WasniNaron, March 16, —Mr. Har- rison called L-lp the bill appropriating an additional £100,000 &r the relief of the flooded districts, and it was passed with the house amendment. Mr, Logan addressed the senate on his bill to appropriate the entire in- ternal revenue receipts from the manufacture of distilled spirits for education, to be distributed among states and territories, according to population, 'he amendment reported from the postoffice committee to the postoffice appropriation bill provides for sub- sidizing the lines of ocean mail steam- ers, the service to be distributed one- fitth on the Puacific coast, two-fifths north of Philadelphia, and two-fifths south of Philadelphia. Mr. Logan’s bill was referred to the committee on education and the sen- ate proceeded with consideration of the postoflice appropriation bill. Senator Plumb, in explaining Lis amendment increasing tge fast mail service appropriation to$650,000, said hitherto the service had worked to the almost exclusive benefit of New York newspapers and persons having commuunicitions with that city. The committee, he said, felt 1t more in consonance with the interésts and wishes of the-pecple te add to the ap- propriation in order that Chicago, St. Paul, Cincinnati, St. Louis, New Orleans and Boston might enjoy the benefit of those facilities in common with New York. The amendment was agreed to after debate, Mr. Edmunds offered an amend- ment restoring the franking privilege 10 senators and representatives on let- ters or packages containing only writ- ten orprinted matter. weighiig .over two ounces. ¢ Mr. Ferry op the amendment on the ground that it would lead to a revival of the abuses which existed under the old franking laws. After a short debate the amend- ment was carried—yeas 40, nays 13, Senators voting in the negative were Messrs. Cockrell, Coke, Conger, Farley, Ferry, Hill (Cal.), McMillan, McPherson, Maxay, Pendleton, Ran som, Saulsbury and Sherman. The senate went inte executive ses- sion, and at 5:65 adjourned. PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE. At this merning Mr. McLane made a point of order that the speaker last night was in . error ruling regarding the controversy with Mr. Money (Miss.). The speaker read a state- ment that he did not intend to repri- mand, only the idea was to check ds- order. It he was on the floor of the house he would support the resolu- tion. The resolution was then withdrawn, Taylor, (Ohio), successor to Gar- field, delivered his first speech in the house, speaking against the Chinese bill. It was dolivered extempor- aneously and was listened to with marked interest, members from both sides gathering about and ding during the entire hour of the delivery, warmly applauding him and many penomllf congratulating hun at the close. He opposed the bill because it was unnecessary and dangerous, and only justificable on the ground of self-defense. If they were voters he claimed this bill would not meet the support it does, The claim that they gome into competition with and injure the labor of the country was cheap and baseless. They had built railroads when no other labor could be had and reclaimed lands none other would attempt. It is doubtless true they did not come here deeiring to remain, but by coming here and giving a large amount of labor for a small sum of money and going back with the mmey and ?en\'mg the labor, had they wronged this country! “‘If there is a right that is sacred,” eaid the speaker, “it is that man may go where he chooses to labor for his bread. You talk of their leprogy and their other forms of diseases and yet you employ them to wash clothes you put upon our body, you employ them in yoir Kuulel. L.t them alone. Don'c em- ploy them and you will yourselves dpe|i shut them ont and drive out those who are here. What will it be next! 1 sound the alarm to the foreign born population of our country. It is a strike at their privileges. Where will it endl Who can telll Let thoss who remember the scenes and preju dices of 1854 answer. You ar whirlwi d, as the ‘ways of Goi uuehlngenble.” Mr. Blount followed, claiming that the l{;hm of slavery under which the Chinese came here was one of the greatest objections to their coming and that this system ie recognized and en- occuraged by the Chinese government. The debate will be continued. A resolution was adopted direc'ing the committee on foreign affairs to re- quire Shipherd to produce copies of all correspondence had with any psr- ties touching any attempts to induce He Believes a Ohinaman Has the United States government to rec- ognize the Peruvian company A resolution was also adopted re- questing the ident to communi- cate to the Nicaraguan government the necessity for a convention be- tween the countries touching ad- justment of Nicaraguan claims. .Adjourned at 6:10 p, m.

National Associated Press, Lirrie Rock, Ark., March 16— At three o'clock yesterday sfternoon a rain and hail storm visited this city, but not of a character so unu- sual as to create much comment., It sped on southeastward along the Arkansas valley, and in its course as- sumed the proportions of a cyclone. When it reached Arkansas City, ready the victim of the overflow, it appears to have concentrated its strength there. Several houses were lifted off their foundations, and hurled into the surrounding waters, The terrible force of the hurricane was unexpected. No lives are reported lost, but the inmates of the houces overcome wero saved with diffioulty. A dozen or more hcuses altogether are wrecked, among them the fineat residences in the county and that of Deputy Sheriff Ross, just com- loted. The storm appears to have gun northwest of this city and com- menced to acquire destructive force soon after leaving us, Mr. Horage Allis, general passenger agent of the Pine Bluffs rpad, reports it as violent sixteen miles south of here, where he waa caught in the storm. At Pleasant Landing the steamer J. A. Woodson, of the above rond, had her rigging torn away. Near Pine Bluff, forty miles south of here, a mule was killed by the heating of hail stones. This ought to be good proof of the force of the storm. Along the route of the storm much damage is reported but no further particulars, Latest dispatches from Arkansas worded to pive an | City says the storm was not so vio- lent or destrustive as at first reported. " Leng John's Recollectiony. National Associated Press. CH10A60, March 16.—Hon. John Wentworth, better known as “Long John," delivered a free lecture this evening at Central Music hall, before the historical society and an immense audience. Mr. Wentworth being an impressive orator and a good story teller, he afforded his hearers a rare treat, His subject was ‘‘Personal ° Recollections When I was in Congress with Adams, Oalhoun, Clay, Benton and Webster.” The speaker first en- tered the house in 1843, and after de- scribing the Washington slave marts, he said: ‘I entered congress under one vice-presiden , Tyler, came out under another, Johnson, and served under another, Fillmore, It has beén the mission of a8 all our vh.:!fllnfl-'lun informed that the president had just ceased to breathe. On my way home T overtook the vice president and told him the news. It is difficult and per- haps uncharitable to describe & vice president’s feelings under such circam- stances. The next day at noon I saw him inaugurated and he commenced removing the friends of Gen. Tyler more summarily than ever did those of Harrison or Johneon of Lincoln. His grief at the death of the president was assuaged in that way.” C e e————— Labor Demonstrations in Phila~ delphia.
