Both Branches Seem fo Be Getting Down to Business, THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL Taken Up for Action by the House of Representatives. MB. DINGLEY’S SPEECH. He Compares the Work of This With the Former Congress. SENATE, In presenting a petition of the St. Louis chapter of the American Institution of Archi- tects of St. Louis, Mo., asking for the passage of the House bill relating to the appointment of architects for the erection of govern- ment buildings for tho government, Mr. Vest (Mo.) said that for several years the architects of the United States, through their organizations and individually, had come to Congress asking for the passage of & lew compelling the supervising architect of the Treasury Department to advertise for plans and specifications from the architects of the country, for all public buildings erected by the government. A bill bad passed the louse of Representatives some weeks ago pro- viding such legislation, and containing a clause that the superviring architect of the ‘Treseury Department should pay a reasonable price to the architects who submitted plans and specifi- cations. The effect of that provision would have been that eny architect could bare comoto Washington or remained away and sent his plans and specifications and then had a claim against the government for $500 or €1,000, ‘us the case inight be. ‘That bill bed come over to the Senate committee on public buildings and grounds. The committee had struck out that provision and changed the bill as it hed passed tho Senate the other day. Tho change made was only that architects would be paid whose plans and specifications were accepted by the Treasury Department. In other words, the bill as passed by the Senate applied the same rule to the business of the government as every gentleman would apply to bis own busi- d only the successful architect in the petition was to be paid. He hoped that the statement would answer all the lettors sent on the subject. BILLS PASSED. House bill granting to the Santa Fe, Prescott and Phenix Railway Company the right of way across the Whipple Barracks military reserva- tion in Arizona was taken from the calendar and passed. ‘The Benate then proceeded to the considera- tion of unobjected Houre bills on the calendar and passed the following: To restore to the public domain a portion of the White Mountain Apache Indian reservation in Arizona (with amendments). To ratify and confirm agreement between the Puyallup Indians and the Northern Pacific Railroad Company for right of way through the Puyallup reservatio There were also sixteen Honse passed. The Senate bill for the relief of the assignees or legal representatives of John Roch, deceased, to pay the balance due on the United States ship Dolphin (88,165), was taken from the calendar, and, after some ‘opposition by Mr. MePherson (N. J.), was passed. THE DOCTRINE OF ASYLUM. ‘Mr. Turpie (Ind.) offered the following reso- lution, which was ldid on the table and ordered printed: Believing that the doctrine of asylum, | as practiced and approved ‘bya very large majority of the members of the family of na- tions, is highly expedient, and that jurisdiction in what are known as political offenses ought not to be extra __ territorial, it is concluded, as the sense of the Senate, that no treaty should be approved which proj to oust the courts or magistrates of the United States of the right to determine in each case under the allegations and proof therein whether the offense charged be politi¢al or not political under the law of nations. ‘The Vice President appointed Messrs. Cal- Jom (Ill) and White (La.) on the board of vis- itors at the next annual examination of cadets at the West Point Academy. THE NzW YORK BRIDGE. Mr.Blackburn (Ky.) moved to proceed to the consideration of Senate bill to authorize the New York and New Jersey bridge companies to construct and maintain a bridge across the Hudson river between New York city and the state of New Jersey (the bill originally in- troduced by him March 18, 1892, and reported adversely May 20, 1892). Mr. Callom (I11.) rose to make a statement, but was met by the objection (from Mr. Black- burn) that the motion was not debatable, I know it is not, said Mr. Cullom; if it were I would say something. So would I, retorted Mr. Blackburn. hope the motion will not prevail, eaid Mr. Cullom. { hope it will, rejoined Mr. Blackburn. The vote was taken and Mr. Blackburn's mo- tion was defeated—yeas, 22; nays, 34. THE CAR COUPLER BILL. The Senate then resumed consideration of the substitute reported from the committeo on interstate commerce “to promote the safety of employes and travelers upon railroads by com- polling common carriers engaged in interstate commerce to equip their cars with automatic couplers and continuous brakes, and their locomotives with driving-wheel brakes. In the course of his explanation of the bill Mr. Culiom (Ill), who was in charge of it, said (in answer to questions) that there were 1,100,000 freight cars in the country; that there were forty different pat- terns of antomatic couplers which worked together, and that if owners of 75 per cent of the freight cars agreed upon a particular t} of couplor the interstate commerce comiale. sion would fix that as the one to be used. ‘Mr. Harris (Tenn. ) asked Mr. Cullom whether the railroad companies were not adopting the automatic conpler as rapidly as their financial condition would enable them. ‘Mr. Cullom admitted that railroad companies insisted that they were doing the best they could, but not one-third of freight cars were provided with couplers or brakes, ‘Mr. Vilas (Wis.) asked Mr. Cullom whether he knew of any instance where a railroad com- pany deferred paying dividends in order to adopt means to protect the lives of ite em- joyes. als oullomstante a0) teciance of the hind, ‘The troubie was that railroad companies were Jooking more to finances than to the protection of the lives and limbs of their employes. Mr. Wolcott (Col.) inquired whether the as- sociation of freight men had not protested against the adop’ ti expressed a preference for the link and pin? "Mir. Callom admitted that the freight men would prefer the link and pin rather than bave variety of couplers were now bei used, but if there was o uniform eotabe lished they would, of course, be in favor of it, ‘He gave statistics of the lows of life and limb by railroad employes through accidents, and said that the country looked to Con- gress to hasten the time when such tre- in eight years was equal to the lg im. Tallroed service one ‘These men, he said, would be esfer if enlisted in the army in time of war than thoy wore now, as railroad employes.

[Laughter.} House. The reading of the journal having been com- pleted, the Speaker stated that without objec- tion it would stand approved. | tasty the republican Senate (anit was then, but as it on ths journal. According to that inetrument the Houre had accomplished nothing yesterday. The Speaker (smiling) replied that the Journel aw correct and it was thereupon approved. There were anumber of Houre bille, with Senate amendments, nen the Speaker's table, and their appropriate disposition consumed « deal of time. Among those in which was that relating to contracts of common car- tiers (by water) and to ascertain obligations, duties and rights in connection with the car- nage of property. the Harter bill or lading bill.) ‘Mr. Bacon (N. Y.), from the committee on banking and currency, reportedaresolution call- ing on the Secretary of the Treasury for infor- mation as to the names of banks, banking asso- ciations and companies which have communi cated with him asking for the repeal of the ‘Sherman silver law. Adopted. THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL. The House then proceeded in committee of the whole to the consideration of the legislative appropriation bill. Mo.), in charge of the measure, propriations carried by the Dill amounted to $21,654,498 against an appro- Driation of $21,900,182 for the current fiscal Your and against an estimate of $22,170,074. tions at ‘this session would aggregate £531,000,000. As they were $507,000,000 at the last seseion, the total appropriation made by this Congress would reach @1,033,000,000 aguinst 988,000,000 made br the Fifty-first Congress, an increase of $50,000,000, The actual current expenditures paid by taxation for the fiscal years 1891 and 1892, covered by the last Con- grees, were €700,000,000. The actual expendi- Congress, would probably reach at $730,000,000. The revenues for the present fiscal year would reach at least $336,000,000, probably from two to four millions more, and the expenditures $354,- 000,000. If there should be no tariff legislation to dis- turb, the revenue for the fiscal year 1894 would undonbtedly reach 405,000,000 and the expenditures should not excced $390,- 000,000, and would not if the river and harbor expenditures should not exceed $15,000,000, which was 2,000,000 more than was ever ex- pended. If they should go up to €33,000,000, ax contemplated by the action of the House, there would inevitably be a deficiency next Year even with a revenue of 405,000,000. The tariff legislation foreshadowed would un- doubtediv diminish the revenue. unless the duties should be made low enough to enor- mously swell importations. The wool and woolens bill passed by the House ut the last session would surrender nine and o half millions revenue on wool and nineteen and 9 half millions on manufactures of wool, on the Jeast |‘ yenr,aud it would require an cnormous in- | crease of importations of woolen goods to the extent of eight millions, ranning up to one hundred and seventeen millions, to make good the lows, DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. THE NORFOLK AND WESTERN PILL. During the consideration of the calendar in the Senate today the Norfolk and Western bill was reached. Mr. Faulkner, who had the bill in charge, called attention to the fact that Mr. Gorman, who is opposed to the bill, was absent, and asked that the measure be | out prejudice for the present. Therequest was granted. FOREIGN MATERIAL IN THE LIBRARY BUILDING. Gen. Cusey, chief of engineers, has forwarded to the Senate, in reply to a resolution adopted by that body calling on him for a state- | ment of the contracts made for foreign material used or to be used in the construction of the new library building, @communication giving the bids in all cases where foreign material las been used and the contracts as well. ‘The statement shows that in each cave where there were a number of bids that the lowest one was accepted and gives reasons why the material was sclected as being the best for the purpose to which it was put. The contracts tor foreign materials are follows: For enameled brick, to James McGill of this city at a total of $38,035; for Portland cement, first contract, with James H. McGill for $1,548: second contract, Max Kauttenau of New York for third contract, Haebler & Co., for 8 total of $6,981 for Portland cement, Veined white marble, W. H. Evans of Palti- more, for $325,100. ‘The foreign ‘materials for which contracts will have to be made are mahogany wood for doors, window sashes and reading tables, 30,000 feet, to cost about $6,000, and 7,000 bazrels of Portland cement, to cost about €15,000. THE JURISDICTION OF JUSTICES OF THE PEACE. Senator Mitchell favorably reported from the judiciary committee and by unanimous consent had passed, without opposition, the bill to give justices of the peace in the Dis- trict of Columbia jurisdiction to hear, try and | determine all civil pleas and actions including attachment and replevin, when the amount claimed to be due or the value of the property sought to be recovered shall not eacecd $300, except in cases where the title to real estate is in issue, actions for malicious prosecution, actions against justices of the peace or other officers for misconduct in office, and actions for slander, verbal or written, and actions for damages for breaches of promise to marry. TRE G. A. BR. ENCAMPMENT EXPENDITURES. The Secretary of War transmitted to the House today a detailed statement of the ex- penditures from the amount appropriated by Congress for the Grand Army encampment, amounting to $87,651.65. ‘The secretary ‘reports that there is no out- standing indebtedness on account of the en- campment, all bills having been paid. vores, Secretory of the Treasury Foster has for- warded to Congress the Commissioners’ esti- mates for deficiencies in the District govern- ment for the current year. : Senator Allison introduced today in the Sen- ate the petition of the Memorial Association of the District of Columbia praying for an ap- prepriation with which to purchase the house which Lincoln died, &c.
