VEST'S RESOLUTION DISCUSSED. 3 of Tennessee Selected to Preside r the House During the Enforced Absence of Speaker Crisp— Introduction of Bills, MeMill Wasnixaroy, D. C., Jan "he rosump- tion of the business session of the senute after the closo of the holiday recess was rgfjked by a protty full attondance of sona- "A,purllculnrly on the republican side ot “ehamber. Vice President Morton occupied ho copir. 'Tne usual mass of potitions was presented and reterred, comprising several in favor of a £5,000,000 loan to the Columbian exposition on condition of the fair being kept closed on Sundays, A number ot bills and memorials of no gen- eral importance viere then presented, among the former the following by Senator Poffer: To increaso the circulating medium by issuing treasury notes based ou gold and silvor coin and bullion, andto amend the coinage laws accordingly; to amend the Inter-state commerce act, and to prohibit options, trusts and combinations, For rylng Flour to Russia, Mr. Washourn fntroduced a joint resolution authorizing tho secretary of the wavy to employ any United States vessel best adapted to such sevvice for the purp 0so af transporting coatributions to the ja- { babitauts of Russia suffering for want of 100d, and if necessary to charter vessels for that purpose. Ho asked for its immediato consideration, The president’s message on the samo subjuct (just received), was laid be- fore the senate. The joiat resolution was amended by limit- ing the appropriation to $100,000, and was then passed—40 to 9. “The negative votes were given by Messrs, Bute, Berry, Chilton, Coke, Harris, Jones of Avkansas, Kylo, Pugh and Vest; and Mr. Cavlisle stated that if he had not been paired be would have voted no. Tho commission of B. W. Perlkins as sena- tor to succeed the lato Senator Plumb was presented and Mr. Perkins took the oath of office, Various additional bills were introduced and referred. Mr. Vunce was sworn in as senator for his new term. Tho resolution offered by Mr. Vest on the 10th of Decembor, requesting tho president of the United States Lo cause to make public | the correspondence ana negotiations to be Jhad throurh the Department of State, or iotherwise, with the authorities of Great Britain for the purpose of socuring the abro- atjon or modification of the regulations Ahisk require cattle imported from the fiited States to be slaughtered at the port of éntry and prohibit thoir being carried alive to othor partsof the kingdom, was road by Mr. Vest, explained and advocatod. Mr, 1 iglish Free Trade, Mr. Hale treated the regulations in ques- tion as a marked instance of Great Britain's inconsistency in the matter of free trade. “Groay Britain,” he saud, ‘was constantly proaching homilics on free trace, was ob- jecting in every possible way to pro- tection as embodied in the statutes of the United States, and was calling down on the heads of tho American people tho censure and the vengeanze of the civilized world be- causy of the barbarism, the extreme barbar- ism and unenlightenment of their protective and yet, under the forms of quaran iions, it was actually prohibiting the exportation from the United States to ireat Britain of live animals and _establis ing a completd probibitory tariff. No Awe can cuttle ov sheop could be introduced 1nto Great Britain to compete with the farmers and cattlo ratsers of that country, any more than if, in terms, a taviff duty of 100 per cent. Dhad been laid on them. This was because the British authorities (committed, as they selaimed to be, to free trade with all th forld) were aware of the disastrous ef- I <ct of such importation on the British ¥ “farmors and cuttle and sheep raisers. 1t was an instance of the inconsistency of the Brit- ish evy of froe trad #Tho British government gid not, as the orican government did, iposo protective tities, but it proceeded under another form to enact an outright prohivitory tariff. Ho dia not want the resolution to” be adopted le without calling nttention to that inconsist- eucy, but he did not oppose tho resolution, vy Mogives, Mr. Vost deprecated the introduction of a tariff discussion on the resolution and should certainly not put himself in tho attitude of defending eithor tho motives or the uction of the authoritggs of Great Britain, It was, however, improper to state, as a historical fact, that that action had been based ostensi- bly on the fact that there had been sporadic cases of pleuro-pneumonia fourd in exported American cattle. That the number of those cattle had been very largely exaggerated from mercenary motives in differont quarters in- England, bad been (ho thought) made fully apparont by tho report of the senato select committee on meat produets, to which report he referred the senators. What he desired was to remove the obstacle withou irritation, witbous friction, because he con- sdered it the fivst object of statesmanship to Lring about results that would insure to the venofit of American peoplo. Hore was tho fact thatthose quarautine regulations existed and it was only prover tosay that the British authoifities had stated that they desired to seo what would bo the operation of the actof March 1, 1800, (for the inspec- tion of cattle sent abroad) before they toomdefinite action in regard to their quar- antine resolutions, 1If, after the state de- artment had called the attention of the British government to the subject and bad calmly prosentod all the facts showing that Do diseased cattle were oxported from the United States, the Mritish authorities re- fused to treat Ameaican cattle justly, ho (Mr Vest) would not be found lagging when the senator from Malne (Mr. Hale) proposed the most extreme measures in order w remove the outrage. Mr, Hale expressed the desive that the seaator from Missouri might be successful ju what he proposed, but he waraed him that in bis path lay not only the quarantine officers of Great Britian and the boards of health, but the British farmers and British raisers of cattle and sheep, and that his efforts would be futilo, becauso he would come fuco to faca with what was the actual troudle in the case aud not the ostensiblo trouble. The resolution was adopted, Additional bills were introduced sud re- orred as follows: For the settlement of the sloux City & Pacific Railroad company debts to the governmeut. Kor the local overnment of Utah territory, Prohibiting roe passes on rallroads, except in certain cases. ‘The senrte thon proceoded to executive business and after roforring somo nomina- tions adjourned until tomorrow., AKER Mun Wil Preside House ily.

List of the Bills Introduced in Congress Yesterday. MINISTER MONTT SPEAKS FOR CHILI On the Floor of the House the Southern Republic'’s Representative Declu That Hls Government Will Maintain ¥ At Any Costs " 513 FOURTEENTIT STRERT, WasiiNoroy, . C., Jan, b, Congressman McKeighar of the Second district was the only member of the Ne- braska delegation not present at the recon- vening of congress today. Congressman Kem was in his seat when the session opened, Mr. Bryan coming in later with a bundle of papers, presumably bills, bheld promivently in his right hand. When Ne- braska was reached in the call of tho states Mr. Bryan introduced the following bills and resolutions: A joint resolution provid- ing for the election of United States senators by the people; o bill providing for selling real and personal property under decrees of the United States court at the county seats of the counties where such property is situ- ated; a bill compelling the publication of notices of the sale of property, real and per- sonal, under decrees of the United States in the county whore such property is situ- ated; a bill placing binding twine on the free list and .a bill for tho establishment of a branch mint at Omaha, Mr. Kem produced only one moasura which was a bill entitled “*‘An Act to Provide an Adequate Volume of Legal Tender and Coin and also to Provide for Government Bank- ing and Other Purposes,” This is a measure framed on tho line of the specia! treasury idoas of the south. Other Western Bills, Tho following bills wero introduced by Reprosentative Picklor of South Dakota: Providing that homestoaders on the Sfoux roseryation who pay $1.25 per acre for land shall have it without such charge: amending the timber culture law of tho last cougross, providing that aftor seeding and cultivating for eight years accoraing to law, proof may be made regardless of tho number of treos living; providing for the printing of 200,000 copiesof the report on the diseases of tho a service pension for ovs of the lato war; for public buildings at Pierre and Deadwood aud appropriating $200,000 each; for the oularg- ing of the list of soldiers preferable for civil oftices under tho civil service rules, so that any soldier who passos a civil service exami- nation shall be preferrod, the law oeing thit only those who were discharged on_account of disability shall bo preferred; a joint reso- lution providing that the secretary of war shall instruct the quartermaster general to issuo clothing, eguivage, etc., to colloges where military oficers are stationed and upon the same terms that they are supplied to the army, also a number of private bills, Chlll Prepared to Apologize. The apperanco of Muister Pedro Montt upon the floor of the housoof represonta- tives at noon today gave unmistakablo ovi- dence that Chili iad come off her high horse and was disposed to assume a more courte- ous and apolegetic attitude. Tho ministor's appearance came soon after unofficial ad- vices had been reccived that the Chilian authorities had called Minister Montt to make ample apology for the outrage ou the crew of tho United States ship Baltimore and 1t appeared to confirm thesa unofficial advices whethor he was acting on orders or not. Senor Montt was in the most courteous and counciliatory mood. He was pilotea about and introduced by Governor McCreery of Kentucky who is a member of tho houso committoe on foreign rolations, and tho only member of tho houso invited to the recent dinner given by the Chilian minister. Ho made a most favorable impression by his cusy mauners and his constant emphatic assurances that a peacoful settlemont of the Chilian troublo would certainly easue. With all the vehemenco of & Spaniard he shook his head at the possibilities of war and shrugged his suoulders over the likeness of some of the points of contention and brought his hands together to emphasizo his belief that Chili would do everything that was fair and honorable. Towa's Warlike Sentiments, In tho house today Colonel Houderson of Dubuque, Ia., presented a lottor written by J. B, Ilanders of that city, urging Repre- sontative Henderson to pross, at the first opportunity, and urge the adoption of moas- ures to offectually suppross the outrages upon Americon seamen in Chili. In his lotter Flanders says: “*We aroin 1o way responsible for the condition of affairs that seoms to nre- vent the local government from putting a stop to this, but it is not at all unlikely the Chilians consider, at least many of them bo- leve, we aro unable to afford to our citizens through the government the protection they have & right to expect, and il this people haye that idea 50 will others and a_failure to maintain_onr rights 1 this iostanco will make it all the more difficult to establish thom olsewhero, We should so act in this question that thoe fact will spread abroad that we ara not only able, but ready and will- ing at all times and at every hazard to pro- tect the lifo and interests of our own people, whether on sew or land.” Miscellane Wasniveros Bureaw or T 16 n.,.-,} s, In the senate today Senator Allison intro- duced bills for the iucrease of the pension of George W.

A committee was thon appointed by both branches and notitied the governor that the legislaturo had organized. He at once sent in his message and it was réad.

For the first time in tHe contest the Shermun people today gave names aud figures. Chairman Hahn of/the stata cen- tral committee says: ‘‘Shemman will have fifty-six votes ~ beyond . all question. Eifteen of these will be senatops and forty-one ropresentatives, If tho votawas taken now that would be my estimate of the result. However, it may be incroased.” Representative Dunn, who has been claimed by the Foraker people, this moruing unqualifiedly declaved for Shermau, NEXT WEEK, oraker peoplo administration Cappelur rnor Forakor's “Whother COMMEN Biennial Struggle for Populdr Favor in the Towa Loglslature Almost On, Des Moixes, Ta., Jan, Special to Tue Ber.]—Next Monday 1s the time set by the constitution for the opening session of the Twenty-fourth general assembiy. Place hunters are beginning to arrive, and even a few of the newly electod members may be found in the lobbies of the leading hotels as the openiug day approaches, The sepate will consist of twenty-four ro- puvlicans and an equal number of democrats with _two independents—Olson of Webster and Bagle of Jusper—holding the balance of the power. Both of the alleged independents were elected in opposition to the regular publican nominees on a fusion ticket. Englo is & prohibitionist and may kick out of the traces in the preliminuary skirmisb in order to secure some concessions to the people’s party in the organization of the senate. The lower house is republicap standing fifty-three to forty-seven and will be organ- ized in short order. There is u lively scramble for both the chief clerkship and for the minor positions and the contest for the speakership is waxing warm. The lead- ing candidates for speaker. are D. G, Chase of Webster, W. O. Mitchell of Adams and B. B. Lane of Polk. Mr. Chase :is o young lawyor with one session’s ‘legistative-expar- 1ence. Two years ago he stood in with tho farmer combine and guve a LoRrty support to all the measures that were framed by the farmers aliisnce. 4 Mitchell of Adams is also a lawyer and a member of a local branch of the lowa farmers alhance. Cowing from a strong anti-monopoly county and with the solid support of his congressional district he will make a formidable candidate. He is a new member, Laue of Polk is a farmer who made a good record in the last session. He was tempo- rary chuirman during the deadlock and pre- sided with perfect fairness and impartiality. Mr. C. V. Beverly of Greene, J. B. Swin- burne of Humboldt and W. O. Payue of Story are all after the chief clerkship of the house. Mr. Puayne comes from tno banner republican county and has been first assist- ant clerk, which gives him a slight ad- vautage. The candidates for the minor positions are litorally *‘too numerous to mention.” It is now bolieved that the democrats will make no serious effort to sceure the repeal of prohibition. They canuot carry the bill through eitner branch without' the help of at least two republicans in the senat and four in the house, und they are now scheming to araft & measure which no self-respeoting republican can support. On the other hand it is claimed that the republicans will introduce & rigid high license law with & local option clause and force the dem- ocrats to show their hands, uitd compel them in the end to take their ehoice bevween $1,000 license as proposed by the republicans, and a continuation of the present prohibitory Dolioy. The legislature will also have to wrestlo with the problem of incregsing the tax lovy or plunging the state into debt. There is only about #500,000 avaflable for extraordin- ary appropriations and the hungry institu- tions are asking for more than twice that sum. Twqyears ago it was estimated that the Towa exhibit at the World's fair could get along with $50,000, but the commussion ap- poiuted by Governor Boies have submitted estimates and will ask for nearly $400,000 for this siow. The farmers ure up in arms over this proposition and will ake a vigorous fizht against it. COLLIDED IN A FOG.

Some time ago an investization of police court records was rdered by the City Council. The police had judge nad been in the havit of retamning his salary out og the finos and fees collocted by him, and failed to make any report to the council as the luw directs. Tho council passed a resolution directing him to report, as roquired by law, and to turn over all fines and foes to tho city treasuror. The city council ulso instructed the chief of police to turn over all moneys collected by him to the city treasurer without passing them through the bands of tho police judge. It bad vpreviously been the custom of the chief of police to colloct the baudy house fines and to turn them over to the potice judge, Kach of the proprietors of such resovts in the city havo recently received a lotter fruu the police judge directing tnat they pay all moneys directly to bim and informing them and the inmutes that no account would bo made if the payments were mado toanybody elsc. T'ie matter was brought up’ in the council meeting last night and after a discussion it was decided to rescind the instructious of the ohief of police, whereby he was to turn over tho money to the city treasurer, and ordering him to collect *he fines and turn thom over to the nolice judee as herctofore. This angered the police official and ne flatly refused to do anytning of the kind. Nobraskn Mortguages, Cuaproy, Neb,, Jan. 5,—[Special to Tue Ber. |—The following figures, takon from tho records at tho county clerk’s oftice, attest the result of just one good crop in Dawes county. As yet this locality has no beet sugar plants, but Chadron and Crawford are both after them, and overy ussurance is given that farmers can soon have a market for sugar beets ut this place, and then such a period of prosperity will cnsue as was nover drenmed of.

They Furnish the Money to Carry on the Fighting Whi They Hope Wil Result In Overthrowing ment. Lineno, Tox., Jan. 5.—Starthng develop- monts {a regard to the Garza revolution have been made puvlic. The head and front of tho whole matter is coming to light. ‘The paper lound in the saddlebags of Pablo Munez, ono of tho captured revolutionists, throws a great deal of light on the sitaation. It proves conclusively that what was fore- shadowed four days ago is true, and that is that tho clerioal party is furmshing tho money with which the campaign is being conducted. In all the forays made by Giarza he has not stolen or plunaered tho smallost article, On the other hand he has paid cash at high prices for what he has noeded. Where all this money was coming from has been puz- zling the American and Mexican authorities. It is now ascertained that Monetez de Actezn, & citizen of Monterey, Is the tinancial agent of tho ' clerieal party in suppiying Garza with funds, Summed up, 1t is this: Bishops Monteste do Oca and Iturbide bate Diaz and so does Garza. They furnish the money aund Garza aves the work. There 1s not a word of spee- ulation in this. It is a cold, naked fact, 50 {ar as Garza attempting any troublo on this side is concerned, it is tho veriest non- senso. When Lo attacked the United States troops under C n Bourke, it was unde necessity. His camp was surprised at night and he opened tire and fled. So it has been all along. ‘I'be sole ambition of tho Garza revo- lution is to gov across the river, Inflammatory pronuuciamentos over differ- ent signatures calling Moxicans to arms against tyranny are constantly being cir- culated on both sides of the Rio Grande. 1f the United States authorities keep Garza forcos well rounded up instead of capturlug them, they will be forced to cross into Mexico, aud then the real tocsin of war will Le sounded. The clerical party is strong and rich, and Diaz’s imprisonment of the priests mado them bitter, The Mexican administration desires to Suppross overy mention of the revolution and pretends to believe thore is no trouble brewing, but their actions and preparations are at varlance. The govern- ment realizes the inevitable and is actively at work. As aresuit of tho trouble Mexican silver has fallen in price considerably. Foreigners who nave developod Maxicau In- dustries are alarmed. The foreign moral orters of Diuz, say it is true that he s more like an emperor than a president republic, but it is this whi ners security The present uprising is secking for a mili- tary leader, but at present there are none availatle. All tho governors und generais are well paid and rich, and they will stay on sido because they have all to lose and Hlog o gain. Besides they are all grow- old. "Tbe telegraph wires votween Kort Ring- gold und this city are in good working order and duily reports are reccived from the sent of war ‘at the military department boead- quarters Heére, ln addition to official inform- ation Goneral Stuuley recoived a lotter from Captain Bourke, In which tho lattor asks thut the attention of tho fedeval authorities be called to the uecessity of having a greatly incrensed force of United States deputy mar- shals ou the border. Mo states that the people of the Rio Grande valley will ‘help Garza to the lust womun and child, and it is. almost impossibte for the troops to accomphsh any- thing in the way of suppressing them, us they always assumo new numes when arrest is attempted from written descriptions, ang those wanted escapo. Captain Bourie con- cludes by stuting ho has just recsived a lotter from Captain Hardie requesting that Sherift Seeley send full deseriptions aud names of those whoso arrest is desired by the govern- ment. He asserts that he is positive that he has seen several of those whose names he has on his list, and that he is confident tbat he can arvest at loust a dozen of the active sup- porters of tho Garza movement in the vicin- ity of Suleneno if he can get some ono who kilows the partics wanted, so that they can be identifiod.

Al that has been so far accomplishod has boen the routing of Garza's men when they weie en. countered 1 small bands. Tho policy of the revolutionists when attacked, so far, has been to scatter through the chapparal, and it is confidently 3 that iu every such instance they u secrat rendezvous wheto they come iogether again nfter the skirmish. It is not believed that the actual stronghold of tho revolutionists has been reached, although Second Licutenant George H. Langhorne and Captain ['vancis W, Har- die, with their detachments, met many roum- ing bands of them during the recent scout lasting several days. The people of the lower RRio Grande coun- try ave ull ignorant conntry people, A writ- teh report to General Stanloy says: “Of the populous part of the Rio Graade valley not much can be said. Tnero aro some fow peoplo oducated and with re- finement, but the mass of the in- habitants are saturated with ignorance and superstition which has no parallel this sido of the Congo. Although in their habits und speech and dress they are essentially American, thoy sre also anti-American. ‘They have no symputhy with eithor govern- ments. To wake clear how thoroughly ignor- unt these people are, 1 wish Lo say that dur- g the last spring and early sumimer 1 noted down all their superstitions and wierd funcies, and found they were fivin believers in the ovil eye, witcheraft, cures by nonerry arguielotto, #rcery, incantation, and all other ideas of the same kind which prevailed in Kurope from the time of the crusades until the F'rench revolution.
