Mr. Blackburn argued in favor of the transfer of war claims from the quartermaster's rolls Jdepartment to the court of claims, saying it was the practice of that department to black- il 5 por cent from claimants for a t, producing a receipt signed by MeXarland, late chief clerk of the examlnation division for money so received, Mr. thkbh1 said he in- | tended to move for mn ifvestigation. The houso spent the entire day on thearmy bill. Under a ruling of the chair the paragraph transferring war claims in the quartermaster’s depart- ment to the conrt of - claims, s stricken out, but & paragraph was J; ed prohibiting the use of funds appro- priated by the bill for exemination.of such claims. Provisions will, it is understood, be made for this in the “sundry civil” bill The bill as passed by the house provides that officers may retire after thirty-five years of service, and shall retire after forty years of service, or at tho age of 62. A communication was veceived from the president transmitting the report of the secretary of state in regard to the resolution of March 27 as to the American citizens in British prisons, The report cites British parliament- ary action in the premises in March, 1881, and gives Blaine’s (then secre- tary) instructions to Lowell, in which he said: ‘‘If American citizens, while within British jurisdiction, offonded against British laws, this government will not seek to shield them from the legal consequence of their act, but must insist upon the application to their cases of those common princi- ples of criminal jurisprudence which 1n the United States secures to every to every ene who oftends against the laws, whether an Ameri- can citizen or a foreign subject, that the accused person shall immediately upon arrest for a specific :m&g t:;gfieun upon which'he is hegl:l‘l, of an opportunity for s trial before an nnpnr‘uiy wurbpenng jury. These are essential to every criminal prosecution, and necessary alike to the tection of innocence and to ascertain guilt.” The report further saysthat Michael Boynton was found not to have been an American citizen and doubt is ex- pressed as to Henry Mahoney's natu- ralization. Lowell has been repeat- edly instructed to urge the speedy trial of all persons, and expresses the chair held that reference would not carry out the spirit of the constitution, inasmuch as bills referred were sel- dom reported. Mr. Morgan appealed from the de- cision of the chair, Debate ensued, and Mr. Morgan withdrew his appeal, stating that the senate evidently desired to vote on the question. Mr. Sherman urged the objections to the measure were suflicient to cause them to pause and have the question fully discussed in the committee. Mr Sherman spoke half an hour in favor of reference, urging that the bill opposed the spirit of the treaty, and that the Chinese government had a perfect right to regard it as a viola- tion. While we should regard the in- terests of California’s citizens, we should not pass a law that isa disgrace to the statute books and antagonistic to the letter and spirit of the consti- tution Mr. Garland contended that the committee could give no further light on the matter, The only question was whether the bill should or should not pass over the veto. Mr. Morgan said it appeared that the Chinese minister had been al- lowed to make suggestions in regard to the pending legislation, and the president accepted them in vetoing this measure. It was strange that that the ideas of the Chinese ambas- sador should have more influence with the executive than the majori- ties of both houses of congress, He 8u, ed it was eimply an effort to lml:)mr the bill, 4 S"Mr. Bayard contended that refer- ence was wholly and utterly useless. If the bill was to die lot its friends say 80, but do not undertske by refer- ence to change its features, All that could be done mow was to vote whether to make it a law over the veto. He objected to the language used in the message, saying there was no justification for it, either in fact or committee traditicms of communica- tion and digmfied and respectful con- sideration of one branch of the gov- ernment by the other. The language was an impugnment of those who passed the measure aftor careful de- iiberation, He denounced the Bur- lingame treaty asa humbug. The same spirit as led to it wanted to present 4 measure to fail. There was no word word in the veto message of sympa- thy with citizens of the Pacific coast, but that was a Chinese message from 16th and Douglas Street, OMAEA, - - NEB beginning to end. He earnestly hoped the bill would pass ever the veto. A wmotion to refer the bill was lost belief that the results will be satisfac- tory in all cases. Adjourned at 5:20 p. m.

The continuous rain of yesterday had an effect somewhat to dampen the ardor of many of our local “Conk- lings,” but the “Don Camerons” and “‘Logans” atood by their posts in spite of mud and mire, notwithstand- ing tho fact that the wheels of their Gatling gnn would at times ‘‘mive down.” It has been a long time since Pattsmouth had so much ex- citement over a city election. The causes wore not tho lucrative positions to be distributed to the faithful, but were such as enter into all elections where personal pride, under the gquise of the ‘‘good of the city,"” ‘‘axes | to grind,” and ‘“‘sewers .to put in,” are the motives which cause men to do the dirty work of the ward joli- tician. Not only that, but there was all for a citizens’ convention, ed by many of the leading men of both parties, to place in nomination a tickes that would be for the best in- terests of the city.

Both York and New York are jubi- lant over the results of the election. I have watted until the votes were counted to-nige. Both towns have gone temperance by strong majorities. The record of York on the temper- ance (uestion is well known. 1t has been from the first almost as a unit. New York, on the other side of the railroad track, was organized and run independent, and on purpese proba- bly, to show the people of York and the reat of the worid that saloons were of prime importance, and that no community could thrive without them. For a few years they gave the subject a faithful test. ‘They had the decided advantage of position. They might have seized the favorable moment and secured the' seminary and won the day. But they began with a saloon first, and the very ground seemed poisoned by their influence. No men ot wealth came in, and, though they had the depot and four fine elevators, and by far the finest location, they saw the old town go ashead of almost any young city in the state, while they stood still, To-day they have swept the whole thing clean and have elected a tem- rance board by a fino majority, while old York has made the most sweeping record yet, electing her new temperance mayor, Stevens, by over 176 majority.

It has been squarely tested that temperance is by far tho safest: and further, that there is money in it. I find, after a few months’ absence, that this city is also on the boom. The hne opera house 18 nearing completion and people are pouring in to secure the advantages of the seminary. It seems good to get baok to this land of plenty after a residence for months in #he great Nihara. A fine rain has succeeded a terrible dust blizzard, and the prospects for crops are fine.

Lixcord, April 5.—The city elec- tion passed off yesterday more «uietly than had been anticipated, owing to the somewhat heated state of feeling prevailing. A pouring rain came down all day long, making navigation about the polls exceedingly unpleas- ant, and interfering somewhat with the ordinary good nature of the work. It was owing to this attempt of Jupi- ter Pluvius to intimidate the voters that the total vote was so light as it was, but 1,914 votes being polled where 2,500 were expected. It was as hard fought a contest as has been seen hero for many years, Wenger carried the Third Ward by 35 major- ity, and came within sfx votes of fear- rying the First, but Doolittle’s large majority in the Second Ward saved him and secured his election by a ma- jority of 155, Montgomery pressed COobb for police judge pretty hard, the latter being elected by only 74 ma- jority. Grimes and Cooper, the regu- lar republican nominees for the city council in the First and Third wards respectively, were defeated by the coalition candidates, Shaberg’s ma- jorityin the First being G, and Baum's in the Third being 47. Both are good republicans, however, so that the re- sult need not be deplored. A general dispoeition had been evinced by the Indies here to cast their bal- lots on the school question, but the weather was so unfavorable that only the more determined ones get out. About seventy ladies voted, altogether, but did not affect the re- republican school ticket. TLarge pla- cards were posted conspicuously at each voting place, offering heavy re- wards for the detection of fraud, though no arrests have been made. The supreme court met yesterday and delivered opinions In about thirty cases. Only one Donglas county case, Parker vs. Naunson, was brought up, and in that the opinion of the lower court was reversed. - Judge Dundy opened the United States conrt yesterday afternoon, but will probably adjourn it to-morrow, to meet at Omaha, May lst. There is no business of any consequence be- fore it. A number of Omaha attor- neys, among them Mersrs.

They do not average two passengers to a round trip. The parties who are talking about the necessity for horse railroads here will do well to consider the Her- dics and be wise, District Attorney Lambertson and United States Clerk Elmer Frank are still in Washington. J. C. Watson, state district attorney #@r this dis- trict, is reported to be fishing for Lambortson’s place, A number of newspaper men from the Republican valley who have been interviewed by your correspondent lately say that James Laird is sure of getting the congressional nomination if the state is redistricted, from the westorn district. There is evidently going to be plenty of competition on- that point. Governor Nance has at last admit- ted that he has his legislative call ready, and will issue it by the end of the wcek.
