IT SLID THROUGH THE SENATE, The Pennsylvania Bill Passed Today With an Amendment. With oleaginous smoothness the McPherson- Atkinson-Baltimore-and - Potomac-ratlroad-bill slid through the Senate this afternoon. T Morrow morning will see it signed by the Vice President and sent to the House. But it did not go through without amendment, It was amended in a couple of piaces yester- day (for report of which see elsewhere in Tur Sran), but the propositions advanced did not touch the ground which so many Senators are careful of. It was feared that there lurked i some part of the scheme a word or two that might be twisted into giving the Pennsylvania company a title to the site upon which it aquatted and erected its depot. With this feeling abroad the passage of the bill was an impossibility and that it was abroud lust night isa certainty. There must have been other things abroad at a later hour, for when Senator Ingalls called the bill up this afternoon to one seemed to be paying any attention. The Senator from Kansas had, of objectors, It reads as follows: “Provided, That nothing contained in this act and no expenditure that may be made by said railroad company hereunder shall be hold or construed to give said company any right, Yes! or equitable, not now aged, to retain I passenger station of said company on 6th eet.” x Silently the Senate assented to the amend- ment, and in Jess than thirty seconds from the time when that was done the McPherson- Atkinson-Bultimore-aud-Potomac-r was passed by the Senate. Army Orders. Leave of absence for two montlis on sur- Gcon’s certificate of disability has been granted Capt. Johu B. Kerr, sixthcavalry. First Liout, Frank E.

ALSO THE BILL ABOUT U.S. COURTS. ———~ SENATE. Mr. Voorhees offered a resolution (which was referred to the committee on the library) for the purchase of the portrait of Daniel D. Tomp- Kins, a former Vico President of the United States and governor of the state of New York during the war of 1812, painted by Jarvis and now on exhibition in the Corcoran Art Gal- Jory. Mr. Frye offered a concurrent resolution (which was agreed to) directing the Secretarics Of State, Treasury, War and Navy to examine the report and recommendations of the inter- Mational marine conference of February, 1890. and fo prepare and submit to Congress bills for the enuctment into law of such recommenda- tions, so far as they apply to their respective departments and mect their approval. BULLS PASSED. The Senate then procceded to the considera- tion (for one hour) of bills ou the calendar un- objected to. The following (among others) were passed: Senate bill to refer to the Court of Claims certain claims of the Shawnee and Delaware | Indiaus and the frecdmen of the Cherokee nation. i Senate bill supplementary to an act entitled “an act to authorize the construction of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad in the District of Columbia,” with a proviso. Senate bill in recognition of the merits and services of Chief Engineer George Wallace Melville. U.S.N.. and of the other officers and men of the Jeannette Arctic expedition. It provides for the advance of Mr. Melville one grade and for medals, one of which is to be resented to each of the survivors and to the ire of the men who are dead. RIGHT HOUR CLAIMS BILL OBJECTED TO. House bill providing for the adjustment of accounts of laborers, workmen and mechanics arising under the eight-hour law having been reached on the calendar, Mr. Harris objected to its consideration under the five-minute rule and it went over without action. THE CONVICT LABOR BILL. GOES OVER. The next bill on the calendar was House bill to prevent the product of convict labor from being furnished to or for the use of any depart- ment of the government and to prevent the product of convict labor from being used upon ublic buildings or other public works, but the Boar assigned for the calegdar having expired while Mr. Cockrell was inquiring whether a re- port accompanied the bill, the bill went over without action, SOLDIERS’ HOME MANAGERS. The conference report on the House joint resolution to increase the number of the board of managers of the national home for disabled volunteer soldiers and to fill vacan- cies in such board was presented, explained by Mr. Hawley and agreed to. It provides tor a board of eicven members and names the following managers: Edmund N. Mor- rill of Kansas (for the unexpired term of Johu A. Martin, deceased), Alfred L.

RESOLUTION TO EXCLUDE KENNEDY'S SPEECH FROM THY RECORD. Mr. Stewart (Vt.), from the committee on judiciary, reported the following resolution: Tho House deeming it a high duty that the utmost wt and decorum demanded by parliamentary law and precedent should mark the mutaal relations of the two houses of Con- gress does hereby express its disapproval of the unparliamentary language used by the Hon. Robert P. Kennedy, a Representative from the state of Ohio, in Lis speech delivered on the floor of the House on the 3d day of Septem- ber, 1890, and published in the Congressional Record of a reenges 14, 1891, and considering it impracticable to separate the unparliamen- tary portion oi said speech from such paris thereof as may be parliamentary; therefore, be it further Resolved, That the public printer be directed to exclude from the permanent Congressional Record the entire kpeech of Hon, Robert P. Kennedy in the first resolution mentioned. MR. KENNEDY IN M18 OWN BEHALF. Mr. Kennedy requested to be heard in his own behalf. At first there was a disposition shown to refuse him this request, but after Mr. Oates( Ala. )said that while he concurred in the report he thought that the gentleman should be heard, and after Mr. Boutelle (Maine) de- clared that it wouid be an outrage to deny hima ; the request, Mr. Kennedy was accorded the floor for twenty minutes. Mr. Kennedy said that he had asked the com- mittee on the judiciary cither to let his speech appear in the Record entire or to entire. He was willing to st: people of America on that speech, believing ‘hat the people of this country in their first judgment and in their sober second judgment would approve the words he had uttered. Referring to the portion of the speech de- livered in Philadelphin = lastnight by Speaker Reed, in which the Speaker spoke of the House as being the representative body of the people, he said that he knew of no parliamentary body in the laud that represented the people of the United States 60 tully, so completely and so entirely as the body to which he belonged, If the peo- ple of the United States were not to be heard > — floor or. what floor couid they be heard? @ ha REAED FROM THE COUNTY. It had been charged by a few persons that he had given aid and comfort to the democratic Party. What were the indications that he had done so? He held in his hand clippings from newspapers throughout ail America, and in ail that list there was not one single democratic paper which had approved his speech, But there were hundreds and hundreds of clip- pings from republican papers, and with one or two exceptions they approved his words, He also held in his hand letters from every sec- tion of the land, from Maine to California and from the lakes to the gulf, indorsing the words, letter and spirit of his speech. He was WILLING TO STAND BEFORE THE PEOPLE of the country and wait for their indorsement. The party to which he belonged had pledged in its. platform and during the campaign to perform certain duties and fulfill cer- tain promisea. One of theve pledges, he said—the first and greatest pledge— was that the republican party would put in the statute books of the land a jaw for the pro- tection of every citizen. high or low, rich or , white or black, so that he could go to the allot box. deposit his vote and have it counted. It was because bis party had feiled to do that that he has stood upon thi- floor and spoken of broken pledges and broken promises. This House had performed its pledges. and as_ the Speaker said in Maine the other day, it had re- deemed every promise made to the people. THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

The court } the substitute and the trial of the accused was ject down for tomorrow, C. E. Keach, counsel for Buett, in explain’ to the court the reasou for Buett's change base, said that the Pinkerton and railroad de- tectives had kept counsel and all others away from the man until they bad persuaded to plead guilty; that there was no evidence in the case to convict; that the pretended confesmons were valueless and that Buett broke down aud wept when he (each) first approached him to talk about the case. ini = — " WILL ARKIVE TONIGHT, | Departure of the President ina Private Car From Cresson.

Every point in tho damaging evidence ad- vanced by the crown is being opposed with masteriy skill by the defense, but the grim line of evidence remains unbroken.

He was ready and Waiting for the deputy sheriff when the latter arrived in a heck, It has been reported that Birchall is hand- cuffed on the way to and from the court room, butsuch is mot the case. He is the quietest, most easy-going prisoner any jailer ever had to do with, and neither compiains nor gives trouble in any way. There was the usual great crowd at the town hall entrance to see him pass, and his appearance was warmly criticised by many. Birchall has raised up in the community two clearly defined parties, one in his favor and the other against him. The latter ny are the more numerous and they are aving their own way pretty well during the preseutation of the case for the prosecution, but the prisoner's frieuds are stalwart and are quite convinced either that be 1s innocent or that it will be impossible to prove him nilty. Birchall le: immediately became the focus for yes. He stood the scrutiny with non- chalauce, sometimes smiling in recognition at somebody heknew. He wore a black tie and standing collar this morning and looked as neatasapin. The terrible chain of evidence that is being forged by the prosecution appears to have no effect on him and he list im, sively to the wituosses, Neither Mra.

He ssid both builets passed through the brain. either wound being sufficient to produce death; that the wound im the back of the head was made first and the bullet passed upward and forward; that the hair near both wounds was singed, showing that the pistol was held close to the victims head. The builets were of 32 caliber. Death was instantaneous—so sudden that the heart stopped on the half beat. He thought death occurred four days before the body was found. He found marks in the groin and pit of th stomach, but thought such marks could hav been made by Benwell falling from angupright position. —$ DEPLORABLY INEFFICIENT, OMctal Inquiry Reveals the State of Berlin’s Fire Brigade. Loxpon, Sept. 24.—The recent fire in Berlin, resulting iu the death of three persons and the injury of eleven, all occupants of one house, as been the subject of a careful official in- quiry, with» view to discovering the roason for suchacalamity. The investigation was all the more rigid because of the fact that this recorded within the past eighteen months of | particular fire had been preceded by numerous property on this and the adjoining squares that, it is held,show a market value below what is zow being asked for the luts. If this viow prevails with the Secretary, according to the terms of the act providing for the purchase of the land, it will be necessary for the Secretary to disre- gard the bids and apply to the courts for con- demnation, It 1s not quite certain just what method he will adopt to determine the fairness of the prices asked. IT 18 AN UNUSUAL TRING for Congress to provide for a public building and select the site, the custom being to appro- priate a certain eum for the building another amount for the site and leave it for t ‘Treasury to determine the best means of ob- taining the land. This was the method in the case of the Government Printing Ottice. The new method is working to disad- vantage of the citizens of the District, who need the additional accommodations of the new city post office. Lhe process of con- demuation is cumbersome and costly.

The report on the inquiry calls for a thorough reorganization of the brigade. Unsatisfactory buildings erected in recent years, during the growth of the city over new terri- tory, are of much fiimsier, though more showy character as « rule, than those in the older of the city and are therefore more subject to rapid destruction by fire.
