MA. MILLS RIDICULES RECIPROCITY. The Bill Defended by Representa- tive Grosvenor and Others. THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL. THE SENATE. ‘The House amendment to the direct tax bill was presented and was laid on the table for the present. Among the papers presented and referred were numerous protests from the northwest portion of Nebraska against the neglect of the government in the matter of disarming the hos- tile Sioux and asking protection from Indian depredations. Among the bills reported from committees and placed on the calendar were the following: Senate bill granting the right toerect and maintain dams across the Kansas river within Shawnee county, Kan. Senate joint ‘resolution authorising Brig. Gen. Thos. L. Casey, chief of engineers, U.S. to accept from the president of the French re- public a diploma conferring the decoration of officer of the legion of honor. Senate bill authorizing brevets for gallant services in Indian cam] patouse bill to pension the widow of Admiral orter. Mr. Shoup was appointed on the committee on territories in place of Mr. Pierce, excused. The legislative, executive and judicial appro- priation bill was reported by Mr. Allison, who gave notice that he will ask the Senate to con- sider it a8 soon as the sundry civil bill have been disposed of. ‘THR SUNDRY Orvi, BILL. The sundry civil bill was then taken up and its consideration resumed, beginning on page 65—discussion to be under the five-minute rule. Mr. Stewart referring to the unanimous con- sent given for the five-minute rule, desired to have it suspended in favor of an amendment in respect to irrigation, and Mr. Paddock said that he also would wish it suspended in respect toan amendment which he intended to offer. But Mr. Hale warned the Senate that if the five-minute rule was not to be observed it might as well be understood that the time of the Senate was tobe given to talk and not to business. The only way that the appropriation bills could be and an extra session avoided would be by constant day and night and Sun- day sessions, otherwise as certain as tides, sun- rise and sunset, the 4th of March would come and find appropriation bills not passed. An amendment was offered by Mr. Allison, and agreed to, appropriating $60,000 for build- ings for army stores and officers at Omaha, Neb. All the amendments reported from the com- mittee on appropriations having been disposed was opened to general amend- of at 1:30 the bi ment. HOUSE. The House met at 10 o'clock this morning, there being less than twenty-five members in attendance. On motion of Mr. Cogswell (Mass.) Senate Dill was passed for the relief of J. P. Downing, firet paying teller of the subtreasury at Boston. On motion of Mr. Dockery (Mo.) Senate bill was Anttorizing the construction of railroad bridge at Little Rock, Ark. On motion of Mr. Hopkins of Ilinois bill was passed telleyi i Merrill of the charge of dishonorable discharge. On motion of Mr. McCormick of Pennsylva- nia a bill was passed authorizing the Secreta of War to revoke the order dismissing Second Lieut. E. M. Nixon. On motion of Mr. Vaux of Pennsylvania » resolution was adopted for the printing of 10,000 extrr. copies of the testimony taken by the committes on coinage, weights and meas- ures. On motion of Mr. Springer of Tlinois a bill was passed for the retirement of Lieut. Col. J. Madison Cutts, with the rank of captain. On motion of Mr. Kennedy (Ohio) a bill was passed transferring the county of Logan from {he northern to the southern judicial district of tio. ‘On motion of Mr. Quinn (N.Y.) Senate bill was for the relief of the amignees of the late John Roach. THE SUIPPING BILL TAKEN UP. ‘The House then proceeded in committes of the whole, Mr. Burrows (Mich.) in the chair, for general debate on the shipping bill. Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio), who held the floor when the bill was last under consideration concluded his remarks in favor of the measure. ‘The time which hud elapsed since he last ad- dressed the House, he said, had controverted the argument made by gentlemen on the other side that the McKinley taruf’ law bud shut out American products from foreign market and foreign products from American markets. ‘Time had done # good deal for the republi- pon aging gt triumphant e of the iny in the operation of the McKinley bill as’ part of ter and spirit and purpose of that bill, the United States had opened markets for many bushels of wheat and @ good many barrels of porl A MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE M'KINLEY BILL. After alittle sparring with Mr. McMillin as to the causes which led to the recent republi- lian detent, Mr. Grosvenor said that the reason that the democrats would be in a majority in the next House was that there had been a mis- representation and misunde ot ‘the MoKinley bill.

The advocates of the bill Meggan oer Why not build them? They had the protective Policy, which it was claimed brought down the | cost ‘of producton. It was claimed that the ¥ the McKinley bill had cheaj cost of neces- sities. Ithad cheapened one thing. It had cheapened the wages of the American labor in <a of the country. (Democratic ep- se. Milt gentlemen dia not like cheay why in- sist on cheapening the wages work mani HE QUOTED FROM JEFFERSON. In concluding his remarks Mr. Mills laid down the doctrine of the democratic party, quoting from the utterancesof Thomas Jeffer- son. He affirmed and reaffirmed that the will of the majority when expressed was the will of But that bill must be reasonable, it must be rightful. It must, by equal laws, protect the rights of the mivority. That was what the democrats were contending for. Mr. Buchanan (N. J.) submitted an argument in support of the bill and controverted the statement made by its opponents that England paid no subsidies. Great Britain, Germany, France and other countries had in the past and did now pay subsidies. ‘They were paid in three ways—first, by psy- ment outright; second, under the guise of mail Pay; third, by the payment of money under what was called the naval reserve plan. ‘The United States was not doing its share of the scean carrying trade, aud all that re- mained for it to do tosecure that share was to meet like with like. In conclusion he quoted, in terms of the warmest commendation, from the Inst speach delivered by Secretary Windom as to the wisdom of restoring the merchant marine. MR. HOPKINS’ OBJECTION. Mr. Hopkins (Iil.) regretted that an attempt had been made to turn this question into a party one. It was a nationsl question and should be considered assuch. He was opposed to the bill because he was opposed to the policy of subsidy. Transportation by sea had changed ite character as much as transportation by land. It would be as well pay a subsidy to the old stage coach in order to put it in competition with the limited ex- press as to subsidize the wooden ships that were made in Maine in order to put them in competition with the great stecl steamers which traversed the ocean. He al epposed the measure because he Delieved that it merely temporized with a great subject. This was not the remedy for our deeadence on the sea, and would not restore our lost prestige. It was against the policy of the government, and always should be, to teke money from the treasury and pay it to a class of persons engaged ina private calling. ‘That was all the measure was, and all that it could be diguitied into. This legislation ‘was modeled on. the French law, and that law had proven to be a» failure. Was it wise statesmanship or just legislation for Congress to pase this bill in view of that fact? He hoped that this House would put the seal of its con- demnation on the effort to commit this govern- ment to a measure which had been proven to be a failure. —————EE— SENATOR WILSON’S FUNERAL, Simple but Impressive Services at the Ham- ilton—The Remains Taken to Snow Hill. Very simple and very impressive were the services held at the Hamilton House this morn- ing over the remains of the late Senator Wilson of Maryland. Rey. Dr. Butler, chaplain of the Senate, read appropriate selections from the gospels, epistles and Psalms, and the Rev. Dr. Bartlett of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church offered a most beautifully sympathetic prayer. From the Hamilton House the mem- bers of the deceased's famijy, accompanied by the Congressional committee, proceeded to the Baltimore and Potomac depot, where a special train was in waiting. Tho Senators and Representatives ranged thomselves under shelter on each side of the 6th street gateway and stood with bared heads while seven Capitol jicemen, directed by Capt. Allabach, carried the cloth-covered and flower-laden casket to the baggage car of the ‘ial. Almostsimultaneously with the entrance of this part was the appearance of those members of the Wilson family that were going to Snow Hill trom this city; they entered at the western platform gate and the procession, which was moving at right angles with them, halted until they entered their ear. The casket was placed in a polished oak case in the baggage car. ‘THE FUNERAL TRAIN. The train, which was vestibuled throughout, consisted of a baggage car, the dining car ““Cas- sius” and the Pullman sleepers “Orebro” and “Epirus.” In the forward sleeper were Sena- tors Gray, Pasco, Faulkner and Dix: sentatives Gibson, Stump, Stockbrid and Abbott (all members of the congresmonal committee), and with them were such attaches of the Senate us were needed, all in charge of Assistant Sergeant-at-arms Charles B. Reade. In the second sleeper were Mrs. Wilson, Miss Nannie Wilson, Mr. W. Sidney Wilson, kK. Wilson, jr., Mr. and Mrs. Hargis, Mre. Betton, Judge and’ Mrs. L. T. H. Irving and Mr. E. D: Martin, who was private secretary to the Sens- tor. At Baltimore Gor. Jackson of Maryland is expected to join ty. Those who were at the depot were all the members of the Senate and House commitiees. Rev. Dr. Butler, Rev.

May, one of his assist- ants, Assistant Passenger Agent Robert H. Parke, wont on the train which left shortly after 11 o'clock and will return with it tomor- row evening. Neither Senators Gorman, Spooner or Wilson of Iowa were able to leave the city at this time, although they, too, were members of the com: mittee. The brief space of time intervening betweea now and the adjournment of Con- every moment — valuable. mference committees will be very numerous ina day or so and these Senators will be in demand.

Mr. Grout made one further effort this morn- ing to obtain an evening session Saturday night for the consideration of District affairs and only failed by bad luck. He asked unani- mous consent for such a session.

NETTLETON STILL ACTING SECRETARY— FEW CHANGES EXPECTED. Four weeks ago today Secretary William Windom died in New York of heart disease. To- day his successor, ex-Gov. Charles Foster of Ohio, took his seat as the bead of the Treasury Department and began his service by making the acquaintance of his chief assistants, He reached the city last night between 8 and 9 o'clock and drove at once to the Riggs House. In # few minutes he went over to the White House, where, in the presence of the President, Mra. Harrison and Mr. Halford, be took the oath of office, administered by Col. Crook. AT TRE DEPARTMENT. He went to the department quite early this morning and had a long chat with Gen. Nettleton, the acting secretary, in re- gard to matters of financial = edmin- istration. Word was sent quietly around to the bureau chiefs that it would be a good plan for them to d in one at a time to see ‘the new Secretary, who would devote two hours to this duty of making their acquaintance. The Secretary thus saw hir co-workers and chatted a few minutes with each one. He avoided a general reception because he that he could learn nothing of the men from a long procession of hand-shaking automatons. By means of nis three or four minutes of conversation he to get each one fixed firmly in his mind, and thus he begins his career with a very fair acquaintance with the folks with whom will be thrown in contact. His private secretary, Mr. Hendley, steered the incomers up tothe desk and performed the introductious.
