C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1893—TEN PAGES. CONGRESS AGAIN. Both Houses Meet After the Holiday Recess. NOT MUCH BUSINESS TRANSACTED. Bills Struggle for Precedence in the Senate. . i ONE PENSION BILL Was Passed by the House Before It Adjourned. SENATE, The holiday recess of Congress ended at noon today, and at that hour the session of the Sen- ate was opened with prayer by the chaplain, special reference being made therein to the dangerous illness of Senator Kenna of West Virginia and the trust expressed that bis useful life may be spared. The certificates of the election of presiden- tial electors from the states of Pennsylvania, Rhode Inland, Mississippi, fowa, Nevada, Ver- mont, Idaho, Virginia, Massachusetts and West Virginia were presented by the Vice Pri lent and were placed on file. EPIDEMIC DIREASES AND IMMIGRATION. After the introduction and reference of sundry bills and resolutions Mr. Chandler (X. H.) moved an order that on Friday next, after the routine morning _ business, and on Saturday (if necessary) — the two bills on the calendar reported by the committees on epidemic diseases and on immigration, having rglation to the danger of introduction of cholera into the United States, shall be the special orders and have exclusive consideration on those days, with- out otherwise displaying the present ‘“un- finished businese.”” It seemed to him (he said) that if any bills were entitled to preference, they were. They were urgent in their character. ‘They rey ted different methods of dealing with the apprehended cholera—one a total suspension of immigration for one year and the other increased quarantine powers to the exec- utive branch of the government. He under- stood that the executive (even without additional legislative authority ) proposed to issue, within few days, regulations concerning quarantine that would have an important bearing on the subject. He (Mr. Chandler) was willing that the quarantine bill should be first considered and dis} of. Mr. Harris (Tenn.), who bad reported tho quarantine bill, quite agreed with the Senator from New Hampshire that those two questions were of the highest importance and that ac- tion should be taken upon them at the earliest day possible. PLEA FOR THE ANTI-OPTION BILL. ‘Mr. Washburn (Minn.) reeognized the im- portance of the measures referred to, but thought that the anti-option bill was still more important. At the close of the morning hour the anti- option bill was taken up for consideration. Hows ° Although there was a great deal of noise and bustle in the ball of the House thi morn- ing before the hour of noon it was caused mainly by members-clect and vis- itors, there being but few present mem- bers in uttendance. Prominent among the latter was Mr. McCreary (Ky.), who was cor* dially greeted by his associates and who ran the gauntlet of questions as to the doings of the monetary commission of which he was a _mem- ber. With his pleasant smile he responded to the interrogatories, but his answers were rather non-committal. At 12 o'clock the Speaker, in a elear vo called the House to order, and the chaplain of- fered prayer. On motion of Mr. Wilson (rep., Washington), Senate bill was passed authorizing the construc- tion of a bridge across the Columbia river, Washington. On motion of Mr. English (dem., New Jer- sey), Saturday, February 11, was set apart for the consideration of resolutions. relative to the death of Mr. Edward McDonald of New Jer- sey. A PUBLIC BUILDING RESOLUTION. ‘Mr. Scott (Ill) asked consent for the con- sideration of a resolution setting forth that the Fifty-first Congress provided for the construc- tion or extention of 75 public buildings; that 47 have mot yet been —_con- tracted for, and calling on the Secre- tary of the Treasury for information as to the reason why so wany of these public works have not been begun and why more than $8,000,000 remain unexpended during the last two years while the public service suffers. Mr. Dingley (Me.) objected, and the resolu- tion was referred. On motion of Mr. Long (dem., Tex.) a bill Was passed extending for five years the time within which a private company ‘may complete the deep-water harbor at Padre Island, on the Gulf of Mexico. On motion of Mr. Hoar (dem., Mase.) a bill was passed admitting free of duty the wreckage of the C. 8. 8. Trenton and Vandalia. PRIVATE PENSION BILLS. ‘Mr. Martin (dem., Ind.) called up the pri- vate pension bills on the calendar of unfinished business. ‘Mr. Bland (Mo.) became a stumbling block to the speedy passage of the measures. He made no set speech against them, but said that in view of the fact. that the’ laws per- mitted almost any one to secure a pension it was time for Congress to call a halt in the enactment of special legislation, The treasury was in a depleted condition mainly on account of extraordinary squander- ing on account of pensions by Congress. Con- gress should make a halt and take a step back- ward. The disability pension act should be amended and the pensioners under it should be compelled to show not only disability, but des- titution. ‘One bill was passed and then the House at 2 o'clock adjourned without a quorum, being able to musier but 148 votes. > DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. TO EXTEND THE HALF HOLIDAY. Senator McMillan today introduced a joint resolution the effect of which is to change the law making Saturday a balf holiday for bankers so that its requirements will include the Dis- trict of Columbia instead of the city of Wash- ington alone, as the act now reads. A NEW FORM OF DEE! For some time the real estate agents of the Dutrict have complained that the present form of the deeds is too complicated and intricate and that another form sbould be devised. Senator McMillan bas taken up this matter and today introduced a measure which will prob- ably be satisfactory and meet all requirements. The bill makes tho form. of deed for, the transfer of real estate in thd District of Colum- bia as follows: ‘This indenture witnesseth that the grantor, for and in consideration of the sum of. doliars in hand paid, jouarer and warrant. the following described real estate, to wit es <..c.--g aituated in the .. of Washington, District of Columbia, Dated the . day of . AL THE HOUSE DISTRICT COMMITTE! Chairman Hemphill returned to the city to- day from South Carolina. Ho will calla meet- ing of the District committee tor next Friday or Baturday to prepare some business to call up i@ the House next Monday, which will be says A COURT OF APPEALS. Mr. Culberson of Texas introduced in the House the bill providing for a court of appeals in the District. This is the bill which has here- tofore been agreed upon by the committee and Published in Tur Stan. pei: —— CAPITOL TOPICcs. RETURN OF THE CONGRESSIONAL EXCURSIONISTS. ‘The congressional committee who have been spending the past week investigating immigra- tion and epidemic diseases at Key Weat and Havana returned to the city this morning by the Richmond and Danville vestibuled limited ANOTHER IMMIGRATION PILL. Some time ago Senator Chandler, chairman of the Senate immigration committee, had a bill reported from his committee providing for the issue of manifesta to vessels sailing for the United States, 80 framed as to guard against the admission to this country of undesirable immigrants. The House committee bas as yet done nothing with | the bill, so the Senator today introduced snother bill extiblishing additional regula- tions concerning immigration to the United States, ‘This latter bill is intended to supple- ment the first bill, if it should pass, but may also stand alone as an effective piece of restric- tive legislation. The features of the new measure are the designation of four new classes of excluded persons, a requirement for a declara- tion by every immigrant of name, place of departure, former residence and other information, the issue of certificates by United States consuls upon voluntary application of immigrants, a requirement of more cubic space for immigrants aboard vessels and better ven- tilation, and lastly, a new naturalization cl requiring sixty days’ notice of the application before trial. A UNLAWFUL MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS. Senator Chandler thinks that he has hit upon a perfectly legitimate means for stopping fur- ther operations by the Pinkerton’s, and today he introduced in the Senate a short bill with this end in view, It may also be interesting to note that the bill would. if enforced, destroy ‘the semi-military anarchist organizations. The bill is as follows An act to prohibit unlawful military organi- zation: at it shall be unlawful for ai body of men numbering ten or more, any of whom are subject to enrollment as a art of the militia of any state of the Jnited States, to assemble or drill or bear arms as @ military squad, company, battalion or other military organization, unless they are lied forth by some civil or military officer lawfally authorized to make such call. : It shall be the duty of the Presi- ident to disband and disperse any sueh organ- ization, and every person serving aa a member thereof shall also be subject to a fine not ex- ceeding $1,000 or by inyprisonment not exceed- ing one year, or by both such fine and im- prisonment. HOME FROM CUBA. Mr. W. R. Bates, who for the past five or six Years has acted as Senator MeMillan's confi- dential and political secretary, is in the city for afew days. Mr. Bates has just returned from Cuba, where he was obliged to go just after the election on account of ill health, occasioned by the active work he engaged in during the campaign. He is fully restored to health. e- : THE JUBIL cE STAMPS, ‘The Demand for Them at the Post Office Department Very Great. Going like hot cakes gives some idea of the demand which has sproug up for the new “jubilee stamps.” Orders for large amounts have been received at the Post Ofice Depart- ment and itis presumed that the demand mainly comes from business firms who wish to use the new stamps for advertising purposes. The theory ix that circulars bearing these stamps will attract attention, and that the recipients of the circulars, instead of throw- is the usual fate, with more deference them on account of the imposing appearance of the to treat stamp. ‘Then the collectors are beginning to get in their work. No doubt the average citi- zen will rather sniff at the idea of mere stamp collectors cutting any figure. The facts show that they are regarded as of suffi- cient importance by the department to form the basis of an official estimate which appears in no less a weighty aud important document than the annual report of the Postmaster Gen- eral. In his last report Mr. Wanamaker in discussing the estimates for the revenue for the coming year estimates that the sale of these new stamps to collectors alone would yield aclear profit to the government of not Jess than one million and a half. As these stamps are never used of course the govern- ment does not earn this money, and it may therefore be considered as clear profit. Mr. A. F. Rogers ot New York, the chairman of the committee appointed by the ‘American Philatelic Association to prepare the exhibit for the world’s fair, was at the department today. He said that’ it was the intention to make an exhibit in Chicago of stamps of every country on the giobe. The value of the exhibit, he thought, would be fully $500,- 000. He said that the common opiniqn that stamp collectors were mainly contined to school children was a mistaken one. Thousands of dollars were invested iu collections and some of _ the leading men in the country were enthusiast In his opinion there would be at least 100,000 collectors in this country alone who would buy acomplete set of these stamps. As each eet conts about £16 it wilk be readily seen that the department estimate is not ont of the way. ss THOSE STATE DOCUMENTS. A Resolution of Investigatio: in the House Today. Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge et al. will be called upon to explain. An investigating committee is after them. Representative Outhwaite introduced a reso- lution in the Honse today directing the com- mittee on the library to investigate the control of certain state documents on file in the State Department. The resolution is understood to relate to the charges which have been published that Mr. Lodge and others have been given access to these documents to the exclusion of persons who had equal right thereto, but were pre- vented by obstacles being thrown in their way. pila reson dtc aneicles THAT NEW YORK CAUCUS, Introducea Representative Rockwell Explat Date Was Selected. Representative Rockwell of New York, speaking of the early date fixed for the cauens of the democrats of the New York legislature, said to a Star reporter toda: “The fixing of the 19th for holding this caneus had no other object than that of servi the convenience of democrats of New Yorl and giving the fullest opportunity for any ex- pression of sentiment there might be on the ‘subject. All the Cleveland electors, the demo- crate of the New York congressional dele- gation and most of the prominent democrats of the stute will be in Albany to attend the re- ception of Gov. Flower on the 9th. All of them would like to be present when tho caucus is held and most of them would be there even if they had to make two trips. By having the two events come together the ineonvenience of a second visit is avoided and the caucus is held under circumstances to give Why the fullest expression to the sentiment of the state.

A General Belief That He Will Accept—Gos- sip About His Successor. There is a general belief among the mem- bers of the Kentucky delegation that their dis- | | tinguished fellow citizen, Mr. Carlisle, has been | chosen by Mr. Cleveland to sit in his cabinet as | the Secretary of the Treasury. This belief is ‘based upon ive statements that bave been made, and the legislators from the blue grass state were today feeling good natured over the recognition that according to this report, been accorded ‘their state. A prominent’ leader of the democratic party, and a man who stands exceedingly close to the Kentucky Senator, said this morning that | he would not say what eonversation,if any, he had had with dir. Carlisle since hi retarn from | ‘New York, but he would say.as he had fortome days past, that Mr. Carlisle would be asked to | accept the place. This genuletnan also intimated | that he had the assurance of the Senator him- self that he bad decided to accept the offer made by the President-elect. The fact that | Mr. Carlisie’s selection is looked upon as an | | assnred fact is evidenced by the gossip con- | cerning his possible successor which has at | this early day begun to drift about the corri- | dors of the Capitol. GOSSIP AS TO HIB SUCCESSOR. If Senator Carlisle should accept the treasury portfolio an interesting contest will at once | be precipitated for bis seat in the Sen- ate. Although some of the members jot the Kentucky delegation are —_in- clined to believe that Judge Lindsey will be the chosen one there are others who hold different opinions. — Ex-Representative | Frootor Knott wall make a very strong candi- ‘The names of Representatives Breckinridge and McCreary, the latter of whom has just re- turned from tHe international monetary con- ference, ure prominently mentioned for the place and th be very influential. SPEAKER CRISP. The Opposition to His Re-Election Has Not Ka Died Out. Speaker Crisp was on hand today to preside over the House. During the short time which he was in his room before the hour of meeting he received a great many calls from members | who were curious to know something about his interview with Mr. Cleveland. He had nothing to say on the subject, however, more than what he had said already. that he had two hours’ | very pleasant talk with Mr. Cleveland. ‘The attempt to work up an opposition to| isp has not been as active since his visit to jew York, but it has not completely died out, ‘and itis evident that the few men who are en- xaged in trying to make trouble for him are going to be very reluctant to give it up, even should they know that they could get uo assist- auce from Mr. Cleveland, ‘There is no doubt that Mr. Cleveland is going to keep his hands off the fight if one ia made. oe XT 8! THE ATE. Democrats Hopeful, but They Will Have to Make Terms With Populists. ‘The democrats are getting more hopeful that they are going to be able to organize the next Senate, but they feel now that they will be compelled to make terms with the pop- ulists all along the line in order to do so. There is a feature of the sit- uation, however, which is occasioning them wome ‘uneasiness, Dispatches today indicate that in the doubtful states generally, as in Montana, Nebraska and North Dakota, the democrats are progressing with their plan’ for combination with the populists, but the situation is such as to make it possible that in some cases there will be no election at this terih of the legislature, and that the governors may have an opportunity to appoint Senators tem- porarily. As the governors of these states are republicans this is not an agreeable prospect for those democrats who really want the Sen- ate. ——__-e-+______ THE OPPOSITION TO MORRISON. ‘The Acquiescence of Senator Palmer on the Surface Only. The acquiescence of Senator Palmer in the action of the Minois democrats in supporting Mr. Morrison for the cabinet is said to be on the surface only. None of tho anti-Morrison democrats in Illinois are believed to be any more favorable to Mr. Morrison's advancement now than they have been heretofore, and it is well known that Senator Palmer does not want and does not expect to see Morrison go into the cabinet. The statement which Mr. Scott, who is a Morrison man, got uthority from Pal- mer to make to Mr. Cleveland with relation to the attitude of the Palmer people was that Mr. Palmer would not oppose the appointment of Mr. Morrison if Mr. Cleveland himeelf de- sired to make it. The Senator would not s0; however, that he was in favor of the appoint- | ment, and neither he nor any of his lieutenants believes that the appointment will be made. MR, MURPHY’S ELECTION, John Boyd Thatcher Says There is No Doubt of It. John Boyd Thatcher of New York is in Wash- iggton today on business connected with the world’s fair. He come down froin Albany with Senator Hill and is full up to talk on the sena- torial question. He says there is not the least doubt in the world that Murphy will be elected, and it is astounding to any politi- cian who knows anything of the situation there that Cleveland should have made the break he did in publicly opposing him, Even if the op- position were better organized and bad bad Fonger time for their work it would still be im- possible for them, even with all the influence of Mr. Cleveland, to affect the election at all. ———————— SENATOK HILL ON MURPHY. He Says That But Seven Will Oppose the Latter’s Election. Senator Hill, who has just returned from Albany, tells his friends here that of all the democrats in the New York legielature the friends of Mr. Murphy can find but seven who will oppose Murphy's clec- tion. With relation to tho calling of caucus for the 10th instead of the 17th Mr. Hill tells his friends that the reason for calling it at an earlier day was that on the 9th Gov. Flower holds his reception and all the Cleve- land clectora, the entire New York delegation and most of the prominent men of the state will be there, and "that it «a ‘yought desirable that the caucus should be held the day following, while all these men were assembled, and if there was any public sentiment antagonistic to Mr. Murphy that would be the time when it ought to find expres- sion if at all. ae IN BEHALF OF MR. DODUE. East Washington Cittzens Want Him for Mr. Douglass’ Successor. ‘The committee of citizens of East Washing- ton, consisting of Rev. W. E. Parson, Evan H. Tucker, Appleton Clark and Loring Chappel, waited on President Harrison this morning for the purpose of urging the full consideration of the interests of that sectidh of the the name of Mr. W. C.

During the four days of this year eighty-five complaints have becn recorded on the books, and Health Ofticer Hammett has written a letter to Contractor Clark about them, Now the sanitary inspectors aro being utilized as garbage inspectors to investigate and report ‘on complainte. Health Officer Hammett hasabout come to the conclusion that the trouble about the non- collection of garbage must end very eoon. To a Stax reporter the doctor said the only way he thought a perfect service could be obtained was to let the District place large metallic recepta- cles in the alleys and have the citizens empty the garbage into them. Then if these vessels are not emptied it will be clearly the fault of the persons intrusted with the work. He thought that if such a plan should be put into effect the trouble about collections would end. The doctor alto spoke of the fact that there were no garbage inspectors to look after thecotplainte, find therefore the contractor was the only man to whom he could refer the complaints, ——— No Information About Elias Stafford.
