THE BILL WITH AMENDMENTS PASSED An Amusing Colloquy Between Messrs. Wolcott and Plumb. A TEMPORARY SPEAKER. SENATE. Senate bill confirming to the Kansas Central Railroad Company the right of way over the Fort Leavenworth military reservation was re- ported and placed on the calendar. ‘The conference report on the vill to incorpo- rate the Washington and Arlington Railroad Company of the District of Columbia was pre- sented and agreed to. A motion to reconsider the vote passing the bill iting right of way to the aetropslitan Southern Railroad Company through property of the United States in’ Montgomery county, Md., was made by Mr. Gorman and put on ‘THE COPYRIGRT BILL. + The copyright bill having been taken up as the unfinished business, Mr. Platt yielded to the request of Mr. Davis to allow some pension bills on the calendar to be passed. Mr. Paddock notified Mr. Platt that in view of the very imporiant bill next on the order of business (the Indian depredations bill) he (Mr. Paddock) would have to insist,uniess an agree- ment could be secured for a vote on the copy- right bill before adjournment today, that bill be laid aside and the pure food bill taken up. He recognized Mr. Platt's it anxiety about the copyright bill and the {abor bestowed upon it by him: but it looked to him (Mr. Paddock)—as it looked to many other friends of that bill—that the question had de- generated into a wrestle between those who speculated on the ‘brains of other people and who were determined to get advantage one of the other. Mr. Platt agreed with Mr. Paddock that the copyright bill had occupied a long time and had been kept before the Senate to the exclu- sion of other matters—very much to his sor- row. He wasas anxious to get it out of tho way as Mr. Paddock was, and was a8 anxious a8 that Senator could pousibly be to come to the consideration of the pure food bill. He as- sured him that he would do everything (even refraining from discussion) in order to get a vote on the bill, and did not think thatit would occupy over two hours more. PENSION BILLS PASSED. Some dozen pension bills were taken from the calendar and passed, including bills in- creasing the pensions of the widows of Gen. Custer, Admiral Wilkes and Gen. Daniel Ullmann to 100 a month. The first was a House bill; all the others were Senate bills. When the bill to give $100 month to Mrs. r was read Mr. Plumb inquired if Mr. Davis, chairman of the committee on pensions, had considered the question of increasing the pensions of the widows of private soldiers. Ar. Davis informed him that when he (Mr. Plumb) introduced a bill to that effect it would be considered. 01 i Mr. Plumb—I wish to know what the com- mittee has done on that subject. Mr. Davis—The committee haa not had any occasion to express an opinion upon it. Mr. Plumb—Then I am bound to suppose thas the widows of private soldiers bave not yetcome within the purview of that com- ‘THE SHERMAN AMENDMENT. The copyright bill was again taken up, the pending question being on the Sherman a: ment as offered yesterday by Mr. Power—to admit copyrighted books, é&c., printed in foreign countries on payment of tariff duties.

In the course of «discussion on Mr. Frye's amendment a somewhat amusing colloquy took place between Mr. Wolcott and Mr. Plumb, the former intimating that views which Mr. Plumb had expressed on art and artistic and liter- ary (Property might suit the ideas of | the state meas in these latter days, but were not generally accepted elsewhere, and Mr. Plumb retorted that euch a remark did not become the Senator from Colorado, and that when the time came for them to hang out their soiled linen on the national clothes line he (Mr. Plumb) could say as many mean things about Colorado as Mr. Woleott could sa; sas—even if the majority of Population of Colorado had come from Kansas. “But they have not,” said Mr. Woleott. “I should like to know that they have not,” said Mr. Plumb. “I like it, too,” retorted Mr. Wolcott, and the galleries induiged in a laugh.

McKinley of Ohio and Mr. Dockery of Missouri amid the plaudits of both sides of the cham- ber. A conference was ordered on the District of Columbia appropriation bill and on the Military Academy appropriation bill. ‘THE INDIAN APPROPRIATION BILL. The House then proceeded to the further consideration of the Indian appropriation bill. Mr. Perkins (Kan.) asked unanimous consent that the reading of the amendment to carry into effect the allotment agreement with the Coour d'Alene and other tribes of Indians be dis- Pensed with, but Mr. Turner of New York ob- The reading of the amendment consumed overan hour and @ half, and it was then agreed to.

POST OFFICE APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Allen of Michigan in the chair) on the Post Office appropriation bill. THE VACANT SECRETARYSHIP. Cannon Out of the Race—Ex-Gov. Foster Believed to Have Been Selected. ‘Mr. Cannon of Ilinois, it is said, is no longer being considered in connection with the sec- retaryship of the treasury. The appointment of the Secretary will be matie this week, and it is stated with positiveness, on what ought to be excellent authority, that Mr. Harrison has de- cided to appoint ex-Gov. Foster of Ohio. He would not select a man from the far west for the reason that he did not want to give any sort of countenance to the free silver movement, and the selection of Gov. Foster isin part due to the fact that his record on the money ques- tion is sound. When the inflation craze had a hold on Ohio be made an issue against the movement and was elected governor of Ohio. $2. FINANCIAL PLANS THAT, FAILED. Representative Wade on the Situation—He Applauds Cleveland's Silver Letter. Representative Wade of Missouri says that he thinks the shipping bill will pass the house be- fore the end of the session, but that he thinks there is little hope of any other legislation. Mr. Wade is one of the southwestern men who does not believe in free coinage of silver. He has some very positive convictions on financial questions, and they do not accord with what is usually regarded as the southern and western sentiment. “There should have been some financial leg- islation? he said to a Star reporter today, “and there would have been, had certain mem- bers of our own acted squarely. Mr. Harrison did he could in the matter and there was every reason to expect that a proper bill would be passed, but the action of those republicans who have gone wild on the silver question has destroyed allour plans. I should have to use stro language to express my opinion of the action. these men. “The bill by the Senate finance committee should have been passed, only that there should have been ,000,000 in stead of $200,000,000 in 2 per cent bonds authorized, and the national banks should have been authorized to issue currency tothe par value of this deposit of bonds. This would have been done but for those gen- tlemen in the Senate who are bigger than their party. yublic debt would have en retund with these bonds, the national banks would Lave iseued currency for the full amount and the increase of the cir- culating medium that is necessary would “have been had. The talk of the free coinage of silver furnishing ge the needed relief is absurd. It would not in- crease the value of money if it is trae as the silver men claim, that foreign silver would not be sent here,’ for we already consume more than the product of the American mines. The refunding of the public debt on a2 per cent basis and the enlargement of the national bank circulation is what should have been provided for. ‘The, banks pay a tax of per cent on their circulation. would practically put the public debt one 1 per cent MR., CLEVELAND'S SILVER LETTER.
