THIRTEENTH YEAR. “Ews EF THE NAT'DN an amendment, the joint resolution 0 authorizing the secretary of the navy to The New York San's View of the Ont- come of the Bourbon Difficnltics. It Thinks the Internal Revenue System will be Abolished. And the Democracy will Touch the Tariff with a Light Hand, How Some of the Territories Have Lost Sublime Opportunities. The House Decapitates the Bonded Whisky Extension Bill, The River and Harbor Appropriation ~ Other Matters of Legislation, DEMOORACY'S DIL] INTERNAL TAX TO GO—THE TARIFF T0 STAY, Special Dispatch to TiE Be. New York, March 27.—The Sun to- ‘day, in reviewing the caucus work, says: “Legislation sweeping the entire inter- nal revenue systom out of existence, and touching the tarift with so light a hand that even Hon, William D. Kelly would never dream of protesting, is within the limits of action defined by this wonder- ful cancus. The resolutions are practi- cally meaningless; nobody is bound to support any particular forni of tax reduc- tion. The lash is taken off tho party whip and everything left to the future. But where are the trumpet notes that so recently rang through all approaches to the capitol? Where are the bright ban- ners of the new crusade!” A BIRD IN TERRITORIES DON'T SEEM TO AP Special Dispatch to The Boe. Wasniseroy, March 2 The friends of the various territories which have been knocking for admission at the door cf congress begin to see the folly of the ef- forts that have been made in this direc- tion. Tt was clearly announced when this_session of congress began that no territories would be admitted. Anybody who was at all skilled in reading the signs of the times could have scen it. And yet cvery one of the tervitories that has come to the front, and at one end or other of the capitol—usually at both ends —has asked to be admitted as _a state. The result is that many bills which are of importance to them as territcries are neglected, and in some cases adversely reported, because the territories are ask- ing admission as states; and should they be so admitted, there would be no neces- sity for the se of the bills, In other words, they deprive themselves of needed legis of talking abont admission, when there i8 no chancs of their requests being aranted. WASHINGTON NOTES THE RIVER AND IARBOR BUDGET, WasaiNGroy, March —The river and harbor commission has nearly com- pleted the consideration of the proposed river and harbor bill. the aggregate of the bill will not exceed $11,000,000. The principal items will be appropriations for the Mississippi, Misscuri and Ohio rivers, and for the great harbors on the Atlantic, Pacific, Take and gulf coasts. To the Mississippt and tributaries above 3,000,000 will probably be appropriated, The com- mission has not yot decided what part of that amount shall be expended upon the Mississippi itself. Members of the house are being invited before the commission to make such statements as they sce proper concerning the improvements of their reapective districts and states, The il will bo reported to the house not later than April 20¢h, CONTESTED LANDS, The house committee ou public lands || has agreed to report the Dbill authorizing the patenti ds to contesting set- tlers within the limits of the Moquelamos Ranche, on the Western Pac railroad. The land is in California, and emb 45,000 acres. THE SILK DUTY, A committee representing the interests of the manufacturers of silk waited on the secretary of the treasury to-day, and protested agaiust any reduction of duty on silk trimmings for hate, INTERNAL REVENUE, During the first eight months of the present fiscal year the intornal revenue receipts decréased $14,481,260 compared with the corresponding period of 1883, NATIONAL BANK EXAMINATIONS. The committee on banking and com- merce are considering the propriety of so ion for the poor privilege It is understood offer a reward of ,000 for rescuing or ascertaining the fate of the Greeley ex- pedition, A resolution was agreed to, directing the committee on library to inquire into the expediency of printing the oflicial letters and papers of the late President James Monroe. A number of private olaims were pass od, among them reimbursing Mrs. Mecker and Miss Josephine Moeker (the latter now dead) and others for losses by the depredations of the Indians at the mas- sacre of the White river agency in 1871; to pay $2,500 each to the representatives of Mrs. Martha Vaughn and Mrs. Louisa Jackman for patriotic services and in- formation to the union arx tucky in 1803; to repay Georgia 7 money advanced for the defense of frontier against the Indians from 1795 to 1818, The senate then took up the education bill. Mr. Hampton (dem., S. C.), advocated it, reciting the strenuous eflorts on be- half of education in South Carolina, re- gardless of color, and saying the city of Charleston alone spent one-third more for schools than Boston, yet to provide education for all her children would re- quire a million and a quarter more. The bill was further discussed by Messrs. Pugh (dem., Ala.), Vest (dem., Mo.), Call (dem., Fla), and Harrison (vep., ind"), and the latier amendment that the aid should go_only to states that have 10 per cent. of illiter- acy or more, and that tho state assess- ment for education should not ba de- creased thereby. Adjourned. HoUS The morning hour was dispensed with, and the house went into committee of the whole, with Dorsheimer (dem., Y.)in the chair, on the bonded extension bill, and Mr. Randall (rep., 0.) spoke in oppuosition to it. In committee of the whole was struck the enacting clause of the bonded exten- sion bill—131 to 87. The house in regu. lar session voted (yeas 135, nays 83,) to confirm the action of the committee in swriking out the enacting clause of the whisky bill. The whisky bill being disposed of, there was a general rush to secure pre- cedence for other measures on the calen- dar a special orders. Mr. Dowd (dem., N. C.) succeeded in gotting the ear of the house for the bill for the retirement of the trade dollar, After debate, and without action, the house adjourned. BONDED WHI DING 18 THE BILL.

This is an outgrowth of the failure of the Pacific National bank of Boston, UTAH, Ina memorial of the legislative as- sembly of Utah presented to the senate to-day the memorialists state that they were elected by the people of the state under the provisions of the Edmunds bill, and they have made provision for filling the registration and electing the officers of the territory as authorizod by that law, but their action has been ren- dered void by the refusal of the governor to sign their bill, and in consequence of that refusal the one object of the KEd. munds bill has been frustrated and the interests of the peorle of Utah jeopar- dized, They also state that other bills needful to the progress of the territory have been nullified by the governor. Measures have been introduced in von- gress looking to extremeand astheycon sider] harsh and unjust action towards the people of the territory, and these measures have been prompted by un- truthful statements made to congress and by a misunderstanding of the facts and the political situation of the territory. FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS. SENATE, Wasrinaron, D, €., March 27.—Mr. Miller (rep., Cal.) reported favorably any noticeable consternation here. The whisky men take the defeat philosophi- cally.” A great deal of tax will be paid by the holders, The big dealers will ex- port largely. It is thought here that a peremptory collection of the tax can be stayed by injunction proceedings. The Ohio N. Cixcinyarn, March27, At the national guard association meeting this morning the time was occupied discussing the militia bills now before congress. Pre- ference seemed to be for the one known as the Slocum bill, but an amendms was suggested making 260 instead men the basis for the appropriation. Scocum’s bill was finally endorsed by a unanimous vote. This bill is regarded by the officers of the guard of every state as meeting all the requirements of the mlitia from the government. mittee of five was appointed to go to Washington for the purpose of urging the passage of the Slocum bill and to represent the general interest of the National guard.

Tt now transpires that a young Swede named Robert Holm is under arrest on suspicion of being the murdoerer. The ar- rest was made on information given by Holm's landlady. Her story is that on the night Amelia Olsen was murdered, Holm did not come home until about threo o’clock in the morning, and on ap pearing at breakfast was very ner- vous.
