Senator Manderson today submitted the re- port of the committee on printing, which rec- ommends to the Senate the purchase of square 713 as thesite for the new government printing ottice. ‘The report says the site selected ts owned by E. Kurtz Johnson and O. G. Staples and is offered for $106,000. The square lies eight blocks from’ the Capitol on the east side of the Metropolitan branch of the | Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and is so located that any proposed change in the Baltimore and Obio depot will not affect itu accessibility by aside track. If the parking about the square be reduced to a uniform width of twenty-five feet, which the committee considers to be ample for sidewalk pu: , there would be a total area for the building of 150,000 equare feet. Senator Manderson at tho same time introduced a joint résolution making available the appropriation of $250,000 made August 30, 1890, and there- after suspended. The resolution authorizes the Secretary of the Trgasury to pay $106,000 of this sum to the owners of block 713 as soon as the proper deed conveying it to the United States is made out. ee DISTRICT IN CONGRESS, THE WASHINGTON AND MARLBORO’ RAILWAY.

AN RXECUTIVE SESSION, At 3 p.m. the Senate went into executive ses- sion on motion of Mr. MeCullom. After five minutes spent in executive session the Senate adjourned till tomorrow. | MOUSE. | i When Speaker Crip entered the House at | noon today and ascended to his chair there was | spontaneous outburst of applause from all parties on the floor and from the occupants of the gallery—a tribute of sympathy with the | Speaker in his unpleasant connection with the | Reform Club dinner. | THE DUTIES OF REGISTER. | The Speaker Inid before the House a com- munication from the Seoretary of the Treasury transmitting the draft of a joint resolution relative to the discharge of the official duties of the register of the treasury. The communi- cation seta forth the illness of the register, Gen. Rosecrans, and the performance of his duties by the assistant register; and the reeolu- tion provides that the Secretary may delegate authority to any chief of division or clerk to act temporarily as assistant register. The joint resolution was THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL, Mr. Outhwaite (Ohio), chairman of the com- mittee on military affairs, reported the army | appropriation bill and it was referred to the committee of the whole.

Very general indignation was manifested, and among ‘the democratic supporters of the Speaker the indignation found vent in strong words. Even among the men who had opposed the election of Mr. Crisp to the Speaker's chair there wasadeep fecling of re- sentment. One of the Texas members, who had fought tooth aud nail for the election of Mr. Mills, said laconically: ‘It illustrates only that mugwumy hospitality is on « par with mugwump politics,” republicans shared Politically, of course, they were not averse to a little fami ily quarrel among the demce: personally they have the highest respect fo: Mr. Crisp, and the esprit de corps makes them angry that their residing officer should be treate chtingly. | @ consensus of opinion is that the incident will redound greatly in the Speaker's favor. ‘As the hands of the clock pointed to the bour | of noon the Speaker ascended the chair. Then he received an ovation. Democrats and re- Padlicane vied with cach other in doing bim jonor. Cheers went up and the applause was taken up by the galleries and it was reveral moments before quiet could be restored. The ovation was an entirely spontaneous one. | And it was not political in any sense. Political friend and foe greeted the Speaker with » hearty welcome. “It was a personal recognition as well a8 an outburst to sustain the dignity of the House. Whether the indignity offered to the Speaker was intentional or accidental, there was an intense feeling that the third officer of the — govern- ment, the presiding officer of the popular branch of the national legislature, had not | been treated ina manner commensurate with his official position. He stood calmly with gavel in hand as republicans and democrats cheered and cheered again. Then, when com-| parative order had been restored, he quietly | said: “The House will be in order. The chaplain will offer prayer.” But, though in outward seeming the Speaker | was calm and apparently oblivious to his recep- tion, he was strongly moved by the manifestation of good fellowship. To Mr. Bur- rows of Michigan, who greeted him with a warm handshake,’ the Speaker expressed hearty appreciation of the cordial manner in which his, political enemies had received him. Instead of feeling aggrieved he is in the best possible spirits, believing that the fault (if fault there ix) lies not with him, but with the managers of the Reform Club ban- quet. NEW MEXICO AND STATEHOOD. Delegate Joseph Expects No Action From a Republican Senate. Delegate Joseph of New Mexico expects noth- ing this session in the matter of the admission of the territory which he represents, He fee! that politics have arison superior to justice ana that in the fact that New Mexico is demo- | cratic is the cause that has kept it from being | one of the states of the Union, Mr. Joseph | said to a Stax reporter today | “We look for nothing from a republican Seu- | ate this session.

At Mr. Blaine's residence at a late hour this afternoon Stan reporter was informed that the ex-Secretary’s condition, according to physician's report, showed a slight improvement. A few days ago Mr. Blaine caught a cold and this was soon foliowed byareturn of his former stomach trouble.

He says it should be local in character with a fixed term of enlistment and recruited from shipwrights, naval architects, pilots, mariue engineers and citizen seamen from along the Atlantic, gulf and Pacific coasts and the great lakes: the entire organization to be under the jurisdiction of the Secrethry of the Navy. In the commissioner's opinion it should con- sist of four divisions, one for the lakes and one for each of the other coasts, and he suggeste that the government place at the disposal of each division a merchant steamer 40 constructed as to be as a war cruiser when needed, but otherwise to be used as a practice ship under the direction of the Secretary of the Navy.

Because the power to tax is the power to de- stroy the people of the United States in their fundamental law have wisely put a limitation on its exercise. ‘The people may be taxed for public revenue. They may not be taxed for aay other purpose. The republicans departed from this principle, and, entering apon a career of extravagance, burdened and oppressed {he people with unjust, unequal and oppressive tax laws, In 1890 the democratic party assailed the McKinley bill, the republicans defended it and the country pronounced against it. When the Fifty-second Congress met it was confronted with acondition, not a theory. The House was largely democratic and for tariff reform.
