An adjournment of Congress is expected at the close of next week, but there are several things suggested on this hand and on that which may provoke contests and prolong the session, Ashort and sharp fight is expected over the Senate amendments to the sugur schedule. It is possible that the conferces will agree on all other questions at issue and report a disagreement on this schedule, so as to get a direct vote by the House. The Senate committco is firm in its sition and the free sugar men in the House protest that they will never yield. The chances are, however, that a compromise will be reached speedily. The conference renort will probably be made to the House by Friday, Efforts to Pardon Mr. Buin. The friends of Mr. R. T. K. Bain, the late di- rector of the Exchange National Bank at Nor- folk, who was the last of the bank officers tried and sentenced to serve a term of five years in the Albany penitentiary, are endeavoring to have him pardoned, A very strong petition signed by heavy depositors in the bank at the time of its failure and a number of ministers, was forwarded to President Harrison some e ago and was referred by him to the At- torney General, Disirict Attorney T. R. Bor- land received the papers from the Attorney General the first of last week and forwarded the petition to Judge Robt. W. Hughes of the Circuit Court with a favorable recommends- tion for clemency. Judge Hughes is at his home in Abingdon, and frionds of Mr. Bain have carried the petition to him there. No Useto Apply.

He however, resigned, and therefore there peg at the Police Court, Judge Miller has, however, received a number of applica- tions one Pensa thay of Mr. Ae man to fill the position, The Proposed Condemnation of Ken- nedy’s Speech in the House. “THE DIGNITY OF THE HOUSE.” Railroad Land Forfeiture Bill Passed in the Senate. ALSO THE ANTI-LOTTERY BILL, SENATE. The Sonate met at 11 a.m. with Vice Presi- dent Morton in the chair. The Senate biil giving (on conditions and Mmitations) the assent of the United States to certain leases of rights to mine coal in the Choctaw nation was reported from the com- mittee on Indian affairs and placed on the cal- ender, Mr. Hiscock introduced a bill to authorize the construction of a tunnel under the waters of the Bay of New York between Middletown, Staten Isiand and New Utrecht, L.L. Referred to the committee on commerce. BILLS PASSED. The House bill to provide for the holding of the regular terms of the circuit and district courts of the western district of Virginia was taken from the calendar and passed (with amendments. ) Also the House bill to authorize the Secre- tary of the Interior to sell certain lands and to are the proceeds of such sale to the town of Polican, Oneida county, Wis., for school pur- eB, Also the Senate bill to authorize the Seneca nation of New York Indians to lease lands within the Cattaraugas and Alleghany reserva- tions and to confirm existing leases, ‘The Senate then proceeded to'consider (for one hour) bills on the calendar unobjected to. QUESTIONING THE UTILITY OF A PROPOSED PUR- CHASE. The first bill on the calendar being the Senate bill authorizing the librarian of Con- Gress to purchase (at not exceeding $30,000) Townsend’s library of national, state and in- dividual records concerning the origin, progress and consequences of the late civil war, Mr. Cockrell questioned the utility of the proposed purchase and commented upon Mr. Evarts aving reported it, and having also reported another bill appropriating 250,000 for another book—a roster of the war—that would be of use only to pension sharks. MR. EVARTS EXPLAINS, Mr. Evarts said that he had reported both of the bills by order of the joint library commit- tee. He would say nothing now about the roster, as that bill was not before the Senate. Mr. Spofford, the librarian of Congress, had recommended the purchase of the collection and tho bill had received the approval of every member of the committee. It was a compila- tion, Mr. Evarts said, made from day to day, during the progress of the eventa Ivcon- sisted of 88 large folio volumes containing 700 or 800 pages each, with a large index of 25 vol- umes. It was a work of great labor and (ac- cording to Mr. Spofford) of great accuracy and completeness, te was represented as being equally impartial and perhaps equally fall reference to events on the confederate side. Itshould belong to the United States and be accessible to historians and readers, , Its value could not be overestimated. There was not a question of job or profit in it, The discussion was continued by Messrs. Hawley, Gibson, Hampton, Manderson and Blair in favor of the bill, and by Messrs. Berry, Walthall and Reagan in opposition, A PROPORED AMENDMENT. . Mr. Walthall moved to amend the bill by in- serting a proviso that the librarian shall exam- ine the work carefully and see that it contains nothing that is not authentic history. THE BILL PASsED. The amendment was rejected—yeas $2—and the bill was passed—yeas 27, nays 17, The hour assigned for the calendar was en- tirely consumed in the consideration of this bill. 12, nays Senate bill to authorize the construction of a ontoon bridge across the Arkansas river at Dardanelle, Ark., was (on motion of Mr. Berry) taken from the calendar and passed, Senate bill granting right of way to the Jamestown and Northern lailroad Company through the Devil's Lake Indian reservation, N.D., was reported and placed on the calendar, MORE BILLS PASSED. On motion of Mr. Piumb the Senate resumed consideration of billson the calendar unob- jected to. The following bills were passed: House bill marking the lines of battle and tho positions of troopsof the army of northern Virginia at Gettysburg, Pa. Senate bill to grant the right of way through the public lands for irrigation purposes, Senate bill to provide tor the reappraisal and sale of the unsold portion of the grounds and the buildings thereon known as the Dearborn arsenal in the state of Michigan. Senate bill appropriating $75.000 for a public building at Jar Harbor. Me. Senate bill appropriating 10,000 for im- provement of the road to the national cometery near Pensacola, Fla. Senate bil for the relief of Emil M. Blum, Inte commissioner gencrat to the Barcelona ex- position, MR. MORGAN RESUMES MIS REMARKS. The conference report on the railroad land forfeiture bill was resumed and Mr, Morgan continued his argument against it. He spoke of the first section of the bili as uuconstitu- tional and said that the bill was a mere sham and pretense as a forfeiture bill. IT GAVE EVERYTHING TO THE COMPANIES and nothing to the United States, No Senator should vote@for it merely because it profossed to be a forfeituro bill, ‘here never would be & foot land RAILROAD of forfeited under it, while good deal of land would be ven away that could be reached ya bill in proper form, As far as the North- ern Pacific railroad was concerned the bill only applicd to the 225 miles of road between Wal- tula and Portland, which was not yet built, A8 TO THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD, the Jand grant forfciture was not worth the $uap of a man's finger. What lands, then, would the bill forfeit? It would forfeit the lands of one little lino from Gadsden, Ala, up toward Chattanooga, the company for the construction of which had never been even organized, and for which « claim had never been made. Nobody had ever disputed that those lands belonged to the government, WHAT ELSE DOFS THE GOVERNMENT GET under the pending bill? Nothing whatever ex- cept the lands for the 225 miles of line between Wallula and Portland, and yet the bill was called aland grant forfeiture bill. It wasa mere sham and pretense—nothing but a mere political performance invented to get up the idea that Congress was forfeiting railroad land grants, while the whole of the provisions of the bill were to confirm the title of the great railway companies to their lands. TRE CONFERENCE REPORT AGREED To, The conference report on the railroad land forfeiture bill was agreed to—yeas 30, nays 13— the democrats voting in the negative and the re- publicans in tho affirmative, THE ANTI-LOTTERY BILL PASSED, ‘Tho House enti-lottery bill was taken up, read and passed. On motion of Mr. Plumb the Senate pro- ceeded to the consideration of the House bill to repeal timbor-culture laws, HOUSE. On motion of Mr. Taylor (Tenn.) Senate bill Carter.

Senate amendments were concurredin to the House bill authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to submit yr eae for the sale of the western part of the Crow Indian reservation in Mon- tana. THE ENLOE RESOLUTION. The House then proceeded to the considera- tion of the Enloe resolution relative to the Kennedy speech. The resolution is as follows: Resolved, That the clerk of the House of Representatives be, and heis hereby, directed to communicate to the Senate the fact that the House reprobates and condemns the unparliamentary lan- guago of Ifon. Robert P. Kennedy, a Repre- sentative from the state of Ohio, published in the Congressional Record of September 14, 1890, purporting to be a speech delivered on the floor of the Honse September 3, 1893, in which revised and amended speech he repeats his impeachment of the honesty of Senators individually and of the Senators as a body. The pending question was on the point of order raised against the resolution by Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio. THE BROOKS-SUMNER EPISODE RECALLED. Mr. Blount (Ga.), in arguing the point of order, recalled the Brooks-Sumner episode and cited the action of the House in that case, The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Kennedy) had been so indignant atthe action of a certain Senator that he had proceeded to denounce him in vig- orous language. The Senator had been de- hounced as a felon and a traitor. He had been charged with colleaguing with another Senator to betray an obiigation ha owed to the country. Whenever a member of this body arraigned a Senator as a folon anda traitor by reason of his conduct in regard to legislation there could be no qucs- tion but that the character of the House was assailed. If there was any question about it here the public interest manifested through- out the country showed the public conception of the attitude of the gentleman from Ohio and the duty of the House. He (Mr. Blount) was not here to vindicate tho character of the Senator from Pennaylvyania. He was not here to —_ investigate whether or not the charges made by the gen- tleman from Ohio were truce or not, These were matters with which no member had anything to do, but the question of the character and dignity of the House was one with which members had something to do and for which the people would hold them to a rigid responsibility. Here was a case where a member of the other body was deliberately, carefully and solemnly denounced for his public conduct in the Senate. A DEVICE TO ESCAPE RESPONSIBILITY. Would it be said that the gentleman had spoken of the chairman of the republican national committee? What had the chairman of the republican national committee to do with the Senate chamber? The gentleman had re- ferred to the Senator from Pennsylvania and the designation of him as the chairman of the re- publican national committee was merely a d vice to escape responsibility. The Speaker, in rendering his dicision, said that there could be no doubt that ‘the legislative pro- ceedings of the two co-ordinate branches of the legislature would be very much im- peded if improper reflections were allowed by the members of the one body upon the mem- bers of the other, This was so plain, so well established, that it seemed unnecessary to say a word in regard to it. It was founded jon that principle which caused members of the House to speak of each other by a phrase rather than by name. It was intended, as far as possible, to keep personal fecling ont of legisiation,’ and the chair was very “gind, not only for tho advantage ofthe relations between the Honse and the Senate, but for the advantage of the relation among members of the House that this ques- tion shonid be passed upon in such a manner a8 would make wn impression upon all. The chair therefore overruled the point of order. PROPOSING A REFERENCE. Mr. Bayne (Pa.) offered a resolution re- ferring the Enloe resolution, together with Mr. Kennedy's speech, to the committee on judiciary with instructions to that committee | examine the speech and the rules and ractice regulating debates and report its ndings to the House within three days. Mr, Enloe thought there was no occasion for sending the resolution to any committee. The facts were before the House and there was no judicial question involved. Mr. MeMillin (Tenn. ) thought that the House should purge its record of such calumny as was found in the speech of the gentleman from Ohio. There was but one thing tor the House to do. It could not censure the gentleman; it could not expel him, and it could not afford to let its Record be encumbered with vile catum- nies, Ie (Mr. McMillin) was not here to defend the Senator who had been at- tacked, .Ho was not here to say whether the charges against the Senator were truc or false. The question was whether the rules of the Honse should be observed. Re- ferring to recent disorderly scenes on the flour of the House he said that he spoke of them with blushing and in shame, Language had been used which he would not repeat here or cisewhere, and the scenes had culminated ina fist fight. Was this thing to have no end? Was the Honse to be converted mto a bear garden? Was the pugilist and not the statesman to be in chief requisition? For one, he thought that the House should act and act now. Mr. Dalzell (Pa.) said that the specch of the geutleman from Qhio had been delivered while an election —_case had been under consideration. The floor had been accorded him on consideration that he speak after the usual time for ad- journment. This accounted for _ the fact that there were no Pennsylvania | mombers present. Upon reading the report of the speech in the press dispatches, the Penn- sylv delegation had drawn up a on substantially similar to th offered by the gentleman from Tennes: but it had arrived at the conclusion that such a resolution would not be in order without a citation of the Jan- guage complained of. ‘The delegation had thereupon decided that the resolution could not be offered until the speech was printed in the Record. CAPITOL GLEANINGS. The House Asks for a Conference on Senate Amendments to the Tariff Bill. The House yesterday formally non-concurred in the Senate amendments to the tariff bill and asked for a conference. The vote stood 120 to 82, FORZION STEEL IN AMERICAN SIIPS. The House committee on naval affairs has decided to report favorably Representative Chipman’s resolution calling on the Secretary of the Navy for information as to whether certain companies engaged in supplying steel forgings for use in the construction of naval vessels have been using foreign steel in viola- tion of law.

The withdrawal of some of the most important lines from the Interstate Association deprived the railways of an influence which, although it could not pre- vent reductions of rates. yet oxerted « most wholeso.ae restraint and saved much revenue, Itis not appagen: Low.a more effective ment can be devised, The conditions which have led to low rates on competitive trafic have also reduced rates on local traffic through the operations of the long and short haul clause of the interstate law. It is easy to aay that these results can be avoided by simply obeying the law ang maintaining rates, Obedi- ence to the law will cure some of the evils that have prevailed, but will not enable inferior lines to compete with superior lines on even terms and secure a sufficient share of the traftie to support them. —_ COMING TO WASHINGTON, A Test Case Over Wisconsin Lands Goes Against a Railroad Company.
