THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH. 4, 1897 THE FIFTY-FOURTH CONGRESS CLOSES Conference Reports Take Up | the Time of the Senate. Final Understandings Reached on the Principal Appro- priation Bills. Hoar and Quay Engage in Angry Colloquy at One Stage of the Session. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3.—The last aay’s session of the Fifty-fourth Con- gress opened with a drizzling rainstorm. In order to save time tbe reading of yes- terday’s Senate journal was dispensed with, A further conference was ordered on the sundry civil appropriation bill The conference report on the bill to amend the laws of navigation was agreed | to. The bill contains a clause that noth- ing in it should be construed to repeal or modify the act passed in 1850, which en- acted that “flogging on board of vessels of commerce is hereby prohibited.’’ Dubois (Silver) of Idaho, chairman of | the Commitiee on Public Lands, pre sented the report of that committee in | the case of theinquiry into the issue of pentents for lands in the Perrine grant in Florias, and Pettigrew (Silver) of South Dakota presented a minority report. The majority report justifies the action of the department, while the minority re- port favors the annullment of the pat- ents and the opening of the lands to public settlement. Both reports were or- derea printed and went over without tion. Tne conferance report on the Postoffice propriation bill (final) was presented greed to. The partial conference report made on the Indian -appropriation bill was agreed to. The points still left open are the Sen- ate amendments to contract schools to the five civilizd tribes; to the Uncompahgre Indian reservation in Idaho, and to tie | fi of the attorneys of the old settlers, or rokee Indians. A further conference was ordered. Consideration of House bills on the cal- | endar unobjected to was resumed, and a bill was passed to set apart a portion of certain lands in the State of Washington, now known as the Pacific forest reserve, as a public park, to be known as the Wash- | ington National Park, Hale (R.) of Maine presented a partial conferenc tion bill and made an explanation of it. He said all the general items in dispute had been arranged and that the contro- verted matters which were still open were as to the increase of the navy by torpedo boats and as to the price of steel armor for ships. Cuandler (R.) of New Hampshire, who 1 tbe amendmen 4 ¢e of armor to $300 a ton, ex gret that the House confer agreed to it. couferees had had before them the offer of the Illinois Company to supply the armo; Hale fore the Co bad not been be- ee in any > 10 get armor at that idered doubtful, the report on the naval appropria- | He asked Hale whether the | ]tiuc in an early appearance. Pugh(D.) | of Alabama, Hill (D.) of New Yorkaud Palmer (D.)'of Lilinois were others of the | retiring Senators who were not absentees. It was just 9 o'clock when a_quorum was announced to be present. Hoar (R.) of Massachusetts and Walthall (D.) of Mississippi_were appointed by the Vice- President visitors to the West Point Mili- tary Academy and Carter (R.) of Montana |and Lindsay (D.) of Keniucky to the | Annapolis Naval Academy. | A vote was taken on the bill vetoed by | the President granting a pension to | Rache! Patton, and resulted: Ayes 38, | nces 12, So the bill was passed over the President’s veto. Cullom (R.) of Illinois announced that he would forego further attempt to puss the anti-scalping bill, owing to the strain under which Senators had been of late and the certainty that the bili could not pass without material amendment. Quay (K.) of Pennsylvania baving sev- eral times suggested the absence of a quorum, thus necessitating a rollcall, and | & quorum each time apvearing, led Hoar | (R.) of Massachusetts to enter a vigorous protest against bis dilatory tactics. “It was never intended,’”’ he said, *‘that the rules should put it into the power of one man to prevent eighty-nine men doing | business—one man Who in some conceiv- | able case might be under the influence of | liquor; and I think—" Quay—I desire to say to the Senator | trom Massachusetts that if he intends to | intimate that 1 am under the influence of liquor— hourgl make no such intimation, Mr. President. Quay—He i3 a lunatic or aliar, and I will not tolerate a suggestion of that sort from ihe Senator from Massachusetts or any | one else. Iam doing what I am doing in | the interest of my constituents. | Hoar repeated bis disclaimer of any per- sonal allusion to Quay, to which the Fennsylvania Senator replied with & re- mark, sotto voce, that the mere suggestion was a “fiithy one.” Quay then went on to say that when the | repeal of the Sherman law was pending in the Senate dilatory tactics ere em- ployed, and the Senate was powerless to prevent it. This reference to ancient history brought Dubois (Sil.) of Idaho to his feet with the assertion that during that tight he never once called for a quorum when there was a quorum of Senators in their seats. The final conference reports on the In- dian and the District of Columbia appro- priation bills were presented and eed to. [hen the Senate took up the bill for the pointment of a labor commission. It lebated by Senators Hawley, Shoup, ins, Squire and Hoar. The latter de- | clared that he was heartily favor of some such commission as that proposed | by the bill, but the passage of the pending bill would prove to the laboring classes to be merely “‘apples of Sodom,” and assoon | as they had plucked the fruit it would turn to dust and ashes. The debate dragged along and at 2 A. M. vas still going on. The bill was then passed, with an amendment provi for a report by the commission within two | years. A resolution offered by Allison was agreed to providing that the standing and select committees of the Scnate as now | constituted be continued uatii their suc- cessors are elected. BDuring the evening the final report on | the naval, Indian and District of Colum- Dbia bills were agreed to. Tbe presiding | officers of the two houses to-night signed | the postoffice and fortifications bills. The my bill was approved to-day, but up to ght no notice had becn received of he approval by the President of the agri- cultural bil. In the final report on the sundry eivil bill the Senate recedes from its amend- ment increasing the appropriation for the Omaba exposition from $200,000 to $275,- 00 | The appropriation of $150,000 for a new survey of the Nicaraguan canal remains.

The final coriference report on tae for- ifications bill was made and agreed to. The immigration bill, which was to-day assed over the President’s veio by the fouse, was laid beiore the Senate. The Veto message was read, and with the bill referred to the Committez on Immigra- . tion. A motion was made by Chandler (R.) of New Hampshire to submit the credentials of Henry: Heitfeid, Senator-elect from Idaho, to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, together with certain me- morials and protests from Idaho against aliowing Mr. Heitfeld to take his seat on account of alleged frauds in his election. This motion gave rise to numerous points of order and considerable discussion, but the motion was withdrawn withcut action in order to resume the regular order— consideration of private pension bi Hill (D.) of New York pleading for this, saying that 1t was *‘no'¥ or never.” An obstacle was struck in several vetoed pension cases, the ground of disapproval being that the proposed beneficiaries are remarried widows. Ailen (Pop.) of Nebraska, in eriticizing the President’s action, referred to the President as the person who was repre- sented so gallantly by proxy during the war, and who had referred 1o Union sol- diers as “coffee-coolers.” Before action could be had on the bills the hour of 6 o’clock arrived, and accord- ing to previous agreement the Senate took a recess until 8 o’clock. The Senate resumed its sessionat 8 p. M., but in the absence of a quorum there was no attempt to transact business. The Senators who were present beguiled the time in chatting with each other and the crowds in the galleries sat waiting pa- tiently for the proceedings to begin. Senator Kyle (Pop.) of South Dakota made his first appearancein the Senate since his re-election ana Sherman cele- brated his last night in the Senate by put- WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3.—The galleries were well filled when the House | met at 10:30 o’clock to-day. Considering | the early hour this morning at which the | House took a recess (3:10 A. u), the attend- ance of members on the floor was very | good. | A disagreeing conference report on the Indian appropriation bill was presented. Flynn (R.) of Oklahoma opposed the Sen- | ate amendment, which detaches the 4,000,- | 000 acres of land belonging to the Osage Indian reservation and transfers it to the | Indian Territory. He made an earnest | piea against dismembering. the Territo { of Oklahoma, and read from the clerk’s | desk a strong protest against the amend- | ment which was adopted yesterday by | the Legislature of the Territory. Mr. Curtis (R.) of Kansas, who de- fended the amendment, asserted that all | the leading chiefs of the Osage tribe | favored the transfer. They were attached to Oklaboma without their consent, and if made a part of tbe Indian Territory | would secure a measure of justice that is ! denied them now by tLe citizens of Okla- boma. He referred specifically to several | cases of alleged injury to the Indians, and | declared with much earnestness that they were being robbed by settlers along the border. | Cannon (R.) of Illinois said that if there was an organized hell on eariy it was among the five civilized tribes of the { Indian Territory. He expressed his | amazement at the insertion of the amend- ment and hoped that the House conferees would be instructed to reject it. By a vote of 57 to 100 the House rejected | the report of the conference and a further conference was agreed to. | Cannon moved to suspend the rules and | nonconcur ip all the Senate amendments to the general deficiency bii | “Mahon (R.) of Pennsylvania wanted the | House to vote on the amendment making | pavment for the Bowman act judgments, amounting to nearly $1,000,000. Wellington (R.) of Maryland made a | forcible plea for the payment of these | ciaims, aue the loyal men of the South | for their contributions to the cause of the | Union. | Sayers (D.) of Texas antagonized the | payment of the claims, saying he had no | confidence in them. | Cannon snid these claims, some of them | dating back before the war and some of them purporting to be what they are not, were trying to steal their way through | Congress in_ the closing hours of the ses- sion. If the House shouid refuse to adopt bis motion, Mr. Cannon said in conciu- | sion, a single point of order would throw | the bill into the committee of the whole— | “and tben it will be more certainly lost than the vilest sinner on the day of judg- ment.” [Laughter.] The roilcall resuited, ayes 182, noes 75, So the rules were suspended and the House non-concurred in the Senate amendments and conferees were ap- poirted, Grout (R.) of Pennsylvania presented the conference report on the District of Columbia bill. The Senate made 135 amendments, increasing the total of the bill §1,658,916. Of these the coaferees bave dispused of 105 amendments, rec- ommending that ihe Senate recede from amendments amounting to $726,670, and that the House agree 10 the aniendments amounting to $379,780, leaving thirty amendments, carrying $552,466, still un- settied. insisted umpon its disagreement to the amendments still involved. Danford (R.) of Ohio moved that the House pass the immigration bill over the veto of the President, and without dis- cussion the roll was called for a vote. The snnouncement of the vote--ayes 193, noes 37—was received with applause, Partial agreement of the conferees on the Indian appropriation bill was re- ported and agreed.to and a further con- ierence ordered. The Senate receded from its amendment to the Indian bill, transferring the Osage Indian reservation to the Indian Territory. A final agreement of the conferees on the postoffice bill was reported and agreed to. The bill carries a total of $95,623.338. The conference report on the bill to amend the tariff law so as to authorize the sale of forfeited smoking opium to the highest bidder was agreed to. A short recess was taken at 5 o’clock and at its expiration Boutelle (R.) of Maine reported a partial agreement of conferees on the naval appropriation bill. Fourteen of the twenty-eight amendments made by the Senate were disposed of in the revort, but the conferees reported a disagreement on the remaining amend- ments relating to the increases of the navy proposed by the Senate and the re- daction of the price for armor piate from $400 to $300 per ton. The report was agreed to. ‘Hopkins (R.) of Illinois moved that the House concur in the amendment limiting the price to be paid for armop plates to $300 a ton. - It was mgreed to tal vote at 9 o’clock. The House agreed to the conference re- port on the fortifications bill, disposing of all amendments. The bill carries a total appropriation of $9,517,143. The House then, at 6:40 o’clock, took a recess until 8:30 p. M. The House reassembled at 8:30 o’clock in the vpresence of galleries crowded almost to suffocation with throngs of peo- ple curious or interested in the proceed- ings of the closing uour of Congress, and there was much disorder both in the chamber and in the galleries. Speaker Reed was forced, in his efforts to secure quiet and obedience to the rules, to re- quest the sergeant-at-arms to enforce them, The House then by a vote of 131 to 52 concurred in the amendment to the naval appropriation bill limiting the average price of armor plate to $300 a ton. Upon the announcement of this vote Boutelle, chairman of the Committee on Naval Affairs, stated that for himselt he did not feel justided in further delaying the work of Congress by inssting upon a disagreement to the remaining amend- ments of the Senate—those providing for the construction of three torpedo-boats and a small practice vessel for the naval academy. He therefore moved a recon- sideration of the vote by which the House insisted on its disagreement, and asked a further conference. This was agreed to. He then moved that the Hoase concur in the Senate amendments, and this was agreed to, and thus unexpectedly the na- val appropriation bill was completed, ready for the approval of the President. The third conference report on the In- dian appropriation bill was presented. The conference had reached an agreement on all items of difference but two—the paragraph suthorizing the use of sectarian contract Indian schools to the extent of 40 per cent of the appropriations of 1895 and the proposition to repeal the law giv- ing preference to certain settlers upon mineral lands. The report was agreed to. The report of the conference on the Dis. trict of Columbia bill (final) ended con- sideration of this bill. This disposed of all the appropriation bills except the sundry civil and the gen- eral deficiency, ana the House at 10:20 took a recess until 11 o'clock to await the action of the conferees on these bills. Conference reports were agreed to on bills for the better proteciion of copy- rights—the Senate provision that it shall not app!v to matter previously imported being adopted—and granting right of way through Oklahoma to the Galveston and | the Great Northern Railroad Company. A final conference on the sundry civil appropriation hill was presented and agreed to. AL 9:05 an hour. RUSH TO THE CAPITOL A. M. the House took a recess for Thousands of Excursionists Clamor for an Opportunity to Witness the Closing Scenes. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3.—The Capitol building was the central point to- ward which thousands of excursionists drifted to-night. Not one-twentieth of the people who clamored for entrance to the galleries were able to get in. Politieal clubs in uniform ana stragglers of*all sorts and conditions pushed and jammed each other in the nalls and corri- dors. Everybody was moved by a desire to see the two houses of Congress in session before the hour of dissolution arrives. In the Senate the galleries wera crowded throughout the entire night. Long after midnight men stood in rows 100 deep, patiently waiting the chance that would permit them to peep in. The private gal- lery of the Senators was filled with a gay throng during the whole evening, and late at nighta large contingent of the diplo- matic corps appeared on the scene and re- mained some time, the ladies especially appearing to enjoy the scenes. The proceedings on the floor were not of the most edifying character. While wait- ing for the reports of - conference com- mittees members callea up various meas- ures and urged their passags with as much confidence in the final outcome as though there was ample time for the passage of the biils in the House and their approval by the President. Perhaps not one in ten of these measures will ever become laws, even should they be rushed through the house under a suspension of the rules. For this reason much of the proc:edings of to-night resembled a mockery. IERE L NAVAL PAYMASTER LEVANIS. Accounts Square, but a Brother Ufficer’s Wife Is Involred. WASHINGTON, D. C, March 3.—An- other naval paymaster has left his post of duty without leave. the officer involved in this case being William P. Brawley on the Yantic at Montevideo. The cable brings meager details of his escapade, which is not connected with pecuniary matters, but involves the wife of a brother officer. Brawley is a young South Caro- linan, son of a Congressman, and was ap- pointed to the service May 23,1895 A week ago he cabled his re<ignation to See- retary Herbert, urging its immediate ac- ceptance, and the foilowing day e disap- peared from Montevideo, either by land for Patagonia or by sea to the Cape of Good Hope. The Navy D:partment at once asked Captain Yates Sterling about the ‘causes of the resignation and to-dav a reply came, telling oi Brawley's flight owing to *‘scandalous conduct af- fecting a brother officer’s honor,” and ud- vising the acceptance of the resignation, his accounts being all right and there be- ing no contingency by which Government loss could result from getting rid of him. s Uneoined Silver in the Mints. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3.—Pres- ton, director of tne mint, has issued a statement showing that there is on hand at tne several United States mints, pur- chased under the act of July 14, 1890, 119,827,991 fine ounces of silver builion, which cost $108,208 996, and the coin value of which is $154,929,120.

A GREAT CRISIS HAS ARRIVED The Powers QOrder Greece to Evacuate Crete in Six Days. Many Believe That a Monster European War Is Inevi- table Now. A Demonstration in Athens To-Day Will Urge the King to Re- main Infl xible. LONDON, Exc., March 3.—A dispatch from Canes, Crete, says that an engage- ment was fought last evening between Bashi-Bazouks of two villages and thp Greeks on the heights of Malaxa, and lasted two hours. A dispatch from Athens says that the representatives of the powers there who last evening presented a note to the Greek Go‘ernmentdemlnding the evacuation of Crete by Greece now admit that their in- structions from their respective Govern- ments were to warn Greece in the most serious terms that the powers had irre- vocably determined to resort to the most forcible measures of compulsion unless the Greek fleet and troops were witharawn in six days. The dispatch also says that the Greek commodore, Sachtouris, has started for Crete on board the torpedo-boat Mikaeli. The Post to-morrow will publish a dis- patch from Constantinople to & news agency bere, ing that the collective note from the powers presented to the Porte yesterday mentions the gradual withdrawal of the Turkish troops from the island of Crete, and suggesis a military convention between the powers and the Porte for the settlement of details. The dispatch also 3ays that negotiations are proceeding between the powers’ repre- sentatives and the Porte rezarding the appointment of a governor for Crete, who, it is said at the Porte, shall be a Turkish subject. The Daily Chronicle will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Athens saying that the contents of the joint note ad- dressed by the powers to Greece have caused a solema realization of the critical moment which has arrived. The palace square, the dispatch says, is constantly crowded with groups discussing the situa- tion. Tne people are absolutely unan- imous and everybody seems to have per- fect contidence in the King’s firmness. On all sides are heard declarations tnat if the King should order the withdrawal of the Greek troops from Crete Colonel Vas- s0s, who commands the army of occupa- tion, alone would return and that all the other officers wouid join the forces of the | insurgents. | A great demonstration, the dispatch states, has been arranged for March 4 to | uree the King to remain -inflexible in the | stand he has taken. 1t is recognizgd here that the situation with reference to Crete is becoming ex- tremely grave, end there are many who believe that affairs have already vro- gressed so far as to make a great European war in the near future inevitable. The action of the powers has postponed the crisis for a few days, and it is hoped that within thac time something of a more peacefal character will take place. The note sent fo Athens requested Greece to withdraw its forces from Crete within six days, and was accompanied with hints that a refusal would not be tolerated. The general opinion is that Greece will refuse to do as requested and that when the time has expired a more peremptory note demanding immediate compliance will be sent. Thisit is also believed that Greece will refuse to notice. Then if the powers altempt to enforce it Greece wiil declare war against Turkey and will transfer the scene of hostilities to the borders of the two countries. ‘What will happen then cannot be pre- dicted. It is known that the connection between the great powers is of a very slender character, and that but little force would be needed to break it. Here in England there is 8 very strong sentiment in favor of Greece and in favor of the an- nexation of Crete to that country. Should a rupture among the powers occur it would not be a surprising matter if Eng- land backed up Greece. Should it decide to do so, it will be in readiness to eive ef- fecuive help, for work in the various dock- yards is proceeding with feverish rapidity, and a great fleet of warships will very soon be ready for business. A dispatch from Athens says that Com- modore Reinick, commanding the Greek warship Hydra, who, in reply to a de- mand by the foreign admirals at Canea that the Greek warships withdraw from Cretan waters, declared that be would only obey the orders of his own Govern- ment, has been recalled for his failure to fire upon the Turkish warship Faud when that vessel joined with the foreign war- ships in the bombardment of the Cretan Christians. A dispatch from Athens to the Central News says that the Greek Metropolitan has telegraphed to the Archbishop of Canterbury invoking the support of the Anglican church for the Greek cause. The Standara will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Constantinople saying that the Sultan has issued an order directing that the 72,000 troops already mobilized be increased to a total of 170,000 SPEAKEE REED 1S OBDURATE. Mo Chanee for the California Minmeral ZLands Bill This Session. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3.—Each member the California delegation to-day received the following telegram:. The following joint resolution was this day adopted by the California Legislature relative to and advocating the passage of the Califor- nis mineral iands bill: 'WHEREAS, There is now pending in the Con- gress of the United States a Califoruia mineral lands bill; and, whereas, the speeay enact- ment thereof is a matier of viial importance 10 Calitornin ; therefore, be it Resolved, That our Senators be fustructed and our Representatives b: requested to use all honorable means to secure the passaze of the same, JaMEs H. BUpp, Governor. Representative Barhem visited Speaker Reed ro-dayand urged him to set a time for consideration of the mineral landy bill, but Mr. Reed was obdurate, so the bill is dead for this session at least. Pl i s Postoffice Legistation. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 3. —In the final report of the conferees on the postoffice bill the House agrees to the in- crease of the appropriation for transports- tion of mail by pneumatic tube from $50,000 to $150,000, but ti.e prviso making | the sum immediately available is stricken ‘Mount out. The Senate amendment makine any unexpended balance of the year 1897 for special facilitie: on trunk lines available for other fast-mail facilities was permitted to stand. The appropriation for the in- land transportation of mail by electric and cable ecars is reduced from $300, to 000, Vg T WANT THE NIC RAGUA CANAL. President Zelaya Give Unole Sam. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 5.—T.h' President to-day sent to the Senate copies of the correspondence or official commu- nications relating to the Nicaraguan canal since 1887 with the Government of Nicar- agua, or any Minister thereof, between the Government of the United States and its Ministers accredited to the Government of Nicaragua. ] The most important communication, perhaps, is a note from Minister Baker to Secretary Olney, under date of February 3, 1896, in which, at a conference held with President Zelaya of Nicaragua, that offi- cial is quoted as saying the Government had taken the opinion of a commiltee of three of their ablest lawyers as to whether the canal company had forferted their rights by not having done any work for many years, and aiter & most careful ex- amination of the gnestion in all its bear- ings the committee came to the conclusion that the company had broken its contract with the Government. “But,” added the President, “we will not throw any obstacle in the way of the company if it will in good faith try to raise the money and go on with the work. If, however, the company continues inac- tive I hope the United Siates Government will take up the work itself and put it through.” mh o Will Not Be “Professos’? Olney. WASHINGTON, D. C, March 3. — Secretary Olney has definitely concluded not to accept the professorship of inter- national law at Harvard, tendered him by President Eliot, but will resume his law vrac.ice in Boston in the course of a month. He intends to remain in Wash- ington for & week after inauguration day. TR Two of Cleveland’s Last Acts. WASHINGTON, D.

Wood of Sterling United States Senator from Kentucky to succeed Senator Black- burn, and that the appointment will be announced to-morrow afternoon or early Friday morning. St. John Boyle of Louisville was offered the appointment, but he declined because he is the Republican nominee, and he will prosecute his claims beiore the extra session which will elect a Senator for the full term.
