PARTNERSHIP 1S DISSOLVED Champ Olark Tells His fonthern Associates He is Through with Them, HOT DEBATE OVER A PENSION BILL Northern Demoerats Bog Their Southern Confreres to Cease Antagonizing Such Measures—Responsible for Purty Defent, WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. vate pension day in the house, but only one bill was considered—a claim of the heirs of Willlam Johnson of Fayeite county, Tennes- wee, fir $13,000 worth of stores confiscated during the war. Thres hours were consumed | in debate, but on account of the opposition | the bill was finally withdrawn, Before the | regular order was demanded, nine bills were | passed by unanimous consent. Most of them | were cf minor importance, The most im- portant was to amend the shipping act of August 19, 1890, 80 as to eliminate some of | the penal provisions of that act which had proved unduly harsh in their appiication to seamen cn hoard vessels engaged in tho twiso and nearby forefgn trade. An- othor bill was passed to protect the salmon fisheries of Alaska. On motion of Mr. Sickles, democrat of New York, by unanimous consent the senate bill was passed to pay the widow of Orsemus P, | Boyd, late captain of the Bighth United | States cavalry, commutation for rations and accrued back pay earned during his volunteer service, On motion of Mr. Hall, democrat of Mis- eourl, a bill was passed authorizing the La Porte, Horton & Northwestern rallroad com- pany to construct a bridge across Galveston bay, Buffalo Bayou aod Clear creck, in the state of Texas. On motion of Mr. Terry, democrat of Ar- Kansas, a bill was passed authorizing the Little Rock & Pacific to construct a brid across the Fourche Lefourque and Le Peti Jean rivers in Arkansas. The senate amendments o the bill for the relief of Peter Hager were concurred in on motion of Mr. Bingham, republican of Penn- sylvania On motion of Mr. Wheeler, democrat of Alabama, a bill was passed authorizing the construction of a bridge across the Tennessee river at Sheflield, Ala. A bill to repeal the act of August 19, 1890, relating to shipping commisioners, was then considered. Mr. Dingley, republican of Maine, offered a substitute for the origi bill_amending instead of repealing the act of 1890, s0 as to place crews shipped for constwise trade or nearby foreign trade (Canada, West Indies and Mexico) practi- cally under the provisions of the old ship- ping acts of 1873, but repealing certain sec- tions of the act of 1890, which was passed. On motion of Mr. Fithian, democrat of Tllinols, a bill was passed to protect salmon fisheries of Alaska, and then on motion of Mr. Enloe, chairman committee of claims, toady being Friday, the house went into com- mitteo of the whole to consider bills on the private calendar. SOUTHERNERS IN GRANT'S ARMY, The first bill called up was to pay Wil- liam Johnson, administrator of Thomas 1. Johnson, deceased, of Fayette county, Ten- nessee, $13,000, the amount found to be due him by the court of claims for stores confls- cated during the war. This bill led to a long debate on the justice of southern war claims, which finally drifted into a discussion of the number of loyal persous in the south during the war. General Wheeler of Alabama attempted to show that cver 700,000 men (negroes and whites) from the confederate states entered the union army. Mr. Grosvencr doubted If there were (ex- clusive of negroes) 5,000 men in the northern army from the states in rebellion, Mr. Cockrell of Texas opposed the payment of all southern war claims, On_account of the opposition manifested, Mr. Enloe finally withdrew the bill. With. out acting on any bill, the committes arose. At 4 o'clock the house took a recess until 8 o'clack, the evening to be devoted to pri- vato pension_bills. PARALYZED M'CLERNAND'S FRIENDS. The feature cf the night session of the house was the debate which grew out of the attempt of Mr. Springer of llinois to pass a bill granting $100 a month to Major Gen- eral John A. McClernand. Mr, Jones of Vir- ginia insisted upon making the point of no querum. Mr. Springer in a heated speech Jectured those of his southern democratic colleagues who constantly assumed an atti- tude of hostility toward the pensioning of union soldiers. " He called attention to the fact that but thirteen democrats had been returned to the next house from the north. He warned them that if their course was persisted in none would be returned to the Bucceeding congress. Mr. Pence of Colorado, in an earnest spcech, appealing to Mr. Jones to withdraw his point, spoke of the well known, distin- guishod, patriotic services of General McCler- nand, when Mr. Waugh of Indiana threw a bombshell into the discussion by asking if the beneficlary of this bill was not the same Genoral John A. McClernand who was re- lieved from command before Vicksburg by General Grant for unsoldierly conduct, and of whom General Halleck sald It was pre- meditated murder to place him in command. The: attack on General McClernand came from an unexpected source, and Mr. Marsh of dilinois and others hastened to his defense. Mr. Marsh declared hotly that General M- Clernand had never been guilty of unsol- dierly conduct and the history of the trans- action would show that he had not been re- moved by General Grant for that reason. “Did not General Grant remove him for causes which he deemed proper?” persisted Mr. Waugh, “I do not desire to Impugn the character of General Grant,” replied Mr. Marsh sharply, “but I desire to say that his action in this case was a mistake.” ‘What reason did General Grant assign?" interrupted Mr. Cox of Tennessee. *‘Was it not beciuse he was too quick at Vicksburg?” “I never heard It charged against Grant,” seplied Mr. Marsh, “that he criticized a sol- dier for going In too quick.” (Applause.) Tho discussion was prolonged for more than an hour and was marked by several sensational scenes, one of which was the hiss- Ang of Mr. Jones when he said that the widow of General John A. Logan, who recelved a msion of §2,000 a year, was lving In soclal uxury In this city and annually spent more than her pension mouey for flowers displayed by her at soclal functions. Later on, when he proclaimed his pride in the confederate caus that had goue down in defeat, the republicat in chorus sbouted: *“We bave no doubt of it and in the galleries many of the spectators applauded vigorously. CHAMP CLARK'S DEFIANCE. Mr. Springer was finally forced to with- @raw tho bill. But even after the bill had been wilhdrawn, Champ Clark of Missour! got the floor, and, In a characteristie speech, scored Mr. Jones roundly, as he said, on be. halt of bis democratic colleagues of the north He begen by saying that the democratic party presented a dissolving view and wonld ¥oon be lost to sight, though to memory dear, He attributed much democratic disaster last £:ll to the course of southern democrats on the pension question and charged the defeat of at least five northern democrats to the speeches of Mr. Jones. He then paid a mag- alficent tribute to General McClernand. “I saw him preside at the St. Louis con veution,” he said, “which nominated Samuel . Tilden, who was elected president of the United States and whom the cowards on this floor allowed to bo swindled out of his seat.

The nomination was sent to the senate this afternoon. Lieutenant Colonel Winthrop 1s made colonel and assistant judge advocate general. Major Bdward Hunter is made lieu- tenant colonel and deputy judge advocate general, Major Crowder, who has been acting judge | advocate with the rank of captain since 1891, with headquarters in the Department of the Platte, was born in Missourl and was ap- pointed to West Point from that state. He graduated in 1881 and was commissioned sec- ond licutenant of the Bighth cavalry. In 1881 he was promoted to first lieutenant which rank he held until 1891, when he was sent to Omatia By the promotion of Captain Enoch H. Crowder to be major and judge advocate Senior Second Lieutenant Alonzo Gray, Sixth cavalry, will be promoted to be first lieuten- ant in the Bighth cavalry. The vacancy in the grade of second lieutenant will be filled by selection from the graduates of West Point next sprifig. The commission of Lieu- nant Gray will not be made out until Cap- tain Crowder’s promotion has been confirmed by the senate. Lieutenant Gray is now sta- eyer, Va., just opposite the city of Washington. It is not known whether or not the promo- tion of Captaln Crowder will necessitate his coming to the War department for duty here, but it is quite probable that he will be ordered to Washington. motion. When news reached army headquarters that Captain Crowder had been promoted to the rank of major and to a high place in the judge advocate corps he was made the reciplent of many expressions of congratula- tio From the time the captain received his commission in the army he applied himselt to the study of law and early in the 80s was admitted to the bar. He has pursued his chosen vocation continually since and his opinfons as now on record in the War department have made for him an enviable reputation. The captain’s promotion is at- tributed to the record thus made and is regarded by his friends as a fitting reward of individfial merit and industry. General Brooke, commander of the depart- ment, took a deep interest in the captain’s candidacy and did all in his power to promote it. It is understood that the general will request the secretary of war to detail Major Crowder to duty In this department for the present year and it is not likely that the major will report at Washington until the expiration of such detail. FENATE G THE INFORMATION, Correspondence In the Ezeta Case For- warded to that Body. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Responding to a resolution of the senate, the president has sent to that body a complete copy of the ex- tradition proceedings of General Ezeta, late vice president of Salvador, and other refugees who were granted asylum on board the Ben- nington. The record is very voluminous. It appears from the correspondence that the authorities of the new government of Sal- vador made strenuous efforts to have Ezeta and his companions surrendered to them, both immediately after they took refuge on board the Bennington and after his discharge at San Francisco, on the ground that he was a_common criminal, but this demand was re- sisted in both instances. There are tele- grams from brothers of Ezeta, representing that his surrender was sure to be followed by his execution. Much of the correspondence is of a technical legal character. Among other documents enclosed is one from Jacinto Costellanos, Salvadorean minister of forelgn affairs, dated October 9, after the discharge of Ezeta, giving notice of the desire of his government for the termination of the extra- dition treaty between that country and this at the end of the period for which it Is now in force and suggesting its speedy termina- tion by special convention. In reply to this Secretary Gresham calls attentlon to the fact that the existing treaty does not expire until 1900, and he says this government sees no reason for terminating it at an carlier date. Indemnity for Crawford’s Leath, WASHINGTON, Jan. 1L—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—Senator Manderson today reported favorably to the senate a bill providing for the payment of 5,000 to T. Crawford of Kearney, brother of Emmet Crawford, who was killed by Mexican soldiers while com- manding the United States forces in pursuit of Geronimo and his hostile band. During the last session of congress Con- gressman Melklejohn secured the passage of a bill extending untll 1897 the time of pay- ments of the purchase money due for land sold on the Omaha Indian reservation, pro- vided ‘the congent of the Indians was ob- tained for such extension. The consent of the councll of Indians was obtained, but Congressman Meiklejohn today received a communication from Commissioner of Indian Affairs Browning informing him that this censent, which had been obtained, is con- sldered’ by ‘the office as too informal, and that it will be necessary to get the formal consent of the Indians to the extension by having three-fourths of the male adults of the tribe in favor of the extension., The commissioner informs Mr. Meiklejohn that Captain Beck, the agent, has been instruct- ed to immedfately submit the question to the Indians at the next council, In compliance with the request of Senator Manderson, the Postoffice department will arrange for the re-establishment of the postoftice at Sherldan, Neb, Tenncssoe Centennial Exposition. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Members of the Tennessee Centennial exposition made speeches to the house committee on appro- priations today, asking for a government exhibit for the exposition in 18%. Director General Major Willis of Nashville gave statement of the scope and purposes of the exposition, and spoke of the educational value of an exhibit from the Smithsonian government departments. General Hender- son of Knoxville, vice president of the com- mission; Colonel "Killebec of Nashville, Oyerton of Memphis and Major an of Nashville also spoke.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1l.—According to a report to the State department from United States Consul General Max Judd at Vienna, the European paper mills are suffering from an overproduction. Although definite plans wera not decided upon, the general opinjon was that the best way to regulate the p duotion was to close the factories on Sun- days and to form a syndicate for the sule of "the paper.

Mr. Hill delivered a long and carefully prepared speech in sup- port of his amendment. Mr, Dubois of Idaho followed in support of the appropriation to make the law operative, but soon drifted into a discussion of the silver question, in which he said that no currency bill could pass that was not liberal toward silver. Mr. Quay supported Mr. Hill's amendment and said it would be the duty of the next republican congress to repeal the law. Messrs. Sherman of Ohio and Mitchell of Oregon thought the appropriation should be made. Before ad- Journment Mr. Morgan of Alabama raised and the chair sustained a point of order against the amendment, from which Mr. Hill appealed, and action on this will be had to- morrow, On motion of Mr. Butler, democrat of South Carolina, the senate agreed to a reso- lution asking the secretary of war to submit an estimate of the cost of improvements of Port Royal, 8. C., including a channel of thirty feet at high’ water. On motion of Mr. Cockrell, democrat of Missourl, the senate then took up the urgency deficiency bill, and Mr. Hill, democrat of New York, spoke in behalf of his own amend- ment to the bill to allow an opportunity to test its constitutionality. Before proceeding With his speech Mr. Hill made statements regarding the remark in the speech of Mr. Peffer yesterday bearing on his (Hill's) op- position to the law. Mr. Hill was under the impression that Mr, Peffer had charged him with filibustering, and said that he knew nothing that had taken place since he was a member of the senate that justified the senator from Kansas in charging that this Dill was to meet with any filibustering so far as he (Hill) was concerned, Mr. Peffer declared that he had not used the word filibustering since he had been a member of the senate. He had said the sen- tor from New York and the senator from Pennsylvania (Quay) had made up their minds to defeat the collection of the income tax it in their.power to do so, and that the amendment proposed by the members was the first step in that proceeding. DENIED ITS CONSTITUTIONALITY. Mr. Hill first argued against the consti- tutionality of the law, and referring to the exemption of classes, he asked whether con- £ress had a right to exempt a class. He did not ask that the law be repealed at this se slon of congress. He recognized that as im- possible; nor did he ask its repeal hecause it was not apportioned according to the last census, He attacked the regulations of the treasury for the collection of the tax and said he was compelled to protest against the treasury interpretation of the law and the in- terjection therein of instrumentalities not con- templated by the semate. He was within bounds when he characteized the future of the pending bill relating to the income tax as a slipshod arrangement; under it the citi- zens had no protection. Another serious ambiguity in the law was What assessment or whose assessment is to be final? Is the taxpayer to have any ap- peal or the commissioner? There was noth- ing in any section of the income tax law of 1894 that authorized a suit against the tax collector or any one else to recover back taxes illegally exacted. This, he asserted, was one of the most important questions in this decision. He asked where, in the pres- ent law, was there any power given to the commissioner of internal revenue or to any other officer to return taxes erroneously col- lected. Mr. Hill spoke of how hard it would be to maintain a law to which the legal pro- fession was opposed, and of how the money involved would be enlisted in the service of the lobbyists and the lawyers at both ends of Pennsylvania avenue. It was the duty of the senate to remove the ambiguities in the law while the matter was before it. It the ambiguities were not removed it was reasonably certain the experiences connected With the direct taxes of the war period and its refund would be repeated. Taxpayers would besiege the treasury, the court of claims and congress for a refund of the tax., The senator also questioned the right of congress, under the constitution, to tax the income from notes, bonds or other securi- ties {ssued by states or minor divigions of states, The income tax was not for secur- ing revenue only, but to harass and worry, and he asked, “‘Shall the inquisitorial forms proposed by the Treasury department be toler- ated by congress? The great mewspapers of New York City were organized as corpora- tions under the New York laws, and must return their annual profits and pay 2 per cent thereon." NO HOPE FOR REPEAL. Why, the senator asked, could not the goy- ernment be content with a plain, trustworthy statement of the annual net profit of the en- terprises. Many of the questions put for- ward In the treasury regulations had no war- rant in the law unless the law empowered the department to put any question it pleased. Many of the questions were absurdly inquisi- torial. He had no expectation that this con- gress would repeal the Jaw now. An ap- propriation was wanted to carry it out. He conceded the general rule to be that there ought to be an appropriation to carry out existing laws. He had always been a be- llever in that doctrine. The question had been suggested whether this appropriation was taken out of the ordinary rule, The statute had never been enforced. It existed in the statutes, it was true, but for all prac- tical purposes and effect -the law was just going on the statute books. It was insisted on as the price of.legislation and as a condi- tion why senators would support it. Mr. Hill reminded the senate he had said the Income tax proposition had been placed In the bill to suit certain senators, certain members of congress—not to carry out a single democratic doctrine. It had never been declared to be a democratic doctrine by any naticnal convention of the party. Mr. Hill then referred to the remarks of Mr. Oockrell when he alluded to the fact that the candidate of the last New York democratic state convention was defeated. He (Hill) would point out to the senator the fact of the same disapproval of the incom tax. The senator from Missouri had fo gotten to mention that in his state the democratic convention favored the income tax. He did not think any democrat found much consolation In referring to the result of the election In Missouri, New York, or any other state. “We must walt untll the clouds roll by, he said, “and I suppose in some future time the prospects of the party will revive.” Mr. Hill said the election was a condemna- tlon of the income tax, a condemnation of the Wilson-Gorman-Brice-Smith bill, or what- ever bill It was—a condemnation of our legislation of last summer, and he thought the less said at this particular time the better. Further, Mr. Hill referred to the state ment of Mr. Cleveland in his famous Wilson letter,” in which he told the coun- try how he @eprecated the income tax, and he (Hil) did not think it probable the presi- dent would disapprove of its repeal if con- gress should see fit to repeal it. DRIFTED INTO A SILVER SPEECH When Mr. Hill concluded, Mr. Dubois of Idaho began a speech on the income tax, but drifted into silver and it was taken to state the position of the silver men in the senate on the ourrency question. As to the Income tax, he said it should either be enforced or wiped out. Speaking more par- ticularly of the currency problem, he said Taking the statements of both sides of the controversy, the conclusions would seem to be that income tax or no income tax, ther Is tc be no permanent prosperity and no relief from the distress which the country is in so long as the present laws remain unchinged. The silver senators, so-calied insisted all through the debate over the re. peal of the Sherman act that unless other financiul legislation took the place of th Sherman act dire distress would come to the | country.

Tho longbr we walt the worse off the country gets. “It does not take much of a financier nor an adept in figures to arrive at the conclusion that you cannot pay $1,143,150,830 with $100, 000,000. Of course T do not admit, in fact, T insist the government is under no obligation to redeem this volume of paper money with gold, but the administration has insisted and still‘insists that, no matter what sort of note or what is written on it, it must be paid in gold, if its owner demands gold. There have been two bond issues of $50,000,000 each. Geld has been withdrawn from the banks to buy these bonds. As soon as the gold reached the treasury it commenced to dwindle away, being exchanged for these various paper notes, which were presented for payment. This process can and will go on just as long as the government issues bonds and redeems its paper with gold. The only result is to burden the people with an increasing interest- bearing debt. ONLY ADDS TO COMPLICATIONS. “‘Any scheme which proposes to enlarge the currency without broadening the basis of money of ultimate redemption will certainly add to our complications. That has been the chief fault with all bills for the reformation of our currency system which have been formulated up to this time during this session of congress. I sincerely think four-fifths of the members of this body conscientiously be- lieve there will be no permanent prosperity in this country until the basis of our currency is broadened. I believe they will be glad to witness the return to the free and unlimited colnage of silver, as well as gold. A great many senators on this floor—I think a major- ity—are fully convinced there can be no sub- stantial relief without the unlimited colnage of silver, and it is my opinion no financial measure will pass the senate during this or the next congress, at any rate, which does noi fully recognize silver. Until t¥e foily of makeshift legislation, enacted only to be re- pealed, has been fully demonstrafed, it wers better to continue as we are with the gold standard and all of its necessary and attend- ant evils than to resort to any experiments in that line. We are threatened that if the present currency laws remain unchanged, the country will soon be upon a silver basis. Per- haps this is true. I am somewhat inclined to think it 1s. This prospect, however, has no terrors for the silver advocates. They are contending for both gold and silver, and, if compelled to choose between the two, would greatly prefer silver. This, at any rate, is the position which I would wish to take, and, in doing so, I would be serving the best interests of the entire country, In my judg- ment," Mr. Quay of Pennsylvania moved to post- pone the further consideration of the bill un- til February 1, It was the duty of congress to exert all its power to prevent the collection of the Income tax. “I believe,” he said, “it is the highest privilege of the minority of this chamber to ‘prevent the carrying out of this, the highest crime of the criminal tariff act placed upon the statute books by the last ses- sion of this discredited congress At the conclusion of Mr. Quay's remarks his motion defeated—1 to 42, Mr. Quay requesting the yea and nay vote and Mr, Hill not. voting. SHERMAN UPHOLDS _APPROPRIATION. Mr. Sherman of Ohjo said he had listened with pleasure to Mr. Hill'’s speech and agreed with him in the main that the income tax was inquisitorial and pojust and that it per haps ought to be repeglad. He did not agree with Mr. Hill, however, in supposing that the amendment offered by him was requisite in order to give a citizen' the right to sue in the courts, if he consifered the tax unjust or unconstitutional. He thought every citi- zen had the unquestionable right to raise the question by a sult at law'fn the courts. «Mr. Sherman argued againkt the right of the sen- ate to originate the question of the collection of taxes. The house of representatives was supreme on that subject. The senate had no moral right to refuse the appropriation. I the law is bad, it is law, and the congress was bound to furnish the money to carry the law Into effect. The best way to reform th law was to enforce it. If the senate failed to | appropriate the money necessary o carry the law Into effect it failed to do s duty. It was | @ violatlon of the constitution to attempt to change the recent tariff. There was no Justi- fication in withholding the appropristion | such a course was destructive of forms of | legislation | Mr. Hill, in reply to Mr. Sherman, stated he could not agree with him In the contention denying the right of the senate to act or! &l nally on the question Mr. Mitchell of Oregon sald there ought | ing bill ought to be made, and, second, the amendment offered by the senator from New. York ought to be adopted. The discussion was further participated in by Messrs. Allison and White. At this point Mr. Morgan of Alabama raised a point of order against the amendment, holding that it was general legislation on a general appro- priation bill, and the chair so ruled. Mr. Hill appealed from the decision of the chair, and on this appeal he addressed the senate, holding that the amendment was proper and that he wanted to take the judgment of the full senate on the matter tomorrow. Before Mr. Hill spoke on the appeal Mr. McPherson of New Jersey introduced a bill on the currency question, which Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island asked to have read in full. Objection was made and Mr. McPherson with- drew the bill. Later leave was giyen to print the bill in the record and also the bill pre- slcnlsxl by Mr. Vest today on the same ques- tion. The senate then, at 5:10 p. m., went into executive session, and at 5:20 p. m. adjourned. WILL THERE BE AN EXTRA SESSION? Emphatic Denlals from the Democrats of the Honse and Senate. ‘WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—Emphatic denial is made by all the democratic members of the house committee on rules of reports which have been current that President Cleveland had authorized one of them to make it known that an extra session of congress would be called if currency legislation was not ef- fected by the present congres; Speaker Crisp, the senior member of the rules com- mittee said: “There is no truth in the re- port that the president has authorized such a statement, nor has he given any intimation, as far as I know, that an extra session would be called. Mr. Catchings, another member of the rules committee, said: ““The report is untrue, o far as I am concerned. I have not seen the president, and have heard nothing from him on the subject of an extra session. Representative Outhwaite, the remaining democratic member of the,rules committee, said: “T have not seen the president, except in the crowd at the reception last night, and I have not the remotest intimation from him or any one else that an extra session will be called.” Chairman Springer, of the banking and eur- rency committee, said: “The president has not directly, nor indirectly, stated or inti- mated that he was even considering the ques- tlon of an extra session. The report is based entirely on current gossip.” Mr. Hall of Missourl and Mr. Strauss of New York denied any knowledge of such an intention on the part of the president.

WILL FORM A FOURTH, Bimetallists Agreed that the Three Exist- Ing Parties Are Equally Useless to Them. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—General Warner, president of the Bimetallic league, admitted that a conference of leading bimetallists from different parts of the country had been held in this city recently, In this connection, he said: “It was the decision of the confer- ence that a strong and growing sentiment is manifesting itself in favor of uniting the friends of bimetallism in a bimetallic party, and to appeal directly to the people on the money ssues alone. The consideration Wwhich seems to be leading to this result is the widespread conviction that there s no means of restoring the bimetallic standard through the republican party, nor through the democratic party as that party is now con- trolled. And, on the other hand, that It is cqually impossible to accomplish ‘this result within the lines of the populist party, or to unite on the Omaha platform those in favor of restoring the bimetallic standard as it wi before 1873 and on government control of the money Clalm American Clover Sced 1s impure, WASHINGTON, Jan. 1L—United Stat Consul Campbell at Newcastle, England, has called the attention of the State depart- ment to a notice published in a newspaper in that city purporting to be the re an inquiry by the Ontarlo agricultural sta- tion into” the quality of American_clover The article states that the seed Is the most impure in the market, containing no less than 9 per cent of weéd seed—mainly sorrel.
