PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE, WasninaroN, March 80.—The bill passed, authorizing the secretary of the treasury to ascertain and report the amount expended 1n the indebt- ness assumed by Kansas in repelling ix;vnmn- and suppressing Indian hos- tilu ies, Earope as it does to dig and manu. facture it here. [Applause.] He fa- vored a ific rate on cotton goods of about 25 per cent.; woolen goods, 30 per oent.; iron and steel manufac- ture, 35 per cent.; and silk goods 40 per cent. On steel rails the present tarif system does wnot nefit the working people, but is mak- ing the rich richer and the poor poorer, and should be removed. He quoted from the recent statements of Dr. Lyon Plagfair, deputy speaker of the British house; «f c¢)mmo s, that the United States was injuring herself more than England by hee tariff system, and predicting while the United States must become the great- est manufacturing country of the world it would be greatly and indefi. nitoly delayed by this protective tariff syatem. Without action on the bill the com- mittee rose, Mr. King presented the resolutions for investigation of the over flow of the Mississippi as to the effect upon the public health aud the damage to pub- lic property and life from the samo cause, Adjourned at 5:05 p. m CAPITAL NOTES. Natlonal Associated Pross ALASKA, WasHiNagToN, March 80, — The house committe on territories will probably report in favor of a government for Alaska without delegates, and the The bill retiring brevet Major Gen- eral Meigs, with rauk and pay of a re- tired officer of the rank of major gen- eral, passed. The bill for appraisement and sale of lots in Peru, Ill., passed. Mr. Williams introduced a bill to regulate the importation of cattle from Canada. The chair presented the reeom- mendation of the secretary of war for $40,000 for the completion of Fort Lewis, Colorado. The bill for the relief of Capt. Eu- gene Wells, placing him on the retired list, passed. The Indiau appropriation bill was resumed. Mr. Hoar, in a set speech, favored better attention to the education of Indians to fit them to maintain the solves without the continued assi ance of the government, and urged a change in the administration of affairs to remove the stigma of mismanage- ment and dishonor which hitherto had attached to their treatment. He dwelt at length with three essential elements in the solution of the prob- lem: First, the capacity of the In- dians for education, civilization and citizenship; second, what it ocoste the government to educate them; third, what it costs to feed them. On all these points he urged careful, judi- cious treatment to make them good and uteful citizens. Mr. Plumb, in the course of a long speech, urged that New England was as much to blame as any other section for the condition of the Indians, and declared that t e red man was simply a provisional race, to make way for the Anglo-Saxon, Money had been gwen to many Indians far beyond Lmat{ obligations, and the Indian probleny will tom eiu anchunged until the Indians disappear. Adjourned at 65:50 p. m. PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE. A motion to take up the Utah elec- tion case was voted down, The house went into committee of the whole on the tariffi commission bill, Mr. Dunuell talking in its favor. Mr. Dunnell expressed the opinion that the proposcd commission would dono more than collect a mass of mat- ter which would delay action and congress would expire with- out doing anythi g on the tariff question and the people will say it did not do its duty. He thought it the duty of the republican party to the country and referred to the reduc iion of the [tariff by the democratic house which slaugthered itself by failing to revise and reduce the tariff. We will be in the same fix. We have jumped into the commission boat and will 8ail through, and it remains to be seen what the country will say. Mr. Dunnell was carefully listened to and warmly applauded by the dem- ocrats at The close. Mr. Hewitt took the floor at 3 o'clock, offering a resolution which he said he would ask to be considered at the proper time. It recommitted the bill to the committee, directing it to report in full a bill placing all raw material and waste products used in the manufacture of chemicals that were produced in this country; also aloohol used in manafacturing, on the free list, and substitute specific for ad valorem duties, basing these upon the average dutiable values during past years. No higher rate will be fixed than necessary to compensate for dif- ference in the cost of labor in the two countries. The rateof duty, ex- cept upon luxuries, is not to exceed B0 per cent. of the average dutiable values. He was surprised at the re- marks of Mr, Kasson, which were so directly oppoeed to his theory, ex- preue‘f i a speech in 1866 This led to an _animated sparrin; house committee on commerce unani- mously adopted n resolution declaring necessary some immediate legislation for the reputation of inter-state com- merce. HAMPTON V8. SHERMAN, During the campaign of 1880, Wade Hampton wrote John Sherman a let- tor in which he told him his address was Charleston, 8. C. Recently an- other article afipenrad in a Charleston paper about Hampton. He had its authorship investigated and ascer- tained that it was written by a clerk in the treasury department named Kirk. Hampton went to Folger and demanded Kirk be discharged. Fol- ger sent for Kirk for an explana- tion. Kirk came and complicated the matter by saying that while he wrote the article he did so at the suggestien and dictation of Sherman, who had put him in the treasury department. He admitted he had traduced the character of the senator at the suggestion of Sherman. Folger was not inclined to believe this, demanding proof. Kirk produced a letter written by Sherman, asking him to write the attack in question, Kirk will be discharged and Hampton will promptly ask the scnate to take a haud in the matter. The action of Hampton towards Sherman on the floor of the senate siuce has been the subject of comment. It 1s said they almost got into a personal encounter in the senate barber shop yesterday. MISCELLANEOUS, The secretary of state has cabled Mimster Lowell to ask the Brtish government to reprieve Dr. Lamson, convigted in England of murder, un- til evidence of hereditary insanity can be sant to England. 2 The state department has received from Minister Morton news of the passage by the chambers in Paris of the pork bill, which provides for in- spection in Frauce by experts ap- peinted by the minister of commerce, who shall have the right to prescribe the mode of examination. This last clause, which was introduced by amendment, has in view the re-estab- lishment of microscopic examination. = The discussion of the Chinese bill at the cabinet meeting to-morrow will be merely informal. It 1s now con- ceded that the bill will be sigued on Monday. The Canadian Pacific. National Associated Press.

He proceeded with his arguments, holding that deluy in revision of the tariff was dangerous, and that the country now is prosperous but on the ragged edge. Unless we make an outlet for our riches we shall be over- whelmed with them, What is neces sary is a system by which we can enter more xeadily the markets of the world, Ho thought articles used in mavufacturing should be admitted free and so lessen the cost of production and so let us enter the markets of the world by rcs duced cost of production, He favored the removal of the tariff on iron.

The speech was deliv- ered in the room of the officers of the yacht club, which is part of the wili- tary club, in the presence of the Duke of Leichtenburg and many officers of the Preohargenski regiment. At the request of his brother officers Gen. Skobeloffi narrated what had oc- curred in the imperial presence. He maintained the czar ap- proved his Paris speech, but foared to express his approval be- cause Russia at this hour was so do- pendent on Germany that it was not safe to run the risk of a rupture with the latter power. This rupture, how- ever, it is believed, is inevitable. It is perfectly well known here that Germany believesa war with Rossia is certain to be feught at no distant day. The German general staff has been for weeks carefully studying the strategetic details that are necessary to be masterea hefore entoring on thi war. Field Marshal Von Hoseke b - said that while war could not undertaken with assurance of sucec.s until after eighteen mouths fu:ther preparation, it could be begun now with reasonable hopes of triumph. He thinks before war is declured the fortresaes of Posen and Thom should bo greatly s'rengthouned and that Danztich and Konigsburg should be ut in a perfect. state of defense, 'hen war with Russia would invite France 1o her revenge, All defenses along the French frontier should be very carefully guarded.
