agents bad such free access to committee rooms and were so active in fur- nishing aid to American -representatives in order to retard the progress of wise levisiation, And yet the representatives of the éemocratic party, with an unparalled audacity, proclaimed that the motive which actuated them was the elevation of American labor and the prosperity of American industries and of the common country. COMING DIRECTLY TO THE TARIFF BILL, Mr. Hiscock asserted that it had not been con- structed with a view to injure commerce, but rather to create and foster commerce. Its ef- fects would be so beneficial that it would re- maina long time undisturbed, and even the democrats would change “ontand r-orlaim their devotion to the prin {le of prot. ction, He went on to compare i... administranon of Mr. Uarrison with that of Mr. Cleveland, and said that the benefits which had resulted from a republican administration of public affairs was forcibly illustrated by a compurison of the financial operations of the Treasury Department. ‘The largest increase in the internal revenue receipts in any one ear during Mr. Cleveland's administration had been $6,568. while, without any change in the law, the increase of oallections for the first full year of Harrison's administration had been $11,700,000. This guin might fairly, he said, be credited to REPUBLICAN HONESTY AND EFFICIENCY in that one branch of the Treasury Depart- ment. The average cost of coilections under Cleveland had been 3.36 per cent, under Har- rison only 29 per cent, The surplus on the Ist of March, 1889, had been forty-oight millions, There were then no United States bonds that cpuld be called for redemption, and the purchasts in the latter part of the Cleveland administration had not only greatly reduced the supply of bonds inthe market, but had enhanced the prices to 129 for 4’3 and 109 for 434's, Notwithstanding these unfavorable conditions there had beeu purchased during the past eighteen months of Mr. Harrison’s administra- tion, $151,000,000 of those two classes of bond, and there had also been redeemed at par about $20,000,000 of 414 per cent bonds, making a to- tal reduction of tuc intcrest-bearing debt of about $171,000,000 as compared with a reduc- tion of about $62,000,000 in the corresponding period of the Cleveland adaiinistration. WISDOM OF THE REPUBLICAN SILVER POLICY. The wisdom of the republican policy with regard to silvor was already, Mr. His¢ock said, apparent in the increased prosperity of the country, The late administration had been content with denouncing the silver-coinage act and demanding its repeal without offering anything in its place, But the present administration had ecarn- estly urged the pnssage of measni providing for a largely incroased use of silver in circulation; e leading features of that administrative policy had since been enneted into law. When the present Congress met last December tho price of wheat in Chicago had been 79 cents per bushel, on August 33 it had been one dollar and one cent per bushel, making an snaee of 22 cents a bushel since the opening of the republican Congress, ‘The total increase in the value of the whent of the corn — eroy ,000, of the Oat s crop 108,000,000. Nearly all other farm products, he said, had advanced it like mauner, and if to them were added the in- pene — a impeons of industry the grand total wo largely exceed a thousand million dollars, MR. GIBSON OX THE SUGAR SCHEDULE. ‘Mr. Gibson called attention to some points in tho sugar schedule, under which, he said, the whole sugar crop of Louisiana would bo the market at « sacrifice of is forced upon not Jess than a million ora million enda half, which would be added to the profits of the trust. ve the It was true that the laborers of Europe were often very illy paid in some lines, but in United States also they Were often very wretchedly paid. If American wages were si — to wages in other coun- tries it was a subject for rejoicing, but it was no reason why the American laborer should bo subjected to unnecessary exactions or to unjust taxation. Wages in the United States might be much higher than in Europe and yot be much lower than justice or equity required. They did not denend on tariff legislation. protective or prohibitory. They did not depend on any legislation. 2 The’ influence of the movement of John Burns and his dockmen of the Thames waswnot confined to London, to Englandor to the United States, It had been felt by free labor evorywhere, Mr. Vest was the next speaker. HOUSE, Just before the honrof noona page ap- peared bearing in his arms the emblem of the state of Maine—a pine tree—planted in a bed of maiden-hair fern and surmounted by a small silk American flag, and placed it on the Speaker's desk with the beautiful floral tribute of the engrossing clerks, mentioned elsewhere, The House was called to order by Speaker protem. Burrows and prayer was offered by the chaplain. After which Mr. O'Ferrall (Va.) raised the point that there was no quorum pres- ent, ‘The Speaker pro tem, being unable to count aquorum Mr. Haugen (Wis) moved a call of the House, ‘The call was ordered—yeas 88, nays 44—but failed to disclose a quorum, Mr. Haugen offered a resolution for the arrest of absentees, ’ pending which Mr. O'Fer- rall moved an adjournment, ‘Lhe motion was lost—yeas, 50; nays, 92—the Speaker pro tem. announcing, however, that he was advised that there were 172 members present, Mr. Hangen thereupon moved to dis- pense with further proceedings under the call. ‘This was agreed to—yeas 121. nays 15. The Speaker pro tem then directed the clerk to read the journal of yesterday's proceedings. Mr, O'Ferrall again raised the point that there was no quorum present. The Speaker pro tem announced that though on the last yote no quorum had voted (no quo- rum being necessary) on the previous vote, there had been more than a quorum pres- ent, and he again directed the clerk to read the journal, which the clerk roceeded to do, despite the protests of Ir. Breckinridge (Ky.) and Mr. O'Ferrall, the lutter of whom declared that he wanted to five notice that he meant business in this case, Mr. O’Ferrall demanded the reading in the unabridged form. es CAPITOL GLEANINGS, Nominations Confirmed, Among Them Mr. Ross for District Commissioner.

Two Deaths Resulting From the Former Epidemic.

He said: “Gentle- men, this welcome is the more gratifying be- cause itis in a measure unexpected. About me is tho largest representation of the organiza- | tion of the New York Central road that daring | my presidericy has been gathered in any one | pince. I take it as a testimony to the fact that the organization of the | New York Central road is a unit in its policy and its actions, {Cheers} I am wot here to dis- enss the questions which have been so ably dis- | eussed by Mr. Loomis, but to say that my two months’ vacation, which was entered upon at | the usual date and from which I have returned at the usual of tho road in the hands of the duly accredited officers, whom the directory believed were fully competent to manage it ia any difficulties that might arise, and the: demonstrated that that confidence has not been misplaced.
