CANADIAN RELATIONS COMMITTEE, SENATE, Mr. Hale introduced a joint resolution (which was referred to the committee on public build- ings and grounds) for the erection in the Dis- trict of Columbia of a memorial building which shail be a suitable monument to the memory of U. 8, Grant, which is to contain a military and naval museum, &c., and in the inner court of which may be placed to rest the mortal re- mains of distinguished Americans, @ title indorsed on the joint resolution reads: “Providing for the erection in the District of Columbia of a suitable memorial building, in the vault of which shall be placed the mortal remains of Ulysses 8. Grant.” WOMEN AND CHILDREN EMPLOYED IN FACTORIES, The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Plumb instructing the committee on education and labor to investigate charges made ina memorial of the Woman's Industrial League as to the employment of women and children in mills and factories throughout the United States was taken up. Remarks were made by Mr. Sherman and Mr. Reagan in opposition to the Senate undertak- ing such an investigation and by Mr. Platt, Mr. Dawes and Mr. Hoar. repelling strictures iu the memorial so far as they applied to Connecticut and Massachusetts. Mr. Hoar asked Mr. Blair whether Mrs. Char- lotte Smith, president of the Woman's League, was in the employment of the committee on education and labor Mr. Blair replied fhat Mra. Smithfhad always been interested in that class of subjects, but that she had no pecuniary relations with the committee on education and labor, 1q CHARLOTTE SMITH AN EMPLOYE OF THE Com- MITTEE? Mr. Cockrell read from the memorial, in which Mrs, Charlotte Smith states that she has has been appointed by the chairman of the committee on education and labor to inves- tigate the status of workingwomen in this country, and remarked that she ought to know know whether she had an appointment from the chairman of the committee. MR. BLAIR SAYS SHE ISN'T. Mr. Blair explained that Mrs, smith probably referred to an investigation made by the com- mittee on education and labor some seven years ago, in which he was a witness, and was re- quested by the chairman of that committeo to ascertain and present some facts. But there was no appointment made and there was no such relation existing at present. Mr. Cockrell said that he would not enter into a defense of Mrs. Smith, who was well able to take care of herself. He had read what she said in the memorial, which was that ‘the president of the Woman's National League was appointed by the chairman of the Senate com- Mittee on education and iabor to investigate the status of the working women of this coun- “Mr. Blair—Does she say when? CHANGING FAMILY RECORDS Ix THE BIBLE. Mr. Cockreli—She does not say when and does not intimate that the appointment has ceased. He went on to quote from Mrs. Smith's petition a statement to the effect that in some cases in Massachusetts the record of births have been changed in the family Bibles so as to make the children appear to be oid enough to be employed in factories. This statemept was treated by Mr. Hawley and Mr. Hoar as an invention or un exaggera- tion, and Mr. Cockrell wanted to know whether those Senators were casting reflections on the source from which it emanated. Mr. Hoar also took part in the discussion and challenged some of the points mentioned by Mr. Cockrell, Mr, Cockrell said that he had not said any- thing which was not contained in en official document signed by the president and secre- tary of the Woman's League. PATERNITY OF THE PAPER, Mr. Dawes said that the paper from which Mr. Cockrell had read bore unmistakable ear- marke of its paternity. Mr. Gray—Whom do you charge with having prepared or written this papor? It would be quite interesting to know. Ido not charge anybody. general father mark. It is made up largely of statements made over and over again on the other side of the chamber in the tariff debate. These statements have been gathered up by some cunning hand that has induced Mrs. Smith, for some purpose or other, to put her name to it, THE RESOLUTION REFEERE! After some remarks by Mr. Blair intimating that Mr. Cockrell had been probably taken to task on some occasion by Mrs. Smith and was trying to get even with her the resolution was penn to the committee on education and labor, It OUR RELATIONS WITH CANADA. Aresoiution authorizing the select commit- tee on relations with Canada tocoutinue its investigations during the recess and the next session was reported from the committeo on contingent expenses and was agreed to, House bill to provide an American register for the steamer Neptuno was taken from the calendar and passed, The Senate then at 2 p.m. proceeded to the consideration of executive business, HOUSE, Mr. O’Ferrall (Va.) was the only’democrat in the chamber this morning during the delivery of the prayer. Tho clerk immediately began to call the roil on the approval of Friday's journal. The clerk having called the roll announced the pairs and recapitulated the list of those voting. The Speaker hesitated before he an- nounced the result—there being but two lack- ing of a quorum, Mr, O'Ferrail demanded that the result should be announced, In order to delay the announcement, is pare lican after republican rose and request to know how they were recorded.
