A resolution was adopted calling on’ the socretary of war and the secretary. of the interior for information as to whother a saving of public expanditure could be mado by transferring the bureau of pensions from the interior department to the was depart- ment. A rosolution was adopted calling upon the secretary of the interior for data in relation to the payment of pensions and for an osti- mato as to the amount of money which will berequi red for the payment of arrearage .in the case the limitation of the arrears act 18 repealed. Abill was passed authorizing adavits and depositions under the public land luws to bo made before commissioners of United States courts or before the clerk of the court of record in which the Ignd is situated.

On that date, under'the exist- ing law, the number of pensioners on the rolls would be 750,000, Mr. Sayers discussed the pension- systom as affected by both the acts of ‘congress and the administration of the service.’ “He cited statistics to show that from July - J, 1560, to January 1, 1800, the expenditures of the gov- ernment for pensions fwere - §1,105,335,017; that the expenditures for' pehisions for the pust fiscal yoar were $50,131,969; that the ex- penditures for pensions from March 4, 1759 10 June, 1861, throughour period of seventy: two and a halfiyears, were $80,733,377, and the excess of pension disbursements for the fiscal year ending_dunme 30, 18%, over the pensions from 1750 to 161, 'a’ period of seventy-two and a half years ‘was 33,303,641, He severely criticised the administration of the pension oftice and cited many instances where he claimed the decisions ‘werd " incor- rect and improper. He wished to call at. tention to the manner in which ‘the pension system was being administered, He thoughy thiere should be a thorough investigation of tho system in order that completo justice should be dono to the men who had Touwht for their country, aud thut bounty jumpers might be stricken from thy roils. Mr. Peters said that for the first time in the history of the country the house had before it a careful and concise estimata of what the expenditures of tho pension buread would be during the next fiscal year. He defended the administration of the pension bureau. While he did not defend all the of Com- missioner Tannev he could oaly say that that ofticer had followed inthe wake,of his. pre- decessor, General Black, Pending further,_debate the . committee rose and the house adjourned.

The bik: finadly passed after several amendments had béen made, including one authorizing tho useof * 85,000 for the relief of the Turtio Monntaifi band of Indiaus at Devil's Lake agency. The Blair educational bill was then taken up and Mr. gawley adaressed the senate in opposition to it. ¢Congress did not govern 80 well that it hould undertake to do everything, said Mr. Hawley. There were not school ~ houses enough in the city of ‘Washington, whero congress had exclusivo jurisdiction, Half of the children hud to attend school iu the fore- noon and half in e afternoon, Congress had shown that it could not run the cominon schools of the district. He found, too, that congress was not & success in the manngo- ment of the Indians, for he read every day charges that government agents wero rob- bing the Indians, and he had read recently an eloquent protest from the chief of the Cherokees that they wera being crowded out of their lands. He found congress was im- becile, so far as the' coast defenses of the country were concerned. ‘Che government had a few castiron guns and no protection against first or second class ironclads, “Three or four years ago there had been nothing but the ruins of a former brilliant navy, some poor old broken down rageed cripples of ships. Now the country was be- ginning to have a navy, but stilt it was prac- tically defenseless. ko found the supremo court loaded down with neglécted business, 50 there was practically a denial of justice all over the United States, and congress had not been able or willmg to reorganize and relieve that court. In short, he found overywhero proofs that congress was not absolutely wise. The bill was bad, it aban- doned th orizinal gheory of government and launched the government on gn unbounded sea of wild schemes. Mr. Moody offered some amendments to tho bill, which ho sad would reuder it fairer to South Dakota, and made a brief speech in support of the measure, Mr. Chaudler also argued in favor of the bill. “The bill then went over till tomorrow. ‘The house amendments to tho Oklahoma bill were non-concurred in and a conference ordered.

Ogden, the first presiaent of the North- ern Pacific road, said that if the company fixed its terminus on Puget Sound, 1t would become the largest city on the Pacific coast. ‘Whether that place is to be Tacoma or Seats tle appears doubtful now; both cities, which aro oaly somo thirty miles apart, present claims equally strong to that dgistinction. The name “Tacoma” was first known through Teeodore Winthrop's book, ‘I Horse and the Saddle,” which appeared in 1862, ‘Winthrop went to Panama for Aspin- wall in 1852, and in 1853 visited Puget Sound on his return. He gave an account of his voyage in a canoe with ladians tarough Puget Sound, and of his romantic and excit- g ridoover the Cascade mountains. He gave the name of Tacoma to the groat mountain peak hitherto known us Rainier, and the word is supposed to have been un attempt at imitation of one spoken by his Yakino frienda. The name was taken from his book by the founders of the place. Winthrop was killed eariy in the war at Big Hethel, Va. and s book was printed immediately after nis death. The name of the mountain dis- tinguishes the inhahitants of Tacomn aod Seattle, who respectively call it *‘Tacoma’ and “Rainier,” as earnestly as if their well- being depended on the distinction. “Tacoma strikes one gomng up 1o it from the railroad station much as Iansas C im- pressed the visitor tweuty years ago. ‘The road climbs along up the side of a lofty bluff, and when the level of the principal street is renched seyen or eight other streets are found running puratlel with it along the hill, with a rise of seventy-five feet in each block. This gradient is only on the streets running up tne hilt; the parallel streets, unlike those of Kansas City, are nearly level from end to end. As the crost of the hill is neared tue view becomes more expansive, of sound and bill and mountain. Mount Tocama fifty miles away rises loftily above the surround- ing heighits, and on a clear day at sunrise seems to stand juat beyond the waters of the sound. Some of the streets around the hill, and notabiy Tacoma avenue about mid- way in the height, are building up hand- somely. There are many beautiful homes and lawns, and thero are fine school-build- ings, churehes, business blocks and theaters. Where are now streets cut through the hill ascending, are neatly graded thoroughfares vearly level running along the hill, there was four years agooaly u steep and wild ascent filled with standing timber, with logs lying about. Ou all the first five streets along the hill residences and business blocks are everywhero gled, many of tho latter of bricl and three and four stories in height. The strects are all run at right angies and are wide, iike those of Omaha, Tacoma has only just'discarded horse cars, and is substi tuting electric cars, - The city is with all its activity, bustle and thrift a very quiet, law- abiding place. There is no more evi- dence of incbriety and lawlessness here, than one sees in Omaha; the saloons are quiet places and gambling is carried on inconspicuously. The churches are numer- ons. large and neat, and are well attended; Rev. Mr, Copeland, lately of Omaha, in com- mon with all the religious pastors, has his house well-filled with a well-dressed, intelli- «ent and alert congrogation. The peovle -are mostiy new comers from the eastern and miadle states, who think first of all of their business, school, church and social relations. ‘The cstablishment of the terminus of the Northern Pacific road, with the expenditure by the company of £4,000,000 or 85,000,000 on terminal improve- meuts, 8hops and off.ces, 15 leadivg more and more to largo permanent mvestments of private capital, as in the locks and ware- houses along the city front for sca-going vesseis: in the monster saw mills located along the shore for several miles; in the groat smolting works now nearly completed, at_an oxpense of mnearly $500,0%, and in many other manufactorics and stops that are cer- tainly going up. A magnificent structure will be built the coming soason for the aisplay of the industries and resources of the commonwealth. From its lofty towers the sound, Commencement bay, Mount Tacomn, the Cascades and the Glympic mountairs will be seen. The main building will be 230x300 feot, and two stories in height. There will be botanical garaens constructed of iron and glass, filled with blossoms and folinge, the most magnificent to be found in the northwest, especially the flora of Puget sound, with sea aund frosh water plaats, and submarine vegetation, the tanks being orna mented with shells and rocks. A collection of wild animals and birds native to the ve- gion, of 1ndiguous plants and native woods and of the various minerals found in Wash- wgton will also be on exhibition. Seattle 13 & remarkablo place, Tt differs from ‘lacoma much as (Kansus City differs from Omaha. Its streets are narrow, they are more or less curved: they intersect one another witih little regularity: but down town they exhibit a life, nctivity and magni tudo of business nothing short of surprising. By tho great fire of last June, the whole bus- iness portion of the city, over a milo 1o length aod from @& quarter to half a mile in width, comyrising 120 acres along the shore of the sound, was swept away. The view of that portion today recalls that Chi- engo after the great fire, “Everywhero over the burned district three,five and oven seven- story buildings of brick, stone and iron are going up, constructed in the most durablo and ornamental manner, and the founda= tions of hundreds of others are being laid. On_several down-town blocks, business is still being carried on in the canvas tents which wore hastily improvised after the fire. The lower story of many of the grow- ing structures is aiready utilized, whilo workmun are adding stories above and fin- 1shing off the roofs. The surprising thing is the groat number of real estate firws, whose signs everywhere meet the oye, ulong with those of the cheap restaurant and the Chins oso lanndryman, The city is growing im- mensely beyond its recent Limits. ‘There aro already three lines of cable cars in operation and oue of electric cars, which penetrate over the hills in every direction to the coun- try two or three miles. Along all these lines buildings aro going up At a surpriging rate. One cable road runs along' on the top of the bluff to the north. The view at every point is charming —several hundred feet below the waters of the sound skirted on either side with forest crowned hills, and alive with the business of its docks and vessels; in the distance tho Olympian mountains risiug to & height of over one mile; while along the road going un and down hill incessantly is a succession of tho most lovely sites for houses and grounds. The cable road runniug back to tne lakes 1s even more attractive, Going out on one lino the lake is seen far below and the cars rush down the long grade as if to land one in the waters that glimmeor among the dense growth of trees with which the hills are covered, Passing along the shore on a lofty briige ocurving over a deep raviue, the way up tue hill 18 by an incline little less thau appalling, For balf a mile oue is whirled up an asseut of ruily 35 pver a bridge 150 feet in height.
