Mr. Vilas asked Mr. Cullom whether he Ruew of any instance where any company deferred paying dividends in or means to protect the lives of its employes. Mr. Cullom knew no instanee of the kind The trouble was that railroad companies were looking more to finances than to the protection of the lives omployes Mr. Wolcott, republican, from Colo fuquired whether the association of fre men had not protested against the adopt of automatic couplers and expressed preference for the link and pin.

He gave statistics of the loss of life and limb by railway employes through accidents. It had been stated that the total Joss of railway employes, killed and injured, in eight years was equal to the total number of men engaged in railway service in one year, The men, he said, would be safer if they were enlisted In the army in time of r than they now were as railway employ Mr. Hunton said that he wis not able to give his assent to the bill, knowing its v seductive title.

[Laughter.] Inconsistent Democrats. Mr. Chaudler was glad to hear that declar- ation of independence from the senator from Tennessee,but he was amazed at the want of respect with which democratic senators treated the platform of thel Ho could now understand very well why the sen- ator from Maryland, Mr.’ Gorman, had not wanted this bill to be taken up yesterday. That ator had felt a reluctance to drive steel through the democratic platform twice in the same day. Knowing the declaration of the democratic convention on the subject of silver and knowing the entreaties of the president-elect, only eleven democratic senators could be muste yesterday to vote for the rey of the Sherman act, and now the next acclaration of the democratic p: platform which was marked for destruc was its declaration in protect the live on favor of legislation to and limbs of railroad em- ployes. “What are we coming to, Mr, P - dent?” Mr. Chandler continued. I believe that when the next congress meets a hke disregard will be paid to the declaration of the democratic national convention that measures of tariff legislation are unconstitu- tional.

Wasmixaron, I, C., Feb. 7.—The s amendments to the Harter bill of lading were concurred in.

Its Confirmation Opposed by Senator Turple Washington Notes. Wasmisarox, D. C.,, Feb. 7.—When the senate committee on forcign relations re- ported the Russian extradition today to the semate n executive session it wi i amendment to the effect that attempts to murder the czar or any member of the royal family should be considered a nonpolitical effense, regardless of what the motive of the criminal might be, and that, being non- political offenses, thoy should be extra- ditable. The same clause was productive of a good deal of debate. The opposition was led by Mr. Turpie, who has all along been a champion of the doctrine of the right of ylum. The senators evidently inclined to sinfon that the committee understood and were willing that their recom- stion should provail. for after a_some spirited argument on the part of Mr. Turpie the roll call showed ,more than the necessary two-thirds in favor of the amend- ment, and the treaty was ratified Mz Turpic was not satisfied with this ac n and his resolution today is in Ly men, T'his action | he seeks to annul by the passage of this reso amd limbs of their | | | con- | requirements | really | I shall be | ato | ated by the | | termine whethe; | with scarlet fever | cessful bidder and lution, which de the senate t lares it to be the sense of 1t jurisdiction in what are known as political offenses oueht not to be extraditable and that no treaty should be approved which proposes taking from the courts of the United States the right to de- or not an offense is political under the law of nations Explanations from Secrotary Foster. speaker laid before the house tod munication from the secretary of the sury in reply to a resolution of the house requiring him 1o inform that body wt work on some of the new public buildings, and the work on the extension and improve- comvleted and supied buildings authorizea during the congress has not been commenced more than 5,000,000 of the appropr made in these cases remained unexpended ing the past two years. It appears, he says, from the report of the supervising architect that this legislation entailed such a large quantity of new work on his office as to make the quantity of work entirely disproportionate to the force em- ployed In_ the office. Congress had failed to make increases in the force office and which were absolutely necessary The expenditure of a large portion of t led balances had been temporarily pre ted by conditions imposed by law entirely ond the control of the department. ho secretary, in conclusion, says: ©I deem it necessary to state that there has not been another fact connected with the condition of the treasury that has in any way interfered with or retarded the action taken by the department in regard to ing out the provisions of the acts of congress author- izing und making appropriation for publi buildings passed by the Fifty-first congre: or prior or subsequent thereto, as promptl A8 possible under the laws and facts ex- Plained.” Report on the Homestead Troubles, Mr. Oates' report of the Homestead troubles, which was published and so freely commented upon during the recess of con- gress, is accompanied in its presentation to the house by two minority reports. The majority declares that the tariff had nothing to do with the trouble; that the Homestead strikere were the aggressors; that agencie like the Pinkertons should never be employ without the consent of the state, previously obtained. Represcntatives Bynum, Layton and Stockdale concur, joining in ‘a report which denounces without stint the employ- ment of the Pinkertons.

Supreme Court Cannot Direct or Regulate Congressional Kepresentution. Attorney John F. Cromelien of this city some months ago '‘filed a brief in the state supreme court in an effort to show that Nebraska was then entitled to six seats in the lower house of congress and - that it was the duty of the governor to call an election for throe additional members of congress, whose terms would of course expire March 3, 15 On the ist inst. reme court filed a opinion in the case, from which the follow- ing extracts are taken: v pportionment act of February braska is entitled to six representa- tives in congress after the 3d of March, 1803, In an action to compel the governor to call an election for three additional members of congress, to fill a vacancy caused by the waut of representation in the present con- gress, held: That the question a politi- cal and not a judicial one; that by reason of improved methods the census was more rapidly taken and the returns classified than formerly, so that the population of each state known a few months after the enumeration was made, and that to deprive those states entitled to increased representa tion for two years was unjust, but congress must provide the remedy. “The petitioner has accompanied his ap- plication with an elaborate printed ary ment in vhich he contends with that as a matter and has been since February 7, 1891, to six representatives in congress. tice of this claim will not nied, but can this court correct the wrong? We think not. 4 “It will be seen that the apportionment of representatives among the several states af- ter the taking of each decennial census is made by congress upon some fixed rule or ratio which applies equally to all the states. The apportionment is, so far as appears, fair, and the only complaint is that it should take effect in 1891 ins| d of 1803. There is much force in the objection tnat the states titled to increased representation are thery deprived of the same for 2 question, however, is political Judicial, and it is difficult 1o pe n what way the courts can remedy that defect. With the present improved modes of taking the census and classifying the returns, the population of each state can be ascertained withiu a few months after the actual enu- meration, so that the apportionment n be made in December or January following the taking of the census. 1t would seem but Justice that this should take effect in the succeeding congress, and we may confidently trust to that spirit of fairness so chara istic of the American people to rrect the wrong. The courts, however, > 1o au- thority to declare that a greater number of representatives shall be elected and ad- mitted to congress than the statutes specify, and the writ must be denied and the action dismissed.” be * rather than v KILLED. —is KAILROAD ME Peculiar Accldent it Which Were Lost., Farco, N.
