All of the appropriation bills by constitu tional must originate in the * Touse of representatives. The house commit- tee on appropriations has not yet reported the agricultural, deficlency, legislative, or mavy bills, Each one of thess important measures will require time for discussion In the house after they are reported, and a great deal of Alibustering and other par- Tiamentary methods of obstruction may be indulged In by members who are inimical to certain provisions of the bills when they are reported, placed cn the calendar, and taken up for leration. The only regu- lar appropriation bill which has passed both houses of congress and become a law s the military academy bill, which is one of the smallest and, comparatively, of the least fmportance. The army appropriation bill has passed the house, has been considersd by the senate committee on appropriations, and is mow on the senate calendar, but has been sidetracked by the discussion of the Income tax appropriation bill, the Nicaragua canal Dbill and a number of smaller measure The fortifications appropriation bill is on the senate calendar, and so is the pension ap- propriation bill, but none of these measures have been pressed for consideration by Sen- ator Cockrell of Missourl, the chairman of . the committee on appropriations, because of the general desire to permit unlimited de- bate upon political measures. The senate committee on appropriations has under _consideration the diplomatic aad con- sular bill, the District of Columbia bill, and the postcflice appropriation bill, but neither one of these measures has been completed for report to the senate so that th chairman can call any one of them up for considera- tion and passago in the senate. The Indian appropriation bill has been re- ported by the committee on Indian affairs in the house, and is now on the calendar of that body, but no effort has been made to demand its consideration, and consequently it may bo late in tho session before that im- NEW Scoteh Tartan Style Dress Ginghams NEW Apron Ginghams...... ......

Democratio National Committeeman Rich- ardson of Iowa today called upon Secretary Carlisle and secured " the issuance of an offi- clal demand for the reslgnation of Collector of Customs Hotchkiss of Des Moines. He also recommended the appointment of a man named Kennedy, who resides in Davenport, and this appointment will probably be made as soon as Collector Hotchkiss' resignation 18 recelved. No charge was filed against Hotchkiss, save that he Is a republican, and a democrat wants the place. Postmaster General Bissell has decided to recall from the senate the nomination of N. A.

L DISCUSSED PACIFIC ROADS. Amendments to the Rellly BIl Urged by the Company, WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The house com- mittee on Pacific roads today considered the Ppropositions for a settlement made recently Dby the representatives of the Union Pacific. Francis L. Stetson was present, using part of the tenor of the talk it seemed Improbable that any radical changes from the plan in tho Rellly minor amend- the discussion vlews of the to * explain company, more fully From the bill will be made, although ments are under conslderation.

The Reilly bill pro- vides that In the event of default of any payment for ninety days the entire debt ma- fures, but an amendment was added making it operative at the option of the treasury. Half an of the secretary hour was con- sumed in debating a proposal that the govern- ment assume the first mortgage of the Unlon Pacific, which, with the application of sinking fund to its payment so far as it will #o. leaves a debt of $20,000,000, It was ar- gued from the company's standpoint that the company will be obliged to pay 6 per Indian appro” the made a large contribution to the campaign. As @ general proposition it is undoubtedly truo that congress has inquire as to contributions made by a cor- poration. But the influence on legislation by such contribution is another question. it the action of the senate and of par- ticular senators had been controlled by con- tributions, then the committes had the right to inquire into contribution was of very grave importance. Theso witnesses answered everything up to the question of amount. About this congress had the right to inquire, and these gentle- men should have answered. The contention that the senate committee had no right to inquire, because the contribution appeared to be local, and not national, was declared to be immaterial. It is said to be probable that the defendants will now be surrendered by their bondsmen, plead guilty, and be placed technically in jail, being under the custody of the United Sfates marshal, and that the next procedure will bo to apply to the United States supreme court for a writ of habeas ccrpus. FOREIGN G RAIN PRODUCTION, Acreage and Yleld as Roported to the Agri- cultural Department. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—Statistics of foreign countries for the past year, are given in a report issued by the Agricultural depart- ment. In European Russla the estimated output for 1894 is as folows: Rye, 821,534, 904 bushels; wheat, 282,642,040; oats, 687, 870,308; barley, 186,718,218; buckwheat, 43,- 309,650, The production of Great Britain is es- timated as follows: Wheat area, 1,927,962 acres and productlon 61,037,927 Winchester bushels; barley, 2,005,771 acres and 74,558, 807 bushels; oats, 3,253,401 acres and 139, 732,123 bushels, In France the output was in round num- bers. 343,350,000 bushels of wheat, 76,760,000 of rye, 56,550,000 of barley, and 278,933,000 of oats. The wheat product for the year in Germany aggregated over 126,400,000 bushels; winter spelt, 33,336,000; rye, 326,633,000 spripg bar- ley, '130,000,000; oats, 452,000,000; potatoes, 11,229,704, and meadow hay, 22208509 tons. The Roumanian government estimates the crop of wheat at 43,580,000 bushels; rye, 5,769,000; barley, 16,906,000, and oats, 108,- 101,000. In Italy wheat aggregated almost 123,000,- 000 bushels; oats almost 16,000,000; barley over 8,000,000; maize, 54,163,000, and rye almost 15,000,000 Wheat exports from the Argentine repub- lic for the first seven months of the year aggregated 678,573 tons. In Ontarlo wheat aggregated over 20,500, 000 bushels; barley, 11,300,000; oats, over 72, 000,000; potatoes, 17,000,000, and peas, 14,400,- 000 Winchester bushels, Manitoba produced 17,700,000 Winchester bushels of wheat, 12,200,000 of oats and 19,- 900,000 of potatoes and other root crops. Reports from European agents of the de- partment show that there is a more hope- ful feeling in the grain market of England and that the farmers there are expecting bet- ter prices. In southern England great floods have overrun large expanses of urable lands and have limited the area intended to he not the right to Now it and the amount of the tained in his letter. His first objection is as to what is called the Pullman clause, which is too obviously aimed at Mr. Pull- man to be otherwise construed, but hitting as well every other manufacturer of cars. The vital objection to the clause is a man- is not engaged in inter- and does mnot become so ufacturer of cars state” commerce, engaged whether he sells or lets cars to a carrier who is, and any attempt to bring him within the act must prove abortive and tend to discredit the act generally. On the other hand, Mr. Olney is of the ovinion that every person engaged in operai.ug a car used In interstate commerce ought to come within the act. PREFERS A SPECIAL COMMISSION. It is the attorney general's judgment that the permanent standing commission provided for by the bill for all cases is not only not needed, but would be of less value than a gpecial commission provided for each case as It may arise, as it Is not believed that controversies are likely to occur so often as to bo so serious as to require the establish- ment of the cumbersome and costly ma- chinery provided for by the bill. Once such a commission is established it will never be got rid of. The objection that this commis- sion might be needed for the purposes set forth in section 30, that the conditions of employment subject to the act may be in- vestigated and ascertained, Mr. Olney meets with the suggestion that the interstate com- merce commission, as at present consti- tuted, might, with equal satisfaction, gather the information called for and acting with the commissioner of labor, it might be properly charged by a special act of congress with the duties of mediation and conciliation. Section 8 of the bill, “that arbitration shall be resorted to for the settlement of contro- versies between employers and their em- ployes,” Mr. Olney says ‘“need not bo dis- cussed. The only alternative is industrial wars, and they are as illogical, as brutal and as wasteful as the wars by which fnter- national disputes are often accompanied Assuming arbitration to be both desirable and needful, Mr. Olney conlends that its tribunal should be a special body, organized on fixed principles, with referenco to each part in either caso as it arises, rather than a permancnt body, with permanent jurisdic- tion over all cases. The machinery of- ar- Ditration, he thinks, should mot bo put in motion at the instance of one or more isolated individuals, but only at the Instance of a class, that is, of a whole body of employes performing the same business and of the same grade, in order that all may be repre- sented in the proceedings and all bound by their results, The effect to be given to the enforcement of it Mr. Olney regards as a matter of very great consequence. In the first place, ‘the arbitration tribunal is not Judicial in character, but administrative—it Qoes not pass upon rights, but rules of bus- iness expedients especially. AWARDS SHOULD BE The courts are not adapted to declde questions of rates of wages, of hours of employment and other like matters. To im pose such duties upon them is to load them with functions for which they are not fitted, at the cost of the functions for which they are fitted. The award, therefore, should STABLE, or imprisonment. THe miost to be expected of a submission containing such a term would ba that more or Jess employes, from motives of expediency or of honor, would govern themselves by conditions which they knew had no effective legal sanction. No bill of this nature can be regarded as com. plete which does not anticipate and provide for a condition of things'in which arbitration is a failure, either becatise not resorted to or because not acquiesoed- in, and in which the controversy reaches, a stage of heat and violence causiug or menacing great public mischief. BUSINESS MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED. The Industry this bill deals with is of a public nature, and has often been pronounced 0 by the courts. It Is wise to facilitate the speedy and peaceful settlement of the differ- erices of those engaged in it. But the para- mount duty is to take care it shall go on at all hazards. Grievances are to be redressed, of course, with all the promptuess which their investigation will permit. But in the interim these public interests must uot suffer and the business world is concerned with the least possible interferen The bill, therefore, should contain a section to the’ effect when either before arbitration or after it or without arbitration strife between employes and employers engaged in the bus- iness covered by the bill threatens to alto- gether obstruct or to seriously hinder the transaction of the business, the attorney gen- cral on behalt of the United States may, by proper bill in equity, ask for an injunction restraining such obstruction and hindrance of such business and call for the appointment of recelvers to take charge of the business and property involved until the controversy is settled. co IRMED BY 1 E SENATE.

This was but a brief prelude to a day spent with ap- propriation bills. The pension bill, appropri- ating §141,000,000 was passed, with two im- portant amendments, one making $6 the low- est rato for pension disability, and another repealing the present law cutting oft the pensions of non-residents, It was stated dur- ing the debate that the $6 amendment would increase pension expenditures not exceeding §1,000,000. The Dbill served as a text for severe criticlsm against the administration of the pension cffice. The army appropria- tion bill was considered, but not completed, owing to spirited opposition to the abandon- ment of army posts in the far northwest, Mr. Pugh secured recognition soon after the senate met today to present what he regarded as a solution of the present lack of government revenue. The senator varied the usual custom of introducing a bill by reading the full text of his measure with great deliberation and then commenting on it. The bill provides for the immediate issue of $100,000,000 of treasury notes to meet deficiencies, these notes to be redeemable in coin and to be constantly reissued. It further directed the coinage of the sz lorage and the deposit of silver bullion from American mints, Mr. Hill of New York asked it the senator hed the immediate passage of this bill, “That question,” said Mr. Pugh, *is In line with the New York senator’s treatment of all great public questions and I decline to answer it." Mr. Pugh proceeded to urge the grayity of the present situation. It was such that he was ready to surrender long convictions in r to secure a remedy. “Thus far,” said Mr. Pugh, “senators have stood here and torn down. It is easy to tear down, but it is hard to bulld up. We have torn down until we have nearly torn down the country.” Mr. Pugh begged that the finance commit- tee, in which ho had great confidence, should w Gallinger tock occasion to criticise severely the past utterances of Mr. Cleveland as to the frauds existing in the pension system. The senator said pension examiners were roaming around the country seeking frauds which did not exist. This plan of prying and“doing work should be stopped at once. The pension appropriation bill was taken up and Mr. Palmer, democrat of Illinois, an- swered the criticisms made by Mr. Gallinger against_the pension office. Mr. Hawley, republican af Connecticut, also stated his obfections to the present adminis- tration of the bureau. Mr. Hawley offcred an amendment, making $6 the lowest rate for disabilities, instead of the present ratings of $2 and $4. Mr. Lodge severely arraigned the pension office for delays. Mr. Brice asked what increase in pension expenditures would result from adopting the Hawley amendment. Mr. Gallinger reported $1,000,000 would cer- tainly cover the amount. Mr. Peffer offered an amendment, fixing $8 as the minimum pension rate, but it was ruled out of order. Mr. Voorhees spoke vigorously for liberality to pensioners. He did not share the idea that pensioners should be suspects. Pensions are vested rights, and should be protected as is the title to real estate, Mr. Allen then moved to make $12 the lowest pension rate, but it was ruled out of orde INCREASED MINIMUM PENSIONS. The Hawley amendment, making $6 the minimum, was then adopted without division. Mr. Gallinger offered an amendment re- pealing the law cutting off the pensions of nonresidents of the United States, Mr. Davis of Minne:ota said the pre-ent law worked much injustice on the northwest bor- ders, where the pensToners lost their allow- ances by going to Canada. The amendment was adopted. The bill, as thus amended, was p caries $141,000,000. The army bill, a4 It appropriating $23,250,000, was then taken up. Mr. Blackburn explained the comprehensive plan for o neentrating troops at large posts. It contemplated the establishment of two large posts, one at Spokane and another on Puget sound, to be the great rendezvous of the far no:thwest, to o st untimately several millions. This would require the eventual abandonment of Forts Walla Walla, Sherman and old For! Spokane, Mr. Mitchell of Oregon protested against the change and said he had assurances Fort Walla Walla would bo retained. A spirited debato followed as to the loca- tion of northwestern for's. In the gourse of it Mr. Beto of Tennessco sald his commitiee was being urged that Seattle should be the point for the great rendezvous of Puget sound, Mr. Manderson urged the necessity of army centers along the Canadian berders.
