The resolution for the holiday adjournment to begin tomorrow was agreed to early in the afternoon At least twenty members climbed into the area in front of the speaker's rostrum today in an effort to secure the unani mous consent of bills of loc: Mr. English of Jersey, who has in- augurated a war of retaliation against unani- mous consent legislation until a measure of his (s passed, was on guard and He relented in two insta however, He allowed a joint oftered by Mr. Livingston of Georgla, to go through, pro viding for the entrance of forelgn exhiblts to the Cotton States International exposition held at Atlanta next year. his bill, I understand, involves the mission of contract labor,” suggested Mr. Wilgon, republican of Washington, humor- ously, ‘when the resolution was read. I want to remind the gentleman that but short time ago the country was in a furore over the almission cf a single coachman, Does this bill provide for the admission of an English coachman? “It does not,” replied Mr. Livingston, amid laughter. Mr. English also allowed a senate bill amending the act creating the court of ap- peals of the District of Columbia to pass. Mr. De Armond, democrat of Missouri, ob Jected to the bill offered by Mr. Coombs, dem- ocrat of New York, granting a pension of $100 a month to the ‘widow of the late Major General Abner Doubleday. Mr. English finally demanded order. The joint resolution holiday recess from Saturday, December to Thursday, January 3, was then adopted. TOOK UP THE CURRENCY BILL. lhe house then, on Mr. Springer's motion, went into committee of the whole for the further consideration of the currency bill, Mr. Wilson of West Virginia was recog- nized by the chairman. Before he could pro- ceed Mr. Johnson, republican of Indiana, arose for the purpose, as he stated, of pro- pounding an inquiry to the chairman of the banking committee (Mr. Springer). “I understand,” said he, “that at a mest- Ing of the demccratic members of the com- mittee last night it was decided to order a substitute to the pending measure, and that the consent of the sccretary was obtained. Is my information correct? If so I suggest that the substitute now be offered in order that we can proceed intelligently.” “Some time during the afternoon,” replied Mr. Springer admitting that the change of bills had been agreed upon, “I will say it 1s my Intention to introduce a substitnte for the pending bill.” Mr. Springer, however, denicd that the “consent” of the sccretary of the treasury had been asked for or cbtained. The demo- cratic members of the committes, he de clared, were responsible for the substitute. He invelghed against the disposition mani- fested cn the republican side to oppose any- thing In the shape of financial legislation pro- posed from the democratic side, and h pealed to his party opponents to patri join In the perfecting of a measure would relieve the treasury and inur wellare of the country. He declared, with an emphasis that provoked a howl of de- rislon from the republican side, that at this time the republican party “stood by supinely flat upon its back,” while the democratic party was trylng to save the country, Mr. Russell, republican of Connecticut, fol- lowed with an argument in opposition to a measure which proposed, he said, to destroy a national banking system that had stood the test of thirty year ONE CHANCE TO SUPPORT CLEVELAND Mr. Sickles of New York created consid- erable amugement at the outset of his speech by saying that he very much desired be- fore retiring from congress to put on record & vote or two In favor of the policy of the administration. He desired tc support this DIl There were some good features in it, and he would like to see it perfected in order that he could glve a cheerful vote for a bill intended to relieve the financial embarrass- ments of the coun'ry. Two evils threat- ened the country. Wirst, a serious drain of gold from the treasury as a result of the outstanding legal tenders. In this bill he found no remedy for this alarming menace. This fact constituted his first criticism of the Dbill. It was In this respect inadequate. The government paper was In reality a govern- ment debt which ought to be funded. Lot us return, sald Mr. Sickles, to the sound prin- ciples of (he days before the war, Let us adopt the McCollough plan, sald he, of fund- ing the greenbacks. “Did not the democrats demption of the greenbacks?” interposed Mr. Walker of Massachusetts. “The retirement of the greenbacks, it is my recollection,” interrupted Mr. Warner of New York, “was prevented by the Sherman proviso.” “I nover heard of any bank fenture of our financial system that was not charged to John Sherman,” retorted Mr. Walker. “Nor I, either,” replied Mr. Wa “The difficulty’ with the financial policy of the republican party since the war has always been the oppesition of the democrats,” said Mr. Walker, ‘“They compelled compromises, That |s the trouble today. They have stolen some of the features of my bill, but by their bungling they have made it worse than the present system.' Mr. Sickles, in whose time the above col- lequy had been proceeding, at this point took a hand. So high, he said, was his estimate of John Sherman, whom he regarded as tho guilding financlal lght in this country, that he feli sure he would vote for a measure to fund tho greenbacks “How many democrati nish o fund the gre Walker ool York. you furnish a third," re “‘we will pass such a bill,” Sickles expressed the belief that if an effort were made in the right spirit on both sldes & bill to fund the greenbacks would pass. He at least would vote for it “We can always depend on General Sickles for patriotie aetion, cn the battlefield the floor of this house,” sald Mr. The members on the floor and the sy In the galleries applauded and the bowed his acknowledgements. At the conclusion of Mr. Sickles' Mr. McLaurin of South Carolina floor in opposition to the bill, id, was in no wise a demoeratic and which he charactetized as a stalking horse for Wall strest. He declared this bill recognized the subtreasury plan of the third party. It had been stolen by the for their own ends. EPRINGER AMENDMENTS PRESENTED. Mr. Rawiins of Utah oppesed the bill in a brief speech.

LETTHE TRUSTS FIGHT IT OUT Novel Plan Proposad for the ettlement of the German Complication, MR, WILSON ON THE GERMAN EMBARGO “With the Meai Trast Arrayed Against the Sugar Trust the People May Securo Some Consideration”—No for spe Vg ial Legislation. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—Chalrman Wil- son of the ways and means committee says no consideration has yet been given to further tarift legislation which would overcome the disagreements between this country and Ger. many, France and Austria as a result of the differential duty on the sugars of those coun- tries After the ambassador had made a vigorous protest against the dut Germany closed her ports against American meat products. Denmark followed suit, and a general commerclal warfare between the United States and sugar producing countries has seemed imminent. Under these circum- stances it was belleved that congress would take off the differential duty and thus re- store commercial harmony. Mr. Wilson says, however, that any steps in that direction must be taken by the sen- ate, where the house bill for free sugar ls now pending with amendments, The senate finance committee, in reporting back the free sugar bill, struck out the entire text of the house bill and inserted a 40 per cent ad- valorem duty on sugars. No reference was made to the differential duty of 1-10 of 1 cent against countries paying an export duty on fugars, so that the tax mentioned is said to have the effect of repealing the differen- tial. The subject is therefore really to be taken up whenever the senate considers the free sugar bil, and Mr. Wilson does not con- slder it necessary to get up an independent measure dealing with the differential against foreign countries. Mr. George Davis of Chicago, who is here to urge the repeal of the differential in order that German ports may be recpened to Ameri- can meats, hias not yet conferred with Chair- man Wilson or any members of the ways and means committee. Mr. Wilson does not ap- pear to be greatly impressed by the effort to have the embargo removed on American meats, “When German we have the meat trust arrayed he said, “‘there is hope that the people may secure some con- sideration.” HOK SMITH DISSENTS, Caunot Concur with Lamoroux's Views on T Land Forteiture Bill. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—The adverse re- ports of the secretary of the interior to the passage of the general forfeiture bill, house bill 8097, are given in a communication for- warded to Representative Ellis, transmitting the report of the commissioner of the general land office recommending the passage of the biil. Secretary Smith does not concur with Commissioner” Lanoreux’s views. The third section of the act of September 29, 1890, he says, provides for the right of purchase of lands within the forfeited limits by two classes of person: These are citizens of the United States, and those who have declared their intention to become citizens who possess the forfeited lands under deed, written con- tract with license from the state or corpor. tion to which such grant was made, or its assignee have exccuted before January 1, 1888 and persons who settle on the lands with a bonafide intention to secure title by pur- chase from the state or corporation when carned by compliance with the requirements of the granting act. i “The department,” says the secretary, “las held as to the first clafs that merely ocu- pancy and improvement of the land is sufi- cient to entitlo the person topurchase, Their right depends on ' deed, written contract or license from the company under which they could Tequire the company to specifically per- form their contract whenever the lands were carned. As {o the second efass, the right of purchase depends solely on the settlement made on the land and without any contract or license that could be enforced against the country.

Report of the ological Sa posits Recently Discovered. WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—The examina- tion of the phosphate deposits of Tennesses made by the gological survey through its agent, Dr. C. W. Hayes, has been completed. The black phosphate, according to Dr. Hayes, has been found for over a year, and during the past five months between 30,000 and 40,000 tons of high grade rdck have been shipped from that country. More recently whits phosphate has boen discovered in Perry county, very similar to some of the florid rock, ~ These deposits were examined and at first were thought to be of consider- able commercial importance. Thers are two varicties, abbrecia or conglomerate formed of flint fragments, and a bedded de- posit. This latter Is from thirty to fifty feet thick and covers an area about three miles long by a mile broad. The first be- lief of the great valus of the deposits is not confirmed by the investigation, but the phos- phate Is expected to open’ out better in these fields after the work has progressed further, D.

Congregational club celebrated Fore- &' day with a banquet at the Commer- club rooms last evening, belng lald for 100 guests. The tables were admir- | ably arranged and trimmed, the menu simple and redolent with New England and well served. Dr. S, Wright Butler, president of the club, extended a welcome to the guests of the evening. He explained the absence of Hon. John M. Thurston, who was to have been one of the speakers of the evening, and at his request letters of regret were read from Governor Crounse, Governor-elect Holcomb and Congressman Bryan. He then Introduced Mr. Jules Lumbard, who had been invited to sing Mrs, Hemans' well known hymn, “The Breaking Waves Dashed High." Mr. Lum- bard gave his reasons for feeling that the sublime sentiments expressed by Mrs, He- mans could not be sot to music and still re- tain their beauty. He begged leave, there- fore, to recite the lines instead of singing them, he did 80 in a most impressive manner. guests around the tables were still unsatisfied, and therefore Mr. Lumbard sang his favorite, “Sae, Are Ye Slecping, Maggie?” President clal covers memories Butler then introduced Bishop John P. Newman, who was received most warmly. After paying his compliments to the Congregational club, its president and its invited guests, Bishop Newman spoke of the illness of Dr. Duryea and expressed the hope that he would soon be restored to the full measure of his health, He alluded to the absent speaker, Hon. John M. Thurston, by saymg that he deeply regretted the absence from the festal board of Nebraska's next United States senator. His remark was greeted with applause. He felt confident that the strong, sturdy legislature would very auickly do its full duty by electing the dis- tinguished citizen of Omaha to the high placo in the senate. In alluding to the more direct purposes of the evening's entertainment the bishop said in part: “It is an interesting thing to study the reversals of the verdicts of history. By such study we find the martyr of today the prophet of tomorrow. This we cannot aseribe to the fickleness of human nature but to the profounder appreciation of hu- manity. As an instance of this reversal of the verdicts of history it may be cited that ten years ago the name of Napoleon was cast out. Public men on both sides of the great water united in pouring out vials of wrath upon the soldier of Corsica. They denounced him and pronounced him insane, a butcher, a violator of all the rights of man. Strange as it is, there has within the past year come a revival of poleonia. The great magazines of the old and new worlds teem with the articles singing the greatness of this soldier. 1 ask myself, what is behind this? 1Is God Al- mighty preparing a deluge of blood? We are students of history and Providence ever prepares us for new events by recalling to us the old. Is the century to end in a burst of war? This is the question I ask myself in_dreams by night and in visions by day. Europe Is an armed camp. Never before in the history of the world were so many armed men in waiting. There is some mysterious purpose behind this marked revival ‘of Napoleonic literature in eulogy of this strange genius, this man raised up scemingly for a purpose, and whose hour of death on the lonely isle girt round with sea was one of terror to himself and of ter- ror to Europe. “If you would ask me today what is the fate of our republic, 1 would answer you that the fate of republics has ever been empire.. As students of history we realize that empire has been the fate of all the great republics of the world. Israel, that enjoyed a republican form of government for 500 years, heard at last the cry on the everlasting hills of Mizpah: ‘God save King Saul and the empire.’ It was so with Rome in the palmiest days of her history as a republic. A soldier crossed the Rubi- con and the banners of Caesar were furled on the walls of the republic and waved on the empire. The question with us s whether we can prevent our own republic from mecting the fate of the republics of history. We can only prevent it by an adherence to the principles of the Pilgrim fathers, those principles from which sprang the republic.” Murderer Claims to Havo Beon Hypnotizod.
