SOME HOT INVECTIVES EXCHANGED. Mr, McComas and Mr. Fitch Have a Lively Tilt. NAVAL BILL IN THE SENATE. SENATE, Mr. Ransom, from the committee om private land claims, reported a resolution requesting the Secretary of the Interior to suspend all fur- ther action in regard to admitting land claims on the island of Anastasia, Fla., during the present session of Congress. He explained that the committee had toa re on the safest Vat toad ese oat oad taken at the present session. Mr. Teller opposed the resolution on the ground that statntes could not be suspended or put in abeyance bya rosolution of either house. Mr. Pasco advocated the resolution. Mr. Hoar suggested that, 20 far as the dis- cretion of the Secretary was concerned, the ob- ject would be attained by having his attention called to the matier and letting the resolution 0 over without action. ‘Mr. itansom assented and the resolution went over. ‘TEE COURT OF CLAIMS BILL. Mr. Harris inquired of Mr. Spooner, chair- man of the committee on claims, as to a bill passed by the House for the payment of find- ings of the Court of Claims, in which bill, he sald, many Tennesseeans were interested. "Mr. Spooner explained that he had examined the testimony accompanying the findings of the court in some of the cases included in the bill and had found that it did not justify the action of the court in the matter of the loyalty of the claimants. He reason think (he might almost say he had reason to know) that during the last administration the interests of the government inthe Court of Claims had not been faithfully represented and protected. He had not, therefore, felt justified in reporting the bill. He had, however, drawn up an amendment, which he had presented to the committee this morning and which had been adopted, and he expected to report the bill and amendment to the Senate today. A SILVER RESOLUTION. Mr. Teller offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Secretary of the ‘Treasury for a list of all persons, firms or associations by whom silver bullion had been offered (under the act of July 14, 1890,) the amounts and prices; a list of those from whom silver bullion had been purchased, the amounts and prices, the basis on which an estimate is made of the market price of silver and the amounts and prices of silver bullion d outside of the United States. ‘Mr. Morgan offered a resolution (which was agreed to) calling on the Secretary of the Interior for copies of regulations for carrying into effect the land forfeiture act of September 29, 1890, including all instructions and decisions. ‘The conference report on the bill fora pub- lic building at Roanoke, Va., (reducing the amount from $100,000 to $75,000) was presented and to. BILLS PASSED. The following bills were taken from the calendar and passed: Senate bill to authorize the construction of a bridge across the St. Louis river between Wisconsin and Minnesota. Senate bill to pay to John P. Dowling, first paying teller in the subtreasury at Boston, ‘Mass., 21,808 paid by him on a check of Pay- master Goodlees with forged indorsement. THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL RESUMED. ‘The consideration of the naval appropriation bill was resumed, the pending question being on the amendment in reference to the site of a dry dock on the Pacific coast—whether on Puget sound or on the Columbie river. ‘The amendment recommended by the com- mittee on appropriations, leaving it to the Sec- retary of the Navy to decide uy the site of the dry dock, was advocated by Messrs. Dolph and Mitchell; while Mr. Allen argued in sup- Varad of his amendment fixing Port Achard, on it sound, as the site. The discussion lasted 80 long that Mr. Hale (in charge of the bill), —- = he pete to = the com- mittee amendment on the table, thus putting ‘an end to the whole thing. = HOUSE. On motion of Mr. Richardson (Tonn.) Senate amendment to House bill to fix the rate of wages of certain employes of the government printing office was non-concurred in. On motion of Mr. Cutcheon (Mfich.) Senate Dill was passed to establisn a record and pen- sion office in the War Department. ‘Also Senate bill providing for the selection of ‘site for a military post at San Diego, Cal. On motion of Mr. Perkins (Kan.) a bill was sed extending the time within which the Shoctaw Coal and Railroad Company shall construct its road through the Indian terri- tory. ‘THE LEGISLATIVE BILL AGAIN TAKEN UP. The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Payson of Ilinois in the chair) on the legislative appropriation bill. Mr. Stockdale (Aliss.), touching upon the sisi decvioetaw, sad Gast ie oan Salt toon that that law was violated. If the commis- sioners did not know it they were incompe- tent; if they could not apply a remedy they were usclesws. Referring to tho Barrundia Affair he said that the United States was too t and grand to be the silent, wil it Roos of ts Faas's saurder ae had Gvar, dates, the annals of this or any other country. ‘MR. M’ADOO AGAINST THE SHIPPING BILL. Mr. McAdoo of New Jersey voiced his opposi- tion to the shipping bill. He denied the charge that the opponents of the measure were in patriotiam orfin devotion to, the flag. would have stood a better chance of a free and honorable discussion cent greater r country. He not result in lo ering freight rates to the products of the farm. Freight rates had never been lower and com- petition had never been greater than they were today. If the subsidy lowered the rates, the amount of the subsidy would have to be raised. his must give a su 40 Sian was paid’ 09 argued that subsidy It was good or bad for- tune not to be a member of the next House; but he wanted to say to the eastern men (and he said it in no spirit of dogmatism) that they could not in iis Congress vote a direct subsidy to one in- terest in their section and stand im the Fifty- second Congress and to subsidize farmer by voting for the subtreasury scheme. ‘The progress of subsidy could not be stopped when that system was once entered upon. He trusted that a halt would be called now. cat Was the duty of the democrats in the next \gress not to enter upon experimental laws, but fo repeat, repeat, repeat and take the load off the American people. Mr. McAdoo was frequently interrupted with applause,and, as he concluded, was warmly con- Gratulated by his colleagues. ‘MR. FITCH EXPRESSES HIS THANES. Mr. Fitch (N.Y.) tendered his personal thanks to the gentleman who had just spoken. The gentleman had expressed for representatives of districts bordering on the bay of New York ideas which they entertained very deeply. Mr. Fitch called attention to the fact that the ex- ample of England was now urged as one to be followed by the United States. Why, he asked, was this sudden conversion to the following of British examples? It was simply because it would make heavier the pockets of shipowners. ‘Mr. McComas (Md.) inquired whose conver- sion was referred to, and Mr. Fitch replied that he spoke of the gentlemen on the other side, including the gentleman from Maryland AN EXPERT ON CONVERSIONS. Mr. McComas—The gentleman is an expert on conversions; so I wanted to know. (Laugh- ter.] Mr. Fitch—The gentleman has never been converted. He was first elected to the House of Representatives from Maryland over a demo- cratic protectionist and beat him because that protectionist had voted against the Mor- rison bili. [Demoeratic applause.] It would be well if © gentleman from Maryland was always as consistent as I have been. My letter of acceptance in 1886 is exactly like my speeches in 1888 and 1890; and { got double the majority in the last r Yr. Buchanan (N.J.) sotto voce—The gentle- man would seem to have but one speech. INVESTIGATION THREATENED. Mr. Fitch then gave notice that if the ship- ping bill passed a committee would be ap- pointed in the next Congress to inquire into the manner in which its paseage had been se- cured. The kind of influence and the methods which had been used in the advocacy of this bill (including abuse and a lavish ause of other means as of abuse) would never succeed in get- ting many of the members to vote for it. Mr. Farquhar (N. Y.)—Why deal in innu- endoes? ‘Talk out like a man. A HOT INTERCHANGE OF INVECTIVES. ‘Mr. Bland and one or two others shouted out | denunciations of the subsidy lobbyists, and there was a hot but unintellegible interchange of inveetives between Mr. Bland and Mr. Far- quar, the latter denouncing the silver lobby- ists. General debate having closed the reading of the bill was continued. The parsgraphs rela- tive to the civil service commission were passed over for the present without prejudice. ———_+oe—___ THAT CHINESE SYNDICATE, ‘The Minister From the Flowery Ki: Makes an Interesting Statement About It. At various times since the present minister from China, Mr. Tsui Kwo Yin, came to this country in September, 1889, there have been rumors of the formation of a great American syndicate that was to be given the ‘control of the national banking system of China and the managemens of all the railroad and telegraph interests of that country. The syndicate was said to be formed under the auspices of the Chinese legation in this city and th> statement was 1ade that the id receive large grants and val- 8 from the Chinese govern- ment. These rumors have beer. denied by the representatives of the Chinese government in this city, but have come to life again every time with unerring regularity. A month or two ‘ago the Chinese minister went over to New Haven on business connected with the purchase of a large amount of small arms for the Chinese government. he infor- mation was at once sent out that the sale was made through the influence of this syndicate. This was denied on the following there is no doubt that the minister was’ very provoked about the whole business. Ac- cording to statements made at the legation to- day one of the promoters of this syndicate hasa Chinese servant who is on intimate terms with the servants at the legation and is thus enabled to keep his master informed of the movements of the minister and his secretaries, and it is complained that as a result the minis- ter never takes a trip but he finds this enter- prising individual in the same car with him, giving people the impression that the two are gn the most intimate business and social rela- ions. Mr. Tu Yen Ku, one of the attaches of the legation, recently resigned his position and on Monday last he left Washington for his home in the flowery lom.
