WASHINGTON, March 2. —The house amendments to the senate bill authorizing a bridge across the Missouri river between Omaha and Council Bluffs were, on motion of Mr. Wilson of Towa, concurred in, The committee on naval affairs reported Dback the senate bill to create a reserve of auxiliary cruisers, officers and wmen from the merchant marine, Callendar. “Ihie committee on commerce reported the bill authorizing the eity of Winona, Minn., to zonstruct & bridge across the Mississippi river and an island therein. Calendar. The senate proceeded to the consideration of the naval appropriation bill. An amend ment was inserted in the item for the burean of steam engineering, providing that no part of the appropriation shall be applied to the engines anda machinery of wooden ships where the stated cost of repairs shall exceed 20 per cent of the cost of new engines and machinery of the same character and power. Under the head of “incrense of navy,” the committee recommends striking out the house provision for two swift double bottomed steel cruisers, and for 11 to cost, exclusive of armu- ment, no more than £4.050,000, and the sub- stitution of two new sections oroviding for six protected steel cruisers, with a speed of not less than twenty knots, to cost, exclusive of armament, not more than $9,000,000, and appropriating that amount; also appropriat- ing for the armament of such vossels $2,5%0,- 0003 also appropriating £6,000,000 for heavily armored vessels or tloating batteries or rams for coast and harbor_defenses: also_appro- priating £720,000 for hight draught gun boats; also nwrnprlmlm: $000,000 tor torpedo boats, and $600,000 for torpedoes, and $1,500,000 for the armament of these vessels. Mr. Gray moved that if it shall appear to the president that the vessels cannot be con- structed at a fair cost on the Pacitic or Gult coast, he may consider and accept bids for building said vessels at other places, instead of suspending their construction until fur- ther action of congress, The question was then taken on Mr. Gray's amendment as modified ana it was rejected. ir. Plumb moved to strike out the item of $6,000,000 for hicavily armed vessels or bat- teries or s for coast defenses. Mr. Hale opposed the striking out of the tem. Mr. Dawes sald he had just recelved a tele- gram from New York, signed Ambrose Snow, chairman of the chamber of commerce, committee on coast defenses and president of the board of trade and transportation. That telegramn was in these words: ‘“The whole commercial community anxiously hopes that some agreement providing ade- quate immediate coast detense will be held. t not, public opinion will compel an extra session, which business men would dread. 1 send duplicates hereof to your fellow con- fterees.” At this point of the discussion the bill was laid aside temporarily and the senate went into secret session and subsequently took a Tecess until 8:50 p. ni. v Consideration of the ppropriation bill was resumed, the question being on Mr. Plumb’s amendment to strike out the amendment of the committee—the item of $6,000,000 for heayily armored vessels or float- ing batteries or rams to bs used for coast and harbor Gefense. The amendment was rejected without division. The amendment recommended by the com- mittee was then adopted without division. It strikes out the house provision for two swiit double-bottomed steel cruisers and four gun- boats, all to cost (exclusive of armament) not more than $4,950,000; and inserts in lieu thereof a section providing for the construe- tion by contract of six protected steel cruisers with suitable armament and a sveed of not less than twenty knots, tho cost of all the cruisers not to exceed $9,000,600, Additional appropriations are made tor machinery and armament, one of the vessels to be built on the Pacitic coast and two on_or near the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

Mr. Aldrich offered an amendment appro- grln!lng $25,000 tor the purchase of the tiletto albe used as & Krrn;;i‘;)‘ boat for ex- perimental purposes. Agreed to. The bill and amendwent were then re- Pnrud to the senate (the former proceedings heing supposed to have been in committee of the whole). Mmr. Edmunds called for the yeas and nays on the amendment for the six crulsers, ete, Mr, Plumb moved to amend the amend- ment by making the last paragraph read ‘“I'nat material used in all naval structures rrovldud for in this act, and armament for he same, shall be (so far as practicable) of American production and shall be_ furnished and manufactured in the United States, etc. Agreed to.

Newfoundlanders Ready to Secede and Join the United States, NEW YORK, March 3.—|Special Telegram to the B! —A Halitax dispatch to the World says: The publication of the address of the Newfoundland legislature to the im- perial government has produced a sensation. 1f it is not a declaration of independence, it 15 the next thing to it. No such defiunt docu- ment has been received by the imperial gov- ernment from any colony since the Ameri- can colonies, The Newfoundlanders tell the 8imperial government that they own their fisheries and do not propose to pay the slightest heed to French or American interests or brook any Interference from the imperial govern- ment. Newfoundland in fact stands on the right to make its own laws, control it property and preserve its existence a munity, let the effect be what it ma situation s so serious that both Pre- mier Thorburn and Sir Ambrose Shea, leader of the opposition. have left the legisia- ture to take care of itsalf and zoneto London to represent the dangerous character of the prevailing feeling in Newfoundland. Mean- while the pressand pleare universally dis- cussing the benefit of annegation to the Unl- ted States, Anything would be better than the present state of affairs, and 1f annexation were submitted to a popular vote it would be carried by three-fourths majority., New- foundland finds itself between the devil and the deep sea. On one hand 1t is driven ouv of the Kuropean markets by French rivals, who receive bounties from the French gov- ernment ei{:Ial to 60 per cont, and they are compelled the elish government to supply the French rivals with bait, without which they could not catch a single fish, On the other hand they are at the mercy ot Americans, for strange as it may seem, the treaty of 1518 never having been put into operation in Newfoundland by voyal procla- mation, is null and void as far as that eol- ony is concerned, and every denial of com- mercial privileges to American vessels last year haa not even the nuthority of that anti- q‘unwd treaty for excuse, Heuce the neces- sity of a balt bill which 18 denied them by England. 1.oNDON, March 2.—The colonial secretary has sent n dispatch to the governor of Newfoundland “informing him that the home government does not feel justitied in disregarding the strong protests of France ms:\_!ll!l. the restrictions at this late period which are calculated to inflict firent 10s8 upon French fishermen and is therefore unable to allow the bill passed by the Newfoundland legislative relative to the fisheries to operate this season. 'The secretary sald the govern- ment thoroughly understand that the French bounties are a grave disadvantage to the British fisherman: still it is not shown that British fisheries are unremunerative. —————— The Anarchist Cases.

On the opening of the court, at the suggestion of the attorney general, the people’s docket was set for hearing Thursday, March 10, at which time the anarchist case may be ar- gued, but the probabilities are that at that time it will be set for argument at some future day, Mr, Swett entered a motion that the rules ba suspended, and that time for ar- gument be unlimited.

He Scores the Civil Service Commission and Then Reqdests a Favor of Them, BECOMING VERY OBNOXIOUS. Senator Van Wyck Again After the Washington Streat Car Companies —A Shipbuilder's View of the Fature. s ' The Hooster Kicker. WASHINGTON, March 2—[Special Tele- gram to the BEE. |—Representative Holman, of Indians, is not doing himself proud in the matter of consistency, but on the contrary is keeping up his record as a demagogue. Ile was chairman of the sub-committee which prepared the legislative, executive and judi- cial appropriation bill and as such had charge of the measure when it came before the house the other day, During the debate he made a fierce attack on the civil service com- mission and attempted to cut down the ap- propriations for it. He was speciaily anxious to have the messencers dispensed with, but he tailed ingloriously and the house voted the same provisions provided last year for the commission. There has been in the employ of the commission a trifling fellow who was tolerated only on account of his family. On the same day Holman made his attack this messenger was dismissed for drunkenness and disorderly conduct and the commission- ers decided to promote economy by not filling the place made vacaut, To-day surprise was created at’ civil service headquarters when the discharged employereturned with a letter from Holman asking the commission to re- appoint or reinstate the bearer. Holman stated that it would be a personal favor to the writer, and that the dismissed messenger ‘was a sober, Industrious and worthy man. The commission has not yet acted upon the recommendation, but it is probable the letter will be returncd to Holman with a copy of his speech against the commission and a copy of the charges on which the messencer was discharged. Much was said to-day of the rebuke admin- istered to Randall and Holman and other democratic members of the house committee on appropriation In consideration in commit- tee of the whole on the legislative, executive and judielal appropriation bills. As stated editorially by the , Randall and H8lman have for many years held back appropriation bills till the last four days of the session for the express purpose of controlling legislation and foreing the senate to accept provisions it would not otherwise concede. This time the minority in a solid body, reinforced by many democrats, concluded toaduinister a rebuke, and they did it right roundly. The scene was such as members do not remember of having witnessed. After fighting through one full day for ’his blll without making a single inch of prbgregs, Holman was forced to surrender, and,for fours Le was oblighed o T tand g Ky Dlece and . T proposition were close to ave after., proposition that his hearl’s desire stricken trom the bill until thete wai not one thing left hy which he ('()th recognize his bill. He had to sit still and listen, to all sorts of criticisms without answering back 8o as to further pro- voke the rebelliqus spirit of the house. It is certain that the one thing that prevented the failure of the bill was the complete surrender of the committee.; With meekness and hu- miliation the conunittee accepted the defeat. 11y this means one coufld call an extra slon, or at least the mfi]"mllbhlli‘ for it be avoided. The logislative bill, in its .emascu- lated form, in company with the general de- ficiency bill, was enrolled and sent to the senate last night,<and thus a great burden was lifted from theasinds of members *who had before seen mothlrg but an extra session in the situation. BSenators say that they do not propose in future to be driven by the nouse committee on appropriations, and tuat hereafter they will suiter the necessity of an extra session rather than submit to imposi- tions, STIRRING UP THE STREET CATRS. In the senate w»dny eneral Van Wyck made a motion to aischarge the District com- mittee from consideration of the house bill authorizing the commissioners toenforce the regulation as to strect railroad management, etc. He desired to secure immediate action on the bill, but several objections were made and it went over. Mr. Van Wyck gave no- tice that he would renew his motion to-mor- row and ask for action. He deemed it of wreat importance that the regulating power should be gianted to the commissioners witl out delay. A resolution will likely authorizing the senate committee on the Di: trict ot Coll in to investigate the street railroad accommodations here and it will sit during the summer, Senator Van Wycek is a leading spirit in it and intends to see that the accommodations are adequate to the de- mands. A SHIPBUILDER TALKS, Charles H. Cramp, the great American shipbuilder, has been attracted here by the agitation in congress for a new navy, He says that L is inaking arrangements to begin work at once on the cruiser Baltimore and gunboat No. 1. “We can not tell definitely what congress is going to do,” su{x Mr. Cramp, “but the Indications are that there will be plenty of work forshipbuildersin this country for the next few years, It will be distributed among the leading firms and there should ba money In shipbuilding for some time to come,” Considerable surprise was created in con- gressional circles to-day by the annonnce- ment that President Cleveland had reiterated his determination not to go to the capitol on the last day of congress, as has been custom- ary by presidents, to examine bills and at- tach Dis shin\lum thereto, Information has been recelved, however, direct from the president that if it is absolutely necessary he will go to the capitol on Friday morning and 8ee congress o out.
