The Bill to Repeal the Laws in Re- gard to Them. MR. TOCKER BEGINS THE ARGUMENT, Senator Stewart Continues His At- tack Begun Yesterday. PRESIDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY. THE SENATE. In the absence of the Vice President the Senate was presided over by Mr. Harris (Tenn.). The attendance of Senators this morning was so small that even before yesterday’s journal was read a call was demanded. It resulted in a quorum (or one over) being found present. Mr. Stewart (Nev.) presented resolutions adopted at a mass meeting held in Cleve- land, Ohio, favoring an investigation into the question whether Senators are owners of national bank stock. He expressed the hope that the investigation would be made and that the prevalent rumors as to the ownership of national bank stock having had any’ to do with the demonetization of silver would be set at rest. The sugges- tion was made sarcastically by Mr. Haw- ley (Conn.) that it shall be ascertained ex- actly how much each Senator is worth, and whether the fact that he is not a pauper has anything to do with his votes. ‘To Watt for Full Representation. Mr. Dubois (idaho) offered the following resolution, on which, he said, he would address the Senate tomorrow: Whereas, several sovereign states are without full Tepresentation in the Senate, which they are entitled to; therefore be it Resolved, That the consideration of I lation relating to the federal election laws, the tariff and finance matters, which mate- rially affect the partially unrepresented states, be postponed in the Senate until Mondky, January 15, 184, to enable the states of Washington, Montana and \Vyom- ing to have the votes, influence and pro- tection in the Senate which are guaranteed to every sovereign state by the Constitu- tion of the United States. . Against Mr. Peffer’s Resolution. The resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Peffer (Kans.), calling for information as to the anticipation of interest in the public bonds since 1861, was laid before the Sen- ate, and Mr. Sherman (Ohio) spoke against it as imposing a great deal of unnecessary labor on the Treasury Department. Th anticipation of interest on the bonds of the government ever since the war was a mat- ter of public notoriety. . Mr. Peffer thought that it was of little consequence how much labor compliance with his resolution would entail. He wanted the information, and the people wanted it. There had been, he asserted, a studied at- tempt on the part of the ‘Treasury De- ent to conceal and keep back in- formation. There would soon be a proposi- tion to issue more bonds on which to estab- ish more national banks, and to take from the people more int Mr, Sherman spoke of It as a great abuse to call on the heads of departments for in- formation which could only be furnished at t expense, and which, when sent to the te, was never looked at and never read. It was all mere buncombe. The Senator could find all the information he wanted in ublic documents. P'To @ question of Mr. Teller, Mr. Sherman replied that the anticipation of interest had been authorized by law and-was not a matter of custom. After further discussion the resolution ‘was, on motion of Mr. Quay (Penn.), laid on the table—yeas, 27; nays, 19. Mr. Stewart Wants to Go On. At the repeal bill was, on motion of Mr. Voorhees (Ind.), taken up. There was some question as to what had become of Mr. Stewart's resolution on which he spoke yesterday; and the presiding officer (Mr. Harris) ruled that, on objection yesterday by Mr. Washburn, the resolution had gone to the calendar. Then Mr. Stewart inform- ed Mr. Washburn that the onjection would net prevent him renewing the resolution and going on with his remarks. Mr. Quay however, indicated an objection to giving Mr. Stewart an opportunity to reopen his attack om the President of the United States. “I was discussing the conduct of the President,” was Mr. Stewart's emendation of Mr. Quay’s phrase. He had the floor now, but was willing to yield to the Senator from California (Mr. Perkins), who desired to address the Senate. ‘The question of the right of a Senator to “‘tarm out the floor” in that way was raised by Mr. Faulkner, and the chair ruled in that sense. A colloquy on this point was carried on for some time and was finally interrupted by the presiding officer, who declared that it was out of order and that he was per- fectly satisfied with the answer he had given to Mr. Faulkner. The Senator from Nevada (Mr. Stewart) had the floor by vir- tue of the fact that he had been recog- nized when the bill was taken up today. Mr. Stewart yielded the floor to Mr. Du Bois, who said that he preferred not to address the Senate now, but would at some future time, and he yielded to Mr. Perkins (Cal.), who took the floor and addressed the Senate in favor of repeal. It was his first speech in the body, except when he pro- nounced a eulogy on the life and charac- ter of his predecessor, Mr. Stanford. His voice was full and clear and his speech at- tracted attention. ‘Mr. Perkins closed his speech at 1:30 and was congratulated on the success of his debut. é Mr. Stewart Resumes His Attack. ‘Then Mr. Stewart resumed the floor and began his speech by reading a communi- cation recelved by him, and which was, he said, of the same character as others which had been sent to Senators on his side of the question. It reads: NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 1893. Senator Stewart: “Dear Sir: You know that your motives are mercenary. Why will you obstruct the (Continued on Sixth page.) SPECIAL NOTICES. NOTICE.

A Proposition for a Practice Course of Instruction, ‘The Cutter Chase May Be Used for That Purpose—Arguments for and Against the Scheme. ‘The Treasury ‘Department has under favorable consideration a proposition for the establishment of a cadet course in the revenue marine service, similar to that in the United States navy. A course of this character for the revenue service was au- thorized by Congress in 1876 and was tried from 1877 to 189 and then abandoned. Its new advocates say that it did not receive @ fair trial and are confident that another trial would give an entirely different re- sult. The course of instruction proposed aims at the preparation of cadets for com- missions as line officers in the rev- enue marine service. The old sys- tem was abandoned in 189, when the Treasury Department decided to draw upon the Naval Academy for its revenue marine line officers. Since then experience has demonstrated that the surplus grad- uates of the Naval Academy are not suf- ficiently numerous to meet the needs of the revenue service. Since 1891 only about fifteen naval graduates have entered the revenue service, and there are now four- tenants, which 1s" the lowest ‘sommsaiaeed wes: ne abr commission: A Practice Ship. ‘The new movement has made such favor- able progress that it is understood that the steamer Chase, which will be put in com- mission in the course of a month, will be used almost exclusively as a practice vessel for cadets. The Chase is a bark-rigged sailing vessel. She is at present out of commission and laid up at New Bedford, Mass. It is further intimated that the Chase will be given a roving commission, and that the period of cadet instruction will be spent almost en- tirely at sea. It is understood to be the tention of the Treasury Department to limit all future appointments as cadets in the revenue marine corps to young men who have received an academic or collegiate course of education. The course of instruc- tion aboard the cadet practice ship will be purely practical. College Graduates Availab! A revenue marine officer, who is well in- formed in regard to the cadet system in that service, said it would be bad policy to attempt to impart a collegiate course of instruction to cadets in addition to a profes- sional training. He pointed out that there are too many young men just graduated from college who would be glad to sign a cadet appointment to make it necessary to maintain at heavy expense a Treasury De- partment school. He argued that as the government maintains at heavy expense a national school for the instruction of young men in all that pertains to the sea, the Secretary of the Treasury should avail him- self of the facilities at Annapolis and have educated in that institution the cadets des- tined for the revenue marine corps. Cadets May Be ‘Appointed. The Secretary of the Treasury is author- ized by law to appoint cadets in the rev- enue marine corps, but no provision is made for education. The advocates of the present scheme contend that it is quite practicable for tl vllregoat? of the Treasury to ar- range e Secretary of the Navy for the detail of a limited number of revenue marine cadets to take the Annapolis course. The expenses of the latter at Annapolis would be less on the Treasury Department, it is said, than if the Secretary of the Treasury attempted to maintain these cadets at a school of its own. It is believed that the Navy Department will not offer any serious opposition to such an arrangement, and its advocates say that its consummation would undoubtedly re- sult to the benefit of the government in im- proving the revenue marine service and at the same time increasing the number of naval trained officers available in time of war. New Regulations Issued. The Secretary of the Treasury today is- sued regulations governing the admission of cadets in the revenue marine service. Among other things, they require that the candidates shall be citizens of the United States, of good moral character and not less than eighteen nor more than twenty- soe years of age. io married man ‘will be appointed a ca- det; and the marriage of a cadet will be considered as equivalent to his resigna- tion, and his name will be stricken from ue reg ee forthwith. ndidates w! Tequired to pass a sat- isfactory examination as to their physical qualifications before a board of medical officers. The mental examination, which will be entirely in writing, will be confined to the following subjects: Mathematics (includ- ing arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigo- nometry), physics, chemistry, grammar, composition and rhetoric, history, spelling, geography, literature, language (German, French or Spanish), and general informa: 01 The probationary term of cadets is two years, during which time they will be re. quired to pursue a prescribed course of study, and to perform such duties on board ship or elsewhere in the service as may be assigned them by proper authority. ———_-e-_____ The Cane of Capt.

FAVORS THE COMPANY The Commissioners Say ihe Garbage Factory is Not a Nuisance, THEIR REPORT 10 CONGRESS. Answers to the Various Questions From the Senate. DR. HAMMETT ALSOCOMMENDS At a special meeting of the board of Com- missioners this morning the reply of the board to the Senate resolution calling upon them for certain information with refer- ence to the disposition of garbage was agreed upon and transmitted. The report is signed by all three Commissioners, and says: “The Commissioners of the District of Columbia respectfully submit their an- swer to the resolution of the Senate, dated September 5, 1893, and beg the indulgence of the Senate for the unavoidable delay which has accompanied its transmission. In reply to the first interrogatory, namely, why they (the Commissioners) have permit- ted a factory for boiling and manufactur- ing into fertHizers all dead animals and garbage collected in the District of Colum- bia within the city mits, at the foot of South Capitol street, they have the honor to state that the system of collecting and disposing of garbage and dead animals heretofore in vogue within the District of Columbia has uniformly been attended with such annoyances and such just grounds of complaint on the part of the ple that the Commissioners were in- juced to give a fair trial to a system which promised better results. Until a recent period, all garbage and dead animals were conveyed to wharves at 27th and G streets northwest, and a! foot of South Capitol street, and ice laced upon barges and conveyed down the otomac river to a point outside of the Dis- trict. The accumulations at said wharves were the source of great complaint, even when daily transported therefrom, and when the river was frozen over for long periods of time, as was the case last win- ter, the accumulations necessarily became 80 great as to be a source, not only of an- noyance, but of danger to the health of the community. The officers of the National Sanitary which became the as- signee of the contractor for the collection of garbage, stated to the Commissioners that they could utilize a process for the re- duction of all garbage and dead animals by the use of superheated steam which would be entirely inoffensive and inodorous, and which would destroy ail gases generat- ed from the material during the process of destruction. It was further stated by the officers of sald company that the result of the reduction process would have a com- mercial value, and that the desire of the company to secure all the material avail- able would tend to a better and more com- plete collection of the garbage. Failed to Detect Odors. The location selected by the National Sanitary Company was near the wharf whence garbage and dead animals had long been shipped and whence all night soil was transported and in a lodality occupied mainly by brick yards and factories, and unlikely to become a residence portion of the city. The works have been in opera- tion “about five months. During that time the Commissioners have frequently in- spected the premises and have failed to observe disagreeable odors and no com- plaints have reached them until very re- cently. During the past three months the garbage service has been more satisfac than ever before. In reply to the second interrogatory the Commissigners state that said factory is situate about one and four-tenths miles from the Capitol. In reply to the inquiry whether the loca- tion of said factory at said point is not in violation of the health ordinances of the District of Columbia approved by joint resolution of Congress approved April 24, 1880, the Commissioners respectfully Btate that ‘inasmuch as they are advised that no noxious or offensive odors or gases inju- rious to public health attend the process of reduction used in said factory they have not regarded it as in violation of the ordi- nances referred to. In reply to the inquiry how far said fac- tory is located from any sewer the Com- missioners state that the nearest public sewer is distant five squares from said factory, and that two private sewers, ex- tend said factory into the Eastern branch. ‘The Commissioners are informed and be- Heve that no offal escaping from said fac- tory is drained into the open gutters of South Capitol street in violation of the ordinances approved August 16, 1862 As before stated, two sewers connect said tory with the Eastern branch, which are under water at high tide. In reply to the interrogatory whether the contractor is not required by the terms of his contract to remove outside of the limits of the District of Columbia all garbage and dead animals he collects, or to consume it into ashes, and if so, why he is allowea to manufacture such decayed and offensive substances into fertilizers in the city of Washington, the Commissioners respect- fully state as follow: By the ternt of the original contract in force from July 1, 1892, the contractor was required to remove outside the lmits of the District of Columbia all garbage and dead animals, or to incinerate the same. The act of Congress making appropria- tions for the expenses of the District of Columbia, approved July 14, 1892, contains the following clause: “For collection and removal of garbage and dead animals, $24,400: Provided, That the Commissioners of ‘the District of Co- lumbia may, in their discretion, allow, In addition tothe above sum, $2,500 in case said garbage is removed in inclosed steel tanks and immediately destroyed, which is hereby appropriated for that purpose.” ‘The appropriation act approved March 3, 1898, provided as follows: “For collection and removal of garbage and dead animals, $24,400: Provided, That the Commissioners of ‘the District of Co- lumbia may, in their discretion, allow an additional sum, not exceeding 50 cents per ton, for the removal of said’ gurbage in steel tanks or carts, and its immediate destruction within the limits of the Dis- trict, and the sum of %,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby propriated for such purposes, and the ap- propriation for the current fiscal year of 500, or 80 much thereof as may be neces- ‘sary, may be expended in the same way for the same purposes.” < ‘This clause was incorporated into the act by the subcommittee of the Senate com- mittee on appropriations after the practical completion of reduction works at the foot of South Capitol street, and after said works had been inspected by some of the members of the subcommittee. After the National Sanitary Company became the as- signee of the original contract an amended contract was entered into, whereby all gar- bage and dead animals were to be treated at the reduction plant. In reply to the inquiry whether the con- tractor is paid an extra price for manufac- turing said garbage and said dead animals into fertilizers instead of incinerating them, and if so, how much, the Commissioners respectfully reply that no extra price is paid the contractor for manufacturing gar- age and dead animals into fertilizers, but 60 cents per ton is paid the contractor for all garbage collected in closed steel tanks and destroyed at said factory, in accord ance with the terms of the act of Congress above referred to. Dally Collection: In reply to the inquiry whether said con- tractor is paid an extra price for collecting daily the garbage of the entire cities of Washington and Georgetown, and if 0, how much, and {f the complaints from citt- zens and reports of inspectors do not show that sald garbage is not collected daily, the Commissioners state that the appropriation act approved March 3, 1893, contains the following clause: “Provided further, That salad Commission- ers may, in thelr ‘discretion, in case the safety and health of the District in their (Continued on Sixth page.) AN EXCITING EPISODE. Senator Palmer Takes Senator Stewart to Task for His Charges. He is Asked to Name a Single Senator Influenced by the President, bat Dodges. —— At % o'clock rather an exciting episode occurred in the Senate proceedings which enlivened the monotony of Senator Stewart's contihued attack ‘upon the Presi- dent. He was reading from a number of Papers concerning the President's alleged interference with legislative matters when he was interrupted by Senator Palmer, who asked if he would make a single specific charge against the President or if he would hold himself personally responsible for the general charges that had been made in the papers. Mr. Stewart became quite excited and waving his arms more vigorously than usual claimed that he had made ample charges against the President, but dodged the question of responsibility. A Hot Controversy. Then ensued rather a hot controversy between the two Senators, and fists were shaken and arms waved and desks pounded for about ten minutes that threatened the dignity of the Senate. Senator Stewart claimed repeatedly that the President had secured control of a number of Senators by means of patronage. Senator Palmer asked Senator Stewart to mention a single name of a Senator who had been so influenced. Mr. Stewart called out loudly, “Let us have a political investigation.” came from the two Senators could hardly be distinguished, but Senator Palmer's voice was finally heard saying, “If the Sen- name of a Senator who has been so influ- enced I will gladly vote for an investiga- tion.” ° Mr. Stewart ridiculed this and once more pounded the desk in front of Senator Paim- er in his vehemence. A Suggestion of Impeachment. “He will vote to investigate a Senator,” said Mr. Stewart, “but he would not vote to impeach his executive.” ——_____+ 2+_ REPORTED GOLD SHIPMENTS.
