THE KNEVALS BILL PASSES. Endorscment By the Senate of the Measure and Van Wyck's Amendments, AGRICULTURE AND LABOR. The Honso Adopts the Bill Creating the New Department—Long Dise cussion Regarding the Bue reau of Animal Industry, Senate. WasmNaGroN, Jan, 11.—The committee on Indian affairs reported back with amendments the house bill granting to the St. Paul, Min- neapolis & Manitoba Railroad company right of way through Indian reservations in north- ern Montana and northwestern Dakota, Calendar, The committeo on military affalrs reported a bill for the relief of telegraph operators during the war, Calendar, On motion of Mr., Manderson the house bill for the relief of settlers and purchasers ot lands on the public domain in Nebraska and Kansas was taken up and considered, the question being on the substitute reported by the committee on public lands. The substi- tute appropriates 325,000 to reimburse pur- chasers, homesteaders and pre-emptors who had to pay for their lands to the Northern Kansas Railroad company, which was de- clded by the cireuit court of tho United States to have prior tittle to the lands, the basis of relmbursement being $3.50 per acre. After discussion the substitute was agreed to and the bill, thus amended, was passed and a conference asked. The inter-state commerce bill was taken up and Mr, Harris, one of the three senate con- ferees, made an argument in favor of the bill. The country, he said, had for more than ten years, and still, demanded that the earrying trade be fairly and justly regulated by the govermment. . The construction sought to bo given to the fourth section (as to long and short haul) was simply absurd. The plain meaning of the section was that tho carrier shoald not demand a larger gross sum for hauling a car load of grain or freight over a part of his line than is demanded for hauling a car load of the same class of frelght over its whole line. One effect of it would be to ut an ena to those ruinous competitions for hrough treicht known as “rate |4/ Mr. McPherson contended that if the loeal rate is made reasonable in the same sense that the through rate is made res able the nat- ural and i ence is that the throngh ra gieater. Mr. Camden said he thought the bill wenld inerease through rates because through rates are too low in proportion to local rates, Mr. Saulsbury svoke in favor of the bill, Mr. Cullom repeated the notice heretofore g1ven by him (hat he would ask the senate to Temain in session to-morrow till the bill was disposed of. After an executive session the senate ad- Journ House. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1L.—On motion of Mr. Bragg of Wisconsin thoe senate. amendments were concurred in to the bill providing for a school of instruction for cavalry and light artillery. ‘The river and harbor avprovriation bill was reported back and it was referred to the com- mittec of the wholo. On motion of Mr. Caswell of W ‘Wednesday, February 9, at 3 o'cloc apart for consideration of resolutior ing the death of William T\ I sentative from Wiscons Mr. Bragg of Wisconsin, from the eom- mitteo on military affairs, reported back the senate bill authorizing the secretary of war to accept certain land near Chicago, House calendar. In the morning the house resumed consid- eration of the bill for the ercction of a public building at Charleston, S. C., in committee of the whole, The bill appropriated $100,000 for the purchase Jof a site and §400,000 for the erection of a building Mr. Hepburn of lowa moved to reduce this latter amount to $200,000. The city, he de- clured, was In decadence and in support of his assertion he stated that between 1860 and 1880 the population had inereased only ), while between the same periods the rz vern- ment receipts from all sources lad fallen off. Mr. Dibble of South Carolina thought Mr. Hepburn’s statement was not a fair one. In the period between 1560 and 1550 Charleston had passed through all the misfortunes of a four years' war and at the close of which frass had been growing in the streets. As he did not wish to imperil the bill he asked the committee to agree to Mr, Hepburn’s mo- tion, 'This was done, the committce rose and the bill as amended was pass the introduction of number of house adjourned until 2:30 p Uvon reconvening the house, at 255 p. m, passed tho bill creating the department of agriculture and l.\|mr~i‘uu, tnays, 26, ‘The bill provides that there shall be at the seat of government an executive departuent to known as the department of agriculture and labor, under control of a secretary of agriculture and laborand an nssistant scere- tary. ‘There skall be in tho department of agriculture and labor a division which shall be under charze of a commissioner of labor, whoshall hold his oftice four years and until his suceessor shall beappointéd, unless sooner removed, and shall receive a silary of $5,000 asyear, ' ‘Tle commissioner shall collect information upon the subject of labor, its relation to capital, hours of labor, rate of wages, cost of production of articles pro- duced, eainings of laboring men and women, means of promoting gheir material, social, intellectual and moral _}lm\pvrl'y, and the best means to protect life and pre dents In mines, workshops, factor! other places of mdustry. The secretary is empowered to inquire into causes of diseon- tent which may exist between employers and employes within the United States, and he may invite and lear sworn statements from both parties concerning matters in contro- Vi touch- ice, late repre- ersy. Mr, Herbert of Alabama then called up the naval reorganization bill, but he was antago- nized by Mr. Hateh with a motion that the house £o into commitieo of the whole for the purpose of considering the bill amendatory the act establishing a bureau of animal - dustry. The recent outbr ease in Chicago, said Mr. Hatch, made It an imperative necessity that the house should pass the bill, for every hour's delay was dangerous, Mr. Hatceh's motion was agreed toand the house accordinely went into com- mittee of the whole (Blount of Goorgia in the chair) on the bill stated, Mr. Hateh sald that tho presont law was beneficial as far as it went, but that it did not go far enouch. It was ineflicient and inadequate to suppress the spread of pleuro- poeamonia which, if not controlled by national legislation, would in a short time absolutely destroy the value of the cattle in- dustry. "Tle danger could notbe overstated, The 10ss in dollars and cents to the people of the United States when the orst gun fived at Fort Sumter ushered in the rebellion, was ter than that threatened by an out- break of pleuro-pnemonia. The chianges in the bill, he sald, consisted chiefly in 1he re- moval of restriction upon the commissioner of agricidture 1o the employment of & force to enforce the law, and in empowering the commissioner, with' the eo-operation of state authoritios ' under state % 10 con- demn and destioy infected cattle, "It was provided in the pendi the State refused or necle e with the commissi sident should de- elare that state in quarantine and prohibit transportation of eattie out of it, Mr, MeMillin - of Te ingnired whether a cow afilicted with pleuro-pneu- MOnia Was not worthless, Mr. Hateh roplied that it was worse than usele S Mr. McMillin further inguired why, if a cow was worse than useless, the tréasury should be compelled to pay thé value of the animal before it contracted the disease, Ar. Hateh ied that this provision was based upon the experience of the most en- lightened governments in the wanagement of the disease for 100 years. It was 50 easy to conceal the existence of the disease and so hard to deteet it that some compensation must be given to owners of infected cat®le or all the money which could be appropriated would not stamp out the disease, 3 Mr. Morgan of Mississippl opposed the bill on the ground that it was vain and illusive and would amount to nothing. Mr. Swineburne of Neéw York, - the member of the commitiee who presented the minority report, had that veport read as part rr bis remarks, ' A new feuture in public eth- jes was that which requires a préwiam. to ik of cattle dis- s5580 | for the lass of their ¢ THE bo pald men to Aside from the tter of e <k the gc prevent violations of the Jaw, Joal questions arising, us & ty it would be equally logical ermen aburse farmers clones, birds, canse: because endence of the unforsecn ae rot orany other guch_crops were the family, Periding further debate and the house adjourned, o STATE LEGISLATURES, Proceedings in the Tilinois Senate and House Yesterday.

The house then adjourhed until 2130 this afternoon Indiana’s Senate Latch Key on the In- side, INDIANAPOLIS, Jan, 1L—Senator Harri- son was refused adwitance to the floor of the senate and several prominent democrats were treated in the same manner, The reso- lution introduced by Senator Trippett, dem- ocrat, inviting the house to meet in the hall of the senate on the 19th, was passed by a strict party vote. Before noon an adjourn- ment was taken. A message from the house was announced and the presiding oflicer of the senate stated that the messagze would be received at the closo of tho debate then in progress. A committee was appointed by the sneaker of the house to ascertain why its message was not received 1mmediately, claiming messages from one house to the other as being questions of the highest priv- Jege, and demanding recoznition at once, The afternoon session of the house was void of teatures of special interest. In the afternoon the senate continned the debate on the Davisresolution, but finally the vroposition was ruled out of the order by thechair. Davis appealed, but the decision of the chair was sustained. The effect of this action is to deny the validity of yester- day’s I)ru( edings in the house in connection with declaring and announcing the vote for lieutenant governor. In closing the proceed in the senate President Smith announ, t he was anxious to ha the question at issue between Robertson and himself settled by the courts he committee rose McGregor's Fair Record, MCGREGOR, Ia., Jan. 11— [Special Telegram to the Brr.]—The records of the justice courts of this city show but two arrests for drunken- ness in the past two vewrs, MeGrogor is the only ity on the Mississippt that has 1o sa- loons.

A Livoly Time in the House of Representa- tives Over the Measure. MRS. CLEVELAND'S RECEPTION. of Measures to Be Considered By This Congress the Smallestin ¥ears—National Capital Newa, The tercentage Uonsideration Postponed. WASHINGTON, Jan, 11.—[Special Telegram to the Bry I'iere was a verylively tine in the house for half an hour this afternoon over the Pacilic railroad funding bill. An opportunity was offered for forcing consid- eration of this measure, but its friends saw that it could not be completed within the time which would be given it, and even the short talk on it would take from it the posi- tion it occuples on the calendar, and so its friends fought off its consideration, while they who desired its defeat tried to take it up, Greatconfusion existed while the half- hour was being killed, and it was passes over at the expiration of the morning hour An opportunity will be given for its consid- eration on Saturday, when enough time to completeit will be given. Mr, Crisp will di- vide the time with Mr. Springer, who has a number of amendments to offer, and the de- bate is expected to be tart. This is the meas- ure, it will be remembered, which, accord- ing to reports, has commanded so much money i the lobby for two or three years, the railroads desiring its adoption, It fands the indebtedness of the Pacilic railroads to the government for a period of eighty years in the annual payment. LAND'S RECEPTION. Mrs, d’s reception from 12 to 1 to-day was largely attended. During that hour the driveway was well rilled with the carriazes ot ealle ‘I'he most noticeable turnout was the little Rusian drosky of Mr. Gregor, of the Russian legation. It was drawn by a beautiful blood bay with silver- mounted harness and trappings. The sm wheels of the drosky, with their silver spokes and rubber tires, atracted considerable atten- tion, as did the bearded Russian driver in full Russian livery. [NTEREST IN THE INDI The interest in the senato Indianapolis amounted to exeitement at the capital this afternoon, A dispatch was re- ceived by a Hoosier demoerat about noon stating that Green Smith,the rump president pro tem of the senate, had refused to vacate the chair when Lisutes vernor Robert- son presentodshimsell as ipresiding officer, that he provoked a row and was thrown out of the chir by tho lentenant governor and al difficulty was imminent. Seve s were sent to Indianapolis to ascer- tain the truth of the rumor, but nothing def- inite has been recelved to-night and the terest contimues to be absorbing. Repub- ns here are vy much pleased at the con- duct of the leaders of their party in Indiana, while the democrats regret that which their representatives are doing in the contest, None of them endorse it. Senator Edmunds says tho republicans av Indianapolis are acting according to law and order and courts, and the veople will sustain them, NOTSO BAD A8 JE 13 PAINTED. Senator Sabin, who has been reckoned as among those who are friendly to corpora- tions, has an amendment that he proposes to offer the next time a bill is proposed to zrant a right of way ot governent land,and which Will strike very Hard at the Intorosts he has been accused of serving too energetical Hiis amendment provides that no_ railway shall be constructed within or through any Indian re: tion or other public lands until the estimated cost of its construetion and equipment for successtul operation in cash shall have been first submitted to the Inter-state commerce commission, and ap- proved as a fair and reasonable sum required therefor, and 1f any railway company pay for such construction, in cash or st Lu ds, or In any formn of money or ini ness an amount in excess of the sum so ¢ mated and approved, it shall torfeit all rights granted without furthor form or ceremnony with all property on said reservation or pub- lc lands to the United States. This amend- ment will be offered to all the several bills now pending in tho sgnnm to grant right of way to railroads in thé west, and intended,as it shows on its face, to prevent stock water- ing. There will be alively protest from some Sabin’s constituents who are engaged in rallway building, but he is determined to pass it1f he can. VELAND DEPARTS FROM THE CUSTOM, “T'he nomination to-day by the vresident of Henry D. Humphrey, of Idaho, to be a sec- ond lieutenant in tne army, caused surprise among those senators who are familiar with the law governing the appointment of civilians to the military seryice, The act of June 11, 1875, provides *‘that the appointment of civilians to be second lieutenants 1 anv of the regiments of the army shall be made in time of peace only when more vacancies existin the army than will be required in the assignment of the next graduation e! of cadets at the United States military emies,” ‘There,are now about twelve vacan- cies in the line of the army and the next graduating class at the military academy con- sists of sixty-four members. The law above quoted forbids the appointment of civilians until the vacancies shall exceed sixty-four. Another law passed in 1878 prevides that civilians shall only be appeinted after the as- signment of the graduating elass and such non-commissioned officers be commended for promotion to the rank of secona lientenant, TIE NICA UA CANAL. ‘I'he senate to-day in secret session passed an fmportant resolution relating to the con- struetion of a canal in Nicaragna betw the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The re tion was reported by the committee on foreizn relations and requests the president to open negotiations witn the government of 2 cua with a view of obtaining conces- sions to the United States for the purpose of constructing a canal across the isthmus on what is known as the Nicaangua route. 'I'ho comnnittee on foreizn relations recently re- ported a bill to incorporate a company to con- struct a eanal over this route and the resoln- tion ado] v wouid indieate that the senate des| ave the proposed canal during the prozress of its construetion and after it is completed under the protection of the United Stat [E PRESIDENTIAL CHURCH PROSPERING, “The annual meeting of the 2ongregation of the Kirst Presbyterian chureh, of which Mrs. Cleveland is a member, was held here this evening, ‘There wasa full attendance, but Mys, Cleveland, who has shown some inter- t in church work, was not present, which partially attributed to the fact that the president was not able to accompany her, the absence of denator Me n, president of the congregation, an clder presided.

As a mark of est Rev, Dr, Sunder pastor, a money was set aside a5 an_aunuity reserve fund to be added to annually for seven years, and at the end of that time fo be presented to the doctor with acerued interest.

PERCENTAGE OF MEASURES TO I ERED, It is said by the clerks in the house that the por cont of measures introduced in this con- gress which will receive action on the floors of the two houses will be less than in any congress for many years. They say that not more that 8 per ‘cent of the measures of a general character will receive final actio although 53 per cent have been considered incommittee, [n the eventan extra session of the Fifticth congress is called the entire time, if need be, betweon now and the reg- ular session could be taken up on measures on the calendar, and no cowmittee ~ work would be required. -~ But it is intimated at the white house that if occasion should arise for an extra session the work to be done would be pointed out in such a way that there could bo 1o mistaking it, OFESSOR BELL'S RESIDENCE BURNED, hour this morning ed 1n the mansard roof of 00,000 residence of Professor Alexan- der Graliam Bell, the telephone inventor, sit- uated on Rhode Island avenue, Scott circle, The ~palatial structure ~ was gutted and flooded.” Many thousand dollars worth of furniture and books and_models worth al- most as much as the building were de- stroyed.

The early firm- ness was due to moderate buying by London It was claimed, however, that London hou were averse to carrying heavy lines of Amer- ican stocks in the present condition of the English money market, and would advise their clients against loading up too heavily. The strike among employes of the coal roads was said to be causing & heavy falling off in the earnings of Jersey Central. Bullson it, however, wera still quite confident of mush higher prices, 1t was rumored that one strong wing of the bull party had_realized, and the drift of stock to<day seemed to indi* cate that the remaining longs in 1t were trying to et out without attracting atten- tion.

Hocking Valley boomed at the opening on a story that the road would pass into the control of the Vanderbilts at the annual meeting to-day. ‘T'he very unfavora- ble statement made by the Reading for the year ending December 31, 184, caused large selling and a sharp break 'in that sto The market was, on the whole, rather we Washington dispatches were received ju before the close announcing that a vote would be taken in the senate to-morrow on the inter-state commerce bill. 1t was regarded as almost certain that the bill would pass and the prospect of getting a vote was made the pretex for hammering the market, bears sold large lines of stock, and a break of 1101t iper cent ensued, Omaha being about the weakest thing on the list. It was said London was a seller of all Granger stocks, ‘The market reacted a fraction before the close, but the last quotations were generally lower than the opening, The total eales were about 150,000 shares, - ops For Rlotons Strikers, RienyoNn, V.
