i | CONGRESS RESUME OF THE WEEK’S PROCEEDINGS. yy & ‘The Senate. Wasbington, April 25. — Hon. M. S. Quay yesterday was refused a seat in the United States senate, on the ap- pointment of the governor of Pennsyl- vania, by a vote of 33 to 82. The en- tire time of the senate yesterday was devoted to debate upon the question, many of the greatest lawyers and ora- tors in the body delivering speeches. As the day's session wore on and the hour for the final yote approached the galleries gradually filled until they were thronged with multitudes, while other multitudes were unable to gain admission, On the floor of the senate was cvery member of the body now in the city and scores of members of the house of representatives. The great throng listened with deep attention to the brilliant argument of Mr. Spooner in favor of the seating of the former Per vania senator, and to the dra- matic and fiery eloquence of Mr. Daniel of Virginia, who appealed to his col- rues to do what, on his oath as a ator he deemed right, and vote to ¢ to him who was knocking at spate Goors. the big clock opposite the presi- nt pro tem. marked 4 o'clock there was a hush in the chamber. Mr. Frye,, in the chair, announced that the‘hour for the final vote had arrived, and the ion was the pending motion of Mr. Chandler to strike out of the mo- tion declaring Mr. Quay not to be en- d to a seat, the word “nof.” Sena ¢ throughout the chamber eagerly followed the roll call, for all knew the vote would be close. The first sensa- tion was caused by the failure of Mr. Pettigrew of South kota to answer to his name, although he was in his seat. When Mr. Vest’s name was called he voted “no” in a clear distinct voice, thus dashing the last hope of the friends of Mr. Qu who had expected confidently that the Missourian would vote for his long time personal friend. In perfect silence it was announced that the senate had denied to Mr. Quay the seat he has sought for some months past. ? ¢ ee > _% @ 2 the The Uouse. hense yesterday, Mr. Hill of Connecticut alone objecting, adopted the Foraker emergency resolution to continue the present officers in Porto ico in office until the appointments are made under civil government act as amerded by the committee on insular aff The amendments require that all franchises shall be approved by the president before they become operative and place certain restrictions, such as the issuing of stock or bonds except . and inhibiting real est: tions except such as is neces- sary to carry oat the purposes for «hich they are created. About twenty pages of the postoftice appropriation pill were disposed of, the only sub- stantial amendment adopted being one to give extra compensation to letter carriers who work in excess of forty- eight hours a week. The The House. Washington, April 26. — The house yesterday put its heel upon the mail pneumatie system now in operation in New York, Boston and Philadelphia, and if its acvtion stards the whole ser- yice will be crushed out. The postoffice committee had recommended an in- evease of the appropriation for this service from $225,000 to $725,000. ‘The proposed incre: was attacked by the appropriations committee under the leadership of Mr. Meody of Massachu- setts with such vigor and success that in the end the house voted by 70 to 59 to strike the entire appropriation from he bill. Mr. Moody created a sensa- tion by the manner in which he as- sailed the methods of the pneumatic tube company, and a direct charze that a former member of con had beer a member ef the appro tions cein a holde that a bloc ha a New Year's gift to a ne; another member of esngre: credit of the member he honoring gift had been re sender by the ne Although the tube service was h y commended by her members, these revelations traus ed the sentiment of the house ich has several times voted for the tube service into a decisive majority nst its’ continuation in any form. Mr. Tawney of Minnesota offered as an amendment a bill to reclassify rail- way mail clerks but it went out on a point of order. The Senate, After a brief debate yesterday the senate agreed to the conference report on the Hawaiian civil government bill. ‘The agricultural appropriation bill was passed, carrying a little over $3.000,000. The Alaskan civil government bill was under consideration for an hour but no progress was made. <A joint resolution authorizing the exhibit of government relics at the New York printing exposi- tion was adopted. red to the Washington, April — Almost the entire session of the senate yesterday was devoted to consideration of the right of Nathan B. Scott of West Vir- ginia to retain his seat in the senate. Mr. Pettus of Alabama, who alone of the members of the committee on priv- ileges and elections is opposed to the claim of Mr. Scott to a seat, made an elaborate argument to sustain his views. Mr. Morgan of Alabama spoke in favor of his colleague's contention. Mr. McComas of Maryland, Mr. Turley of Tennessee, Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire, Mr. Teller of Colorado and Mr. Allen of Nebraska supported the resolution declaring Mr. Scott entitled to his seat. The case went over with- out action. The House. After four days of discussion the house yesterday passed the postoffice appropriation bill. The attempt to strike out the $196,000 for special mail facilities from New York to New Or- leans and from Kansas City to Newton, Kan., met the fate it has ever since the appropriation was placed in the bill in 1883. No one demanded a separate vote upon the amendment striking out the pneumatie tube provision, and the hhouse, by a large majority, stood by tne amendment to give extra compen- sation to letter carriers for work in excess of forty-eight hours a week, al- though the carriers are said to be op- posed to it. The bill to increase the salary of the director of the census to $7,500 and the salaries of supervisors” of census to 2 per cent of the amount received by their enumerators was passed. The final conference report on the Hawaiian government bill was presented but not acted upon owing to the absence of a quorum. The Senate. Washington, April 28.—The senate yesterday voted upon the resolution declaring Nathan B. Scott to be en- titled to his seat in the senate from West Virginia. The number of votes in the negative was only three. The Alaskan code bill took up the rést of the day saye for an announcement concerning the Clark case, The Honse. The house broke all records yester- day by passing ninety-one private pensior bills. Among them was ‘one to pension at the rate of $40 a month the widow of the late Col. John M. Stotzenberg, of the First Nebraska, who was killed in the Philippines. Conference report on the Hawaiian government bill was adopted and now goes to the president. The Seunte. Quite unexpectedly Saturday the sen- ate was brought face to face with the proposition to extend its sympathy to the Boers in their war with Great Britain. In the mids of the considera- tion of bills of minor importance Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota called up the following resolution and asked for its in.mediate consideration: “Whereas: From the hour of achiev- ing their own independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other people to free themselves from Euro- pean Combinations; therefore, 4 “Be it Resolved, That we watch with deep and abiding interest the herne battle of the South African republics against cruelty and oppression, and our best hopes go out for the full sue- cess of their determined contest for liberty.” When Mr. Ledge of Massachusetts had formally ascertained that no com- mittee had reported the resolution to the senate he moved that it be re- ferred to the committee on foreign re- lations. Without a word of debate the vote was taken, 31 senators voting in favor of referring and 11 against it. As the vote disclosed the absence of a quorum an effort was made to secure one, but it was unsuccessful, and the senate adjourned. The House, The house passed a number of bills of importance and the balance of the session was devoted to the senate bill to create a commission to adjust the claims of citizens against Spain as- sumed by this country by the treaty of Paris. The bill developed considerable opposition and was finally recommitted to the eccmmittee on war claims, with instructions to report back a bill to re- fer the claims to the court of claims, The Senate, Washington, May 1. — Again the question of extending sympathy to the Boers was thrust upon the senate. This time it came in the form of call- ing up fr the calendar Mr. Petti- srew's resolution which was’ before the senate last Saturda The motion was defeated, 29 to 20. The conference report cn the joint resolution regard- ing Porto Rico was agreed to. The Alaszan code ‘bill was taken up but no progress made.

The senate bill to create a commission of five to in- vestigate and report upon\the com- mercial and industrial conditions in China and Japan was debated at length but was vigerously antagonized by the Democrats, and they finally suc- ceeded .in striking out the enacting clause in committee, and this motion was pending when the house ad- journed.

The bill for a constitutional amendment to disqualify polygamists for election as senators and representatives and to prohibit polygamy, which was reported by the committee on the election of president, vice president and representatives in congress, was referred to the commit- tee on judiciary after meeting with op- position from both sides.of the house. Every speaker who antagonized the bill said he opposed polygamy, but did not see any reason for legislating in the constitution and invading the rights of the states. The house agreed to the conference report on the joint resolution extending the tenure of military officers in Porto Rico. and restcra HUGE ROCK BLOWN UP.

Statis- ties. si The prosperity of the laboring man is evidenced by a report on savings banks issued by Gen. Pope, public examiner. According to the Statistics, the savings deposits in the eleven banks in Minne- Sota aggregated $11,560,917.28, in Jan- Vary, $11,605,581.83 in February, and $11,852,411.43 in March, thus marking an increase of $40,000 during the first month of the year and $250,000 more in the thirty days following, the latter be- ing an average of over $10,000 for each bank. . ‘There are only eleven savings banks in the state, and these are patronized by the class of people who lay aside the pennies and nickels. The savings de- posits in the eleven institutions, there- fore, indicate more accurately than any other statistics possibly could that the laboring men throughout the state are not only making a living, but are mak- ing enough to put their Savings by at the remarkable rate of $250,000 per ‘|month. Unfortunately, no comparative estimates are to be had for periods pre- ceding Jan. 1. Gen. Pope, however, Says that it was rather unusual to find the deposits increased at this time of the year when employment among the working classes is, as a rule, none too” plentiful.

Escorted by the members of the general com- mittee, Admiral Dewey and Lieuten- ants Caldwell and Crawford proceed- ed down the long platform and mount- ed the steps leading to the driveway, where carriages’ were in waiting. Even under the vigorous pressure of the police, the immense crowd couid hardly yield’ enough room for the ear- riages, but cheered continually and pressed closer. The police finally suc- ceeded in clearing the streets and the party proceeded down Harrison street en route to the Auditorium annex, where apartments overlooking Lake Michigan had been reserved. Arriving at the hotel Admiral Dew- ey proceeded at once to his apartments where, however, he was sllowed to rest but briefly, for, at 12:30 he was escorted to an informal breakfast giv- en the admiral and Mrs. Dewey by the members of the women’s reception committee. At 2:30 the admiral was given a reception by the Canadian- American association, which presented an invitation to him to visit Canada at his pleasure. The Great Balt. Neyer in the history of the great Au- ditorium has there been within its walls a sight more beautiful than that revealed last night when the great ball given in honor of Admiral Dewey was at its height.

It was a decisive success from first to last in all details from the decorations on the walls to the reception proper which was tendered to the admiral. The admiral and Mrs. Dewey after they had exchanged greetings with the members of the reception commit- tee were presented tothe guests of the city who had followed them into the hall. Then came in long lines the guests of the ball, all who desired be- ing afforded an opportunity of greet. ing the admiral and his wife. THE MARKETS.

Magnificent Celebration of the Anni- yversary of the Battle of Manila. Chicago, May 38.—Yesterday’s cele- bration, the first in America at which Admiral Dewey could be present on the anniversary of the battle of Ma- nila bay, was worthy of the famous victory. Fully 660,000 people were gathered along the line of march of yesterday's parade and for four hours the admiral was busy bowing ac- knowledgments of the cheers that met him from all sides. When the parade entered the thickly crowded streets down town the admiral met with his real recevtion, and it was most en- thusiastic. The cheers made practi- cally one continuous roar, at many times so loud that it was difficult to hear the music of the band which marched ahead of the admiral’s car- riage. The sidewalks were packed from curb to walls and every window which afforded a sight of the parade was filled with as many heads as could be thrust through it. After traversing the business part of the city the parade was reviewed by Ad- mirat Dewey in the presence of thou- sands of people wedged in a literally solid mass for blocks on either hend. A luncheon at the Union League club followed at 8 p.m. Admiral Dewey and his aides were the guests of the University elub, while Mrs. Dewey and the members of the women’s re- ception committee were entertained at dinner by Mrs. Arthur Caton. At 12 p. m. Admi Dewey and party vis- ited the Navai Reserve Veteran 2sso- elation ball at the First regiment ar- mory. CHANGE OF VE) = GRANTED. To the Defendants in the Goebel Murder Case. Frankfort, Ky., May 3.—After hear- ing the testimony of about forty wit- nesses and brief arguments by counsel for both the prosecution and the de- fense, Judge Cantrill granted the pe- tition of five of the defendants charged with complicity in the Goebel assas- sination for changes of venue. Those who joined in the petition were Sec- retary of State Caleb Powers, Capt. Jcbn W. Davis, Henry E. Youtsey, Harlan W. Whitaker and Richard Coombs..colored. ‘The attorneys failed to agree upon what county the venue shall be changed to. The defense sug- gested Bourbon county, where the next term of court begins the second day of June. The prosecution objected to go into Bourbon county, basing the ob- jection on statutory grounds, and sug- gested a special term of court to be held for the exclusive purpose of these trials in either Woodford or Scott county. Judge Cantrill took the mat- ter under advisement and will decide to-day to what county the trial shall go. The hearing of proof in the mo- tions for bail for these defendants an@ also for W. H. Culton, who did ot ask a change of venue, will begin to- day, and, according to the present out- loog will take up the remainder of the week and will be practically complete so far as the available defense on both sides is concerned.

The asnouncement that Mr. Wait would not be here to-day caused a perceptible ruffle at gtrike head-, quarters. The strike of 550 Lacka- wanna and 150 Nickle Plate shopmen is not technically regarded as an ag- gressive ¢Xtension of the strike, ac- cording to labor ethics, but a logical sequence to a demand that they re- pair crippled cars for the New York Central.
