SENATE ADJOURNS OUT OF RESPECT, The Shipping Bill Will Be Con- sidered by the House. MONEY FOR AGRICULTURE. THE SENATE. The sudden death of Senator Wilson (Md.) in this city last night was feelingly alluded to in the chaplain’s opening prayer, and after the Journal was read and a message received from the House business was suspended on the sug- gestion of Mr. Edmunds to give time for a con- sultation with Mr. Gorman asto what course he wished the Senate to pursue in connection with the death of his colleague. A few minutes afterward Mr. Gorman en- tered the chamber and, after reaching his he laid upon it a sheet of paper whic] in his hand, and on which were written a resolutions. He ad and mournfal voice. SENATOR WILSON'S DEATH ANNOUNCED. It becomes my duty (he said), Mr. President, to announce to the Senate the death of my col- league, the late Ephraim K.Wilson. He breathed his Inst in this city last night about 10:10 o'clock. My late col , though not robust in health, was in chamber Saturday last giving that earnest attention to public business whick was the rule of his life. Sunday he was indisposed, but none around him thought that it was more than temporary trouble cwhich would soon pass away. His death comes, therefore, asa sudden shock, not only to his associates, but to the country and to his family. My colleague had for some time anticipated a sudden off. He was conscious that he had an attack of the heart which might terminate his career at any time. And yet, with the courage of ro, he went on in the discharge of his private and public duties as serenely and as quietly and as methodically as if he was in robust health. He had nearly reached the allotted term of three-score and ten. He was beloved and honored by the people of his state, whom he had served in their state legislature, as a presi- dential elector, as member of the House of it of the Senate in alow Representatives and as an associate justice of the circui: court of his distric. He had been twice elected as a member of this body. His career here is familiar to all of us. We knew him as a man of lofty intelligence, asa lawyer of active and rare logic, and as a gentle- man without reproach. He enjoyed the esteem of every member of this body, without regard to party. The loss of such» man is a loss to the nation. But in Maryland his death will be specially mourned. ‘The people of that state have lost _an upright citizen, a true friend, a faithful legislator, “He died as he lived,'a modest, painstaking, Christian gentleman. RESOLUTIONS OF sonnow. Mr. Gorman then offered resolutions express- ing the great sorrow with which the Senate had heard of the death of Mr. Wilson, direct- ing the appointment of a committee of nine Senators to take order for superintending his funeral, directing the removal of the remains to Maryland, in cl of the sergeant-at-arms and attended by the committee, and orderinj that » communication be sent to the House Representatives with an invitation to attend the funeral tomorrow and to gprcint a odio mittee to act with a committee of the Senate. ‘MR. SPOONER'S TRIBUTE. Mr. Spooner paid his tribute to the dead Sen- ator. He did so now, he said, because when the Senate (in obedience to its custom) would hereafter ox ert business in order to allow er to delivered he (Mr. Spooner) ‘would not bes member of the body. tor Wilson and himself had entered the Senate on the same day, and had become members of the committee on claims on the same day, so that association with each other, personal and official, had been intimate. Some yearsago he had been admitted to Mr. Wilson's confidence and had been honored by his personal friendship. Mr. Wilson's death came to him, therefore, asa personal loss. He spoke of the dead Senator as a man. culiarly modest and unobtrusivs and yet bav- ing that spirit and independence that are es- sential to manliness. He had not taken that active part in the proceedings of the Senate that other Senators had done, but that was at- tributable partly to characteristics and partly to the fact that for years the specter of jeath had been the companion of every waking hour and the unbidden guest at every feast. But he was able, when duty ordered and when health permitted, to cope successfully in debate with any antagonist on any subject. With a nat- urally strong mind study and reflexion had iven to him mental powers which compar- atively few Senators appreciated. He was capable of eaxy and accurate generalization and had remarkable powers of analysis. He had great learning and his temperament was judicial. He (Mr. Spooner) had never known a man from whom harshness or injustice was less to be expected than from Senator Wilson. His reports to the committee on claims on complicated subjects had been mar! legal ability and literary taste and had attracted the admiration and Serra of all his colleagues on that committee. was a gentleman of the old school, and his courtesy to all with whom he came in contact(of high tary rash- | 8nd low degree) was unfailing and beautiful. His aspirations wore all elevated, and he was, in his public and private life, « Christian, gon- tleman. Itcould not be said that Mr. Wilson died untimely, for death could not come un- timely to him who was fit todie, and their friend from Maryland was fit to die. ‘The resolutions were agreed to unanimous and Messrs. Gorman, Gray, Jones Pasco, Faulkner, Spooner, Wilson Mitchell and Dixon were ap, Senate then, as a further mark of re- spect, adjourned fill tomorrow at 11 a.m. z z gE 3 Uj F i 33!

CANNON SATS CHESTSUTS, Cannon (Ill) said that the House could ill Spare two days, but he had yielded to the general desire that the shipping bill should be considered, and he had acquiesced in the reso- lution.

Mr. McKinley denied that the practice of making special orders had originated in this Congress. It had been the practice in every Congress since. the Forty-sixth, but in former Congresses it had been done in violation of the rules and now it was done under direct au- thority of the rules. i. majority were responsible, for public legislation, and it should rmitted to bind ite purpose into public law to be tried only fore the great tribunal of the American people. = ican applause.] “You have been tried” and “you have been weighed in the balance and found wanting,” were some of the remarks that came in a chorus from the democratic side. ‘Mr. McKinley—To that tribunal we confidently commit the work of the Fifty-first Congress. If gentlemen on the other side imagine that the verdict of last November was based on the pub- lie legislation of the Fifty-first Congress, they are very much mistaken and in error.” Ido not believe that there is a gentleman who has studied the causes that led to the verdict in No- vember who can conscientiously declare that it was based on the work of this Congress. “What was it?” queried the democrats. THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED. Mr. McKinley—The majority on this floor having only afew days [derisive laughter on the democratic side}, and all of us being here, with our seats well filled, we pro agd complete the work of the Fifty gress, no matter what obstruction m: in our way by gentlemen on that chamber.

The immigration bill was then taken up, the Pending question being on Mr. Oates’ substi- tute, which was rejected—yens, 55; mays, 202. ‘The bill was passed. THE AGRICULTURAL APPROPRIATION BILL. ‘The House then went into committee of the whole (Mr. Dingley of Maine in the chair) on the agricultural appropriation bill. A NIGHT FOR THE DISTRICT. Mr. Grout’s Committee Hope to Get One—The District Appropriation Bill. Members of the House District committee have not yet given up the idea of obtaining a night session for District bills, although all idea of aday has been given up. The desire was to obtain a night this week, so that some of the Senate bills might be amended and still get through. The chances, however, for a night this week have by the proceedings today been putin avery badshape. The shipping bill debate inte: 5 — spews oe ropriation bills will consume Rorrow andthe next das, while Mr. Cannon ve notice that tonight and tomorrow night Ee'would ask the House to consider appropr tion bills. Friday 7 be given up to the private calendar, thus Teaving Saturday night as the only chance for the District. The com- mittee may get that night and it may not, with the chances very greatly in favor of the nega- tive. Ifitis a matter of unanimous consent all idea of further time may as well be given yy . THE APPROPRIATION BILL. The conference committee on the District appropriation bill may make a further report at any time, possibly this afternoon, and at any rate before Saturday. The conferees will in all probabilit; on a compromise sum "for free school books and w reach some conclusion in rd regal to assessment and electric light conduits. The Zoological Park reimbursement will undoubt- edly have to be voted on in the Hous» and pos- sibly the water main amendmen: It is rather expected that a conclusion will be reached on the question of meeting the maturing bonds of 1891. SECRETARY FOSTER. He is Expected to Reach Washington This Afternoon. Gov. Foster, the new Secretary of the Treas- ury, is expected to reach Washington on the congressional limited this afternoon at 4 o'clock from New York. It is not thought at the Treasury Department that he will take the oath of office until tomorrow morning. He will remain here for few days before going back to Ohio to arrange his private affairs. This morning the room oc- cupied by Secretary Windom was put in order for the new incumben:. The crepe mourning that had been placed on the dead statesman’s chair was removed and the office was brightened up. ‘There have been innumer- able letiers and telegrams received here con- tul v.
