ISENATE MEASURES PASSED Qran1 Ieland Pablic Building Bill Pushed Through by Senator Paddook. STANDARD GRADING FOR ALL CEREALS ¥ the Touse Favors This Bl the Farmers Wil Have clal 1 d Some Very I gisiati, Notes and Go: Washington Wasnixerox 518 WABHINGTON, In the senate late this afternoon Senator Paddock called up and had passed his bill appropriating $60,000 for a public building at Geana Island. There was uo opposition to the bill. The senato also passed this afternoon the bill providing for a uniform standard of classification and grading of wheat, com, oats, barley and ryo, which Senator Paddock pronoutces one of the most 1mportant meas ures for farmors that has came verore io‘s congress. In brief tho biil directs the sccre- tary of agriculturo to determine and fix such classitication for grain as in his judgment the usages of trade warrant aud permit, which shall be uniform throvghout the coun- try and recognized in law. This will do away with the differences of grading now so com mon in the various grain marisats, What It Cost to © Chilian Refuges Licutenant Harlow ,who is back from his arduous dut in connection with the World's fair, was in close communication with Minister Iigan during the most critical stages of the trouble betwoen the United States and Chili. Lieutenant Harlow says that Mr. Kgan’s return to this country is due solely to his groat need of rest as his hysical and nervous strongth was severely axed during the troublo. Lieutenant Har- Jow hus seen Mr. Egan receive a cipher dis- pateh from the State department early in tho morning and labor with the cipher code thoroughout an entire day and tho following night befors deciphering it. Another State departmentofiicial just back from Chili says that Mr. Bgan will return to the United States almost imvoverished by hoeavy drains of his private purse made ‘during the revolution when he gave refuge 10 a large number of the Balmacedists, The wife of tho official was at tho legation throughout this turbulent timo and at tho request of tho minister acted as hostess at tho table. She says there was never less than fifteen refugees at the table aud at times the number reached eighty-five. &he says moreover that the Ameri- \can minister was extremely punctillious Ao his deference to the guests, sittiug at the four and five successive tables whict it was necessary to spread for them in order that they might be 0o apparent pr ence toward his guests. This arain on } Mr. wan’s courtesy and pocketbook lasted” four ouths and when it closed his health was broken and he was out of pocket wauy thou- sands of dvllars. It is froquently alleged that Abe State department has paid Mr. Egan for keeping & “boarding house” for Chilian refugees, but as o matter of fact not oue cent of this expenditure was paid by the Stato department, and Mr. Egan was left to meet 1t entirely out of his own pocket. Miscella In the timber culture contest of Richard Jones und Hoory Schmidt against Christian Inhelder from Chadron the assistaut secre- tary of the iuterior has affirmed the decision of "the commissioner canceling Inhelder’s entry and awarding preference right to Jones. He aiso affirmed the decision in the timber culture case of John O'Brien against |tne beirs of Joseph Schmucker from Lin- toln, dismissing O'Brien’s contest. P. S.

Mr. Raum told him be hed hypothecated 100,000 of the Btock to Mr. George E. Lemon as security for a loan of §25,000. V. M.

For the six weeis after the order was issued five-sevenths of the cases iu his Wivision were Lemon’s. James Morgan of Bloomington, Ind., who ‘was the Indiaus pension attorpey introduced to Hersoy by Representative Cooper, took the stand and in answer to Mr. Coope questions said that ever sinco Mr. Cooper’s ‘election to congress he had written to Cocper on departmental matters and Cooper had at- {tended to them for him without compensa- ‘tion, none beine offered, except as concerned the '§25 witness fee sent to Mr. Horsey through Mr. Cooper, aad which Mr. Cooper returned at ouce. A very important admission was secured from the witness by Mr. Enloe, the witness acknowledging that he had written the letter enclosing the §25 to Mr. Cooper at the sug- gostion of Special Exammer Greenwall of the pension office, whom Commissioner Raum bus. Wasnix bad sent out to investigate the mat- ter. Greenwall had practicslly framed the letters and had himself put the monoy in o registered letter instend of by a dralt, to Mr. Cooper, instead of Hersey in case tho matter might be fastened on Mr. Cooper and he be cntrapped. Mr. Greonwall said the ofice suspected that Hersey was caliing up cases under Mr. Coover's name and with bis knowledge, aud that Cooper was 6 party to it. It was a decoy letter, tho witness admitted, but it falled, because Mr. Cooper bad roturned the money in a lotter ating thut Hersey could take no wouey for work done for him (Cooper).

Bee bidg HOIST BY HIS OWN PETARD Bailey of Texas Learns That it is a Poor Rule That Will Not Work Both Ways. HOLMAN WITH HIS USUAL OBJECTION | e Objects to Increasing the EMclency of Our Navy—A Point of Order in Which Sustained-In the Sennte, Wasnixaroy, D, C., April 13,—The truth of the oid saving that “‘Chickens come home to roost” was exemplified in the house today. Mr. Bailey of Texas, one of the youngest members of the house, has prominentiy cone to the fore recontly by his attitude of object- ingto the passage of any measure uuloss there is a voting quoram. His position, though a sound one, is a very uupopular one and when he callod up a bill of a local char- acter the opportunity to boist him by his own petard was not lost. Mr. Chipman of Michigan was the en- gineer and he so worked his engine that the bill, though it was finaliy passed, was passed without a quorum voting. Then the houso embarked upon the sea of naval expenditure. The voyage was a smooth one until the prop- osition for a new cruiser was signalled. Then the engines were stopped, while Mr. Holman could explain why the new vessel was not legitimately upon the ocean. It was believed, however, by Messrs. Herbert, Bou- telle and Dingley that there was nothing piratical about tho craft which was sighted, but the consultation among the navieators was sufficiently long todelay the bark of legislation for several hours Captain Shively gave his casting vote in favor of moeting the newcomer of the squadron and Mr. Holman then cleared his decks for action with a motion to strike out the new establishment clause. But Mate Boutclie, believing toat the houso was abla to cope with two more battleships which would cost 4,000,000 each, suggested that the ouo alreudy sighted should be so rein- forced. But pending the decision on this poiut, the oftice:s concluded that they would have another consuitation. Holnan, As Usual, Objects. After routine business the house went into committeo of the whole on the naval appro- priation bill pending the question of & point of order againsta clause appropriating £25 000 wowards the construction of a dry dock at Algiers, La. The point of order was sustained, but it was stricken out of the bill. Then Mr. Holman raised a noint of order against the clause authorizing the president to nave constructed by contract an armed cruiser of about 3.000_tons displacement of the type of the New York to cost, exclusive of armor, not more than ),000. Mr. Boutelle and Mr. Dingley of Maine and Mr. Herbert of Alavama argued that the point was not well takea, and citea decis- ions by Speaker Carlisle and Chairmen Me- Creary, Wellborn ana Butterworth on the same point, in which they held such a point could not be sustained. It had been held, thoy contended, for twelve years, that a propo- sition to increase the navy was acontinuation of existing work and was therefore in order. Overruled the Point of Order. After debate the chair delivered his decis- ion. He said that if the question were an original one be would be inclined to regard the point as well taken under the provisions of rule 31. But as analagous questions had been decided in former congresses the chair was constrained to overrule the point of order. Mr. Holman then moved to strike out the appropriation for the new cruiser. Mr. Boutelle moved to amend the para- graph for thoe increase of the navy by pro- viding for two fast sea-going coast line bat- tleships of a displacement of about 10,000 tons, at a cost not exceeding $4,000,000 each. Pending action the committeo rose and the house adjourned. IN TH AT Chinese Immigration Discussed—Morgan on Freoe Silver—Bills Passed. Wasmixaroy, D. April 13,—Mr. Dolph, from the committee on foreign relations, re- ported back house bill for the absoluto pro- bibition of the coming of the inese into America, with a substitute. He stated that the substitute was the bills passed by the senute to continue 1 force for ten years all laws now in force prombiting and regulating the coming of Chinese persons sud persons of Chinese descent. It was the unanimous desire of the committee, except one member who, if he had been present, it is believed, would also have assented to it. He gave potice that he would try to have it taken up at the earliest possible moment because the presout legislation excluding Chinese would expire on the 4tn of May next. Mr. Felton sald that 8s it was a matter of vital importance to the state which he repre- sented and as it was different from what he had understood it would be, he aesired that a fow days would be allowed to elapse bo fore the bill shoula be taken up, so he might present his own views and those of the pao- ple of the coast on the subject. Mr, Felton recognized tne great importation of legisla- tion on the subject, and for the continuation of the present laws, but he had not the re- motest iaea that if the report of the com- mittee on foreign relations as agreed Lo and the seuate substituts passed, it would be ever heard of again during this session. Mr. Teller said that he did not wish tho discussion to proceed on the supposition that the existing law would expire as suggested by Mr. Dolph. In bis judgment it would not expire for two years longer. After further discussion the bill {with tho substitute) was placed on the calondar. The resolution offered by Mr. Stewart, calling on the secretary of the treasury for information as to the purchase of silver, tho coinage of standard silver dollars and the issuo of treasury uotes, was taken up and Mr. Morgan addressed the senate in favor of the free coinage of silver. Bills Disposed Of. At the close of Mr. Morgan’s speech Mr. Stewart's resolution went over without acuon aud the senate proceeded to the cou- sideration of bills on the calendar, disposing of them as follow: To reorzanize the artillery and infantry of the army and to increase its efficiency.

Much interest 1s taken in the orgauization, as it will be similar to that of the Manufac- turers or Lumbermen's associations, both of which have proven to be beneficial to tnose branches of business. The interests of the grain men of the state, says F. C. Swartz of the grain firm of Fowier & Swartz, are identified with those of the manufacturers and lumbermen. He believes that by forming & grain association and having general meetings once or twice a year Ot some central point at which questions of general intarest to tho trade can be discussed, will bring about a better underatanding of methods and als0 put tLe grain men iu a position to furthar their own interests Lo a much greater degree then when acting independent of each other. Mr. Swartz has boon assiduously at work the past week in getting the grain men inter- ested in tho project of establishing the pro- posed association. He says it will be no trust nor any concorted action to regulate the price of grain, but simply for mutual protection in maxing prompt deliveries of grain, fand also to creato amoro fraternal feeling among the grain dealers. All Wanted to Organize, The meoting was called to order by F. C. Swartz, who briefly statea the object of the assemolage as above set forth, Frederick Harris of Lincoln was chosen temporary chairman and Mr. Swartz secretary. Joseph A. Counor said that the time had arrived when such & organization #s pro- posed was necessary, He thought the grain men would be aooinilated uuvless they did something soon to protect their own inter- ests, He was a protectionist, and belioved that the grain men should in' some way be protected, but he . dia not favor a pool Ly organizing | the grain iuter- ests.
