Mr. Morrill introduced a joint resolution for the appointment on the board of regents of the Smithsonian Institution of Wm. Preston John- son of Louisiana in place of Noah Porter of Connecticut, resigned. Laid on the table. A FOURTH ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENERAL. On motion of Mr. Sawyer Senate bill creating the office of fourth assistant postmaster general (with a salary of £4,000 a year) was taken from remarks made by Mr. Lewis . He de- the calendar and the report in favor of it read. | nied (as stated by Mr. Lewis) that the murder Mr. Reagan admitted that there might be of Matthews was attributable to other than po- necessity for the new office, but said that if | litical cause. there was it was on account of the vicious and bad policy that had been established—the car- tying of fourth-class matter at one cent pound and the carrying of merchandixe—the government thus doing the work of common carriers. Mr. Edmunds asked Mr. Reagan whether the charges were not equal to the actual expenses of doing business—the transportation and at- ntion. Mr. Reagan did not think they were. If a Bible or school book were sent through the mails it would have to pay eight cents a pound, while yellow-covered literature, with its poison ous influences, and newspapers were carried at one cent a pound. Instoad of multiplying of- fices the better way would be todo away with abuses in the service. After further discussion the bill was passed. THE APPORTIONMENT BILL TAKEX UP. At the close of the morning hour (12 o'clock) the Senate proceeded to the consideration of the apportionment bill as the unfinished busi- \d Mr. Edmunds addressed the Senate, caliing its attention to the fact that the bill took no cognizance whatever of the provisions of-the fourteenth amendment to the Consti tion that, in case the right of suffrage be denied or abridged in any state, the representation of that state shall be diminished accordingly. The Senate then proceeded to vote on the amendments prepared by the minority—the first being to increase the representation of Ar- kansas from 6 to 7. VOTING ON AMENDMENTS. The amendment was rejected—yeas, 32; nays, 33. All the democratic Senators voted for the amendment and were reinforced by five repub- lican Senators—Messrs. Davis, McMillan, Pad- dock, Stewart and Washburn. ‘The next amendment was to increase the representation of Minnesota from 7 to 8. it was also rejected—yeas, 31; nays, 32 On this vote Mr. Casey voted with the dem- cerats, of whom two less voted than on the preceding vote. ‘The next amendment was to increase the representatior. of Missouri from 15 to 16. it was rejected—yeas, 30: nays, 38. The only republicans voting aye on this amendment were Mesers. Davis, Paddock and Washburn. Messrs. Casey, McMillan and Stewart voted no. The next amendment was to increase the presentation of New York from $4 to35. It ~-rejected—year, 29; nays, 33; Messrs. Davis and Paddock being the only republicans voting in the affirmative. Mr. Davis then withdrew the amendment fixing the total number of Representatives at 360. Mr. Berry offered an amendment fixing the total number at 359 and giving an additional member to Arkansas, Minnesota and New York; and desired to have it voted on as one amendment. A division of it, however, was insisted on by Mr. Hale. Mr. Hele then moved to lay the amendment on the table and that motion was agreed to— yeas, 38; nay, 29. ‘The only republicans who ¥oted in the negative were Messrt. Davis and Washburn. OBJECTIONS TO THE. BILL. Mr. Vest stated why he could not vote for the Dill; it was because a large fraction of popula- tion in the states of Michigan, Minnesota, Arkansas and New York was left entirely with- out representation. Mr. Gorman also opposed the bill because, in his belief, a re-enumeration should have been made in the city of New York, where there was a deficit of some 200,006’ in the census returns as taken, use he believed that that state and the states of Arkansas, Minnesota and Missouri should have an additional representative. He thought that, in fairness to all, the apportion- ment should ‘have been left to later in the session. Mr. Jones (Ark.) declared his state the census returns were very def and that if the truth were known Arkan 8 population enough toentitle her to Represertatives, : With the number of representatives fixed io the had enough of trials and troubles and culties in connection with presidential elections to admonish Congress to exercise the most extreme care in the matter and to make thelaw perfectly clear and definite. ‘THE BILL PASSED. The bill was then passed exactly as it came from the House: Yeas, 87; nays, 2% (@ strict party vote). ‘THE EIGHT-HOUR Law. The Senate then, on motion of Mr. Blair, took of accounts of labor a (imeige rae ees urlaw. Ithar Gevetere eee eso 4 that the amy spsecreen bill be taken up and p! with. being made, Mr. Allen, who made Sieaere ny aecars That m to, th we i Gf ! spe-| any transactions relative thereto. He had upon Owenby at the Hotel Richelieu in Chi- cago. ‘tr. Frank inquired whether Owenby had been told that he would be entitled to mileage and fees. Mr. Dingley said that the committee had considered the matter, but that so far as he knew no information had been given toOwenby as to his mileage. XO INTENTION TO OBSTRUCT THE INVESTIGATION. Mr. Frank declared that he had no intention of obstructing any effort to secure the attend- ance of the witness; but if the witness had de- manded mileage and fees he (Mr. Frank) thought that he would be entitled to both be- fore responding to the subpena. There was nothing to indicate what Owenby's reply to the subpoena had been. refore it seemed to him that it would be well to go slow before passing such a drastic order as this. Before ing it it would be well for the House to know that it wasable to enforce the order. After a brief legal discussion as to the power of the House to compel the attendance of wit- nesses the report was agreed to as a preamble to the order, and, as amended, the order was made. ‘The committee of the whole then resumed its session. ‘THE MURDER OF MATTHEWS. Matters ran very smoothly for a while, until the murder of Matthews, the postmaster of Carrollton, Miss., was brought up by Mr.Keiley (Kan.), ina speoch in which he criticised some He had authority to say that Matthews had been killed because he’ was a republican. ‘The gentleman from Mississippi premises bis re- marks with a quotation to the pffcct that noth- ing but good should be said of the dead, but heaped slanders upon adead man which he would not have heaped if the man had been living. He (Mr. Kelley) denied the statements made by the gentleman in regard to the char- acter of Matthews. Mr. Flower (N.¥.) said that he had beard the gentleman from Kansas makespeeches pitching into the distinguished gentleman from Arkan- sas (Mr, Breckinridge’. ‘That gentleman had been returned to Congress, while the constitu- ents of the gentleman from Kansas had turned him down.” The more of such speeches the gentleman from Kansas made better it would be for the democratic party. ecouslarce ima tures to AGAINST FREE COINAGE. ‘The Boston Delegation Before the House Coin- age Committee. The House committee on coinage, weights and measures today heard further argument by the delegation of Bobton business men in opposition to the free coinage bill. Arguments were made against the bill by Gen. Walker, president of the Boston Collegeof Technology; Mr. Endicott, president of the Savings Dank of Boston; Mr. Hooper, treasurer of Harvard Uni- versity; Prof. Taussig of Harvard, Mr. Jack- son, a stockbroker, and Mr. Breed, all from Boston. Mr. Walker argued that if the ding bill becnmne © law Sioetcons senaian to ees roperty of the country would follow; that all branches of trade would become paralyzed and dirturbed and thatthe financial credit of the United States would be ed. He believed the pending bill to be a menace to the country and contended that it would result simply in stripping us of our gold and reducing us to the lines of second-class financial powers. Mr. Breed, representing alarge number of manufacturers of Boston, protested against any ghange in the present standard of ‘value and Mr. Jackson thought that the constant agitation of the silver question by Congress was detri- mental to stability in the money market and predicted a panic unless the question was settled ‘one way or the other. The arguments generally consisted of a recital of personal views on the subject ang embarrassments that had been en- countered, owing to the stringency of the mar- ket caused by the recent agitation of the silver question. ¥R. HOLDEN'S TELEGRAM. A telegram was handed to the committee from E. B. Holden, a Colorado miner, now in New York, reading as follows: Fifty cent etary 2g produced in the Unit states is found silver ore. Are the gentiemen of Boston aware of this fact? They are not. If they were they would not attempt to interfere with the industry of silver miaing. If free coinage is defeated it wili seriously in- jure the sil industry and conse- quently reduce the supply of gold produced in the United States, whereas, on other hand, free coinage of silver will stimu- late mining generally and increase the supply of gold. If this condition obtains will gold be ata premium? I defy the Boston gold advo- cates to maintain such a position. ‘The committee then adjourned until tomor- row, when Director Leech will be hear4. ———__ THE SILVER POOL. Representative Ketcham Denies Having Been Interested in Silver Speculation. Congressman J. H. Ketcham was examined by the silver pool investigation committee this morning. He appeared before the committee voluntarily, and declared that the statement which had been published yesterday connect- ing his name with silver speculations was un- qualifiedly false. He had never bought or sold an ounce of silver in his life, nor engaged in never owned a silver certificate, nor had he been mixed up with silver speculation in any way.
