The Amendment to the Sundry Civil Bill in the House, A BIG FIGHT IN PROSPECT. Mr. Holman Offers a Cloture Res- olution Today. WORK OF THE SENATE. Most of the Time Occupied With the Legislative Bill. SENATE. After considering «bill of purely local im- Portance the Senate took up the legislative ap- Propriation bill. A conference was ordered on the military academy bill and Messrs. Cullom (Ill.), Stewart Rev.) and Call (Fla.) were appointed conferees | on the part of the Senate. House bill regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors was taken up and discussed until 1 p.m., when it was laid without final action and the legislative appropriation bill was taken up and all the committee amendments were agreed to. ‘On motion of Mr. Sherman (Ohio) and after explanation, an amendment was agreed to, ordering the words ‘Welland caual” to be struck out of the act of January 19, 1878. aid vessels wreeked or disabled in co-terminous to the United States a Dominion of Canada.” ‘The explanat to the effect that as the Welland canal was er tirely in Canadian territory the existence o: these words in the law was an obstacle to its execution aa interfering with the principle of 1¢ question of clerks to Senators was taken up in the shape of a substitute offered by Mr. iawley (Conn.) to the amendent reported by the committee providing for thirty-five clerks to Senators who are not chairmen of committe s at 6 per day during the session. (Total, 44,500). The substitute was to make these clerks annual clerks at $1,265 a year (244,275). m was In the course of the discussson on this «ub-| ject. Mr. Dawes, (Mass.) in charge of the bill, predioted that members of the House of Repre- sentatives would before long be compelled to adopt the method of having clerks. The substitute was agreed to. The next amendment giving rise to discui sion wasone by the committee on ap- propriations to strike out of the bill a para- Braph abolishing the Utah commission. and substituting for ita paragraph appropriating 10,000 forthe compensation of the five com: missioners. On motion of Mr. Cobb (Mo.) Senate bill was passed authorizing the St. Louis and Madison ‘Transfer Company to construct a bridge across the Mississ:ppi river at St. Louis. Mr. Holman (In@.), from the committee on appropriations, reported back the suadry civil | appropriation bill, with Senate amendments thereto. He asked unanimous consent that a formal noncurrence be made to all the Senate | amendments except amendment seventy-five, | the Sherman bond amendment. Mr. Bland said that the Senate had added to the bill new legislation of a far-reaching-char- acter, legislation which opens up a new finan- cial scheme. Mr. Dingley (Me.)—I object to debate. Mr. Bland—Then I object to any agreement | and ask that the bill be referred to the com- mittee of the whole, Mr. Holman then moved that the bill be sent to the committee of the whole. MR. BLAND ON “sons,” + Mr. Bland—As I stated » moment ago, in view of the fact of this important amendment, a fair opportunity for debate and considera- tion of it must be had, and we will not submit to the forcing of this bill through the House in the closing hours of Congress, when all such jobs are tried to put through under whip and spur. ‘Mr. Holman—There is no such proposition. On the contrary, I intimated very clearly that my purpose was to get the one question before the committee of the whole, so that it might be properly considered. I trust that tho gentle- man will not insist at this late hour—when the business of the House and Senate is so mach delayed. Mr. Bland—That is always the plea when the Senate puts on jobs at the last moment. The bill was sent to the committce of the whole. Mr. Peel (Ark.)—Moved that the House go | into committee of the whole for the considera tion of general appropriation bills. ANTI-OPTIONS AGAIN DEFEATED. Mr. Hatch (Mo.)—Opposed this motion with his anti-option bill. Pending a vote, Mr. Hemphill (S, C.) pre- sented conference report on bill to provide a permanent system of highways in the District of Columbia. Mr. Hatch raised the question of considera- tion and the House refused—134 to 96—to con- sider the report. Mi ir.

On motion of Mr. Rockwell the paragraph was stricken out which appropriates $20.000 to reimburse the Choctow orp! DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. SUBURPAN BIoBWars. Mr. Hemphill made an effort in the House day to call up the conference report in the bill to provide a uniform system of suburban high- ways for the District, but he was opposed by the Indian appropriation bill and his motion was defeated. The conference report went over without prejudice and will be called up at the first favorable opportunity. CAPITOL TOPICS. THE CAR COUPLER BILL. The friends of the car coupler bili are organ- izing for a big fight in the House next week. They say that if the bill is not cr dup next Monday in accordance with the agement they will filibuster against everything that is pre- sented, and that they will keep up the filibuster se if the vote is not reached before | fi it, THE PANAMA INVESTIGATION.

He does not advise her restoration under any other circumstances. If the Congress of the United States shall not deem a protectorate feasible he would then favor annexation, with liberal allowance for the queen and Princess Kiaulani, but he strongly objects. to the con. | tinuance of thé present provisional government | in power. THE COMMISSIONERS WILL REMAIN. Messra, Thurston, Castle and Carter of the | Hawaiian annexation commission bave aban- |doned their purpose of sailing for Honolulu | March 3, and will remain in Washington until the Senate actson the pending treaty. The change of plans is undoubtedly due to the ap- Proaching visit of the Princess Kaiulani.in com- Pany with Mr. T. H. Davies, who has been | Supervising her education in’ England. It is | reported that Mr. Davies, acting on bebalf of the princess, proposed to Minister Lincoln in London to accept a protectorate on the part of the United States for the princess, Queen Liliuokalani’s claims to the throne to be ignored | iu case the proposition was accepted. TRE PROPOSITION To DR. SMITH. To Dr. Mott Smith, the Hawaiian minister in Washington, it is said Mr. Davies made a similar Proposition, although somewhat more extended. | This was, it is said, that the United States | should establish the princesson the throne of Hawaii under a protectorate and a regency for ® term of three years, at the expiration of that period a new arrangement to be made for the government of the islands satisfactory to the United States. Mr. Davies suggested that 8. B. Dole, the president of the present provisional | government of Hawaii, should be regent under the arrangement that he suggested. It is said that the action of Mr. Davies in bringing the princess to the United States was taken | against the counsel of her friends both in this country and in Honolulu, but that Mr. Davies, in communications upon the subject, has ex- pressed his opinion that a visit to the United States by the princess could not fail of result- ing in benefit to her cause. IN REAL LIFE, Father Columbi is the Court About His Various Enterprises. Today was the fourth day of the trial of Father Columbia on a charge of vagrancy and suspicion, and when court convened Father Columbia resumed the stand and continued the story of his life and actions since he was four years old. Yesterday cording to the statements of the defendant his wealth had reached $10,000 and today it rose to the amount of $600,000,000. That he | said was the value of the property of the Harlem syndicate, which had twenty miles of Tiver front. Defendant impressed upon the court the idea that he did not care to own any money or property in his own name, but he acted as agent or trustee. He presented a certificate of the Harlem | syndicate bearing the signature C. M. Coen, president, and H Standiford. secretary. ‘The certificate showed that Father Columbia wae the owner of 3,366 shares based upon the eapi- tal stock of the Harlem Associated Heirs ‘Title Company. Among other things he said he was at one time elected district attorney of Richland county, Obio, and was private secretary to Stephen A. Douglass when the latter ran for President. He was introduced to John Kelly, the Tam- | many chief. Benjamin F. Butler, he said, was his counsel at one time and bad he lived he would have been in this case instead of Mr. | Williamson, | Among those he mentioned as persons be had known in some way or other were Peter | Cooper, Jere S. Black, Gen. Freemont, John | Sherman, Warner Miller, George W. Geddes, B. F. Shively, Henry Nicholas, Secretary Fos- ter. Judge Bartley, Roger A. Pryor, Henry I. Raymond and John Swinton. He had built mills, had been arrested for libels and had been acquitted, had pent three a Ludlow street jail on a false charge, and is now under bail in New York on a charge of libel. COL. SELLERS A STEAMBOAT ENTERPRISE. Defendant explained his business transactions in this city as well as in other cities, among them being the running of a steamboat on the Hudson river, where he carried passengers for 10 cents, a much lower price than had ever before been charged. His particular mission was to test the ques- tion of the right to land at any dock. He had trouble when he attempted to land at Yonkers, and he bad his men engage ina battle with rocks, ‘The result was that the docks were declared open to the public and the per arrested were prosecuted.

Mr. Pugh questioned the defendant about his family and he said that after his name was changed he and his wife wore remarried. PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATIONS. When the court convened after recess Father Columbia had spread on the counsel table, in addition to a mass of papers, several bottles of liquid refreshments and two boxes of candiea, Then there was a bottle of mixed tea. Father Columbia passed around the candy, but did not offer to open the bottles, When he resumed his position on the stand he explained how he could ecll tea at 40 cente a pound when in the regular way it would cost | the consumer from 75 centa to $1.8 pound. He jsaid he bought the tea through a New York rm. Then he explained how he had medicated the wines and could sell thom at figures far below others. “Columbia's Favor” was the name of one of the wines, and defendant explained that it was not bis, but the country’s favorite, a “Lam getting ready to disappear,” he said, “but the country will still be here.” MILLIONS IN IT. Following this he told of how he bonght thousands of barrels of sugar at reduced prices, and said that 100 pounds of the sugar would make 110 pounds of candy. He aid that the most important thing in the manufacture of candy was the use of chemically pure water.

How the Mouse Shall Accommodate the New Members. Speaker Crisp has in bis private drawer in the Tules committees room a number of plans out- lined on paper suggesting changes in the appear- | ance of the hall of the House of Representatives. The birth of these plans is due to the necessity of Providing some means for the accommodation of twenty-three additional members of the House, who, under the apportionment of thelast Congress, will be entitled to seate in the Pufty- | third Congress. Ex-Speaker Reed and Bourke | Cochran of New York, are the fathers of the ‘most radical of all the plans. ‘They are believ- |erm tm the evstem of seating members on ‘hes, as is done in the le soy my me 9 and of removing the desks now in the House tives, ‘nder their plan the ball of the House would than balf ite present sizeand in the provided be not | mense hall wherein they now sit, and are, therefore, in debate at a disadvantage with some lusty | Tepresentative with the voice of the buil of . Mr. Reed and Mr. Cock- ran believe that the chafge would give life to the debates and make the proceedings more in- teresting than they now are with members writing. reading and doing almost everything save listening to the orators around them. A DECIDED onsEcTION. It is open to one very decided objection, how- wer, which ite authors concede, and that is that it would be frequently very difficult to | transact business under the present par- | liamentary rules which make « majority }of the total membership of the House necessary to constitute a quorum. It is not believed that if compelled to sit on benches im @ small room where neither amok: conversation could be indulge: members would attend regularly in sufticient numbers to make upaquorum. The plan would be sure to meet many objections in Honse, | 8 would cost #100,000, and is, therefore, out of the question *o far asthe present Congress ie concerned though the whole matter may be- | come a topic of discussion in the next Congress. Another proposed pian contemplates the | removal of the rear interior wall of the chamber as it exists at present and the | setting of the Speaker's chair and the clerk's desk back about ten feet ore now occupied as a member's lobby. would enlarge the capacity of the House, give aconsiderable space in front of the Speaker's desk and enable the increased number of mem- bers in the next House to be seated on the revent plan, the rows of desks being simply Eonger than now, WHAT WILL PRORADLY BE DOXR. The plan, however, which is likely to be adopted for the next Congress at least is simpler than any of the others. It merely proposes to remove the rail back of the rear row of members’ desk sufficiently to permit twelve new seats to be placed in a row on each side of the House. This change would Give seats to ail the members, would cost only about @2,000 and could be paid for out of the contingent fund of the House on a simple or- der from the Speaker. It is likely to be adopted as an expedient, ee the other plans would necessitate legislation by Congress for which there is no time at this stage of affairs. In the next Congress, if members have any substitute plan to propose they can bring at forward,and that Congress can consider the whole subject and enact such legislation with reference to future quarters as may be deemed advisable, .
