Energetic O-atory on the Inter- national Monetary Commis- sion Bill Point Arena Lifc-Saving Station Bill Passed—Cana! Bill Laid Aside A ain. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28.—The proposed sale of the property of the Union Pacific Railroad u foreclosure pro- r fo ceedings instituted by the Attorney-Gen- eral is sought to be impeded and prevent- ed by a resolution offered in the Senate to-day by Allen, the Populist Senator from Nebraska. Allen’s resolution instructs the Com- mittee on Pacific Roads to inquire and report whether, under existing laws, the v artment has authority to forec e Government mortgaze on the Union Pacific Raiiroad and to sell the property without additional legislation; also as to the authority of the President or Attorney-General to con:ract in ad- vance of sale for the amount that is to be bid; also whether it is not the duty of the President and the Secretary of the Treas- ury to redeem or otherwise clear off all the paramount liens by paying the same, and directing the Attorney-General in the meantime to refrain from entering into further stipulations or agreements re- specting the sale of the property. Allen proceeded to explain and advo- cate his resolution. organization committee would be, by virtue of the purchase, subrogated to all | the rights and properties of the Union | Pacific Company, including a sinking fund of $14,000,000 or $15,000,000 and a land grant of about 18,000.000 acres. It was necessary. he said, that Congress shoula have full information, so as to be able to act intelligently on the subject. He argued that it was the duty of the dent, under the law, not to direct foreclosure, but to pay off all paramount liens and take possession of the property. There was no pretense, he said, that any effort had been mude by the President to redeem the property. The right to fore- close was a secondary right, on'the failure of the primas demption. Platt (R.) of Connecticut asked Allen whether under the statute the President had to use both remedies or whether they were alternative remedies. Allen replied that the language of the statute wasnot couched so as to make the remedies alter- native. The President, he added, could not ignire the provision of the statute. The price fixed, Ailen asserted, was not equ: 10 50 per cent of the value of the property; in his judgment it was not equal to 35 per cent. He complained that the property, worth $140,000,000, should be taken from the control of Congress by an executive order, and said it was bad enou:h to have the Cuban affair and other foreizn matters withdrawn from the control of the Senate without having domestic matters also withdrawn. Thurston (R.) of Nebraska said that he | desired to address the Senate on the sub- i nd asked that the resolution go over 1 to-morrow, and it was so ordered. The bill for a representation by com- ssion at any international monetary conference was taken up, and Chandler #ddressed the Senatein favorof it. He pealed to Cannon (R.) of Utah to with- w bhis amendment requiring the hold- ing e conierence in the United States. He also appealed to Stewart (Pop.) of Nev hom he spoke of as “the friend of my | to withdraw his amend- me, me provides that. within & montb after the failure and adjournment of thie conference, gold and silver shall be coined in the United States mints, the silver into standard silver dollars. Stewart said that he had no disposition to embarrass or hinder the passage of the bill, but be went on to argue that the United States should alone coin silver dollars on a fixed ratio of gold. Afier we fix our own money,”’ he was asked by Hoar (R.) of Massachusetts, “and after we conclude that it is for our good to get goid and siiver coined at our mints at a certain ratio, would it not bea good thing if we could persuade the other nations of the world to adopt the same ratio?” *I think not,”” Stewart replied. “I think it would be a very bad thing. In the first place, it would rob us of the ad- vantage of acquiring silver. stick to gola, although the bill is very humiliating to the United Statesin that it requires other nations to give their con- sent 1o our legislation. I shall not oppose its passage.”’ In the course of a long speech Sigwart yielded the floor for a moment to Mable Bacon (D.) of Georgia to offer an amend- ment to the bill authorizing the President of the Unitea States to call, in his discre- tion, such international conference to as- semble at such point as may be agreed upon. Chandler said that while he did not think it necessary, he saw no objection to it, and therefore he was willing that it should be adopted ewart then wenton with his speech. pile he was descanting upon all the evilsinflicted upon the people and when be used the phrase, “You are responsible for all this,” Hoar asked him, jocularly, who he nieant by “‘vou.” *Did "he mean the Vice-President?” [Laughier]. “When I say ‘yon,’” Stewart ex- claimed, “'I mean every servant of the British power; 1 mean every man who likes to see the poor miserable and the rich happy; I mean those who want to have a stronger Government here to keep down the rabble.” Stewart resumed his speech, and said that he would allow the bill 10 pass in any form tbat its friends desired. At the close of his speech the bill went over till to- morrow, and the Senate went into execu- tive session. The doors were reopened at 4:30 p. a. and the Nicaragua canal bill was taken up. Morgan presented a substitute for tne amendment offered by him yesterday to meet the objection made inthe com- munication of Minister Rodriguez. He also presented resolutions from the Na- tional Board of Trade, sitting in Wash- ington, declaring that the construction of the Nicaragua canal is of the highest im. portance to the commercial interests of the United States. The bl was then l.id aside and the bankrupicy bill taken up, Neison (R.) of Minnesota asserted that there was no bill beiore Congress of such urcency as a bankruptey bill. ““What bankruptcy bill?"’ Hale (R.) of Maine asked, *Js it the Torrey bili?""

THE HARRISON BILL. | station at Point Cal., was taken the ned New Provision Eliminating the Union Faci- fic as Foreclosure Is Confined to the Central Pacific. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28.—After being so amended that it should not inter- fere with the foreclosure proceedings which the Government has instituted sgainst the Union Pacific Railroad the Harrison bull to settle the indebedness of | the Pacific railways to the Government by a commission consisting of the Seeretary | of the Treasury, the Secretary of the In- terior and the Attorney-General was con- sidered at the meeting to-day of the sub- committee of the Pacific Railroad Com- mittee and ordered reported favorably to | the full committee. The bill provides that the Government shail still control the rates of fare and transportation; that the commission shall report their action one year from the pas- sage of the bill, and gives the commission full power to seitie the indebtedness of one or all the bonded railroads to the Gov- ernment. There was a provision engrafted on the bill to-day eliminating (he Union Pacific Railroad from the commission, because the foreclosure proceedings limits the com- mission to the indebtedness of tne Cen- tral Pacific, the branch line exiending from Atchison, Kas., 100 miles west, and the Sioux City and Pacific. The bill will be iaid before the full com- mittee at a special session to be held on Saturday, and judging from the opinions expressed at the previous meeting of the committee it is not unlikely that a favor- abie report will be ordered. In this event Speaker Reed will be asked to set the time for its consideration. The fate of the bill is uncertain. Those who are most deeply interested in it expressed a disinclination to speculate uron the chances of its passage. Erbale e OF INTEREST 10 THE COAST.

Prepares a Bill to Settle the Debts of Pacific Railroads WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 29.—Rep- resentative Hubbard of Missouri, repre- senting the minority on the House Pa- cific Railroads Committee, has prepared the draft of a bill s a substitute for the “Harrison bill”" providing for a commis- mission to settle the debts of the Pacific railroads, Hubbard’s bill provides that each section of the country shall be repre- sented on such commission, and that there shall be thirteen members. There is a provision included regulating freight rates aud passenger fares on the Central Pacific, and in anticipation that Huntington or his agents might possibly buy in the Central Pacificat a public sale it is expressly provided that the pur- chasers of the Central Pacific shall enter into 2o kind of traffic agreement with she Southern Pacific. e ECKELS ON FINANCE. He Tells Why the Country Has Lately Suffered. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25.—Comp- troller Eckels of the Treasury to-day ad- dressed the Committee on Currency,and Banking on several bilis referred to him. He said a great depression had been brought about by overtrading, unwi credit and unusual extravagance—public and private. The great decline in the goid reserve was caused by fear on the part of the pub- lic that the Government could not meet its demand obligations. The legal tenders could be gradvally turned in a way which would not attract speculation. If the plan of Secretary McCulloch, he contended, had been followed and the obligations re- tired, we would never have had the late trouble. RS i Hawaiian Cable Bill. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25.—The Republican steering committee this after- noon decided to make’tbe Hawaiian cable bill the order of business after the Nicaraguan canal bill is out of the way. This action was conveyed to the Demo- cratic committee, and while that commit- tee has not finally concurred the majority THE NDIAN BILL - PASSES THE HOUSE Liberal Appropriations for the Sioux Agency Schools. Humorous and Acrimonious Speeches on Altgeld and Secretary Morton. Agricultural Bill Was Sidetracked. Diffzrences cn the Purity of Ohio Election. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 28.—Sev- eral interesting and at times humo rous acrimonious political speeches were un- expectedly precipitazed upon the House to-day, just at the close of an otierwise dull session, during which the considera- tion of the Indian appropriation bill, be- gun on Monday last, was concluded, and the bill passed with some material changes, all reducing the scope of the measure. Wadswortn (R.) of New York, chair- man of the Committee on Agriculture, haa called up the bill waking appropriations for the agricuitural department for the vear 1897-88, and following Sherman’s course in the management of the Indian bill, yielded the floor to Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio. That gentleman useathe oppor- tunities thus accorded him to defend the State of Ohio from what he termed the faise charges of ex- Governor Altgeld, made in the latter’s speech at the recep- tion given him lsst week. Other speuk- ers defended Altgeld. During the day Grout (R.)of Vermont reported the appropriation bill for the District of Columbia. Thomas (R.) of Michigan gave notice that on Wednesday next he would ask the House to consider the report of Election Committee 3 on the contest of Cornett v<. Swansen, from the Fifth Virginia Dis- trict. The Speaker laid before the Honse a number of private bills with Senate amend- ments, which were agreed to. bills which the house had amended were sent to conference, the Senate refusing to accept the House amenaments. By unanimous consent & bill was con- sidered and passed to extend the time of the construction by the East Nebraska and Gulf Railroad Company of its line through Nebraska. To half a dozén others, mostly private pension bills, objection was made and they went over. propriation bill for the District of Colum- bia. Calenda: The House then went into com mittee of the whole to further consider the Indian appropriation bill. The paragraph im- mea.itely under consideration was that providing for the salaries and expenses of the Dawes Indian Commission. Sherman (R.) of New York offered an amendment changing the phraseology of the paragraph to meet the objections raised by Cannon (R.) of Illinois and also reducing the amount from $50,000 o $43,000. Agreed to. On a roint of order made by Cannon an item of $50,000 for the irrigation of the southern Uie allotments was stricken out. Murphy (R.)of Arizona offered, through Curtis (R.) of Kans:s, an amendment at the suggestion of the Bureauof Ethnology forbidding the removal or destruction of antiquities on reservations in the western country under penalty. Agreed to. The vrovision inserted by the commit- tee that “hereafter where funds appro- priated in specitic tsrms for a particular object are not sufficient for the object named, any other appropriation general In its terms, which would otherwise be available, mav be used to accomplish the object for which the specific appropriation was made,” met the prompt objection of Dockery (D.) of Missouri, and being new legislation was rejected. ‘An amendment proposed by Curtis (R.) of Kansas was agreed to providing that the children of a marriage between a white man and an Indian woman shouid have the same rights to the property of the tribe to which the mother belonged asany other member of the tribe. ¥ The proposition to abolish the offices of Commissioner and Assistant Commis- siousr of Indian Affairs and to appoint a boara of Indian Commissioners to do their work went out on a point of order. * An item of §10,000 for the erection of a bri Y across the Big Wind River on the Bhoshone reservation, Wyo., went out on a point of order. The paragraph removing all restrictions against the Ieasing, salé or conveyance of tue allotted lands of the Puyallup Indians in Pierce County, Wash., also went out on a point of order. Theappropriations for schools ($225,000) and for employes ($85,000), at the Sioux agencies, which had been questioned by Caunon, were agreed to, he having with- drawn bis objection. An smendment was agreed to appropri- ating $3000 to repair the bridge over Big Wind River, Wyo. The last sixteen pages of the bill in which were set out the rerms of the agree- ment with the Shoshone and Arapahoe tribes of Indians in Wyoming and with the Turtle Mountain band of Chippewa Indians, North Dakota, with the declara- tion 1l they be ratified and confirmed, were stricken out on the ground that the ratification had no place in a general ap- propriation blll. Tne committee rose, the bill was re- ported to the House, the various amend- ments agreed to, and as thus amended the bill was passed. The conference report upon the bill authorizing the purchaser of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, under foreclosure of the mortgage, to incorporate the company, was presented by Powers (R.) of Vermont, and he gave notice that he would call it up for consideration to-morrow. The House again went into committee of the whole to consider the agriculture appropriation bill. Debate was limited to an hour, half of which was occupied by Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio, in a reply to the speech by ex-Governo: Altgeld, at the recent banquet given in his honor at the close of his gubernatorial term. Altgeld had declared that, in the late eiection, Bryan was defrauded of victory by stuffin the taliot-boxes in certain States named. One of these was Ohio, in which he said 94,000 fraudulent votes had been countsd for McKinley. If there had been a fair elestion, Altgeld had asserted, Bryan would have carried the State by over 40,000 plurality. Grosvenor said he would have supposed that Altgeld would be the last man to drag out irom the nyldly closing waves of oblivion the facts of tae late election, for it was his understanding that one of the most potent factors in the Republican victory was the desire to defeat a party that haa bim for one of its leaders. Grosvenor declared that no State in the Union had fairer elections or better elec- tion laws tban Ohio. He reviewed the table of votes at recent elections in O of the members this afternoon agreed in- formally that at & meeting to be held to-l | morrow they would consent to this orde: which showed that the Republican vote in 1896 increased over tuat of 1895 by Other | the Omaha and Winnebago reservation, | Grout (R.) of Vermont reported the ap- | an increase of over 200,000. So that what- ever fraud in the Republican vote was be- yond the comprehension of that profes- sional slanderer applies with twice as much force to the Democrats as the Re- publicans. He asserted that in several States the election resulted in increasing the Repub- lican majority. The slander of Altgeld, Grosvenor said, had not bgen repeated nor indorsed by u single Democratic leader or Democratic newspaper in the State of Ohio. Grosvenor's remarks were supplemented by Bromwell (K.) of Ohio, who presented atable of votes cast at State and Presi- dential elections in Onio since the Repub- lican party named its first Presidential candidate, . De Armond (D.)of Missouri, disclaiming any interest in the controversy between ex-Governor Altgeld aud the Republican Senators of Ohio, continued the general debate on the agricultural bill by r-ading from a newspaper article, printed shortly after the November election, which went to show that Altgeld’s charges regarding the vote of Ohio were well founded. As to Altgeld himself, De Armond said, it must be conceded by iriend and foe alike that he had the courage of his convictions and made his charges wiere there was an_op- portunity to answer ttem. He said it might be that the Governor would have an answer here to the gentleman from Ohio, for he seemed to have yet the sup- port of a large and enthusiast.c following in his State, and, he believed, in {he coun- try. De Armond then devoted himself toa topic having some relution to the bill— the bullerins issued by the Department of Agriculture, showing, as he said, the 1llit- eracy and poverty of those States which had the temerity to declare their desire to see the restoration the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. This he de- olared to be a slander upon that part of the people whom the Secretary of Agri- culture in the administration of his office was sunposed to particularly represent. C. W. Stone (R.) of Pennsylvania said: “The gentleman understands that the Re- publicans are not responsible for the official 2" De Armond—Oh, certainly, and I can thoroughly appreciate the gratification you must feel over that faot. Yearsago it was said of a great Secretary, ““The Sec- retary stood alone; modern degeneracy has not reached him.” Now the ianguage is different. ‘‘The Secretary stands alone; modern degeneracy has not passed him." [Laughter.] He apvealed to the Repub- licans to find a piace for him after tnis administration ended. He understood, of course, that he could not be kept in his present place. In former times royal courts comprised such an individual, but | there was no court now to place him. *‘But,” he asked, *‘can’t you put him on a shelf in the museum labeled as a curi- osicy of modern politicul life and modern political administration ?” Grosvenor—I understand the gentleman to criticize my remarks, partly at least, on the ground that Governor Altgeld would have no opportunity to reply. May I ask what arrangement the gentleman has made for the Secretarv of .Agriculture to respond to tnis attack ? De Armond — I cannot imagine, Mr. | Speaker, but that the gentleman from | Ohio, who speaks here at least once a day | and often seversl days, will respond for mm. [Laughter.] De Armond tien, to the greal amuse- ment of the House, describea Secretary Morton as a man who was always writing | when he was not talking, always talkibg when he was not writing, and always do- ing both when not thinking, and con- cluded with the following parody on Gray’s lines: | Foit many & whim of purest ray serene, The dark unfathemed dreams of Mortor bear, Ful many & wheel is formed 10 whirr unseen And waste its fleetness 'eath J. Sterling’s hair. Wadsworth then stated that the pend- ing bill carried a total appropriation of $3,152,752, a net decrease of $102,780 from | tue appropriation for the current fiscal year. In the appropriation for the Weather Bureau there was a decrease of $330 in the item for salaries and a total decrease of $4290 in the same item for the entire de- partment aside {rom the Bureau of Ani- mal Industry. For that bureau an in- crease of $25,000 was provided in order to extend the inspection of meat provided for in the act of March 3, 1891, to numerous abattoirs and packing-houses which have requested such inspection and which have not up 10 the present time received it. The committee arose at 5:10 and on motion of Payne (R.) of New York the House adjourned. TWO REPGRTERS MAY BE DEAD. Inexplicable Collision on the Mississippi and the Newspaper Men Go Down With Their Yacht. NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan. 28.—The Norwegian steamship Albert Dumers and the steam yacht Argo collided in the Mt sissippi River, near Point Eads, at 12 o'clock, and two reporters, members of the Picayune's staff, were probably drowned, asnothing was seen of them after the boats came together. The Dumers lay by and searched for the missing men for more than an hour, after picking up the boats, but nothing was seen of them. Nine persons, including the crew, were aboard the Argo, which had been char- tered by the Picayune to convey its re- porters to the jetties that were to be viewed by the Congressional delegation now 1n this locality. Up to that time no arrangements for the press had been made on the steamer Whitney, which was carrying the Con- gressmen, The Argo left Algiers some time before the Whitney departed with the Congressional party, and this is how she came to be in the middle of the Mis- sissippi when the Dumers was on her way up the river. At 11 o’clock all on board the Argo, ex- cept Captain Brown, in command, and the engineer, went to bed. The crash when the Argo and the Dumers struck awoke everybody, and all clambered on deck in their underclothing to find their boat stove in and fast sinking. The largest boat the Argo carried would barely hold the party, but they crowded into it and cast off. 'The wind was high, and considerable difficuity was experienced in_getting to the Dumers, as the overloaded boat was unmanageabte. The names of the missing reporters are . B. Blessine and Harrison Hesler. The latter is a son of Becretary Hesler of the Cotton Exchange. It is believed he was asleep in the cabin of the yacht, the shock not awakening him, and went down with the vessel. The collision is inexplicable, It oc- curred at a point where the river is narrow and a strong current runs, and Captain Brown of the yacht probably lost his head at a critical moment. el Stelzner Awarded the Fight. SACRAMENTO, Cav., Jan. 28. — The board of governors of the Sacramento Ataletic Club to-night annuiled the de- cision of Referee Donahue in declaring the Stelzner-Van Buskirk fight a draw, and awarded the fight to Steizner. The club had reserved the right to overruie the referee’s decision, if in its judgment the contest Was not given to the one hav- ing the most decided advantage. e The Prophet Uniting the Saints.
