The House Struggles All Day and Far Into the Night With a Dis- cussion of the Mills Tarift Bill. Senate. Wasnrx¥atos, May 8,—The senate resumed consideration of the railroad land grant for- feiture bill, the question boing on the amend- ment offered yesterday by Mr. Palmer to the one offered by Mr. Spooner, April 30. Mr. Dolph moved to lay on thejtable Mr. Palmer’s amendment to the Spooner amend- ment, being that nothing in the act should be construed to confirm any private entry for land heretofore settled upon and now claimed under the color of the homestead or pre-emption laws; but m all such cases the commissioner of the general land ofiice and the secretary of the interior shall hear and determine the claims of parties respec- tively according to the provisions effecting the law. The amendment wa 8 laid on the table— yeas, 23; nays 18, Mr. Palmer offered an atuendment that nothing in the vill should be constructed as excepting from forfeiture thav portion of the grant confirmed by the state of Michigan on the Marquette & Ontonagon railroad com- pany lying west of Lansing. Mr, BEdmunds moved to recommit the bill to the committee on public lands, with in- structions to report it back amended as soon as might be. He wished the commttee to re- frame it 80 as m keep it within definite de- cisions of the supreme court to protect every real right of every citizen, and to wind up every unexecuted raiiroad grant and make an end of it. The motion to recommit was opposed by Messrs. Blair and Dolph and was defeated, only nine senators voting for it. The question was then taken on Mr. Pal- mcr 's amendment and it was agreed to—yeas nays 16. Mr Hoar offered an amendment affecting lands in Michigan, and was asked by Mr. Berry whether the effect of it would not be to confirm the lands held by the Portage Mr. Hoar replied that it would havgthat affect if it should turn out that the lan# was conveyed to that canal company by an of- ficer of the United States. He was at loss to conceive how any man born with the capacity for sense of justice could refuse to confirm the title under such circumstances. ‘To this Mr. Berry retorted he was at a loss to conceive how any one born with a sense of justice and right would undertake to con- firm a title founded in fraud as this title was shown to be by the report of the house com- mittee on public lands in the Forty-eignt congress. Mr. Paumer argued against Mr. Hoar's amendment. Mr. Stockbridge asserted on his own per- sonal knowledge and in contradiction of the statements by his colleagues that the canal in question was completea and had been in successful operation for the last fifteen years. The bill went over without action on Mr. Hoar’s amendment and with the understand- ing that it will be taken up to-morrow at the conclusion of the morning business. Among the bills for public buildings re- })orlod and placed on the calendar was one or Peoria, 111, $12,000 additional. A message from the president on the sub- ject of impressment into the French army of John Prussia, an American citizon, was laid before the senate and referred to the com- mittee on foreign relations, Mr. Stewart (who offered the resolution calling for the cor- respondence) remarking that the man had been dischargzed from the French army since the resolution was offored. Mr. Paddock introda the act to encourage the - growth -of timber on the western pr. Referred. The senate then adjourned. Ship Canal company. ed a bill to amend House. WASHINGTON, May 8.—Mr. Bryco of New- York rose to a question of privilege concern- ing the language used by Mr. Woodburn of Nevada in reference to ex-Congressman Hewitt, who, it was charged, apologized to sh minister for offering a resolution as to the case of O'Donnell, under sentence of death in Great Britam. Mr, Bryce stated he was a relative by marriage to Mr. Hewitt, and he denied the correctness of the statement made. In vindication of the denial he read a telegram from Mayor Hewitt, and also a statement made by Min ister West in 1584, denying that Mr, Hewitt had apologized to him. Mr. Wooaburn of Nevada said he had never in his life made a charge he could not substantiate, He did not regard the denial of the British minister as a denial of the charge. Hewitt himself was a party defend- ant to the charge, and his denial, therefore, lost weight. Mr. Brumm of Pennsylvania said bis recollection was, Hewitt had made an ex- planation on the floor, but whether it was made on the floor or not, an explanation (the mildest term he could use) was made by Hewitv pefore the committee on foreign affairs The subject was then dropped and the house went into committee of the whole on the tariff bill, Mr. Stockdale of Mississippi took tho floor in continuation of hie speech in favor of the bill. He d th tton planter had re- ceived little cousideration in the legislation of the past, and in the name of justice and humanity he appealed for relief for the col- ored people. Mr. Hopkins of Illinois opposed the bill, He said the fact could not be kept from the peoply in the coming campaign, that the dem- ocratic party stood committed ‘unequivocally and ir ocably to the doctrine of free trade, That party had come in power and they were practicing a system of false pretenses upon the American people, unparalleled in the histor; Did the party send v York'before the the election to explain the tariff plank of the Chicago platform{ Did it send Mr. Hemp- hill there to talk to the laborer as he talked during debate on the floor? The m gers of the democratic party knew New York could never be ed in When the columns were shaken and defeat seemed inevitable they turned to the brainiest and ablest man in the party. They called for nuel J. Randall and he went to New York to explain to the voters there that the manufacturing interests of the count din event of the success of the democratic party, and that the tariff plank in the Chicago platform meant ouly a wise and judicious re-arrange ment of the inequalities which all parties held to exist in the tariff to a greater or less extent and to require treatment. It had been Randall’s boast that his efforts had made it possible for Cleveland to occupy th presidential chair., How had th democratic party repaid his unnn», and how had his pledges been redeemed by that party. If rumor was corvect Mr, Randall was no longer a visitor at the white house; bis counsel was no long. er sought or heeded by hi 3 his infl ence had been curtailed by raising up a rival whose control of federal patronage had been used to humiliate and disgrace the once hon ored leader of the democratic part Iu con- clusion Le entered a solemn protest against this attompt to overthrow the great business industries of America. ; Mr. Mansur of Missouri delivered an exhaustive speech in support of the bill, and bo contended that the internal revenue sys- tem should be maintained for the payment of pensions and the remainder of the war debt. Mr. J. 1. Taylor of Ohlio denounced free trade as & fragment of jthe rebellion und as being as dungerous to the ceuntry in 1858 as secession had been in 1861. Free trade had no more right to supplant protection than the the confederate consititution had to supplant the constitution of the United States. The democratic party was engaged in an effort to unfurl the Britisk flag and open’ Awmerican markets to the. British wanufacture . 'Mr. Richardson of Teunessee supported the bill and referred to the antagowism of [ the republicans to . every effort which the demoeratic party bad . wade to fulfill their pledges of tariff requchions. ‘ Hathaway, Mr. McAdoo of New Jersev said he spoko as & democrat. mmenm the best way in which the surplus could be reduced was by the abolition' 6f ¥he internal revenue system, Revenuo ought to be limited in amount to the noeds of’ the government econi- mically administeped . Mr. Morrow of Gaiifgrnia_argued that no better course could be pyrsued with referenco to the surplus than to apply it to the purchase of United States bnds, He was in favor of an economical admihistration of the affairs of the government. No dxtravagant expendi- tures should be '#dulged in, but congress should comply with the'proyision of the con- stitution granting it thu power to provide for the common defonse ana genoral welfaro The committeo them: rose and the house took a recoss until 8 p.m., the evening session to b for debate upon the tarift bill. At the evening session Mr. Stone of Mi souri laid down the, propositions that any ai ticle, on which tariff duty was levied, was necessarily increased in cost to the extent of the duty; that high tariff by an accumulation of a surplus contracted ciculation; that American manufactures had nothing to fear trom foreign competition on equal term: that the tariff has nothing to do with mau taining a high rate of wages; that the pro- tective system tended to concentrato wealth in a few hands, and that the increase of national wealth during the last thirty years was in no possiblo sense due to protection. Mr. Chipman of Michigan, denied that the Mills bill was a free trade bill. He did rot pledge himself in advance to vote for it lic had some amendments to propose, but thoso amendments he would offer in' per- fect good faith because he believed the bill to be an honest endeavor to benefit the peo- ple. Mr. Martin of Texas contrasted the re- spective stutus of the two sides of the house on the tariff question, declaring that the democrats were boldly struggling for the in- terests of the country, while the republicans, standing on the tariff laws of 1561 and 1883, resisted all efforts for tariff revision. In conclusion he said: “We have a campaign before us that is to be conducted by the dem- ooratic party. We aro conducting the cam- paign on a reduction of taxes, They are fighting the reduction. We will have hoisted at the mast head tho name of glorious Cleve- land, and in fighting the battle of the peoplo we wlllgfw Kansas, Towa and Michigan, and all ofher western states, and carry them against protection. We will carry this great nation for Grover Cleveland, president of the United States.” The house then adjourned. —— Army Matters. WASTINGTON, May 8.—[Special Telegram to Tne Brr.]—Corporal Frank A.
