After some opposition the motion carried und the house proceeded to its discussion. On demand of Mr. Rogers of Ark; senate amendments were readin extenso, The reading consumed more than an hour. A short discussion ensued asto the limit which should be placed upon the general de- bate.

Louis protesting against the passuge by the senateof the federal election bill. Othtr memorinls agiiust thebill were present from Aduian, Mick The house bill on that subiccet was, on motion_of Mr, Hox to the commitiee on privileges and Mr. Sherman offered a resolution instruct- ing the committee on printing to report whether auy uabuses exist in printing the mgtter in ‘the Cong Record thyt ought not to be printed thervin and o repert such a bill or regulation as will limit such rinting to the actual proceedings in both houses, also whether it is expedient to edit the debates of congress by the omission of such parts as aco immaterial and of such papers us are already printed as public docunents, ‘Tye resolution was referred to the com- mittee on printing. Mr. Morrill moved to proceed to the con- sideration of the taviff bill and Mr. Gray an- tagonized that motion with one to resume the cousideration of the house bill to transfer the revenue marine scrvice to the navy depart- ment. The latter motion was arreed to und the revenue mavine bill was talcen up, Amendments were adopted extending appli- cation of the hill 10 thelife saving service. Mr, Cockrell spoke against the bill, He hadnot concluded his remarks when the hour of 1 0'clock arrived and the tariff bill came up us untinished business. The formal reading of the bill was dispensed with, Mr, Vance then procecded to address the senate, Mr. Vancesaid the resultof the bill might be to reduce the revenue toa certain extent, but not to reduce taxes, What the peorle de sired was a common sense reduction of reyve- nueand a esponating relief from the pay mont of taxes, The McKinley bill was an e on an patience and an insult to the intelligence of mankind, 1t neither re- duced rovenue, in the senseof reducing taxa- tion, norequalized duties on imports, On the contrary, it increased taxation and made the duties more unequal by imposing heavier burdens on the poor than on the rich and by w shock the morl seuse of every just man Mr. Vance went on to areaign the republi- can party for the evils which, he claimed, protection had brought upon the country. He quoted from Mr. Blaino's letterto ¥Fryd and sald the unmistukable wisdom of whit that distinguished man had said illustrated the wisdom of what he had leftunsad. If it were important (0 extend American trade to “Central und South Americait would not be unimportant to extend it to the European coutinent, whichin wealth and population was ten times greater, 1 fi trade with the people of the Latin races was dosirable and profitable, 1o reasoning could show that to free trade with the people of Teutoni blood was not as desirable ind profitable, Mr. Plumb said before proceeding to the consideration of the bill by paragraphs he wouldliketo know what the finance com- mittee believed would be the effect of the bill on revenue, Mr. McPherson sald the almost ablo speeches of the senators frow Indiana and North Carolina, Voo and Vance, seemed to preclude the necessity an and fu ther defense of the democratic party, and now the seuator from Kansas, Mr. Platob, in the simplicity of his nature’ inquired from his own' cominittee for some information on the bill.

Resolved, That it is the sense of this house. thit the world's fair should be lield upon one site. There was at ouce astorm of opposition to the resolution, it being declared outof order, Spealer Cochran_held that it was germain, as it referred to the subjects within the call.

They Will Not Object. SerNariern, 111, July ~The state hoard of agriculture has finally concluded it will not attempt to interfere through the mem- bers of the general assembly with the world's fair site question. After repeated confer- ences with representatives of the Chicage di- rectory, they have concludea that the Chi- cago directors are bound to accept the lake frontas a portiongof the site and that any war of the agricaltural members against the members would only tend to seriously eme barruss the directory and endangor the sue- coss of the fair. The stato board of agri- calture also rely upon assurances of Vice President ~ Bryau that only a small, portion will be held upon the lake front, and | that in Juckson park, ethe agricultural aud live stock exhibits are to be pluced, there will also be situated many others of the most attractive features of the world's fair, So they have decided to limit their action to in- troducing in the general assembly a resolu s which was offered by Mr. Paddock to- feclaring their belief that a single site should be selected, but in nowise attempting to dictato in the mitter to the directory, President Palme Wisnngroy, D € July ator Palmer, president of the ‘world's fair commission, uccompanicd by retury Dickinson, is in the city in the interest of the fair. Mr. Palmer exprested gratification over the settlement of the location of the fair and said the division between Juckson park and the lake front was more nominal than real. It in his opinion add largely general interest and _atteact- | iveness of the fair becauso the luke front woull bo devoted to featuros that would naturally draw crowds at nieht while the bulk of tho fair proper would be | located at Jackson park Being askel as to the truth of the repo that Mr. Goshern had stated he would not ac- cept the position of dircetor gencral, Mr. Pal- | met replied the committee had no authority | tooffer the appomtnent to Goshern and did kuow ho would accept it if offered, “But," said he, *he has not yet said that he | would decline to serve.” s View Sen- would to the Horticulturlists' Action, Ciicago, July 25.—The boand of horticul- ture has decided to in the rious n tional, stato aud other promineut borticul- *tural socletics and nursery men's and fores- | try associations to meet in Chicago August | 2710 take uction on the best method of prop- erly representing the horticuitural interests of the country at the world's fair.

C., duly 3. § President Harrison has at last succeeded in accomplishing what yearsof toil on the part of certain members of tho houseand an almost unanimous demand from the people of the country have hitherto failed to sccure. The house committec on postofices and post roads hias reported a bill prohibiting the transmis- sion through the mail of lottery matter of all | deseriptions and placing in the hands of the postimaster general such authority as is nec- essary for bim to carry out this prohibition, This was not accomplished without mugh laboron the partof the president, as was stated in the dispatches a fow days ago, but President Harrison and the postmuster general had almost despaired of any action on the part of the house, although there' was in the house committee on post- ofices and post roads a sub-committee which was supposed to devote itself exclusively to the subject of lotteries. There was before the sub-committee no less than six bills b ing on the subject, but action was inexplica- bly delayed. The bill excluded from the mails not only all classes of advertisements nd moncy, drafts, checks and all forms of values od for lottery companies or agents ting them, but schemes of long as ten or twelve years ago 1 Browne of Indiana introduced a bill the house looking to thisend. Hewent the committee and urged it in the nume of decency and fa to the people who were umable to seo the fraud in the management of lot- terics to adopt @ bl of this charcter, Every two years since he has in- 1an anti-lottery bill, but mysterions influences have in each instance either kept the bill in the committee or after being re- ported have prevented its commg up for con- sideration and no measure looking to the sup- pression of the lottery bill has come within gunshot distance of becoming a law. It was privaiely stated some weeks ago that Presi- dent Harrison, growing weary of the lottery frauds and impatient_with the inaction of cress, had determined to take the matter into his own hands. T'wo or three weeks ago the chairman of th house committee on post- offices and postroads called at the white house on two or threo occasions and jt was saidl about congress at the time that his calls were upon the re- quest of the president, who urged that there should be some action 'taken ut this session. It was stated that the president, has said that unless a bill was voluntarily reported from the committee he would send a message to congress pointing out the evils of the lottery business and urging immediste action, and it is presumed that the probability of such action on_the part of the president prompted the house commiitee to take the action which it took toda; a significant coincidence that toduy in the trial of a police lieutenant before the district commissioners Sergeant $ the defendant, Lienten- had confessed receiving money from the Louisiana lottery and gave the naines of other oflicers who had also received moneys from the s source, Among those men- tioned ce K. Atchison, now awatch- man at the white house The disburser of the funds was said to be Dr. Mohun, now resident, physician at the district almshouse. COMING MEN IN NEW YORK. Mr. Thornton of New York, a_dolegate to the national conyention of 158 and an actiy republican politician, was in Washington to- duy toconsult with' the parlismentary au- thoritics upon a suppositicus case liabl arise out of the contest in the kmpi over the selection of a successor to Evarts. Ho brought with him a news relating to two prominent people of New York. Said he: *‘Repuslicans in our state accept as genuine the recent announc ment by snator Platt of his retirement from politics, Ex-Si Warner Miller has made o contract with the Nicarugua caral company that he will not engage in politics fora ‘term of four years, so both of these men are out of the ~senatorial race. The principal entries, one of whom I think will be successful, aro State Senator Erwin of St. Lawrence county and State Senator Sloan Fassitt of Chemung county. ™ THE TWIN INFLATION CITIES, Thecensus row in St. Paul and Minne- apolis has grown to such proportions that it is likkely that the twin cities will have to go through the ordeal of another count. The frauds which were practiced in Minneapolis were beyond question the most extensive and most, boldly planned ever attempted by a community with the ideaof defrauding the general government, Last week the census oMcers hiere gave out thata re-examination of thereturns showed the population of Min- apolis to be about one hundred and eighty- six thousand. Subsequent investigation, however, led to a considerable reduction from these figures, and on Wednesday it was reported that” Minneapolis would not nave more than one hundred and seventy-seven thousand. Later the total _population was still further reduced by the discovery of gross frauds on the part of enumerators and ow the oflicers here are so thoroughly satis- fied that while the work of taking thé census in Minneapohs was frandulent that it has been determined to count the nopulation over again as the cheapest and most effectual w. out of the difticulty, but just when it was dé- termined that Mineapolis should be ve- counte 1 that there was some funuy business in the mannerin which the St. Paul census has been taken, Small shanties down in baci districts, which not more that t ve or fourteen fect front, twenty feet deep and one- story, are repouted to ontain -~ a proportion of say from twent to forty people in cach case, Then aguin it was dis covered that hundr s of men have bean counted over twice, either intengionally or by ccident, As one of the officials put it, the | enumerators did not propose to leta man es- cape from St. Paul without being enumer- ated, and this led toa complication which will probably make it necessary to have v count there. Superintendent Porter said | that he had not yet fully determined to order | count in St. Paul, but hethought it would st way outof the dificulty that the two cities should again be enumerated at one and the same time, This St, Paul and Min neapolis affair has sot back the work in the lly, It is said there are t or thirty people kept busy examining these returns alone who mignt be profitably em ployed on other work,and the resull will prabably be to delay the final recapitulation of the returns and the subsequent veport to congress, TECHNTCALLY The term *disbanded” emy special last night in describing the rearran ge ment of the fufautry, whereby companies I and KK in each reginentarc o bo practically abolished seems to have caused coi- siderable anxiety in army circles in the region traversed by Tue Bee, The word *disbanded” was employed in the orders 1ssued from the war department and is there- fore officially correct, although the officers at the department say that technic the term may be misconstried, as they inténd to keep up the companics on paper, but ou paper ouly. The reason of this can be easily understood. o men of the two companies 5o dishanded will be distributed, as already stated in Ber, among the other eight companics of the regiment.

Your question sur prises me, for youcaniot have forgotten that only six years ago tho prime minister of Spain, in lis anxiety to securo froo admission forthe sugar of Cubaand tor Frye has fo our markets rreed toa very extensive treaty of iprocity with Mr. Foster, then our minister at Madrid, The year before—in 1883 —a v admirable treaty of reciprocity was negc ated by General” Grant and Mr, Trescott as United States commissioners with tho re- public of Mexico—us a treaty it was weil considered in all its parts and all its details— whose results would I believe have proved highly advantizeous to both countries, In view of the pending discussion it is a some- what singular civcumstance that both these ies failed to secure the approval of con- ss and failed for the express reason that~ both provided for the free adwmission of sugar. Congress would not then allow a single pound of sugar to como in free of duty under any circumstances whatever, and now the proposition is to open our ports free to everybodys' sugar and todo it with such rapidity that we are not to have a moment's timeto see if we cannot. make a bet ter trade—a trade by which wo may pay for least part of the sugarin the products of American farms and shops. Our change of opinion certainly has beerk remavkable in 50 brief a period.” Iudeed the only danger of our not sccuring_an advamageous treaty of reciprocity now is the possible belief on the partof those couuiiries tlatwe are auxiou: or free sugar—that by patient waiting they an sccure all they desire without money and without price. Fearing thatresult I sought an fntervier with eight republican members of the ways and means committee more than five months ago. I endeavored to con- vi them it’ would be expedient and Wiso to leave to the president the opportunity to see what advantageous arrangements of a reciprocal treaty could be affected. 1 was unable to persuade the committee to tike my view. This, | think, avery graye mistak to oppose this reciprocal proposition touc ing sugar from the fear that it may con- flict in some way with the policy of protec- tion. The dangeris, 1 think, wholly in the opposite divection, ‘The value of the sugar we annually consume is enormous, Shall we pay for it in cash or shall woscek a recipro- calarrangement by which a large purt of it may be pud for in pork and beet and flour, in lumber and in salt and fron, in shoes and calico, and furniture and thousands of other thing: “I'think the latter mode is the highest form of protection and the best way to pro- mote trade. “When shall be enlarged our commercial intercourse with that gecat continent, South America, if we do not now make a begin- ning! If we now give away the duty on sugar, as wealready have given away the duties on coffee and hides and rubber and getting nothing in_exchange which shall bo profitable to farm or factory in the United States, what shall be our justification for the policy § You have recentiy received congratu- ations—in which I cordially join—on carry- ing the shipping bill throagh the senato.
