2 RS ed a “WORK OF CONGRESS “Condensed Proceedings of the Na- » thon: Law Mil Washington, Jan. 8—The oud bill ‘to amend the law relating to second- Class’ mail. matter. was passed by the _ house to-day after two days’ debate, by a vote cf 144 to 105. The opposi- tion to the’ bill made a strong tight against it. The statements made on *the floor as to its effect on certain par- ‘ticulars were very conflicting. The most important provision of the bill denies’ the serial publications admis- sion to the mails at 1 cent per pound i rates. It is as follows: ‘That noth- ing hereing contained shall be so con- strued as to admit to the second-class rate publications purporting to be is- -sued periodically and to subscribers but which are merely books or reprints of books, whether they be issued com- plete or in part, whether they be bound or unbound, whether they be sold by subscription: or otherwise, or whether ‘they purport*to be premiums or sup- plements or parts of regular newspa- pers or periodicals.” The bill also de- nies to newspapers the “sample copy’ privilege and the privilege enjoyed by newsdealers of returning unsold pub- lications at’ the second-class rate. The only other ‘important change in the present law provides that publishers whose publications are admitted as ~second-tlass matter shall be required before ‘depositing such mail matter in the postoffice to separate the same into United States mail sacks or bundles by states, cities, towns and counties as the postmaster general shall direct. The speech of Senater Call of Flori- da on Cuba‘ to-day served as the medi- um for making public a letter giving a graphic description of the Cabanas fortress of Havana and the surround- ings of the American citizens impris- oned there. The circumstances sur- rounding the letter attracted marked interest to it, as Mr. Call said it came from a public man of high standing in the United States who would shortly occupy a place in the legislative branch of the government. The let- ter deilt with the immediate ‘present and described a visit made by the writer and Gen. Lee to Cabanas fort- ress on the morning of Dec. 30. It told of the pitiful condition of the pris- oners, some of them Americans, in- cluding Julio Sanguilly and a young man who was,the companidn of Chas. Govin, the American newspaper cor- respondent killed in Cubs The. re- cital of these prisoners was given in full. Dufing the day the senate passed house bills amending the laws relating to timber culture and authorizing bre- to active or retired officers of the YY or navy. The bill exempting. settlers on pub- lic lands from paying the original goy- ernment price fixed on the lands were debated. Mr. Pettigrew of South Da- kota and Mr. Carter of Montana spoke avor, but a final yote was not Washington, Jan. 9.—The senate had a long and busy session to-day pass- ing a number of bills on the calendar, including several amendments to the law of navigation. and also the bill au- thorizing the president to reappoint to the nay. whe se has occasioned much con- Progress was made on the free homesteads on Indian lands, but a final vote was not reached. Mr. Platt opposed the bill in a lengthy speech pointing out that it would cost the government many millions. It was d osed during the day that Repre- e-elect Edward E. Robbins the author of the letters from Ha- read in the senate. The other ppment of the day resolution offered by Mr. of declaring that the power of rece ing a new republic resides in congress, recognizing the independence of Cuba and appropriating $10,000 for a United States minister to the republic of Cuba. Senator Sherman attempted to have p: ed a bill making a stand- ard grade for grain in the United States. but objections were raised and the bill went over. The house devoted the day to dis- eu ng the Pacific Ircad funding bill, but no action was taken, joint ushington, Jan. 10. The second y's debate on the vifie railroad ng bill developed by far the most ional incident of this congress. Mr. Johnson (Rep., Cal.) the only mem- ber of the California delegation who favors the funding bill, in the course of his remarks took occasion to make a remarkable vituperative personal at- ack on Editor Hearst, of the San acisco. Examiner. He described Mr. Hearst and Mayor Sutro as men who were terrorizing the Pacific coast members and made statements con- cerning the former which led Mr, Coop- er (Rep., Wis.) to characterize it later as the “most disgraceful attack in the legislative annals of the United States.” The members who had been listening attentively to Mr. Johnson's remarks—as he always one of the most entertaining speakers in the house, were thunderstruck at the lengths to which he went. Once at the last session Mr. Johnson de- nounced Mr. Hearst, but on that oc- casion he v called to order by Mr. MaGuire of California. To-day he completed his philippic without inter- ruption. The speech created a profound sen- sation, which was increased by Mr. Cooper's denunsiation of it as a cow- ardly attempt to blacken the reputation of a man of “positive genius.” Mr. ‘Cooper also took occasion to score the gentleman from California roundly for ‘his attitude toward the bill. Mr. John- son made no attempt to reply to Mr. Cooper. This incident compietely overshad- owed the interest in the debate on the funding bill and thereafter it pro- ceeded quietly to the hour when the Tecess was tiken. Those who spoke were Messrs. Patterson, Dem., Tenn.; Johnson, Rep., Cal.; Arnold, Rep., Pa. and Hepburn, Rep., Iowa, in favor of the measure, and Messrs. Harrison, Dem., Ala.; Boatner, Dem., La.; Swan- son, Dem., Va.; McCall, Rep.. Mass.; Wheeler, Dem., Ala.; Cooper, Rep., Wis.; Shafroth, Rep., Colo.; Bell, Pop.. Colo, and Parker, Rep., N. J., against it. : Washington, Jan. 12.—The debate in the house of representatives on the Pa-| cific railway funding. bill came to a close and the final vote on the bill and all amendments and substitutes will be taken to-day on the assembling of y Commander Quackenbush,., the house. The debate was of a frag- mentary character incident to a five~ minute debate and was not productive of any features new or strong. But one vote was taken, and that on the amendment of a comparatively minor importance, by- Mr.- Parker of _New Jersey, enlarging the description of the assets covered by the government lien, and requiring the assent of the secre- tary of the treasury to any sales made oh the roads under the terms of the ill. Before taking up the funding bill the house passed the senate bill for a bridge across the Red river, above Ful- ton. Ark. The Indian appropriation bill of the next fiscal year was completed by the house committee on Indian affairs, and reported to the house by Chairman Sherman. The bill carries a total of $7,465,000, which is somewhat less than the appropriation of the current year. The allowance for schools, ho ever, is increased by $200,000, and pro- vision is made for starting the new schools at Chamberlain and Rapid City, S. D., whose estabishment was provided for by the last bill. There is an item continuing the Dawes commis- sion with special salaries and>compen- sation, and $40,000 is gfven for the ex- penses of the commission of citizens who serve without compensation. Washington, Jan. 13. — The Pacific railroad funding bill went to its doom in the house ynder an adverse ma- jority of 66. The Bell substitute was defeated—110 to 158. The Harrison substitute provided for a commission to negotiate a settlement of the debt. It was rejected by a vote of 35 to 214. The vote was not taken directly on the passage of the bill, but on the pre- liminary motion to engross and read the bill a third time. r. Powers, the chairman of the P: railroad com- mittee, entered a motion to recommit the bill. A point of order was made against the motion, but.at the sug- gestion of the speaker the point was not ruled upon at that time, but will be when the house reconvenes.. After the bill was disposed of the army ap- propriation bill and several other bills were ‘passed. The army bill carried $23,126,344, or $155,558 less than that for the current year. The chief event of the senate ses- sion was an impassioned speech by Mr. Mills of Texas in favor of a resolution introduced by him to declare recogni- tion of a foreign government a con- gressional prerogative and to recognize the independence of Cuba and appro- priate $10,000 for the salary of a min- ister. There was an informal discus- sion by several senators, and Mr. Ba- con of Georgia gave notice of a speech to-morrow. Mr. Proctor made a speech in favor of a constitutional amend- ment to limit the president to one six- year term, and Mr. Allen of Nebraska made an unsuccessful attempt to se- cure the adoption of a resolution call- ing on the secretary of the navy for information as to whether contractor's men in the Brooklyn navy yard are made to work more than eight hours per day. Washington, Jan. 14.—Some lively po- litical sparring marked the later hours of the senate, The free homestead bill was under discussion and Mr. Allen found opportunity for questioning. Me Vilas of Wisconsin concerning +t party differences of last fall, It brought out much difference of opin- ion as to whether the Democratic plat- form was-made at Chicago or Indian- apolis. The homestead bill was fur- ther debated but a vote was not reached. The house witnessed a sensational sequel to the remarkable attack made by Mr. Johnson of California. on Edi- Mr. tor Hearst. Johnson and Mr. Ma- guire (Dem. were the antagonists to-day. Their wordy duel grew out of the publication in the Record, as a part of Mr. Maguire’s remarks of com- ments on the former's speech last week in which Mr. Maguire defended Mr. Hearst, and, without the mention of Mr. Johnson’s name, detailed some matters in the early life of the latter when he resided in Syracuse, N. Y. Mr. Johnson got the floor on a question of privilege. He denounced Mr. Ma- guire’s attack on him as wanton and cowardly, and told the story of his in- dictment thirty-four years ago in New York for forgery, and how he had gone out to California to rear a new home and make a new name. Mr. Ma- guire replied to Mr. Johnson in a sar- castic vein. He told how he had at- tempted to secure time in which to aeply to Mr. Johnson during*the de> bate and had been unable to do 60. Just before the adjournment Speaker Reed announced the committee ap- pointments made vacant by the death of ex-Speaker Crisp. Early in the day the speaker sustained the point of or- der against the motion to recommit the Pacific funding Dill. : . Miners in Session. Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 14—The nation- al convention of the United Mine Workers has opened here with about eighty delegates, representing nearly all the bituminous coal districts of the United States, in attendance. Presi- dent Penna in his annual address re- viewed the wage troubles of the year and said many methods had been ad- vanced as a mans for bettering the condition of the miners. Delayed. Helena, Mont., Jan. 14.—The trials of Vice President and Manager and Re- ceiver Edgerton, of the late First Na- tional bank, and of former Director E. D. Beattie and late Assistant Cashier George H. Hill, of the same institution, will not take place until late in the year. Judge Knowles, who was con- nected with the bank, does not wish to preside and no other circuit judge can be had for some time. Getting Clark of. Aberdeen, S. D., Jan. i4.—The case against G. M. Clark of. Milbank, the alleged forger and embezzler, who fled to Mexico and cut such a great figure about a year ago, will probably be dis- missed. Lawyer Null of Huron, one of the attorneys for Clark, has just re- turned,from a trip to the East, and it is believed he, closed negotiations which have been pending for some time for the non-suiting of the cases. Bought in Its Own Branch. Wallace, Idaho, Jan. 14—Special Mas- ter J. P. M.

Ramsey, Chief Jus- tice Start. of the supreme court, Sen- ators Yale, Dunhzm and Smith and Representatives Grondahl, Snyder and Hill made up the executive party. Gov. Clough proceeded to the speak- er’s desk and the oath of office ag gov- ernor was administered him by Chief Justice Start. Speaker Jones intro- duced the governor. There was great applause, which the governor ac- knowledged by bowing his head. While bowing his appreciation of the ap- plause Gov. Clough was confronted by his three-year-old grandson, Edward Hartley, who toddled up to the speak- er’s desk with a bouquet of Jacquemi- not roses, The governor picked the lit- tle fellow up, kissed him and carried him down the steps. The joint ses- sion soon adjourned. St. Paul, Jan. 9.— Senator Ringdal, the Populist member from Polk eoun- ty, presents a very radical bill for a horizontal reduction in freight and pas- senger rates under the provision of senate file 6. It provides for the max- imum fare for passengers to be 2 1-2 cents a mile, and for all classes of freight 80 per cent of the rate in force at the present time. Due provision is made for the prosecution of violators of the law, and the act is to take effect July 1, 1897. Under another bill and title Senator Ringdal proposes to abolish the rail- road and warehouse commission «and to place the duties of that commission upon the attorney ge1eral of the state, authorizing that official to employ all needed clerical assistance for the per- formance of the new duties imposed upon him. Speaking of his rate bill this morn- ing Senator Ringdal said that the rail- roads had killed the goose that laid the golden egg, and it was now time for the public to assert its rights and demard the restoration of the spoils which had been unfairly wrested from them by soulless corporations. Regular Proceedings. Senator Wyman of Hennepin intro- duced the first bill in-the senate. It appropriates $140,000 for the expenses of the present legislative session, and was passed under suspensicn of the rules. Senator Theden followed with a res- olution condemning department stores and asking that a committee of tive be appointed to investigate these stores. Senator Keller introduced a resoln- tion calling for the appointment of a committee of eleven from each house to investigate the condition of the sugar beet and potato alcohol indus- tries in Minnesota. A viva voce vote was taken and the resolution appeared to be defeated, but Senator Keller pro- tested. Senator Wyman wanted the alcohol section struck out. Alcohol, he said, was too cheap now. The Henne- pin senater won out, and the commit- tee will simply investigate the beet sugar proposition. ‘The senate ad- journed until Monday evening. In the house bills were introduced as follows: Mr. Ferris—Providing for execnting the death sentences in the state prison at Stillwater in place of the counties where criminals may be convicted. Mr. Laybourn—To repeal the struck jury law of 189: Mr. Stockwell—To repeal the struck jury law.

St. Paul, Jan. 14.—Although yester- day's session of the senate was short, an adjournment being taken shortly after the noon hour, a considerable aniount of business was_ tzansacted. Six bills were introduced and several resolutions, besides which President Gibbs announced the standing com- mittees. The resolutions introduced during the opening days of the session were called up and acted upon, and several new ones were offered. One of the new resolutions of more than ordinary interest to the taxpayers was introduced by Senator Miller of Rock county. It passed the senate by unan- imous vote.. The resolution hints at an evasion of the laws relative to the tax- ation of common carriers on their gross earnings and provides for an investi- gation by the state railroad and ware- house commission. Daniel Shell called the house to or- dey and presided during the brief ses- sion. Speaker Jones is stil confined to his apartments at the Windsor.
